Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Sunsy I'm good, currently doing schoolwork while drinking coffee and procrastinating.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Good to hear, sounds like you're keeping yourself busy with the schoolwork at least.

@Sunsy I suppose you could say that. I'm really just procrastinating waiting for something fun to happen. The school program doesn't have a Japanese class, but they said they did, and I'm still mad about that.

@Kermit1 Hello. What're you doing?

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Sorry to hear they didn't have a Japanese class and lied to you. Alrighty, hope something fun happens soon.

Ever since I joined this site it seems it has been going downhill. I don't wanna say it's me that did it but I can't help but think that I might have something to do with it even though I've done nothing at all.

Besides this site I don't exist on the "internet" and I have no friends, laugh all you want but this site is what is keeping me from having a mental breakdown.

@Kermit1 I am not all that active on here, but if this site helped you, then by all means i hope you continue to enjoy your time on here. Personally i don't think it is going downhill. I mean, i am mostly just watching and don't really feel like i can add a lot to the discussions but every now and then people are leaving. Still people are usually quite friendly and helpful if you, sometimes everyone has a bad day, but altogether i think its still pretty nice here

@Kermit1 You definitely did nothing wrong. You're one of the most positive additions to this community since I started hanging out here. I think it's just a lot more toxic people here coming to light. It's best to just ignore them and continue on conversations with actual nice people.

@Kermit1 Don't start saying that! You've been one of the most positive, well-meaning users I've ever seen around here who can light up any thread you're a part of. The last thing you need is to be worrying about what random people on the internet say!

I do understand your concerns though and, if you feel like it's absolutely necessary, don't be afraid to take some time off to stop and smell the roses. Then come back whenever you feel ready. Its a tactic I've used in the past that's worked well for me so if you ever feel overwhelmed, try that

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko
Online school is amazing. The only problem is how easy It is to wait until the last minute to do things.

@Kermit1
I do agree that the site has went downhill, but not because of any users on here. Mostly it is due to the amount of clickbait articles that are posted. I enjoy my interactions with nearly every user on here.( except one, but that is not relevant.) but you are one of the better ones.

@Eagly Interesting how the website was broken. I thought language would be taught in class or over a video with pronunciation and that sort of thing.

@Kermit1 They warned us about the comments section. Joke aside, I wouldn't know what's going on, I can only assume the comments section, since they do get bad at times, especially when there's controversal (I'm assuming the Bayonetta news). Usually the forums are better, I think I only had to add two people to the ignore list during my time here. Personally, I don't comment much in the comments section, usually if I have something useful to say or contribute.

Personally, these forums are better than other gaming forums I've been too. I feel like I can be myself here. On another gaming forum I went to, I got an age insult for liking "kids" cartoons (BTW Nintendo Lifers, thanks for not making fun of me over liking Trolls). Also, it was hard to talk about games without the "what you like is bad, go look at the reviews" type of people. Funnily enough, it's usually the people who never bother trying the game first hand who did this

BTW, you're awesome @Kermit1. You're fun to chat with, one of the nicest guys actually. Also, ngl, I'm awaiting the final form. Think of it this way too, there are some bad people out there online, yet we're here worried about you when you lost power. I don't think many online communities are like that.

@Fizza BTW, just letting you know, I started watching The Owl House after seeing your post.

@Sunsy Great news! How are you liking it so far? I just finished the 1st season a few days ago (I binged it all within the span of 2 days, I was OBSESSED) and really enjoyed it myself, though I'm probably going to take a break for a bit before starting Season 2 and the specials.

Oh and just a word of warning: if you can, mute 'TOH', 'The Owl House' and/or 'Owl House' on sites like Twitter. People are apparently losing their minds over this recent special and posting spoilers like nobody's business.

Fwiw, in the time i've been visiting the site(both as lurker and registered user) i've always read "this site's going downhill...". I've never seen a post saying "things are generally getting better". To me, the toxicity in social interactions has gotten worse both online and off all around in the last, ohletsay, five or six years. Nintendolife if anything has been mostly positive for me, save for articles that attract strong opinions. But thats just been my experience.

@Kermit1 I love the beatles 👍 i was just listening to 'Two of Us'

@Fizza So far I love it. I posted some thoughts in the TV thread, but I'll go into it more. (note: actual Owl House season 1 spoilers, in event someone wants to watch) Firstly Luz is kind of relatable. I love how she's really into fantasy more than reality, which feels a bit like me. I find comfort in stuff like Trolls and Smurfs more than stories based on realistic scenarios, similar to how Luz is with her favorite book series. The characters are great so far, Amity is giving me tsundere vibes, and I'm liking her development so far. Even how Eda described how that "meaningless crown" made King happy felt relatable, in a "yeah it's silly, but it makes him happy" kind of way.
The story itself is giving me anime vibes. Also, the end credits music sound so nostalgic, yet cozy and comforting.

Currently eight episodes in too, loving it so far.

Noted, though I did already watch it. While I'm not at that point, usually I'll wait, Disney actually posted it to their YouTube channel. Decided to watch since Disney usually keeps full episodes up for a short time on their YouTube channels (example, an episode of Sofia the First was up for two weeks on their Disney Junior channel). Not going to spoil it though, I respect spoilers. I always love it when full episodes get posted to YouTube officially, it makes me want to watch it and thumbs up it to encourage it more.

Try being a Trolls fan, Trolls Holiday In Harmony was spoiled the second it was over. Feel bad for the fans who had to wait an hour to watch it in their timezone, or waiting for the DVD or Hulu release.

While I avoid talking about most controversial news here, this is usually what I notice if I peak at the comments.

@Kermit1 Idk man I think users like you make the community here better! There might be a few grumpy people from time to time but I've always thought that the cool users out number the grumpy ones on this site.

Bro, like, my school will let you turn in empty assignments, all it does is says "You haven't answered all the questions yet" but still let you turn it in if you click comfirm. Like, I'm in 7th grade, but I feel I'm smarter than my teachers tech-wise. Also, everyone, I'm sorry for being offline a while, my mom took me to the library.

@Vortexeo It wasn't on this site, but one time some random kid insulted my friend for still playing stuff like Animal Crossing even though he was older. It's honestly really sad how mean people can be over the stupidest stuff. And if I wanna watch Spongebob, I will do as I please. People should let people enjoy what they enjoy and quit trying to shape them into who they want them to be.

Man, I got a science project do today, I hate science. Like, I'm not gonna be a doctor, I wanna be a translator, a tech guy, and a garbage man all at the same time, neither of which require knowing science. Like, they're all simple jobs (For me anyways) and with three jobs, I could get a stupid amount of money, that way I'm not gonna be living paycheck to paycheck.
