@Princess_Lilly never tried to insult you. You just can't accept the fact that a person may have a different opinion on international politics. That's all.
@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.

@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

@Sunsy I wanna get a picture of my copy of the Super Mario movie when I get it. Hopefully you'll get those two movies soon.
Yeah I used to go to Blockbuster/Hollywood Video a lot, and there was a mom and pop video store that we'd go to as well. We'd rent Nintendo 64 and GameCube games there. In that mom and pop store I just mentioned, there was a whole section dedicated to games, which I was (and still is) more into than movies. At least the live-action stuff, I do still like animated movies.
Speaking of Marathon and Doom, I should head back to the classic Doom series sometime. I did finish the first one at least, that was a good game for sure. The closest thing I was playing recently was Splatoon 3 since the splatfest happened last weekend. Too bad my team (strawberry) lost miserably, though... that was the second time in a row I picked a team that ended up in last place. I did manage to bring home a 100x win, at least! I'm especially thankful for that because 100x and 333x battles are absurdly rare in that game.
THQ published the Sonic Advance games here in the US, I remember it was kinda odd because, you know, Sonic is Sega's mascot, lol. I do remember thinking of having Sega Smash Pack for the GBA, just didn't want it in the end. Only saw a video of its Sonic Spinball gameplay on YouTube recently. I never got Sonic 1 for the GBA either, I remember hearing it wasn't very good. The closest thing I have is Sega 3D Classics Collection for the 3DS. Fun fact, that was the last physical 3DS game that I got.
Yeah, I did some research on those Disney movies since they originally came out way before my time, lol. Speaking of Disney, I wanna see Mary Poppins next. Though, I think we'll need to split it into two sessions because its running time is over two hours.
Me too! Honestly, I'm more excited for Peach's game than the Super Mario RPG remake. Yeah wave 5 is pretty solid overall, been playing those courses online after the splatfest ended. We should play Mario Kart online again sometime.
I hope so too. Honestly, I'm looking forward to when Ruby Gillman comes to DVD, I want to watch it again, but I'm not going to pay $20 for the digital one since the Blu-Ray/DVD pack comes with digital anyway.
Wow, that reminds me, when I was a lot younger, there was a few rental places we went to that weren't as big as Hollywood or Blockbuster. I use to rent Super NES games from one of them too, that's how long ago, even a few N64 games when the N64 was current, then they closed for good. We actually got Star Wars Racer from them because of it IIRC.
If you haven't played Doom 2 yet, definitely give it a go. Doom 2 was just more Doom, with some new monsters and the super shotgun. It was a good upgrade. Wow, I don't have Splatoon 3 yet, but I would be on team Vanilla for sure. I always go for vanilla ice cream. Hopefully you'll do better next splatfest. Now I wonder if people still play Splatoon 2, maybe it gives me an excuse to play it again and see, lol.
Yeah, Sega and THQ had a deal to co-publish Sega's GBA games. Part of that deal was also allowed THQ to make their own GBA games using Sega's properties, hence why we got stuff like Crazy Taxi: Catch A Ride and Sega Smash Pack. Come to think about it, Sonic Genesis, Charlotte's Web (found this in 2016, had to pick it up for the novelty of finding a new GBA game alone), Chu Chu Rocket, and Sonic Pinball Party are the only SEGA published GBA games I have.
Alrighty, yeah, the Spinball port played better than Sonic 1, I remember reading somewhere it was ported from Genesis source code found in a Sega employee's garage. Funnily enough I was playing the Sonic 1 GBA port last night. I had on a Sonic chill stream, wearing my Sonic shirt, and just played it since my GBA was nearby and it was in it. I have a thing where I keep a port of Sonic 1 in all my old systems for convenience, lol. Sonic Mega Collection is sitting in my GameCube right now, lol.
Oh cool, I remember picking up Sega 3D Classics Collection day one. I still remember the day I went to GameStop to pick it up, the employee saw my Sonic shirt and was like "I know why you're here." Good times.
Cool, it's been awhile since I've seen Mary Poppins. Last Disney movie I watched was Luca again.
I'm just excited we're getting a new Peach game. Now I feel like digging up my old copy of Super Princess Peach to play it. I still need to play them, just Asphalt had me hooked the last few times I played my Switch, and PC. I play it on both.
@Sunsy Not sure if I'll get to that movie, but we'll see. As for my vacation: Thanks! I leave in a couple of days.
As for the 4th of July, I did end up meeting my family for supper that evening. We also watched some fireworks. Normally we fit in a movie too somewhere, but schedules didn't align unfortunately. I did watch a movie with some of my family last weekend, The Sound of Freedom.
You're welcome.
Sounds nice. For me, all I did was cook hamburgers and hot dogs, on the stove, grilling isn't allowed where I live. I miss cooking BBQ outdoors. Mom and I watched Independence Day and then when the livestream on Peacock was up, we put on fireworks. We don't get to go see them in person anymore. It was still a nice time.
@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.
Yesterday, I was forced to delete my Reddit account due to people being absolutely horrible to me and calling me a “*****ing P***y” because I made a meme about a suggestive Splatoon art piece I didn’t like. I never use social media, but I thought I could post something to make people laugh. It turns out I forgot that Reddit is a wasteland of awful people. Can someone in here say something to cheer me up? I know it’s just the internet, but these minor things make a huge impact on my mental stability.
You only need to know about my many obsessions, which consist of Lego, Fortnite, Nintendo, PlayStation and Xbox games, drawing on my Tablet, Dragon Ball Z, My Hero Academia, Thomas The Tank Engine, Star Wars, and Ninjago.
@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
