No need to comment  daikian below received the Hollow Knight code.

So today I bought this: https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/6289/6289603_sd.jpg;maxHeight=640;maxWidth=550

I have wanted this plush I just haven't wanted to buy it online. I am a weird old fashioned person and prefer buying things in store, especially when it's items like this that are often times sold on sites outside of Amazon which I PERSONALLY prefer not to shop at.

Well it did come with a download code for the Switch version of Hollow Knight.

Since I payed an extra $15 for that I am wondering if anyone is willing to exchange something for the download code?

Maybe either someone could get me a $5 and $10 Nintendo eShop card, or maybe something else depending on what is offered.

I'm not willing to give this out for free, so offering something is better than nothing.

So I have seen this Heartless in passing and during a stream of the game, I even faved some of the pictures I liked of the Heartless.

Anyway, said Heartless is the Parasol Beauty:

Male or female really, I already know I am gonna draw it but I just wanna share in case there are people who don't play KH haven't seen the enemy but may be interested in drawing them. >w>

So recently I developed a new fetish in furry art. Said fetish is, to put simply, not the most well received fetish.

You see I have watched  yowesephth for a good number of years now, and if you watch him as well you are likely to have seen a particular fetish he posts often. That being scat.

"Gross you're into scat?!"

Yes I think I am, however, it's not the messiness/disguting factor of it, it's not the stench factor of it, it's not the embarrassment factor of it, it's solely based on the impossibility factor.

What do I mean? Well let's say you have a 150 pound, 6 foot tall character with balls roughly a foot wide each. When that character has an orgasm they are easily able to fill a swimming pool with their cum alone. The impossibility of this is sexually entertaining to me.

Now let's take the same character, but instead of filling the pool with cum they fill the pool with scat. The impossibility of this is sexually entertaining to me.

Yes I am aware it's still a disgusting fetish and I basically agree. However if I were to make art featuring scat I would do certain things to make it appealing to me:

1: No stench
2: No messiness
3: No farting
4: Unique colors, for example light blue
Fantasy is grand since all of this is possible.

Basically just a character producing mass that is greater in volume than their own mass.

Truth be told I have drawn a couple pictures featuring this fetish, but I am still VERY uneasy posting it. I also got a picture of this kind of thing from Yowesephth mentioned above. It's not so much about losing watchers, I have long since stopped caring about people unwatching. It's more so having people I like or friends deciding to drift away because of posting such a fetish. >_>

I know I draw some weird stuff, massive veins, astronomical hyper, urethra stretching orgasms, sounding, giant tongues and other weird stuff, but scat often times seems to be looked down upon. >_> So instead of posting pictures about it (yet), I will start by posting this journal instead...

And so to avoid any issues with FA's rules against screenshots of applications and websites I made my own screenshot:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/dw1nplq98.....round.png?dl=0

The icons in the taskbar were not made by me, BUT every single other part of the image is made by me. So Google Chrome is an application, well I made everything in the Chrome part. Twitch is a website, well I made every bit of it as well, just trying to make it match up as accurately as possible. =P

The main thing I am wondering is if this looks right for a 2,560x1,440 resolution display? As said in my previous journal I have a monitor with a 1,366x768 resolution so I have no idea if this looks right. =U Obviously the entire green area will be where I will have the zoom in and zoom out of Luroso, along with a section for his measurements as a reference to the Luroso story.

Any other things you think could be done with the "screenshot" aspect of it? The intention of the image is to make it look like you are watching a stream and make it as accurate as possible.

So this image of Lurosos here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30488056/

What I want to do with the image is have it be as though you're watching this like it's a stream on Twitch. So what I need is a good screen shot from anyone watching a stream with chat on the side.

I would simply use a screenshot from my own computer, BUT, my monitor resolution is 1,366x768 and for my "art" I tend to go with larger images sizes, in fact that aforementioned size is approximately half the size I tend to work with. =O

I don't need a massive 3,440x1,440 I am mostly seeking either a 1,920x1,080 or 2,560x1,440 sized screenshot of Twitch. Obviously having all of your usual task bar icons you use as well as browser tabs while you watch Twitch streams will be nice as well, similar to this image:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30296200/

So yeah, an image like this:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pe4bcpt21.....nshot.png?dl=0
where it's not necessarily full screen, still has the taskbar and browser window and all that.

