Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Tyranexx Ahh. Limited time. As much as I like gaming and anime, it is unfortunate my time is as much as it is tbh.
Ender Lilies is fairly hard. The real issue with the map is simply the lack of indication of where to go next. I've had to ask for help a few times myself.
NNK DS uses the touchscreen for casting spells. That's why each one has a pattern to draw, even the "fake" ones. It also means you can technically draw Ashes of Resurrection, in spite of the game's lore for it, which the WotWW version kinda flies against anyway.
I'm afraid of driving. And I'm uncertain how finances will be going forward.
Echoes of Wisdom is kinda neat. I do wish the last boss were somewhat harder though. Because reasons.
I have some pretty bad anxiety issues myself.
FEH's writing got better after Book 1 imo.
I missed out on Pokemon Go for the longest time, but now that I can play it, I find it to be a letdown.

@Mariotag Yep, I did, but I got really tired of the Adventurer Rank thing that you had to reach until you could continue the story, alongside the huge download space for the game. When I played, I didn’t really bother with the gacha except only a few times. I had a bunch of weapons and only around, I wanna say 6 playable characters. It was fun from what I played, but I didn’t stick around for a while. I also tried Honkai Star Rail (another game the developers of Genshin created) but I found it did the same thing where it locked the story behind this rank system and I stopped playing it a week after release since I thought it wasn’t my thing.

I really do like revisiting some of Rare’s games, though I did revisit another game from them, Conker’s Bad Fur Day, back in August and I kind of realized that the gameplay is awful and I sorta don’t want to play it again, at least not anytime soon. I haven’t played Perfect Dark ever since June. There was this extra mission that I unlocked with that Mr. Blonde dude after completing the main story, I still need to finish that one.

I only subbed to the FEH sub once, it was okay from what I remember. There were these cool alternative outfits the sub gave you for characters, and you can even keep the sub outfits even if the subscription expires or runs out, and the outfits did a +2 increase to all stats on a character, and I remember there was a Re-Act feature that let you restart a previous turn. There were way more features there but I only really used the attire, Free Hero Summon, and Re-Act features the most. When I was pulling a lot for a Three Houses duo unit, I should have paid attention to the FEH pass icon near the bottom. That’s probably why some of the other pulls I had were free.

Yeah, I remember seeing some of the crossover images online and it looked cool. Usually, when people think of crossovers in Nintendo games, it’s usually Smash. Bros. that comes to mind. Speaking of Tiki, I do have around two of her Awakening variants in Heroes.

@Tyranexx Usually, I would find crane game machines near the entrances of a few Walmart stores, but I don’t see them anymore. I would also probably choose a plush I want and then pay for it at the counter instead of taking a gamble and getting one from a crane machine. The plushies in the crane machines look cool and well made, but I wouldn’t want to spend a lot of coins or dollars just trying to get a specific one I want.

Heroes has really mediocre writing that goes alongside the story. It honestly is not super great at all, but I do get curious on how the Books end, which is kind of why I still play the story. There are a lot of plot twists and moments that seem dramatic and important, but the writing is eh. My mind is a bit fuzzy remembering this, but I recall that Book VI introduced this cow girl named Ash and it had this plot point with her where she could use this special power but in exchange she would start to lose power with her limbs and they would get gradually weaker but the game completely forgot about that and it doesn’t get brought up again. The dialogue is fine, but it gets really terrible and unfunny when they try to have more comedic or “cute” moments with the characters, but one of the worst examples I remember was there being this weird and slightly suggestive piece of dialogue in a Book VII chapter with Seidr (the girl introduced in that book) that was completely unneeded and weirded me out. The story sometimes gets so anticlimactic, and I wish they did more with the new characters they introduce besides giving them new variants that you can only get via gacha banners. Every book they introduce a new main character, but then when the book is finished, the character is forgotten and never brought up again.

Love rhythm games, but only the mobile ones, cuz I suck so much when playing them using a controller and buttons lol. When I played this rhythm game called DJMAX RESPECT V on the Xbox, I got this achievement just for failing to complete a song chart haha, but it did kind of suck because the game had a nice song selection. I think I played it for only 15 minutes and just uninstalled afterward because I realized I was awful with console rhythm games.

