Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Princess_Lilly Nah, my adorable little niece has never met me. I've only met my two nephews from Loupe. Also, if it's not the issue you shouldn't have brought it up. I've dealt with racism, it does not feel good at all. It makes you feel ashamed for who you are.
And yeah, my family from my fathers side is huge. I've met CJ and Loupe, but I have yet to met Migueal (I dunno if I spelt that right) and Ivy. I wanna meet all my nieces and nephews at some point, but especially my precious little red haired niece.
Oh, I guess I also have my nephew in law, I keep forgetting about him. His name is Angel, and he's a year older than me. I've met him about 6 and a half months ago. He's quiet, got curly brown hair, and seems pretty chill. But yeah, I ain't dying till I meet all my precious nieces and nephews. Actually, maybe when she's old enough, CJ could maybe bring his daughter to Michigan, cause he knows I wanna meet her. I wonder if the nephew I met when I was 8 still remembers me. He was about 3-5 at the time, so I doubt it, but it'd be cool if he did.

@Professor_Plumber Yeah, we really should have a whisper, just for some things you wanna tell someone but not the entire community

@EllaTheQueen6 so you can go here only on car? That's bad. I like walking and really don't like a cars.
I think that Egyptians are used to it and know how to survive in that climate. And they all have air conditioners.
That's sound great! I think it's a beautiful place for swimming and relaxing. I like to discover a new places and swim in new lakes or seas. Maybe in next week I'll swim in Baltic Sea. I just hope that water will be not too cold. It's +19... +20 °C for now.

@AnVold I mean, yeah, Egypt may be a third world country, but they still got air conditioners
I swear everyone who meets Seef is surprised to learn he's in Egypt, I was a little surprised when I first saw his Egypt flag when we were playing osu together, but I didn't think it was impossible or anything.
Yeah, it's nice for relaxing and swimming. Just watch out for the undertoe. Also, just curious, but since Lilly was sorta kinda being racist to you for being Russian, does this always happen to you? Like, do a lot of people actually care that you're Russian? I think that it don't matter where you're from, you're still a person, like, you didn't start the war, why should you be blamed? Seef often gets a lot of terrorist jokes because of his heavy Arab accent, which I find pretty dang sad. I just find racism all together just sad.

@EllaTheQueen6 it's not a luxury for them, but a means of survival.
I don't think that it's so unusual, because in my country there is many students from Egypt, China, Syria, Cuba, South Africa and other african countries.
No, it's never happen with me before. Is she watching TV too much? Turks and Germans were always welcome me and I had a very interesting conversation about war with Irish guy, who own his pub in Turkey. He asked my opinion and during conversation he understand me. Nobody cares about it, especially in Turkey. It was a first experience for me here on NL.
You are right. It'll be crazy if we start to blame each other for our government's actions.
I think that it's not bad if it's just a joke and he is not insulted by that. But if it's not a joke, then it's a serious problem. I just remembered a prank from YouTube with Arab and his bag.

@AnVold Yeah, if it's a joke from a close friend than I'd say it's alright, but just random people were joking about his Arab accent and he didn't like it. Seef is even a bit self concious about the accent, and I think that's both because of the terrorism jokes and the fact he's not the most understandable person in the world. Like, once you get used to it, you can understand him just fine, but it is a little bit hard to understand him when you first meet him cause of the very heavy accent. And yeah, racism is just bad. I've only had it happen to me a couple times, which would be my grandpa just straight up complaining about the Mexicans while little 9 year old me was in front of him. I wanted to cry so, so bad. I haven't seen him since, and one other instance I forgot. Racism does not feel good at all, and just because you're Russian doesn't mean people should hate you. You didn't start the war, so why should you get the hate? And the Egypt thing was more people are surprised to see an Egyptian lurking around on the internet, cause people think that they live in tents or something. I have online friends everywhere, Peru
the UK, Canada, Malaysia, Japan, Egypt, Mexico (Not friends anymore but I'm counting it), Germany, Russia if I count you, and many more places. At this point, I'm not surprised when I come across a person on the internet from some random 3rd world country I never heard of, because pretty much everyone has internet now. Sure, when I saw Seef was from Egypt I was like "Huh, ok, that's certainly interesting" but I wasn't really, like, YouTube thumbnail levels of surprised. Though, first the first few months I knew him, in my head I always pronounced his name wrong. I don't anymore, and around 5 months in our friendship we got in a voice call for the first time and literally the first words he heard me say were "It's pronounced safe right?" because it is pronounced like safe, and I even had to repeat myself cause I was nervous and shy and had bad social anxiety so he could barely hear me, let alone understand me. But yeah, wouldn't be surprised if I met someone from Antartica at this point.

