"tere's a seller on amazon sells a cartridge with 369 games in one .And another sellers sells a nintendo DS cartridge with 208 games both of these cartridges have a lot of Pokemon games on them"

I play ORIGINAL video games with ORIGINAL cartridge or disc.
That 369 games in 1 cartridge is an ILLEGAL product.
I don't even want pirated games anymore. šŸ˜’
Btw, you know nothing about me.

Oh snap, shots fired!! Dora is about to bring the knife!

I think human’s problem with the rest of the planet is we (collectively) tend to overestimate our actual impact of things. And we have a bad sense of the passage of time. Couple those things together and you often get things more wrong than right. Save for things like targeted destruction, everything else is pretty resilient. Nature is much more brutal and efficient that humans for sure. That’s why some organizations tickle my funnies.

I feel bad for everyone who jumped the gun on their favorite Anti quote. I’ll just be over here chilling on ā€œYou know nothing about meā€ Island.

@Ninfan - Those multi carts are usually pretty trashy. Most of the games won’t look, play, or sound right. They can even damage your system. Probably best to avoid them unless it’s the only affordable way to play a game you really want to play. Even then, there’s no guarantee it will actually contain the real game you want to play.

@NintendoByNature - Man, I blew it. I’ve barely played anything in the last week and a half. I’m right where I was last time we talked about it. Just walked in to the tower of time. Without a doubt, I’m back on it tonight. I bought The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa on sale and played a tiny bit, but that’s nearly all I’ve done recently. Back on the saddle! Enjoy the new adventures!

@bimmy-lee Ooo, that’s a good one too.
I heart your unique self, @Anyi-Matter! 😁

I once had one of those gameboy multicarts from a garage sale. Sooo many duplicate clone games. And now I can’t get ā€œmooltipaasā€ from Fifth Element out of my head.

@bimmy-lee that's rough, but i feel ya.. I'll be going down to central Illinois over the weekend til Wednesday and im sure my wife won't want me to bring the switch on a family vacation. So I gotta get my gaming in these next few days. Wana finish stranger things and hopefully picnic panic before I depart Sunday. I dont think picnic panic will be all that long but we'll see. Sales always get me too. I almost bought dkc returns 3d at target today. On sale for $15. Thankfully I held off. Wouldve been utter nonsense with all the stuff im already playing

@bimmy-lee Well, I'd sooner say that it all starts with our disconnect with nature/the circle of life. We are natural beings, obviously, but across all the ages that we've been on this Earth, we've become farther and farther removed from what connects us to its ecosystem, and only after all that happened, did we become so involved with ourselves as a species, that we now believe that we are indeed the next best thing since sliced bread...

I fully believe that it is this very disconnect that allows so many people to rather thoughtlessly and effortlessly destroy the Earth, by taking from their direct environment what they need, all for short-term gain, and with short-term planning in mind, never thinking past the farther tomorrow, or their children's children's future.

So, if you ask me, if somebody actually would be able to do a snap with a cosmic glove, it really wouldn't be all that bad...

@NEStalgia No, humans truly are the worst. See my comment above this one. All things that plants and animals do, or don't, is part of a well-balanced ecosystem that makes sense (even if at first or even second glance it doesn't directly make sense to you or me), and works for all creatures and plants involved. Unless of course, we're talking about foreign/introduced species, but that too, is once again the fault of humans.

Mostly stupid Medieval suckers, and even some first class a*holes in the era after that, taking their stupid live stock and plants with them, to subsequently disrupt or even completely wipe out indigenous flora and fauna...

P.S.

I'm one of the caring people, so I should and probably would survive any snap or culling. Only abusers should go.

EDIT:
And obviously, you should NEVER want to anger a Mad Titan's father. He may be old, but he's probably more p'd off at life than I am, so you truly want to stay on his good side. And the man's big like me (6ft 2.5), and he's got hands the size of snow shuffles...

@NEStalgia The big difference is that only humans consciously and willingly carry out acts that we know are harmful. Animals and plants only act on instinct and do what they need to to survive and propagate their species. But humans always push things far farther than we need to. Known as the "Holocene extinction" humans are responsible for an on-going mass extinction due to our constant damage and changes to the environment. Everywhere humans go we pave over grasslands, cut down forests, pollute the water, over-farm, over hunt, destroy countless kilometers of wildlife habitats. We dump billions if not trillions of tons of chemicals into the air and water that never would have happened without us.

And yet there are actually people who think we can do all of this and it's never gonna bite us in the butt later. Trust me, it's only a matter of time before we push things too far. lol

tl;dr - I absolutely agree with the idea that humans are the worst lifeforms on Earth.

I was thinking Earth was used to be a peaceful place for animals and plants until humans started to populate on the Earth , took over the ecosystem and developed religions that caused a feud between different religions until today.

I was thinking that we were not belong here (Earth) long time ago. We were prisoners from other planet, created by a Supreme Extra Terestrial creature (we called them God ), dropped on planet Earth (the jail) as prisoners due to error or some conspiracy during the creation, treated as slaves on planet Earth, visited by different "Gods" (Another Extra Terrestrial creatures) with their evangelion and salvation to disguise their real conspiracy behind the religion.