I am pretty glad that most video game hardware and stuff is well made and super hard to break. I sometimes am not super careful with handling some things and they do sometimes break or get slight damage, but I am glad a lot of the stuff I own is unsusceptible to breakage, like when I drop a game controller, it doesn’t get damaged at all and doesn’t show any signs of it.

Also, I saw you were talking a bit about Chaos Wars! Gosh, the clips I saw for that were hilarious lol. This clip is probably the most well-known from the English dub. The bored voice acting paired with the awkward dialogue just makes this scene so hilarious.

Oh my , im thankfull for wisdom! Why? Becouse I just wanted to get the Mario Pin set , but i had zero, litterly Nintendo zero points. So when I entered the site, I saw "hey happy birthday, here's 300 points for you!" Im like, ok, that helps, but still not enough. Then I looked how to earn some points. Animal Crossing Pocket Camp (the non paid edition) is on its way to get paid, but untill then I could play the game and earn some coins. I know that I played it in the past so that I now had some items allready. That was handy, becouse I could easily do the mission whereby I got enough to earn some new Nintendo points. It looked like I allready reached all points, but then I just needed about 50 or something. So, I did some Mario Run missions and voilla, there are the 500 points needed. I even have more then it.

I didn't realize PS4 is already 11 years old yesterday (15 November 2013) and PS5 is already 4 years (12 November 2020).
Happy birthday for both PS4 & PS5. 🥳
Oh, also...
Old XBOX is already 23 years old on 15 November 2024.
NDS Fat will be 20 years old on 21 November 2024.
Wii U will be 12 years old on 18 November 2024 and Wii will be 18 years old on 19 November 2024.
PS3 will be 18 years old too on 17 November 2024.
XBOX 360 will be 19 years old on 22 November 2024.
So many video game machines got released in November for USA.

@Pastellioli Nice new avatar! (At least, I think it is?)
I still need to resume Conker. I currently have Halo 5 in my Xbox, and uh, good luck on getting me through that. I have an adventurer rank of 45 in Genshin, which is probably enough to get me through the full story. I've overloaded on exp for a rank up too, but gotta deal with an annoying sidequest to do that.
That's a LOT more to the pass than I expected tbh. Will say, you're mistaken about each book's character not getting anything further. There are tempest trials periods that each focus on a book's exclusive character, starting with, I think Fjorm from book 2. The current ongoing tempest trials is focused on a duo of characters from book 5. So it stands to reason we'll get more on that one book 7 character at some point. And Ash. Though I have my own issues with the writing. In book 4, Alfonse was supposedly dead, because he cheated death? But book 5, he's there again.
I do feel the game will end at 9 books though.
As for "moments" in the game, I despise the gacha (primarily) idea of your self insert being a center of attention.

@Mariotag Thank you, it is a new avatar! Usually when I pick avatars, I like going for low-poly models or screenshots because they look pudgy and I like old games a lot. I usually make Conker the character in my avatar a lot, though I have had my avatar features different characters in the past.

If you don’t mind me asking, how far are you in Conker if you remember? I only played it for the first time on the Xbox last year and I liked the comedic writing and characters and the really weird storyline, would even say it’s the most memorable game I’ve played yet. Had great memories of completing it; I remember I stayed up from 11 PM and then finished up the story mode around 5 AM, and stayed up more to get the remaining achievements in the game through the multiplayer, mainly because the final sets of levels in the story were extremely difficult and required a lot of retries. Replayed the thing again in full back in August for a Pure Xbox game club annd was excited…and then realized the gameplay was kind of awful unfortunately. I think the game focused too much on characters and writing to the point it made the gameplay and level design an afterthought later on.

If I remember, my adventurer level was lower than that, I wanna say it was maybe at around 11-12, so I had a lot of side quests to do to progress through the story. I just stopped because of that and the fact that it took a while to level up my characters and increase their max level since the game increases in difficulty later on. I only increased three characters max level (The Traveler, Amber and Kaeya) and it would have taken me a while to do the same with the other three characters I had. I liked the game but I just lost interest in it later on.

