  • I would have posted this in the "Microsoft To Acquire Activision Blizzard" thread but since I posted there such a long time ago it would probably count as necroposting, so I'll make the announcement here-good news for Spyro fans like me-after Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Toys For Bob, who currently owns the rights to Spyro, has broken away from Activision and is now an independent developer. This means more Spyro and Crash games in the future probably. And of course I'm glad Activision now no longer has its greedy hands on the Spyro franchise and won't be getting any more profits from it because most of us probably know how chauvenistic and disgusting the work environment was and how badly and unfairly the female employees were treated over at Activision back when Bobby Kotick was still in charge of it so-yeah. I'm happy about all this for MORE than one reason. Like-I feel so bad for the female employees at Activision. The way they were treated was not right. They were treated so unfairly and they were abused and that is NOT ok with me. I'm one of those guys who respects women, and I want them to be treated right and given the respect they deserve. So yeah. Because of all that being done, I don't think Activision deserves to profit from Spyro. So I'm glad they no longer own him.

    Spyro and Crash are still owned by Activision, Toys for Bob only developed the Reignited Trilogy, Crash 4, and Crash Team Rumble, and those were published by Activision.

    Oh-ok. Well at least Bobby Kotick's out of there so the bad environment that was there won't continue; apparently even the employees that were behaving that way hated him. Better for everyone there that he's gone.

    I use Opera internet browser. Most of the time it works really well, but when it occasionally crashes, it's really annoying. It usually works well though overall, and I'm NEVER going back to using Google Chrome. Google is evil (I'm not lying-look at the history of all the bad and nefarious things they have done including tax evasion, manipulating search results and getting to be a monopoly in the search engine industry by illegal means) and it steals people's data and spies on them all the time. No thanks.
    You know what's sad? Before I joined this forum, I created an account on the Spyro Forums, because I also really like Spyro. I don't know why this happened, but I waited for over a month and never got the email to activate my account on there. I still haven't got that activation email. :sad:

    One other thing-do any of you adult gamers like me still have any of your old consoles or games from when you were a kid or younger adult or a teenager or whatever back in the day? I don't have my old GameBoy Advance anymore but I DID keep the carrying case and all the games for it which I'm glad about-if I had gotten rid of those two I'd be even more sad. Still have the first two games I ever played on it too which is extra special. I recently played those first two games I ever got on my NES Edition Game Boy Advance I just got and the nostalgia and good memories just came flooding back.
    A little while ago in Minecraft I made a boat and sailed all the way across the island to see what was beyond. I died, and so lost the boat, but I plan to get into the water and try to swim back to where I landed the boat and get it back, then explore the rest of the world I created. 🗺️
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Wendy O. Koopa
    @MiracleDinner Wait a minute are you saying the boat disappeared after I died and left it there? That's....weird. :confused:
    Jackie Frost
    Jackie Frost
    No, I was referring to the fact that when you die in Minecraft the items that were in your inventory spill on the ground and they vanish after 5 minutes if you are close enough for them to be "loaded in". The boat itself doesn't do that (if it was placed down rather than in your inventory when you died).
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Wendy O. Koopa
    @MiracleDinner LOL-there's a setting in the world creation menu where you can choose if you want to make it so you can keep your inventory if you died and I turned it on, which is handy. Did you know about that? I have the Java Edition so I'm sure it's available in other versions.
    My tier list of the enemies I hate the MOST in Minecraft now that I've been playing it for a little bit LOL. These enemies are so freaking annoying.....I wish they didn't spawn at night. Like, I'm not that angry at them-but I do hate them. They greatly irritate me. LOL also each enemy I put down here will have an emoji depicting how angry it makes me. First second and third worst enemies will each have a trophy as well-gold for #1 most hated enemy, silver for #2 most hated enemy, and bronze for #3 most hated enemy.