So help with this would be appreciated. =3

So I have heard about this game before playing it, but I never played it when it came out back in 2003. I did however find a copy of it for very cheap at a thrift store so I got it. I just recently played through it and I want to talk about it. Especially if you wanna download it on Steam or on the Switch. =U

So the game is basically Legend of Zelda like. That's not really a bad thing as there are many games like Zelda. However this game has enough different about it to not make it carbon copy and to make it stand out.

Visually, even on the PS2, the game has aged pretty well at least in my opinion. The playable characters and NPC's have a nice design to them, not too realistic but not too cartoony, there is a nice balance. Heck there are even some anthro animal characters. >w> The environments also look pretty nice. Now there is an Egypt theme to the game and visual direction so a lot of the areas are sandy, stone, pyramids and temples, so in that regard the game can get a little bland in the visuals.

The game is also a decent length, maybe about 8-12 hours on a first playthrough. Since I was going for as much 100%ing as I could I got around 15 hours.

Overall if I were to give the game a superfluous number rating I'd give it a 7/10. So if you don't want to hear my gripes you can stop reading and accept the 7/10 score.

The game has issues, some of which weren't an issue for games of a similar nature on the consoles before it. (Mostly N64 since that is where most of my knowledge is. >_>)

1: THE SAVE SYSTEM. So this game, despite being Zelda-like, has save points akin to a classic RPG game. So let's say you save at the first save point in the game with one health Ankh remaining. (this game's version of Zelda hearts) After the save you go through a few cutscenes, get the sword, continue onto the next area only to die in the first battle getting a game over. Well those few minutes of gameplay, all gone, you have to repeat all of what you did after the save point. So all throughout this game you have to be VERY wary of this and either risk continuing on or backtrack all the back to the nearest save point. The game may not be that hard but it has it's share of BS, like...

2: THE SWORD COMBAT. You have a basic 3 hit combo, most of the time, sometimes the 3 hit combo doesn't work right and I am not sure why. =U Also after the first or second attack you can hold the attack button and your character does a spinning attack, but I never felt this to have much use at all. Also when you acquire the double jump you get a slam attack that is triggered after doing a double jump, once again this doesn't have much use. The reason being most of your attacks do basically 1 damage or MAYBE 1.5 or so as sometimes enemies die quicker, but again I couldn't figure out exactly what causes this. Most enemies will also be knocked over at the end of the 3 hit combo and when they are on the ground they have invincibility frames until they have fully stood up. Also most of the time you swing your sword in a diagonal arc from the bottom left of the character to the top right of the character. Well if you are dealing with smaller enemies this causes you to miss a lot as the attack goes right over the enemy. It's also worth mentioning that there is no lock on feature like in Zelda Ocarina of time, so a lot of times you have to just hope you attack the enemy. =U Not being able to lock on is also an issue because off...

3: THE CAMERA. A LOT of games have an issue where the camera will get stuck on walls, this game is no exception to that. The big issue is it gets stuck A LOT and I felt like I was fighting the camera as much as the clunky sword combat. =U It's also worth mentioning enemies can attack you from off camera. There is a "center camera" button but if the camera is stuck not much can be centered there. >_> Now it's not the worst camera I have experienced, but it certainly could have been better.

4: PLATFORMING: Now at a base level the platforming and jumping around wasn't too bad. The biggest issue I have is that you do NOT have a shadow directly under the character. This was something that Super Mario 64 had and if that was here I feel I would have fallen in MUCH less pits. Since there are many times where the depth perception is difficult to deal with I would often times either over or undershoot a floating and moving platform.

5: NO TURNING BACK MOMENTS. If there is one thing that is VERY annoying to me, especially in regards to achieving 100%, is when a game can lock you out of certain things. At various points in the game you play as the titular "Cursed Mummy." During his sections you can find some of the game's currency, this particular currency being ENTIRELY unique to the Mummy's areas. Getting this money can be fairly tedious so I didn't go well out of my way to collect all of it. WELL. There is a shop that only takes that money, and if you don't have enough you cannot buy all 2 of the Golden Ankh Pieces the shop sells. (Golden Ankh Pieces basically being heart pieces from Zelda) So if you have done the final Mummy section and don't have enough money to buy the upgrades well you are 100% screwed and cannot get these upgrades. Secondly once you collect the final "macguffin" the game tells you that if you take it to this one place there will be no turning back. Fair enough warning and certainly not ignored. But when they say you won't be coming back they are serious, after collecting everything I wanted to collect I went into the final area, saved before the door to the final boss and sure enough I was permanently stuck there at that save. I pity anyone who saved with one hit left because there is no way to heal in the final area either, and saves don't heal you. >_>

