Some people mentioned that "Overwatch 2" is now free! It's a great thing, right?

Unfortunately, not so; the big issue is not really the video game, but the COMPANY BEHIND IT.

The problem is, there's too much sexual harassment (especially towards women) that is in the company. And in a disturbing twist of fate, they even blamed MICROSOFT for it; yeah...if you REALLY think it's Microsoft's fault, WHERE'S THEIR PROOF?!? (You can look up evidence online that exposes them having sexual harassment in the company, if you must!)

I mean, let's face it; "Shantae" may have had it's controversies over stupid reasons, (arguing over the complaint about the notable female character designs encouraging anorexia) but at least it's not about a "superior gender" or anything like that! Plus, it's company, "WayForward Technologies", is actually a NICE game company that knows that it's only a cartoon art style, and they seem to be successful to both genders! (And on top of that, if folks are still a little concerned, they could at least put a warning game label that simply implies that it's just a cartoon art style, and was in no way meant to encourage anorexia, where if anyone is anorexic, they should go see a doctor ASAP!)

But Blizzard Entertainment went from decent, to the most EVIL video game company in the world; allowing sexual harassment towards women and lying about the rumors! If you think games like "Shantae" are sexist? THINK AGAIN! Blizzard Entertainment, even with fully clothed females involved, purposely ENCOURAGE sexual harassment, apparently!

All of the sudden? In comparison, we can EASILY compare video game franchises like "Mighty Switch Force". "Shantae", and "Skullgirls" suddenly look ACTUALLY FEMINIST, in comparison! (At least they're not about a "superior gender" or "superior orientation"! Especially since WayForward Technologies is a FAR nicer company, in comparison!

And after hearing about that pathetic nonsense? With the nonsense that Blizzard Entertainment's bosses made up, I WILL get an Xbox Series X, if possible and necessary! (As a way to give an appropriate and just insult to Blizzard, as well!)

I won't make you stop playing any of their video games. But my advice? If the game is owned under copyright by Blizzard Entertainment, DON'T BOTHER; you'd be better off playing a Chinese rip-off of ANY of their games! It's THAT HORRIBLE! (I advise you wait until Blizzard Entertainment goes bankrupt, first!)

Coach Z from "Homestar Runner" versus Bob Bobowski from "SMG4"; it's a battle between two rappers with CLEARLY more than two problems!

Will Bob Bobowski defeat Coach Z with his superior fighting skills with his swords?!? Or will Coach Z actually fight SMARTER, and defeat Bob with COMMON SENSE?!? Regardless in this ridiculous parody scenario, it would probably be the funniest Death Battle ever!

Um...as an art question? I do have a question to ask.

Among the characters designs from "My Hero Academia", which would you say in your opinion, is the best? (Izuku Midoriya / Deku, Tsuyu Asui / Froppy, Ochaco Uraraka / Uravity, Mina Ashido / Pinky, Tenya Ida / Ingenium, Fumikage Tokoyami / Tsukoyomi, etc.)

Wait...Saban originally tried to Americanize the Sailor Moon franchise, before they found out that the Japanese anime made it with American localization and dubbing in the U.S.? Well, at least Saban was trying to be entertaining without trying to offend anyone...AND at least it beats the terrible movie, "Dr. Strange: Multiverse of Madness"!

But I agree; this show only had one episode and was cancelled after that, because...well? Just localizing the anime outside Japan was a MUCH better call, in the end! (Which is why Saban cancelled the show. But hey; at least we now know what NOT to do!)

Intro = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0m2COrch8Q
Episode = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uA2VOuqaOnk

Or rather, results may vary. XD (Also? This is just meant to be silly, and is made to see what I think about a LOT of people who think about music genres! Not to judge people for their tastes in music. XD)

= Country (You're either a redneck, or you're one of those entitled egotistial people who like Taylor Swift, of whom is just another karen and sellout, who's into the country career for money; NOT for fun or for creativity, either! And honestly? I'd be better off with music from Nickelback; as long as they're TRYING to be entertaining without trying to OFFEND anyone!)
= Folk (Either you don't care for young folks, or you just like simple, understated, relaxing music!)
= Funk (Hey; you must be a Beegees fan!)
= Hip-Hop (It's got it's charm, but it might also be your life style, too!)
= Jazz (You just want to relax.)
= Pop (You're just a blatant stereotype in the crowd; not understanding what good music even IS.)
= Religious (You're either someone who doesn't understand music, or someone who HATES creativity and wants everything to be the SAME; in other words? A SIMP!)
= Rock; metal music kept clean (You like a little different, and that's understandable!)
= Rock; black metal (I don't get into details about this genre; FAR too hateful. Not to mention that folks who's favorite genre of music is black metal? That means you're probably hateful, and you have bad taste in music.)
= Rock; punk (I don't know what to say about it; results may vary!)
= Rock; soft rock (You just want to relax.)
= Propaganda (You HATE creativity, but unlike certain folks that are into music considered "religious", you live under a dictatorship and therefore have more REASON to do so!)
= Rap (4 words to describe a LOT of people that have this genre as their favorite: "PANTS ON THE GROUND!")
= Soul (Depends on whether you're trying to be creative or not, I guess.)
= R&B (At least you're not Miley Cyrus, of whom we do not talk about certain details in public, and to keep this description strictly nowhere beyond the PG rating? Miley Cyrus is CLEARLY delusional, and needs to go to a mental hospital due to HIGHLY abnormal behavior! I mean, religion or whatever is not my concern; it's how inappropriate her methods ended up being, as an adult! Not to mention that she's acting like a karen.)
= Disco (You might have forgotten that disco is widely considered "dead", by a lot of people.)
= Techno; rave music (Bring out some wubs to cause some wild moves!)
= Techno; house (You just wanna boogie!)
= Classical; orchestra (You like the good old days, from before cars were invented!)