    1. Skeletons. They chase me and they shoot me with their arrows over and over again. Argh! I can't stand them.🥇🖕

    2. Spiders. Everyone who knows me in real life knows I HATE spiders (they have SCARY looking faces!) and I hate them in this game, too. They're harder to kill than both zombies and skeletons combined. They seem to really hurt me, too, when they attack me. And they're really fast. 🥈🤬

    3. Zombies. They take so many hits to kill and if a horde of them advances on me I'm basically done for. 🥉😫

    4. Creepers. They follow me around annoyingly and explode when I accidentally walk right in front of them. And if they explode next to me, they kill me.🤦‍♂️

    5. The "Guardians" in the sea areas of the map. Even when they are not hunting me and I'm not even in the water at all, they still do that rip current attack thing with their mouths continually. It is so loud and when I'm near the water I can hear them doing it over and over again. I find the noise incredibly irritating.😒

    So yeah, relatedly (did I use that term right?), I HATE all of the annoying enemies in Minecraft, so killing them understandably makes me very happy. Also may I add that the most irritating thing ever in Minecraft is when I'm trying to chop down trees to build my house, and zombies and skeletons and other enemies attack me while I'm doing that and gang up on me so they kill me and I have to respawn and have to literally walk all the way back to where the tree was I was cutting down? Ugh......

    Anyway yeah LOL. I hate these enemies so much in Minecraft. What are some of your Minecraft enemies you hate the most? Can anyone relate to all of this? 😆

    Nostalgia from my childhood with Nintendo. Game Boy Advance SP was my first handheld ever:


    Also here's the Game Boy Advance SP Nintendo NES Edition I got from Ebay:

    Ok so I briefly for a few seconds replayed my two first video games I got for Game Boy Advance on my new Nintendo NES Edition SP, and the save files are still there after 20-something years! Wow.......
    Well guys guess what? I'm getting in on the hype. I'm going to be playing Minecraft soon. I got the PC edition.

    @yoshibro75 Yes, that's what I was looking for. Perhaps if you could also let me know what GPU you have? If you don't know, try Win+X (or right clicking the start menu I think also works, I don't use Windows anymore so I can't really check), open Device Manager, then find "Display Adapters", expand the drop-down, and let me know what it says (an example of what it might say is "AMD Radeon(TM) Graphics")?
    Not like anyone asked but as far as my personal feelings toward Nintendo...I like them in some ways and dislike them in other ways. I don't completely like everything about them because not everything about them is good, and I don't completely hate them either because not everything about them is bad-I both like them and dislike them-in different ways. I like the things about them that are good and dislike the things about them that are bad. I like the awesome franchises they have that I am a fan of and how creative and cool they usually are and like how good their games are but I don't like how they crack down on emulation and fangames. I like how they usually put a lot of hard work and good quality into most of their games and they turn out good most of the time and any flaws they have are small, but dislike how they make you often pay for remastered versions of the same game over and over again. However despite my mixed feelings about all that, I overall really am attached personally to Nintendo because they were part of my childhood, and if they went out of business, I would be very sad, as I would have no more (new) Nintendo games to play. So yeah. I like Nintendo-meaning I like the good things about them-but I also dislike the things about them that are bad and so dislike Nintendo in those ways. My feelings are mixed. So I guess you could say I both like AND dislike them. Personally as far as what I dislike most about them, I've always been angry about the cracking down on emulation and fangames. Like-I recently found out (I was never expecting this was so) that fan games, if people want to play them instead of actual games from the companies themselves, actually take money AWAY from the companies-but-like-why does it matter; Nintendo is the RICHEST company in Japan and already has plenty of freaking money. And besides that, like, Sega for instance is nicer about this to its fans than Nintendo is even though they probably KNOW they might lose some money because of these fangames, but they don't care; they love their fanbase and like seeing them ambitiously create fangames to express their love for Sonic-they're not greedy for profits, even though compared to Nintendo they're second rate because Sonic doesn't sell as much games as Nintendo and Sega overall doesn't make nearly as much money. So Nintendo is greedy-just like almost every single other company out there. So yeah, long story short-I like Nintendo-as far as the games it puts out and its franchises and the creativity that often goes into those games and how fun those games are to play-but I really do not agree with or care for the inner workings or politics of Nintendo. I like Nintendo-but I don't like EVERYTHING about them. In fact, the things I dislike about them I dislike A LOT. And for good reason.
    I recently finished watching a complete playthrough of Super Mario 3D All-Stars on YouTube. I have to say that I enjoyed the Super Mario Galaxy complete playthrough the most and that that game in my opinion is one of the best 3D Mario games ever made. Also it has great music, and in fact, this theme for the very first galaxy in the game, the Good Egg Galaxy, is probably one of my most favorite Mario music tracks ever, especially starting at 50 seconds in. It is in my opinion one of the most beautiful tracks I have ever heard for a Mario game:

    I actually wanted to have Morton Koopa's name in the DIC Super Mario cartoons of "Big Mouth" as part of my username, but apparently that exceeds the number of allowed typed characters. 😞
    Ok, so these are my future plans for next Super Mario characters I will be on here:

    Tomorrow: Morton Koopa Jr. (LOL wanted to change to him today but apparently have to wait til after October 5th)

    November: Wendy Koopa

    December: Bowser Jr. Koopa

    January 2025: Bowser

    February 2025: King Koopa (from Super Mario cartoon shows)

    After that: I'll see what I feel like. I think I'll be Larry again but
    I might be someone else from the Mario universe like Mario or
    Luigi. I'll always be some character from Mario, even if it's a different
    one each time.
    I want you all to be straight up honest with me-like-I'm an only child. Sometimes I think "Hmm...it'd be fun to have a brother or sister; I wish I did". LOL do I not realize just how good I have it? 🤣

    Seriously I've heard having siblings can be annoying. Is it though?
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Wendy O. Koopa
    @TheBlueCatMenace I LOL-my cat-he loved me and my parents and wasn't a selfish cat by any means and when we weren't feeling well he would snuggle up next to us and be quieter and he would always jump and snuggle with me but I'll be honest-he could be kind of demanding at times-he would meow loudly at people when he wanted to be petted-I think I spoiled him too much. He usually meowed just at me because he knew I was always a sucker for petting him LOL. 🤣

    So yeah-I guess pets are kind of like siblings.

    Also don't know why I took so long to finally notice and read this comment and respond to it.
    Just an amusing comment on KK Slider's voice when he sings-it kind of sounds like an old man trying to sing a young people's pop song and make his voice go WAAAAY higher than it normally would and failing miserably, and instead singing it WAY off key. 🤣 Music he makes not involving him singing is still fire though.

    Ok so it's past September 17 already and the leaves in Animal Crossing New Leaf still aren't brown yet. They're supposed to have changed by now. Why haven't they? Enough of this lush green foliage LOL. It's fall now. It should look like fall.
    9-11 Memorial.jpg


    Well, being an American, I know what tragic date today is, and I wish today was not that day, as every year, this
    is always a very sad day for me. At the same time, I both mourn and honor in my heart those who gave their lives
    so that others would be saved. We should never forget 9/11.

    Yeah, it did occur to me this morning that the September 11 attacks happened 23 years ago today. It continues to be a terrible event that is forever burned into the memories of Americans and other countries alike. May the unfortunate victims of this terrible attack be forever remembered and honored, and God rest their souls.
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Wendy O. Koopa
    @Jubei Same here (about forever honoring the victims). And yeah, it is a sad day every year when it comes around.
    Ok so I read online that in Animal Crossing New Leaf for 3DS (which I have-I play it on my NEW! Nintendo 3DS XL) that on September 8 the leaves change from the lush summer green color to the fall orange and brown color, but it's now been one day after September 8, and they still haven't changed color. Why is that? It might be noteworthy that I recently updated the game with the "Welcome Amiibo" update (which I'm surprised is still available through wireless communication given how outdated the 3DS is by now), and I wonder if maybe they take longer to change with that particular update. I don't know. I'm confused.
    Ok so I want to change my profile name and avatar and everything to Ludwig but it won't let me change my username, even though it says I CAN change it after or on September 4 2024, and it's September 4 now. I guess maybe I need to wait til tomorrow?
    Jackie Frost
    Jackie Frost
    I think it's also sensitive to the time of day so the prompt is imprecise and should say "You can change your username on or after 4 Sep at [hh:mm]". It should be exactly 30 days since your last change.
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Wendy O. Koopa
    @Zatanna Yeah I know. Porplemontage fixed that so now it makes it clear I can't change it until tomorrow.

    I'm very ready for the summer to be over already. We've had so many insane heat waves including the one we had just this past week. The only issue is that September doesn't really change anything. We're still just as susceptible to insanely hot days as we are in July or August.
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Wendy O. Koopa
    Yeah where I live it can still be hot in September for like a few days, then it gets cold.
    Aw, man...wanted to change my user name and profile pic and banner and stuff to Ludwig but apparently can't do that until September 3 so I changed them back ☹️
