Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Is there such a thing as being anti-nostalgic? Because that's me right now.

@IceDomino yep, you are not alone.

@IceDomino Eh, I wouldn't blame you if you were.

@Tyranexx Indeed, I usually just order my shirts online, usually through Amazon. DreamWorks has an official Trolls shop on Amazon, with lots of shirt designs, in all sizes and styles. All I have is Target, Walmart, and Kohl's, they usually sell Trolls in kids sizes, so I just buy them online. I did get a Trolls shirt from Kohl's website on Black Friday, they had a few in adult size so ordered one. Last time I got a shirt from JC Penney was a Sonic one from their website.

Nice, while it's similar to sushi, I've actually made Brock's jelly donuts onigiri, albeit just rice and nori. No, she usually just eats Shrimp breaded and fried. She never asked for them like that. Maybe I should ask her if she'd like that.

BTW, @MarioLover92 and I had fun playing Super Mario 3D World the other night. Forgot to mention this.

@IceDomino Never heard of the phrase anti-nostalgic before. Similarly I've seen people put down new cartoons just because they're not like the old cartoons, if that's what you mean. It's the only example I could think of since notice some let nostalgia influence what they think on newer shows, games, etc.

Since nostalgia is a feeling of longing for what is now in the past… is anti nostalgia a feeling of longing for what is yet to come? Or a feeling of disgust for the past?

@Princess_Lilly I started the 1992 Sailor Moon

I really didn't appreciate how chill this thread is. Everyone's out to bite your head off in other places

edit @EllaTheQueen6 you posted a moment before me lol. I wish you a great time, Sailor Moon is a very good thing to watch, I love the comedy aspect

@Princess_Lilly 2 episodes in, made it my new years resolution to watch all 200 episodes in this year, very good show. usagi is just like me, cries a lot and cries loud

@EllaTheQueen6 my favorite character is Luna, but only up to a certain point.

the comedy is spot on all the way through

is it streamed anywhere

@Princess_Lilly Sailor Moon is on Prime video, which is basically all we have at the moment

@EllaTheQueen6 oh I know those. My best source for

"This video is currently unavailable
to watch in your location"

so yeah.

I'm currently watching some shoujo slice of life "Dairy of our days in the breakwater", kinda okayish at the moment, and I'm not in the condition to watch anything profound.

@Princess_Lilly I'm watching Death Note along with Sailor Moon. I've been going like this
Firs I watch an episode of House M.D
Then I watch an episode of Detah Note
Then i watch an episode fo Sailor Moon
Then I just freestyle

@EllaTheQueen6 that is one fearsome combination

@EllaTheQueen6 Literally just finished watching the last episode of that. I love all the characters, and the comedy is really funny at times. It's a great show, apart from some odd aspects, and I hope you enjoy it. I'm considering getting the manga at some point, because I dunno what to do now, and I want to see how massively different it is.

@Scooby-Doo Sailor Moon or Death Note

@EllaTheQueen6 Sailor Moon. I'm reading the Death Note manga, though, but I'm not that interested in that series, so I'm only reading that at a rate of one of those 2-in-1 collections a year. I always get my brother one for his birthday, saves me having to think of another present.

@Eel Whichever one means “refusing to spend all day doing nothing but whine about wanting to be young again like most online users and accepting that nothing is going to stay the same forever”.

Guys I have made th ebest discovery since electricity
I put garlic on my grileld cheese sandwich

@EllaTheQueen6 I once made a grilled cheese with garlic toast, garlic and grilled cheese is best thing.

This nostalgia talk reminds me, while I do feel nostalgic for certain things like some video games or Christmases, I do feel like things are better now than they were years ago. Call it a hot take, I guess.

Thinking about it, since I mentioned it earlier, I like wearing character shirts because I love cartoons and characters. Decades ago, getting them was hard because I was a teen, and a lot of them were in kids sizes. I'd be lucky to have a few Jimmy Neutron shirts that were big enough to fit (I was short, so a boys XL fit me fine in those days). Nowadays, I get most of my shirts online, and have no trouble finding them in adult sizes.

Just a personal experience really and a dumb way to look at it, it kind of proves my point to why I prefer things nowadays. Nobody ever thinks about some of the struggles of the past. I'll still feel nostalgic over some games, though a lot of the classic DOS games I play from GOG, most I missed out on having a Mac as a kid and don't have nostalgia for. I never played Jagged Alliance from 1995 until last month.
