Hi! It's been hard staying away from y'all, so glad I'm back just for my friends!

Congratulations!!! I'm happy for you! And yesss, being praised, especially by a parent, feels oh so nice.

But I hope it remains somewhat relaxing for the rest of your practices. For me, sometimes it's therapeutic, even. I hope you get to enjoy driving like that at one point.

Middling. Needs to retrain the body to handle certain foods again. Usually estimates five days to fully tolerate a small step up. May be a different timetable for simply returning to normal, though.

Yes on being relieved after it was over. Helped to know what to expect (second time). Enjoys Pokemon without that being on the immediate horizon.

Might explain the lack of injuries here. Never tried roller skating or ice skating. Spent enough time with a skateboard (a few moments) to realize the high potential of falling without something to steady yourself. Do you go roller skating often?

Ordered Scarlet online. Should arrive on the launch day. Wanted to get it on launch day for the reason you said. Stands a decent chance of getting spoilered by some recommended video before the release date. Sounds promising on the starters not being humanoid, if true.

Heya, just thought I'd let you know that you can take your time responding to my PMs and VMs. I don't want you to feel obligated or anything, nor do I want you to worry about how long it's been since you last responded.

I know you have a life and it won't bother me one bit if sometimes you respond within the day or within the week or within the month.

… I don't think I have ever let you know that, now that I try to think about it. I say it now since I've had acquaintances that would be bothered, annoyed, or even worried when I didn't respond promptly, and I recall how stressed I would get haha. I don't want you to feel that way.

No worries! I'm more than happy to help! Albeit, as someone who never needed to log their hours I never had to use such an app, so sadly I can't confidently recommend you one without such experience. Although after some digging some options do pop on online, but it seems "Quick Log - Student Driver Log" could be a pick? I came across RoadReady but it doesn't seem to have nice reviews or rating.

Otherwise, nice! I'm glad to hear it's all going okay and nothing bad happened (: I can't promise the nervousness would leave anytime soon, especially since you'll be introduced to highways, freeways, roundabouts maybe (oh how I hate them) and so on. But the sense of independence and pride/satisfaction that comes after conquering these obstacles is amazing.

They're so sweet, I'd feel terrible if my future dog (if I got one) behaved that way, but I mostly work from home right now so it's not too bad.. too bad we can't get a dog now though lol. I worry about accidents in the house too, but that probably doesn't happen too often once the dog is trained/adjusted to going only when outside!

Older games have good graphics for the most part, except old 3D games, most of those didn't age well lol. My husband is playing Mario 64 on the Switch online and it looks hilariously bad. It did pave the way for more 3D games later on though, so it's special regardless! The FF 7 remake is gorgeous ~

I saw the starter evos leaked and love them. Cat especially. So excited, just afew more days!!

All the best to you, the red marks may stay for a while but as long as you're improving that's what matters <3 I still have a scar on my left arm from a dog bite when I was 5 or so.

Still dealing with the aftereffects a little. Never happened to this degree the last time, albeit with a different method. Half-expected something to not be great. Contained 42 times the usual amount of laxative, which was already causing some issues. (Only drank 60-65% of it too.) Sufficed for the procedure, fortunately.

Is glad to hear you did not break anything, if nothing else. Sustained no major physical injuries in life thus far. Hopes to continue that streak.

Kept up with official releases, but not the leaks. Prefers to be surprised by the starter evolutions. Usually enters new games more blind than this. Seemed pointless to try to dodge official releases on a Pokemon forum, though. Pins a fair amount of hope on the Grass starter's evolutions being good. (Just stay on four legs, please.)

That's adorable <3 I love watching animals bring stuff, especially food, over to some little nook and play/eat them there. I hope if I get a dog I can train them well enough not to get overly emotional when we're out of the house, who knows what kind of dog we'll end up with though, you really never know. But it's satisfying knowing there are probably trainers we can pay to help us with that if we need it

Maybe it's the early One Piece art yeah. to be honest idk what it looks like now really, definitely more modern/clean I'm sure. But I also just don't like the style of the faces.. they're round and weird-looking in a not-so-good way. I can like super stylized/different art though, like Mob Psycho 100 is definitely a very unique art style, but some are just not as good as others to me. x_x;;

Responded a bit slowly due to suffering with colonoscopy preparations. Drank a bunch of liquids at weird hours. Got that out of the way now.

