@Anti-Matter In a world filled with copy-pasted people hyped about Mario, Zelda, Uncharted, etc. you choose to stand alone and share your enthusiasm about the prospect of raising virtual babies.
I highly doubt that baby game up there is any worse than that racing pooping baby sim (IIRC) that someone reviewed awhile back. But it may prove me wrong.
@Zuljaras Agreed. A lot of people online, particularly in emotionally charged times like these, tend to react or cherry-pick pieces of text they don't like in a comment and automatically make assumptions without hearing the full story from the initial party. Civility isn't impossible, but usually it devolves to name-calling, finger-pointing, and worse. This disregards obvious troll posts of those intentionally trying to worsen a situation, however.
@Heavyarms55 Sounds similar to the plastic my family would have to lay down in the house when hauling in/out the live Christmas tree every year. Live trees are nice in some respects, but they drop needles and bits of bark/wood like crazy. How much depends on the type of coniferous tree, though. It's a family tradition type thing my parents still do, but it's lost its magic now that the tree farm they go to already has the trees pre-cut. We'd go out to a tree farm, dad would bring a saw, and we'd all pick one for the season. He did the initial cutting, then the rest of the trimming was done before ratcheting it to the vehicle we'd brought.
I'm not fond of using weed killer, but there's no denial that it's definitely effective. I can't use it everywhere I want to, however; there are some sensitive plants that I still need to hand-weed around as I don't want them exposed to the stuff.
@NEStalgia Yep, it definitely seems like a very finicky field to be in. I think most meteorologists really do try, of course. I just don't think predictions should be made more than a few days in advance. Forecasts change by the hour, sometimes by the minute. What bothers me most, however, is how some places like the Weather Channel really start sensationalizing all of this stuff....I mean, it's the WEATHER.
@ThanosReXXX The only problem with my own chair is that the color doesn't really match the room it's in (walls are a light lavender), but I consider it a small sacrifice. It's red/black, a color combo I really like. The alternative was white/black, which would have worked better, but I dislike having lighter-colored furniture as I think it's more of a dust/stain magnet.
On the tunneling mini-badgers from down below: Sounds like I might need to make a whole range of annoying noisemakers, then. That could actually be fun. I'll at least start off with taking the very bottom off of a glass bottle when I get a hold of one. Thanks for the suggestion!
@NotTelevision The irony is that I've been to Universal Studios in California, though that was in the late 2000s. I enjoyed that visit immensely as well; we got to see some pretty cool things and even went on the park's studio tour. I remember we had to be pretty quiet at one point as there were a couple of shows in the area in the middle of a shoot at the time. There were plenty of neat rides and decent shows, too.
The Harry Potter books are amazing. I slightly prefer them over the movies. As far as book adaptations go, the movies are very good, among the best I've seen.
@NEStalgia Ohhh so that's how it works. Okay then. Here I thought the 400s and other weird numbers disproved the doubling thing. I didn't consider they might just be faulty repacked versions of different more conventional sizes. I'm still on the fence about what card I want to upgrade to, I could get a 512 for like 90 bucks, but that would presumably be full again rather quickly. But if I wait a few weeks it looks like I can get a 1tb for "only" about 320, instead of the current 450 I see listed. It's very tempting because 1tb would be more than doubling my current card, instead of just adding about 25%. It's more money, but a lot more space too...
@Tyranexx Yeah I bet they would be. We never used live trees in my family. My father was extremely picky about keeping the house clean. I grew up thinking most people took their shoes off before coming inside the house and never realized why my parents always asked people to do the same when visiting until like high school. So we'd never have a live tree because of the potential mess it would make. It's also part of the reason why we had no pets allowed.
And yeah, if I had a garden, I wouldn't use weed killer in it for that sort of reason. It is poison after all and I wouldn't want to kill the planets I actually cared about.

