@CaleBoi25 Thanks! Actually been wanting a Daisy profile picture for a good while so I'm glad I have one now. Daisy is one of my favorite Mario characters as well. I used the Mario Kart TV feature in MK8D to take this picture. I typically have my profile pics stick around for a long while before I feel like changing them.
@Pastellioli All righty. Ah I see... I could see myself struggling with that game too, lol. I think the closest thing I played was Tears of the Kingdom with how you could make vehicles, though it's not really the main focus of that game. It still plays like Zelda, so that's good. I did hear Yooka-Laylee had some mixed reviews too, so I also skipped it. Oh that reminds me, I wanna get back to A Hat In Time, I still haven't finished it yet. I have it on Steam.
I think I know who you're talking about, is that the person with the Banjo profile picture? I've talked to them a few times here on Nintendo Life. There's three game show segments in Yooka-Laylee? I also didn't like it in Banjo-Kazooie, that part stressed the heck out of me. I don't like being quizzed, lol. I can't blame you for using save states in that part. I also love colorful visuals in general... the Super Mario series come to mind, love how many of those games look.
I also like making my profile pics to be as good as possible, lol. I did cropping for that Daisy one I have since that was from a screenshot I took. Went ahead and got her vehicle in the pic too, which is the Sports Coupe. It fits Daisy really well honestly, since it's all yellow and has this cool, sleek look to it. It takes place in Daisy Cruiser, too. Really happy with how it turned out.

AKA MarioVillager92. Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I want to get to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@MarioVillager92 I think my brother and sister had A Hat in Time on the Switch and played it. Never tried it but it looked fun and humorous. I also watched funny videos for it too.
Yes, it is the person with the Banjo render as a profile picture, there are a lot of people on here that do have Banjo profile pictures though. He sometimes comes on here but I have talked with him on Pure Xbox way more. He is super kind, and I remember that I would see him on this site a lot way before I made an account on here. I remember that my first interaction with him was when I wrote in a thread about Conker on a PX thread, and we both gushed a ton about our love for Rare lol. Banjo only did a game show once in each game, but Yooka apparently doing it about three times was enough to make me lose interest in playing it.
Your profile picture is nice! I like it. Usually I have character renders as profile pictures, but I have had an in-game screen shot as a profile picture on here once, though I quickly changed it and had to edit it a lot. In fact, I’ve only had renders as a profile picture twice. One time it was a plushie, one time it was an in-game screenshot, and one time it was from a game trailer. I’m thinking of changing mine to a piece of fanart I’ll find on the web. I’ll probably try crediting who drew it in my bio, since I’m all for crediting artists and the sources where I get images from, but if it’s on Pinterest, it might be hard for me to find the source, cuz on there a lot of images get stolen and don’t have any artists attributed to them.

If you’re curious, the character in my PFP is Flippy from Happy Tree Friends.
@MarioVillager92 No prob! I do like the occasional longer game, but I really am trying to curb which ones I pick up outside of certain franchises for the most part. I usually balance a longer game with a shorter game or two. It really can depend. I blame some of it on the popularity of open world formats. I get sidetracked very easily in them since I like to explore in games. I'm very rarely a full completionist, but I at least try to finish a game unless it's one I really dislike (or if it keeps going on "forever"). Do revisit the Xenoblade series when you get the chance and are up for it. On my current games: thanks!
Many family coasters are a good step between the kiddie coasters and your smaller, but still full-size, rides. I'd recommend trying Space Mountain with someone who doesn't mind such rides, or riding in the dark. There really are a lot of cool special effects, and it is a fun one. As long as it isn't closed, which seems to happen now and then.
With pets, I've thought about getting something in a tank or terrarium (not fish), but I don't want to deal with cleaning something like that out frequently. And I'm definitely not home enough to properly care for a dog. They're more needy than cats, plus walks would be hard to do without going elsewhere since there are no sidewalks and a busy road where I live. Congrats on 100%ing Super Mario Sunshine! I recall the blue coins indeed being tricky. I never fully 100%ed Odyssey; I think I ended up with almost all the Moons, barring a few.
@Pastellioli I think I've seen a couple of videos and memes about Twitter/X, and those alone were nearly enough to make me facepalm repeatedly. I used to go there once in a blue moon for game related news, but I never bothered making an account. Since they're now a requirement, I don't bother at all.