I think I did do some Tempest Trials, but I didn’t really know that they did expand a bit upon the Book characters. Thanks for telling me that, usually, I focus on progressing through the game’s story when I boot it up. I can remember there being a few more writing issues or plot holes that appeared in the Books, but I can’t remember a lot of them all since I played most of the storylines almost two years ago. I can remember the Book with Ash the most out of them all though, another issue I had with that storyline at the end was that they never commented on what happened to Elm after he was defeated. However, I did like some of the themes of the books despite the mediocre writing, I liked the time-centric theme in Book VII about the past, present, and future and thought it was interesting. I do like how Heroes is themed after Norse mythology, since I read up a lot about Norse myths at one point for an unrelated story I was writing once and I like seeing Heroes’ take on those myths.

I do also wonder when the game’s story will end or when the game will end, cuz FEH is one of the longest running mobile games Nintendo has right now and it has a lot of content and characters. The current Book is supposed to end next month I believe, so they should already be working on the next Book and will likely announce it after the current one ends. I am kind of excited to see what the next Book will look like.

EDIT: Correction, I opened FEH today and they just finished the current Book instead of next month.

@Pastellioli Yeah, I like retro games a bunch myself. In Conker, I'm not quite yet at the legendary poo, last thing I recall doing was something with a peg legged farmer or something.
I'm playing via Rare Replay btw.
I'm concerned FEH will end outside Japan soon. The ending of book 8 wasn't even dubbed. Just slapped subtitles on it, and uploaded to youtube. I'm still guessing only 9 books, because 9 realms.
I see you started Genshin late. When I started, they only had the first two regions out. Of the first 5 regions, imo, Inazuma is by far the hardest. You kinda can't make progress with the default characters. You have to get the gacha pulls if you wanna stand a chance. My current team is Razor, Bennett, Barbara, and Sucrose, and it's primarily just Razor and Bennett. Traveler actually kinda sucks to play as.

@Mariotag Rare is my go-to when it comes to retro games, but I do want to play a lot of other retro games too, I just need to find something that is close and similar to what they make.

I see, so very early in the game! I think the game has a few memorable moments very early, most discussion of the game is about the poo boss and this very interesting sunflower, those two are probably the most well-known characters from the game from how weird and absurd their moments are.

I do hope they don’t end service for FEH soon or ever, cuz even though I do think that the game isn’t amazing, I made a lot of progress on it and I really dislike it when companies have a popular mobile game, proceed to shut it down and not making it offline and still giving people ways to play it and keep their progress. I’ve only seen a game stay offline and playable after closure about twice and Nintendo is taking that approach with Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp. I am hopeful that they do the same thing for FEH if or when they close it.

I want to say I started Genshin in August 2022, around when they added Sumeru in the game, so I was two years late to the game. I see, so the game was probably harder for me because I had a poor selection of characters. The only characters I had were The Traveler, Amber, Kaeya, Lisa, Thoma (the only character I got from the gacha) and Barbara, whom I think I got for free. Genshin had this thing that would give you Xiangling for free if you completed this challenge, but because I did not have a good selection of characters and made the mistake of using default characters for the challenge and absolutely got destroyed, I gave up.

@Pastellioli
I really hope Animal Crossing Pocket Camp got console version on either Switch or Switch 2 with physical release and no micro transaction again in the game since the offline version of mobile version already have all content.

@Anti-Matter That would be cool, I did like Pocket Camp but the micro transactions absolutely drove me insane, especially with the Leaf Tickets. However, I do not know if Nintendo would make the decision to port their AC games over. I think there was a thread on the Direct thread and they were discussing this and I feel like that Nintendo would want the next AC game to follow a similar formula or features like New Horizons since that sold extremely well. But, I think it would be cool if they ported Pocket Camp and let it be playable on a console rather than a phone, especially with how they ended micro transactions in the game for good.

@Pastellioli I have lots of Rareware games I still need to play...
And yeah. Early on.
As for FEH never ending, all things in the universe have an end. FEH will be no different. But uh. It'd help if it weren't a stupid gacha game mobile title. I dread losing all my units when it goes offline.
Dragalia was a good example of a game that shoulda gotten an offline version. Heck, it was good enough, ppl might've gone for a paid switch edition. But no, instead, just shut it down.
As for Genshin, wow. Sumeru was 2022? I'd been playing for a while at that point.. Most of the ppl I've talked to dropped the game at Sumeru, one person saying it became a bit more like a visual novel at that point. The region after that, I heard compared to Ace Attorney. But yeah. You aren't getting very far without the gacha pulls. Even my main team is kinda useless for a lot of stuff. Partly cause I never pulled for weapons...

