Geez.... š
Recently there were some trolls were attacking me just because i have different opinions.
Not negative comments but still they dislike my opinion.
The trolls i have found were recently joined a few hours ago / a few days ago with nasty attitudes.
Also, there was an user namecalling me for defending garbage games (shovelwares). Actually the games were not really crappy, but he backstabbed me by namecalling and assosiated me with shovelwares.
I have addressed those issues to moderator but it seems still no feedbacks yet. š
@Anti-Matter Trolls on the internet? Next you'll be telling me there are fish in the ocean! Come on Anti, everyone knows trolls are a myth! Just like everyone knows there are no fish in the ocean. @ThanosReXXX ate all of them last week!

@ThanosReXXX Thanks for that. I rarely want to post images, but the couple of times I tried it didnāt work. Iāll try to post the direct link next time. Do you know if the picture has to be at a certain size to appear, or any size is fine?
@Tyranexx Hehe. Thereās more Nintendo characters on the way later when I expand the humble abode. How has Toy Link been? Last I heard you were in maybe the 3rd or 4th dungeon.
@NintendoByNature Yeah it pretty fun to play around with the art tool in the game.
Guys I had little spare time and I decided to do a little testing on my intro in Castletoria.
The font of the text is NOT final and really need to make a custom font with sprites.
For now I have the strong base as the code and art are done!
If you hold a button the text will draw faster. I had this in my head for a long time but finally managed to do it. I also do not know if I have spelling mistakes or somethings that sound weird. If a native English speaker could help with that I would be very grateful!!!
This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
@Anti-Matter Yup, all true. But some gamers just like games with a purpose and a competitive environment or goal, so much like all of our individual preferences in games, it may not be a game that pleases everyone, and that's okay. We don't all have to like or play the same things.
@NintendoByNature Haha, look at you, chugging along. Gotta love a new convert...
@Heavyarms55 Hey man, just wanted to say hang in there, and don't let the bad news get to you that much that it starts to overwhelm you. As a person that has struggled with really dark depressions in the past, I can tell you that no good can come of it, and it may very well lead to some ill-advised tunnel vision. We'll all get out of this, so keep the faith.
But glad you got some entertainment out of your games. That's always a good diversion from all the negative, real world stuff going on.
On a side note: I actually did had some fish last Saturday, but it was only 350 grams, so that's hardly an ocean full...
@NotTelevision You're welcome. And no, any size picture is fine. There's probably some kind of protocol on the site going on in the background, that resizes pictures to fit in a pre-configured frame, so bigger pictures get shrunk down automatically. And if ever you need help, you know where to find me.
@Zuljaras I'd be more than willing to help with that, but I think that would be easier to do, if you'd just post the entire text in a comment. In the video, it's going too fast and to stop and pause each time to check a section of text, is rather cumbersome.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX Thanks in advance! Some of the sentences are 100% not correct. I will include you in the credits!
"The battle between good and evil is eternal. This conflict as old as time itself.
Many orders were created to protect the innocent.
The Order of Justice was the main protection of England.
Its warriors are skilled in both combat and magic.
When evil arise, those warriors are ready to crush it.
Until one day a mysterious Castle appeared near the ocean.
How? Nobody knows. Unholy monsters emerged from within and started attacking everything in sight.
The Order of Justice sent many of its mightiest champions, but none returned.
Erhard, one of the apprentices was eager to help.
When he was young he witnessed his family being slaughtered by demons.
The Order took him. They saw that he has a gift for magic and the art of war.
He was determined, and his results were exceptional.
Protecting the innocent is his ultimate goal and punishing the creatures of the night is his calling.
He wanted to go with the next wave of brave warriors to
besiege the Castle. His wish was granted, and he departed to the infernal fortress.
With each step toward the Castle the gear was getting heavier. The magic leaving the people.
The place was cursed, and they knew it, but their determination was strong.
Just before entering the Castle they were ambushed. Hellish monsters swarmed them.
Almost all fighters perished in the jaws of evil. Erhard found himself cornered at the very Castle gate.
Just before he could join his comrades in the afterlife the gate opened on its own and he entered.
Erhard was alone in the Castle Courtyard.
He could still hear the creams of his friends dying.
His chances of survival were never so low, but still he marched on.
