Walking Wake could eat me in one bite if it weren't in my Ultra Ball.

@Sunsy Alice taught me about the phrase "itadakimasu", which according to Google means "I humbly accept" before every meal. Along with mochi, which I got a couple boxes of from Target's grocery freezer section.

You gotta fight for your hopes and dreams with all your might

except if its about being loved, in which case giving up right away is just a superior choice that leaves no sunk costs

I think my dad purposely didn’t fuel one of our trucks up so that me and my brother wouldn’t be there for school. Now we get to go help him deal with a cow for thirty minutes instead of going. Not that I’m complaining.

@ComfyAko
Technically giving up right away would leave no sink costs in most situations.

@blindsquarel That would be technically true given that the dream we give up on is left unfulfilled. However, we don't know the outcome until we try. Therefore, even if ex post we will have known it was a sunk cost, ex ante trying is always better, since we won't know the outcome until we spend the potential currency (time/money).

Notable exception - dream has 0% chance of being fulfilled, ex. going to live on Jupiter, being loved or accepted by your other people, getting rich through legal ways.

@ComfyAko
Yeah you need to follow your dreams. Otherwise what is life worth living.

Which means I am now going to prove you and everyone else on this cruel world wrong, by living out the rest of my days on Jupiter.

@blindsquarel Then I'll try to get rich legally.

Nobody out here is mad enough to take on the 3rd challenge.

@ComfyAko
I don’t need to be accepted on Jupiter.

@Kermit1 Why would you make Yoda, of all things? Take this seriously, mess around and make a VTuber model.

@Eagly not even close to being a monster

Almond milk and Taco Bell’s bean/rice burrito are the closest I’ll get to being vegan. At least until I find a vegan-based egg and cheese substitutes for my breakfast sandwiches that I make.

@JadeKitsune just eat whatever, you'll still be vegan like 23 hours per day

@ComfyAko I won't eat plants though.

@JadeKitsune Beans are a plant though

@Eagly Forgor to reply to our serious gaming thread

I really hope so as well. We just need to convince the producers about the obvious truth - that most companies can't make good games anymore and should just sell what they already have. No more new Call of Duty every week, no more AC asset flip, no more Sonic try no 932847293847. You have to let go, activision, ubisoft and sega, the accident wasn't your fault.

Oh, those ones. I'm rather interested in fallen order, but is it AAA? Seems a bit too good for it. Also, If Hogwarts was a Skyrim clone, I would actually be bothered to finish it. If it was a Morrowind clone, it would actually hit the sales jackpot and maybe win this year's awards.

Never really noticed that about Mario, but then again I kinda like the stiff, and therefore tight, controls. I dislike the blurry mess that is full of lenghty animations thanks to which I don't know whether I control my character anymore. Camera issues are real, though. I wonder if it's better on 3ds with that tiny stick for camera

The best part about making my own OCs is that I can absolutely refuse anyone permission to draw them.

It is entirely possible, and even quite likely, that you don’t actually have a “purpose” in being alive or some grand reason you were put on this Earth—and even if you do have one, no one is going to just hand it to you. Whatever your reason for living, whether it’s destiny or something you make on your own, you’re gonna have to figure that out for yourself. Some people never figure out what their purpose is, and that’s okay. Just enjoying life is reason enough to be alive.

@TheBigBlue Yeah I think I'll try to get Okami on sale when I take notice, and when I free up my backlog a bit. My goodness, there's so many games on my backlog... lol

@ComfyAko Ah yeah, I've seen that Okami gets so much praise. I've also been interested in Japanese culture, and I do love a good Zelda game, so that's a game I should totally check out sometime.

@Sunsy That's cool. I did play Smash Bros. for the 3DS and Wii U quite a bit back when they came out. I kinda wish the Wii U game had better single-player content, but other than that it was a good time. I remember when they announced that Mega Man would be a playable character... as a fan of the Mega Man series, that seriously made my day! He's still one of my mains, as well. It's cool that Rosalina's playable, too, but I have a hard time playing as her. She's got a pretty high learning curve.

I have quite a lot of Nintendo Power magazines, the oldest one I have was from way back in 2002. I have a few other gaming magazines, too. Ah I see, I wouldn't know they made games for the ZX Spectrum until that Retro Gamer magazine I mentioned earlier. Only one I've played was Jetpac, without even knowing that as a kid, lol.

That is pretty interesting about Smurfs Dance Party. I guess that would make sense, seeing that the Toys R Us print has a bit of exclusive content. The Wii Sports version I have is the earlier print. I got my Wii pretty early on, I got it as a birthday present in 2007.

That's cool, wonder what you'd think of Disney Speedstorm when you play that. Alice's Wonderland Bakery sounds like a cute show. I agree with you, that's cool that Disney puts all those references to their classic movies in even their children's shows. Especially for those who grew up with the classics, I used to watch various Disney movies on VHS as a child, even those that originally came out in theaters way before my time - Pinocchio and 101 Dalmatians to give a couple examples. I actually have a younger cousin who'd watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, as well... Disney's really good at keeping their magic around for a long, long time.

Thank you! I kinda want to see Alice in Wonderland pretty soon, actually. Mainly because I didn't see the whole thing, and it's good to watch something new every now and then. I'll let you know what I think after I watch it, and I'm sure I'll like it. I did enjoy Cinderella, after all.

@Tyranexx I do like a good/bad pun every now and then as well, lol! The only other Zelda game that I've played extensively way back when was A Link to the Past, since we had it for the SNES back in the day. I should come back to Twilight Princess sometime, I have it for the Wii U now. Okami sounds like an awesome game for sure, and I do intend to play it sometime. Not sure if I'd be able to 100% it of course, lol - I'd probably just get as much done as I can, at least in my first playthrough.
