I beat Pokemon Sword today, it was pretty satisfying defeating the champion Leon. Now I can focus on shiny hunting until I have an opportunity to buy my next Switch game.

Sheep April 9th, 2020 8:23 PM

the insane positive reception on my newest art

starseed galaxy auticorn April 10th, 2020 1:49 PM

I got my Retro Replay hoodie today. <3 I also booked my cameo from Troy Baker. *w*

Bug April 10th, 2020 7:23 PM

I'm just now starting to rewatch Inside Out for like the seventh time. This movie still holds just as firm a grasp on my emotions as it did 5 years ago. Ugh. So good.

Roni April 12th, 2020 3:14 AM

I made a Photoshop tutorial that got 3 views within a day of being posted! That's 3 more than usual. Made me feel good <3

VisionofMilotic April 12th, 2020 6:10 AM

Today being Easter and a friend sharing the most charming photo of his dog asleep in his arms.

Yo I really appreciate that mate. You really didn't have to <3.

But yeah I've had this channel since 2013 and only came back to uploading videos recently thanks to all the free time I got from the quarantine. I'm sure that when this is all over, so is my channel activity haha.

Bug April 12th, 2020 12:34 PM

For sure! Always glad to support people's content!

You never know! Your channel could take off during this time! Best of luck, I look forward to seeing new videos and watching some old ones.

Oh uh also as to not derail the topic of this thread, something that made me smile today was eating some amazing chocolate.

pkmin3033 April 13th, 2020 2:14 AM

Code Geass: Lelouch of the Re;surrection popped up on the site I use to watch anime. Dubbed. I have been waiting over a year for this. Finally.

Goodness please don't look at the old ones hahaha I had the absolute worst microphone. Save your ears, trust me.

Anywho, today I slowly but surely improved my thumbnail making skills, and I feel proud enough to show them off!

I literally work as a graphic designer so I feel it's cardinal sin if I hire someone else to do visuals on my channel lmao.

VisionofMilotic April 15th, 2020 1:18 PM

Roses! Spring has sprung and our garden is covered from top to bottom with fragrant pink and orange roses with blossoms bigger than the size of your fist. I walked in the sun and cut baskets full of roses from the bushes and displayed them all around the house until I ran out of vases and jars. The place smells just divine. The cat is going crazy for the scent of the roses and lilacs, and has his face stuck in the basket rubbing against the flowers-- the sight of which also made me smile.

CiCi April 15th, 2020 1:58 PM

Catching my buddy's Katamari Damacy stream :D

Cariad April 15th, 2020 2:44 PM

my parents dropped off some more food, and mum tucked my easter present (pretty new bedsheets <333) and a candle in the bags to cheer me up, because she knows i've been down lately :'))))

Neon Pink April 15th, 2020 4:57 PM

My dad surprised me with the "Pokemon Super Deluxe Essential Handbook" that he got me through Amazon. I was more surprised it had a glittery cover AHAHA!

starseed galaxy auticorn April 17th, 2020 12:15 AM

I got my Cameo from Troy, and I'm so HAPPYYYYYY. <3

Simply Dunsparce April 21st, 2020 9:11 PM

I went on a bicycle ride today.

Kuzehiko April 21st, 2020 10:49 PM

My nephew came to visit me! That definitely made my day.

BlissyMKW April 22nd, 2020 4:50 PM

I got another IL for Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition and learned that the Assault Troops on Battle of the Triforce can be ignored, so it'll be a nice timesave in future full game runs.

starseed galaxy auticorn April 22nd, 2020 6:13 PM

I watched my cameo from Troy three times today. It always makes me very happy. <3

Kuzehiko April 24th, 2020 6:26 PM

A video I watched on youtube.

Algalon1 April 25th, 2020 2:00 AM

finished his work

Roni April 27th, 2020 1:09 AM

I learned how to make sports-logo like designs on Illustrator! This is my first dive into the program and it's still somewhat scary, but I just downloaded a big ol' Adobe tutorial series (apparently from a certified instructor ooh) and I'mma binge this for the next few days. Excited to learn!

And for any of you wondering what my first attempt looked like, here it is hehe. Please excuse the weird outline shapes I don't have it all figured out yet.