When it comes to the difference between drama versus horror, within genres? Depends.

If the drama is NOT a comedy, I would generally prefer horror. Why? Well, with the "horror" genre, a lot of stories of the genre may be disturbing as far as being scary goes, but honestly? I think the genre was invented to warn us about the dangers of the unknown; including strangers that don't have a proper background check! Which makes perfect sense! Besides; when it comes to "Baldi's Basics" & "Five Nights at Freddy's"? They're actually quite hilarious!

Drama? If it's not dramatic comedy? Then I feel that it's either nothing special, or it's BORING AND LAME! ("Downton Abbey"? It's just SO boring, unfunny, and with excessive bickering, that I'd much rather watch "Teen Beach Movie", at least it was so bad that it's funny! And at least they were TRYING to be entertaining without trying to offend anyone; the creators just didn't know what they were doing, on that movie! XD)

Besides; I've been through ENOUGH of unfunny drama in my life...SERIOUSLY! If I must watch drama? I'd be best off with a dramatic comedy...and try to look for one that's fairly clean, too!

Here's my response, to challenge us WHICH among these two controllers is better?

Wireless Nintendo Switch controllers by PowerA
= Pros: Feel great, looks just fine, works for a little while, simple but effective design on the outside
= Cons: Prone to having it's motherboard fried for who knows why; (Perhaps due to a defective battery outlet) ultimately to the point where it's best off for parts in the end

Atari Jaguar controller:
= Pros: Built to last, feels fine, works excellently, unusual but effective controller design; especially for it's platform
= Cons: Not as useful for newer game platforms, widely criticized for it's looks

Winner: Atari Jaguar controller! (I used to have an Atari Jaguar console; REALLY! With at least 3 video games, and at least 1 controller! However, I currently regret having ever gotten rid of it at a yard sale or something, during my childhood; especially with a lot of great homebrew games being made for it, today! Besides...at least it's controller WORKS!)

My advice:

If you MUST buy a wireless Nintendo Switch controller from the "PowerA" brand? I advise only getting it IF you plan to recycle it for parts when it stops working! Otherwise? Don't buy it; you'd be better off buying a REAL Nintendo 64, (even with the N64DD add-on as a bonus) instead!

Based on the existence of various things like playing cards, advertisement cards, and the like? I did have one idea to recycle them.

Specifically, I'd try to use them to make custom MTG token cards! (Made to go inside clear card containers that are made to display trading cards for sale, too!)

Basically, I wouldn't mass produce them; I'd use sticker paper, (with the help of my printer) to add the image, and then after re-enforcing the construction using more than one card for making it sturdier, I'd then sell it at a cheap but reasonable price.

If you wish to see these made, which character would you wanna see printed on a custom MTG creature token card? (I assume RoninHunt0987's first pick would probably be Whisper the Wolf!)

Um...I have an art question to ask.

IF you wanted to see me draw any of these video games characters with an interesting attire of my drawing, which among them would be your first choice? (I listed them one per franchise, for reasons.)

= Akari Ichijo (The Last Blade)
= Ankha (Animal Crossing)
= Captain Falcon (F-Zero)
= Claus (EarthBound / Mother)
= Dizzy Gear (Guilty Gear)
= Jin Kazama (Tekken)
= King Hippo (Punch-Out!!)
= Liv Trainer (Custom Robo)
= Majora (The Legend of Zelda)
= Mai Shirauni (Fatal Fury)
= Marina Liteyears (Mischief Makers)
= Marth (Fire Emblem)
= Mega Man / Rock Man (Mega Man / Rockman)
= Momo Karuizawa (Rival Schools)
= Raspberyl (Disgaea)
= Ryu (Street Fighter)
= Simon Belmont (Castlevania)
= Solid Snake (Metal Gear)
= Specter Knight (Shovel Knight)
= Uriko (Bloody Roar)
= Yuri Sakazaki (Art of Fighting)
= *Other / Misc* {Unless you've got a better idea.}

P.S.; I have not forgotten to draw requests; this includes Ronin's fanmade "TOME" characters! (And if he'd like? I can draw a cute pic with Nisako Volt relaxing in her swimwear on the side!)

