@DegenerateStar
Eh, No. 😅
I made my calendars annually just for fun.
Still have no plan to sell it on public.
But here is one example of my Calendar 2017.

@Anti-Matter Oh, I'd have to look it up for the southern hemisphere. Sorry. But the two are real close together in the sky right now, so if they are visible at night from you're location, you should see one bright "star" and then a dimmer one very close next to it and slightly to the right. And if you have good eyes or strong glasses, the dimmer one should look faintly yellow. That would be Saturn. The brighter one is Jupiter I believe. Jupiter is larger and closer, so I assume it's the brighter of the two.

@SM3DASislit It was a picture of buff SpongeBob, I was parodying @Anti-Matter's non-chibi character.

@SM3DASislit I used to like him. But after some very ugly click baits with ZERO relevance I unsubscribed from him. Also he does not have any personal opinion on things. Just like most of those "gaming news" channels.

Anyone remember the Road Rash series? These games had great tracks and that nice 90s rock aesthetic.

@Vinny I most definitely do, great times. If that's the type of game you'd like to see re-imagined, then look no further than Road Redemption. I also have it, and it's definitely an entertaining title, in my opinion. It's available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation and also on the Switch, so basically on any current gaming platform available.

Here's a trailer and underneath that, an honest review of the Switch version:

@ThanosReXXX I thought that Red Dead Redemption was coming to Switch when I first read the video title.

@ThanosReXXX
I realized that once I posted it. I did get rid of some of the emojis I had originally, but I was thinking if I should get rid of any more emojis, as I thought it still had way too many of them. I also got rid of some more of them. So, thanks for confirming what I was thinking.
If you (or anyone else) happen to have any more friendly advice to give me in the future, please feel free to let me know. 🤔

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
Oh, okay. Haha, I get what you were doing. 😆

@Zuljaras
Oh, yikes. Sorry to hear that you got click baited by him.
I haven't been click baited too much, but I definitely get where you're coming from.
That's what someone else in this forum said regarding "gaming news" channels. 🤔

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Sorry for getting your hopes up...

@SM3DASislit You're welcome. I'll share a secret with you: I'm kind of partial to emojis myself, and mostly so because in my view, they do help to convey the feeling/intent of a sentence or word, which is something that plain text obviously lacks, seeing as you miss the tone of voice and facial expression of the person making the statements, so I do at times have to reign myself in as well...

So, kind of speaking from experience in that regard.

P.S.

Instead of those small, creepy and hardly discernible emojis, we do have our own, normal-sized ones here on NLife. The text codes for most of them can be found here:

But if you want to find out what is what, you can also hover the mouse pointer over some of the ones I've posted below, so you'll know what to enter into your own comments.

My friend bought me the Halo Master Chief Collection on PC. And this PC of mine that I built a few months ago can run it with all the setting pushed to the max. Time to relive middle school gaming for me!

Also playing Halo on PC with a Nintendo Pro Controller is so weird. But I love it!

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

Work team Christmas party was this afternoon, on-site and via Zoom for us remote workers. My manager has a Steam account that he used to host games via a website/app. We played a few games out of the myriad Jack Box Party Pack games (Drawful, some game where you need to write a lie and then pick the true fact out of the group, and another where you pick between two phrases that other players typed in that the game picked at random), and we wrapped everything up with a little Among Us on mobile. Definitely a fun time! Kinda sad that I missed out on the snacks and drinks available on-site, but I don't need to be ingesting that stuff anyway. XD

@ThanosReXXX I get Friday (Christmas) off. Then I get next Friday (New Years Day) off as well. Past that and the usual weekends off, that's about it lol. I'd have to file for additional days, which I could do. Thing is, personal time carries over, and I want to conserve some of my vacation days for the long spring dragfest.

@Heavyarms55 I got out to see the two planets on Monday evening since the weather cooperated. Definitely a nice sight! I like celestial events and try to view them if the timing isn't too inconvenient.

Yep, Ford unfortunately stopped making normal cars. Which is a shame. I can see the uses of SUVs and trucks in some situations, but things like expensive sports cars? No thanks. What's the point of owning something if you're only going to drive it a few times a year and baby it the rest of the time? Vehicles are meant to be used!

I did gift backs in PoGo and caught a few Pokemon today, but I didn't play past that. Not much of a desire to play today. I did get out to walk for a few minutes, but not far; I have to walk quite a ways to get to the closest Pokestop.

@Tyranexx Yeah all I did was log in for a minute to check if my Pokemon was knocked out of a gym today. I'll probably log on once more and check gifts but I didn't play much myself.

My friend bought my Halo MCC today, and also Star Wars: Empire at War Expanded just got a massive update. AND I had all my weekly anime to watch too. So I'd got more entertaining things to choose from today lol.

It's dangerous to go alone!
Take this.

@ogo79 @Anti-Matter Why

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
Taylor Swift + PPAP = 🤣🤣🤣

It's dangerous to go alone.

Good luck.

@ThanosReXXX
That's the same reason that I use emoji's as well, it definitely helps with conveying tones.
I've seen people use the NLife emoji's, I just didn't know how they worked (until now). I wish that Nintendo Life had an emoji "tray" (or whatever it's called), like Discord, and other website chat "boxes", have. The emoji's that you posted look very similar (if not exactly the same) to the emoji's on Discord. 🤔

Anyone here, or @Eel @ThanosREXXX @Heavyarms55

Has anybody ever gotten an email from Instagram saying:

Subject: (user name), We've made it easy to get back on Instagram

Hi (user name),

It seems like you're having trouble logging into Instagram. We can help you get back into your account.

I wasn't using my IG, or struggling to log in when I recieved these IG emails. Just wondering if anyone else knows if this means someone is trying to hack your IG. My password is strong af, and I turned on two step verification, to be safe.

Well, I don't use Instagram but I have had the odd email like that from other places & went for changing my password, to be on the safe side, @WoomyNNYes ....
