I curious to see Fantasy Life I when the game only have physical release for Japanese version but with English support so I assume the game will have Japanese dub but the text can be switched to English, similar case as Atelier Marie Remake.
I wonder if Level-5 will release the Asia English version (Region 3) for Fantasy Life I as well.
@Anti-Matter I'm pretty sure the game isn't going to have voice acting, so there's not going to be much of a difference between the Japanese and English releases aside from the text.
"It is fate. Many have tried, yet none have ever managed to escape it's flow."
@Pastellioli Awesome! No gacha AND free to play?? Definitely wanna try it. Might have to wait for better internet though.
Ohh. I've had to send my left joycon in multiple times for drift. Actually doing it again soon for something different, but with both a spare, and an assurance the repair will be free anyway. Was surprised the person on the phone recognized me as a longtime consumer. My sister's the one with the messed up Xbone controllers. And my new pro controller has yet to be truly tested.
Yeahhh. Tri was a little weird. It absolutely had potential, being the first new adventure for the OG cast in over a decade. They ended up having a contrived plot point specifically to keep the newcomers of 02 out of the way. It did bring back a character trait or two that should've been moved past though. Having said that, the ending was just... Well, not as upsetting as Last Evolution Kizuna, but still. And tri itself expanded on a number of things sorta briefly brought up in the OG.
Honestly, don't care about Disney Plus rn besides the Spiderman movies, and Avenger movies, as well as stuff like Toy Story 4. Netflix has some movies and ongoing series I watch. Seven Deadly Sins, and its sequel, I saw Stone Ocean on there (Jojo part 6), and finally finished The Dragon Prince. Which might have more. For some weird reason. Ni No Kuni movie, Dragon Quest movie, some live action stuff, alternative ways to watch some series. The list goes on. And yeah. Browser can be nice. In my case, I use ublock origin with firefox, for security reasons cause there's too many dangerous sites with malicious ads. But it has the bonus (read, detriment to streaming services that rely on ads), of blocking ads on basically any videos in the browser.
Heh. If only the kitsune could do more. I'm a fan of kitsune having shapeshifting/transforming powers, and foxfire especially. The best superpower is ultimately the ability to use any of them at any given time. Nice they're free.
I made my account long before Hookshot. Maybe even before NL was called NL. Nice to know it works with the others. And in my case, I am inside for unhealthy amounts of time regardless. If anxiety has me mostly trapped in my room, I wanna make more of it. But prior to this, I was just in a sort of social/mental bubble. It was almost as if the outside world didn't exist. Someone could be screaming right next to me, and I would legitimately not notice. So I'm glad I broke out of that, with extensive help from a certain friend, and some family, but also bothered by it, cause I became more aware of my environment, which escalated the anxiety.
Yeah, well, I'm pretty sure the "friend" has me muted on yt ever since I asked about making up. In his public comments. Like an idiot. Kinda similar to the reason I got twitter blocked. He was making posts about being lonely, and some con he wanted to go to. So, seeing as we were previously planning on visiting in person, I suggested we get together, without paying mind to the fact it was basically a public post. Still dunno why he didn't respond for months prior though.... Dunno what's left to do except give up. I certainly wouldn't wanna give me another chance after how persistent and stupid I've been.
@Mariotag I did wait quite a bit to play Rivals especially because of my WiFi quality, but the game is really good! Definitely try it when you have the time to.
I think one of the causes of our Joy-cons and Pro Controllers drifting was dust buildup on the controller sticks, but even when we cleaned it up the controllers still malfunctioned, so I think most of it came from excessive use, but I hear about how Joy-cons don’t have the best control sticks. I am worried my good Xbox controller will begin drifting since it’s been used quite a bit and is the only one of the two that doesn’t have drift.
Oh, I see, so the tri movie was kind of mediocre and not the greatest? That’s a bit disappointing. A question, which Digimon show or movie is considered the best? I’m curious since I’ve only seen Adventure.