Yep, the music we like and dislike is all subjective; I didn't get the impression from your description that the account owner was only interested in songs disliked by many. Jumping to conclusions is sadly WAAAAAY too common. It can happen in any facet of life, but it's very bad online. Partially because the nuance of speech and nonverbal communication is lost when we communicate via text only.
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
@Tyranexx I saw a bunch of cringy memes on Twitter/X that were pretty unfunny and a bit controversial. I never laughed at a Twitter post or meme once. I only really used the web version of Twitter to look at video game accounts and posts from Nintendo and Xbox, sometimes look up tweets from a film reviewer I watch occasionally, which would lead into reading fun posts on film and television analysis and criticism, entertainment and pop culture, alongside amazing artwork from so many great illustrators all over the world, though I’d also find myself reading up on drama involving some random celebrities and people on there for some reason. There was this popular account I did like that was dedicated to posting things that aged poorly over time, I found that to be the only Twitter account I found hilarious, but I just stopped caring the second they made it a requirement to make an account to use the web version and after I saw everything crash and burn with all the bad modifications and changes they made to stuff like the verification system and the rules and moderation despite how heavily they were criticized, plus the site, at least on the video game side, was trash.
I came across a lot of troll-y game accounts that were dedicated solely to starting console wars and division...it was only with PlayStation and Xbox accounts, I never came across any troll Nintendo accounts, but it was so annoying to see anyway despite being a Nintendo-only user at the time, plus a ton of stupid comparisons between games. I remember seeing this comparison someone tried doing with Metroid Dread and some other bigger budget title (can’t recall what game it was) and it was nonsensical because the games were nothing alike in genre and budget and it was clearly made to troll/flame. I am glad I don’t go on there anymore, because me going onto the web version of Twitter was a bit of a bad habit I had for a bit, so I guess them blocking access to people without an account was beneficial for me and my sanity lol.
Yeah, the account posts both subjectively and objectively bad songs. The person has stated time and time again that the songs they post are mostly opinionated, but they have posted few songs that are objectively bad (either musically, lyrically, or thematically; I heard a really awful diss track on there today that was bad musically and lyrically, alongside being racist) so the account is a mix of subjective and objective opinions. Some songs on there are well known and some are super obscure. I wish that everyone against the account didn’t just jump to conclusions over the owner’s opinions on what they think is a “bad” song. I do think some of the songs on that account don’t sound bad, but it’s the owner’s opinion, and I respect that.
Been busy between playing the new Asphalt Legends Unite update, DOOM + DOOM II, and preparing for a friend who's going to visit. Hoping for a day of gaming with him.
@Sunsy I also didn’t watch the film only for Ugly Sonic, I think I was planning on watching it before they confirmed he was appearing in the film. Sometimes on Disney+ I randomly watch stuff for fun maybe once when I’m bored, and I just thought that the movie looked like some decent, silly ol’ fun. But, some of the cameos did make the film funny, and I did like some of the different animation styles and mediums they used for the characters there, though I remember a lot of criticism with the 2D animation simply being CGI made to look like 2D. I still thought it was great, I was expecting a possible sequel to it but that surprisingly hasn’t happened yet.
I still really want that trailer soon. I am now really REALLY looking forward to hearing Keanu Reeves in it after seeing The Matrix. It is a bit stuck in my mind right now lol.
I sometimes read the Community Rules a lot. I do know what not to do, but sometimes when I type something, I do worry a bit if I am accidentally breaking rules or not. I really don’t want to make the site unfun, or give anyone a bad time. Sometimes some things I have don’t need to be said. I remember posting this really unneeded comment on this vacation/goodbye thread, and I think now looking back on it, my comment really wasn’t needed and was super unconstructive. I really wish I didn’t comment, but I did, but I’ll at least be more careful with what I say and post. The moderation here can sometimes give you a good lesson on what to avoid commenting and how to act the next time. The mods are super kind, and they are just doing their job to make the site a fun place to chat and visit.
Yeah it was a mix of all kinds of animation, really cool stuff. It honestly felt like a modern Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Glad you liked The Matrix. Let's hope Paramount and Sega shares something soon.
Yeah, I think it's always good to check the rules when it comes to posting. I don't do it all the time, but when I want to be sure about something, I'll always open it in a new tab to check and make sure.