BlissyMKW April 30th, 2020 12:31 AM

So I did a speedrun, had a couple of bad resets in earlygame. I was getting frustrated until my third attempt of the night, where I had a bad earlygame until I found Manhandla first try on Sorceress of the Valley and somehow saved a bit of time. Then I pulled the run from the brink of hopelessness, but the whole time, my goal was only "get that sub 2:48." And then, at the end, I got this.

https://i.imgur.com/knFuahb.png

I lost a minute on the final stage because I didn't kill a single Stalfos and because of that, it made the Bombchu that's supposed to blow up a wall go in the opposite direction when I realized it. Otherwise, it was a pretty solid run. Wasn't expecting to shave so much time off my PB.

Ace Trainer Slash May 2nd, 2020 5:48 AM

I listened to some Xenoblade Chronicles 2 music, 'Monster surprised you', (the OST's amazing, I really need to finish the game, I'm like 25 hours in and it's been really good, such a deep story and combat system), and got to talk with a person I really like over Discord! I also got to the final boss of Dragon Quest III! Today wasn't a bad day.

Roni May 2nd, 2020 9:27 AM

My microphone boom arm came in the mail today! After literally a month's wait! Sadly the microphone itself is still MIA but I'm still holding out hope!

Roni May 5th, 2020 10:00 PM

Bought milk for the first time in ages earlier and now I can enjoy some delicious protein powder again heyoo!

Soaring Sid May 6th, 2020 12:45 AM

My sister was still at the hostel when the lockdown began, and now she finally came back home.

BettyJimbles May 6th, 2020 1:47 AM

My boyfriend's hand twitches a lot in his sleep and I kinda get a mini head massage in the early mornings.

VisionofMilotic May 8th, 2020 5:01 AM

I got a notification that someone new favorited and is following a story of mine. That warmed my heart.

Roni May 8th, 2020 6:00 AM

I now have a scuffed lighting set-up (that involves a desk lamp and tissue paper) which allows my facecam to finally run at a decent fps while recording! Gonna incorporate that into videos very soon.

Janp May 12th, 2020 7:22 AM

I found out I'm listed as honoured contributor on a education portal that tries to revolutionize CS education here in Czech Republic.

BettyJimbles May 13th, 2020 1:07 AM

I can make decent dolma now.

acatfrommars May 13th, 2020 2:06 PM

Spending time with my girlfriend. Any day I can spend with her makes me so happy.
Reading a good book.
Spending time and eating dinner with friends.

Loriania May 16th, 2020 6:56 AM

Getting new crochet apples in the post. I also have a yellow strawberry.

Lunar May 19th, 2020 6:08 AM

It's a beautiful day rn in England, and we're all one day closer to being out of lockdown. But more specifically, me and my girlfriend are cooking a meal together over FaceTime tonight, so that's always a reason to smile :)

bestspinner May 19th, 2020 11:31 AM

My little kid made breakfast for me today which made me very happy.

Posting in the forum after a gap.
And...realising that the first season of Vinland Saga is just a prologue.

Neon Pink May 22nd, 2020 8:24 PM

I got the wifi working on my Switch in my house FINALLY! I have no excuse to find hot spots outside my house now! :D

Still not getting the $20 NSO until I KNOW the wifi is stable and it wasn't luck this time, so i'm testing it out everyday until I feel comfortable getting NSO.

Sami May 23rd, 2020 7:46 AM

a silly movie me and a few friends were watching on Discord

Neon Pink June 12th, 2020 12:31 PM

I re-did my customization on Pokemon Sword today. I look ... well I liked the way I look so there!

LucarioBread June 12th, 2020 2:18 PM

Went to a pub quiz with a couple of friends from high school. Not only did I have a drink with them after not seeing them for more than a year, we also placed second.

Caite-chan June 12th, 2020 4:34 PM

Getting out and doing yard work with a neighbor. Mostly trying to keep moving and not sitting around as much.

Fairy June 13th, 2020 5:16 PM

Lozz gave me a lovely DIY in ACNH that I really wanted and it made me very happy. <3

VisionofMilotic June 16th, 2020 10:21 AM

A friend of mine is coming back to PokéCommunity. You're a treasure Jo!

Also I got an unexpected delivery. A secret surprise came in the mail from my boyfriend! Thank-you Shawn!

I'm a doubly lucky lady!


Sami June 16th, 2020 10:22 AM

Got myself a rare copy of a trading card which made me happy.