As for the Atari Jaguar? It was a good idea designed questionably. Not to mention SERIOUSLY OVERPRICED when it was new! (Being still not as good as the Nintendo 64 in hardware features & price value, either! Putting the Jaguar to shame. But still; there's GREAT GAMES for the Jaguar that deserve credit; including "Rayman", "Super Burnout", "EvolutionL Dino Dudes", "Atari Karts", "NBA Tournament Jam", "Doom", "Alien Vs. Predator", and even "Worms"!)

Granted, you can STILL make good games for it, but it's REALLY HARD to make more in-depth video games, for it...which is why most people that develop for retro platforms prefer to make more simple games for the Jaguar.

But it makes me think; MAYBE folks just need to make better GAME DEVELOPMENT TOOLS for the Atari Jaguar! (That way, you'd still have programming features, but it wouldn't feel like such a pain, for game developers!)

If that ever happens? I can then see people making their own emulation based Atari Jaguar clones that DON'T SUCK...AND are made cheaply! With them containing cartidge & controller connectors, as well as a disk slot, in case of Atari Jaguar CD games! (At least that, if not, a cheap, modern Windows desktop computer rebuilt to DEVELOP Atari Jaguar games! Almost like the Sega TeraDrive, but more modern and with HDMI support!)

And if that ever happens? I can imagine the Atari Jaguar being turned into a popular video game platform, for countries where most people couldn't afford the newer game consoles! (Especially the Nintendo Switch, the PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series!)

UPDATE: I now have a blog site to share these ideas! (Kept strictly clean & SFW, of course.)

https://atarijaguargameideas.weebly.com/

If you got any ideas for SFW art involving this cutie? (Flush the Temmie) Feel free to let me know.

https://www.furaffinity.net/view/46382777/

P.S.; while she is in fact, taken in Ronin's timeline, (her boyfriend is yet to be revealed) she doesn't mind good, clean cuddling!

You know? I've been thinking.

With my love for the "Lilo & Stitch" franchise? (Knowing how silly it is) I plan to design some anthropomorphic pokemon characters on the side, as stuff to be loosely inspired by it.

The idea would be to design an interesting one; the concept is that they all have some details left on their backstories, and how they took on new identities as "pokefolk", as they seek to make sense of their new lives.

In addition, I might design some adoptables on the side, too!

For this art challenge on the side? I plan to theme them after games I feel should be ported onto the Nintendo Switch! (With the ones I keep being side characters.)

https://davesgeekyideas.com/2011/04.....ole-pc-drives/

Based on this clever website that a friend of mine, found? I feel that there are some ideas that ACTUALLY HAVE POTENTIAL.

Seeing the idea for "clone console PC drives"? Here's what I would suggest; NOT for mass production, but for hobbyist crafts, for rebuilding PCs! (All of which, would of course, include the use of a regular hard drive motherboard; possibly taken from a broken laptop!

Method #1: Cartridge connector with controller slots!
With this method? This one's among my better ideas. And to double as a backup storage drive, that also works with ACTUAL emulation support!

All you really need besides breadboard hardware, with electronic wires, soldering metal, and the hard drive motherboard? Simply not much more, than the cartridge connector, cover for the cartridge connector, and the controller slots, and then after soldering? Put it all in a 3D printed shell!

For this craft? I would advise using parts from an obsolete, questionably made clone console, (like the Retron-5, Yobo FC Console, RetroDuo, SupaBoy, Retron 77, FC-Twin, and ANY non-emulation based consoles done by ATGames, as examples of a clone console done WRONG) for such parts, and then send the parts of flawed hardware clones to a recycling bin for plastics and such, near you! (I try to encourage folks to do their part in helping economy AND the environment!)

Method #2: Taking hardware from a defective game console!
When it comes to certain disk based game consoles that end up acting super-defective, (like the PS2, GameCube, & Wii, for example) DON'T get rid of the motherboard.

Instead? Try to work on open-source 3D printable hardware kits, to help take these motherboards of certain consoles, and then after 3D printing the converter hardware AND the shell for the new PC drive? Just add a modern hard drive with at least 100 GB of memory, (like what you would see, in laptops) inside the shell, itself! And then screw it together.

But with the hardware set up? All you would need next, is special downloadable firmware kits, where the motherboard of the console would be ready to function as a backup memory PC drive, that also makes emulation easier...even WITHOUT certain hardware from NVIDIA, to make emulation easier! (A good idea, for those that can't get the NVIDIA GeForce graphics card to work on a desktop PC, AND a clever way to recycle!)

