I've got one of those cards in a box somewhere! Sent to me some 20 odd years ago by someone we used to know.
Oh?
That's pretty cool! That's a fun memento to remember someone by.
I hope that someone we used to know is doing well. It sure has been a while. 
This morning Nintendo released a video dedicated to Animal Crossing New Horizons version 3.0 update, coming out on January 15, 2026.
There's going to be a free update that is going to release on the same day that the Nintendo Switch 2 version of the game.
The update is full of new items and some new features that will bring some fresh air to the game, specially if you are into any of the things they are collaborating with such as Lego, Splatoon and, of course!, The Legend of Zelda.
I was just thinking about grammar and how much of a big deal or a small deal it can be to different people.
When I was younger I was always trying to have good grammar because I was afraid people would know it wasn't my first language if it was bad.
But I also remember feeling annoyed at certain mistakes. However nowadays I don't care as much. I still care about proper capitalization and punctuation and I will try to get it right, but it is not a biggie if someone skips a comma or misspell one word that is easy to guess what they mean. Part of that is because I feel like nowadays I feel like I am more prone to accidentally misspell words or swap the order. For example, instead of cliff-hanger I will accidentally say Hanger-cliffs, very matter-of-fact by the way, I rarely catch myself. And it is not because English is my 2nd language I do that while speaking in Spanish too.
Anyway, how about you? Do you have different standards depending the medium or who it is addressed to?
Has the amount of care for grammar changed with the years? 
Sardonic Pickle has confirmed to me the emails are reaching him, so yay!
I guess I can advertise again!
I don't know how much of a film industry Australia has, but are there any summertime Christmas movies?
I haven't seen it in movies but there is plenty of post cards and clothes that have Santa surfing and wearing shorts and stuff like that so Xmas in summer is very present for Australians, haha.
Nice job!
Thanks, but I am still unsure it is fixed. The error on the console is, but I still have to receive an email from the forum.
If any of you get any let me know. Also tagging me and quoting me I think should trigger an email notification for me at this time, so that's another way to help e test it.
I think I've fixed the zelda smilies. I have to leave the default ones just so the software won't overwrite the zelda ones in an update.
Remember to refresh your cache (CTRL + F5) and let me know if they are still missing.
For those new, you just swap tabs in the smilie menu. We got the zelda smilies and some Triforcehero stickers. 
I decided to go ahead and try to fix the email error myself as I cannot really advertise the community if potential member cannot join in.
I think I have managed to make it work but I will test in a little bit.
If you have threads you're watching and have the option to receive mail selected you might start receiving the notifications again, so if you don't want that, please go to your profile and edit to your preferences: ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT » SETTINGS AND PRIVACY » NOTIFICATIONS.
Hard agree. I think it will give more of a chance to really juice the game and build more anticipation for the next one.
It kind of reminds me on how at one point we started getting assassins creed game one after the other and some people got burnout.
I gotta agree with the seniors though. Damn youth always making such a racket!
Oh! that reminds me of one of another song!!
So I guess now I am listening to it.
Getting Old Sucks (But Everybody’s Doing It)
Bowling For Soup
He grew up three blocks away
The same ole neighborhood
Spends too much time on his lawn
When there's no football on
Where did the time go?
What's that on his face?
Always thought we'd live forever
I don't think we're up for that
Get to bed by 9 PM
We used to run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud
Now our tattoos are fading away
And looking back it was worth it
The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it
We worked at all the same jobs
We chased the same girls
We played in all the same bands
Each other's bestest man
You had a heart attack
I've got two bum knees
We don't wanna live forever
What the fuck is TikTok?
Golf checkers bingo Dominoes
We used to run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud
Now our memories are fading away
And looking back it was worth it
The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it
Alright, I don't think we can do bridges anymore
We need a break
Smells like Werther's Original in here
And Old Milwaukee
And Foldgers
Are those New Balance?
We used to run wild in the streets now we complain
When cars drive too fast and the music is insanely loud
Now the movies are cartoons and remakes of shit
That was better when we played our music too loud
Now our memories are fading away
And looking back it was all worth it
The truth is getting old sucks, but everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
Everybody's doing it
The truth is getting old sucks, but
We're doing it right

Merisu Kirimasu!!
Anda, that trailer loks pretty intriguing. I'll keep an eye out for that one this Christmas, hahah
Oh, I hope it goes well. Sounds interesting.
I'm thinking that I'll try to catch up around tonight as tomorrow I start work again. I want to do more things that what I give myself a chance to tackle. xD
I am thinking that time really flew. I should be in bed but I also think I should shower first because tomorrow I have to be ready earlier than usual because the bus passes earlier during the weekends.
It is kind of cool that BTS seem to still be going strong. Haha.
I don't know. I guess that sometimes even if you are open minded there are some things that are just not our taste, that being said, who knows? Sometimes it takes the right song finding you when you are not trying, haha.
I know explored genres I wouldn't have myself because of friends.

