Unfortunately this morning my cat Gizmo passed away. He lived a long life and was 16 years old, he was a Maine coon mix so he lived longer than expected. It's been odd not having him around the house, and my kitten Mochi can tell that something is up. Anyways what do you like to do whenever you lose a pet? I've been just doing what I normally do, listen to music, posting on forums, and I plan on playing video games later this evening. It still feels weird to me though, and I have moments where I start tearing up.

I'm going to be 34 on the 13th and I still watch animated movies. I know people older than me who also enjoy animated movies as well, so I believe animated movies are for everyone. This also goes for animated shows and anime in general too. Of course there are cartoons that are aimed towards adults that kids shouldn't be watching.

I just started watching the series with my wife this afternoon, we only watched the first episode so far so I scrolled past the majority of the post. We're both enjoying it so far and will definitely continue watching it! I never played the games before, but I know a little bit of the franchise so I see things here and there that make me go "oh look, there's Nuke Cola!"

I've learned to not worry about the things I cannot control. Honestly I've been quite a angry person for a while, but the past few days I have felt more alive and less angry than I ever have. I did cut out Facebook of my daily routine a few weeks ago, and honestly I've felt much better now that I don't have to browse that toxic site! Perhaps that's the reason why I've been in a good mood lately lol.

Nope I don't watch any music channels anymore. I don't have cable or satellite, I do have Hulu but I am not even sure if the music channels are part of the package I have. I used to watch MTV and VH1 when I was growing up. I didn't have digital cable so I couldn't watch MTV 2, or Fuse. I never cared for rap music nor country growing up so I never watched BET or CMT.

For those not aware, Niantic recently updated the avatar customizations in Pokemon Go yesterday. Many fans have been complaining about the changes over on Twitter lately, and many people are begging Niatic to bring back the old avatar system. As someone who plays Pokemon Go the new avatar customizations don't bother me too much, in fact I think it's cool that it represents different body types now rather than just one body type for male/female avatars. In fact, the avatars are more gender neutral in a way, and I think that's why so many people are upset over it. Other reasons though are the models themselves looking a bit janky and not as polished as they used to be.

I thankfully never done this myself! Though if I did happen to drop it in the toilet after I flushed, I would try and use the rice treatment to get the water absorbed as much as possible. But if I dropped it like The Blackangel did, then too bad it's getting thrown away and I'll get a new one lol. I already do not like looking in the bowl after I take a shit, I don't know why it's just one of those things that weird me out so I just close the lid after taking a shit lol.

I want forums to be the primary place people hang out online again. Discord really isn't a great place to get information and gather, because you still have to rely on outside websites like Google Docs to keep things organized. Plus it's difficult to locate old posts, at least now you can actually search for keywords in direct messages. Also I want frosted tips to come back in style too, I was never allowed to have them growing up as a kid lol.

I didn't burn CDs that often because back in the day I didn't have a computer. I remember going over to a few of my friends houses who did have computers and watching them burn mix cds. I had a friend back in the day give me a burned copy of Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember listening to it off and on growing up. I even found a burned Yellowcard Ocean Avenue CD once in the field down the street from my house when I was a teenager. It barely played though since it was super scratched up. :V

Mine is my complete in box copy of Knuckles Chaotix. My wife got me it for my birthday way back in 2010, long before the price of the game went up. She got it for $40 on Amazon of all places. According to price charting, the game goes for $254 complete. As a die hard Sonic fan, I will never sell this especially since Sega has yet to re-release the game on any other platform. (It was released on Gametap in 2007 but that's the only other time it's been re-released on any official platform.)

When I was a teenager, my best friend and I went around and kicked over lights that some people had around their sidewalks late at night. The next day, there was a couple who drove around my neighborhood and happened to see me outside riding my bike and asked me if I knew who knocked their lights over. I said "No" and they thanked me and told me if I seen anything out of the ordinary to let them know. Needless to say we never got caught lol.

