It is with DEEP regret that for reasons, I might not come back to FA, after hearing about the staff defending some really horrible people, as I heard from my pal,  RoninHunt0987.

I will not seek conflict with ANYONE, but I will be more active on Weasyl until further notice, JUST in case FA's policies DO NOT reform and start making the RIGHT choice, in standing up against criminal activity. (I will also be moving many of my works to FA, just in case.)

That is all.

I'm terribly sorry to everyone on DIscord; I kinda got the wrong idea and things were kinda getting toxic with fictional characters via tupperbox.

I guess I may have been overreacting a bit, but...I've been REALLY stressed out, recently, and have been having WAY too many bad days, to the point where overly serious drama wasn't good for me, so I had to leave and delete my account as a result.

I have no regrets being on Discord, but I feel that it's just time for me to move on; that's all.

I hope you folks can forgive me.

As a little project...I got an idea.

You know those old hardware based lone consoles, right?

I'm actually thinking of MAKING one that's homemade...an Atari Jaguar clone console, in fact!

Granted? It may seem like an odd idea for a DIY video game console project, but...knowing how expensive hardware emulation based consoles currently are? This wouldn't be a bad project! (That way, I can make it for playing video games that are on cartridge AND disk, for the Atari Jaguar, without the need of any add-ons...AND be able to test controllers to make sure they work; whether 1st party or 3rd party!

I think it's very doable. Thing is, I'll probably need a breadboard, so I don't have to worry about any soldering, and simply set it up so things are on and won't fall out so easily! (And give it a good customized case, too.)

THIS VIDEO GAME IS AWESOME...AND is fun!

An open-world 3D "Donkey Kong" video game where you get to break through various obstacles and gather lots of gold, while trying to find special magical bananas, which you need to power up! CLEVER!

I also got the feeling that based on the game's overall concept? This younger version of Pauline is likely from the past, and is looking for Donkey Kong's help to help return back to her time period!

Either way? I love the concept of it's overall optional co-op, too!

I have terrible news.

One of my mom's pet hens (Ava) just died, either last night or earlier this morning.

We don't know how she died, but my big bro buried her in mom's yard, and gave her a PROPER burial.

May she rest in peace.

In memory of Ava (A friendly hen that LOVED to be petted)
??? - 2025

Not to be political here, but I am DEFINITELY watching the "Minecraft" movie, when I get the chance! (I can tell that it's downright hilarious!)

As for the "Snow White" 2025 film? DO NOT WATCH; it's NOTHING but unfunny, boring, and dull propaganda that is INSULTING. (And is NOT the same film as the original animated film by Disney...you wanna see Snow White at all? STICK WITH THE ANIMATED CLASSIC; it's TIMELESS and HEARTFELT, in comparison to the terrible live-action film, where our "heroine" felt COMPLETELY out of character!)

In due respect to Disney? It's like, COME ON! You guys can do FAR better than that! It's thanks to "nostalgia" that your company is still THERE to begin with! (DON'T go so far to promote propaganda! You wanna make propaganda media? Make those for countries under DICTATORSHIP RULE...like NORTH KOREA!)

To Rachel Zegler; your bad behavior is the REASON why a lot of "men" are actually SUPPORTING American Patriarchy; a lot of these so-called "feminists" are actually FEMALE SEXISTS that either have a THING against men, or are just spoiled immature snots that think "men are inferior". (Especially when sexism is SO kindergarten! Regardless of which gender it's from!)

Anyways, on the topic of the "Minecraft" movie? I saw a clip of it; it looks downright HILARIOUS! (I am DEFINITELY watching it!)

Basically, I'll list a few rip-offs that, while having it's positives, just feels like merely cheap rip-offs of "Pokemon" in the end, due to being FAR TOO SIMILAR!

Due to not being distinct enough, like franchises such as "Medabots", "Digimon", "Robopon", "Yo-Kai Watch", and the like? I feel that these are just merely an excuse to rip off pokemon just to make money. Here are my thoughts.