I see, I have seen some of the Marvel movies on Disney+ (both the MCU movies and some of the non-MCU Spider-Man movies) but I’m not super into Marvel and superheroes, but I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m just more into fantasy. I’m more interested in using Disney+ for Mickey Mouse & Friends shows and shorts that I can watch when I’m bored, and I have a few in mind that I’m gonna watch when I get Disney+ soon.
I’ve heard of a couple of those shows and movies you mentioned, but there was a Dragon Quest movie? I haven’t heard of that! I think some streaming services and sites work better on a different browser. Google Chrome I find runs sites better than the Safari browser I tend to use, so maybe Crunchyroll will run better on Chrome.
I think they should have had some of the yokai elements for Kiriko be more prominent, especially because her abilities are more spiritual compared to the rest of OW’s cast, and it would have been cool if the kitsune was used more besides being an ultimate that appears for a brief time. The shapeshifting aspects of kitsune and folklore/supernatural are so interesting and fun, and I think it’s why I like fantasy a ton out of all the many genres out there.
I only heard of NL I want to say back in 2020. Followed their articles for a few years as a guest and made an account almost a year ago. Yeah, it helps a lot too and is super convenient since all the changes you make to your account are reflected on all sites and you can manage it easier, but I didn’t know that you use the same Hookshot account across all their game sites until I tried changing my avatar on PX and saw it change on NL too.
I usually don’t like being inside all the time. Used to like it but now I find myself getting bored, especially after seeing how much it ruined my communication skills over time. While I like being outside, I think some of my bad communication skills show, like sometimes being unaware and being slightly nervous when I have to talk to someone that isn’t my family. But, I still think it’s better than me being inside and letting my communication and social skills worsen, since what I’m doing outside is helping me get comfortable with being more social.
Wait, so he muted you on YouTube and multiple sites because you wanted to make up with him and fix things and he made it public with his comments? That’s really unnecessary for him to do, I wouldn’t make something like that public. I’m really sorry, getting blocked and muted by someone you know must be very frustrating and sad…but, I still don’t think you should give up with reconciling and hoping. Sometimes it may seem that something good isn’t going to happen, but it’s not impossible at all, and it could just be taking a while. I’ve felt like that before but it will happen. And don’t put yourself down or insult yourself, it’ll make you feel really bad. I’ve done that way too much and it really ruins me a lot.
@Pastellioli Eh. Wifi here is miserable. So I'm not exactly hurrying to get it downloaded, and start an endless chain of updates. For reference, the average Genshin Impact update takes about two and a half days.
Tri wasn't a single movie. It was a collection of six movies, that originally released in the west via Crunchyroll, as a collection of, I think 26 episodes. As for your question, ironically, the series considered the best is the OG Adventure series. Where the movie that's considered the best, I'm not as sure of, but there's a reason the creator of Bokura War Game (Our War Game) basically remade the essence of the story into a feature film, albet under a different brand. (Mamoru Hosoda is a popular animation person now, Digimon anime was in part, his work at first.)
Eh. There is some simple home fix for joycons I don't really recall. But yeah. I do get the sense that recent generations of controllers have all had stick drift. I had it on my ps4.
Yeah, I'm more into fantasy too, but gotta admit, Infinity War was a big deal, as was Endgame. And te trailers for Spider-Man No Way Home had me very interested. Same time, there aren't actually many Disney original series or characters that particularly catch my interest.
Yes. Dragon Quest Your Story. There are absolutely shows I haven't mentioned as well. Speaking of, I'm still very salty that Edens Zero got Netflix for season 1, but could not have season 2 dubbed because Netflix has some arrangement.. Not that I'm thrilled by some of the content the series has mind you! I mostly just use Firefox. Prefer it in general.
Ohhh yes. I wholeheartedly agree about having more of the yokai elements for her character! That would make her an instant pick for me. Though I wonder how much of her character is yokai? And yes. Shapeshifting is quite interesting! Unfortunately, it is rare that it's portrayed in the way I originally came to like it for.
