Hey! How have you been? It's coming along good. And my art has improved a lot! I switched to digital three years back!
I am doing fine. Semi-retired, work 3 or 4 days a week at the local McDonald's. You have a real talent for art and writing that's for sure. Glad to hear that things are going well with you. Don't be a stranger.
Nice! That's awesome that you are semi retired. Must have been a big shift. I recently got a second job but I'm hoping to get more hours.I am doing fine.

Yes you're so right but to be fair I would often work 16 or even 24 hours straight anyways as a snow plow mechanic in the winter. So when I was Streaming/gaming I was also making a significant income - more than a regular job would for 16 hours (although not as much as working at the shop) so again, it was how I "justified" it
.I really appreciate the warning though and especially young people need to be better protected from the high addictive cycles of gaming. Especially modern mobile games with micro transactions which imo should be illegal.
Also consider that all kinds of things are addictive and bad for people: sugar, social media, screen time in general, negative thought patterns etc so I generally don't worry - unless I know something is specifically Biblically forbidden - which is what Jesus told us not to do - since I know any and all enjoyment I get from whatever source is, like myself, covered by the blood and I am free to enjoy this life with you and our family in Christ that God has made for us!!
Omgosh yes I do remember Where in the World is Carmen San Diego!! I used to be into a bunch of those type of games.
Kahoot and making games specifically for the children is so sweet and wonderful, I definitely think children need a high level of control and guidance with video games and other non-productive recreation pursuits.
I would love to play some Wordle or board games with you sometime if you're ever interested!
That's so cool!! I used to have some physical systems but I'm all PC now and I'm a real cheapstake when it comes to gaming - I won't pay more than $20CAD for a finished AAA game and for example for my birthday I got $200 on steam but I only spent $80 on roughly 18 games.
Hit me up if you're ever looking for deals online, I don't do the steam keys and all that but I am geologically patient and have a great nose for finding hidden deals and sales.
But boy does that collection look amazing, thank you for sharing and clearly you're very passionate about it which I can really appreciate. Would love to game with you sometime!!
I didn't even know there was a remake till you told me! I'm looking forward to it now, but I probably won't play it till 2030 or later. Generally I'll give a "new" game 2-5 years before I start checking it out so you actually clued me in super early for the OoT remake tyty brother!!I usually go back as far as NES, but I have played Atrai games.

Yay please do! You can always message me here on one of the forums and I'll send you my discord if you use that to chat and game!That would be fun! I will have to take you up on that offer sometime
Well my eyes are fried...
no its ok, HKIA is pretty good although I don't know about 'micro transactions' is this like games that steal your money the more you play them or hover over some hidden icon or something.
I have been making sodas, cakes, pizzas, coffees and icecream on Hello Kitty as there are spots around the island you can use the ovens/machines so...I guess I'm all set for imaginary cooking video games.
Hello Kitty doesn't play Scrabble though, it does have puzzles in one of the caves, you do have to move some boxes around and unlock codes to open stairways/doors.
I have just been on a minecart collecting fizzy ores to crush and make fizzy soda crystals to make the soda...and have to collect fruits and things. I didn't realise Hello Kitty Island would be sooo much work. When do I get to relax on the beach?? lol It has me running around on quests all day, finding treasures.
Where does that happen in real life. Well actually I do go on quests...shopping quests but not quite as cute as Hello Kitty's. The furniture and clothing is too kawaii. I had a sense of meta as Kuromi and Mymelody gave each me stuffies of themselves.
I'd just bought a real one the day before. They call them 'stuffies' I thought they were called 'plushies' ...I always called them 'cuddly toys' or 'soft toys' --cuddlies? softies?

I feel like all those names can apply xD!!
Have so much fun playing Hello Kitty and enjoy all your fizzy sodas!! What kind of Plushie did you buy irl?
One of the great disappointments of my life was that parasite Eve was not released on pc. If ever a game needed a remake....I usually go back as far as NES, but I have played Atrai games.

But but but... we need another Final Fantasy or Resident Evil! xD ever heard of an old gem called Overblood?
Considering all the retconning they did with the recent FF7 travesty? You want them to mess up ANOTHER FF game?
I still think we're going to find out that the entire FF7 remake is all Aeris floating in the spirit energy where they left her when she died. She didn't really die and she has been trying to reconstruct her life with the spirit energy she is floating in, but she can't keep the original storyline clear.
What is it with all the horror genre video games? I never quite got the fascination with those.
I used to read Vampire Chronicles, but when all these other vampire books came out, I just thought they were knock offs of the original Anne Rice novels , which was based on the OG original Dracula by Bram Stoker.
I don't know if an actual game has been made of vampires, but the zombies theme seems to have been popular. Is it because in many video games, you have to fight things that never die. Or sometimes they 'kill' you, but then you just start over again, like an eternal Groundhog day. Cats may have 9 lives but it seems you can have infinite lives on a video game!
the only way out is if you have a Deus ex machina like someone pours water on your device so you can't play it anymore.

Imagine being the adult to buy a device for your child, not monitor their time on it then completely throw that money down the drain by destroying the device YOU bought for THEM hahahahaha
Not the way to parent at all and what a waste of money!
