@blindsquarel does Apple want more people to Ski? Shower thought.

I just got all the lightroots, shrines are next.

@Professor_Plumber I just oof'd...

I just learned about humble bundle, and I need to keep an eye on it. They don’t have any bundles I want right now, but that could be a way to save tons of money. Although it seems kinda dirty to pay the minimum price considering it’s for charity.
@Owl1
Apple wants more people to ski in the meta verse. Hence why they designed the headset to feel authentic.

@Professor_Plumber
Yes, we have Zelda.

@blindsquarel Eventide Island be like:

@blindsquarel Ski the future! Let your dreams be Ski high!

@blindsquarel @Professor_Plumber thinking Ski, thinking Ski, thinking Ski, THINKING SKI!!!

@Owl1
I ski daily. On a resort, I ski. Down some random mountain, ski. During winter, ski. During spring, ski. Duringsummer, I attach wheels to my skis and head down the mountain.

@Tyranexx Oh that's totally understandable. Real life can indeed hit like a train at times... that can happen to me and everyone else as well. I've mainly focused on the main quests, as well as exploring the game's world and doing as much shrines as I could. I've done some side quests, too. Ah gotcha, I haven't played enough of Get It Together as of now but I do remember that you could control your characters during the microgames themselves.

Yeah I didn't have too much games for my GBC either. I did have stuff like Super Mario Land 1 and 2, Donkey Kong '94, Pokemon Red, and the Game & Watch Gallery games, but that's about it. I did like them all, but I will admit that I... kinda sucked at Pokemon, lol. It was the first time I ever touched an RPG though. The GBA was when I had a lot more games, plus it helped that the GBA was on the market longer than the GBC, IIRC.

That's actually a good strategy you came up with, just taking a small thing or two with you. Since you're less likely to lose your precious belongings, especially something like the Switch. I would've been real upset if I somehow lost that, though I'm generally careful with making sure I pack everything before I'm outta here. Got your response in the artist thread.

@Sunsy It actually was a smartphone, just apparently it wasn't very good. It's actually lasted two years before it started to go haywire. I've never had an iPhone, I just happen to use Android phones since I've ended up with those. I used to have an iPod and we still have an iPad, but that's about it with whatever Apple devices we've had. That horse mask is indeed ridiculous, lol. Wonder what the horse guy's move set would be like?

Looks like you got more use out of that DS wrist strap than I did, lol. I remember Ridge Racer DS... I used to have that game and I thought it was pretty good at the time.

It was bad, yeah... it wasn't even that big of a deal just because I had a gosh dang rolling bag. That was back in my middle school days, and I still remember that to this day. You can't make this stuff up, lol. That's good no one got told off for that at your school. That's cool you use your Poppy backpack. No judgment from me whatsoever.

That's cool you saw Guardians of the Galaxy 3, I did see that you loved it, glad you did! I've not heard of Ferdinand. Yeah same here, I saw Mulan at one of my schools since we didn't have it at our home back in the day. I remember liking its story and setting. Quite a lot of other Disney movies I wanna see, too... I've been in a Disney mood lately.

I'm not a terrible artist, I just have my own unique way of drawing.

Every art piece is personalized

@Eel It's what I plan to say next time someone makes fun of my skill.

Speaking of personalized art. I’ve been into watercolor lately. I only have a small set of pastel colors, but it’s been fun painting random stuff.

I’m not particularly skilled and it, but it’s still quite relaxing.

I wish I could do the cool water-splotchy floral art people usually do with watercolors.

@Owl1 Not really a good trailer for a series, but nice to see we are getting new "Black Mirror" episodes soon-ish... . Seriously though, the gap between dystopian science-fiction and the real future is closing faster than ever.

@Leon-San fiction steals from real life, real life steals from fiction.

@Eel That is so cool! I am also getting into watercolor just now! I got the Van Gogh pocket set as it is budgety and very compact! I also got cheaper watercolor paper and some decent brushes

If you need some videos find Paul Clark on YT as his tutorials are AMAZING!
I hope you are having fun with this medium

@Owl1 True that, still eagerly (though patiently) waiting for the Ghost in the Shell-stuff to become real. Can't wait to leave the restrictions of the body behind and let the soul roam freely, haha .

@Leon-San I'm fine with my blood and bones lol.

@Zuljaras ah you might have seen a few random pics on twitter already!

I have the derwent pastel shades watercolor pan set, it’s also of the pocket variety. I would definitely love to expand the color palette with more traditional shades, so I’ll try and see if your recommendation is available here, and check out those videos.

I got it as part of a scrawlrbox… box. So it came with a paper pad as well. I’m nearly done using all the pages though!

Edit: here’s what I painted today.

@Eel Just saw that The pastel shades will always be more muted in comparison to the other. I did not know before that, that there are neon, natural, metalic, pearl etc. shade variations of the watercolor medium.

I will start by making some small landscape paintings.

One of the coolest techniques is the "wet on wet" one. Also sprinkling table salt on the wet paint on the paper makes some cool textures after drying

This guy Paul Clark explains them quite well and he has tutorials for separate stuff like how to paint trees, sky, sea etc. and also full blown paintings

PS: This Metroid is so nicely done!