Also was going to be happy when my new PC arrived, but only my case arrived and the rest is in a different shipment that arrives tomorrow... happiness delayed i suppose lol

Best blessings to you!

VisionofMilotic September 12th, 2020 5:40 PM

My mother bought me a box of chocolate--that was so sweet. I was watching Lucario and the Mystery of Mew with my adorable Lucario plush at the time. She not only gave me a delicious treat, but she was very intrigued by what was on the television screen, and asked me all sorts of questions about kind of pokemon these were, and really liked Lucario. I thought that was very cute of her. She got so involved in what was going on that she ended up watching the movie with me, and being fascinated by the world of Sir Aron and the aura guardians. I thought her childlike delight was heart-warming, and more than enough reason to smile. She would not accept the ending of the story though!

RadEmpoleon September 13th, 2020 11:48 AM

(Sorry this all happened yesterday, not today, but still)
I got perfect scores on 4 levels in a rhythm game called Cytus II! They were on the hardest difficulty as well.

Reading a letter from an old friend

Lunar September 14th, 2020 8:45 AM

It's a really hot and sunny day and I got to drive my new car in the countryside ^_^

VisionofMilotic September 16th, 2020 4:35 PM

I got a commission from a very kindly gentleman to make a set of dolls for his family for Christmas. I can't wait to get to work! I will make them angels, that seems very appropriate for the holidays! This project is a big deal for me. I'll do my best to make something that will make him and his loved ones happy.

ZeoStar September 26th, 2020 3:51 PM

Learning how to make a post flair, and making my name size 100000000px.

I'm not sure why I found it so funny, but I laughed so hard when the preview page broke.

Caite-chan September 26th, 2020 3:59 PM

I got to hang out with my awesome cousin today even if it was just for a few hours.

Sothis September 26th, 2020 4:09 PM

Had to shower at my aunt and uncles because our hot water isn't working. Seeing my little 2nd cousin was nice and also their shower is amazing.

VisionofMilotic September 28th, 2020 7:10 AM

Listening to a warm and delightful narration this morning of The Hobbit on audiobook. I couldn't stop smiling and giggling as I savored a classic.

Sydian September 28th, 2020 3:29 PM

i got some iced coffee. makes the monday a little better.

Fairy September 28th, 2020 5:32 PM

I SCHEDULED MY APPOINTMENT FOR MY SYLVEON TATTOO I'M SO EXCITED! :D :D :D :D

pastelspectre September 28th, 2020 5:39 PM

I got to relax today and it was overall a very good day!

VisionofMilotic September 29th, 2020 7:50 AM

The heavenly fragrance of the sweet olive trees growing in my front yard right by the drive way. It's succulent.

Neon Pink September 29th, 2020 3:20 PM

Buying a $35 E-shop card with some of my birthday money to give the 3DS E-Shop a last hurrah. Bought Sonic Generations half off original price, and Donkey Kong Land 3 from the virtual console. Hard games indeed but fun. I still have 19 dollars and change left on my account so YAY!

VisionofMilotic October 5th, 2020 1:32 PM

A friend of mine got an A+ on an assignment. I am really happy and proud that they're doing so well, and I enjoyed helping them.

Eleanor left me a nice VM on my profile.

Thank you so, so much for the help!

Being in a decline for the last few months with grades, it was so nice opening my recent grades and seeing an A+. It was like a beacon of hope, since after having multiple unsatisfactory grades it felt like I was about to fall down even worse.

Not only did I smile, it brightened my day.

Neon Pink October 10th, 2020 12:39 PM

I got me a couple of Pokemon plushies off the internet so that made me smile. :)

Dave October 11th, 2020 7:11 AM

Thing that made me happy is that My Father is returning Home after nearly a year.

My Pyrenees Mountain dog. He just came to greet me and sit by the foot of my bed. We had a good cuddle session this last half hour.

Neon Pink October 14th, 2020 4:28 PM

Let's see, lots of things made me smile today. Going to zoom classes for the first time and seeing everyone after SEVEN MONTHS! I'm zooming my buddy afterwards tomorrow. I might be singing again. I can't sleep. I'm hyper. KOOKOOKOOKOOKOO! Idk. Me too hyper to function. Send the sanity police. :)

ZeoStar October 14th, 2020 5:00 PM

I laughed at a jumpscare. Most of them are funny because the faces are always goofy, not scary.