@Zuljaras Well, you'll be glad to know that there's actually only some minor errors in there.
Here are the corrections, in order:
(I've put the corrections in bold and italic, so you can spot them easily)
"The battle between good and evil is eternal. This conflict is as old as time itself."
"The Order of Justice was England's main protection."
(or you could say "served as England's main protective force", whichever you prefer)
"When evil arises, those warriors are ready to crush it"
"The Order took him in, because they saw that he has a gift for magic and the art of war."
"He wanted to go with the next wave of brave warriors to besiege the Castle.
His wish was granted, and so, they departed to the infernal fortress.
With each step toward the Castle their gear was getting heavier, the magic leaving the people.
The place was cursed, and they knew it, but their determination was strong."
"Just before he would join his comrades in the afterlife, the gate opened on its own and he entered"(edit: actually, it's better to say "Just before he was about to join...")
"He could still hear the screams of his friends dying.
His chances of survival were never lower, but still he marched on."
(alternatively, you could also say "Although his chances of survival were extremely low" or "Even though his chances of survival were slim to none")
"What does fate have in store for this brave young man?"
On a side note: also check your punctuation. Either use no periods or commas, seeing as in games and with artistic/stylistic texts and fonts in games, you hardly see that anyway, much like capitals, which some fonts don't even have. But if you DO decide to use periods and commas, then you have to do it right, obviously.
One example that stood out a bit, is this one: "Erhard, one of the apprentices was eager to help."
That needs an extra comma after "apprentices", because mentioning who Erhard is, is a side note in a sentence, so the entire part has to be separated from the main sentence, and enclosed in commas, making the sentence look like this: "Erhard, one of the apprentices, was eager to help."
A helpful thing to remember is that if you take away the part of the sentence in between the commas, the rest of it must still make sense (so that would leave you with "Erhard was eager to help"). You can't do that when the sentence has only one comma...
And as shown in some of my corrections, you sometimes use periods to break up sentences that could be made into one sentence with a comma instead, making the text flow more naturally.
So I just got word my buddy's bachelor party that I was going to is officially canceled and his wedding in may might be too. Really stinks but i understand.
@ThanosReXXX oh yea. Today's the big day for me. Hoping my new flooring and wallpaper arrived in the mail.
@NintendoByNature I feel your buddy's pain: May is my month, and I'm turning half a century, but there'll be no celebrations going on, much less a big party...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@Zuljaras You're very welcome. Glad to be of help.
I also made a minor edit, and put the text in italic, so it's even more easy to spot the differences.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
Whew, got sidetracked for a couple days, cleaning, priming, sanding, painting, and caulking a small storage room in the basement. I still have a few colors to put on the walls, but itās mostly done. Iām going to fill it with stuff so I have space to fix up the living room down there, but thereās a chance it will become my (small) retro game room when the basement work is complete, so Iām fixing it up properly with a cool paint job. Iām going with a classic NA NES and SNES palate with white, black, and a very light grey as my neutrals, with red and a purple (very close to the lighter shade buttons on the SNES controllers) as my accents. Iāll probably put a little orange in there too for good measure. Hope everyone is well. Animal Crossing is life.
@bimmy-lee At this point, SO many people are playing and discussing Animal Crossing, home styling and hobbying away, that it's almost hard to differentiate between them and the people ACTUALLY doing something in their REAL homes...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@bimmy-lee Hm, seems that I missed the part where not just @NintendoByNature but also you were newly converted to the AC cause...
Either way, good to see that you've taken the effort to expand your gaming horizons, and glad that you're enjoying the game. Personally, I've never been shy about trying new stuff, whether that's in games or in real life. As my mother used to say: you can't say you don't like something, unless you've actually tasted it. I'm not really in the camp of "well, I read about it and/or seen videos about it, and that's more than enough for me to decide that I don't like it".
A review or a video is good for a (partial) first impression, but neither of them can convey the "feel" of a game or its mechanics. That is the part of a game that either clicks or doesn't click with you during a hands-on experience, and that is the ONLY way to truly find out if it's for you or not, far as I'm concerned.
And to answer the first question that may now possibly pop up in your mind: yes, I actually have played some of those dance mat games, and they REALLY aren't for me. But at least I tried first, before dismissing them altogether...