Temtem
While I do not mind the simple designs of the creatures, and some distinction to the gameplay? I feel that it feels far too much like a generic "Pokemon" rip-off, in comparison. With most of the designs being nothing special, they also made humans look just plain UGLY and UNATTRACTIVE, within the said art style!

Granted? "Invader Zim" may have a LOT of ugly looking humans, but that's because they're supposed to be an EXAGGERATION of how stupid and non-ideal that most humans really ARE! (Without being hateful.) But this? Uh...can they AT LEAST allow other races or other art styles as an option?

If I WANTED to play this video game, I'd play it MODDED...with the graphics for people being REPLACED with a NOT UGLY ART STYLE!

Coromon
A cheap generic "Pokemon" rip-off with far less creatures, less types, and overall JUST less fun!

If I wanted a generic "Pokemon" rip-off among "monster catching" games, I could have gotten one FOR FREE!

Nexomon
This franchise, after playing "Nexomon: Extinction"? I praise it for it's great sense of humor and a few clever designs, but overall? It's gameplay still lacks GREATLY, compared to "Pokemon"!

This video game franchise still feels like a generic "Pokemon" rip-off in the end...and for that? I'll give this one a pass.

Monster Rancher
Granted? This one is not as generic, compared to your average "Pokemon" clone...being NOT about catching "monsters", but instead, CREATING them from various breeds and sub-races, RAISING them for adventuring and battle tournaments, and then when they pass away? Create a new monster, and pass down some of the deceased monster's own experience to another monster! (But no evolution forms for them, either!)

That basic idea on pen & paper? EXCELLENT! But there's one problem; it's combat system is ABYSMAL; making "Shaq Fu", "Ballz 3D", "Tongue of the Fatman", and "Street Fighter 1" look GOOD, in comparison!

This one is SO DANG CLOSE...had it not been for a horrible combat system that performs horribly that also gives you a headache? And instead plays more like a traditional arcade fighting game, with it's battle gameplay mechanics? I would have advised checking it out! But because they didn't? Eh...if I wanted "Monster Rancher"? I'll just stick with the old anime adaptation! (It's actually FAR BETTER than the video games, themselves!)

If I MUST play the video games? AT LEAST mod them to give them a NEW combat system, that plays and controls more like a traditional arcade fighting game! One that's actually TOLERABLE and EASY TO USE!

Amazing Island
This one is ALMOST a winner! But the problem? Game crashing glitches, on it's release!

THIS is exactly why free downloadable updates for video game consoles (to help with bug-fixes) is a good move, for modern game consoles! In addition, this game was a good idea that was FAR too ahead of it's time...WE NEED to have an enhanced version of this game WITHOUT the game crashing bugs!

Why? I just love the idea of creating a monster based on the design shape of choice, and then customize them as I please, to use them to compete in minigames...which is really a clever concept that made this game WAY too ahead of it's time!

My thoughts in the end
Sometimes, good ideas aren't always done right! While in other cases, it's really sad, that many people are forced to "rip off" Nintendo's "Pokemon" franchise to avoid being sued, when a lot of those folks try to make fangames! But to avoid being sued by Nintendo, people are forced to only release patches for "Pokemon" roms, to do fangames as nothing but romhacks, within regions where it is in a lot of cases, legal for nonprofit & noncommercial use!

Besides; with "Pokemon" being a GREAT basic idea, there are a few problems within it's particular combat system:
= The resistances and weaknesses of pokemon type combinations JUST isn't balanced enough, despite Nintendo trying!
= The stats need to be SIMPLIFIED to work better, on "Pokemon", to guarantee a more balanced experience!
= The official "Pokemon" games of the main series? They're more suitable for casual play, rather than competitive play. (Much like "Street Fighter Alpha 3" or "Marvel Vs. Capcom: Infinite"!)

And that is all I have to say about these!

With 2025 now here? I'm adding a new folder to my gallery, to help organize it.

To  RoninHunt0987; since it's currently 2025? I think we could do a RP that introduces Cele the Fox, soon...if you want!

I'm definitely getting a new battery for my Game Boy Advance SP. Why? Here's why.