For this method? Memory card slots and/or controller slots would be entirely optional, for a craft that would make running disks from certain consoles on a PC much easier, as well as FAR more excellent, in comparison...that way, you can run copies of games you already own, on your OWN PC, easily!

As far as this freeware game development software made for making video games on both the Game Boy and Game Boy Color, goes? Don't get me wrong; it's a BRILLIANT idea, with SO MUCH POTENTIAL! However? I feel that it still needs a lot more work done.

Out of respect to the creators? Here's what I think they should add, in the future:

= Different modules (To help make games of different genres. Including fighting games, racing games, turn-based RPGs, etc.)
= Optional support for Super Game Boy features (So the games made with it, could have optional features for Super game Boy; that was it almost looks as though it could be an NES game, but it would have support for SNES ROM instruments, for the soundtrack!)
= Multiplayer gameplay support (For at least up to 2 players to join in. Also being there, for certain Super Game Boy games, so the use of another Game Boy would not be required!)

So far? That's all I can say. If a KickStarter is to be done, to expand on it's development features that don't require computer coding? I'd be willing to pay AT LEAST 100 US dollars, for if they do a KickStarter, to expand the development on it, even further! That way, as long as someone has common sense, and knows how to properly use GB Studio? Potential 8 bit masterpieces could be made, among new video games!

Look; I had thoughts that troubled me. And just be warned; this is NOT to promote hate speech or bullying.

With PC gaming going downhill? I feel that there are PERFECTLY understandable reasons why many people switched to console gaming, and for good reasons.

Hold on; I'm not really saying PC gaming is TERRIBLE, but simply saying that Steam is something that MAKES PC gaming look WORSE, than the Apple Bandai Pippin! (The worst game console to at least TRY to be entertaining, and TRIED to provide decent games as far as it's library goes, but with so much wasted potential? Not a SINGLE good video game was released for it!) But seriously; Steam has gotten so bad, that you're better off spending your money on a REAL Atari Jaguar, just to play decent videi games made for it...like Rayman!!

Anyways, here are the reasons why I find console gaming to be SUPERIOR, in comparison.

#1: Consoles JUST WORK!
With Steam? They NEVER promise on whether your game will work on your PC or not, and it's cloud saves can't just be deleted super-easily like a game console; THAT is one of the reasons why I deleted my Steam account, because I couldn't get refunded for terrible games and apps.

With consoles? Video games are GUARANTEED to work better, than on a PC! (Although there are a few console games I avoid buying; like "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" and "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim", due to unnecessary game crashing glitches, that suddenly make "Balan Wonderworld" look like a must-play masterpiece, in comparison!)

As far as the PlayStation 5 & Xbox Series are concerned? I can wait until the library of games for it improve and expand. Until then? I'll just stick with the Nintendo Switch, for most of my video games!

As for PC gaming? I mostly stick with GOG.com, because it actually TRIES to promote customer satisfaction; something Steam does not! (Not to mention the refund policies are MUCH better, when it comes to terrible games and software.)

If you still think Steam works? Then I believe you should only say that, if you think "The Lara Su Chronicles" works better, for characters that Ken Penders originally made for the Archie Sonic comic! XD (No offense; I'm just saying.)

#2: Console gaming is CHEAPER
With the most effective PCs for gaming being SERIOUSLY PRICY?!? I feel that consoles are surprisingly more effective, in the market, today.

With PCs, as far as gaming is concerned? I feel that it's best for the listed things, below:

= Developing video games
= Playing freeware video games (Including fanmade video games, that are strictly unofficial; like "SRB2 Kart"!)
= Running mods for certain video games (Like "Sonic Mania"; get video games from anywhere except Steam, for all I care!)
= Video game platform emulation (Playing copies of video games, sometimes including bootleg copies of games you don't own legally commercial copies of, on your PC. Not that I encourage online piracy, of course. But it's no big deal and it's legal for non-commercial use, when it's abandonware, however.)

#3: Customer satisfaction
When it comes to Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft? They're at least TRYING to put customer satisfaction before the money. I mean, granted? The operating system is programmed and made to prevent bootleg copies of video games, due to make sure they make SOME degree of money, but that's understandable; it's console gaming. Not to mention that as far as policies go? They are to set them up, to STAY in business, so they don't get SUED. And that's a good thing to actually PUT the customer before the money; while it's true that business workers shouldn't be dormats to folks like karens? I still feel that they should also TRY to think about customer satisfaction, as well.

As for PC gaming? THAT'S where I'd be a LOT less concerned about, if I was in charge of ANY of those 3 companies. While I'd still have a little concern? I wouldn't mind however, if it was someone from certain countries like China, Kenya, Venezuela, and EVEN North Korea, of all things! (As long as folks from such companies are not using it to make profit or threaten innocent lives, of course!) Not to mention that Valve Co. carelessly allowed me to get ripped off FAR too many times, on games that don't work, and software that offers TOO little possibility, to the point where it's JUST NOT GOOD.