Oh, sorry if my fantasy was too wild. šŸ˜…

To be fair life in general is mostly just a long chain of creatures ruining the existence of other creatures.

We just happen to be very good at it.

That’s a great and simple way of stating it.

@HobbitGamer - Fifth Element is one I’ve meant to re watch for years now. Only saw it once in the theater, and I don’t really remember much about it.

@NintendoByNature - I cleared the tower last night, traveled through time, and became an even cooler looking ninja. We’d be remiss in our praise of this game if we didn’t also mention how funny it is. I died when the shopkeeper was suddenly wearing the same hat as the messenger. He might be my new favorite game character. His stories are great! Hope you enjoy your vacation. Sounds like some well earned time away from the jay oh bee. Anything you don’t finish will just be waiting on you right where you left it.

@ThanosReXXX - I agree. We were probably meant to toil outdoors for our livelihood, just like every other creature. Instead, we work indoors at jobs which, other than providing income, really don’t have any immediate affect on our lives, and eventually; we lost the rhythm. I guess I’m not advocating we live in trees and forage our food, but we probably took a few too many steps in the other direction. Who knows? I like my house, cars, air conditioning, refrigerator and cabinets full of food, and I like that my kids have enough that they can just worry about being kids; but maybe we’d all be happier doing it another way. I try to fill the void in positive ways.

@Anti-Matter - That’s definitely one possible answer Anti, I enjoyed that. We’re all just descendants of space criminals from the future.

@bimmy-lee it really is a funny little game. The gameplay is tough as nails but it lightens the mood with quick one liners.

@Heavyarms55 Massive nail on the head right there. Couldn't agree more. And people still think we're just part of the natural cycle, and that what we do to the flora and fauna has little to no effect...

@Morpheel That's a skewed truth, to say the least. @Heavyarms55 gets it. No species has EVER been so massively disruptive and destructive as us humans. Especially not in such a short period of time.

@bimmy-lee Well, it's not a slight against people like you and me. We're living in this society, yes, and we take advantage of some of its benefits, but we're NOT the ones deforesting the jungles and woods, causing murderous mud avalanches, we're not the ones emptying out the oceans by over-taxing the fishing quota of all kinds of marine life, and we're certainly not the ones killing animals for the sake of "scientific research". (looking at you, Japan and Norway) I mean: how many more whales do you need to kill to find out all that you could possibly learn from researching their corpses? We already knew all we could ever hope to learn from them more than a decade ago...

As long as we're at the very least aware, try to be wise with the usage of water and other resources, and not use too much plastic and such, and perhaps at some point switching to electric cars, hydrogen based cars or at least some kind of hybrid, and perhaps eating meat two or three times a week, instead of five, six times a week , then we're already contributing to a better world.

The thing is, that back in the early days of man, we only took what we needed to survive, and nowadays, we've gone well above and beyond that, and then some. There are still some people/tribes on the Earth, who are living like that, such as Eskimos and certain African tribes, and you can clearly see that they produce little to no waste, and they live in harmony with, and according to that natural cycle.

But it will be hard for most city-dwelling (and/or town) people to do anything but the bare minimum to mind the environment. But imagine all of us doing even that little effort, and you'd probably be able to predict the effect of it.

One of the most important things to start with, would probably be to bring down the demand for things like palm oil, or find ways to replace palm oil in all those products we use, or alternatively, make it sustainable in some kind of way. Right now, entire forests are still cut down daily, to provide for palm oil plantations, that can fulfill humankind's insatiable need for this ingredient.

@Heavyarms55 @ThanosReXXX You guys give humans too much credit. Humans aren't that special. I agree with both of you, and especially HeavyArms55, humans are a disease and a destructive force almost exclusively. But....it's too much credit, almost the height of human arrogance, to imply humans are special and not a natural force as well. Human action isn't like an opposing force of contrary composition to nature. Human action is a result of nature as well, and human damage is a part of natural occurrence as well. Despite forming "technology" humans are just another part of nature, and our overall actions can't be separated from nature. Viruses and cancer cells are part of nature as well. Not all of nature is good - but humans, including building asphalt chemical plants on a wildlife preserve....is still actually nature. Nature isn't always good. But it's still instinct driven. Greed, conflict, arrogance, displays of power (over other nature) are all instinct-driven, just like the wood owls hunting the spotted owls. We're not that special. Other animals, plants alter the landscape around them. Hostile vegitation moving from place to place is more often due to birds, squirrels, even insects moving seeds around. We're more efficient at that than most hostile organisms, except perhaps virii....but it's still part of nature.

And of course it'll bite us. I've been the one talking about the inevitability of a mass extinction, and the fact that "world peace" reducing warfare is the single most destructive idea ever invented, after all.... Humans will be corrected to balance. One way or another. That's what nature does. And when it does, we'll wish we were already on WW-V, because delaying III will make it that much worse.... Whether by warfare (also part of nature), or by famine/plague/disaster, it'll have to reduce into the billions to correct. And it will...