I ate some ramen from an Asian store for dinner and my mouth is on fire, it’s so awful
The ramen pack came with a vegetable mix and a gourmet spice flavoring packet that you put in when the ramen is done. I let the ramen sit in hot water so it could get soft, but I made the poor decision of dumping the water out of the ramen bowl, since I find that the water dilutes toppings and extra flavoring and ruins it…but putting the spice mix in dry ramen was a huge mistake, it was way too hard to mix around evenly and the powder wasn’t fully submerged, so I coughed too much when eating and it made my nose runny. Spicy stuff is tasty, but I hate it when it’s too hot to the point it makes my mouth feel like it’s burning and makes my nose feel blocked. Spicy wings do that to me a lot as well.

When I make ramen using those packs that come with a block of noodles and the flavoring powder, I almost never use the powder because it’s often salty and makes the noodles super unhealthy, but I chose to give it a try this time and I regret it and I’ll never do it again. Oh well, I have a milk caramel puff snack from a brand called Tohato and it’s so heavenly, so I at least have that after my ramen fiasco.

@Mariotag Rare Replay has a lot of good games and I am so happy I purchased it on sale last year, though I’ll say that the Xbox 360 and N64 games are the ones that are the most worth playing. How many games in that collection have you played? I think I’ve tried out all of them, but I’ve only completed a couple, that being a few 360 and N64 games and nearly all the NES games.

Even though FEH is a mobile game, I feel a certain way when a mobile game that is long running gets shut down, I know there was some effort that went into making the game and it’s such a waste to see a lot of game updates and progress over the years away permanently. I am also worried about my unit collections when the game goes offline one day, even though I only have around 300 of the 1100 heroes, a lot of my units are really good and I wasted so many orbs getting a few of them. Plus, I don’t actually have a Nintendo Account linked to FEH, so I need to be extra cautious with my progress on there. Dragalia did look great, too bad I didn’t play it before it closed. I remember being disappointed when they closed Miitomo and how they didn’t make it go offline, but compared to Nintendo’s other mobile apps, Miitomo was more of a social media app than an actual game, so I don’t know how making an offline version of a social media app would work.

Usually when I did the gacha pulls, I got a ton of weapons and used them for a few of my characters, I often pulled for characters but only got Thoma. Thoma was a nice character and I liked using him, but I unfortunately didn’t level him up more than the weaker characters, so I avoided using him most of the time, but if I did level him up more, then maybe I would have had a better time with the rising difficulty.

@Pastellioli
I will cook the instant Ramen on the stove instead of pouring with hot water unless it's instant Ramen cup.
I will cook the soup first (usually with other toppings like vegetables) then pour the soup on the bowl.
I wash the pot quickly to boil the noodle after making the soup then drain the water and put the noodle on the bowl with soup.

@Anti-Matter What I did was that I put a dry block of noodles in a bowl and then put in boiling water and let it sit, but the way you cooked it sounds like it would work better. Sometimes, I used to put the ramen block in a pot of water and let it boil and sit until the noodles became soft, and then put the ramen and water in a bowl when it’s done. I will probably use other toppings instead of the ones provided in the ramen packs. They taste way too salty and ruin the noodles a lot.

@Pastellioli Eh, only one or two of the Rare Replay games, but that's in decently large part because I own a few of the originals.
Yeah. I put some effort into getting those units! I kinda really like the beast and dragon units.
I tried Miitomo, but never could get into it. The Nintendo social media I ended up getting attached to was miiverse. But that ultimately had some impressive downsides to it. Though, I might not be here commenting today if not for miiverse, so I guess that counts for something.
I have a few higher level units in Genshin that I just never could bring myself to grind for upgrades. Never got any 5 star weapons, but I have a fair few 5 star units. My highest possible level is like, lvl 70-80.

@Mariotag I see! I am a bit of a newbie to Rare’s games, I only started to play them about two or three years ago and got curious and played a lot of the games included on Rare Replay. The only one I didn’t touch was Banjo-Kazooie since I already cleared it and got 100% on the NSO port. The other games were completely new to me.

I really like the Dagger units a lot, and I find units that use daggers to be super helpful when playing because of their weapon range, but I also enjoy the Tome units. Also agree that the Beast units are good too! A lot of the effort I put in to get units really came from grinding to get orbs for hours and pulling a number of times until I hit 40 pulls and could choose a character I wanted, I really don’t want to lose the units I got from that.