Not to judge? But unless Valve responds and LISTENS to their customers, you're better off deleting you Steam account, like me; I have no regrets doing that! (Besides; "GOG.com" "Epic Game Store", and "Itch.io" are ACTUALLY better, among game clients!)

#4: SO many games that aren't commercially released on PC!

With a lot of great games like "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate", "Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time", and "Blue Dragon"? THOSE are great games you just can't get on PC, except through video game emulation...and for certain platforms? You need A REALLY powerful PC to emulate video games for platforms, such as Saturn, PS2, GameCube, Xbox, Wii, and the like! (I advise at least good quad-core WIndows PC with NVIDIA GeForce graphics hardware installed, for those platforms! And Nvidia knows gaming on Windows PC better than any other company in the world, as far as hardware is concerned! Only downside is, it's REALLY pricy.)

Luckily, with help? I got my Windows gaming PC (which pretty much works) for around 500 US dollars, AND with it, I can actually play games I ALREADY OWN LEGALLY COMMERCIAL COPIES OF, for platforms such as the Wii, PS2, GameCube, and the like...and there are SO MANY GAMES for such platforms that aren't even ON Steam!

WIth Valve losing it? I guarantee you that either they'll go bankrupt, or they'll shut down Steam's store permanently, with them promoting all further video games they release, either on other video game clients they are not in charge of, or for old time's sake, being on video game consoles. And for that? I feel that if Valve actually CARED for their customers in any way, shape, or form? They could at least re-release "Team Fortress 2" on platforms, such as the Nintendo Switch...and even with help, make sure it works on the platform, too!

====

You see? Brains are not required; all you need is common sense to realize, that with too much complicated issues with Steam and PC gaming? I feel that for so many video games that lack proper mods made for them, (including "Shantae and the Seven Sirens", "Freedom Planet", "Shovel Knight", and the like) consoles are ACTUALLY more effective.

If I wanted PC gaming? I'd go for either fangames, original freeware games, or mods for official games. If it doesn't support the use for decent mods? You're better off getting it on a game console! (One of the reasons why I bought a digital copy of "Bunny Must Die: Chelsea and the 7 Devils", for my PS4!)

In the end? Unless you can more easily get a mod installed, to improve a game, or just add more stuff to a game? You're best off buying a console; even an old NES, (or a GOOD quality hardware-based clone console of it; made by companies such as Retro-Bit and Hyperkin) for all I care!

As for PC gaming? I advise that if you don't own a Steam account? Don't bother; you don't want to spend ANY money on gaming from it; you're better off saving that money for a Nintendo Switch, in fact!

Do I think PC gaming is a bad thing? In general, no. But do I still think Steam makes PC gaming look bad? YES! Do I think most people are best off with console gaming? Generally speaking, YES!

So, you see? Video games on PC may potentially have complicated issues. But when it comes to the Nintendo Switch? I tried the digital releases of "Monster Rancher 1 & 2" on the Switch, and...I realize that with such complicated, annoying gameplay, and a horrible combat system that makes "Shaq Fu" look good? That's a red flag where NO ONE should buy "Monster Rancher 1 & 2"; it's OVERRATED AND ABYSMAL, in comparison!)

In the end? Here's the basic idea; FAR less complicated issues are on consoles, but MORE complicated issues are on PCs. So in the end? In case your PC doesn't work well for gaming, I advise getting a newer video game console, like the Switch, Xbox Series, or PS5, on the side!

This is just a reference for characters that I have yet to draw, to remind myself on anthro pokemon that I'm drawing.

Alcremie; female
She began as a homeless woman with a cheeky, flirty nature. After her house got destroyed alongside every belonging she owned by a tsunami, she woke up unharmed, except her clothes (except her collar) were ruined. Which is why she realized she had barbie doll nudity (which was legal in public) this whole time, she would often visit one of her friends nearby, and until further notice, she lives in a nearby jungle, until she can find a man that needs her. (FACT: She ends up later on married, to a male anthro slurpuff, that's a professional artist, of whom will also be drawn.)

She's also a cousin to the alcremie sisters, that run an independent, premium convenience store!

Zoroark; (Hisuian) female
A rogue ninja that was a top wanted assassin in a country ruled by a terrorist dictator, she is calm, quiet, & cautious; a well meaning yet dangerous individual that no one has succeeded in torturing or even brainwashing.

With the flirty nature, many call her a "femme fatalle". (Yet of course, she prefers to keep things as close to a PG rating as neccesary and possible in public, as she prefers to save "you know what" for when she's married.)

Lilligant; (Hisuian) female
As a ninja, this particular lilligant has a very similar personality to Bernadetta from "Fire Emblem: Three Houses", (being shy and scared at times) yet she's got a troubled nature.

