While I do like the OLED screen more, I can only really tell the difference when I compare it directly to the normal switch. But the bigger screen is great at least. Honestly I think games on the tv are the way to go.

@Kermit1
Here, don't get too scared by little trivial things.
Anxiety could drive peoples into irrational quick decision.
You need to calm down first.

Almost had a heart attack there while checking Twitter: apparently 2 idiots from an activist group stormed into National Gallery in Britain, started spurting out speeches and then proceeded to not only glue themselves to the wall but also right beforehand threw tomato soup.....at SUNFLOWERS. You know: BY VINCENT VAN GOGH?!

It's fair to say I was very relieved when it came out there was no actual damage to the painting (thank god for reinforced glass) but still: I don't give care about what the organisation their from is about, YOU DON'T TRY TO DEFACE ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ART PIECES OF THE LAST CENTURY.

Can you tell I like to do art?

Just to be pedantic, there is a few Van Gogh Sunflowers as he did two lots of series of them. I always preferred Cafe Terrace and Starry Night myself.

To be honest I’ve seen more respect from the protesters who know there would be no damage to the picture and choose to attack it as they see it’s iconic value rather than some of the people who see it and then start rubbing the glass. I’m always in two minds if I should call them out or not when people do things like that.

Personally I would have like them to attack Damien Hirst instead, not his work just his face.

@Fizza
You mean throwing tomato soup at a painting won’t save the planet!

@Rambler Starry Night (I got to walk in it)

6 more days till my final form

@Fizza I had a heart attack reading this, I thought something did get damaged, such art, needs to be preserved, and if that preservation was ruined by two idiots, man, I would not be happy lol.

Very tough decision, both are very iconic and historically significant paintings. I've been obssessed with Japanese culture as of late so I'm going to go with Kanagawa for now but rest assured: both of these could change with the drop of a hat.

Was there glass in front of the painting? I've seen the video and I can't tell if there is or not.

What they are doing is not going to stop oil, throwing soup at a (idk how old it is) painting is not going to change anything except make you look like an idiot.

Having a crested gecko is fun and really cool, but once a week I have random panic attacks about it not getting enough food or something like that. The gecko is fine, but I can’t stop worrying about it. ( as you can probably tell, I am having one of those panic attacks right now)

@blindsquarel ask your crested gecko if hes had enough food.

@Kermit1
Too hard to get him to stay still.

Being serious, he eats enough food( they don’t eat much fully grown and he’s only about 4 months old). I just worry to much about things.

@Eagly
Yeah, I know the mine can live 15-20.

@blindsquarel 15-20!!! That's longer than most cats.

@Kermit1
Hey, at least it’s not a red eared slider. They can live for around fifty years in captivity.
Moral of the story is that reptiles can live for a surprisingly long time.

@blindsquarel... I can only live 10-12 in frog years...

@Kermit1
Was your avatar keep rotating ?

@Sunsy Sounds like a good day that you've had, I'm thinking of getting some eShop credit as well. I still wanna get some Game Boy games from the eShop. I saw a video from Good Vibes Gaming about Donkey Kong Land, and that was the perfect reminder for me to get the DKL games downloaded on my 3DS. That's a cool cap you've got there. Also just curious, what kind of chocolate do you like having? Is it a candy bar, or something like that?

Yeah that's what I remember as well. I remember that the Smash Ultimate direct mentioned that, where its online would be distance based. I'd imagine that most of the other games work like that, too.

Ohhh, I see, thanks for showing me. I had no clue that was a thing, though I hardly ever do voice chat. The only time I've really done that was when I was talking to a friend of mine in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, when we were playing online. Speaking of which, it's been some time since I played New Horizons... I should get more time into Happy Home Paradise. I can't wait to see how many weeds have grown on my island. lol

I love Super Mario 3D World as well. We could hit each other up on Discord when we wanna play. Wonder if we're gonna go for all the green stars and stamps!

I used to have Sonic OVA on VHS as well, though I no longer have it, unfortunately. I don't know where it ended up. Most of the Sonic stuff I have consists of games, though I have a Sonic amiibo and everything from the Sonic Mania collector's edition. I also have a history of Sonic book from around 2013.

@Tyranexx Oh that's a really neat touch. There's that Mario edition GBC, though I didn't know about it until much, much later. Kinda wish I had it! I've been kind of in a Game Boy mood lately, since I've been playing stuff like Wario Land 2 and 3, and I wanna get the Donkey Kong Land games from the eShop. Granted, I've been playing them on my 3DS, but I say it still counts, lol. Yeah, way more people had the original Wii Sports, and I've had fond memories with it. I'd say my favorite ones were tennis, bowling, and golf - I've been thinking of playing that one for nostalgia's sake as well.

@Fizza Glad to hear the painting's OK at least, but yeah, I agree with you... if it was my piece getting messed with, I would not be happy. I've always liked art as well, and I've even been to an art museum for a painting class one time.

@Anti-Matter It's rotating like a clock counting down to my final form (aka my halloween costume)