My introduction to NL was during the Wii era. Prior to a merger, it was called Virtual Console Reviews. The place you could look at any released VC game to see how it stood up, help make your decisions. Still recall a couple of the staff from back then, not that I was really active. In terms of commenting anyway.
Yeah. I can imagine. There is added stuff to do outside as well. Unfortunately, I'm messed up in that regard.
Uh, no. I made it public in a very stupid, poorly thought out move or two. Not really his fault at all. I also proooobably should have mentioned my issues that come up when silence is deafening, largely involving anxiety and compulsions driving me to do the exact opposite of what's socially acceptable. Which uh. It happened again between the last pair of comments. With someone else.
I can understand what you mean by putting myself down ruining me. I lived through it myself. Prior to 2015, I was generally happy and assertive. But upon accepting an invitation to a forum run by a group of teenagers...that changed. Drastically. Lots of stuff went up all at once, both online and off. Betrayals, realizations, and it all came down to me blaming myself and getting depressed. I only relatively recently started getting out of that depression. It isn't gone yet though, and because of how incredibly many people and groups have tossed me aside, usually for either my depression, or exceptionally poor to the point of toxic social skills, I've become rather pessimistic. The opposite of how I once was. Most of my friends have moved away offline, and online, the vast majority of my original groups have either moved on, leaving me behind, or been bothered by me. At this point, I want a miracle for my life in general. Cause at the moment, pretty much all I really can do without suffering a decent bit is gaming and anime.
Cor blimey! (Barbella Dragon Quest shout)
I have reached chapter 4 on Dragon Quest Builders, the final chapter.
The place is so.... Dead and Creepy. 😨
Chapter 4 looked really tough with almost everything dead and very limited items to survive.
Let's see if I can survive in chapter 4.
@Mariotag I also wasn’t in a rush to download Rivals because of WiFi but it’s better now. I’m glad I waited, since I can’t tell you how annoyed I’d be if the WiFi kept disconnecting me from matches like when I was playing OW2 around the time Rivals came out. Bad internet really prolongs simple game updates, forgot about that. Another thing I don’t like about bad internet.
I knew there were more Tri movies (I saw two of them listed on YT) but I didn’t know they were originally Crunchyroll releases. I see, I had a feeling Adventure was popular but I didn’t know people said it was the best out of all the Digimon animes. Now that I recall, I also watched Digimon Tamers since Netflix had that listed at one point with Adventure.
I think my stick drift can be fixed, but I don’t know other remedies besides checking for dust underneath the sticks and cleaning it thoroughly. I’ll find some but I still think the drift is from excessive use and accidentally dropping controllers on the floor. I did that too much with one of my Xbox controllers on accident.
Haven’t seen the Avengers movies but I see how much of an impact they had, especially Endgame from the memes and clips online. I’m sure my siblings watched it but I didn’t. The only MCU movies I watched were the Black Panther movies, Captain Marvel, Civil War, Quantumania, some of Eternals, as well as the show WandaVision. Disliked Quantumania a lot, it had bad writing, an inconsistent tone that went back and forth between serious and lighthearted and stupid jokes that were so unfunny. But, my siblings watched more MCU stuff than me so they know the universe far more.
It’s strange I never heard about Dragon Quest having a movie but I heard about the Ni No Kuni movie on there years ago. About Edens Zero’s seasons, it sounds like licensing issues. It’s so annoying when I got on Netflix and see they only have a single season of one show. It reminds me, they had the OG Yo-kai Watch series on there at one point burnYo-kai Watch has more anime series and films but Netflix had season 1 of the anime instead of all 3 seasons and only the first movie, but I’d have to assume it’s because that was the only one out of the five movies to have a dub. They stopped dubbing the anime in English after the first show and movie, also because Yo-kai Watch wasn’t doing too well in the West, though they kept releasing the games in English until 2019.