I remember liking Miitomo a lot, I did (and still have) a WiiU and 2DS around the time so I could have used Miiverse, but I only made maybe two or three Splatoon-related posts on it and didn’t really use it. I know it’s more well-known than Miitomo, and I did think Miitomo was nice but there wasn’t a lot you could really do besides looking at others Mii creations, answering questions, playing a mini game to get customization accessories and outfits, and that feature people used to take and make photos with Miis. I remember some aspects of it were very similar to Tomodachi Life.

Oh yeah, I really didn’t want to grind a lot in Genshin just to level up characters a lot, especially with my experience grinding for orbs in FEH and how annoying that was, hence why I only had half of my character roster in Genshin leveled up. When playing Genshin, I don’t think I ever had a 5-star character. All of the characters I had in Genshin were 4-stars, so they were sort of weak unless I actually tried leveling them up and upgrading them.

Time to play catch-up. Wow, it's already been a year since Trolls Band Together came out. Think I know what I'm watching tonight.

Indeed, the cool thing is Sega did release a patch to the game in January of 2015. Was a fairly big update (around 1GB), it ended up fixing a lot of the bugs and problems the game had at launch (yet, too late to undo the damage reviews and YouTubers did to it). Yeah, you had people like myself who liked the game for what it was, though I do feel we're kind of uncommon given the popular opinion on Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric recieved. I was late to the show, my copy of Sonic Boom Fire and Ice came with some episodes on a DVD, then I got the DVDs of the series later on. Yooka-Laylee IIRC was trying to be like the older N64 era of platformers. Never played it, that would be my guess to why it may have had outdated level design. Super Lucky's Tale was the original Xbox and PC one, I have it on PC. New Super Lucky's Tale was a remake. Both versions were great IMHO.

Really surprised Rare hasn't done anything with their old IPs and some of the games have been outsourced. I do recall a version of Killer Instinct that was available on Xbox, even though I never did play it. I think it might have been on the Windows 10 store at one point too.

Nice, I actually did recently watch a movie on YouTube's movies with ads too. Legends of Oz: Dorthy's Return. I remember watching this one with my friend and all this talk about the upcoming Wicked movie made me remember it. When I went to watch the trailer, to my surprise, the movie was on YouTube as a free with ads movies. So watched it again. I was also surprised to see Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius recommended alongside that movie too. Nice, I should try to watch Barnyard one day. I remember the promos Nickelodeon had for the movie a long time ago. I remember seeing Secret of NIMH once, I think it was on one of the free streaming channels years ago, I remember it was good, but also a really dark movie. Got to hand it to Don Bluth, he did not shy away from dark themes. All Dogs Go To Heaven was dark at times too.

Indeed. I feel the worst on Instagram would only be comments sections of larger accounts. I like wrestling, follow WWE, but wouldn't touch their comments section. Comment sections on other accounts tend to be fine for me.

Alrighty, that's fine then. The update actually fixes a lot of the issues the games had at launch. Indeed they are platformers, Sonic Boom was different than the usual Sonic game. Yeah, the Wii version did have a lot of the werehog stages, they were broken up into parts (I think because of the Wii's limitation). I haven't played the Xbox 360/PS3 version, because just like Sonic 06, I lacked the system to do so. Always been a Nintendo and PC guy.

I know how Sonic 06 does get despite not playing it, I've seen too many YouTube videos on the game to even count, lol.

I really started to laugh when Karen started talking. XD Ok, this is pretty bad. I'm also being reminded of the first Sonic Adventure. Sonic saying to Tails "Tails, watch out, you're gonna crash, ah!" with no emotion whatsoever, lol.

Not only that, but they definitely will hate it when I make garlic bread, lol.