Yet of course, it's nothing about barbie doll nudity or any outfits that she likes wearing that cause embarrassment or fear; she just needs space, now and then. (While too nervous to admit it at times, she actually LIKES good, clean cuddling with a nice, trustworthy guy, within somewhere private, so nobody bothers her about it.

She also happens to be very clever however, as years ago, she DID run away from an abusive mother when she was human, used a potion to permanently transform her into an anthropomorphic lilligant, (so her "mother" would not recognize her) and then had herself legally re-named, with identity witness protection, involved; refusing to marry someone she does not love. (And while she has nothing against humans in general, she doesn't trust human adults, because most of them ended up being MEAN to her! And her trust is to be earned, regardless of age, gender, or even SPECIES.)

Kleavor; male
A samurai type figure that works at a restaurant, among chefs; he has hands that can transform into axe blades, that are not only useful for battle, but also make useful tools; including the use of them being used, for cooking.

When he's not instructing martial arts to those in need, (which he does for free; NOT for money) he makes his living as a humble chef...from a high quality Japanese restaurant that pays him VERY well, for his hard work!

Arceus; male
Widely compared to Dracula from the "Castlevania" game franchise, but not being a villain, and is otherwise well meaning. (Although a bit scary and VERY dramatic at times.)

With his past being a mystery yet to be revealed, he owns a nice, good-sized library, which is glad to help those in need, read. (And for when certain folks are being TOO loud, there are soundproof rooms at his library, to help with things like reading and studying.)

Funny fact: MOST of his employees at the library are MIMES! (But while not always using their skills and powers to benefit those in need, they usually prefer to use various things like sign language or morse code to communicate with some folks...or with certain machines to translate such speech, too!

WARNING: This journal entry gets PG-13.

Alright...if you're wondering, I decided that while I'm sick, I'm writing a journal entry that reviews the show "Gravity Falls". And WHY it's not very good. Also? This is NOT out of hateful intentions; I'm just making a statement.

Facts #1 & #2: The CREATOR, Alex Hirsch, and LGBT content!
Alex Hirsch...you may think he's a brilliant minded individual. But little does Disney seem to know, that he's actually very HATEFUL.

When it comes to people saying "no" to the highly suggestive "LGBT" content in kids shows, he calls them all "cowards" for not doing so. But here's the problem, dude; a LOT of TV shows that say no to that subject? People should have the RIGHT to say no; it's called FREEDOM TO EXPRESS ONESELF! If people don't want the subject in a show, DON'T MAKE THEM DO IT. Also? The subject is very often handled questionably; many people would only compare STRAIGHT PEOPLE to "evil" and "propaganda"; this is HIGHLY untrue, everyone.

Proven fact: I did my research, and Adolf Hitler was NOT in fact, a STRAIGHT GUY! I found out that he never had sex with anyone, (not even any women he was ever married, to) and he SECRETLY ADMIRED TEEN BOYS, WITHOUT DOING "YOU KNOW WHAT"...what a creepy perv, that gives the LGBT people a BAD NAME! (Not to mention that he never talked about his sexuality, but evidence points to the undeniable proof, that he is NOT in fact, a straight man...I'm sure he tried to "cure" homosexuality, to avoid embarrassment of not being straight, when he didn't know it wasn't a virus; he could have just taken HORMONE PILLS, when they got invented, if he's so concerned!)

Back then? It wasn't NEARLY as much of a big deal; pretty much no one was obsessed with such a suggestive subject. But, if you MUST put that subject in a show at all? AT LEAST show that, while people born certainly CAN be good people, let others know that they can also be the WORST of us, as well! (If you must show the HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE subject in a non-hateful light, to be more "real", even though it makes thong swimwear look COMPLETELY PG rated in comparison? DO IT RIGHT, people!)

Not to be hateful? But he's being HIGHLY EGOTISTICAL here, by not even TRYING to understand the others' point of view...a lot like Ken Penders and even ex-Disney employee, Kathleen Kennedy!

And it's a long story? But "oriental pride events" (regardless of peoples' orientation) basically have people use their orientation as an excuse to pick fights with others...and a lot of people who misuse "religion" are no better, in comparison; being an EQUAL problem! (Especially in America being the BIGGEST MESS IN THE WORLD, among capitalist countries!) Which completely go against the importance of the nicer, more modest PEACE EVENTS! (And if Alex Hirsch refuses to try and THINK about what he's doing, and seeing others' point of view? Disney should PROBABLY either fire him, or have him HUGELY DEMOTED, within the company's cartoon industry.)

Fact #3: IT DOESN'T NEED A SEQUEL...
Honestly? With how rude Alex is, I just hope that the video game that he wants to have made gets CANCELLED...because I don't want him being a bully to those that see things differently.