@EaglyPurahfan Yeah. Like, if I were to say call Catherine an idiot, I'd get away punishment free besides for her correcting my spelling

them fightin' words

I’ve finished my playthrough of the Arkham series. Great games, although City is kinda overrated.

If Diddy Kong does manage to be one of the last drivers in the DLC, I will give my mom a $50 gift card for her birthday next year.

@HenryKibble
No Diddy Kong, but Nintendo has you covered. My sources tell me they cooked up a sweet Bronze green Luigi.

@Sunsy Yeah, I think it makes more sense to get the combo pack rather than just the digital copy for that price. Especially when it comes with a good amount of bonus features.

That's cool. Actually, I had something similar happen in my local video store. They had a tent sale going on back in 2002 I think, and that's where I got my copy of Kirby 64. Though, they wouldn't go out of business until much later.

Looks like you would've picked the winning team then, Vanilla was the team that won the Splatfest. Funnily enough, Vanilla would've been my second pick. I actually tried out strawberry ice cream and really liked it, plus I love strawberries anyway, so I went with Strawberry in the Splatfest. The last time I played Splatoon 2 online was sometime after Splatoon 3 came out, but didn't have S3 until Christmas 2022. There were still people playing it, I'd imagine some people still play S2 as well.

I also have Sonic Pinball Party, just not the other Sega published GBA games you've mentioned. But I do have Gunstar Super Heroes, which was actually published by Sega themselves in the US. Loved that game, by the way.

Ah really, didn't know that. That's cool, you seem like you've got quite a few ways to play Sonic 1. I still have Sonic Mega Collection for the GameCube, I hold that collection near and dear to me since that was the first time I've had the original Sonic games. The in-game menus and their accompanying music give me an insane amount of nostalgia, lol. I also have Sonic 1, 2, and 3 & Knuckles on the Wii Virtual Console, and Sonic 1 and 2 on the Switch. I kinda want Sonic Origins as well, but I'm hoping that I can get that on sale.

Lol, they already knew what game you wanted! That was pretty cool actually. I've had a similar instance where one of the GameStop employees readied my copy of Mario Kart 7 on launch day after I preordered it.

Nice, I liked Luca back when I saw it for the first time on Disney+. It's a good movie for sure.

I should play Super Princess Peach as well, thanks to Peach's Switch game coming out next year. I'm literally like that with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, been playing that a ton lately. You and I have another thing in common now, we're both hooked on a racing game, lol.

@JONOFTHEJONS I feel for you. People being horrible to someone for no reason other than mob psychology is something that is not talked about enough. As a repeat victim, I can only say that sometimes walking away is the best option for you. I think that "just the internet" is not an excuse anymore, and even though I struggle with being positive all the time myself, and sometimes I let something hurtful or spiteful out, it should be emphasized that the internet, as a medium, has impact. It is nothing to be ashamed of if you are sensitive to some things, and you and your feelings are valid.

On a sidenote, your avatar is super cute, I really liked Splatoon 1. I still remember waiting for the second testfire after falling in love with the game during the first one. On launch day I played it for almost 6 hours

@JONOFTHEJONS

It is okay to call someone racist for no reason

It is inappropriate to try and defend yourself from false accusations

@Fizza I do have access to a PS3 via my brother so I might pick that up if I come across it. Seems like a better deal than the Switch releases anyway. That's a good thing about the PS3, most of its library is very cheap now (even compared to the Wii and DS for example, which do have some good games available cheap but a lot of the prices have crept up over the years). I picked up Mirror's Edge for £1.50 the other day

Good day. Had some audiorecordings for a cinemamovie. was fun

@JONOFTHEJONS that's good to hear. you need people who can take care of you!

@Anti-Matter buds forever

@Princess_Lilly for no reason? Really? I saw your last post where you continued insulting other countries and telling a fairy tails about them. And I even not talk about your lie about me. That's definitely not ok. Just try to understand that other peoples from other countries may have a very different opinions.
