@Eel No matter how you beat the game I will change my pfp. lol

So, are hurricanes commen over there, @Eel? I see one in your region.

Ironically, in eastern US, it's extremely rare we haven't had a hurricane in August track into eastern/southern US. Hurricane season here is August to mid-October, I think.

@WoomyNNYes yeah there’s currently one going through here. It’s been pretty mild though so everything is ok.

Meanwhile, on planet Jupiter...

@Tyranexx Yes I did mean the original animated one. Ah all righty then, think I'll give that a watch anyway, I do like forming my own thoughts on what I think. Not to mention that I've always loved how classic Disney movies look. Maleficent sounds like a good watch as well.

Yeah, I really only picked which FPSs interest me the most, such as the Halo series since I've always liked sci-fi settings. I definitely like Splatoon, and I actually want to get Splatoon 3 at some point - I was pretty skeptical on the game when it was first announced last year, but after learning more about the game and playing the Splatfest, I'm quite a bit more hyped for it now. Yeah, I would have liked to take more computer classes in HS, it wasn't until college that I took more of them. Little did I know that I would have a real hard time with programming - I did decent in my programming courses, at least.

@Eel Good to hear things are all right for you now. Do stay safe.

My condolences to all our friends from the UK who loved Queen Elizabeth II.

All my life my Queen was Queen Elizabeth II. Same with my parents. And their parents. Her reign was incredible and she dealt with the responsibility with dignity, every day. And now she’s gone. Just like that.

It’s a strange feeling.

Oh wow that is certainly a shock to hear! She’s been like, a constant element of culture for so long… That it became easy to forget she was indeed a person.

My condolences.

I'm in the exact same situation as @TheJGG myself. To see such a constant fixture of British (and pretty much the rest of the world) life suddenly just gone like that leaves me in such a bizarre feeling where I just....don't know what to say. One of Britain's best Queens ever and a presence that will be sorely missed for probably the rest of time.

So is Charles the King now? He is very old himself, hopefully he’ll be alright during the transition.

@Fizza In honesty the Queen’s death… it was always something we all had to gear up for in recent years… but still, when it actually comes we still don’t feel ready. It still doesn’t feel real. Maybe it’ll sink in soon. It’s going to be a strange feeling.

But it’s not all bad. We were graced with such a great figure who took such responsibility and rose to the challenges admirably. With any luck the dignity, kindness and humility the Queen had will live on in us all.

I just saw the Queen past away, I'm watching CBC now.

I'm going to miss her.

@Eel Charles is indeed King now but the announcement won't be till Friday after a day of mourning.

We will miss her iconic appearance on Mr Bean animated series.

My condolences.

I saw the top post on Reddit saying she was in ill health and when I clicked it, I was in shock for a second seeing only a few minutes ago she had passed away. I ran to tell my Mom and she turned the channel to CBC.

Charles III?
Thought he was gonna have a different Reginal name?

Can't say I'm personally sad or affected, but it is quite odd. She has always been there.

We'll need to see how long the Royal Family lasts after this.

Curiously enough, my introduction to the concept of Queen Elizabeth and real life royalty existing was Mr. Beans original series, where he meets (and headbutts) her.

Man, I figured the day would come at pretty much any point. Crazy to see it actually happen, though.