The yokai/supernatural elements Kiriko has mainly comes from her spiritual healing ofuda, her purification suzu to remove negative effects inflicted by enemies (kind of like exorcising bad spirits), her teleportation ability and the kitsune she summons in her ultimate, as well as some alternate skins she has that have more prominent folklore and spiritual elements. I still really like her design, and it’s kind of a mixture of shrine maiden and modern wear, though I also like her other skins like Athleisure and Matsuri.
I heard about how NL had a different name prior and it was VC-centric. How different was it back then? The only remnants I see of the older site are the threads made in the 2000s and some of the users that made those threads being inactive for decades, plus a lot of the comments I see on old articles have 0 likes, which implies that they didn’t have a like and dislike button.
Sorry, I misread and misinterpreted! Again, super sorry. I see. Sometimes my thoughts with worrying can also make me do actions and have good intentions that turn out wrong or make me more stressed out around others.
I felt I was happier back then but it wasn’t until a few years back I got pessimistic, but also more worried and a perfectionist, mainly coming from mistakes I made that upset others and wanting to do well in everything. But it led to me always getting upset when I mess up with anything (including fun stuff like drawing), having bad thoughts about the future, often times second-guessing myself, hoping for a day to go well and it doesn’t, and some weeks feel like there full of misses rather than wins. And so it led to me making self-deprecating comments that made my self-esteem worse and discussing negative topics with others without realizing until someone points it out, but it could also be from the games and media I see and consume that make me that way, but it’s mostly on me. I’m trying to get better at being kinder to myself, but I occasionally slip a negative comment or two about myself without knowing, and sometimes I feel like any positive comments I make about myself are biased and lies.
That doesn’t sound good about the forum. Some forums online can be pretty toxic, especially since some can unfortunately spiral into something harmful and bad, also because most online forums aren’t moderated well and anything and everything can happen. It makes me appreciate how NL moderates the forums here so it’s safe and friendly. I’m sorry about the stuff that happened with you over the years, and I understand that fun stuff and hobbies sometimes feel like the only way to feel happy. I like watching and doing stuff since it makes me forget about things that bother me, and I tend to do it a lot. I am hopeful something really good does happen for you, because I can absolutely understand being tired of all the negative stuff that’s happened and wanting something good to happen.
@Pastellioli Yeahhh. Imma wait before getting either.
tri was originally movies in Japan, but subbed episodes outside Japan. of course, the English dub is movie format only though. As for best, it does need to be stated that there are plenty of details that were heavily edited or removed from the dub. At least the original dub.I still remember the 02 series had that one episode where, the "villain" in the dub stated outright they were evil, but the og sub, they said they were acting to ensure their own survival. The exact scenario is probably too much to put here tbh.
I forget the simple fix, but I don't recall it being cleaning dust.
I saw a few earlier MCU movies. Up until the first Avengers. And yeah. I've seen the impact too. There's a sort of semi-bootleg youtube series called "Infinity Wah", starring Waluigi as Thanos because he didn't get into Smash. And iirc, cause everyone else except Wario were a bunch of jerks to him. Worth a watch imo.
Yeah. I've not seen much of any of those movies honestly. My current Netflix series are The Batman, Dandadan, and when I get back to it, Seven Deadly Sins 4 Knights of the Apocalypse. And yeah. Licensing can suck muchly.
Huhhh. Sounds like she wouldn't actually have any kitsune abilities then. Unless she actually is at least part kitsune? I def wanna see more kitsune, and should at least see her character. Also, is Youko another term for supernatural kitsune? Just curious.
NL from before is something I don't remember that well tbh. I know I kept up with most articles until about 2012, actually taking the time to read every single one for a while. But was that NL era? Or VCR? VCR absolutely focused on the virtual console most. You could look through a catalogue of all the games, and look at reviews. While I don't recall if there were any articles, I do remember one of the staff being Corby. I think he goes by Corbs now? Grim Reaper pfp. And there was someone at some point who was a Sega fan who actually landed a job with Sega.