@Sunsy Oh that's awesome. I actually have relatives who live in Florida... would love to fly there and meet them. I wanna visit Disney first, then Universal's Nintendo park, since it looks like there's more to do at Disney and I've been getting back into their movies and cartoons. I even got the Mickey Mouse cartoons on blu-ray last year at Walmart. There were two volumes, I got them both (the second volume was a birthday present), and they were for Disney's 100th anniversary. Oh gotcha, I don't remember there was an alternate control scheme... I hated the on-foot missions, it's why I didn't like the game. I'll probably like the game more if I tried that dual-stick setup, but I've gotten so used to Splatoon's gyro controls, lol.
That's cool, I might try out that Movies Anywhere thing, I've never used it. I do know on Disney+, you could download movies to your mobile device for offline viewing if you have the app. I've tried it out once. Never had any of those Genesis ports to the GBA, the Sega games I had for the GBA were the Sonic Advance games, and Gunstar Super Heroes.
Yeah, it's kinda weird... I can't really see why those rereleases would only be exclusive to certain locations. Good to see you can always find Illumination and DreamWorks movies in your area.
Guess the devs of 8-bit Sonic 2 wanted to spice things up, lol. I remember that barrel of doom, I was stuck in that same exact level! That also reminds me, not a Sonic game, but the original F-Zero had a course like that. There's that huge jump in White Land II, and if you don't hold down on the control pad, you go off course and blow up. How was I supposed to know that without looking it up?
Getting bullied really sucks, I think that first happened to me in middle school. Wow that does makes no sense! Imagine being a kid, and ridiculing another kid for liking a children's show of all things, lol. I was bullied for liking Nintendo games, as well as Mega Man. I got ridiculed for not playing M-rated games too. Some people are just plain uncool.
Yeah, he's already up here, so it's just a matter of days before he visits. Hoping to do some gaming once he gets here. Gonna hook up my Switch dock to the living room TV and enjoy some games. That's awesome, speaking of Mickey, I sometimes put on a stream on YouTube of Minnie Bow-toons, they're like modern day Minnie Mouse shorts (like 3 minutes long). I'm gonna share one, this one has the Pac-Man sound effect in it, lol.
Maybe, I do know once I changed the controls, I enjoyed the foot missions more. Corneria's foot mission is one of my favorites, mostly because of the plot twist that happens.
Movies Anywhere is cool, you make an account and link any streaming accounts you have (I have YouTube, iTunes/Apple TV, and Vudu for me). Whenever I add one of the codes from my DVDs, it adds the movies to those accounts too, so I can watch it anywhere on any device. Digital won't replace DVD and Blu-Rays for me, but I do like using Movies Anywhere for the digital codes that come with them. Yeah, the Sonic 1 port was poor (despite I still like it for portable Sonic 1 in 2007) and Sega Smash Pack and Arcade Galaxy were decent IMO. I have all the Sonic GBA games, but did get some of their other games too. Pinball of the Dead was cool, being inspired by the arcade game, and Chu Chu Rocket was a great port, and Puyo Pop was a lot of fun. Even though it's not the greatest, Crazy Taxi: Catch A Ride was impressive as it had the Dreamcast game ported to the GBA. Same course layout and everything.
Me niether, you'd think the movie companies want more money from re-releases. Yeah, they always pop up with those two. Some movie theaters like doing a family movie series during the summer months. Usually for cheap too (I think Trolls World Tour was like $4 when I went).
Thanks, now I know that trick for F-Zero whenever I can play it on Wii U, SNES Mini, or Switch Online, lol. Yeah the barrel I had no idea on what to do until a family member showed me and my brother, then it just stuck with me.
Indeed. Yup, imagine bullying someone for liking a TV show that that person is also watching. Thankfully it didn't stop me from liking it. Once I was out of that school, I had a Rugrats shirt, so guess I won. On an old gaming forum, I use to be bullied for playing cartoon tie-in games, people told me to play stuff like Doom 3 and Half-Life... the irony, I played Doom 3 and Half-Life, lol. There's no rule saying I have to play only M-rated games, I can like cartoon based games too. Especially being into cartoons.
@Sunsy Same; theaters are a different atmosphere, plus I actually prefer few distractions when I'm watching movies. Hence another reason why I tend to go on Tuesdays. They don't seem to be very busy even with the discount. Plus it's rare I see movies the week they release. I'm glad you enjoyed watching Trolls Band Together! That's really cool that you went to a historic theater to watch Trolls World Tour. Classic theaters can be fun too; there was a single house theater near where I grew up that was restored and now shows modern movies. The pricing is still pretty reasonable too. The only drawbacks are they don't have movies too long - usually a week or two unless it's held over - since it's only one screen, and they also don't have many showtimes compared to a normal theater.
