2025 checkpoint (2/8/25):

Currently working on moving out of my house. I still live with my parents. I want to go out and be the full me. Right now I'm navigating through my financial life, working towards better pay and more money.

Currently playing Mario and Luigi Brothership. I'm on Lottsacoins Island. Been enjoying it so far. I've also been playing Monster Hunter Rise, but I've taken a step back from that game. After I finish one of the two, I plan on going back and continuing Zelda Phantom Hourglass. I'm strangely committed to finishing that game.

2025 commitments:
Plan on moving out, like I said before. I also am going to play Metroid Prime 3 and Federation Force before 4. I'm also going to play Layton's Mystery Journey, especially if New World of Steam ACTUALLY comes out this year. I want to get a functional ps3 to play games like Armoured Core (ps1 and For Answer), the original Klonoa, the Mega Man Legend games, other games I might find. And I should probably play more of my Wii U backlog. Not a conquering "backlog" person, but I've got the GBA Klonoas, 4 Kirbys, 2 Zeldas (including Minish Cap, which I've heard is amazing), and more. I'll at least get to Prime 3 on Prime Trilogy.

2025 Hopes:
Want to see Prime 2 and 3 Remastered happen, and Layton and the New World of Steam to come out and be good.

Love y'all and God bless!

@konicstar Huh. Nice update! Good luck with moving out!
Dunno your prior experience with games. For Klonoa, I played the more recent collection. But I also have the pair of GBA games on Wii U eshop. Never played Prime 3? I still have the preview channel from when it first released!
Should mention about Minish Cap, it's pretty much the only LoZ game to have permanent missables that don't rely on online. Having said that, don't feel too pressured to go after all of them. Enjoy the game your first run for sure!
I've still gotta finish Federation Force, as well as Tri Force Heroes.. And I've got a ps3 which I intend to get more stuff for for similar reasons.
MH Rise is something I've still gotta play. Broship was impressive, if a bit linear, and with a slow start. Phantom Hourglass is neat btw! I only played my bro's copy, and only once. If not for the fact there aren't more than two saves, I'd play it again!

Haven't posted on here in while. The reason for that is because I moved to a small island, where we have been for a whole year without wi-fi. The result of this is that I get out the house slightly more, to the library, and youth clubs and the like. Still don't really have any friends though.

At the moment, I am on holiday, which means I don't have a data limit or a time limit on the wi-fi. I've been catching up on some anime that I can't get on blu-ray or DVD, and updating a bunch of games that need updates. Hopefully this time I remember to redownload the Mega Man legacy collections.

Anyway, it's been kind of rough at home, because we moved to a cold, damp house with asbestos and woodlice up the wazoo and no central heating. Everyone's been kind of miserable, tonnes of arguments. To avoid these arguments I've been hiding in my room lots. It's all quite miserable.

I've finished watching a couple of anime recently, Yu Yu Hakusho, which I've had for ages, and Revolutionary Girl Utena, which I got 2 weeks ago (I love the music, the lyrics are so stupid). I played a game called Sunless Sea at the end of last year, and was immediately thrust into the depths of an existential crisis from which I have not yet recovered, so that's also not good.

But still, it's nice to have central heating, wi-fi, and comfortable chairs.

I just tried to sigm into my nintendo account through web browser, and I am told I need to verify my email address linkefd with the account(it uses a verification code). I already verified this email when I first set up my nintendo account years ago. I can sign into my nintendo account via switch just fine. Is this a scam, have I been hacked?

Destiny, justice and retribrution will be mine.

@DannyBoi Probably not. It's not unusual for websites or other services to ask you to verify that it's you when you sign in on a new device, or one that you haven't used for a while. It's not so much to verify the email address, rather to verify that it's actually you using the different device by proving you have access to the email.

@Mariotag I think Netflix is the one that seems to be getting so many price hikes, kind of like Game Pass. I remember a few days or weeks ago Netflix increased the prices for their tiers. I thought it was great back then, but when the streaming wars began in 2019 and a bunch of licensed movies/shows from companies like Disney were removed, that’s when I started to lose interest. Most of what I watched on there was licensed content, and the only Netflix original show I watched in recent years was Arcane.

I see with the games. Similarly, I use an emulator, but only for N64 games that haven’t been re-released on modern platforms, but it’s been a while since. The only one I played was DKR, but I never finished it and the way the game played without a controller was frustrating. I was going to play DK64 at some point after replaying the Banjo and Conker games last year, but if I’m being honest I don’t have much interest in playing it, and I’m not into platformer games at the moment.