Yeah. Understandable you might've misread or whatever. And yup. It royally sucks. I genuinely feel compelled, and fixated, on whatever issue there may be. It's something to overcome that has caused many problems. Compulsion to speak and/or act. Driven by anxiety. Complete with a flawed instinctive understanding of how interacting works.
Huh. I relate to a lot of that. Many of those points apply to me as well. Like, I will be consumed by my social mistakes, and I will discuss negative topics with others, until pointed out. It isn't as much negativity on things I enjoy, but I am still something of a perfectionist with those. Currently, I'm struggling to get 100% on a handful of games for example. But that doesn't make me negative toward myself. Just a bit extra bored with less motivation to finish. In the likes of BotW and TotK (Zelda), I got burned out before any of that could ever come to pass, and barely finished the main stories. I do miss being mindlessly happy though.
The forums in question were everything you described. I even called out both the forum owner, and the forum itself, and said the place would essentially self destruct. Which later, after I was gone, it absolutely did. Rare case of me being insightful enough to predict things. There was a bit of perspective involved. Like, ppl on during the day thought the ppl on during the night were causing drama by talking, and vice versa. I ended up blaming myself when I realized that. Having said that, there was another forum I was on that became a safe place. A particularly fun moment from the toxic forum was when a new member created a group dm, and me, along with a couple others, openly called the forum owner an a** for his behavior. He told the rest of the forum he banned us and would let us back in, but because he found the delete account button instead of the ban button, we saw everything. Including the vast majority of the forum hating on us, primarily me.
Yeah. They do feel like the only way to stay happy. One good thing isn't quite enough to overturn years of bad though, because if I lose focus and start messing up again, or if further bad occurs, it's largely a reminder that I'm still trapped.
(Edit, just realized I've gotten too personal and negative. Gonna work on dialing it back.)
@Mariotag Huh, looks like the dub did change some things up a bit. I don’t really come across anime dubs that significantly change the source material up a bunch, but I think I have heard of some shows that are notable for that. I can’t remember which though.
Yeah, even when I clean the sticks off they still drift, so I don’t think that’s what’ll truly get rid of the drift. Need to be careful with the controllers.
I never watched the earlier movies, only the ones that came later in the series. I’m not super into superhero movies besides maybe the Spiderverse movies. I wouldn’t call myself a Marvel fan, but I just see some of the movies on occasion and enjoy them. I think I have heard of that Waluigi Avengers thing, it was popular when I saw it pop up on my recommended feed a few times years ago, and the premise sounds hilarious.
I really like Yo-kai Watch despite only having played the first two games and watched the first season of the anime and the first film. But I don’t know what the other four movies are about. I know when they were going to localize Yo-kai Watch 4, they wanted to localize the 4th and 5th movies and one of the other series because of plot points and characters in 4 but they never released the game and the movies in English and at this point they never will. I don’t have any shows or movies I’ve been watching recently, but I plan on watching a Chip ‘n’ Dale show on Disney+ today, but there’s a few shows on CR I started but haven’t finished.
Yeah, she doesn’t really have any kitsune abilities besides her ultimate and some parts of her design being themed around kitsune, namely the red headband she wears, but her having more fantastical and mythological abilities compared to the others makes me enjoy her character a ton since the other heroes in OW tend to wield ordinary weapons. And I checked, and the definition I found for it was “mythological fox spirit,” so it’s a term for a kitsune.
That’s interesting, I do recall that they mentioned they focused more on Virtual Console than Nintendo and gaming as a whole before rebranding to NL. It sounds like some of the OG staff left, but it’s so cool one of them was a Sega fan and actually got to work for them! That sounds like a dream come true. It seems like NL did change a lot over the years besides the name rebrand and the articles focusing on other games.
Sometimes I wish I could predict or see what would happen with the actions I plan on taking, because it seems so uncertain what effect my actions will have afterward and it makes me worry about whether what I’m doing will help or not.
