Got back from replaying Sonic Mania. I thought it'd be the best game to play through for Sonic's 30th, since most of the game is based on classic Sonic zones! I ended up getting all the Chaos Emeralds on my first try too, which was sweet.

@Sunsy I can so imagine Sonic saying "yeah!" lol. Glad you liked the Sonic Symphony!

@SM3DASislit I only played a couple Monkey Ball games. Besides Super Monkey Ball 2, I also played that one Monkey Ball game from Sega Superstars, which was that EyeToy game. I didn't like it that much though, only because I didn't like the motion controls.

I kinda agree with that Disney comment you made too - I have more of an attachment to the Disney Renaissance movies since they came out during my generation. I think I've seen more Renaissance films than the older ones. lol

@Tyranexx Yeah, my cat is quite attached to me. I'd say he does, he likes to chill out more than playing, for example. He does tend to hide when we have company over though. I guess you could say he's a bit of a scaredy-cat, lol.

@Anti-Matter
i seen a double rainbow a couple years ago, dont think ive ever seen that before

please let me know if you come across anything...lets say...boney...its crap, sell it to me, you totally dont want to keep it...

that means a lot to me, i wasnt going to say much about this, but my dad just passed away on the 9th, its been super hard on me, and i too get collecting from my dad, he made and collected knives, it wasnt my thing but nevertheless, i assume i get that knack of collecting from him, its what keeps people going. i appreciate the response, life is funny that way sometimes

@ogo79 I am sorry to hear that. My father passed a few years ago. It's a difficult thing.

But yeah, collecting stuff is an interesting hobby because despite having different interests collectors generally can still relate and share stories. I think that, no matter your area of interest, those moments when you find something you really like, or get a great deal or find that one special item you've spent so long hunting are aways a good time.

No matter if you're into knives, video games, old toys, model cars or anime figurines. Whatever flavor suits you. 😋

@ogo79 hey man, really sorry to hear about your dad. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

I've seen some reviews of the Final Fantasy Origins, @Tyranexx .... They're all pretty good, actually! You know I think they will announce FF Pixelated Series/ Collection for Switch sooner or later, too

@ogo79 I’m so sorry to hear about that. I hope your father can live on through your collecting, because from what I’ve seen you’re pretty damn good at it.

@ogo79
Oh, sorry to hear about your father.
Keep pursuing your hobby.

@ogo79 man that is hard! "Made and collect knives" your father was awesome! I only have 2 knives collected but I do not have space for more! I love weapons!

Keep collecting and keep the memory of him alive that way

@Zuljaras Want tot get into collecting them some day, Some have really cool design's.

@ogo79 I'm sorry to hear about your father, but you seem'd to take on his many amazing traits.Your dad raised a great human being.

i will, and my dad had way too many swords/knives/spears/weapons for one man to handle. lol

and you do the same as well, yer the best artist ever.

that truly means a lot to me man, thank you. for real. im gonna get it, no matter what it takes and so far nothings holding me back, im stubborn just like my dad.

i appreciate that, ive been on this site for like 11 years and never met a stranger. going through things in life and im still here

i had a feeling yer father passed away from the last post you made, ill continue to do my ogo thing up in here, as i have been for over 10 years. yer thoughtful posts makes me feel that much better. and you keep collecting as well!

@ogo79 that skeleton on your profile pic is from Golden Axe? Also do you have it on a figure?

I need its sprite for a nice reason

you guys are making me fell crazy lol
when my dad was passing, i called my mom, as they were divorced, and she told me to tell my dad as he was passing that "i am glad we created our son"

i cant find any white/red/purple animated gifs that fit on here myself

@ogo79 no. A pixel white skeleton with sword and shield.

ah...anything to try and help out a fellow skelly lover
heres a corndog just because

@ogo79 If you want I will try and make this exact skeleton into a sculpture.

That is why I am asking if you already have it in some form.

@SM3DASislit @Sunsy Movie talk! I watched Raya and the Last Dragon yesterday, off the back of Luca. I was worried that it wouldn't live up to Luca but I was wrong, it did. Even if the general consensus in my family was that Luca was a better film overall. Raya (voiced by Kelly Marie Tran) as a character feel very familiar, but very new at the same time. She's a much better example of Asian representation than Mulan (live-action), that's for sure. She has physical strength, like MMA skills and sword skills, but has a lot of quirks that make her likeable. And of course the key flaw every Disney hero/ine has; for Raya it's a lack of trust.

I... really like Sisu (voiced by Awkwafina). I didn't know (better word; remember) what Awkwafina sounded like despite having watched Crazy Rich Asians, a movie she's in, but I was expecting a very high, irritating voice. But Sisu's... very funny. She's a pain in the backside when she wants to be but she can be serious and have some good character-building moments when she wants to. Her design is also... so elegant. Which reminds me... the animation... it's reaching the pinnacle. The lighting, the fur texture, the water, the fog... Jesus Christ.

@SM3DASislit Well that explains a bit. Movies is a subject that brings people together, so this is a very engaging discussion. You'd waste your time finding someone here who truly doesn't like the talk.

@Sunsy I was thinking like that when I realised what the two were going to do. I do feel like the town accepted Luca and Alberto's identities too quickly, the pacing of the movie in general was ebbing and flowing. From the moment I began appreciating Luca and Guilia's friendship I also began dreading the moment he revealed his sea monster-ness. She took it shockingly well. There was no breakup or emotional outburst... and I'm glad their connection was that strong.

@ThanosReXXX Well seeing the passion bleed across distances means it's very strong indeed! With me the systems I have such memories on are much more focused, so I associate each console (DS, Wii, Wii U, Switch) with more strong memories. This is truly the best Nintendo's been though. Wii had a lot of games but Switch ones... they run well, and you know the value's solid. Just port over some bits and bobs here and there and... no need for the Wii/Wii U. It's that easy!

@TheJGG
I prefer Mulan animated version (1998) than the live action version (2020) as Mulan in animated version was a normal girl without super power but she had a brain and courage to kick butt the Hun clans while in live action version, she has the power that made her looks like invincible. Not attractive in my opinion.
Also, Mulan in animated version has an androgyny face that perfect to disguise as a male warrior.
Additional thing, the matchmaker scene in animated version looked funnier than the live action version.

@Anti-Matter Yeah, I do as well. Live-action Mulan was not an example of strength. She was just a super powerful person with magic powers. That doesn't mean anything when looking for inspiration. The animated Mulan was a nobody, until she saved China through sheer determination alone.

I feel like the bathing scene in the live-action remake is realistic, and so fits in the film. Maybe it could have worked in the original too.
