Place your random thoughts.

I’m a bit bummed that the eggs that I am working on or planning on doing for fun aren’t done yet; there was no rush since they’re for fun, but I was hoping to have them done before the egg hunt. On a plus note, I’m making progress on the first one and I’m really happy with how it looks. I’m a bit daunted by the challenge of drawing, coloring and shading part of it.

How easy it is to mod a 3ds (not talking from experience of anything no definitely not....)

Former 3DS modder here. It was easy for me to homebrew it. (You'll have to look it up if you're wondering how I hacked it, because if I say anything more about it I'll get in trouble.)
 
If I could run a TBT Fair, it will be culinary-themed. But if I could run a Camp TBT, the theme will be geographical no matter what it’s based on. If I could, I might go with the Texas theme.

Hey I have a really important question for you all. Who would win in a fight, the Muppets or Sesame Street?

If it's the entirety of Sesame Street, they have way more bodies to bring to the fight. The downside is that most of them are benevolent, whereas you got a handful of dangerous Muppets who will do anything to win.

If it's just the main cast, Sesame Street, because I will manipulate the outcome and offer Cookie Monster infinite cookies if he brings glory to Big Bird.

I get overwhelmed so easily with notifications that my reaction is to just ignore them.

I've had a message sitting in my inbox for over a month.
 
I was gonna say, mullets 🤣 MUPPETS! have more aggression and passion.

I am pleased to notice that me feeling itchy after eating pork is waaay less than it was a few years ago. I was hoping it would fade away over time since I didn't always itch in the past from it.
That or there is something in our ham that isn't in other pork. Like a certain preservative or something.. but I'd imagine I'd run into it somewhere else since so much of our stuff has preservatives and added chemicals. I haven't tried ham since noticing the great decrease in itch after eating pork.
Also something else random... We are getting storms Friday. I hope it isn't anything horrible considering many people are celebrating a holiday this weekend.
 
I have so much stuff going on this week and the next, I keep mixing both weeks up. This is the kind of situation I bought a physical calendar for. Why am I not writing anything down on it?

I'm thinking Sesame Street.The Muppets have Miss Piggy and Animal but not much else.Fozzy Bear is a wimp.The Muppets have a couple of crazy guys in Grover and Cookie Monster plus they have a real vampire,The Count.Then there's the big guys,Big Bird and Mr.Snuffleupagus.Would the humans from Sesame Street be allowed to fight?If so,yeah then Sesame Street all the way.
 
I realized that in naming a fictional couple Clay and Crystal…I not only gave them names with the same letter, but also materials!
 
people out here now talking about how "Nintendo is losing their identity", brother Nintendo has been losing their identity for the past decade!!!

nothing felt quite right to me after Satoru Iwata passed away. I was still pretty young when it happened (16, yes, a young Bug) so I didn't quite understand his impact on the company, but I at least understood that he was a very important and respected figure, and I acknowledged that most of my favourite Nintendo games credited him as the executive producer. I see him now as an icon and a legend who left the company with a great legacy. I'd love to learn more about him.

but I digress. it was even harder when Reggie retired from Nintendo of America. talking about icons, Reggie is seriously ICONIC. I'm glad that he still offers his insight and commentary on the current state of Nintendo, not to create an echo chamber but to allow fans to understand just how hard Nintendo as a company has fallen since his departure.

I remember that, even during the Wii U era, which was extremely hard for Nintendo financially speaking, there was still something to be enjoyed about the services which they promoted. as much as I'm not really a fan of the Wii U, I will admit that it is very charming. it didn't need to be a high-end console to appeal to me. I actually largely ignored the Xbox One and PS4 when I was a teen, not because I was a Nintendo fanboy/apologist, but because I genuinely thought that the Wii U was a neat console. there's so much life to it! it's cute and charming and quirky! and that charm extends back through Nintendo's history as a game company, they've always been fun and wacky and I really love that. Nintendo as a company felt approachable to me, I didn't feel like they were completely disconnected from their user base.

I suppose it could be because I've grown up, I'm sure that plays a factor in this to some degree. but I really feel like the Switch marked the beginning of an era where Nintendo didn't feel approachable anymore. I wanted to adore Super Mario Odyssey in the same way that I adore Super Mario 64, but I couldn't, and I don't. at the time I didn't quite understand why, but as the years go on and Nintendo continues to make some very questionable anti-consumer decisions and claims, I see. they're really just losing their vibe, losing their identity. Odyssey feels empty somehow, and even New Horizons feels empty. it's only a shell, lacking the fun and charm and whimsy and uniqueness that made older Nintendo games so great. not to mention the amazing and friendly and approachable people working and speaking on behalf of the company.

I know that Nintendo has been making questionable decisions for decades—the situation with "Wii Motion Plus" was bizarre, and the Gamecube was just a flop all around—but that didn't stop them from cultivating positive experiences which would define the better moments of my young life.

idk I'm kinda just rambling at this point. I'm tired this evening. I just miss Nintendo honestly, I miss the Nintendo that I knew before. I go back and play Super Mario 64 and Animal Crossing GCN, and I don't even need nostalgia to tell you that they are genuinely fun and quirky experiences. I miss that. and that's why my Switch is collecting dust while I play my Wii and Gamecube. the vibe isn't there anymore, and it's sad.

Very heartfelt post!

The part I quoted is, I think, the most important part of what you said. I can totally relate, but from an even older perspective. I felt like Mario 64 marked the beginning of an end to an era, just like you felt that about Odyssey. To me, 64 was too much. The identity of Mario was mostly side scrolling games before that, and they felt more personal and suddenly 64 was epic and lost what Mario had before.

It doesn't make what I felt wrong, or what you feel is wrong! I guarantee that my young nephew thinks the Switch is the greatest thing ever, and someday he will feel the Switch 3, or whatever new thing Nintendo comes up with by then will be the end of its era too!

By the way, Nintendo has been messing up since the beginning... Power Glove??? 😆
but they always try, and hit or miss they keep winning the long game.
 
Out of genuine curiosity, what has been going on with the "What's Bothering You?" thread lately? Normally every post in that thread gets numerous reactions from other people but lately I've noticed that everyone's posts in the thread are getting little to no reactions. I am not trying to insist that people are obligated to react to posts in that thread, nobody on the forums is "obligated" or "pressured" to react to anyone's posts and I don't really think it's that deep if a post gets no reactions but I'm only curious about why this has been happening, it's a bit unusual to me is all.

Could be because of the feedback given in regards to the Hug react in the Official Feedback thread