What movies do you want to watch? I’m already running out of YT films to watch but it’s also probably because I don’t watch a bunch of genres besides comedy and fantasy. YouTube movies has a good selection of well-known movies, hidden gems but also some mediocre and bad movies, but I think the good stuff outshines the bad. Though, there were a few animated movies I saw on YT recently that I thought weren’t good, mostly with the characters being poorly written or unlikable.

The only times I had trouble with Disney+ was the WiFi. The old internet was garbage…It’d disconnect whenever it felt like it and it would take minutes to get back on, but I think that was worse when I played online games since you can get penalized even if the disconnect is unintentional.

Switch was way faster with downloading games in my experience. Even when my Xbox had a lot of space, some games took too many hours to download, and it’s strange since the Switch I used had limited space. I don’t know if it has to do with the space of the games I download (usually I downloaded Overwatch 2, which is a hefty 70 GB) but since I’m mostly a solely Xbox user it’s pretty annoying.

I see! Well, I hope that when your birthday comes it’s a good one

@Pastellioli Yup. Can relate. Didn't know there was another price hike. I do watch a bunch of stuff, but not as often on netflix..

For N64 emulation, I find a controller is essential. I do tend to play fan content for more than official content in that regard though. I'd recommend DK64 at some point, but only if you have a way to play it well. I personally use an Xbox One controller.

In terms of youtube movies, the American release of the Digimon movie, just to see it, Secret of Nimh, All Dogs go to Heaven, and I think Millenium Dragon or something.

Yeahh, in my experience, it was just buggy and messed up.
And yeah. Being penalized for disconnecting sucks! It's almost like the big companies don't care about anyone without access to top notch internet.

Switch is waaayyyyy faster than Xbox or PSN. Genshin decided to start an update yesterday, I took a single glance, and while the numbers were too blurry to fully make out, it looked like 70+ hours.... A basic update should never take that long. Switch meanwhile, I just leave it in the background for a couple hours tops, and it's done.

Yeah, I'm hoping my birthday will be good! I've sent some courtesy invites to ppl I know can't make it, just cause I want 'em to know that I would invite them were things more reasonable. Anyways, just a bit over a week left.

@Mariotag Netflix is the one I hear that has gotten so many price hikes constantly. It doesn’t sound worth the price anymore in my opinion, and the library seems to have gottes uninteresting besides a few movies and shows.

From what I’ve played in DKR, an actual controller is necessary. I hear there’s techniques for driving that can only be executed well if you have the controller. Maybe I’ll play DK64 at some point when I go back to platformers, but right now I’m into rhythm games and hero shooters.

I saw All Dogs Go to Heaven and Secret of NIMH. Both are fantastic! I was surprised by how YT offered a few anime movies for free and even some iconic ones, namely Hunter x Hunter and Ghost in the Shell films, but I didn’t see them, though I saw other anime movies. For that, I saw Paprika, The House of the Lost on the Cape and The Wonderland.

That sucks since I think Disney+ has a pretty good selection of Disney content, at least when I last used it. Again, the WiFi was the only actual issue I really had with it. I know they split the sub into tiers and introduced ads for the cheapest, so that’s great…it was a big risk playing games with that bad WiFi. 50/50 chance you’ll stay connected or disconnect, though some games did have bad online servers, like Overwatch when I last played it in December.

Took long to find matches (probably because Marvel Rivals was new and took half of Overwatch’s playerbase with them) and the servers disconnected me from matches. The heroes played badly with bad WiFi, because you could be shooting at an enemy but it takes seconds for the damage to register, or you get eliminated by opponents with better WiFi but it takes seconds for that to register on screen. The heroes lagged a lot and I’d describe the feel of the lag as being like they were being pushed around by an invisible force and couldn’t move properly. I didn’t have much fun with it when I replayed it because of that…

Yeah, I think the Xbox has worse download times compared to the Switch, but it’s only really for bigger games. But, I find game updates take longer for some reason than the actual game. The only games that download fast are my 360 games since those have low GB and some Xbone games, but it depends on the GB and games included.

Sounds exciting, I hope a lot of people go to your birthday! Birthdays are so exciting and one of the best things of the year.

@Pastellioli I like your new profile picture. Chip and Dale are adorable, haha! I used to watch Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers on Disney Channel when I was much younger as well.

I remember the crossover costumes in Super Mario Maker as well, especially the Hello Kitty one. My mom loves, loves, loves Hello Kitty, so it's a pretty memorable costume for me. I think there was a My Melody one too.