= #1: The said rechargeable battery doesn't last long at a time, with GBA games, but runs fairly well with GB & GBC games.
= #2: It's battery life is so short, that it's obsolete, and if I wanted to play GBA games on it longer? I'll have to leave the charging cable plugged in, with the GBA itself, turned on. (That way, if the battery were to be "ruined", it won't be a big deal, because it's already RUINED, or just obsolete.)
= #3: I know that there are after-market batteries for the GBA SP by third party makers that are actually BETTER than the original first party ones!

And...that's basically it; what I plan to do with the old one? I'll use it for a little while longer (while the charging cable plugged in for gameplay) and then as soon as the new one comes in? I'll just toss out the old one, unless Best Buy can accept it for recycled materials.

And that's all I can say, at the moment.

UPDATE:

I just ordered an 850mAh battery, which should last me up to at least 3 hours before needing to be recharged again!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diZsbr0RZPY

Anyways...I had a thought about "Palworld", after too many legal issues that recently happened with them being sued.

It makes me question; with a lot of problems that the said indie game creators had, it's a great idea that needs A LOT more work...and if they don't have time to try and improve the gameplay or simply redesign and re-name some of the said creatures. why not sell the rights of "Palworld" to Microsoft?

Maybe then they can not only add more mechanics, (such as the option to actually BOND with your "pals", the game's equivalent of pokemon) and even be able to have 1st party guest stars...such as Master Chief and The Arbiter, from the "Halo" series, for example! (As CANON characters within that universe!)

In addition? I would also advise the said characters OWNED under copyright by Microsoft as MAJOR VILLAINS for this game. (Examples listed one per franchise!)

= Delphine (The Elder Scrolls)
= DIablo (Diablo)
= Gargos (Killer instinct)
= Mizar (Jet Force Gemini)
= The Prophet (Halo)

The quest system on GameJolt doesn't work.

Unless GameJolt has that problem fixed by Sunday? I'll delete my GameJolt account, and go to FaceBook, instead. (And yes; I AM going that far; saying that I'd rather support a website that ACTUALLY WORKS, rather than a site that is super dysfunctional.)

NOTICE: This journal is not to be hateful, but to make a point.

To my fellow users; here are examples of why you DO NOT want to live in North America. While the said countries listed have their positive sides? I advise immigrating to another continent, instead, for the said reasons. (P.S.; if I had to live in a country with NTSC formatted tech? My first choice would be Japan, due to a more reasonable, understandable government, these days...also due to the fact that it's become more sensitive and understanding of mental disabilities, which they understand people can't help.)

Canada
Maybe it's got some problems I haven't heard much about, but I feel that the idea of people being forced into being euthanized is MOSTLY a lie...where hospitals probably didn't do so, but maybe it's a few corrupt staff members that were VIOLATING the law and making it look like the person signed up to be euthanized...causing confusion to the people, as a result.

This is concerning, but...just in case? I've decided that I won't immigrate to this country, as I'm sure there are other problems I haven't heard about. But I'm sure it wouldn't be a bad idea to visit Toronto or Ottawa on vacation. But to LIVE there? I advise not bothering.

Mexico
While not a scam? It's certainly the biggest crime ridden mess, among the 3 countries.

The problem? Too many dangerous drug cartels, as well as a government that is mostly LAZY...probably taking bribes from the drug cartels to avoid financial problems.

But...that's the problem; by doing so, they're encouraging people to try and immigrate somewhere else. (If people from Mexico must immigrate to another country for safety? I advise Spain, instead of the United States or Canada, due to being similar to Mexico in some ways, but being MUCH less of a mess in comparison!)

If you must go to this country just to visit and be on vacation? I advise sticking with Mexico City, and nowhere else.

United States
Don't get me STARTED!

It's become not only perverted and inappropriate for children in so many ways, (and no; certain "revealing attires" have nothing to do with that) but it's gotten to the point where it has American pharmaceutical companies that are LEGAL drug lords that threaten your rights to choose a free general health care plan, (which most countries have; including capitalist countries free of dictatorship) an absolutely HORRIBLE education system, a MASSIVELY politically divided population, an economy RUINED by tax fraud, LACK of a proper amount places that recycle, and worst of all? A MOSTLY CORRUPT, GREEDY, DISHONEST GOVERNMENT...where most people are actually TRYING to destroy our rights of independence and individuality, in the name of MONEY.