There are also certain sections that really "grinded my gears" and made for some miserable moments. There was one area where you had to carry a statue to a location to weigh down a switch. You CANNOT jump while holding this statue, and the switch is up a cliff. Nearby there are two moving pillars, they are moving up and down in a piston-like fashion. So what you need to do is to wait for Pillar#1 to be as low as it can be and throw the statue onto the pillar. If you're too close it won't work, if you're too far it won't work. Oh, and there is an infinitely respawning enemy nearby that will make you drop the statue if it hits you, so there's that too. >_> Even when you do get the statue onto Pillar#1 you now need to throw the statue onto Pillar#2. Here's the fun bit, the pillars are not in sync with each other so you have to wait for the right moment to throw, otherwise you miss and have to repeat step 1. >_> Oh yeah, this wonderful little section has to be done TWICE and is required for progression!

Now as much as I am harping on this game I did ultimately enjoy my experience. It's just there were certain things that if changed, altered or added it could have made this game so much better. So if you do choose to get this game just go in aware that it is not perfect and has some issues that may hinder the experience. It is $30 on the Switch eShop so if you want to get it be sure it's worth that price to you. Having played it I'd personally say no more than $20 but that's me. =U

Luroso: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30219664/

Now obviously since it's one of my OC's he inevitably be able to grow his cock, balls and butt. Well the thing is I cannot think of how he initially gets growth powers. Obviously I could just have one of my other OC's give him the gift of growth, but I don't want that to always be the default.

So does anyone have any interesting ideas?

I do NOT want to just do pills of drinking some kind of potion.

One idea I had was based on him maybe streaming on an adult version of Twitch where you can do sexual things, and the more subscribers or bits he gets the bigger he gets, but that's VERY finite and leans more towards uncontrollable growth. But maybe I could do something with that, but I am not sure.

But I am open to some ideas if anyone has any.

At least with the posting of this journal before someone unwatches to removes the 3,000. =P

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jrsmbdx0v.....chers.png?dl=0

But yeah, that number doesn't really mean much to me, I do appreciate all of the watchers of course, but I just draw what I want because I kind of like doing it.

So yeah, as ever I have no plans of stopping, I may not be getting much better but I don't care, it's not like I am aiming to be a pro artist, I just draw because there are many things I wish to see drawn that why pay others to do it when I can at the very least produce and okay version of said thing?

The at least one pic a week model has been working out pretty well for me I must say as well. =O

So I am not big on memes and whatnot, heck I don't even have a Twitter account, but this current anthrofying of the Twitter logo is something I am rather enjoying. I LOVE anthro birds so more anthro birds is a nice thing~ Although I'd wish people who draw some cute/sexy males ones. >w>

So yeah, someone out there draw some male #Tweetfur, doesn't even have to be adult, I was some male versions of this meme badly. ;3

I may draw one as well when I can, haven't had good opportunities to draw lately. >_>

So a year of images and I am fairly happy with what I produced this year. So here's a list of my top 10 favorite images. 10-4 are just in alphabetical order:

Bouncy Vib Ribbon: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26917520/
Fun Times With Geoffrey's New Gift: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29154527/
Nora's Sudden Breast Expansion: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27665680/
Sectonia's Tiny Breasts: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/29742657/
Serick's Sexy New Body: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28191239/
The Hollow Knight's Breasts: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28039321/
Truly Radiant: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28681760/

And as for my top 3, odd how one of my OC's is the subject of two of the images, I guess I really like the character. o3o

#3: A Reward For Gathering Essence: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27890294/
I liked Seer the moment I saw her in Hollow Knight, so obviously I had to draw her. Though being a basic front view this image turned out pretty well. =3

#2: Going All Out With Two Xamisos: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/26628075/
Me and my love of crazy astronomical hyper. >w> But I knew I wanted to draw these two together and it worked out VERY well~

#1: Xamiso's New Legs: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/28920912/
This slight redesign for Xamiso just worked out so well and made for a GREAT image in my opinion~ I really like how the bulge and thong turned out here, and really everything about it. It was well worth the time I sent working on it. =3

Yeah not a big important journal, I just want to do this as opposed to an image featuring my top 10 as that seems silly. =U

Insert "not the best first impression" here. =P

So yeah, despite online gaming being a thing for a long time I have had no interest in participating. The whole reason I opted to get the 7 day free trial of Nintendo Online was so I could full 100% all of the in game challenges in Super Smash Bros Ultimate. And yes, I got all 124 Challenges completed, without hammers. =D

And yes, I experienced lag in matches, some pretty bad input delay in a couple matches and stuff like that. But it wasn't what deters me from this kind of thing.

