@Kermit1 I'm just a bit jealous.

@Kermit1
Thanks, I won’t be able to start until I graduate in the spring. By then I will have a bit more free time on my hands.

@Kermit1 A what now? Aoki is a common Japanese first name and Tanaka is a common Japanese last name. I just combined the two.

@Kermit1 Also,I plan on calling myself Ai Takahashi.

When I saw Vtuber became a trend for some peoples especially from Japan, I was thinking what is wrong with humanity today.
To see some peoples decided to disguise their identity as virtual peoples with artificial voices and virtual identity, I was thinking they were really anti social peoples with some serious symptoms like Hikikomori (stay at home, isolated from social life).
Probably they really scared to face with real peoples due to lack of social skills or too indulge in virtual world like movies or video games and they couldn't separate between reality and virtual life.
They need to fix their behavior. It will not hurt their feelings to show up in front of peoples just the way they are with real looking, real interaction, real life.
Confidence and Courage can be developed, they need to open their heart and trust to other peoples if they are can be liked.
I personally prefer real peoples as Youtuber with their unique personality rather than Vtuber which sounds very artificial for me.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Why? Do you like tsunderes?

@TeaCatherine Huh? What does the name Ai Takahashi have to do with tsunderes?

Btw, say cheese with my look in Animal Crossing New Horizons as gym teacher.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko The name Takahashi is the surname of a well known Manga author known for her works having a lot of tsunderes in.

@TeaCatherine Yeah, I stolethe name from Rie Takahashi, my favorite voice actor. It's a common name. Also, yes, I like tsunderes.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Just looked at her Wikipedia page and she's voiced hardly anyone I've heard of. One of my sisters is a massive fan of a voice actress called Megumi Ogata.

@TeaCatherine I cannot help but feel that you may have spelt that incorrectly.

@Scooby-Doo I have literally no clue what happened there???

@TeaCatherine The / button is right next to the shift button.

@Sunsy The controls in the Prime games do take a little getting used to, but it didn't take very long for them to click with me either. At least not using the Wii controls. Can't speak for the first two on the GameCube since I've only played the lot through Metroid Prime Trilogy. Then again, I never picked up conventional FPS games lol.

@MarioLover92 I also prefer drawing, though paint can be fun to mess with despite the...mess lol. We used different ways to create art in that class, ranging from more conventional materials like pencils and paintbrushes to charcoal and random objects to use as stamps. For smaller figures and art, an acquaintance actually used a magnifying glass to zero in on some of the finer details. He used one to draw a tiny background Spider-Man in a Marvel scene he was working on.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Honestly, I'd forgotten Time Extension was a thing until I used the main/default NL page view. I normally use the Timeline view as I prefer the layout, but I don't believe TE content is featured on it. The Timeline page also seems to miss an article once in awhile too.

@Tyranexx Ah yeah for sure, painting has its advantages as well, and you could make some great looking pieces with oil paints. There was an illustration class that I took that dealt with paints and oil, too, for the last part of projects. I think I'm better at drawing than I am at painting in general, I think my paint strokes could use some improvement.

That's actually a really good idea, if only I thought of using a magnifying class for smaller figures! I have a lot of smaller Mario figures sitting on my shelf, such as one of my Mario Kart figures. Is there a particular kind of magnifying glass that I should go for?

Also, I don't know if you've seen my earlier post from today, but Nintendo sent me a really nice picture with Mario and his pals, in honor of my birthday coming in a week. How sweet of them! <3 I might sound a bit sappy... but it made me quite happy and it seriously made my day. And it's not even my birthday yet!

@MarioLover92 I definitely can't paint with a trained or fine hand - not easily anyway, but it's something I do enjoy. Just as long as I don't end up wearing too much of it.

On the magnifying glass: I could ask next time I see them, but I don't think it was any sort of special magnifying glass. I just recall that it was smaller to be easier to cart around. Though I'd say anything that allows you to zero in on an object that you like will work!

I missed that post unfortunately, but your post history on your profile made it very easy to find. XD It's a pretty nice piece of Mario art! One week away already? Shame Nintendo doesn't really do any sort of discounts for birthday recipients anymore....At least they didn't when my birthday rolled around last fall. Just some free stuff I could print off. All the same, an email is better than nothing.

@MarioLover92 Awesome e-mail!

Indeed, I feel the same way too. It just annoys me since I have zero interest. If the whole point of ads is to make money, why not sell me something I would buy, like a game or something like that, lol.

If Mario Kart Double Dash had a remake, I can picture it being put to use via the online service. It was so cool to be one of the few games on GameCube to have that LAN feature. I never tried it myself, but I think there was a YouTube video demonstrating it. If GameCube were to come to Switch Online, I think it would be the usual "simulate split screen over the Internet" thing it usually does.

Same, I had my Switch since 2018, and it still works perfectly fine. The few games I can't play on Switch, I can always play on PC. It feels like a full console lifespan at this point, so I could imagine a new system comes along. I sometimes talk about this with my IRL friend, personally, I think it might have more to do with the Wii U. If they make a "new Switch," would people confuse it as a Switch add-on? shrugs

Wow. If anything, these rumors would make for some ridiculous ways to play the game. I remember some of the steps you had to do to unlock Luigi in Super Mario 64. XD You had to play levels a certain way, then go into the mirror room, ground pound certain posts, and then punch the mirror, and Luigi would appear, lol. Meanwhile, I use to go into the courtyard and try to get to the front of the castle. Ah silly me as a kid, not knowing the front of the castle and the courtyard were not actually connected, lol.

@Tyranexx IIRC, the original Metroid Prime controls played like classic Doom. The joystick moved forward and turned left and right, and you had to hold down L (remembering off the top of my head), and stand still to look around and aim up and down. Most first person games uses left joystick to move forward, back, and strafe, and right was used to look around and aim.

I'm guessing Metroid Prime played more like a Wii FPS game, joystick to move, Wii remote to aim and shoot. Never tried the Wii version, I have the GameCube one.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I'm fine, I'm still new to social media and I need to remember not to post things when overtired or while drinking caffeine.

Also, I will not be getting Discord or collab-ing for the next long while.

I went up to my room pretty late tonight. As I walked in, my brother randomly sat up, walked over to my bed and patted it three times. I asked him what he was doing, to which he replied “ painting.
After about five seconds I asked what he was talking about, and he said “ gosh darn it, I’m just trying to fight some panda’s in strollers.” He then proceeded to go back to bed in ten seconds.

I’ve heard some interesting things he has said while sleep talking, but this may be the best one yet.