@Pastellioli I have both Banjo Kazooie and Banjo Tooie on OG N64, but haven't touched Tooie, while Kazooie is still on the final stage, because a certain family member had a temper tantrum, and swiped all my game consoles off the TV, as well as overturned all my containers with games and videos in them. (And yes, they were an adult) It was years ago, and I never quite recovered from that moment of enttledness.
I prefer the close ranged units, but will admit, longer range units have many advantages. Having played the main games, or at least a bunch of them, I'm used to long range units being helpless when attacked, and you should only send them out when they can't be attacked.
I usually just collect dailies in FEH. It adds up, even if you miss some banners. I got some really good luck lately, but it's already ended.
I initially just made some posts for fun on miiverse, then some accomplishments, before full on joining chatrooms in 2015. One thing I learned the hard way is it's dangerously easy to have a minor approach you, and you end up "friends".
Genshin grinding is simply too much. Get materials from the map, duplicate units, fight enemies at a specific difficulty tier, and refight bosses.

@Sunsy Have you tried P06? I hear it's great, but doesn't have the Sonic 06 cutscenes. If Sega remastered that game, I'd love it.

@Sunsy Compared to most, although I didn’t fully play the games and only the demo for the Wii U game, I kind of didn’t mind the more Westernized look and designs for the characters the Boom games took. I heard that Fire and Ice was the best out of the Boom games, but I also remember reading that the Boom games kind of got ruined because Sega signed an agreement with Nintendo to release a few Sonic games exclusively on WiiU and handheld platforms, and they chose to have the Boom games as Nintendo exclusive, though the studio developing the WiiU game apparently didn’t intend for it to be a WiiU exclusive and the game couldn’t run well because it wasn’t being developed for the WiiU in the first place. I’m sure if that didn’t happen, then some people would have thought about the Boom games more favorably. The show was amazing though, I remember seeing some episodes air on Cartoon Network and then I went binge watching the show on Hulu with my family but I don’t think we got to finishing it. I probably will maybe try Super Lucky’s Tale if I get Game Pass again and if the game is still on there by the time I get a game sub. I really want to try new games.

I think Rare moved on from using their old IPs (namely the IPs from the N64 era and pre-N64 era) since most of the people and workforce that worked on those games left the studio throughout the 2000s during the Xbox 360 days. I think they did acknowledge that fact and someone who works there (I can’t recall his name) said something like “Rare still exists, we just make new games” since a lot of people think the studio kind of became a shell of its former self, not to mention that some of the original employees don’t have an interest in working with their old IP. Compared to most studios, Rare (both in the past and present) dislikes making sequels to their games or milking them to death, so most of their games stayed as one and done things or either got one sequel or another entry of some sort, and then they moved on to an original game afterward, which does explain why they haven’t worked with their old IPs since 2008, so Microsoft instead outsources their classic IP to other studios that have an interest in using it or have the skills to make new entries, though so far, only three of Rare’s old IPs have been revived (being Killer Instinct, Battletoads, and the upcoming Perfect Dark reboot). I would love if Banjo did get a modern game alongside those three.

I have heard of that Wizard of Oz animated film, I haven’t watched it but I remember watching a review of the film and I do think that a lot of the character designs in that movie are nice, especially the porcelain people and the porcelain princess. YouTube offers a ton of nice movies, it kind of surprises me that they had the rights to make some movies free with ads, especially since a lot of companies took their movies off of other streaming services and made them exclusive to their own streaming services, like Disney removing a majority of their library off of Netflix to move it to Disney+. I can remember a bit of Barnyard before I rewatched it, but I think that it came from the show that came after the movie. Even though a lot of people thought that movie wasn’t good, it’s kinda a guilty pleasure for me, cuz it’s fun watching it when bored, and it’s themes and the more serious parts were done shockingly well in my opinion. Yes, rewatching Bluth’s movies, I didn’t realize they were kind of dark despite being aimed toward kids and families. I was surprised with some of the violence in N.I.M.H (as well as how the final battle with Justin and Jenner ends) and I was already expecting All Dogs Go to Heaven to be dark since I saw that years ago, but seeing some parts in that film again did shock me. I actually found out that another movie he made, Anastasia, is also on YouTube as free with ads, so I’ll probably watch that later today and rewatch Barnyard again too. I’m having so much fun watching movies now, I’m super excited to go back to the theaters next month for Sonic 3!

Some comment sections on some videos and accounts are funny, but I’ve seen some that are super rude on popular videos for no reason. Since popular videos and accounts have more people leaving comments, of course there will be some bad apples in the comments section. I usually like being recommended posts by smaller accounts and artists, the people there are super friendly and kind to each other There are a lot of smaller art accounts Instagram recommended me and I enjoy what they post.
