@Eel I suggest those:

They are really good!

@Zuljaras ironically, I do have a few Microns my brother gave me, but none of them is black!

@Eel Other colors might even be better depending on the drawing I have to get some other colors as well

@TeaCatherine Oh in some rare cases that can happen but most of the time the game will just be an unbearable slideshow, haha. Happy to help!

@Zuljaras I think I have one of those lying around, they’re good for drawing with? Or at least black and white drawings?

Also I wanted to ask you, do I need pro coloring material? Obviously it would be better but do crayons work? Look I know it’s a stupid question have I ever used a crayon before of course I just was wondering if it’s recommended coloring like that.

Microns are excellent for lineart, doodling, technical drawing, and bullet journaling.

@Snatcher You mean Pastels? I think it is the same thing They are an arm medium. I do not have any experience with them but they are useful for adding finishing touches to watercolor or gouache paintings like highlights or shadows

I assume they mean literal wax crayons, like, the crayola brand ones.

@Eel Yes I mean these, pastels is what I kinda consider to be the much better tools compared to crayons.

@TeaCatherine yah it would probably be hard to make an ultimate tool that would check the specs of a device and say that something will work or not

@Zuljaras its very nice for a second try. If you are bothered by it, maybe try making some very light colouring first? Most watercolor paintings are not very saturated, I think

@Link-Hero Yeah, I just kind of assumed it'd be able to run ports of DS games, mostly visual novels so nothing too intensive where FPS would really matter. Before this I just assumed they couldn't even start up because that's what happened the one time I got something on Steam on a computer that couldn't run ii

@Eel
I don't really like to color with crayons.
It messed up my fingers, not really suitable for coloring the smaller parts of picture.
I prefer using color pencils to color.

Yep, last notification I got said the thread hadn’t been posted in all day. Oh well.

I think we can all relate to this

@Professor_Plumber Yeah, overall the backlog is a good problem to have. I just need to not let it stress me out.

@Tyranexx
I have some weird tendency in getting the games.
There are some games I like to get them but after got them, I rarely played them as I still not ready yet to have focus on the games I still not familiar yet.

I feels this so much.

@Professor_Plumber I love how this scene taken out of context legit look like he’s happy lol.

This academic year in my school, there are some unusual student's names for grade 1 such as Daenerys, Mirakela, Kelila, Shankara, Lucian, etc.
I have never heard kind of names like that before. 😅
Those kids was born from either year 2016 or 2017 and got named by parents with very unusual names.

@Anti-Matter I think I understand and call that the "excitement" factor. It's exciting to research and buy new games for our collections. Problem is, if there's already a pile of other games to play, or our attention gets grabbed by something else (games or otherwise), they can sit unplayed for a very long time.

On an unrelated note, I think I recall you've played one of the Dragon Quest Builders games? Was that the second one? I'm playing the Switch demo right now and really like it.

@Snatcher I just gotta keep reminding myself it's a hobby, not a job. I don't have to play all these games. They're here for entertainment. My list of unplayed (and finished!) games is for organizational purposes, not a laundry list. It's all starting to become a mantra.

@Professor_Plumber Part of the reason why I go dark after a certain point in my evening is to spend my time doing other things besides hopping around on the internet. It's really helped having a cutoff time.

@Tyranexx
I played both of Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2 on PS4. I have both of them too on Switch version but the PS4 version have stable 60 fps than Switch version (30 fps on DQB 2).
I have finished the storyline of Dragon Quest Builders 2, just only doing some optional missions to complete my tools option to carve the world.
I still in chapter 2 of Dragon Quest Builders 1 as the current mission I had was still quite confusing and not to mention there are tons of poison lake and poison land on chapter 2.
I still have a dream to build my beautiful town in DQB games but it seems quite difficult to build the entire town without serious planning.
It was not easy as building homes in The Sims games.
