And i totally relate to the second part, i keep telling myself i need to update the website, but wait, i need to do some other things as well! And so, i never get to update it :fou2:
However, i have tons of free time tomorrow, so maybe i’ll actually work on it, even a little bit..
Thanks, I'm definitely less stressed out and on edge now, but I was actually about to probably go insane a few days ago, maybe even yesterday :| Most of my posts were rushed and probably pure nonsense due to how bad it got for me :oops2: I've also been actually getting sleep, too, so that's another good thing :hap:

I don't get to do things either because I'm usually burnt out or, as you said, have to do other things :lol: This time I'll try to actually finish my SOTM and get it over with so I don't have to stress over that, too :proud:

I hope it all goes well on updating your website! :up:

And luckily, the movie is being dunked by a lot of people, hell even Saberspark commented on it. So, it’s already falling apart, little by little.
I haven't watched Saber in a while... I think my last video I watched from him was unfortunately him rating his fans... interesting arts of him :boon: I used to be a very big fan of him, though.

Thankfully it's flopping before it even hits theaters... or whatever it'll go to :| The tax dollars thing IS quite worrying though. :?

A train station is unique, atleast. I've seen videos of people proposing at other people's weddings and other... weird places :oops2:

It's a bit of a lopsided mess today. At least it's not super long winded like the last post I made! :oops2:

+ Excited to see some new faces around here! I wonder who all the new members are.

+ Waking up at a normal time now, 8 AM is better than passing out at 11 AM and waking up at 4 or 5 PM.

+ Had a good breakfast! Toasty sandwich with 20$ whitefish spread. At least I used it up so it didn't go to waste. :manger:

- Set bedtime eats into fun game time. I also find myself watching the clock and counting the hours. I feel restricted by it.

- Is really concerned about a vital part of our washing machine being super glued back on. It's the lid lock, and without it in place, the washer won't start. We have to be SUPER careful with it, or it'll break off again. I wish the elders would just replace it already! Doing laundry like this makes me nervous! :sad:

- Blew up. Again. :grrrrrr: I've been extremely irritable for the last couple of months. I can't seem to keep it together.

Uuuuuhhhh....

+ My computer tells me on Wednesday we're going to get 1 inch of snow. It does NOT snow here. It's physically impossible for it to snow here. Though 1 inch isn't exactly a lot, it's still weird :shock:

I'm really excited for it, but sometimes the weather report isn't exactly right, and also, again... 1 inch of snow. :oops2: I'll be counting down the days, I guess. :hap:

Exciting! Weird how we both got supposed snowdays :oops2: I really hope that our supposeds actually become true, though. It always kills me when something I've been awaiting doesn't come/is disappointing :?

I’m relieved to hear that! :up:
I also feel like my posts appear confusing at times, (even though i write them for like 30 minutes :fou:) so i wouldn’t exactly worry about that! And good for you for getting some sleep! :mrgreen:

Yeah, i don’t watch him a lot as well, but him paying attention to it is kind of interesting, since the movie is mostly only known in post soviet circles.
Also, it’s not dollars, it’s Belarusian rubles, just correcting you here :up: I do agree though, it is quite worrying.

I don’t think it will be long enough till then, i already have another couple, so you’re in luck!
Anyways..
+ Played TGAAC almost the entire day, and i finished Case 4 of the first game! Really excited for what’s coming in the 5th one :hap: And i just gotta say, i already love the Shakespearean guy, even if he has a total screentime of 5 seconds, i heard that he’s going to be in the second game, so that’s good :mryellow: Also really loved Pat, she’s just so adorable, and her interactions with Roly are precious!
+ I’m going to drive to my grandparent’s house next Friday! :D
- I have to write that damned essay..

I know that feeling! It would suck for me if it just ended up being mildly cold. Since I live somewhere subtropical.

+ Organizing more lists on my computer while I'm using my Wii! Perfect :D
+ Sort of going out for lunch with sister later, so I'm excited!

It's essentially a wiki host, but it's so full of advertising and extraneous features of dubious utility that it lags on both mobile devices and desktop. The platform is also heavily criticized for many other controversial actions and policies. Lots of wikis have left the platform and gone independent lately, to the point there's even a browser extension to redirect people to those "new" wikis instead of Fandom pages.

I'm pretty sure it didn't take more than a year for my PS4 controllers to show the first signs of stick drift. At first I was lazy and bought another one, and then another one again, and eventually I got tired of such a scam, ordered replacement analog sticks online and fixed almost all of them with the help of some YouTube video. It was a bit intimidating at first but really not so complicated in the end.

I'm just going to show this video of the MSM wiki problem that I had watched recently since it pretty much just sums up all of Fandom's problems and the user's problems:

I don't have much to say on this topic since I only use 1 fandom wiki, but honestly I'm so glad RPC has it's own wiki because of this reason.. so annoying :mefiant:

Watched that video, and I’m genuinely surprised that a lot of these issues aren’t present on the monster legends wiki, considering those are two very similar games. (Kinda unrelated, but I used to just translate the Spanish monster legends wiki pages because they have so much more information on there :lol:)

Isn't Monster Legends that one game that's kinda like Dragon City? Or am I thinking of something else :pardon2:

People who play MSM are probably the weirdest people ever, so that's why we have tons of issues. Most are problematic and or brainrotted kids who think it's funny to mess up everything and ruin it all for others :|

Also, I was looking at some of the french wiki of RPC recently (I don't even remember how I ended up there :oops2:) and I found a few things I probably wouldn't have on the english side (it wasn't much, but still), so it's definitely very useful to use international wikis :up:

Yep, they were made by the same developers, and they shared a cinematic universe until 2021, when they stated to give lore to monster legends :facepalm:

I mean, the Monster Legends community doesn’t have little twats like them, but it certainly suffers from the people with the most safe opinions and the most god awful sense of humour. It also suffers from nostalgia nuts due to the game having drastically changed in the past 12 years, which MSM doesn’t really have because the game has stayed mostly the same, at least aesthetically and gameplay wise

Lore always ruins games that are supposed to be fun and goofy such as MSM and Monster Legends :fou:

I'm kind of one of those nostalgia nuts, since they've actually changed a lot of stuff that didn't really need to be changed, but I also like how everything looked in it's earlier days, too. I'm not one of those people who are annoying about it, but I would definitely choose the older versions of MSM over the newer ones :oops2:

Though, they didn't change anything gameplay wise, as you said. They've only really changed stuff like the UI and the style they draw the monsters in.

You're honestly lucky with your community to be honest, I ditched all of my friends from the MSM community recently because I realized how low-life they were :fou:

And, on a game about SINGING MONSTERS, that is :facepalm:

Well, it depends on the scale of nostalgia nuttiness. If you look at the monster legends sub, every 10th post is about how they “miss the old game” (they started in 2020)

Well, a very common complaint is the very fast paced meta in monster legends. If you bought a monster in 2020 for your entire day’s salary, it’ll probably be relatively useless right now. Though there were a few legendaries that were clearing mythics until 2022

I suppose so. I met so many great people on the monster legends global chat (before they shut it down and moved to discord :mefiant:)