Actually it's just Mario Kart 8 that's a decade old. MK8's original Wii U release was in 2014, while New Horizons came out in 2020. NH is gonna be half a decade old this year... that's crazy! It took me many, many tries to finally beat the final boss in Octo Expansion. I don't think I finished every level in OE, I think I only left one level behind. The 8-ball levels were pretty hard for sure. I don't remember that OE had that box carving level, but I do remember there was one in Splatoon 3's base story mode.

Oh gotcha, no wonder I didn't hear about it until recently. I do know there's Grabbed by the Ghoulies, another game that Rare made. I wonder if that came before that survival horror game project? And while we're on the subject of that, Capcom was gonna make a horror game for the GBA that would make use of a special accessory, but they had trouble making it. They went on to make something totally different instead, which was the first Mega Man Battle Network game. Pretty interesting to see that MMBN essentially started development as a horror game, haha.

@Pastellioli Not just price hikes. With my parents separated, and me living at my dad's while my bro lives at my mom's, there was a fair bit of okay, one pays for this, the other pays for that. But uh. Netflix decided that wasn't acceptable. One account per location, or you get charged extra.

I'd say any given N64 game requires an actual controller. Too many buttons, as well as a need for an analogue stick. DKR is amazing, and imo, still holds up today as one of my two fave kart racers. DK64 was an incredible collectathon. Granted, it could use some QoL improvements, but regardless, there's much to like.

Yeah. I still haven't actually seen any movies on there. Digimon Adventure tri was on there at some point iirc.

The sub for Disney Plus was split into tiers too? Oml.... Yeah, they have lots of content.
Disconnections get to be too much at times.

Yup. I remember that kind of lag from the original Overwatch. Tbh, in spite of that, I should have played it more. The friends who wanted me to play it with them are now quite distant.

Yeah. Updates and full game downloads are a pain in general. Sony's PS is at least as bad as xbox.

Not likely for a bunch of ppl to come. Likely just family, and a couple friends, as usual. I just sent invites out to some friends I considered close enough, as well as one I want to try and mend things with after my disaster of a collection of social skills were on full display.

@MarioVillager92 Thank you! Yours is nice too! I changed mine because I was thinking about Rescue Rangers a bunch (especially the Disney+ movie). Binge watched the OG show for the first time after seeing the movie and Chip ‘n’ Dale became my favorite Disney characters! I was looking for a screenshot of a scene from Rescue Rangers but I couldn’t find one I wanted so I just stuck to a promotional image instead.

I can kind of remember there being a Hello Kitty costume. The ones I remember the most were the other Mario costumes, the Splatoon costumes, and the costumes for non-Nintendo characters (mainly Shaun the Sheep and Babymetal). The game had a pretty good selection of characters when it came to the costumes! It kind of added this nice crossover element to Mario Maker.

Time flies by so fast. I remember them announcing a new Animal Crossing game after Isabelle’s Smash reveal and wanting ACNH so much when they revealed more about it and having to get it digital since physical copies were sold out at every storefront since it was so big back then! So crazy it’s been almost five years. I don’t know how I managed to complete every OE level, but I know for sure I skipped them initially. The box statue levels were the worst, destroy one incorrect box and you instantly fail. The 8-ball ones were tricky but I think they were more manageable than the box carving levels. I think Splatoon 3’s story mode had only a few if I remember.

I think they did develop some gameplay (which the video showed off), but it was a rough or early version that was unfinished, but I wonder when they first conceptualized and pitched it, but from what it looked like as well as the concept art, it looked like it was maybe pitched in the mid 2000s, I know for sure it was pitched after Microsoft purchased them. Grabbed by the Ghoulies started being developed in 2000, so I’d assume the horror game was being developed after. Wow, that’s really, really interesting. Game development stories are one of the most interesting things ever. Was it another Resident Evil game or an original horror game at first?

@Mariotag I did hear about the password sharing thing Netflix did and how hated that move was. I didn’t know much about it because I never had to do so, but reading more about it now it sounds so awful they’d do that. Just makes Netflix seem not worth it anymore…

When I played some N64 games on NSO with the Pro Controller, the controls felt off at first and hard to play, so I get why the games control better with the OG controller. I did like what I played of DKR though I don’t know if I’ll actually finish it on the emulator because of the touchscreen controls. I’m waiting to see if they’ll announce an NSO port. That’s good about DK64, again, I’ll probably try to play it at some point this year maybe.

