@EaglyTheKawaiiShika you puked

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika neat

I'm gonna leave the forums for a bit (I said this yesterday but things changed) my internet is being bizarre right now.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I didn't mind the Hans twist as a concept, but IMO the execution could've been better. A lot better.

On the new Puss In Boots film: People are welcome to their opinions, though clearly most critics disagree with the naysayers in this case. Some of those reviews are fairly entertaining. Apparently people forget that "PG" means "Parental Guidance", which means it's considered suitable for kids but at the parent/guardian's discretion. People could easily leave the theater if they're that disturbed. Besides, ratings have actually become more strict in my experience.

I still hope to work the movie in, though the new Avatar movie is my higher priority. Now I just need to find three hours of spare time to slot in to watch the first film. It's been awhile.

@MarioLover92 Glad to hear! Sounds like you're getting plenty of family time in already. My 2023 is okay so far - getting slammed at work now that all the holiday madness is over.

I've now made it a goal for this year: to assemble a PC provided nothing major occurs financially before I make up my mind on components. My current laptop still functions fine, but it's starting to get up there in age and isn't really built for high-end gaming or development. I want to play around with Blender and Unity 3D. It's been several years since I've done so lol.

I hope things are going well in the Splatfest for your team! I started Paper Mario: The Origami King last weekend and like it for the most part. Currently close to unraveling the second streamer. I also hit the 3DS eShop for possibly the final time earlier to secure a couple of purchases. Mole Mania is currently my side game.

@Sunsy I admit I've never heard of Rise of the Triad, though I'm familiar with the Wolfenstein franchise. Haven't played any of the games though. I appreciate you sharing that cover! It's a pretty good take on God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. I was just under the impression you watch a LOT of YouTube while multitasking. XD

I think I’m going to quit using Reddit. It’s fun to look at, but I’m much happier when I don’t use it.

Mh stories 2 is probably gonna end up on pc, I’m sure of it.

I use it once a month, and that is enough.

@Tyranexx Yeah, I like classic FPS games, and it's one of the ones that didn't make it to console (unlike Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake). Actually started out as a Wolfenstein sequel, but then Apogee lost the license and went nuts and made their own shooter with some crazy ideas (like a dog mode). I'm glad it's getting a remaster on PC and consoles. Did get a modern remake in 2013.

Glad you appreciate it, there's also a midi version that was in the original PC game and always played whenever you played the game on Christmas day. That one was from the 2013 remake, didn't hear it when I changed the date on my PC in that version.

Nope, just me falling asleep to either a fireplace, or train ride, or plane videos. Sometimes I will have it on when I'm using my PC and following a livestream.

@blindsquarel Worst subreddit I've been to, the DreamWorks one. They basically rip you a new one for simply being a Trolls fan. Hidden rule there, you're only allowed to like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How To Train Your Dragon, all of which are great movies, just Trolls is my favorite. So, I just left it without saying anything.

Phew...
I have entered 3rd year in Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town PS4.
Already got Brown Alpaca and I named her Wholahay (from ANTM cycle 8) 😆
I have finished two requests in a row (the jewels and the motirbike supply) and now I'm facing the hardest request ever, getting Alpaca Wool+ and Brown Alpaca Wool+.
They are nearly impossible to get items as I have been raised one Alpaca heart to level 10 with Happiness level 10 and yet I still never get Alpaca Wool+ when I sheared them. 😩
I read from walkthrough the only way to increase the chance of getting Plus products by breed the animals into higher number generation. It will take forever to get only one Alpaca Wool+ unless if I luckily get from the Sprites.

@Anti-Matter that sounds like a lot of work. Good luck with the wool!!!

@Sunsy
That was suck to get discrimination of not allowed to like The Trolls just because it is a franchise that appeal for girl audiences by most while the other DreamWorks franchises are more boyish franchises.
Are peoples also get bullied for liking other girlie franchises too over there ?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika lol PS5

@Kermit1
I have tried to breed my Alpaca until 3rd generation and yet the 1st gen Alpaca I got only gave me multiple of Alpaca wools but never gave me Alpaca Wool+. 😩
The other animals like my cows and goats oftenly gave me Milk+ products even they are only 1st gen animal.
I have three more Spirit Requests to finish:
1. Clemens Motorbike repair part 2 with Alpaca Wool+ & Brown Alpaca wool+
2. Rare crops part 1
3. Rare crops part 2

When these requests finished, I can play relax without pressure and I can get married since I have finished all the additional missions.