For what it's worth:
Powered Time Count: 113:00
Play Time: 41:42
Main: Marth (More like the only character I can play "well." >_>)
Quickplay battles: 200
Wins: 80 A whopping 40% win rate. XD And some of these weren't really earned. =P
Highest Global Smash Power: 1,804,349
My average GSP stayed between 800,000 and 1,200,000. I KNOW I am not good at this game, so I went in knowing I wouldn't do very well, so I didn't care whether I won or lost a match. But I did have some pretty memorable matches.

I had a 2v2 match, no items, no Final Smash, 2 stock and on one of the Yoshi levels without hazards. I was Marth and my ally was Cloud. We were fighting against a Pokemon Trainer and an Inkling. We all seemed pretty evenly matched and all lost 1 stock around the same time. My ally was the first one to lose so I was left alone against my two opponents. o3o Now I am not the kind to give up as that isn't fun for either parties involved. Well I kept at it and managed to take out one of my opponents and I actually managed to beat the other one as well thus winning the match. =D That one felt earned~

There was a 1v1 match, 3 Stock no items, no hazards on a Final Destination styled level. I was Marth fighting against a Yoshi. Not really a grand match, but the Yoshi had a pretty bad fall that felt like one of those kind that he shouldn't have fallen, so I decided to be a good sport and fall to even things out. I lost the match in the long run but I really didn't mind, I preferred to even things out.

Another match was 2v2, no items, 2 stocks on Rainbow Cruise. I was Marth and my ally was Sonic. We were fighting against a Mii fighter (not sure which type) and Corrin. Well before the stage started autoscrolling, not even 30 seconds, my Sonic Ally lost BOTH of their stocks. =U Well like I said previously I don't give up and continued to fight, I didn't win this match, but I did last a full loop of the level and that's without running away from my opponents. =3 So I lasted 2.5 minutes in the match. =3

And it's funny, just in a couple days of playing online I saw people who spam moves, (I main Marth but I don't spam Down+B) people who just run away during the matches, people who don't participate in the 4 fighter matches, (those people I go after because they're gonna participate not spectate. =U) and players that are lesser skilled than even me. >_>

Now that I have experienced online play I can say it's not really for me. I didn't hate my experience, but I don't really need it either. Very pointless to talk about this, I just felt like talking about it.

Silly rant that means nothing but I am gonna complain. =U

So I have been enjoying Super Smash Bros Ultimate enough that I was considering getting the 7 Day Free Trial of Nintendo Online and do as much as I can for the Online Challenges.

Well it turns out a credit card or Paypal are required to sign up. Oh yeah, gotta have payment methods where you can keep digging money out unlike those pesky eShop money cards.

Now obviously I could ask my parents for one of their credit card numbers, especially since I have absolutely no interest in actually signing up for the Nintendo Online service, but still it's kind of a principle thing.

Why can't I JUST get my free trial and not have these extra steps? Oh right, because when you get the free trial it's set to automatically sign you up for the $4 30 day subscription at the end of 7 days, so as to take advantage of people or kids that don't realize they can 1: turn it off, or 2: they forget to turn it off.

Obviously I don't NEED to get those last 13 Challenges on Smash Ultimate, but I was hoping I could so I could actually fully 100% a Smash game as I never have, and this one was VERY achievable.

So yeah, pointless complaint that accomplishes nothing, I just felt like ranting. >_>

As spoiler free as I can make it anyway. I will be speaking of things that you would see within the first hour or so of gameplay, so I will not be speaking of late game stuff.

This game is amazing, certainly the best Smash Bros game yet.

Smash 64 was a good proof of concept.

Melee was really fun.

Brawl was pretty dang good too.

I never played Smash 4 3DS and Smash 4 Wii U was, well, a step back. =/

But Ultimate fixes every problem that 4 Wii U had.
Much better Classic mode: instead of having to start at 9.0 and remain at that difficulty SSB-Ultimate lets you start at a max of 5.0, so Classic mode has a progressive difficulty increase. Also it's more of the usual straight forward Classic mode as opposed to how SSB-4 Wii U had that weird game board thing that could lead to some TERRIBLE fights. Classic Mode is also relatively short per character making the inevitable grind to clear it with all characters less bad.

Regular Smash Mode is still it's usual self, so not much to say here. =P

Now the newcomer is the World of Light mode. If this game was only World of Light there would be more than enough quality content to be worth the money spent. World of Light just keeps going and going. =P But the entire mode is pretty fun, even going for 100% it's still pretty fun. =3 The final boss is also INCREDIBLE!