Basically? It's become a scam....and this country has SO much in common with Mexico, as far as being messed up, goes!

The entire nation, due to being pricy, is not ideal to live in, and...it's currently best off as one massive sized tourist attraction...FOR THE RICH! (At least until it's worst problems are fixed.)

========

Where do I plan to immigrate to in the future? I don't know...but if America's problems REALLY get that bad? I'll pack my things, and run off to New Zealand and basically seek safety, there...as well as hopefully immigrate there, too.

I realized that I have more than 300 watchers...which means...

For reasons, this is not my main journal entry.

But...if I were to draw a gal in Claretta Niko's notable new outfit? (With color schemes varying) I listed some gals that could wear the said thing, owned by GameJolt users. (To support their hard work.)

I'll do so after I draw a gal from  The_Go1den_Fox wearing the said kind of outfit. Until then? Onto the list of possibilities I have. (I won't do so without permission, though...and it's only for if the said users are interested/)

= DannyTheFoxBoy -> Ai the Panda (Unless he's got a better idea...like maybe some kind of new gal that isn't a mobian!)
= Ognimod -> ??? (Maybe he'd like for me to draw some kind of new cute gal, of some sort? Perhaps some kind of cute lady that is a snuggle buddy to his sona.
= PaladinDBoy -> Fadila Orchanceux (Cute & gorgeous cabbit gal that I drew as an adoptable...portrayed as a fashion model from France!)
= TomTodd774 -> Syn the Irken (Unless he's got a better idea...like maybe some kind of sexy adult-aged seedrian gal that is also a professional escape artist.)
= T_Yhai -> Yhai (Female version) or Verena (A bush viper gal that I'm offering to share rights to, with that particular user.)

We need a REAL president; not a dictator!

Forget Donald Trump or Joe Biden; we need a president that will actually TRY to unite the country and deal with it's problems; not someone who isn't doing well!

And you know what? With how famous and honest Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is? I'm SO voting for him!

I was just watching "Kamen Rider Gaim", but I just found out My mom's dog was just killed by wild coyotes...and we couldn't find her. (On top of that, she was blind.)

2009-2024

UPDATE, from 5/20/2024, on 7:15 PM:

I have both good AND bad news.

The bad news? Lilo INDEED died.

The good news? Lilo WASN'T attacked by coyotes. (Instead We found out that she died of a heart attack near a telephone pole.)

I truly miss her; especially those days when she was a puppy, and she would leave out a precious, pitch perfect howl to a fire truck siren!

WARNING: This is nothing of hateful or insulting intentions, but I'm trying to make a point.

While Hasbro has had it's postiives over the years, I feel that by being too nationalist and NOT thinking about the wider audience, I feel that they went from decent to just plain lazy and even to an extent, RACIST, in recent years, by not thinking enough about international appeal.

With too many bad toy designs, Jada Toys is doing MUCH better in the toy industry, in comparison!

But as far as overall media goes? I'll compare franchises, to show franchises with things in common, that in my opinion, do it PRETTY MUCH BETTER! (I'm also listing STRICTLY toy based franchises...NOT franchises based on board games!)

Iconic Hasbro Franchise: "Transformers"
While "Transformers" has had it's clever moments, likable cast, and interesting writing now and then? I feel that some reboots are kinda dry, even compared to the "Gen 1" continuity.

And let's face it; while the cartoons and comic adaptatiosn of this franchise are usually decent? I feel that the toyline is in a MUCH more gray area; either being decent, or terrible.

Besides; do we HAVE to bring up Michael Bay? XD

Unowned franchise that does It Better: "Gundam"
I will admit it; it does have it's model kits in the past that aren't well done, but typically speaking? Model kits from this franchise are actually NOT BAD. And any action figures I remember from this franchise? The ones I remember my older brother getting are actually WELL BUILT; imperfections and all!

But seriously; with a lot of more color to this franchise, I know the writing of it's anime & manga are ALSO in a gray area; being about the same as the "Tranformers" franchise.

