Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I have very different way of thinking when I was teen as I didn't like with the teenager stereotype which I oftenly saw from mass media that portraying teenagers as the rebel, teenagers like to talk with rude and slang language, teenagers like to having romantic relationship too early, teenagers oftenly get into bullying, teenagers got into fight with other students, etc.
I felt disgusted with those teenager stereotype, even before I was grade 10. And because of that, I completely have awareness to see my classmate during senior high school and hopefully nothing bad happened to me and if there is something that will provoke my awareness, I will fight for it.
I said NO to romantic relationship.
I said NO to get involved with negative activities.
I said NO to follow my friends when I clearly see something that doesn't sit right for me.
And because of this, I separated myself from my classmate, only want to talk with the good students but still very distant.

I was Anti-Romantic when I was teen as I didn't like cheesy romantic teenager stuffs (stories / movies) so I decided to create my own franchise, the fictional police department heroes inspired from NYPD Blue, Martial Law (Sammo Hung), VIP (Pamela Anderson) during early 2000's era. I still remember every characters I have created since when I was teenager with every single trivial stuffs.
When I grew up, the character design and biography got changed again after I have ever watched CSI NY and Miami during my college age, but after I get into Chibi drawing, I have no longer interest with CSI stuffs as I thought I violated my own rules to get too far into mature stuffs from police departments. And since then, I completely changed all my police departments character biography by made it more kids friendly as I still remember my original version of their biography and way darker than the Chibi version.

Oh, btw.
I was talking about my first franchise B.A.P.D
Blue Asterion Police Department.

Cool, thanks for sharing. I was wondering where your interest for the police came from. A little bit late to say this, but I like your profile picture.

Also, staying true to yourself, no matter if you are a teenager or an adult, is very cool.

@MarioVillager92 cograts on the Switch 2! The new PFP is cute!
I am teaching myself to do digital art, but mostly I like to sketch in pencil, while I do more 'complete' art with watercolors! I also like to use pen for quick 'grafitti-style' art.

@shieldhero I accepted your Friend Req! Cant wait to play with you sometime!

@Anti-Matter thanks for sharing! It stinks that teens are alwayr shown that way. I know sterotypes come from taking part of the truth (usually bad parts) and blowing it out of proportion, but sadly a lot of people seem to believe it. Too bad... Hopefully we can get to a point that it isnt so blatant.

@CaleBoi25, yeah, I saw you on my friend requests list recently! 😃 Unfortunately, I just recently started a 2 school years in one school schedule (I was delayed by a year when I was 5 and want to catch up in order to graduate sooner), but I usually play an hour every day, so perhaps we could find a time depending on what games we play!

@ShieldHero No problem! Good luck, I'm sure you'll be busy! Like I mentioned earlier in the thread, my church has VBS this week, so I will be busy too!

@CaleBoi25
Also, I felt glad to myself when I was teenager, I didn't follow popularity or copying my classmate as I knew what was fit for me and even during my teen age, I never like rated 18+ games when a lot of my classmate especially the boys already get into the rated 18+ games and movies before their proper age. Those things happened really built my concern with mass media effect for kids without parental supervision. Even when I was teen, I never idolized any popular peoples, never trying to be die hard fan of popular stuffs, never hang out with my classmate. I separated myself from those teenager stereotype and that's why I built my own favorite things, mostly completely opposite with what common people like.
I have interest with Boxing / Kickboxing but never like soccer, don't have interest with basketball and other mainstream sports.
I would like to try Boxing or Baseball or Tennis rather than play soccer or basketball.
I personally prefer Solo sports than the Group sports as it felt fit with my personality that I identified myself as Lone Wolf because I tend to be alone, doesn't want to hang out with other people unless I see the match interest with me and I don't care with popularity as I have my own interest that fit with me.

Oh, btw.
I grew interest with Boxing since when I was kindergarten, well because my mom had a VHS of video compilation of Betamax video demo including Rocky 3 opening theme Eyes of Tiger and it fascinated me to see the boxers with muscular body and Boxing attire.
And that's why you see my avatar a cute Chibi Boxer with not ordinary looking. 😅

@CaleBoi25, good luck to you! I know those kinds of things can be very tiring!

@Anti-Matter, I agree with you! I don't like things because their popular either! I just like what I like.

@CaleBoi25 Thanks! I'm having a ball with Mario Kart World. Thanks, I like your profile picture too... looks cool and I would love to play Splatoon Raiders as well. Is it OK if I add your Switch friend code, by the way? My username is on my signature.

Nice, that's cool. I'd love to try diving deeper into watercolor sometime, I've always liked how it looks.

hey yall back from vacation 😎 went straight to bananza when i came home (obviously i didnt take my precious newborn switch 2 w me) and made a cat in dk artist for an hour 😅 love bananza so far. it sounds like everyone heres doing well, good to see 😝

Go for it! So long as ppl let me know beforehand, I am always happy to accept Friend Reqs!

@CaleBoi25 Just sent you a friend request.

@ShieldHero Do you want me to send you a friend request as well?

@OctolingKing13 Hope you had a great vacation, I had one last month and I loved it. Glad to hear you're loving Bananza, that's a game that's on my radar at the moment.

@MarioVillager92, go ahead! I'll gladly accept! 😃

@MarioVillager92 I highly recommend it so far!
@OctolingKing13 Which Sublayer are you on? I am on SL7 and already want (minor spoiler that you will know already if you watched the trailers/direct) the Void Co. crew to be added to MkWorld!

@ShieldHero Just sent you the friend request.

@CaleBoi25 Doing the watercolor, right? If so, yeah definitely! I'm thinking of getting a watercolor set and maybe see a YouTube tutorial or two. Thanks for accepting my friend request by the way.

@MarioVillager92, friend request accepted! 😃

I need help. I'm not sure if I should get Z-A or Sonic Racing CrossWorlds. These are game that I would like to have, but I'm only gonna buy one. Which one should I choose, I'm really not sure

Yo why does the Space button for typing on Switch have to be Y instead of X and why does X cancel you back out of the selection entirely. So f'ing weird

@CaleBoi25 omg ur rly far in, im on the lagoon layer, trying to collect everything i can find. i love the game so far, even more than odyssey, it balances gameplay and story and its just PERFECT. the voice actors for them and another special dk character are in MKW credits so hopefully the updated soon!!

speaking of voice actors folks, toadette and toads voice actors have been revealed! Laila Berzins is toad and Laura Stahl is toadette! im glad they gave them separate voice actors, the toads are getting the treatment they deserve!

@ParrakerriRush
If you do not mind waiting, it might be good to wait until both games will be released. Then you can get a better picture, which one is better for you, thanks to reviews, reading opinions and watching more gameplay.