There’s a rhythm game I play and I begin to act like a perfectionist when I can’t full combo a song, because a lot of the songs I played through almost flawlessly and I can handle higher difficulty songs, but I have began to act less like that and just more bummed out when I can’t get it right since the game rewards you with in-game items if you get a combo streak going on.
That must have been a mess. Sometimes seeing how things are falling apart in the current moment, you can pretty much tell it’s super bad and will implode upon itself eventually. So it seems like some people were accusing each other of making each other look bad or some actually did it? It seems like there was some misinformation and accusations involved that caused some of the users to get upset at each other, which is unfortunate. It’s good you and everyone else pointed out how bad the forum was managed and the toxic behavior it fostered, because some don’t realize how toxic some online communities can be until later on, and I’m sorry about how everyone else got mad at you and the others. The forum owner just really got angry he got called out and seemed to do that just to make himself look good and the people criticizing him look bad.
I wish just one good thing could change every negative thing. Sometimes it feels rare when that happens, usually one day something good happens and it goes back to the status quo, but lately I’ve been having more positive days. But yes, it feels like that pop culture and media are the only ways to feel happy, especially when you’re having a rough day or week and find it’s hard to be happy.

If you’re curious, the character in my PFP is Flaky from Happy Tree Friends.
Hey everyone! I wrote a short story for a competition, and just wanted to share it with y'all cause I'd love your feedback! It was a very new style of writing for me: I usually have an upbeat main character and write in a formal 3rd-person limited or omniscient, so for this one I stretched myself and tried a casual 1st-person limited. Let me know what you think! ☺️☺️☺️ https://the-authors.fandom.com/wiki/Journal_(PC_2-25)
@SlamDunk22 its been cold here where I live since late December and all of January. Even this month its been cold as heck where i pretty much let my rec center gym membership expire . whenever the weather warms up this weekend or next month starting in March I better go renew my membership at the gym.
@Pastellioli Well, anime back then, especially stuff meant for younger audiences, absolutely got modifications. I dunno if I can even state here what the original thing was for that one episode. Other notable examples include the original DBZ dub. Hell was not referred to by name, episodes were merged, and they cut out references to death, as well as "Mr. Satan", for the latter of which they apparently actually created an entirely new name for the character. (His original first name was apparently Mark or something.)
Yeah. Drift is gonna hopefully be less of a problem coming up.
Yea. I never got too into Marvel either. Mostly just Spider-Man. Not into comic heroes in general for the most part. And Waluigi Avengers was great, not because it was funny, but because it seemed to actually be taken somewhat seriously. I'm still waiting on another episode of Endgame...
I never got into Yo-kai Watch tbh. But it does suck when things just don't happen.
Ah neat! Another reason to like the character then! And yeah. Been wondering if a youko essentially is what I thought it was or not. Good to have confirmation.
Yeah. NL has changed a lot since then! It is weird seeing some reactions though. Among my friends, some say not to trust reviews from NL these days. I forget the basis though.
Yeah. It'd be nice to have some idea of if my action would cause problems or not. It'd help.
Oof. Yeah. With rhythm games at least, I'm not that consumed.
Well, the forum was very much the mess I said it was. Only like, 3 or 4 ppl on at night, which ended up become daytime ppl seeing nighttime activity as drama, and vice-versa. I was a lot less mature regarding online interactions back then, but was also too bold for my own good. It was only a few ppl calling out the owner and forum then. I feel like a lot of my habits formed from back then, or evolved from then, in rather negative ways. Still need to get past that.
It'd be nice if good things overturned negative things. Unfortunately, many people are not willing to talk about the things you do that may be wrong, or work things out otherwise. And positive does not overturn negative. I do feel as though I need to escape a lot of things these days, but an escape can only do so much.