And the only part of the game that was "unreasonable" was one certain World of Light boss on hard mode. Oh man screw that boss on Hard. >_>

---

Challenges: So in Melee the main challenge was collecting every trophy. One trophy was earned from getting all of the stage clear bonuses. I was never able to do it so I never got the Discun Trophy.

In Brawl they introduced Challenges, like Beat Classic on 9.0, beat Subspace Emissary and so on. The only Challenge that I could not clear here was Collect Every Sticker. Even with a custom sticker factory level I was never able to get every sticker...

In 4 Wii U... they went WAY too far with the challenges; Clear Classic on 8.0 with EVERY character, Clear All-Star on Hard with EVERY Character, Collect every Hat. The latter two I could not do, the All-Star one was just too much for me, and the hat one the RNG was just WAY too unfair and never gave me the final hat. =/

But the Ultimate has the most fair challenges yet! Aside from the Online Challenges (which I may get the 7 day free trial of Nintendo Online and get as many of those as I can) all of the challenges are actually fun and VERY doable. There are very few challenges that require doing everything with every character, nor is there much requirement for collecting 100% of certain things. The big collectible this time is Spirits. Spirits are basically things you can equip in the World of Light mode that can give you stat boosts and other effects. You could also consider them the Trophies of this game. There are 1,297 of them in total in the base game and there are at least 5 separate ways to acquire these spirits:
1: Beat Classic Mode
2: Buy them using coins
3: Progress through World of Light
4: Fight for Spirits in the "Spirit Board"
5: Sacrifice Spirits to Summon new Spirits.
The Spirit Board is a selection of 6-10 Spirits you can choose to fight. However the game has a VERY fair RNG that is more in favor of giving you brand new spirits, provided they aren't exclusive to the other 4 means of acquisition. So let's say you sacrifice 3 Spirits to get a Spirit that is exclusive to the Summoning process, well there is a high chance that those three will almost instantly appear in the Spirit Board. =O So if you want to collect all 1,297 Spirits then the process to achieve that is VERY tollerable, I know as I did it. =3

So if you are a completionist this game is VERY welcoming to your completionist ways. =3

---

Now there are a few minor nitpicks, but really they aren't TOO bad and I actually don't think there is much need to bring them up as they are minor.

As I said all I have left are the Online Challenges. I just have to turn off automatic updates on my Switch so Nintendo won't force me to spend eShop money on automatically forcing a paid membership on me. >_> Thank you for that though Nintendo...

But anyway, I REALLY love Super Smash Bros Ultimate, certainly the best in the series for me, I mean I my Switch says the game has been "played" for 100 hours so I must like it. =P

And as of 6:55 AM I am now 32 years old. Doesn't really mean much to me. =P

My parents got me a $10 Nintendo eShop card which I will be using to get Guacamelee 2, and I will play that once I am done with/slowed down with Smash Ultimate. >w>
And my friend  judyusagi got me Katamari Damacy Reroll on the Switch.

Aside from that there is not much else to say. =U Thank you in advance to anyone who may have drawn me anything.

Now I am not posting this journal to beg for money or anything like that, I just kind of wanna talk about it.

So for 13 years I worked as a sub contractor. My boss was the contractor with a cleaning business, so basically they (I've had 3 bosses over these years) are contracted by this hospital to clean four floors of this one specific hospital building. My particular job is to empty trash cans and deal with cardboard boxes. It's a LOT harder than you may think. =U Anyway, since we are sub contractors working for a contractor our job security is based upon the hospital wanting to keep us or not. Well on this previous Sunday my boss called and said that the preceding Friday was our last day.

I am mildly upset as it was the perfect job, less than 3 hours per night, a 15 minute walk from my house, and best of all little interaction with people like customers. =P But at the same time various things about the job were starting to get increasingly annoying.

1: The job itself.
"Hey a medium sized trash can, let's fill it to the top with old magazines." Yeah, if you can barely move the trashcan what makes you think the bag can withstand that load?
"Hey let's empty out the fridge, but let's be sure to do it on Friday!" Piecemeal it through the week? Nah.
"Let's put a recyclable cardboard box into the kitchen trashcan and THEN dump coffee grounds on top of it." Thank you, I really enjoy that.
"Man I only drank half of this large 32 oz smoothy/drink. I'll just throw it away." There was a sink mere feet away, you could have dumped it out.