@Anti-Matter Nah, more or less it's the "it's for little kids" argument, or "Poppy is annoying." If you actually watch more than the first five minutes, you see Poppy has some heart and cares for others throughout the movie (and series since there's cartoons on Netflix and Peacock too).

Trolls spoilers (for some examples)...
In one scene, Poppy shows compassion to Branch, she sees the good in the bergens whereas the trolls see them as monsters, she helps Bridget (a bergen) overcome shyness, meet the king, and helped her experience happiness, and looks on the bright side of things. There's a good reason why I love this troll so much.

While they market Poppy often to girls, the other character Branch is a boy, so I'd say it's more of a general series. I also notice, they also hate Spirit Untamed and Boss Baby IIRC, I guess Spirit Untamed would be "girly" for lack of a better phrase, but Boss Baby is just for kids in general, again lack of a better way to describe it.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika There's my favorite troll, giving a high five to the DreamWorks kid. Also, really cool they gave us a bit of a new Shrek animation. Thanks for showing.

I do want to see Puss In Boots. Finally got around to seeing the first one last year. I'm guessing this logo will be used on Trolls 3 as well, though the stylized versions for both Trolls movies were fun.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika they would be crazy not to.

I use Reddit all the time, I love it! Wait, lurking doesn’t count?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika @Kermit1 @Sunsy
I think I’m at most just going to use it if I need help in a game. Although I will probably delete my account just so I’m not tempted to get on again.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Edumacation is easyn’t.

@Snatcher Actually, I usually peak at the Sonic subreddit. I will admit, smaller subreddits are better than bigger ones or ones with a cult-like following (like the aforementioned DreamWorks subreddit).

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika It's really cool, it touches on DreamWorks' past (Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and HTTYD) and present (Trolls, Boss Baby, The Bad Guys), it feels like a celebration. It can't include everything since they did make a lot of movies, still, it's a mix of both past and present successes.

Indeed, and that's how it should be. If you don't like a movie, that's fine, just don't be a jerk to those who do like it. They may have their reasons for liking said movie too. It shows how toxic fans can ruin something, and cause people to leave a community too.

@Sunsy
Oh, I knew about Spirit Untamed.
There was a video game of Spirit from DreamWorks on multi consoles by Outright Games. My planning is getting the PS4 version. I think you can check the Switch or Steam version of Spirit.
I really hope Outright Games will bring more kids games from DreamWorks or Nicklelodeon / Nickledeon Jr on multi consoles.
I heard there will be upcoming Transformers games by Outright Games again on this year.

Speaking about Puss in Boots, I think I will consider the game on PS3 version (published by THQ) just for curiosity since I became more open with certain Western cartoon / kids franchises.

It's dangerous to go alone !
Take this.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Oh I have noticed, been here long enough. FWIW, most in this community are pretty cool. Oh wow, here I still remember the 25th anniversary attached to Trolls World Tour. That 25th anniversary logo was a joy to see on the big screen, all the clips from all their movies. Reminds me of the Sega logo from the Sonic movies.

That's great, sounds like a nice idea getting them on 4k discs. I was impressed at all the details Trolls World Tour had when I saw it at that local theater event this past summer, this is coming from someone who rented the original release in HD too.

Indeed, I agree with that sentiment. Also, sometimes understanding a series can make it better. Example, someone may think Trolls is a happy movie with singing and dancing, understanding it, I can see the heart to it, the love put into making the craft-like world (that Art of Trolls book makes me appreciate the work more as well, all the behind the scenes stuff), the attempt to make a 2D cartoon that actually expands on it, while recalling events of the movie, of course the cute characters. It's all a joy to me. I'm really excited for Trolls 3, eagerly awaiting a trailer for it. They did reveal Poppy's new look at a Brazil comic convention Universal was at (confirmed, they posted the convention on their Brazil account), which is cool.

@Anti-Matter Yeah, many on that subreddit hated Spirit Untamed. I liked it when I saw it on Peacock, and I have my own copy. I'm thinking about getting that game one day.

I really hope they tap in more to DreamWorks. I use to enjoy a mobile Trolls game I can't play anymore. I would love a regular normal Trolls game on Switch or PC via Steam, honestly, I wouldn't having them on both, I recently bought My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure on PC just to have it there too, I love playing it on Switch. I think Outright Games can pull it off, they published a solid MLP adaptation.