But as far as ALL other products other than comics and cartoons go, within this franchise? "Gundam" typically does it BETTER...typically putting the "Transformers" franchise to SHAME!

Iconic Hasbro Franchise: "G.I. Joe"
The way it apparently tried to "brainwash" a generation of children into buying toys? Uh...Hasbro did a bad move, there...suddenly making COBRA look like the good guys, here! (Makes me wonder in most alternate universes, DO WE HAVE IT MOSTLY BACKWARDS?!?)

With most of it's later cartoon reboots gotten bad? I think I'd much rather stick with alternatives.

Unowned franchise that does It better: "Small Soldiers"
The first movie was just plain AWESOME! With more memorable characters, better writing, and not to mention a GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR! (And didn't feel like a mere excuse to sell toys and games, either!)

Honestly? Maybe Dreamworks should hire a good third party indie game developer, to make a BETTER video game adaptation, that doubles as a SEQUEL to the movie?

Iconic Hasbro Franchise: "Power Rangers"
Technically? It's just the American side of the Japanese "Super Sentai" franchise, but as it's own continuity...which I feel was a bad move. (Long story.)

While I will admit that the American series had some GREAT ideas? (Including "The Morphin Grid", which was VERY creative, actually...same for some ENTIRELY ORIGINAL characters they made, including the WONDERFULLY AWFUL Ivan Ooze!) I feel that Saban has just made an excuse to waste even MORE money, back then, and should have waited to make a sequel to the Japanese series that it took footage from, instead.

Fortunately? There's always fan-fiction that does it better!

Unowned franchise that does It better: "Super Sentai"

Again; "Power Rangers" is technically just PART of this franchise, but part of it that is CURRENTLY owned by Hasbro.

If Saban was even SMARTER back then? They would have simply localized "Kyōryū Sentai Zyuranger", (and used some degree of footage editing, some bits of the episodes removed with minor plot changes if ANY, and minor differences to dialogue, and re-named certain characters just in case) and then decided to make a new SEQUEL series with NEW characters taking on the mantles of the said Zyurangers, afterwards! (Focusing on an ENTIRELY NEW opposition filled with newly made villains, as the threat...with 6 teens from the United States battling against them, with Zordon being the NEW team's mentor!)

While American made "Power Rangers" began as good stupid fun? It got REALLY downhill in recent years...with too much bad writing and questionable decisions, to the point where in comparison? It feels more like nationalist propaganda, rather than a believable story...hence why I actually made a SMART decision; since I lived in a free country? I DO have the right to choose for myself! And so? I switched to the better written Japanese continuity, which has MOSTLY better writing, an even BETTER sense of humor, and on top of that? Also more thought provoking.

I realized that after watching episodes of the said Japanese series? I've been missing out on A LOT...including the fact that when it comes to "Gosei Sentai Dairanger"? It's hilarious, because the White Ranger's own sword is ACTUALLY his own character, with his own personality and clever dialogue, even! (Take THAT, Hasbro!)

Iconic Hasbro Franchise: "My Little Pony"
The toyline has it's ups and downs.

When it came to MOST of it's cartoons? They weren't really good, but they sometimes had their moments that were worth seeing.

When it came to "Friendship Is Magic"? It started off as the reboot we needed...until writing MUCH LATER, got a bit questionable and not exactly suitable for younger viewers. (And no; I am NOT talking about violence, more tragic moments, or "darker" episodes, either.)

But the worst part? Hasbro HATES fangames and is super strict against them...especially when Hasbro is ALREADY making plenty of money! (I get that some of the bosses of Nintendo are very concerned about fangames at times, but hey; they probably don't MEAN anything bad; I think they're just confused and don't get that a lot of these fangame developers should instead, be given the chance to be HIRED into their company, instead...perhaps Nintendo should make some of these fangames into REAL OFFICIAL video games!)

Anyways...in other news? Hasbro tends to think more about ADULTS rather than children in recent years.