2: My fellow employees.
Now not all of them were bad, in fact we were all equals in this job as we are all literally the low rung of the ladder in terms of jobs. The other employees do the general cleaning per floor. So there were 4 people, and each one has a specific floor they clean. At the end of every day they will of course have their own bags of trash which are my responsibility to take care of. Generally these bags are there for me to take of when I arrive at work the next day. The issue I have with this is they seem to NOT tie the bag closed. =U "Why didn't you tell them to stop?" Because I am a non confrontational doormat that's why. >_>

3: My boss' boss.
Now I never had to interact with my boss' boss. All three of my bosses were very kind, but their boss, the hospital employee we collectively worked for, seemed to be a "wonderful" person. Both my second boss and the current one did not speak kindly of this guy. My most recent boss especially seemed to catch hell from him. You see when my 2nd boss was looking to sell the cleaning business to someone else the hospital boss wanted one of his friends to get the cleaning business. Totally not nepotism. =P Anyway, my 2nd boss obviously did not sell the business to this friend and opted to sell it to my current boss. In my current boss' opinion the hospital boss seemed to hold a grudge over this, petty I know.

Anyway, this hospital boss seemed to create issues making it harder for us to work. For example, we obviously need supplies like trash bags, toilet paper and paper towels. Well my boss sends hospital boss an e-mail about needing supplies and if we were lucky we'd get said supplies in a week. BUT, we weren't always lucky. There were at least 3 occasions where we didn't receive supplies for AN ENTIRE MONTH!!! It is worth mentioning my boss DID send repeat e-mails informing the hospital boss that we still needed supplies, and in fact at one point my boss went to the administration of the hospital. According to my boss the hospital boss didn't like that. Boo hoo. =P

Another issue, one of the many area we cleaned at one point changed their door lock. My key still opened said door as it was a master key for all 4 floors of this building. However for the employee that cleaned floor 4 their key did NOT open this new door lock. That happened at least 2 years ago, and despite asking the hospital boss for a new key we NEVER received a new key.

One other issue is at one point the lock leading out the loading dock ramp had changed. I used the loading dock ramp for several years as I had to take my trash out back to dispose of it in the trash compactor. Now their reason for changing this lock was security reasons, according to security too many people had a key to enter the loading dock ramp and they wanted to control who had those keys. Fair enough. There was an ID card scanner out there as well so I told my boss that I needed either a new key or an ID card to scan in order to get in... So she e-mailed the hospital boss about this. >_> One month and no key nor ID card. (It's worth mentioning that if I didn't have anyone to let me back in I would have to go ALL the way around the hospital just to get back inside. >_>) Anyway, my father helped me out by talking to security personally and on the same day we both went up to the hospital to speak with security about getting me a key or ID card. Withing minutes the security officer contacted Human Resources and I was sent there, and withing 10 minutes I had an ID card. If it took minutes to do this why couldn't hospital boss do this? Good question!!! Anyway, the person at HR told me that it would take a few hours for the ID card to process which is fully understandable.

So cut to 5 hours later, I go into work, scan the card and.......... ACCESS DENIED. >_> Okay, benefit of the doubt. Next day, officially 24 hours later, ACCESS DENIED. Now I trust this person at HR, they likely give workers these contractor ID cards all the time and know that it takes "a couple hours" to process, so I took what they had said in good faith. The problem is the person to give the okay is this hospital boss! >=U 48 hours later and STILL access denied, so my father and I spoke with security once more and they said that they would get it taken care of. This was on a Friday and I was told they wouldn't be able to do anything until Monday. Monday comes, I scan the ID card and... ACCESS GRANTED. Man I could not believe it. You know if I didn't know better I would think someone was trying to make our job harder. >_>

So yeah, hospital boss seemed like a scumbag all things considered. >_>

So I am upset to no longer have this perfect job, but at the same time relieved that I don't have to put up with the crap anymore, and that my boss isn't putting up with the hospital's crap either.

As with every year I post this journal as a means to simply wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. =3

And nothing says you have to celebrate Thanksgiving specifically, you could start your own tradition on this day to celebrate every year especially considering this isn't a religious holiday. Enjoy this day as a day to get together with your friends or family. Heck, you could even start a tradition of having a dinner podcast with your friends over skype and/or on Twitch. After all, there is a "Food and Drink" category on Twitch for a reason.

Tradition doesn't mean you have to do what everyone else does, start your own on this day that happens to be a holiday at least here in the US.

So to all, have a happy Thanksgiving. =3

So yeah, been cold and rainy over the past few days, and when the AT&T come today it sounds like it was some box outside of our house.