I heard there is a game called Bug Fables that is like PM64/TTYD.
What do you guys think about it?
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.
@La-weejee And just as I thought: "well, how much worse and/or creepier can it get", we've reached a new low... (shakes head)
@NEStalgia Well, whatever they end up doing, I'm pretty sure we'll hear all about it soon enough...
@Tyranexx You're welcome. Be sure to let me know if it worked for you.
As for furniture: all my furniture is either black, or in nature-like/earthy tones. You've obviously seen my desk chair, so that's black, I have an L-shaped couch/lounger that is also black (and also faux-leather, like my desk chair), and then I have four of these:
Two in somewhat of a wine red tone, and two in moss green. And from the looks of it, this is definitely the new and improved model, with better seat and head rest, and the whole underside and back now has some kind of sturdy support layer. Mine just have the wooden frames on the sides and on the floor, the seat itself being an iron tubing frame, suspended/bolted between the wood, so you're basically "hanging" in between, if you sit on them.
Oh, and my walls are white, so they go with just about anything. The floor is laminate paneling, wood tone. You can actually see a bit of it in my desk chair photo...

@ThanosReXXX what’s so creepy about a 40 year old man wanting to play a game where I pet a virtual baby.
Your so sick minded 😉 @Anti-Matter do you know other games where you can play with babies
I actually bought that one for my niece, back in the day when she was 8, and the Wii was still a current gen console. At least she was of the appropriate age to play that kind of stuff.

@La-weejee Well, you asked. Maybe not from me personally, but I happened to remember that one, and of course, I'm always willing to help out a fellow NLife member...

@Heavyarms55 just be careful about brands. Some of those Chinese off brands aren't worth the discount when they start corrupting data. Then again some genuine brands (Samsung) can be counterfeits even from authorized dealers (sold by Amazon proper). There was a bad batch if 256 cards a few years back....i had 3 in 3 switches. All of them started corrupting. Even on my 512 replacements I sometimes load an old game and get "data corruption detected" left over from that mess.
Personally i wouldn't waste $90 for 112GB...(400 replaced by 512,) but I also have yet to justify the premium on 1TB. And i haven't been able to trust the off brands just yet. Some are real. Some are low grade components. Some are falsified capacities that start overwriting or writing to the big bit bucket in the sky. Like the samsung fakes.
@HobbitGamer That also happens to me sometimes, and even quite recently. Last week, if I remember correctly, and I have no idea why. But I'm getting them now again, so apparently, the issue is fixed. Perhaps you should try cleaning out your browser cache, or logging out and logging back in again.
On a side note: I don't know how many pages you missed either, but nothing very exciting happened, other than mostly Animal Crossing and Pokémon talk, and me mentioning having bought a new desk/gaming chair and a Neo Geo Mini, so now you're all up to speed again.
@Heavyarms55 Your dad sounds like the total opposite of mine, in terms of cleanliness. XD My dad is a downright slob. If he'd never gotten married, I'd shudder to think what his place of living would look like lol. Mom tries to manage the mess with some success, but he tends to be a bit of a pack rat. He keeps most of his junk (old magazines, papers, VHS movies, collectibles, and so on) in the upstairs of an outbuilding on my parents' property. It's that Other Building I've mentioned before.
To be honest, I try to enforce the no shoes rule at my house as well. I'll allow them inside, but with a few exceptions I generally want them taken off just inside the entryways.
@ThanosReXXX That lounger looks pretty comfortable, so I'm assuming that goes for your actual loungers as well. Nifty design too.
Most of my walls are a white or off-white, but my office/one bedroom is a light lavender while my bathroom and bedroom are both painted sky blue. The flooring in my house is about 75% medium-pile carpet (various colors of brown, best comparison is to brown sugar) and about 25% tile.
With the exception of that chair, most of my other pieces of sitting furniture are in various states of used. I lucked out and got a three-piece living room set for free (couch, love seat, recliner) that wasn't heavily used; they are, however, kind of a cream/off-white color. I got it all off of a coworker's parents who were just trying to get rid of it in order to make room for a new furniture set. The only catch was I had to haul it off on my own.
@HobbitGamer I've had that happen a couple of times lately, too. I would've missed a mention in The Nintendo Switch Thread if I hadn't been manually reading through it...which I don't always do. XD I had assumed the reply had been edited in (as those don't send notifications) until I noticed that the post hadn't been changed.