I haven't been to one since I went to see Inside Out 2 though. I thought about watching the new Deadpool movie with Wolverine, but it's one I can wait on for now.
Indeed, the theater experience is always great. Thanks, I still think about the early access showing of the movie to this day. Yeah, when my friend and I found the theater, we thought it was a nice little theater, then I was surprised by the history behind it. It may be small, but I want that theater to stick around. 1926 is almost 100 years ago. It only closed down once to replace carpeting. Wow a one screen theater. The one I went to only had five theaters. Probably had one screen at one point, then added five of them.
Cool, I hope you enjoyed Inside Out 2. My friend and I both loved it, especially my friend being a hockey fan. He enjoyed the hockey moments a little too much.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@Sunsy I loved Chip ‘n’ Dale a lot, maybe my favorite cartoon duo after I watched the Rescue Rangers film and show. Super endearing and charming. I love rodents a lot, so it’s no surprise here!
I do get super worried and anxious over what impressions I leave in text, since it’s sometimes hard to tell the tone someone is speaking in since there is no actual talking or sound to convey emotion or tone, so I sometimes tend to edit messages a ton to sound nice and respectful, like a lot, even old ones because some more info pops into my mind. Sometimes I edit it to fix the comment and make it sound kinder if I come off as a bit rude, but also to add more info and rewording stuff to make it less wordy and excessive. I have a bad tendency to write long walls of text like these lol. It’s a habit of mine to keep going on and on and on when I chat with people on here. It’s one of my favorite things, and I am a bit surprised some people here take the time to read my long messages and respond to them. Usually on other places on the internet if you write lengthy responses no one responds or goes “I’m not reading all that.”
I’m not into one of your other conversations and I don’t know the context, but bullying people just because they don’t play “cool” M-rated games and just like to play fun kiddy games and movie tie-in games instead is lame. It’s fine to like both or prefer one over the other (I think there are some other users on this site who like kiddy and tie-in games over M-rated or popular games) but it just feels like some games are put on pedestals by gaming communities and forums (not the ones on this site, to clarify) and if you don’t like or play them, they always get on you for it, when it isn’t a requirement to play M-rated games, or games that get onto “the greatest games of all time” lists. It’s not nice or fun to pick on others for not having the same tastes as you. It’s so lame.
I’m not into playing movie and cartoon tie-in games, usually I play games that work with original gaming IPs and worlds, but I have tried a few tie-ins that I did find fun and something to laugh at. I remember that when me and my brother still had a PS4, we played a tie-in Ratatouille game they put on PlayStation
Plus I believe and we were laughing our butts off at a ton of stuff that happened in the game. I can remember this part where you are being chased by the old lady with the gun outside and running from her and it was so funny. I am sure we did have fun playing it. Plus, some tie-in games are so fun and well-made, like that tie-in game they made for The Lego Movie, plus there have been a ton of other Lego games that are fun too and although I haven’t played it, a lot of people say The Simpsons: Hit and Run is one of the best tie-in games ever made, I remember watching a video on it that sung its praises and it was entertaining. I think tie-in games have a very poor reputation unfortunately compared to games using original properties, mostly from the fact that a lot of tie-in games aren’t made with much effort, and it seems that the reception those games get bury a lot of the well-made and good ones, so a bunch of people instantly think that, if it’s a tie-in game, then it’s garbage, and if it’s an original game it’s good.
I mostly play E-T rated games, but of course a few M-rated games too.
@Zuljaras Yep. I still play 3 on a regular basis. I tried the mobile game a few years ago it was ok but to be honest it made me want to play HoMM 3 more then anything.

@Zuljaras Is that that mod I keep hearing about? If it is I am afraid not I just have the original complete edition that GoG has. I had it years ago on disc and still own I just don't have a disc drive on my laptop.

Wanted to say hi! Haven’t been active on forums for a bit, especially yesterday. I need to stop procrastinating and change my avatars to something cool lol. How is everyone doing? What did you all do today?