Pardon the Spanish. I was feeling pretty nostalgic and decided to listen to old videos from a indie band back from my city that I used to listen to a lot when I was in Mexico, they have disbanded now. Kinda funny I ended up finding them on mySpace of all places.
Anyway, the video is about old people kidnapping the band because they were noisy.
While the lyrics are about when you try to interact with someone and they ignore you or act cold so you just go like "Alright then. (Catch you later, I guess)"
You can try enabling CC and have in the settings auto translate to English if you want to get more of the lyrics.
Bueno Pues

Then again, no one can stop me from watching anime though.
This reminds me how I used to save the Christmas special of some anime back in the day to watch them. I can only recall Chrono Crusade's one because I actually used to skip it during normal watching as I knew it was filler so I ended up watching it years after I watched the anime itself haha. I don't even remember if itw as a good episode or not. whoops.
Muppet Christmas Carol is another great one.
Aye. Sardonic Pickle had to school me on that one. haha
Thank you very much, the wizardposting one have many posts in a row that cracked me up.
The quick pose came at the best of times as I want to do more sketches and this will be a great source.
That Neocities site really captures the feel like a blast from the past.
Now I shall leave these tributes for the thread, haha.
Typing Games - Learn to Type with Free Typing Games - Typing.com
^ To complement learning touch typing, sometimes having a more animated interface helps keeping me engaged.
For reddit, I like browsing https://www.reddit.com/r/Pareidolia/
^ I tend to find faces a lot so I really get some chuckles out of it.
^if you need a quick image editing, there's also a meme maker too.
It's been great for fun and for other quick projects.
That makes sense, Smokey.
I think specially when it comes to live action adaptations I will always have my reserves.
I hadn't heard about the MGS rumours but I will keep an eye out. I don't even know how can they adapt it without losing what made the series resonate apart from other similar kind of plots. Not to mention all the little details and twists within twists, haha.
Now that Sardonic Pickle is getting more into the Halloween spirit we're starting to collect decorations and stuff for future years and starting small rituals, haha. Such as keep two light pumpkin lanterns in the living room. I believe he's playing a horror game and I like watching a few classic Tim Burtons movies.
Baby steps.
I also agree that it can be easy to start treating like something that must be done rather than something you do because you want to do it. very easy trap, specially if you succeed a few years in a row, it can feel like you must.
Also, if you ever do wooden masks I hope you share them with us. 
I stumbled on this application to read comics several years ago and I have read stories that I really liked and I have seen how the app has evolved, not always for better. Back when I joined it felt pretty easy to check what was soon after renamed as "canvas" which is the free platform where anyone can upload their comic, so long it is within their stipulations such as keep it safe for work, be an original story, etc and then you had the originals, which were the stories that webtoon contracted to be serialised.
With Canvas you set your own schedule, but the dream was getting picked by webtoon and offered a contract. Then you had to deliver on schedule but you'd had a team backing you up. I excitedly saw many stories announce that the canva version was going to be deleted because they became an original. Then be all excited to start over with the story. You'd see the polish, in a good way. I really liked that canva or original didn't feel like much of a difference. Both had pretty cool and interesting stories to explore.
Nowadays most originals are trapped behind paywall right after they are finished. And plenty of originals if they don't do super amazing in the first season, they have to hurry up on the next season to tie everything up. It's been disappointing and bittersweet seeing great stories with rushed endings. Because of the contract is not like they can just take it and continue it elsewhere.
Funny, I started the thread mostly because I want to talk about the comics themselves, see if anyone knows them and have been reading and see what you recommend. Haha.
here's a few of the many I followed through the years I have enjoyed.
Of the finished ones, I have no idea which ones are locked.
Happy to hear if there any other people using the apps and what stories you follow and why? I'd love to talk more in-depth about them. Hahaha
Had it been working before that? I don't think mine has worked in several years actually.
Maybe I just wasn't using it x'D
I think you're right. It could have been years. I mean all the staff got so busy with life that it is very hard to say exactly when it failed.
Kyde is aware now, so hopefully it is something that can be fixed soon enough.
