Chit-Chat: a good ol' fashioned DCC!

^ That too.

I sometimes change up the whole layout, depends on the graphics.
 
I am a plain Jane when it comes to flairs as you can see.....

Well, i'm done, i'm finished. I was so pissed at people in general, so angry, so devastated, I left a horrible message on my principle's answering machine, and now....I can't take it back. All I can say is.....YOLO!!!!!!!!!!

Idk what's gonna happen tomorrow, but hey, Yolo! Yeah, i'm a bad person, shame me all you want. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Also, i'm dropping out of the Pokemon fandom. For real this time. Why? Well think about it. There's the cut and dry DLC, Pokemon Home, some transactions in Pokemon Go, AND to top it all off, I have no access to the Nintendo Switch Online all costing MONEY! You can easily buy two Switch games with that money. So with that, it is with a heavy heart, that I leave such a fandom that has no sign of dying, but...it's a RIP-OFF JUST for made up monster pixels. I'm SO disappointed in Gamefreak/TPC.

I don't think i'd leave the forums, just the fandom. I might pop by to say hi since there's so many nice and genuine people here, but after what happened today about my actions, and how I feel about the franchise, I feel, guilty about coming here. That, and with my second (or is it third) play-through of X, I can't bring myself to play it anymore. I still have *some* respect for the much much earlier games, but yeah, sorry Pokemon fans. :(

Honestly though I love you all. *heart*

It's not really something to feel guilty about, we have a fair bit of people here who have little to no interest in Pokemon, and it's been like that for years iirc. They come for Shiny Gold and....stay for the people or whatever.

A lot of people's interest in the franchise is at a low anyway given how gens 6, 7, and 8 have gone.
 
^ You forgot to add Gen V to that list

Yeaaaah...tbh I don't think you really need to be interested in the franchise - or even like it - to be part of the forum. It's just a common ground to serve as a starting point for interaction with others. Pokemon is...not what it used to be. Or it is precisely what it has always been, and therein lies the problem...
 
Oh, ok. I sort of feel better about my low interest in Pokemon now. I stay for the people. I honestly love you guys like I said in the last post.

I was also referring to leaving a nasty message on my principle's answering machine when I said I feel guilty. I was addressed about it in the morning, but then nothing happened. So much for yolo.
 
I liked Alola, those were good games.
I'm getting shield for Christmas.
 
I only played through Alola once because I currently have like 20-something boxes of Pokemon and NO access to NIntendo Switch Online to put them in Home. I don't want to lose my millions of babies. o_O;
Kalos is stale now to me. Galar is my least favorite region.
Hoenn and Johto I have respect for. Kanto is...just overused.
Sinnoh and Unova I haven't played enough of to have an opinion, but if they get remakes for the Switch, I might dive into them. I hear people rave about Unova and Sinnoh.
 
You have to pay for Switch Online so I'm just like nah.

I'm getting Shield for Christmas!
 
I don't think I have it in me to feel excitement for either tbh - I'll be glad when I don't have to work (6 more working days) and glad to see the back of 2020 even if means I have to go back to work on the 4th. I am so thoroughly worn down by everything =x
 
Holidays haven't really excited me that much for years, and I'd be excited for the end of 2020 if I could expect 2021 to be significantly better, but I can't. The only good thing I see happening in 2021 is that covid-19 as a pandemic will most likely be over by the end of that year, but that alone doesn't make things rainbows and sunshine.
 
the last exciting christmas i had was 2015, when mom was still around. been down hill ever since being left in the care of a verbally abusive narcissistic aunt. last year was especially quiet when she lashed out at me (again) for no reason a few days prior.

this year we haven't spoken to each other since october. i expect nothing different. i'll gladly take this over being berated without explanation tho
 
The holydays have lost their charme a long time ago. Cynicism can be a real pain as well, especially when you keep telling yourself that any of these emotion driven festivities are nothing more than another way for corporations to extort more money out of their "consumers". The days when you could just go at those with the mindset of a child...

It also doesn't help that from today onward to at least the 10th of January we have a lock down (which coincides with the end of my vacation). We also have some really weird and arbitrary rules during christmas around the lines of "only two house holds with a maximum of up to fivepeople, not counting children are allowed to meet" which clearly shows how much the people who made the rules know how society works. xD

I also kinda stopped caring about arbitrary year numbers and the pandemic certainly won't stop just because someone decided that 2020 will end on the last day of December.
 
I've disliked Christmas and the holiday season in general for a while. All the bad drivers come out and people are nasty.
 
I would love to give up driving completely tbh. It's just so stressful dealing with some of the people on the roads here...

Unfortunately, we live in the countryside, it's about 45mins to the nearest shops, so that won't be happening anytime soon :(

My country's just filled to the brim with cars now it's practically a 45 min drive to get anywhere, no matter how near. in daylight there's literally no roads that don't lead to heavy traffic, and our government ain't doing jack about it.

It isn't, they're horrendous here. My city is the most dangerous to drive in. But I'm so used to it that I mean there are those who are somehow worse.
I'm too frightened to drive because of this, but even being a passenger gives me anxiety.