I won't be getting another pet any time soon, I just got a kitten back in September last year and he's a handful lol. I wouldn't trade him for the world though, I love him so much. He imprinted on my wife and I pretty quickly too, which is unusual for a cat. We also have a old cat named Gizmo, two cats are enough for my wife and I for now at least. 😛

I prefer to have short hair, it's easier to deal with and if my hair gets too long I would have to put it up in a man bun at work since I work in a factory and I don't want to do that lol. My father has long hair and I don't know how he deals with it, I know he would comb it constantly.

That's the neat part, I don't lol. All my controllers and cords are shoved together in a shelf with pull out cubes. I need to get around to actually organizing everything, I just unpacked everything quite quickly after I moved into my house a couple years ago. I might finally get around to organizing everything this weekend, better late than never right?

I already made my decision by buying a PS5 over everything else. I do have a decent gaming rig now though, but I got this back in April. I don't know anything about building a PC but honestly building your own PC is probably the best thing to do if you have the money and time. Not only will you be able to run the latest games, you can play a bunch of old games too via emulation if you're interested in that.

If you're interested in emulation and want a way to play games on your phone, you could look into adding emulators. If it's a iPhone, you'll have to jailbreak it but if it's Android as long as you've got it connected to the internet to get the emulators and games you'll be fine to play it wherever and don't have to worry about being online.

Honestly back when I first got my first computer and had access to the internet, I started playing games less and posting on forums more. This was back in 2008, and I did this for a while. I also don't game as much because I don't have as much time, though I've been getting more into video games again as of late since I've been focusing on my Youtube channel and it's gaming related.

Trust me when I say it's not as bad as Sonic Boom Rise of Lyric. It isn't even near as bad as Sonic 06 either, it's an okay game. Stay away from the PS2 version, the Gamecube or Xbox versions are better. I used to defend the game more when I was 16 since I really loved it back then, but now I can see it's alright. There are a few different endings to get so if you do play it, you'll be replaying it quite often. I know a few people who obtained all the endings. Honestly the internet is way too harsh on Sonic as a whole, sure there are some bad 3D games but the majority of them aren't too terrible. They're not as good as the 2D games, but they're good. (Not all of them of course!)

For live action shows my favorites were Tales From the Crypt, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Malcolm in the Middle, and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. For animated shows Rugrats and Teen Titans were my top two favorite shows. Rugrats was originally my favorite of all time until Teen Titans came out in 2003.

I loved the movies and will be checking this game when it comes out. I've always been a fan of paranormal movies, and thought the movies did a pretty good job of depicting a haunting. (I believe in ghosts but that's for a different thread.) I'll have to tell my wife about this since she loved those movies too. Her and my mother in law tagged along with me when the first one came out and they freaked out but it didn't scare me lol. The game on the other hand will probably freak me out more.

I'm hoping people will start to back these up on the Internet Archive then. This is another example of why digital only for the future is not the way to go, eventually no one will be able to legally obtain these games in the future unless you happened to buy them while they were still available to purchase. I never played any of these Adult Swim titles, but it's still a shame to see games being delisted.

I wish they would do more bundles with the Series X, I prefer to have physical copies of games and own a few physical Xbox One/360 games that are backwards compatible that I would have to either play on my Xbox One if I got a Series S, or sell them and get them digitally which I don't want to do. It's a good deal for those who are new to owning a Xbox console though.

For a while it looked like Covid was going to shut down the movie theater business, but ever since the restrictions have been lifted more and more people have returned to the cinema. I don't think streaming killed movie theaters, it certainly has killed cable and satellite though. There's still people that probably use cable and satellite, but they're certainly fewer in numbers. I still see plenty of people going to the movie theater on weekends when big box office movies are released.

I absolutely hate Gangnam Style so if for some reason I heard it on the radio or if I was listening to a playlist with the song on it, I would immediately skip it. I still don't get how this annoying song got so many views on Youtube. I also don't like dubstep or rap, so anything from these genres I would skip over immediately. I have to admit I like the direction pop music is going this decade, it's homage to old classic house and dance music which is awesome. Well minus the rap that's still popular.

One song that I remember singing to at the age of 4 was Ace of Base's The Sign. I used to think some of the lyrics were "Now I'm a puppy dog" when she says "Now I'm happier living without you." :V I've always had auditory processing issues, it's much better now than it was when I was a kid but I still have it.
