I’d go to Iowa and lie about butter.

I think a lot of it is down to just having good proprioception with your hands. I can’t remember the last time I looked at my keyboard while typing so it’s possible your proprioception isn’t the greatest. Does speech to text interest you?

Ahhh the Chao! I spent so many hours in the Chao gardens, so relaxing and fun! What types are you gonna make em?

With you on this one! The Sonic Adventure games are what come to mind when I think of 3D Sonic. The gameplay of the boost games doesn’t appeal to me nearly as much as the physics based movement of the Adventure games!

Cries in needs a computer with Windows on it to use PaintTool SAI

Progress pictures for the drawing

This is Goodie! 😃 I think about him a lot. He’s a mischevious little biblically accurate angel baby, so he’s still learning! In my world, angels start off small and simple, and then mature into larger, more complicated forms. Goodie enjoys nothing more than stealing gems and other precious items from the demons. In this drawing, he’s found a magical stopwatch that can invert time, which is useful to the angels in reversing the wrongdoings of the demons. The mini seraphs tend to find him a little annoying, but appreciate just how passionate he is at such a young age.

I’m actually thinking about drawing a picture of him except it’s what he looks like as an adult. I’m not sure about giving him eyes just yet though! But he definitely could do with some wings to make him look more angel-like…

In both cases the conversations took place via texts and calls. First occasion was a friend who was being harassed and had a bunch of other not-so-great things happening in their life and they turned to me, telling me that they had the means of killing themselves right next to them. They were being harassed over an aspect of their physical appearance. I told them not to do it, because with every interaction I had with them, they were always so nice, which left an impression on me, and the opinions of anyone so vile as to harass someone for their appearance is not worth even considering. I said more than that, the conversation went on for quite a long time and then it gradually turned into more casual talk and then “see you tomorrow” at school.

Second occasion was a friend who was going through problems with a relationship. I often ask my friends how they’re doing as kind of a habit, so this time they said they weren’t doing well, and told me about how they felt. They didn’t have a family who would listen so I was just there for them, listened to them and offered my input telling them things would get better, giving them some advice on what I’d say or do in that situation, and if they ever needed someone to talk or game with I’d always be there for them. They’re doing well now!

I’ve talked two people out of killing themselves.

Yes, I am aware. Several components are also ageing so I’d rather spare the hassle and just buy a new one for a fresh start.

When I realised that full-blown corruptions (sometimes of of entire folders) are happening on not just the HDD that I store games on, but also the HDD that stores Windows. This computer’s old and my next one will have SDDs but I’ve decided I want to make the most out of this computer since it still runs games very well, and I’ll go to the computer store to buy a new one once it inevitably bricks itself.

Fun fact: the richter scale is logarithmic, so a magnitude 15 earthquake would quite literally shake the planet into pieces, so One Piece fans would be talking about One Piece while the Earth is not in one piece. You have to respect a fanbase which has so much dedication.

Observer in this context doesn’t mean consciousness, but things such as detectors. If humans were replaced by robots and the robots did the same experiment, they would still see the interference pattern. It’s a common misconception that “observer” in the context of the double slit experiment means being observed by a conscious being.

PaintTool SAI 1 is my beloved, I don’t care how old it is, I love it and it’s just so comfy to me!

For those who may be wondering, PaintTool SAI is a lightweight drawing program developed by Systemax Software that was released in 2008. The “SAI” part of its name is unrelated to AI, and is an acronym for Systemax Advanced Illustrator. It was developed by one person, Koji Komatsu, and he runs Systemax all by himself. What a guy!

I love Chinese food and will eat it almost daily.

Nope. It’d be a great opportunity to teach them it! 😃

You can do it! I believe in you!!

This is essentially how the internet already works. For example, there’s YouTube Kids and there exists a website for pretty much every demographic. Some websites for a specific demographic will be partnered with other websites aimed towards the same audience, and so on.

It’s always important to read the rules governed by a website prior to signing up and to follow them. That way, the overall experience is enjoyable for everyone!

I don’t post any personal info about myself on public social media, not even my name or my gender, so I personally wouldn’t just to be on the safe side.

Horror movies don’t scare me, but Hereditary was the one movie that made me come close to experiencing genuine fear from watching a movie.

It probably depends on the store. I habitually pay via physical money, because in the event of a cyberattack I can still use it.
