@Zuljaras yeah now they only have as part of a water color bundle set for $40, so I lucked out!

These boxes come from europe so it takes a long time… But it was worth the wait.

@Eel Wow you ordered from Europe ... but why? Especially for something so small and probably available in Mexico I presume

@Zuljaras mostly just to try out the scrawlrbox boxes, they had a buy three pay one special.

The entire order plus shipping was about the same price as buying a single unit of that same watercolor set in Amazon Mexico.

@Zuljaras yeah, that is a great approach! You can always try both. For me, digital is very calming, so I think you just need to try and see what works best for you.

I'm not that good at it but I'm having a good time and that's all that matters

Wow. In pennsylvania, we can smell the fire from the Nova Scotia forest fires. And the sky is ultra hazy (can't see blue sky, or make out clouds, it's just hazy white) and the sun has a sunset-orangey cast to it even when it's at it's highest point of the day. This exceeds or matches the worst of the visible smoke pollution from western US fires of the previous year. I've never skipped exercising outside because of pollution before.

@WoomyNNYes It's been cloudy here for a few days now. Hopefully it won't get any worse.

@Owl1 Do you telemark ski?

@Eel That makes sense. For me it is very expensive to order things from the USA (and UK after Brexit) Only the shipping of a small thing is about 40$ without VAT. The VAT is another 20% of the whole price (order price + shipping) ... it is insane!

@ComfyAko Yes! As you said that is the only thing that matters in art, to have a great time and enjoy the process!

Yeah, the Canadian wildfires this year are brutal. It’s not just Nova Scotia either unfortunately, the likes of Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alberta are having a pretty bad wildfire problem. And the July heat coming up definitely won’t help with that…

@TheBigBlue I live in Nova Scotia (to put it simply, and to not dox myself) and I really hope where I live doesn't get them.

That July heat is gonna burn... No pun intended.

@Eel You're welcome. Ah gotcha, I've taken a painting class where I would do oil painting. I'd use paints and walnut oil to make paintings. But it was a bit too messy for my liking, lol. Drawing can be a little bit messy too, I'd erase pencil smudges on my drawings to clean them up a bit. I've had pencil smudges on the side of my hand while I drew, as well.

@WoomyNNYes It's gotten pretty bad here, as well. That smoke smell outside is just awful. You're gonna want to skip exercising outside because of that, yeah... do stay safe! Same goes to @Owl1 and everyone else who's affected by this.

@JONOFTHEJONS
I’ll keep my eye on it. I saw something about how the next Lego game may be revealed so that will be interesting.

@Owl1 @WoomyNNYes
Hopefully things don’t get worse, stay safe guys.

My day just keeps getting better remembering the Pokemon I have lost...

@JONOFTHEJONS
It was just a rumor, so I’m not getting my hopes up. But if it is real, I hope it’s a Lego Batman 4.

@Owl1
Wait did you lose your save file on a game?

@JONOFTHEJONS
It could also be a Harry Potter game. Seems like Batman or HP are the two options rumored.

@blindsquarel when doing my Switch transfers somewhere in the process I lost my saves... All I have left is HOME.

@Owl1 yeah switch transferring sucks. It’s very inefficient and a slow burn. I did that when my first switch got a white wine spill on it for some weird reason (I don’t drink the stuff or buy it, so I was genuinely confused) and while my safe game data was kept, the purchased DLC wasn’t. It can be such a hassle sometimes

@TheBigBlue I once had to do it 3 times in one day and it sucked.

This is the thing Nintendo sucks at, just do what Xbox does and keep EVERYTHING linking to your account.

@Owl1
I don’t get why Nintendo is so bad with switch transfers. At least home worked, so there’s a positive.