@Mariotag I think earlier anime’s from the 90s-00s went through a lot of localization changes, one notable example being Japanese namers changed to American names and cutting out Japanese food and replacing it with American food, and if the anime was for children, there would absolutely be a ton of changes done to it. It reminds me, I never watched One Piece, but I saw a video on its 4kids dub, and although it isn’t a mature anime, I saw it has questionable and sometimes violent content, and 4kids snagged the rights to dub it first from a packaged deal with other shows in it. Since they were aimed towards kids and families and One Piece didn’t fit their demographic, they had to edit episodes a ton, threw in a bunch of cheesy jokes for laughs and sometimes outright cutting episodes and even characters…which didn’t work from the footage I saw. People who watch and read One Piece said some of the changes they made to the episodes would’ve made plot holes with the story, but I read they didn’t get far into dubbing the show’s many episodes. Just shows that trying to turn an anime for older audiences to a kids show is difficult and almost never works.
I still think Marvel is cool but I’m also not into it besides the Spiderverse movies and Marvel Rivals. I’m not hyped or excited about superhero comics or movies but not saying they’re bad, but my interest is more in fantasy and fantastical characters, animals (especially if their anthropomorphic and rodents) and creatures.
I loved Yo-kai Watch a ton, but it failed in the West from long localization times, yokai and Japanese mythology being super unpopular in America, and accusations that it was a Pokémon ripoff. Because it failed in the West so quickly after the first game, they never localized the many spin-offs, animes and the 4th game, which bugs me since it’s the only mainline game that never got an English release.
Her being more fantastical is another reason why I liked her a ton. It makes her stand out from the rest since she doesn’t use guns and her design is more traditional. Her moveset with her throwing knives and healing ofuda is fun too.
Some people say not to trust NL reviews? I find their reviews are unbiased and well-done, and I think people don’t always have to agree with every review or opinions others have. NL is a nice video game site, and I find that it and its sister sites are managed and moderated better than the other video game sites out there. I am definitely curious about the other changes NL had throughout the 2010s besides the name change and them expanding to covering other games, since I found out about NL in 2020.
Rhythm games are fun but sometimes stress-inducing, since you can mess up at any moment and your eyes need to be glued to the screen at all times. It’s sucks when I get a full combo just to mess it up near the end, either by pressing at the wrong time or not registering my taps.
I see, so only a few people were up at night and daytime users assumed the few people online at night stayed up for other reasons to stir up drama. I wonder why the daytime users came to that conclusion, or if there’s a stigma that staying up late gives off that they believed was true. So only a few people actually knew how bad the forum was and how toxic the forum owner acted? Unfortunate because it sounded like a huge mess and everyone else wasn’t aware of it or played into the toxicity and fostered it.
I feel like the world is far too negative, and it makes it hard for me to find positivity, and it sometimes feels like positivity is constantly outnumbered by negativity, especially with how some of my days go, but what also contributes to it is sometimes seeing news document the awful stuff that happens worldwide, not to mention some people in the world aren’t always kind and positive toward you. I like using media as an escapism since I stop thinking about bad things and even imagine being the characters in what I play/watch or living in their world. They usually are depicted as being happier, and it makes me wish I could be happier like them too, but it’s sometimes hard for me to feel that way.

If you’re curious, the character in my PFP is Flaky from Happy Tree Friends.
@Pastellioli Huh. Yeah, 4kids was infamous for that kind of censorship. Though I never had much to compare Pokemon to.
Anthropomorphic or rodents? I can understand the first at least. I'm sorta into Batman at least.
I dunno the localization times. And did not know Japanese mythology, including yokai, was unpopular here. A little weird to think of, seeing as I really enjoy it.
Does she have multiple movesets? I can see where she'd stand out.
Yeah. Some people do say negative things about the reviews NL does. I'd have to ask for a reminder why though. Having said that, better than IGN, David Jaffe, etc.. I forget a bunch of the changes tbh. It has been a while.
I'm not overly good at rhythm games. I got into some though. Donkey Konga, DDR Mario Mix, maybe one or two others.