I think I saw the other Digimon tri movies besides the first film, but YT Movies removes movies unexpectedly since films I saw on there for free became buy or rent movies, but a couple have been on there for free for quite a bit.

It was from what I read, but I don’t know if they lock shows or movies behind subs, which I hope they don’t do... Also sucks is that they don’t do free trials anymore. Last time they did it was way back in 2020.

I didn’t experience much lag with Overwatch when I played it, but even with good internet Overwatch 2 is more laggy. Playing OW1 was fun, especially when it was at its peak in 2016-2019. Speaking of that, I’ve been listening to a catchy and once popular OW fan song called No Mercy and the MV makes me remember how different OW1 was; a few of the heroes had broken ultimates and attacks (especially Mercy), some specific heroes were too OP, the smaller character roster and map selection, 6v6, and the older character designs. I played a ton on PS4, and since we used to have two copies and two PS4s, I played with my dad and his friends. Good times but my OW1 data is gone and I had to start from scratch on the Xbox, but I feel like OW isn’t fun anymore, especially after trying Marvel Rivals yesterday.

I’ve experienced some of the PS4’s long download times and they were pretty annoying too. The Xbox Series S though? Kind of worser and weird since it’s a newer and stronger console despite how smaller it is.

I see. I hope your family and friends come over and have a good time, and that things go well between you and one of your friends.

@Pastellioli Yup. Netflix definitely made a power play or three.

I've yet to play anything NSO with a pro controller. I tried some games online, but it was never smooth enough to be truly worthwhile. Also, what N64 emulator uses a touchscreen? Don't think I've heard of one before.

You never saw the first Adventure tri? Tbh, I've only seen it all subbed. And yeah. Streaming services take stuff down. Live service DRM and all that.

Yeahhh. Disney Plus was a pain in my rear. Can't say I'm especially interested in subbing. If I had to pick a streaming service that I know wouldn't work, either crunchyroll for anime, or Paramount Plus for the Sonic stuff.

OW2 is more laggy? Yikes. Guess they don't especially care about quality control... In my case, yeah. I played OW1 a couple times in its glory era. But lag. In my case, played on PC at the insistence of a friend. Justice rains from above? Check. Ah need healin? Check. I've yet to consider Marvel Rivals.

Weird. Xbox downloads are worse than PSN downloads? That's nuts tbh.

Yeah. I'm hoping things go well too! It won't be all my immediate family at once, as there are rifts. But in due time... As for friends, I dunno who'd be able to make it. A lot of the invites I sent were to ppl I'm close to online, as a sort of formal "yes, I would absolutely invite you, but know you can't make it" kinda thing. The friend in question I'm having trouble with isn't necessarily even a friend anymore. He saw a deeper extent to my social issues and anxieties, and as a mutual put it, he was creeped out by it all. Honestly, I'm unsure which thing upset him, or if it's possible to make up. But I invited him in the hopes something good would come of it.

@Mariotag I always played NSO games using a Pro Controller. It was fine for the NES and SNES games but some N64 games played weird with the Switch button mapping and controls. I recall Banjo-Kazooie’s NSO controls with the Pro Controller feeling off and sorta awkward when I first played it. I used Delta for DKR. I might be misremembering if it had a touchscreen though, but the controls were tough to use, especially because of my phone screen being small.

I haven’t seen any of the tri movies at all or a lot of Digimon media besides the English dub of Digimon Adventure. It stinks that YT Movies took off movies from free with ads, but I think it’s to be expected since they probably negotiate the rights to have them on there for free temporarily. The only streaming service that doesn’t really remove stuff is Disney+, besides those few times they removed some licensed content, original films and shows for licensing issues and cost-cutting reasons and put them on other services like Amazon Prime.

I’m only interested in using it for Mickey Mouse and Chip ‘n’ Dale content since that’s all I’m thinking about right now. I agree with Crunchyroll a ton. Has a good library but awful interface and the ads don’t play and freeze, leading to me quitting out of the app a ton of times to fix it just so I can resume an episode. I knew Paramount+ was apparently buggy, but was it really bad with the Sonic movies specifically?

It was the last time I played it. I used to play OW1 a ton from 2016-2019 but then I dipped a year after they announced OW2. The gameplay is still fun and so are the characters, plus some of the new ones are fun to play as (especially Kiriko) but it doesn’t feel like a sequel, just feels the same but also a bit worse with the lag, awful battle pass, and slow matchmaking, and it makes me wonder if OW1 actually needed a sequel. I read OW2 is going back to its roots, bringing back loot boxes and 6v6 battles (through a test) plus the new heroes they revealed looked cool, but I’ll wait before playing again. My main issue was the lag and matchmaking that made the game so unplayable. Rivals is pretty fun, and it’s the most fun I’ve had with a hero shooter in a while. I need to play it more though.