Unowned franchise that does It better: "Klonoa"
When it comes to anthropomorphic characters, "Klonoa" ALWAYS had more heart and soul, as an overall franchise! (Although I personally DO think "Klonoa Heroes" could have some censorship within dialogue, to keep the plot and dialogue STRICTLY PG rated, and appeal better towards a wider audience...possibly through an enchanced remake, later on!)

While very different, lore-wise? I personally think that it's overall games and characters are much more interesting...I mean, I'd LOVE to see "Klonoa 3" happen! (And hopefully? Bandai Namco will make it as a co-op action experience, for old and new gamers, alike...as a good, clean, PG rated experience for a wider audience!)

I was going to list "Them Fighting Herds" on this list, but...I never actually PLAYED that game, yet. (I also know that NEITHER are toyline based franchises, but...that's not the point; we need better QUALITY in media; not just an excuse to sell toys, games, and the like, either!)

Iconic Hasbro Franchise: "Nerf"
Nerf had great ideas over the years, but getting a PROPER toy weapon (not a real one) from this brand? That depends on what you're talking about.

When it comes to "Nerf Rival"? No cigar, due to the fact that those foam balls REALLY HURT when fired from these...even to the point where they're LITERALLY air soft guns!

When it comes to some of those motorized ones? They're usually NOT VERY GOOD...and BARELY WORK!

Unowned franchise that does It better: "Boom Co."
The Nerf competitor that DID IT RIGHT!

ALWAYS promoting a good quality toy products BEFORE mass producing it? EXCELLENT move!

EXCELLENT range from these, in a way that DOESN'T HURT? AWESOME WORK, Mattel!

Safe AND with excellent air flow to the toy darts; SOLD! (The only problem is? I don't know if Mattel even MAKES these, anymore. (But if you're fortunate? You can find some of these in thrift stores for cheap prices!)

Iconic Hasbro Franchise: "Kre-O"
Actually? This is just a rip-off of the "Lego" toy brand.

The only real upsides about it is, it's earlier toylines had well made minifigs with more posing capability, compared to Lego's minifigs...and of course, having head-parts that are compatable with Lego minifigs! (Combined with fair prices.)

When it comes to the later building block sets (without the "Kre-O" logo) newly sold by Hasbro that we see in stores today, based on the "G.I. Joe" and "Power Rangers" franchises? They're TERRIBLE and LAZILY PRODUCED; DO NOT BUY THEM!

Unowned franchise that does It better: "Lego"
When it comes to imperfections, at least Lego TRIES to put quality before quantity in their products...ALWAYS! (Even with some obsolete Lego sets that are not very well made and some often overpriced for what we got.)

Plus, Lego is known to have a GREAT sense of humor, too!

====

You see? When it comes to cartoons and comics, the problem is bad or obsolete writing.

As for the toys? They're not always as well built.

To Hasbro; if you're reading this? If you REALLY care about the children, THINK ABOUT THE WIDER AUDIENCE, across the world...also promote DECENT QUALITY, within toys, too! (Toys don't have to be perfect; all I ask if you is to make a good quality product, so you can do BETTER in the toy industry!

I SWEAR...if the folks that OWN GameJolt DON'T fix it's server problems by TONIGHT, I WILL leave it..and go so far to try and search for a less buggy alternative, to replace it, with!

The news for today, as of my day. (As working as a homestead assistant.)

Fact #1: The baby chickens
They're doing great! In fact, all 6 of them have apparently gotten used to me, and basically greeted me "good morning", after I took the blanket off the top of their pen; with 5 of them jumping on top of the warming pad, to greet me! (We'll be building them a chicken coop for when they're older quite soon. Sometime this year, in fact.)

I noticed that they started to enjoy my company, and even started to enjoy being petted! (In fact, I think they start to think of it as a game to playfully walk away from me petting them with my finger...which is cute and silly!

Not to mention that the chiweenie dogs within the family certainly enjoy their company!

Fact #2: The chiweenies
My dogs are of course, doing fairly fine...nothing really unusual happened with them, really. (As far as I could tell.)

Fact #3: The finches
My parents, of whom got finches (full grown ones from a pet shop) on the day BEFORE we got baby chickens, seem to be doing fine. As finches have ALWAYS been cute!