So luckily it wasn't the modem or things like that.

So yeah, was a fun couple of days of not having friends. >_>

Quite a ways back I posted a journal talking about how even as a kid I did certain things (in the sense of art) outside of the norm. Now-a-days I tend to draw the lesser drawn characters, and as a kid I may have colored certain things differently.

Well way back in 2nd grade, about 24 years ago, I distinctly remember the students and I getting a coloring sheet of a sun with a face. Being the weirdo I was I decided I didn't want to do the typical red/orange/yellow color scheme and opted for different colors, one of which I knew was blue. I was one of 3 students in a class of approximately 30 students that did something other than red/orange/yellow.

So anyway, cut to recently, my mother and I were cleaning out my family's three storage units. As I was going through one box of stuff my mother was going through another. The box she was going through had some of my old drawings/school project stuff. She asked me to come over and she showed me a coloring sheet of a sun with a face:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxspr26ag.....y/001.jpg?dl=0

And yes, that is the very coloring sheet I remember from 2nd grade. =D Black, yellow and blues, how unusual but different~

So yeah I just felt like sharing this as I still find this coloring sheet from 24 years ago to be rather interesting. =3 All the way back when I was 8 years old... and in one month I'm gonna be 32. o3o

And so once more my birthday draws near it being December 12th, and as with every year I post a journal in the hopes of maybe getting some gift art.

I always try and post a journal one month in advance because as I have said before I have had people say "I didn't know your birthday was coming up or I would have draw you something." Well here's the first mention of my birthday and the journal will be marked as featured so it will be on my main page until the 12th of December. =P

Anyway, onto the wish list. I am a pervert that likes hyper things, so that is what I am mostly wanting. ;>w> So yeah, hyper cock, balls, butt, breasts. No tailhole or vagina, no thank you. =U

So on Twitch I follow Castlevania Aria of Sorrow and will occasionally check out a person streaming said game. Last night I came across someone who was streaming said game and decided to check them out.

I was enjoying the streamer so I followed them.

Well at one point my friend called me on the phone so I told the streamer I had to get going. That was when this happened:

Go to 2:57:00 https://www.twitch.tv/videos/331277734 Pay attention the comments as they appear on his screen.

That was just a fun moment to me and I actually found it funny, I certainly took no offense to it at all. =P

So while browsing YouTube I came across this, and it is wonderful!

Seriously it is SO good!

"Agree to disagree" an archaic notion that seems to be falling by the wayside.

Lately people seem to be more like Anikin Skywalker at the end of Star Wars Episode 3 "If you are not with me, then you are my enemy." It seems as though if you have a different opinion you are treated as a complete misanthrope, or other worse things...

There's nothing wrong with having a different opinion.

There's something I have held in that I have wanted to talk about despite how some treat the subject, and well I am going to voice my opinion because I shouldn't be treated horribly for thinking this way. And if you still don't like my opinion, let's just please "AGREE TO DISAGREE."

So, transgenderism. If you are biologically one gender and believe yourself to be the other ultimately I don't have major issue with this. However, I am the kind of person that sides a little more with biology and science. If you view yourself as an opposite gender then that is fine, but from my point of view you are still the biological gender you were born as.

It's kind of terrible that if you say things like this your are labeled as transphobic.

So yeah. I don't think I want to talk too much more on this as I said all I want to say. I am not making this deeper than it needs to be, I see things a certain way and that shouldn't be treated as a terrible thing. If you are transgender that is fine, I really don't have much a problem with it. I am still going to side with biology and science, sorry.

Just please remember, "agree to disagree."

No one likely cares about this, but I feel like talking about it anyway.

Minor spoilers below, read at your own risk.

For those who may not know a "nerf" is when you make a enemy/boss easier. Could be less HP, make them slower, change attack patterns or things like that.

On August 23rd the recent content update (Godmaster) release for Hollow Knight. Basically it's 5 separate boss rushes. After a while the PC version was updated and nerfed a few of the bosses. A little while later one more boss was nerfed.

Uumuu:
It was made slower,
it summons jellyfish more often,
the jellyfish rise slower,
the explosions from the jellyfish have a smaller radius thus reducing the chanced of you being damaged from them,
explosions cause more damage to Uumuu,
and Uumuu has less HP.

Collector:
The enemies Collector summons in Ascended difficulty, Radiant difficulty and the Pantheon of Hollownest now only take 1 attack to kill as opposed to 2.

