A baby blue jay appeared by my doorstep on my first full day at my new home. I couldn't find your ask thread for some reason, do you have Blue Jays in your area? I seem to have a whole family in my backyard :3
I find it weird to enjoy a game where you don't really care for the main protagonist or you're just "yeah he's cool" ambivalent, and you like other characters. My favorite characters from series frequently to be main protags (Mario, Kirby, Rayman, Link, Asterix, Cuphead, Fox/Falco tossup) if I say so myself.
Of course it's not a universal rule but if I don't like the main protagonist (Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong, Crash), I don't think I can stick for long playing.
Though in Shadow of Colossus, Agro the horse is my favorite character.
Have you read any children's stories on birds (doesn't have to be when you're a child)?
One story I recalled was "The tale of Tommy Nobody", which I don't remember fully but it's basically about a bird who was left behind by his family (because he didn't fly well) but when asked what bird he is, he didn't know. His search for his identity led him to encounter a few other birds and compare himself to them. In the end, a similar bird had informed Tommy that he is a...
songthrush.
I was reminded of this story because I was playing a game called "Songbird Symphony" (a bird-themed Metroidvania/rhythm game), which has a bird (called "Birb") who wanted to know what kind of bird he is, although he knows for sure that he's not like the other birds.
Super Smash Bros. Brawl was the time when there weren't simulated depth to any textures, making everything look printed-on, so I question whether I even had backpockets to begin with.
I see a lot of people hate their old selves and today they believe they're so much better and stuff. I've done a bunch of crap in the past and probably came off as an immature weirdo but I've accepted that for what I was and so I don't hate my own teen self. I have to say I don't 100% think I'm all THAT better. I still make stupid unfunny posts like usual.
I'm still me, just more mature.
That being said I can't really easily look at some of my first posts ever so it's harder to evaluate those changes over the years.
Given your strong stance against Mario Kart Tour, (mostly) for its monetary system, I am curious to know how you feel about Dr. Mario World's monetary system. It's my go-to game compared to Mario Kart Tour because I prefer puzzle games, so I am curious to know what you think of it.
Some of you heard moving talks from my sister, but my thoughts. Strong opinions from a really mad and resentful person ahead.
My dad wants to get a high enough value for the house to sell it at best price. But given I'll be out by May, I don't give any more shits about the property value of this house. After that remark implying my sister and I are spoiled because we don't cook food he bought us (only the bean curd, but everything else from pork blood to cauliflower to bean sprouts to potatoes to beef we fucking cooked and he didn't eat one shred) as well as his decision to prioritize his wife (which I don't get because he never showed any love for her), after that remark implying I'm a freeloader and wants to move out with my boyfriend just so I can take advantage of him and play games, who cares how much this property goes for. Who cares where he relocates. I wanted to maybe clean up the garden, clean up our room before, but now my motivation is exactly zero. All dad reinforced to me that once I'm out and I keep touch with my sister, I really don't care where my dad ends up.
Oh and he said my autistic irl friend can't get a job because he's "mentally sick" with that disgusting condescension which made me even more mad and spiteful. Called him out and he corrected himself but it was half-assed and how dare he even talks like this in the first place.
My dad has a sad pathetic, friendless existence where the four other family members developed a deserved resentment on him and he can live the rest of his life hopefully knowing he's pathetic.
Animal Crossing New Horizon is all about the relaxing atmosphere of a deserted island knowing that 10 running outdoor generators surround your ugly neighbor's tents.