The said finches, Carl & Ellie, are very lively and vocal! (What's not to love about finches? They're so peaceful and lovely...not to mention ADORABLE!)

Fact #4: PC Gaming
If any of you like the "Halo" series? I suggest trying the "Lost Planet" series...especially "Lost Planet 3". (Which is a lot like the "Halo" series, but with more mech combat.)

When it comes to the single player mode, it's a bit of an open-world experience, where you play as an excavation worker of whom is gathering resources for his new job...one that's outside the Earth. And with his mech that's designed for resource gathering, (an "excavation rig") it's been upgraded a bit to have improved durability, before he heads out to do his job in gathering resources...and survive against alien bug-like beasts, on the newly discovered planet. (But little does he know that he'll be forced to take drastic measures, just to stop some corrupt forces from misusing resources for their own SINISTER gains.)

Among games on Steam? I would suggest "Lost Planet 2" due to AWESOME co-op action, but it got removed from the Steam store temporarily due to game crashing and game bug issues...not to mention that "Lost Planet 1", while pretty good? It doesn't quite have proper support for gamepad controls...at least not yet. (I would advise getting some kind of mod to help with that, if Capcom doesn't do so.)

This journal is temporary, but here's what I need to do.

=  TomTodd774 -> Artwork with his defected irken gal turned government spy; Syn. (I'll try to make her look cute & sexy, Tom; not to worry!)
=  wrytergirl -> Art of a male anthro manticore, for her cast of characters.

As for art on the side for others, afterwards? Here are ideas I might do.

=  Blueratmatt -> Something sexy, but with the said gal in mind having barbie doll nudity as an advantage. Artwork of his cute & sexy pichu gal, Paulina, modeling a newly purchased slingkini swimwear. (While she may possibly have "private married time" with her husband and trainer, Matthew J Ratburg, sometime after the said photoshoot that she chose to volunteer for.)
=  RoninHunt0987 -> Cute art with an adult aged Zoe with an alternate attire. (The attire in mind being intended a nice surprise for Ronin, but with one hint; the same hairstyle as Yuna from "Final Fantasy X"!)
= "PaladinDBoy" (no longer on site) -> Maybe some artwork where Ruby trying out her first pokemon battle...by using the help of a rental pokemon that are WILLING to battle, as a sport? (Kinda like in various video games, such as the "Pokemon Stadium" games!)

Other art I might do, just as interesting ideas:

=
= Married crossover based couple based on the unreleased "Nintendo PlayStation" prototype console. The husband among the two is a character of the SAME species as Ridley from "Metroid", (but not evil) and the wife among the two is a lombax gal. (A cute lady based on "Ratchet & Clank".)

I'm borrowing a computer to type this blog out. And no; not out of town...simply in the countryside of the small town that I live in. (Certain details I won't speak of, for identity protection reasons.)

But...at the moment? I'm currently visiting my parents' house, and they're having it turned into a homestead...in other words, a small farm.

After realizing that we had the doctor's appointment schedule at the wrong date, me and my mother stopped by at the local farm supply store, and I helped her bring home 6 baby chickens, that we will be looking after, bonding, and socializing.

And starting tomorrow? I shall be moving in, at a little house nearby my parents' house for my new job, since my last one didn't work out so well...as a farming assistant. (Especially since my mom will need help in raising baby chickens.)

That means that I'll have to temporarily turn off my computer at my place, so I can move my stuff there. (I'll work starting tomorrow, as a homestead assistant to my parents' place.)

I'll try to take snapshots of them, when I can.

P.S.; while the apartment was better than living in a mobile home? My old job there wasn't paying me as well, so I decided to show respect to my boss, the apartment landlord, on my change of jobs; he understood and agreed to help me move, in the morning.

Because tonight? It will be my final night of living in the said apartment...because within that small town? I will be the neighbor of my parents. (P.S.; the house was cheap among houses for sale, and someone agreed to give me a grant so I could buy the said house.

Which means? I'll be seeing my parents more often. (Same for my big bro, of whom is also moving in another house nearby, that he bought...which means we'll be next door neighbors!)