Pure Vessel:
Pure Vessel takes 13 hits to enter staggered state as opposed to 15.

Final Boss:
Some attack patterns were modified to be more fair,
one attack was made more visible,
one attack during the final phase no longer bugs displaying a location where the attack will NOT appear.

It's worth mentioning that all of these mentioned nerfs did NOT go live on the Switch version until yesterday, so I can hold my head high and KNOW that I beat all bosses on Radiant and beat the Pantheon of Hollownest TWICE pre-nerf. =D

WARNING!!! PERSONAL OPINION ALERT!!!

Anyway, after the update was forcibly put onto my download of Hollow Knight I went in and tried Uumuu and the Collector. When I was struggling with the Pantheon of Hollownest the first time I took offense to the players that expressed displeasure about these nerfs. But after fighting the nerfed bosses myself I think I have to agree with those people.

The nerf to the Collector completely changes his fight. Yes it was tough to deal with his summoned enemies that took two hits to kill, but since Shade Soul kills them in one hit this issue isn't as bad. I never really had great trouble with his fight so I find this nerf to be unnecessary but it's not too bad.

Uumuu on the other hand was over-nerfed... Yes the boss was hard but like other bosses you can get used to it. Of all the nerfs I'd say less HP would be nice but ALL of the nerfs seems a little over board. I saw many Twitch streamers fight Uumuu and it looked ridiculous, but actually fighting it it's WAY too easy now.

The other nerfs are fairly harmless. The one to the final boss is nice as they were rather cheap and the one attack being more visible and doesn't bug out in the final phase is a welcome change.

Anyway, hardly an important journal. I just felt like talking about it.

So most video games have a game over or death state depending on the type of game. Even something as simple as a puzzle game can have a game over status on it.

What I will be speaking of here is the time it takes from the moment you die to the moment you can retry the thing you were doing be it a boss or a level.

In some games this retry time is very short; I Wanna be the Guy, Super Meat Boy, The End is Nigh and Celeste are very hard precision platformers. As such the retry time in these games is VERY short, less than half a second in fact. This is a VERY good thing considering some levels in these kinds of games can have you experiencing well over 100 deaths.

Some games have retry times that are a few seconds as there is a death animation, appearing on the map/level select screen and then loading in the level. Games like the 2D super Mario games come to mind. Now of course there are romhacks of Super Mario World that are very hard, like Super Kaizo World. This approximately 6 second retry time starts to become an issue when dealing with that difficulty. After 11 deaths you of course have 10 retries in between: 6 seconds x 10 retry times = 1 minute of waiting. So in other words after 101 attempts of the level you have been forced to wait 10 whole minutes doing nothing!

Now the reason I bring this up is I have been dealing with an especially bad retry time in a game, Hollow Knight. During the main game this isn't an issue at all and I have no problems with it. But in the recent update they introduced not only a boss rush but a way to fight every boss on their own so you may practice. In one area there are statues of every boss and when you examine said statues you may choose one of three difficulties to fight the boss on:
1: Attuned: Basically the standard version of the boss.
2: Ascended: Some bosses have changed arenas and every boss now does double damage. So if a boss did 2 damage it now does 4. >_>
3: Radiant: Same changed boss arena from Ascended, but now you die in one hit.

What I have gripes with is the retry time in regards to the Radiant difficulty of these bosses. The MINIMUM retry time for every boss is 10 seconds. So by 7 tries you have waited an entire minute. Here's the problem though, some bosses have intros. >_> One such boss has an intro roughly 20 seconds long on top of the 10 second retry time. So after only 3 tries you have already had to wait a minutes worth of retry time!
After 11 tries 5 minutes.
After 61 tries 30 minutes.
After 121 tries 1 hour.
I have been struggling with this hard (and rather cheap) boss fight for roughly 5 hours, and the thought that I may have been forced to sit and wait for nearly half of that time is appalling!
It's worth mentioning that every attempt at this boss can be a few seconds or maybe a minute or two. So nothing hurts more than dying in a few seconds and having to wait 30 seconds before fighting the boss again. A quick retry in the pause menu sure would make a lot of difference here. >_>

So why don't I stop trying? I know I CAN get it that's why! I have beaten every phase of the boss damageless so I know I can do it, but getting it all in one run is the hard part.

Hooray for talking about something no one will care about. >_>

So for all the people that hate notes and the FA note system in general it seems as though enough people like notes to actually use them! =O

One Hundred Million notes! That's a ton of notes for sure.

Obviously this isn't an important journal I just felt like talking about it since not a lot of people would take notice to it.