Never dealt with very heavy traffic here either. Worries more about, say, drifting slightly to the left while a car in the opposite lane does so too. Only feels like a small mistake away from a bad accident. (Also probably could have plowed into someone's side at 45 miles per hour while they were blindly backing out of their driveway. Spotted it with enough warning to avoid it in a controlled manner. Reinforced the fears of growing lax, though.)

Yes. Looks forward to Scarlet/Violet. Promises to be different than the other games, for better or for worse. Should have good replayability. Has not been blown away by Pokemon reveals. Hopes for some good evolutions. Probably ties with Fire Emblem for favorite franchise.

Really @ Skyward Sword?! Wow that sucks. Nintendo needs to step up when it comes to inclusivity/accessibility, they can definitely afford to with how much money they make. Hopefully you're not too interested in the game in that case, since you can't play it well D:

I love poms so much. They are adorable and always make me happy to see. Hopefully I can get my own sometime, not sure when we'll be ready (and living in an apartment that actually allows pets) but for now I can just enjoy having less pet responsibilities lol. I just hope Sprigatito looks good evolved, otherwise I don't think I have a strong opinion on the games yet? Not too excited or anything. Maybe I'm getting older. I'm sure I'll definitely enjoy it though!

hahaha one piece is wayy too long for me. Have had people recommend it but I just can't do it, it's too long. Plus the art style is honestly kinda ugly for me... :(

No worries about a "slow" response. Treated Halloween like any other day. Did nothing special for it. Congratulations on getting your driver's permit. Are you looking forward to driving?

Never liked driving, personally. Focuses very well. Narrows the field of vision massively, however. Widens it at the cost of large amounts of stress. Sits bolt upright most of the time. Only relaxes with no other drivers nearby.

I've already smeared my hands using pens and pencils as a kid even being right-handed, poor lefties. Normal desks that don't have a preference to one side are easily the best option here even if they probably cost more than those cheap one-sided plastic ones.. lol :x

I like the dog! It's cute, reminds me a bit of Luigi's Mansion. Would love to see a ghost cat tho <3 I'm not sure about clothing itself, though hair/facial features not being gender locked is a great start. I don't think we have a boy or girl option at the start of the game so maybe clothing won't be locked either, since the game can't tell whether we're male or female..? That would be great. Lemme wear what I want!

Is not the best person to ask about Get-Together timings. Only participated in one other Get-Together besides this one. Received the impression of mainly summer Get-Togethers during the planning phase, though. Chose October this year mainly for sufficient planning time. Lined up close enough with PokeCommunity's anniversary to link them up. Hoped for the typical northern hemisphere school calendar to matter less to users nowadays.

Favors online purchases too, although more for not wanting to visit a physical store. Did you go for the codes for Volcanion and Genesect?

Yeah. Enjoyed the time spent. Definitely would not want to keep that up for too long, though. Felt pressed for time constantly.

Condolences on your loss. Take as long as you need to feel up to posting again.

***First off let me apologise. I have been struggling a little lately and have fallen behind on messages, not just to you, but to others here and on Discord etc as well. I'm really sorry Zeo, you deserve better<3***

By HQ recording I just meant a decent HD copy 😊

Oh the ear problem sounds a bit like something I have (well the results at least). One of my eustachian tubes doesn't work properly, and when it fails I can't really hear at all in that ear. They gave me an inflation device to try and force it open, but it was no use. Apparently I have to put up with it unless I get surgery on it which I'm not in a rush to do, because I have other issues with my head. Anyway I hope that gets better for you real soon, ear problems are horrible 🤗


Omg that is a cool - literally😏- story! He had such a tough guy image that I would have expected him to go nuts about the food!


