@ThanosReXXX Sometimes I like to try things and entertain thoughts. I'm simply complicated
I might still give it a go when I've got time I haven't allotted to anything else, it is still on my wishlist as a reminder.

@ThanosReXXX - That’s hilarious. I was actually kind of imagining something just being twice the normal size to qualify as “American”.
As for emojis, I find them incredibly distracting, and sometimes even an insult on intelligence. We’re not going to always understand each other all the time, with or without them. Online or face to face. A little confusion is necessary, and it can generate interesting/funny conversation. I’m not trying to offend anyone who uses them, that’s their prerogative, but I’m not one of them.
@HobbitGamer Complicated... yeah, that's what we pineapple-loving people are...
Always nice to see people keeping an open mind, though, in all seriousness. Personally, I never let reviews or any outside factor influence me too much. Otherwise, I would have never learned about all the games and movies I've played and seen, much less would I have found out that I really, REALLY enjoyed them, regardless of rather harsh criticism, claiming that they were bad.
Much like with food, in which case my approach in general is to taste first, and then, and ONLY then say that you don't like it. But of course, in the end, I'm only human, so there are a couple of things on the no-go list...

@bimmy-lee Well, if you dislike smileys that much, you could use quotation marks, or the "slash s" to indicate sarcasm. If a joke is typed in a comment, right alongside the rest of a normal text, and the intent isn't immediately clear, then confusion is bound to happen. And along with it, a lot of unnecessary commenting back and forth, to explain it all away.
If you ask me, that waste of time and energy alone is already too much...
But hey, to each their own, and I'm not going to tell people how to live their lives or behave themselves.
All I ever do, is offer options/suggestions. What people ultimately end up doing with them, is up to them.
I do agree that an over-usage of the smiley can be annoying, or come across as childish, but a single winking or broadly smiling smiley really is just meant to lighten the mood or a comment, far as I'm concerned.
As for the super-sizing and then calling it American: funny thing is that even with that pizza I showed you yesterday, even though it says "Big", it probably isn't much more than a smaller medium size in your neck of the woods. Although in all fairness, the big in this specific pizza mostly points to the much thicker bottom/crust, so it's not really about the size of the pizza as a whole.
Speaking of sales. I got the video kid for a $1.25. Its a love letter to paperboy and i loved paper boy back in the day. I had my eye on this one since launch but never pulled the trigger. I figured, it's only a dollar and change. If I play it for 5 hours I more than got my moneys worth
I feel too depresed to play video games right now. 😞😢
My PC got some troubles just now, couldn't open Corel Draw X5 but could open Corel Photopaint X5. It stucked on "Personalize User setting screen"when i opened my CDR file.
@ThanosReXXX - I understand what you’re saying, I just feel like indicating a joke is a joke sort of ruins the joke, and I’m almost always joking, or at least half joking, making a joke of the truth. It’s a coping mechanism. I want to reiterate that I’m not actually criticizing your use of them, they’re just not for me, and I’ll gladly clear up the occasional confusion. Without a little confusion yesterday, I wouldn’t still be chuckling to myself while imagining that I’m gnawing on a still frozen pizza. Maybe emojis are the way of the internet. Other than a brief flirt with MySpace, this is the only place I’ve ever communicated directly with people on the internet, so I’m still a noob, but I’ve learned a lot of e-ttiquette in the last couple years here.
@HobbitGamer - See, there’s so many emojis in that post, I can’t even SEE the actual post. Now delete that post and bring me those toasted cheese sandwiches you talked me out of. And no more of this OLD wine, bring me some fresh stuff. Something from this year.
@NEStalgia - Yeah, I’d only want it in a stainless can. Then pack it in a cooler full of ice to get it near freezing. Like how stainless Heineken keg cans can get colder than any aluminum can if packed expertly in ice.
@NEStalgia I was talking about bimmy, not about Morpheel.
@bimmy-lee No worries, man. Didn't take it as personal criticism or anything. If I was that easily offended, then I'd probably never throw myself onto an internet forum in the first place...
In general, though, I really, REALLY hate the fact that a lot of these online discussions, or rather: useless discussions, often begin (well, for me at least) in large part, due to them missing people's tone of voice and facial expressions, and as such, it is all left up to the other person's interpretation and/or imagination.
So, for me and in general, when in an online discussion, a joke should be a joke, and serious talk should also be just that, otherwise, mixing the two up together, only creates more unnecessary exchange of words. And don't even get me started on the potential for trolls...
But again, it's all up to the individual, so I won't hold it against you. Besides, none of us will ever win from @NEStalgia anyway. He's basically Nintendo Life's resident smiley king...