Yep, Xbox downloads were far more worse than PS4 downloads from what I experienced. I’d have to wait hours for an Xbox game to download or wait the next day if I downloaded it late at night.

I see. Sorry about what happened between you and your friend and the status of your friendship. I am hoping he comes over so you can find a way to make up, and that your birthday goes well alongside that! It should be really fun hanging out with your family and a few friends. I don’t really have any actual friends to hang out with. I really think you’ll have an awesome birthday, and when the day comes, remember to enjoy yourself and have fun all day

Hello, how’s everyone’s Friday? Doing anything fun? Anything new? Playing any fun games? I just played some quick matches in Marvel Rivals and dang I’m loving it a bunch. Liking Squirrel Girl a ton more now! It’s the most fun I’ve had with an online game in a while, though it’s very tricky to attack some swift enemies up close. Got repeatedly killed by a Psylocke in a match I ultimately lost and Iron Fist is so hard to escape from when he starts punching at you. Not gonna do much for the rest of today besides doing more work and maybe a bit more gaming late at night but I’m not complaining! Hope all of you are having a good weekday (or weekend) and I hope you, your friends and your families are safe and blessed

@Pastellioli Okay, to start with, who's Squirrel Girl? After seeing FEH's Ratatoskr, can't help but be interested.

Huh. I didn't have a pro controller for the longest time. As for touchscreens, never liked playing retro games on phone.

Huh. So, no other Digimon stuff? Some of it's good, and OG Adventure dub (cause yes, they made a new dub recently) missed a fair few things. Though it's one of only three of the seasons I've not seen subbed yet. And yeah. Understandable for why things might be removed. Licensing can be a pain on the consumer end.

I might see additional stuff with Disney Plus. CR is a mess. And while I never saw movies outright on Paramount Plus, I did try the Knuckles series. It was hard to watch.

Yeah. Very little experience with OW here. Might give 2 a try on console sometime. Marvel Rivals has gotten quite popular.

Oh yikes. So Microsoft traditional L post 360 era. And big Sony L.

Yeah, likely not gonna happen with that dude. He saw a full dose of how bad my social skills can get. Silence? Prob the thing I react the worst to. Yet it's what he did. It does include being cut off too unfortunately. And, I really hope you can find some good friends locally! If not, erm, would you want to be mine? And there might be the remotest slim chance we live somewhat near each other?

@Mariotag She’s a Marvel character who’s a mutant with squirrel-like abilities and can interact with squirrels. She’s really fun in Rivals, and I love how playful she is in personality and how she plays, mainly from her giant prehensile tail she uses to bounce and her ultimate summoning a stampede of squirrels. I don’t really know much about her in the comics and she was one of the lesser known Marvel heroes, but after Rivals she became popular. She’s my favorite to play as but I need to try the other characters.

I did have a lot, including some wireless ones from Amazon, but all of them are unusable (one broke if I recall) and only one official Pro Controller doesn’t have stick drift. The games are still good but playing retro games on phone is not the best. I find some of the classic Sonic games are difficult to control since the touchscreen is right on the screen showing the gameplay and my fingers get in the way. I did enlarge the control buttons but it’s still not a perfect experience.

its been a decade since I last saw Adventure. I haven’t seen other Digimon media, but I could give the tri films a try, if they haven’t been taken off of YT Movies. I still found it strange Disney+ original movies got removed because it wasn’t from licensing and cost-cutting reasons, and although I barely watched a lot of Disney+ originals besides a few movies, it’s still annoying they hopped from one service to another.

Disney+ is the one streaming service out there that I think has an interesting library, probably because a lot of the shows and movies are recognizable for me. Netflix’s became uninteresting for me over time, and Crunchyroll works poorly for me despite the awesome anime library. I see, was it buggy or laggy when you tried watching it on Paramount+?

You should, although I haven’t played OW2 in a bit it’s still fun, it just has bad matchmaking on occasions, and it sounds like they’re now going in the right direction for OW2. You’ll probably like Kiriko a lot since she’s a kitsune-themed shrine maiden. Rivals is really popular! It’s really fun, and a worthy OW competitor in my opinion.

That’s unfortunate. It must hurt being cut off like that, but I’m still hopeful things can get better. I am fine, but I used to like being an introvert and staying inside a bunch but it makes me regretful since I have poor communication skills now and I need to get better at them! It’s kind of the reason why I made a Hookshot account so I can interact far more! The conversations I have had on here are so fun and they make me happy.