Roni October 15th, 2020 9:10 AM

Stretching my body and I hear those satisfying cracks in my bones and I feel just that little bit lighter and more comfortable. Gosh I need to go to a chiropractor sometime.

Neon Pink October 17th, 2020 12:31 PM

A Dunkin Donuts Iced Coffee. I swear i'm addicted to COFFEE!

the fact that the vet said my cat looks healthy during her appointment! whew

trainer_nokachi October 24th, 2020 3:11 PM

Today I made a really cool video for the Championship battle VS Lance for my Pokemon Crystal playthru :)
It was by far one of the coolest things I've ever done in all my years playing the games, and it brings me such great joy that I got to share it with my followers and fans on IG.

Roni October 24th, 2020 8:39 PM

Had a lovely date with my gf yesterday with her work pals, and on top of that I got to buy a sweet new mechanical keyboard! Typing on this thing is a dream.

trainer_nokachi October 26th, 2020 9:07 PM

Between recording this video and finishing my first IG play through, I was super happy all day!
It put me in the right mood to set up some job interviews for tomorrow. I've been stuck inside a rut since I lost my last job, but I'm climbing out of it one step at a time. :)

Roni October 27th, 2020 3:01 AM

Been a rough day facing bankruptcy and having severe family issues.

I feel good about being home before it rained hard though. At least my white shoes stay clean.

Neon Pink October 29th, 2020 11:54 AM

Sneaking in a piece of chocolate with caramel. My teeth feel like crap but 100% worth it! ;)

Fairy October 29th, 2020 1:59 PM

A makeup package came for my birthday and it had all manor of rainbow eye shadows and iridescent highlighters. It’s pretty extreme for a casual look BUT WATCH OUT PRIDE MONTH SHE GONNA BE A BEAST OUT THERE.

Oh and a Fenty concealer stick that totally isn’t my shade but hey I’ll take a freebie idc lol.

The glowing faces of freshly carved jack-o-lanterns lit with candles and sitting on my front porch by night.

Made my girlfriend a veloute of roasted butternut squash and roasted garlic when she was doing her work study for her scholarship, which was outdoors in the cold and when she got home to some nice warm soup she was very happy.

Lumina November 1st, 2020 12:12 AM

I've just been relaxing listening to music for the past few hours, it's been pretty nice.

Roni November 1st, 2020 9:15 PM

Finally got my 2TB hard drive so I can store more than just one game on my PC! Been installing everything for the past few hours lmao

Sothis November 1st, 2020 10:11 PM

I'm visiting my step father in the hospital tomorrow. They finally allow two people in.

Roni November 2nd, 2020 4:01 AM

Gf convinced me to start a basic little skin care routine so I could look and feel better/healthier! Cleanser for now, I'm gonna get a sun cream real soon lol.

RadEmpoleon November 2nd, 2020 2:20 PM

Apparently our school isn’t doing midterms this semester! And seniors don’t take final exams so I have no more exams for the rest of this year!!

Neon Pink November 2nd, 2020 3:48 PM

I finally got the courage to ask my school principle to try out for the mini-choir. Apparently, they rehearse via zoom Tuesdays and Thursdays 3:15pm-4pm. Will wait tomorrow for a response. Wish me luck.

VisionofMilotic November 2nd, 2020 4:34 PM

Roni November 2nd, 2020 5:51 PM

Improving little by little everyday with this new keyboard layout I've been practicing. Hopefully in a couple months or so I can fully touch type it!

RadEmpoleon November 5th, 2020 10:41 AM

Started the shading on a drawing and it’s turning out good so far!

Fairy November 5th, 2020 1:16 PM

Roni November 6th, 2020 1:41 AM

I was actually pretty darn productive today. Half way through with this company magazine that I have to layout! Life seems good right now :)

RadEmpoleon November 6th, 2020 3:18 PM

Today was a half day for school! And today is the last day of my 2 week quarantine so I can go back to in-person school Monday! (I’m not particularly fond of the at-home learning)

Sami November 8th, 2020 6:08 AM

watching a friend figuring out how to install a TV

never did I imagine that to be hilarious

Roni November 8th, 2020 8:58 AM

I think I dodged a bullet with a quite uptight employer. Phew.