Not to mention with how mean he was? I think Disney would be better off leaving the project rejected and cancelled, in favor of a sequel to the hilariously bad and obscure "Avalon High" movie, to be written and directed by Stephanie Meyer; the author and writer of the "Twilight" book series! (As long as they make sure she keeps it fairly clean, and NOWHERE beyond the PG rating, either!) Or work with The Brothers Chaps to make "Two More Eggs: The Movie"! (Let's face it; "Two More Eggs"? HIGHLY UNDERRATED, for the comedy genre; it's literally Disney's equivalence of "Homestar Runner", and the series is free to watch on YouTube!)

Fact #4: There are OTHER franchises that need more attention!

Nuff' said, there; there's a LOT I'd like to explain, but it's a LONG, COMPLICATED STORY, and I don't want to go too off-subject, here!

====

I feel that unless heavily censored from any further releases and Alex Hirsch fired? I feel that Disney should either COMPLETELY REBOOT the "Graviy Falls" franchise, or sell the copyright of it, to a Russian cartoon studio, so they can do what they want with it, and basically move onto focusing on their more underrated franchises, too!

= My rating: 0/5 {ABYSMAL}

My "Pokemon HOME" friend code: RLGAJTQPARZB

For reasons? I set this up as my main journal entry for this account, due to boredom reasons.

With all the meltans I manage to keep getting in "Pokemon Go"? I'm offering them for trade.

Pokemon I'm willing to trade for, besides shiny pokemon, alongside legendaries & mythicals: (Since I'm trying to expand my "Pokemon HOME" pokedex):

"Furfrou" forms:
= Debutante Trim
= Heart Trim
= Kabuki Trim
= La Reine Trim
= Matron Trim
= Pharaoh Trim
= Star Trim

Pikachu forms:
= Aloha Cap
= Hoenn Cap
= Kalos Cap
= Original Cap
= Partner Cap
= Sinnoh Cap
= Unova Cap

Rotom forms:
= Fan Rotom
= Wash Rotom

Others:
= Floette (Eternal Flower form)
= Zarude ("Dada" form) {Alright; I know this one's a legendary, but still; that one's harder to find than the default variant of zarude!}

If you have an offer to suggest, please note me!

After how messed up my life has gotten, living in that dump of a small town, with NO friends, and NOTHING INTERESTING TO DO, and NO INSPIRATION, not even a GRANT to IMPROVE THIS TOWN, I need to make sense of my life.

Anyways...to start off with? Before I get back to trying to work on original stuff in the future, I have confirmed that since Capcom seems to be more interested in the overrated, elitist video game "Street Fighter V", as well as a potential sequel, (which HOPEFULLY ends up better and goes back to the old gameplay formula that the other games of the series had, like "Street Fighter IV") I feel that since they're probably going to take BASICALLY FOREVER to continue the "Mega Man ZX" series? I've decided to work on a fanfic that takes place RIGHT after "Mega Man ZX Advent", where there shall be also be an expanded point of view on Thomas...what did he mean by "resetting the world"? What are his TRUE intentions and motives?

That I shall try to work on the details of, (since we've never been given much detail) by working on a not as black & white fanfic story; "Mega Man ZX Heroes"!

Some people argue that this game is ACTUALLY GOOD...but DON'T LISTEN TO THEM; DO NOT BY ANY MEANS, BUY A "MONSTER RANCHER" GAME FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH!

When I was playing "Monster Rancher 2"? I only LOST tournaments, no matter HOW loyal my monster in game was. (Not to mention it's combat system SUCKS and doesn't even CONTROL well!) And even worse? The game's HORRIBLY imbalanced and broken; more so than "Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite"!

My advice? DON'T BUY THIS GAME, AS IT'S TOO TIME CONSUMING AND CONFUSING; you're better off with "Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite" for your PC, just so you can do run it modded, with a gameplay re-balanced mod!

Not to mention it's bad enough, that the hilariously bad anime from the 90's is actually BETTER than this video game!

My rating: 0/5 (Abysmal)

I have confirmed one thing.

On the side? I plan to do fanart of browser games! (With reviews to go with them!) Here are the rules of the challenge:

= #1: The game must be FREE; without using ANY money to play it!
= #2: The game must NOT be a social game, idle clicker, or freemium game!
= #3: The game must not require ANY sort of plugin to play it!
= #4: Lastly? It must be kept STRICTLY CLEAN AND SFW! (Both the artwork AND the games, themselves!)

And don't get me wrong; I haven't forgotten that I'm to draw out requests and such, but I need to broaden my art horizons, with something nice on the side; that's all!

If you think there's a fun, free browser game that you want to see me make artwork of, with a review to go with it? (Whether it's original or fanmade) feel free to let me know, in the comments below! (But just remember the rules of this future art challenge!)

Confirmed to be worked on, later:

= 50K Racewalker
= Kid Speedy
= Peasant's Quest
= Pigs on Head
= Population: Tire
= TROGDOR!
= Where's An Egg?

