Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

yeah I know it's just kinda... worrying that it got this bad. Let me share another gem of the elder knowledge - nothing is as important as your health. If you sacrifice it, you won't get it back and will be left with whatever you wanted just haunting you. You won't even enjoy the achievement anymore.

So yeah stay safe and healthy guys

Fluffy Dreams Everyone!

@ThatWeirdGuy Cause I'm not sick anymore-
Welp, I just butchered a math test. Anyways, because school is done, I must go. I shall see you tomorrow. Go to bed. Sleep well, Seef. Goodnight.
@Princess_Lilly By pass out I mean my body was exhausted and just fell asleep on me, not like fainting or anything

So that's why I couldn't find that last one you sent. Yes, I can relate, I've had my run-ins with the mods here myself.

For quite some time a while back, Kate Gray and Eel were openly plotting and chortling about banning me for nothing more than my righteous opposition to disco "music". The peak of the disco contagion was actually before my time, but I did get a sense of it in my younger days, and I see no reason for a fine young mind like Kate's or a highly manœuvrable, inherently dance-ready aquatic entity like Eel to suffer that kind of perversion today.

When encountering such oppression, I find the key is to maintain honest, steadfast, open and principled opposition. Follow the TOS closely and remain patient when people make irrational, emotional arguments. Be consistent, firm and predictable. ... But courage may be required in the face of a ban.

As for your meme and fluffy wishes, thank you for elaborating. I've been trying harder to get fluffy before bed in this uniquely gloomy, miserable winter, so I appreciate your words. As for Taiwan and China - yes, it is becoming more dangerous to speak one's mind on international conflicts, and not just here on NL. This is not a good trend, which is why that whole "principled opposition" thing is important. For the sake of nuance, I will say that no state/country is wholly innocent; when the Kuomintang settled in Taiwan, they did displace the indigenous residents of the island, and the country hasn't always been democratic. That said, I have close Taiwanese friends and I'm no fan of the CCP. Just trying to say that memes always run the risk of oversimplifying...

Do I need to bring out the Bee Gees 8 Track again?

@Sunsy There were some gender neutral toy sets sorta like those when I was a kid too. I remember having three Pokemon ones: a town/house theme with Charmander/Eevee, a forest one with Pikachu/Bulbasaur, and a beach one with Squirtle/Poliwhirl.

Very busy Christmas. I wasn't home that day since roughly 9:30 in the morning. Usually I have a lot of family stuff going on. Didn't help that mom wanted a full meal; I would've been fine with soup and crackers since I knew there'd be a huge meal at my grandma's that night. She lives a good distance away and the meal started late too. One of my cousins works at a hospital and had a 12 hour shift Christmas Day.

@MarioLover92 I've found it helps to have a picture or model of something when I'm trying to recreate it too. No rush on Rosalina, just when you're up to drawing her lol. Ah, sounds like a classic text adventure with branching paths. I do like the treasure hunt idea. I think it would be cool if you finished it, totally up to you though. My text game involves choices, but also some randomization that can help or hinder the player. It's designed where multiple playthroughs might not be the same...in theory.

I don't mind the live action Disney remakes that sort of do their own thing with the source material as a base, kind of like Maleficent. Or if they're a pretty accurate retelling of the original. But don't change it a lot. The Lion King remake convinced me to not watch many of the ones that came after due to how it butchers some of the animated film. I had high expectations for Be Prepared and was sorely disappointed.

I'd love a SMRPG sequel. As long as it improves on the oeuginal (or remake, I guess) in some meaningful way. I'm really looking forward to TTYD on the Switch! The "oldest" Paper Mario I've played so far is Super Paper Mario, which I adored outside of some of the weirder platforming elements. I've played every PM since barring a certain 3DS game and at least liked them, but the battle systems brought down both the Wii U and Switch PMs for me. Color Splash was a 6.5/10 and Origami King was a 7.5/10. With MK8D, the Blooper ranges from very annoying to barely registering, though you're spot on as to why the scale varies. It really depends on how well one knows a course.

Good morning everyone! (and for those who read it when they wake up) make sure to drink water when you wake up because your body sweats during sleep and it uses up the water you had from yesterday so make sure to stay hydrated!

@CANOEberry yeah, music is not what it was. I mean I don't even know any 10's or 20's band. They're no names. And I am pretty knowledgeable about music.

I kinda like dancing on the line, getting close to crossing it but never actually doing anything bannable or removable. I still get removes sometimes. I mean those were just funny memes stating the obvious. It wasn't even political or anything, as calling it political would require one to actually make a counterfactual statement. It's not political when I say that Yellowstone is in USA, for example.

I fully understand it that NL wants to remain completely neutral and apolitical, but sometimes, overreacting to a meme can show much more than intended.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of Kuomintang's crimes, it's just that we are now choosing the lesser evil. China, in its core, is pretty far down in terms of morality. Ultranationality there reminds you of Russia, or Germany in a certain period of time. Also, since they are now democratically chosen, they have more or less some grounds for governing, whereas CPR does not govern anything because nobody voted for them in real elections.

The best case scenario would be relegating control over various regions of China to outside powers, that would help dismantle that bomb. Of course, this is now nearly impossible due to the appeasement politics of literally every other country. And appeasement did not end well in the past.

read quickly, I didn't break any rules but I am badmouthing the party!

Good morning everyone
@ThatWeirdGuy Bro can you tell Troy I ain't giving him the silent treatment and that mom just made me stop talking to him T^T

@ThatWeirdGuy Yeah, he sent me an ominous email...

@ThatWeirdGuy Anyways, how was your sleep and how was your day

@ThatWeirdGuy I slept good, my mom let me sleep in, now I'm drinking coffee and chatting with my friends

I am 1/4 of the way finished with my 200 Quickplay challenge.

@ThatWeirdGuy Coffee has no effect on me, I just drink one cup a day for the taste (and to clear my throat cause it hurts in the morning and I sound like an ostridge)
Also what even was the conversation with Troy, may I ask

@ThatWeirdGuy I see
Troy's not really a conversation starter, if that helps you understand. I can't exactly go into his mind, but his autism probably has something to do with it. He doesn't dislike you, if that's what you think.
Also, it's snowing.

@ThatWeirdGuy Yeah, he doesn't dislike you at all. If he did, do you think he would let me steal his keyboard borderline everyday to talk to you?
Also not that you care about my friends drama, but Erin (You remmebr her right?) and Emma just became partners and it's the cutest thing ever cause I knew Quentin liked Erin and I think I helped him realize it a bit, but I had no idea Erin likedQuentin and oh my god it's just so cute

@ThatWeirdGuy Well he was also just being nice, but still. He doesn't hate you, don't worry man.
And yeah, it's very cute to see some of my closest friends get together

@ThatWeirdGuy It's snowing and I lvoe it
Maybe I can go sledding, I didn't get to go last year cause my snowpants were ancient dirt and I became too tall for them
SPEAKING OF HEIGHT
SEEF IF I STAND ON MY TIPPIE TIPPIE TOES I CAN ALMOST TOUCH THE CEILING

@ThatWeirdGuy Listen mister 6'1 in a functional family, Carlos is short, my mom is short, heck, Troy's dad is short, Troy is just lucky. Meanwhile your dad is tall, so you have an advantage, and you said your mom is short, but you're so tall everyone is short to you so I ain't believing you on that one, you're lucky, Troy's lukcy, I'm just a tiny little person

Anyone else struggling to get going again work-wise after the holiday season? Just not motivated to do anything productive yet.

@gcunit I'm sorta doing that with school honestly (I ain't go a job lol)
I keep waking up late and all that stuff