@Pastellioli Ah. Sounds like a must-try character. Now hoping Marvel Rivals is a free gacha style game so it doesn't cost anything to get... Already live service, so not much lost...

Yeah. Two pro controllers here. One busted in that trying to move forward, sometimes my character pulls a 180. And yeah, Sonic 1 was what I tried playing on mobile with a touchscreen. The experience royally sucked, which sucks cause mobile Sonic 2 is apparently the definitive uncut one.

Eh. 02 would come before tri. Tri's problems were more or less missed opportunities, and some ppl saw each movie as being done by a different person, so it didn't have the greatest plot. Including an ending that was apparently a tease for a project that never happened. Depressing as the ending was. Having said that, what it did do was pretty impressive. Disney Plus just isn't something I'm keen on.

I don't recall which one Paramount Plus was. Disney Plus was messed up for me, and I didn't have much I cared for on it honestly. Disney does have an impressive library though. Shame they feel some sort of inferiority to the Sonic movies, at least to the point they feel a need to sabotage. (Prsumably anyway) Netflix meanwhile still has stuff I want. And CR just sucks as an app. Maybe browser version is better?

Kiriko only kitsune themed. Sad. An actual kitsune would be nice. They could do a lot with that. Maybe someday on console. Maybe I'll play Rivals someday too. Am a bit worried about the price though.

Yeah. Unfortunately, my social skills and reactions make being cut off a frequent thing, especially online. Also, relatable. I always stuck with my games, and was sorta in a bubble most of my life, in the sense I was oblivious to whatever I wasn't focused on. Also, NL is now a Hookshot account? Didn't realize. Don't think I can comment on Time Extension with this though?
Dunno if things'll get better for me tbh. I can hope, but it's unlikely. Ultimately, OCD does stand for "Obsessive Compulsive Disorder", so me compulsively obsessing drives ppl away quite often.

@Mariotag She is a must-try if you play Rivals. She is pretty easy to learn too, hence why I play as her a lot. Rivals isn’t gacha themed or has any gacha mechanics and its it’s free-to-play. It’s super good!

It stinks, also because all the joy-cons for my Switch also drifted, so it’s only one actual good controller to use. Similarly, for my Xbox I only have two controllers, but one has stuck drift and the other doesn’t. The one with stick drift is awful to use when navigating the home menu, but it works fine when I’m playing hero shooters. Had to use it because for some reason my good controller wasn’t turning on. I’m surprised I was able to finish Sonic CD because the controls right on the screen were hard to use. I’m not liking it a lot with Sonic 1 and 2…

Oh, I see. Seems like each director had a different vision for the tri movies if the quality kind of went back and forth.

Again, I have experienced some issues with Disney+ and a few other services. Disney+’s library was the best out of all the other streaming services I used. Had plenty of good movies and shows that I gave a try, but I rarely watched its original content besides a few movies. I see, what do you want to watch on Netflix if you get it again? I wasn’t really into a lot of Netflix original content and I instead watched licensed shows and movies on there. Oh yeah, it stinks as an app so much, but I haven’t tried the browser version. Maybe I could and see if it’s better quality.

Actually, I should have mentioned her special has her summon a kitsune spirit that enhances attack speed and movement, so there is technically a kitsune there, but not quite. She was fun to play as, though I always had to swap between attacking and healing since she dual wields throwing knives and healing ofuda. Again, Rivals is free so you don’t need to worry about the price. Same for Overwatch too! Both are free and really fun.

I love games and fun stuff, but I think I focused on it too much for so many years it made my communication skills worse and I always forgot how to correctly react and act and talk to others, alongside staying inside for unhealthy amounts. Yeah, NL is a Hookshot account, you use the same account when commenting and using NL’s sister sites Push Square, Pure Xbox and Time Extension. I initially thought the accounts were all separate when I made mine.

Sorry you feel that way…I can feel like that sometimes and not think things will be better, but it’s still good to believe and have hope that things will get better. Believing and dreaming make me feel better, especially since I’m a very negative person. Just imagining stuff makes me more happier, and one day, all the good stuff will happen.

The Ai bros on this site are making me no longer want to use this site all that often. As an artist myself, it genuinely hurts seeing all these people who boast about how "Ai is progress," and that I need to "learn Ai as a skill" if I don't want to be obsolete. It hurts that even this place isn't safe from monsters like them.
