I swear our house isn't even bothering with christmas decorations this year and it feels wrong.
Also, I have to get all my siblings presents within 20 days, hope I make it.

@TeaCatherine I sent my sister and 2 of my 4 brothers just simple Christmas cards, each had a different polaroid picture of my white cat Destiny, but for Troy I might get him a ps2 game

@EllaTheQueen6 Yeah, I guess that's pretty easy. Curse my generous nature, I'll probably end up getting people rather expensive things like comics. @Princess_Lilly Yeah, we normally have a tree and house decorations but this is our first christmas staying where we are at the moment and the house owner can't be bothered.

@EllaTheQueen6 Well, I only decorate trees as well. Also the table with some nice tablecloth. And some ornaments on the windows. And a small tree with just lights in another room.
@TeaCatherine Oh, I see. Yeah, you have different priorites this year. The spirit of Christmas, being together and remembering kindness of others is what's important.
May I talk about my experience of listening a priest's lecture about Christmas celebration long long time ago?
If I remembered correctly, back in year before 2007, I have ever visited a church every Sunday despite I am not a Christian. There was one priest's lecture about Christmas celebration that we were not supposed to celebrate in happiness because she said Christmas was used to be a scary day where the first kid in Egypt will be killed by Pharaoh once Jesus Christ was born.
She said we were not supposed to celebrate Christmas in happiness and big party. In my mind, I was DA HECK she said we were not allowed to celebrate Christmas in happiness ?! 🤨
If she thought Christmas Day was a frightening day, well she should celebrate like that for herself but don't tell anybody to not allow to celebrate Christmas in happiness, even for non Christian peoples. In my opinion, her lecture about Christmas Day celebration was a false lecture. If she didn't want to celebrate Christmas Day in happiness, good for her but let other peoples celebrate Christmas Day in happiness without thinking too much about the scary day when Pharaoh killed the first kids once Jesus Christ was born.
@Anti-Matter this is some of the weirdest stuff I heard with everything mixed up, that priest was... wtf was even that. I'm gonna go into details tomorrow

@MarioLover92 About the controllers - no, it's not that they're wireless, it's that when you turn the knob on it, you can very smoothly adjust the speed of train. In the normal controller, you have like 1, 2 or 3 preset speeds and when you turn the knob, you just switch that speed.
I sometimes travel by trains, my Japanese exam was held in one city only, so I had to take the early train, it was 1 year ago. I slept almost all the way. Going back was much more tiring as there were lots of people going back from holidays, and they had kids. Noisy kids. My muffling headphones couldn't mitigate that ruckus. People are the only thing I dislike about trains.
Do you like trains, seeing that you have been to railroad museums?
Yeah, the scent is something I would never give up on during holiday season. Scent is one of the most memory - inducing senses, they can evoke feelings you can't even remember existed. It's worth buying a real tree every year.
Yes I do have Switch! As for what games I like, it's a tricky question, I like a lot of them. Remakes of old RPGs, (like Atelier Marie or Rhapsody), new RPGs (like Xenoblade 2 or Octopath Traveler), some one-of-a-kind games like Katamari Damacy, even Visual Novels. As for Nintendo's first party, I got Mario Kart for both Wii U and Switch, Also Smash for Wii U and Smash Ultimate. I also played Splatoon since the first installment, but I grew a bit tired of it. As for my gaming library, the Nintendolife account does not reflect it well since I can't be bothered to enter each and every game I have, they are just auto added from polls.
Yeah I finished Wonder too, it was great. My personal favorites is still Odyssey, though.
Apologies for the late reply. Oh that kind of controller, yeah I have that kind as well, the one where you'd smoothly control the train's speed.
Oh gotcha... yeah that can get pretty bothersome to hear. It's all the roll of the dice that determines how crowded it gets, I guess. With you taking the early train that one time, I had a similar instance to that, but that was via plane. I was on vacation one time, and I had to get up super early to catch my flight back home. It was about 4 AM, give or take.
I do like trains, yes. Kinda hinted on that earlier, lol! That railroad museum was really nice to visit, I've been there twice as of now. My local museum has a nice model train room, as well. I've even done a Christmas drawing a few years back, with Toad riding his holiday train with presents on board. I can show that drawing to you if you want.
Oh absolutely, that kind of scent can give you a sense of nostalgia as well. I've not had a real tree for so many years... I wonder when I'll have one again.
Oh that's awesome! I like platformers and adventure games the best, and Mario Kart and Splatoon are my favorite games to play online, but I do like Smash Bros. as well. Perhaps we could play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online together if you want to sometime. That's fine on your game collection, no worries there.
Ah yeah Super Mario Odyssey is fantastic. It was a huge reason why I got a Switch in the first place... then again, Mario's always been a huge reason why I have Nintendo consoles to begin with, lol.
@MarioLover92 C++ and C# are both object-oriented languages. But the latter is way more integrated into Microsoft's .NET environment. C++ was originally designed as an extension of C and is a lower-level language (AKA closer to the basic/core machine language and commands). C++ is also way more universal, whereas C# is higher level and is pretty much stuck on Windows for now. There are other key differences - there are plenty of articles that can explain this better than I can - but those are the ones I'm most familiar with in a nutshell.
I admittedly haven't touched my 3DS too recently either, though I'd like to pick it up again before long since I still have a backlog for it! Besides IRL, Switch and PC gaming are hogging the VG time right now. I agree, good games in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe! That was pretty fun, and I'll repeat myself: I don't think I was trolled nearly as badly as last time (for the most part).
Is C# a programming language that lets you make visual programs instead of having a command prompt? I used another language called Visual Basic.NET that does let you make visual programs. My school had a class that taught it, and surprisingly I did better in it than C++. It might have to partially do with me being more of a visual learner. Plus I've never used things like MS-DOS, the first PC I've ever used was a Windows 95 machine.
Yeah same here, there are quite a few games on my 3DS that I should play before long as well, lol. The majority of my gaming time has been on Switch, and yeah, IRL is another factor for me, too. Yeah... sometimes even me can get trolled pretty hard in Mario Kart as well haha. I'm pretty good at the game, I can drift and do mini-turbos pretty well, but sometimes I keep getting hit by everyone! Oh, and the less times I talk about my own green shell hitting me, the better.
@IceDomino Just saw your comment when looking up something else and it made me think about an interview I saw last week about a Dutch Historian Lotte Houwink ten Cate (don't know if she also writes in English) that criticizes our society for being to focused on the (heterosexual) family-life, that is the so-called best way of life with a lovely partner, splendid career and at least a few kids. She also focuses on the systems that are in place that are more beneficial for married couples than singles and stuff like that. It is a shame, but I hope you will be able to stick to your convictions and have a wonderful singles-life for as long as you want .
Tomorrow is another day and we can't ibuprofen this one away
Fluffy Dreams everyone!
I've been ibuprofening the past 4 days away (mind cutting headaches)
Yeah that's way more than my family does. We have an old premade tree and some ancient ornaments. I like the goofy tree, though. @DiamondCore I got the email notifications from itch.io, sorry to hear your png's were corrupted.
