Place your random thoughts.

The Dexit controversy wasn’t even the only thing wrong with the newer Pokémon games. But it was Nintendo’s worst decision ever (even worse than starting a rivalry with Sony).
Sony also had a terrible streak too by releasing a string of flops that no one asked for like "Concord" and the soon to be released "Fairgame$" instead of making stuff people wanted like Sly Cooper, Parappa the Rapper, or Jak and Daxter. PS5 is one of the worst selling consoles in the current console market so I'm basically neutral about the last part that you said. Sony also forced the censors on the third party games (the ones from Japan and Korea).

As for Banjo, Kazooie, Spyro, Crash, and other IP's, you can blame Microsoft for all of that. They just don't even know what to do with them.

Sometimes when I'm particularly passionate about something I'm ranting about, I throw in a curse word or two unintentionally. I've nearly done it on school assignments too.

The language rules on this website are actually a good lesson in learning to slow down.

I jot down what I'm thinking rather quickly. It makes me reread to ensure I didn't place any extra words in there.
 
Kamala Harris will be turning 60 next month on the 20th, which also coincides with the 60th anniversary of the death of former US President Herbert Hoover. It's kinda strange, yet interesting how Hoover died the exact same day Harris was born...
 
I just realized I have “Hakuho” and “Trixie Mattel” right above/below each other on my Google search bar thingie, so I need to somehow combine sumo and drag in fanart. Maybe them hanging out with this as the reference pic? 😂

I got it done lol. Not exactly how I envisioned it, but all right.

Man, watching him hit that 50th homer yesterday was soooo cool.
Did you witness it live at the stadium???? :oops:

We started out the year okay, but quickly fell flat. Mostly due to pitching deficiency, which surprise surprise was caused mostly by injuries. Despite having a good lineup our offense was also atrocious at times as well. Adolis Garcia as well as some of the others went through HUGE slumps or got injured, which didn't help, either.

The #1 mistake they made though was trading away Jordan Montgomery. I understand they didn't have the money to keep him, but dude was one heck of a pitcher.
Yeah Monty was an integral part of that postseason run last year. It's crazy he's not on the team anymore!

I'm still salty you guys have Seager 😭
 
I’m working on my socks and shoes acnh item list. I just checked my catalogue for fishnet tights; can’t help but think of these One Piece characters lol. Oda had some…um, interesting fashion ideas lol. (Note: I have no complaints about Oda’s ideas at all; I love most if not everything [the non canon stuff outside of the manga, that is a while different story since he didn’t write them and only approved of the ideas 😬] Before I became in interested i didn’t want to watch or read it since I thought the characters looked kinda ugly or something, but now, I love his art :D.)

I miss watching and reading One Piece; I need to make a point to put aside everything else and start catching up. The fillers and recap episodes not to mention the crunchyroll ads annoy me though.

I wanted to give an update on Keagan (my dog).

Keagan had been very lethargic over the past few weeks. He was taken to the vet, and he has to have surgery. He's getting his spleen removed, which means he'll need to wear a cone. I'm hoping the surgery goes well. He's still getting older. He's 13 years old.

I'm still not sure how much longer he has. He hasn't had the surgery yet. I'm spending as much time as I possibly can with him.
 
deleted the first part for privacy's sake




being sensitive and assertive at the same time is such an odd sensation, like you can hold your ground and stand up for yourself but your eyes are overflowing with tears in the process 😅

also hate that some people see tears as a sign of weakness and a sign that they won. that's why confrontation has always been so difficult for me. no, you didn't win. my stupid autistic brain just likes to make me cry a lot lol.

I think there's a lot of misconception on Pandas.

They often have a reputation as cuddly.

Pandas are normally docile. These are still bears though. Very powerful and will defend themselves if they feel scared or threatened

I think it's important to respect them as any wild animal. They are interesting creatures.

Google has no clue how awful that overview looks on the search page. Especially when they already have something similar like it sitting at the bottom of it.

Maan, it's been over 20 years since PaRappa 2 was released (not counting Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale or the PS4 remake). I do wonder when they'll finally get around to developing PaRappa 3.

Anyway, I came here to say that since today's the first day of Fall, I'm finally feeling the vibes. Only two weeks left and then the Halloween spirit will get to me.
 
Oops...meant to put that into the other thread LOL!

I think Pokémon Ultra Sun and Moon are better off if they are direct sequels like Pokémon Black and White 2 which takes place few years later after the original sun and moon, but they do fix the fact that Hau is supposed to be the final challenger before taking on the champion role and pulling a role reversal of the rival champion gimmick from gen 1.

Yes, I always felt the same. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon would have been the best games imo, but they altered the story and I never even liked it. Somehow Lusamine still cared for her children (in a chaotic way), Ultra Recon Squad weren't even villains and Necrozma just wanted light or something. Like who tf was the villain then? I also hated how they just left the original Sun and Moon's story so unfinished, like Lillie leaving for Kanto to find a cure for her mother was so sad. I wanted them to continue it. I wanted to see how it turned out. I also wanted to see Mohn reunite with his family but Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon did a crap job with that as well. >_>
 
i have an old camera i want to use (from 2016 lol, cant believe im calling that old) but nowhere sells ion battery pack chargers anymore, amazon it is i guess.
 
There's lots of information about the super wealthy investing in underground bunkers.

If the world is ever destroyed enough to need a bunker I'd rather just die. There's nothing worth living for in that scenario as far as I'm concerned. Hiding underground in a bunker while the earth is torn to shreds is not life anymore nor is it anything I'd care to see.

If the world meets it's end due to an idiot politician launching a nuke, just put me in the blast-zone and get it over with.