Here's a list of websites I DO NOT use, and WHY:

Facebook
Too much of the annoying pokes, and people begging me to support them in crappy social games; THAT is where I deleted my FIRST Facebook account, just to get people to back off!

On top of that? I never knew how to organize posts...not to mention that Facebook is just plain boring!

Twitter / X
X, formerly known as "Twitter", has gotten worse, in recent years.

Not to mention that it got REALLY dull!

MySpace
It used to be okay...now? It's gotten DESPERATE!

Since my big bro has A LOT of work tomorrow, (he works an accountant job; mainly at his home office room at HIS place) my family decided to do presents early; being on the 24th, this year.

Here's what I got.

Stocking stuffers:
= DC Superheroes movie DVD, with "Trickster" Lego minifigure
= Milliput (A lot more of it, for making "Gaslands" miniatures)
= Sonic The Hedgehog beanie (It was apparently bought from the local Cracker Barrel location.)
= Sushi making kit (So I can learn how to make delicious, homemade sushi rolls, out of leftover meat and vegetables!)
= "The Simpsons" cartoon series DVD sets (Complete seasons; 1-5)
= Various chocolate candies
= Waterproof wireless gaming keyboard (For when my current PC gaming keyboard stops working.)

Main gifts:
= Acoustic drum set (I'll also practice with them, as well as go out of town to a music shop, to take drum lessons.)
= "Gaslands Refueled" rule book
="Sonic The Hedgehog" Lego set; based on Green Hill Zone ("Lego Ideas" based set)
= Stuff to make my 3D Gaslands" game board (Including XPS foam)

And...that's pretty much it.

Honestly? This is a surprisingly decent kart racer that I've been playing, among freemium games.

It doesn't feel greedily made, it's got a colorful, well thought-out playable cast of characters from "Disney" franchises, and it's actually got some good replay value that's challenging, but fair. I LIKE IT! (Although it could use more work, as the gameplay still feels rather dry and generic for a kart racer, so far. So developers? They should step it up and try to add some new mechanics to try and attract gamers to play it, sooner or later.)

But...if the developers ever decide to add more playable racers? Here's who I'd like to see, for my top 10 recommendations. (By franchise origin)

= #1: Sora (Kingdom Hearts) {Hey; "Kingdom Hearts" is awesome! And if Disney ever gets interested? Maybe add some "Kingdom Hearts" versions of "Final Fantasy" franchise characters added as playable racers, later!}
= #2: Kairi (Kingdom Hearts)
= #3: RIku (Kingdom Hearts)
= #4: Lop (Star Wars) {Like Rey from the "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, but even cuter AND more interesting! Rey wasn't a bad idea and while she wasn't a mary-sue, she was still rather bland and MOSTLY dull, compared to Lop...of whom has a more interesting backstory behind her. And not to worry; Disney can still give her a strictly clean, SFW portrayal of her that doesn't come off as carelessly offensive to other cultures, simply over being "political".}
= #5: Vanellope von Schweetz (Wreck-It Ralph) {Oh, COME ON; she totally would FIT in that video game!}
= #6: Rallen (Spectrobes) {I have one clever theory in mind...the basic idea? My theory states that Jumba, from "Lilo & Stitch" ,is the one who actually INVENTED Spectrobes, which the experiments, according to the theory, happen to be! which would mean that Stitch / Experiment 626, is one that just happened to be in development, this whole time!}
= #7: Jeena (Spectrobes)
= #8: The Pink Aracuan Bird (The Three Caballeros) {Say what you will about that movie; at least give credit for trying to be entertaining, and having the Pink Aracuan Bird as the BEST CHARACTER to come out of it!}
= #9: Dooble (Two More Eggs) {A CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED DISNEY COMEDY CARTOON; FREE TO WATCH, ON YOUTUBE! It came from the creators of "Homestar Runner", too!}
= #10: The Horned King (The Black Cauldron) {Even though the movie was nothing special and was a disappointment to many? At least it was nothing OFFENSIVELY bad, and the villain was EXTREMELY well written....not to mention the best character to come out of it!}