Granted, I admit that I WAS going to get back to designing an anthropomorphic ender dragon adoptable for a certain user, but he/she isn't here on the site anymore. (And so, as a result, I will plan to draw the adoptable later, as a freebie for any user that never received one from me.)

But until then? I'm wondering...is there a Bomberman fangame, where you can make your OWN custom characters, stages, and the like? If so, let me know! (If nothing else, that would make a GREAT fangame using the "Doom" engine!)

I know it's a bad economy, and haters are gonna hate.

But with a lot of fictional franchises that at least TRY to be entertaining, while avoiding unnecessary controversy? (As well as TRYING to be creative) It seems a lot of media of today is getting FAR more hate, than it actually DESERVES...especially with so many Americans of today's standards lacking a proper sense of imagination, and shoving nationalist (and occasionally sexist and/or racist) propaganda up our butts. (Metaphorically speaking, that is.)

This is why when it comes to some fictional characters that are hated for RIDICULOUS reasons? I'll give them some slack, by drawing them in awesome looking toku-satsu style designs! (And maybe some other designs like that on the side, too!)

Also, what better way to mock IGN for hating the "Sonic The Hedgehog" fanbase, too?!?

Plus? I might make characters from franchises that IGN probably SUPPORTS look ridiculous...like something Ken Penders drew, for "The Lara Su Chroncles"! (Done as a parody, of course! XD)

Do any of you think I should design custom felt puppets, so various people online could make silly puppet shorts on YouTube? If so, I'd sell them on eBay! (Although I'd have to design some puppets of my own as keepers, first.)

Because I know of some users on FurAffinity that would probably LOVE to have at least one of these, for YouTube original shorts:

=  JoshPikaDPLover2017 (Someone with a love for the "Pokemon" franchise, and often shares things with his watchers...and has adorable pets of his own! Maybe he'd like to do silly YouTube original shorts with at least one puppet character of his own, interacting with his pets?)
=  MaverickHunterDBoy (A friendly individual, and an independent video game developer with a good, colorful sense of imagination. Maybe he'd be interested in doing YouTube original shorts, with at least one puppet character and his animals, involved?)
=  RoninHunt0987 (My good friend, and a story-writer with a HILARIOUS sense of humor! He even introduced me to "SMG4"...which I would not recommend to anyone below the age of 18, for reasons, but it's mostly just SO dang silly!)
=  TheRealYhai (Well, he IS a silly individual...and with a fun goofball like him? I'd love seeing his sense of humor! One of the reasons why I had to show him the hilarious & absurd animated short, "Welcome To Kitty City". XD)
=  Madbum (I will admit that this person is rather socially awkward. But I know he doesn't mean any harm, as people get the wrong idea, and he is into certain questionable content, let's just say. But I know he's into some clean content as well, and he certainly has a love for over the top wacky cartoons! And for that? Maybe he'd like to have a puppet character of his own, for comedy stuff that's perhaps NOWHERE BEYOND PG-13...knowing the concerns of others on YouTube, of course!)

Franchises that inspired me on this idea:

= Between The Lions (Fairly underrated, for an educational, live-action puppet comedy! Granted, even though it's nothing to die for, it has it's moments that are ACTUALLY VERY CLEVER, as far as the funny factor goes...AND it's a lot like "Sesame Street", but it teaches English! With a likable cast, a good clean sense of humor, and some clever jokes! I especially recommend checking out the "Yard Sale" episode, if you're curious! The only thing I don't care for though, is too many un-needed musical numbers. But other than that? It's cute silliness, that NEVER stopped trying to be entertaining!)
= Don't Hug Me I'm Scared (This one I wouldn't recommend to anyone under the age of 16, for reasons. NOT merely due to "creepy, disturbing" stuff, but because of the unnecessary use of strong language in the final episode...EVEN though it was only brief. But regardless, if it wasn't for the language, I would actually recommend this, to those aged 13 or older. In addition, underneath it's wacky, creepy sense of humor lies something DEEP AND MEANINGFUL, as a metaphor...theorists ended up getting the basic idea of it CORRECTLY! Will there be another season to the series, that takes place in another universe? Well...only time will tell! But I hope they keep the plot and dialogue nowhere beyond PG-13...that's just my respectful response, anyway!)
= Homestar Runner (ESPECIALLY with it's puppet based episodes and segments! I mean, it's creative how the Brothers Chaps managed to make puppet versions of a few of their own characters, too! Also? I'm sure it's not that hard to make original felt puppet characters, either!!)
= Sesame Street (A TIMELESS classic, among live-action puppet comedies! It's also educational, too!)
= This Cat Is NED (OMIGOSH YES! This new YouTube original series featuring a puppet cat character is actually PRETTY DANG WACKY, and I've gotten into watching it, recently! Plus, Ned's just a funny cat character, that some YouTuber made...even to the point where it reminds me of MY cats! XD)