That video is down now (my fault for taking so long!), but I will hunt it down later. I read that one of his new characters was going to be names after Brodie, not sure if that's true?

Reports back in to satiate any lingering curiosity about Hyper Jump. Introduces no new hazards after Xpldr at 55.

Definitely not a complaint, it's very valid and I can't imagine the experience since I'm right-handed. But I definitely know from others how easy it is to smear your hands when writing, seen it happen a lot to people. When I tried writing with my left hand for fun as a kid it got pretty messy lol, can't imagine doing it all the time normally D:

I'm a bit in between. It seems fun but the performance is apparently pretty bad, and I'm not really attached to many characters yet (but Iono is absolutely adorable). I also really hope Sprigatito evolves to something good. Glad we can customize our characters from the start, and the options are apparently pretty good! Not gender locked either. Armarouge and Ceruledge are so good though!!

adorable xmas profile <3

Firstly, sorry for the late response as always - thank you for being patient with me, I really appreciate it.

Just wanted to respond to the Discord messages you sent first before your computer got fixed:

Did everything turn out OK in the end? You mentioned that the hurricane was making landfall. My fingers are crossed nothing bad happened to you but regardless, it sounds like a very stressful and scary situation to go through, I'm sorry. :(

Also congrats on the shiny Lunala, it's nice to see that Wonder Trade is still being used - shiny Lunala looks so pretty?! I am glad you mentioned feeling much better and hope that the medication continues to be of help. How were the bike rides if you ended up going? You sound like a very kind person to not hold a grudge and be open to forgiving someone but I hope you're taking care of yourself and respecting your own boundaries. If someone's presence makes you nervous or uncomfortable you shouldn't feel pressured to engage with them even if they try to talk to you :(

For sure, there are a lot of factors that affect talking in class. That's totally understandable, I'm sorry to hear about your Pomeranian. And awww a couch potato dog sounds so cute <3

Yeah accepting the consequences is very relatable :'D I'm sorry to hear how much it has affected something like lemonade which is your favourite though. Mine is more anxiety-related than diet-related so I find if I let my anxiety get out of control, everything will cause reflux but otherwise will generally be OK. Sometimes still get flare ups though. Am sending lots of support to you.

Are you interested in history then? That's cool, I've always found history interesting to learn about. And sure, feel free to DM me any screenshots of Stardew Valley over Discord if you'd like.

That's totally OK, I very much understand. I think we're similar in that regard. I didn't really do much of that either growing up so we can both try catch up now?! There's no rush to branch out. I've heard Stephen King is very good, I enjoyed the book of his I read but haven't fully got into anything of his since then. And that sounds like a good day, I'm glad the fair was fun :-)

Hahh I wasn't a fan of Shakespeare too but probably only because we had to study him for all of HS :'D That's totally OK if you can't get into The Hobbit/LOTR. Not sure about the movies, I remember The Hobbit as a book being quite a good read but LOTR was too dense for me to get through. I appreciate how well-made it is though.

There's no shame in going back to the library after a long time. Libraries always are good for introducing books that don't receive as much attention in bookstores/online reviews. But mostly I just use the library to study nowadays. I find it's the only place I can fully concentrate on anything if I can get into it. But sometimes it's too quiet and peaceful because I'll catch myself dozing off mid sentence...

I noticed you changed your profile, I like it! It looks pretty. And I'm happy to hear you joined in on the GT this year, what do you think of it so far? Also just wanted to say again but feel free to tell me if I'm ever taking too long, please don't feel like you have to delete any of your messages as I do want to do my best to respond to all of them when I get the chance

It looks fantastic! :D

You can set a profile background to repeat if you want! But unless the image itself is seamless, there's always going to be part of the picture that is cut off or doesn't line up.

For your profile, it looks like you might just need a smaller image so it fits better and is actually contained within the profile. Just keep in mind that different screen sizes and different PC themes will make your profile display differently for other people. :)