I had a great day yesterday and a currently great one right now! It’s the afternoon where I am, and I’m excited for the nighttime when I can relax. Yesterday, I ate a lot. Earlier we ate at Jack in the Box, and later we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant, which was a first time for me. I got a pho that was a seafood combination, and if I can remember, it had crab meat, fish cake, shrimp, fish filet, and calamari, alongside noodles! Alongside that, I got a delicious Thai iced tea, and we had an appetizer that had shrimp and rice paper rolls. I have tried calamari and shrimp (albeit at different non-Vietnamese restaurants) but not the other food they had in there. They gave me a nice plate of bean sprouts and jalapeños to put in there. After we treated ourselves to frozen yogurt. The pho tasted good, but oh my goodness I couldn’t finish it. I got a regular bowl, but it was way, WAY too big, and I sadly could only eat all the seafood in there and could not get to finishing the broth or remaining noodles without feeling sick and needing to throw up, so I left it half-eaten, and I feel sad I did, but I have a bad tendency to always want to eat everything when I’m served a big plate or bowl of food even if I can’t finish it, cuz I don’t want to waste delicious food or upset anyone, even if I might feel sick and need to throw up after.
Months ago we went to another restaurant, and I got a ton of food, and I was able to finish all the food, but I felt slightly sick upon finishing. I think I got a really random combo of sweet potato with brown sugar and a plate of chicken tenders. I’m sure I ate another dish there alongside those two, but the sweet potato was sickening by the end. Probably one of the worst feelings from eating food.
Today I went to Daiso, which is a dollar store in Japan that sells a variety of high quality products at low prices. They are from Japan, but here in America there is a good amount of them. There are multiple Japanese dollar stores like Seria and Can Do (though the latter sounds like they want to expand overseas) Daiso is the only major Japanese dollar store to have shops in America. I’ve gone to American Daiso multiple times, mostly for their art materials. This time I got a big sketchbook, a bit of fluorescent gel pens, a new pair of socks, a red bean bun, and small sheets of Kent paper for drawing. I had to resist myself from buying a lot of gel pens, since I’ve been obsessed with those a lot in my art recently, and I’ve been making attempts to splurge on art materials less.
I have yet to try the other stuff, but I ate the bun earlier and it was great. Red bean buns are popular snacks in Japan, and it’s also popularized by a famous and long-running children’s series called Anpanman, since the main character is a superhero with a red bean bun as a head.
Despite the low price, all of Daiso’s products I have gotten are quality, even more quality than American dollar stores like Dollar Tree.
If I remember, in the past I have gotten alcohol markers, pencils, erasers, a ruler, and lots of paper from there in the past, though the Daiso I went to didn’t have much art materials as I thought it would. All Daiso’s have the same or similar products, but they don’t always have the same items. However, Daiso has a lot of other items that are not art, like socks, organizing containers, make-up, cleaning supplies, toys, and snacks imported from Japan. If you have a Daiso near where you live, I’d recommend visiting it and buying something there. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the quality. Dollar Tree does have art supplies, but they are more on the cheaper side in terms of quality, and while most of the stationary I have gotten from there works mostly fine, I remember getting a set of pens and one of them had ink and it didn’t work at all when I tried to write with it. Sometimes the pen tips get clogged too, so I’d recommend Daiso way more for some stuff like that.
I watched Harold & the Purple Crayon movie yesterday and it was... really cringey movie. 😑
To see the whole storyline about Harold looking for the old man (narator) in real world looked so terrible.
I didn't react at all, keep having poker face and sometimes cringey face during watching.
Bad movie I guess, anyway it was 4 from 10 in my opinion.
Also, when I watched the movie, I didn't see any kids watching, just very very few adult peoples who have curiosity to watch Harold & the Purple Crayon.
I was thinking that franchise was not appeal for kids nowadays, maybe only appeal for current adult who have ever experienced with that franchise when they were young.
@Sunsy I'm a bit of a history nerd, so I enjoy learning about older buildings and what all they were used for. I like visiting them too - within reason. I'm not going to enter a condemned structure that's about to fall down with the next big wind lol. Nearly 100 years...that's pretty good for a building on the North American continent. There's another one-screen theater in the town I work in that was restored at one point, but it's currently not in use. It has changed ownership more than once and was in the process of being restored before repairs had to stall out again due to rising costs.
I really enjoyed Inside Out 2. The film team really did their homework on psychology and human emotions as we currently understand them. I'm no expert, but I've had some exposure to the field. How Riley calmed herself down during her panic attack through grounding and controlled breathing is how one would handle that situation in real life.
@Pastellioli Daiso sounds like a great store, though I've never heard of it. I went to their site and searched it...the closest location to me is in Texas. Not a short drive at all.
I never used the Twitter/X app at all, just the website. And half the time I only navigated there through article links from sites like NL. The site has changed a lot over the last few years. It was never great in my opinion, but it's gradually becoming worse. I don't visit the site at all. Now if only I could fully ban my eyeballs from Reddit. I don't have an account, but the site can still be a rabbit hole.