It's not even that they assumed the nighttime ppl were up to cause drama. More a situation of extra stuff to read through = drama. And yeah, mostly teenagers there. Or people who might fit in. It was a forum created because miiverse was allowing fewer comments per day. I'm wondering how much better I'd do socially if not for that forum.
The world is very much far too negative. I'm constantly hearing from ppl the news today, basically just being ppl hating on each other for insert reason here. One take after another. And yeah. Lately, I've felt a need to ask ppl if I'm toxic myself, partly cause of my habits, and issues. I don't even look to media as living in the world of those characters. Just getting lost in the media is nice.
@Pastellioli Thanks! This is the icon I'm using for my Switch profile, which is Mario hanging out in Western Land. I like how it turned out, honestly. Western Land is one of my favorite boards in the Mario Party series, too.
It's been years since I last saw Rescue Rangers. Perhaps I'll see it on Disney+ for old time's sake, haha. Goof Troop was another show from my childhood. More recently, I've watched the classic Mickey Mouse cartoons on Disney+. They're so fun to watch and I even have a couple volumes of them on blu-ray. I saw a Donald Duck cartoon that had Chip and Dale, too.
I remember the other Mario costumes too, as well as the Splatoon ones. I got the Splatoon costumes last year before the Wii U's online shut down. The Mario ones I got from various amiibo figures.
I ended up getting New Horizons digitally as well. Can't say I'm surprised the physical copies kept selling out, lol. Definitely excited to see what the next Animal Crossing will be like. And yeah, those box levels really tested me too.
That sounds like a good guess. I also remember seeing that Grabbed by the Ghoulies was originally gonna be a GameCube game. As for that game that Capcom was trying to work on, it seems like it was an original horror game. There's actually an interview with the Mega Man Battle Network devs right here where they talk about it.

AKA MarioVillager92. Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I want to get to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@MarioVillager92 I really like how much more customizable the Switch profiles have gotten. Mixing up design elements is so fun! Mine on there is a DKC render, but one I liked using a lot was a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe icon of Golden Mario driving a kart.
I actually first saw Rescue Rangers for the first time almost 3 years ago. I binge-watched the show after seeing the Disney+ movie and enjoying it. I have been watching Chip ‘n’ Dale: Park Life and watching older shorts with Chip ‘n’ Dale, so I should probably rewatch Rescue Rangers when I finish Park Life. I find classic cartoons have so much charm with their characters and animation and the slapstick is especially fun. I remember also watching Goof Troop at one point, but I never finished it, but I think I remember enjoying the episodes I saw. Actually, there are a ton of cartoons with Donald Duck and Chip ‘n’ Dale in them. I binge-watched those on Disney+, but from what I see there’s a few more shorts that are missing on there. That’s cool you own them on disc. I never actually owned Blu-Ray discs with the shows or shorts on them! I only had discs for movies.
I think I got a lot of the costumes from using amiibos, but I remember getting some of them from events since a few of the costumes didn’t have amiibos. The non-amiibo costumes I remember the most were Babymetal, Shaun the Sheep, Felyne, Totem Link, the Arcade Bunny, this girl from a manga called Nisekoi and an anime girl with turquoise hair.
Yeah, the game was so popular when it came out, but I didn’t expect copies to be sold out everywhere in stores! Physical game releases were way more popular 5-6 years ago compared to now unfortunately. I remember when New Horizons was so popular and everyone was talking about it, but I’m surprised they stopped updating it a year later since it became one of the Switch’s best-selling games. I wonder how the next game will be like, but I definitely think it’ll bring a lot of popular features from New Horizons back.
Oh yeah, I remember a couple of Rare’s Xbox games were originally GameCube titles. Kameo and Perfect Dark Zero were also a few of them, as was a couple of their cancelled games before Microsoft bought them and they became an Xbox-exclusive developer. I see, so it wasn’t going to be a Resident Evil game and an original project altogether! That’s interesting to know, and thank you for linking the interview! I’ll give it a read soon.
