@Anti-Matter Oh boy, you really still don't understand, huh? You don't ALWAYS have to explain yourself into FAR too much detail about the how and why of what you do. You can't make all people like you or your art. Some people will like it, and some people won't, that's just the way it is. Far as I'm concerned, you're an okay guy, if a bit odd, but even though I objectively appreciate your skill, I just don't like your art, because I simply think that it's too much of the same thing over and over again. And the examples you've posted of your previous calendars prove the exact point I'm making. I see little to no difference between them.
But that's not something for you to be surprised or upset about. We simply all like different things, as most humans do. We have different tastes and likes, and that is perfectly fine. Otherwise, the world would be a VERY boring, samey place.
Just think of it this way: at least we're all here because we share one rather entertaining hobby, and that's gaming. Always look at the things that ARE possible, not at things that aren't. That only brings more negativity.
Anyways, moving on...
@Tyranexx Yeah, I can imagine with the far harsher winter and snow periods over there, that a hot cocoa could definitely be well appreciated, so good choice. In most cases, we don't really have to shuffle snow over here, but I still drink the odd cup of it anyways...
@ogo79 I'd never thought I'd find myself in a position where I'd have to come to a conclusion that your posts/pictures look more friendly and tasteful than any other person's...
@HotGoomba___Rebrand Normally, I'd say well played, if you're able to best ogo79's effort, but currently, I'm a bit too grossed out by the picture you posted. I don't know why, but it makes me think of green eggs...
@ThanosReXXX Funko Pops is probably the closest comparison I could make as well
Doing art for the likes is a no go. It is good for art to be liked but doing it for the attention is a bad habit.
@Zuljaras Couldn't agree more if I wanted to. It's always nice if people appreciate what you've created, but in most if not all cases I couldn't care less if people don't like it at all. I'll survive either way and the people that don't like it, simply have bad taste, that's all...
@HotGoomba___Rebrand It all started with a quip I made on Mulan combined with ogo79 making a comment on burgers. I love this thread.
@theJGG Haha, no that's not right, my friend. Long time residents of the Chit-Chat thread know that it either always starts with pizza or pineapple, and it also ends with it. They are the alpha and omega of the Chit-Chat thread.
But you're forgiven, because you're still relatively new to this haven of tranquility within the halls of NLife...
@SM3DASislit Ah, don't worry about it. Blame it on having to interpret other people's words without tone of voice and facial expressions...
I always think I'm crystal clear, but then I sometimes see the reactions to my comments, and I have to take a step back, reread what I've posted, and come to the conclusion that I may not have been as clear as I initially thought I was.
@Snatcher From now on, I will definitely expect nothing less than perfectly executed spoiler tags from you...
@Snatcher Going on? What do you mean?
If it's about the calendar and his six-pack chibi characters, it's just that I don't like them and he's always trying WAY too hard to explain himself or to try and make people like or appreciate him, and sometimes, tastes just differ, that's all.

@ThanosReXXX Ya I have a friend I showed there art to and they said they didn't like how they do the same pose and the same chibi character they also said they all almost look the same, I was like ouch, I do agree he does try a little to hard(BTW my friend is also a artist)
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@Snatcher Well, there you go. My point exactly. And as mentioned, people should (normally) be okay with not all people liking their art. That's just people and their personal tastes, and that's perfectly fine.

@ThanosReXXX Eh, two months is enough time! But where's the beta and gamma of this thread? The beta's Anti-Matter's chibi calendars and the gamma is movie reviews.

Have you read The Giver, by Lois Lowry? If you haven't I'll explain the idea of sameness that it conveys. It's a haunting novel that really makes you question a lot of humanity's values.
Seeing Frozen 1 and 2 mentioned, I personally liked both movies. Will say, "Lost in the Woods" is one of my favorite songs from the movie, that power ballad Kristoff sang. Like @MarioLover92, Anna is also my favorite in the movies.
Also, really looking forward to Super Mario 3D World. I have it digitally on Wii U (was snowed in on a Mario Day wanting a new Mario game to play), so I'm looking forward to having a physical copy of it.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@Sunsy "For the First Time in Forever" never fails to put a massive smile on my face, the whole routine, from Anna's naive dreams of true love, to her sheltered life inside the castle, to her and Elsa's small duet near the end, is amazing. "For the first time in forever / don't let them in, don't let them see," et cetera, is really good. And "Lost in the Woods" made me cry in the cinema, because of how emotional it was. Kristoff's character was somewhat betrayed in the second film, because of the whole "propose to Anna but keep getting blocked" stereotype. This felt like a nice quasi-redemption. Actually, five songs made me cry during Frozen II, including "Show Yourself", "Some Things Never Change", and "The Next Right Thing,".
When i checked the screenshots from my New 3DS XL yesterday, i found some funny pictures that i took the pictures long time ago.
These are what i found.
@Zuljaras It's okay. I won't judge. I like Disney movies as well.
@Sunsy Oh that's cool, I'm looking forward to it as well. I could see myself double-dipping, especially since they've got brand new content and some subtle changes for it. I've done the same thing with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, after all. lol
@Anti-Matter Yeah probably, some of the songs in the first Frozen really stuck to me. But I enjoyed Frozen 2's songs as well.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@Zuljaras ah! Which one? The Air 4? I quite like mine, it’s so much bigger than my old iPad mini, but I’m getting used to it already.
I did get a pencil to draw with even though I’m not quite the artistic type, but I’m sure you’ll manage to do really cool stuff with it.
If you end up getting one of these magnetic back cases be careful with it, they do detach when you least expect it. Mine slid off its case earlier today. Truly scared me.
@Zuljaras yeah sounds like a good plan. I’ll probably switch to some sort of heavy duty bumper case as soon as they start selling those for this model...
@Eel You mean official made by Apple cases? Because 3rd party cases are available now and many of them look secure. And best of all they are not with the Apple logo that adds 100+ $ on top of it
@Zuljaras I haven’t checked Amazon in a bit. I basically happened to get mine when the thing was just a few weeks old, so there were like, no options.
Ah by the way, you probably have three months of free Apple Arcade, or at least mine came with that promotion... It’s worth checking out! Just remember to cancel it before it renews itself. It’s of the “you lose access as soon as you cancel” kinda subscription...
@Eel I got notification but I am really not interested. I will be using it for drawing/painting only and it will be awesome! I just need the damn pencil as the place I got it did not have it in stock.