Console wars....While I certainly acknowledge there are pros and cons to every modern gaming platform - though the importance of features can vary based on the individual - I don't think needless arguing is beneficial. Xbox and PS are usually beating each other up constantly, while primary PC users are on cloud nine (I've ran into a few uppity PC master race types, but most are chill) and Nintendo is happily doing their own thing in another corner. Sounds like the comparison with Metroid Dread was what I call an apples to tomatoes comparison. Both are basically fruits but have very different culinary uses.
I don't think I have anything to add regarding the "bad" song account, other than I agree with you regarding jumping to conclusions. The account owner is entitled to their opinions, but that doesn't mean one opinion necessarily leads to another.
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
I can’t go into Daiso if I expect to have money later. There are 3 near me so I have to practice restraint.

@Tyranexx Ouch, got a bad 502 gateway error, saved the text on my phone but half of it got cut off, so now I need to rewrite it.
All the stuff Daiso sells is so appealing. I would have gotten more stuff yesterday, but I needed to restrain myself lol, so I only bought five items. Too bad that there isn’t any close to where you live. I think you’d like it. The Daiso I went to was in a different city. They are building one where I am, but they haven’t yet finished it sadly. And an update on those gel pens: I tried them, and they suck. They suck SO BAD and are so streaky. Might have gotten a bad batch. Looks like that comment I made on Dollar Tree gel pens being worse than Daiso was wrong. I still love Daiso though, but maybe I won’t buy gel pens from there again…
Oh, Reddit. Oof, that’s a site I never have downloaded but regularly visit on the web like I did with Twitter. I only visit maybe five or six communities, mostly related to movies and games, and I’ve always found the ones with the least active members to be the ones with the most amount of respect and sanity since of course, there isn’t a ton of people. It’s the biggest ones that are the worst. I’m fine with different interests and opinions, if someone has differing opinions than me I don’t mind it and respect it, but some (not all, I know there are some good people on Reddit) of the people on there have really questionable and weird (not in a good way) interests and opinions that can also be harmful, and I think Reddit has been notorious for having that since moderation is bad on there apparently, and a lot of the time it seems the users there are at war with the moderators and insulting each other unfortunately. I think that Reddit has been riddled with controversies, and I’ve heard of subreddits that are based on super awful, revolting, and hateful subjects that I probably can’t list or mention here from how strange they are. Some promote very dangerous and bad behavior and views that are very harmful…
The only subreddits I visit are N64, anime, gaming, movies, television, entertainment, Xbox, Project Sekai (a subreddit for a rhythm game I play) and occasionally Nintendo Switch, and out of all of them, I’ve found the N64 and Sekai subreddits to be the best attitude wise, since they have a small amount of active members. I find the N64 one to be so fun, given I love retro gaming and the community there is very dedicated and passionate about retro game collecting. I saw a ton of awesome game collections on there, and someone on there recently showed a small Conker-themed N64 display they had, I’ll show the link if you want.
It made me very happy seeing a few Conker fans on there of course XD. The Sekai subreddit is focused on being pretty goofy and random, and I have laughed a bit when scrolling on there. Most of the other subreddits I listed aren’t bad from what I’ve seen, I’ve found them to be good too, but I avoid the super big and controversial ones. It just seems to be a lot of arguing and division on there. I also used to visit a gaming leaks and rumors subreddit a TON, but I stopped going on there after what happened in June with the two leakers.
I don’t like console wars at all, it’s fine to prefer one console over another, but I don’t like it when it gets to the point where people name-call and troll each other to try and one-up, and seem like they are the smartest. That thing you brought up about the console users is accurate. A lot of people have summed it up like that too. PlayStation and Xbox users always seem to try and one-up and troll each other (sadly) and Nintendo and PC users seem to be really chill and do whatever. I haven’t come across any Nintendo and PC users who act troll-y. A lot of the PlayStation and Xbox trolling is centered on pointing out small details in each others games and complaining about it. I remember this tweet that did the rounds on Twitter once where someone was complaining about I believe these fruits in a Halo game not breaking or getting damaged when shot at, and I saw the theme of the gaming account and realized it was a troll post. I wasn’t into Xbox and the time and I rarely gamed on the PlayStation we had, but it still seemed super annoying, and unfortunately the intent of the tweet was achieved; to work people up and make them prone to arguing. I don’t know what you get out of trolling people. What you do get however is a bunch of people not liking you.
