I got one this morning!! Immediately clocked it as a scam lol. I didn’t delete it but it disappeared from my inbox so I guess the account was closed

I feel like of all places to try and scam people lemmy is… Not a good choice? From what I’ve seen (and I haven’t been around too long tbf) the community gravitates towards more tech-savvy and educated people, so unlikely to fall for scams like these. They’d have better luck on Facebook probably, just attach an AI-generated Jesus and they’d make mad cash lmao

I got a wired wired XBox360 controller at GameStop 10 years ago for a really good price and it works wonders! I’m on Windows 8.1 and for most games it doesn’t require any sort of configuration either, I just plug it in and it works right away

Mh, not sure how I feel about these. On one hand, as someone who mostly buys games secondhand, I appreciate they can be resold unlike actual digital releases. But what’s going to happen in 15-20 years when Nintendo pulls the plug on the Switch servers and eShop? Won’t these stop working? So at that point it’s just a piece of plastic whereas physical cartridges would still let you play games. Feel free to correct me if I’m misunderstanding how they work!

Omg it turns out I was following you there already?? Small world haha!

Good post op!! My first Pokemon game was FireRed and bulbasaur was my first choice too - one day I want to restart my save and soft reset for a shiny one!

I keep two windows side by side: the left one has my email, youtube and sometimes a comic I’m reading or audiobook; the right one has a browser virtual pet game I check every few hours and is where I open new tabs to check lemmy, imgur, etc. Pretty clean! But then the moment I work on either art or coding I open a third window that usually gets to 10+ tabs oops

Ooo they’re adorable!! Kind of reminds me of the koroks from the Legend of Zelda, I love how you’re rendering the crystals too!

Hehe thanks!! Happy to be here, it’s a sweet little site so far! And I do!! My main site is Buzzly, but I also post on sheezy.art under the same name when I remember to lol

Mostly my own original characters which are either humans or anthros lol, with the odd quadruped animal as well! All the commissions I’ve done have been for people’s characters/fursonas too. And alas no insta haha I never posted to any mainstream social media (except I guess DeviantArt but I left back in 2013 lmao)

I’m finally getting back into drawing! Ended up getting really burnt out last month due to commission work (my clients are lovely for the record! I just find commissions very stressful lol) but finally felt like picking up my tablet again (•̀ᴗ•́)و ̑̑

I’ve also been playing a lot of Golden Sun lately! Finished the first game and started The Lost Age and man they’re just incredible games, can’t believe it took me this long to finally play them!!

Happened to me once when two of my friends started dating and then had a nasty breakup. Thankfully they didn’t involve me in it, worst that happened was one of them did complain about the other to me but it didn’t devolve into full on shittalking thankfully, and I just told them point blank I’m still friends with their ex and while their frustrations are valid, I’m not comfortable with them venting to me. We’re all adults so that’s where it ended and I’m still friends with both! I don’t think they ever made up but I also don’t feel it’s my place to ask lol it’s been years at this point so it’s just water under the bridge

If this keeps happening to you I’m afraid you need better friends. Unless the reason they’re fighting is due to something serious (assault, robbery, discrimination, etc.) there’s no reason they should involve you. I know it can be hard to be harsh with people you care about, but sometimes the best thing you can do for someone is to tell them to grow up lol, sometimes people need to watch all their bridges burn before they realise they’re the one that needs to change

My grandmother’s great uncle (so talking about the late 1800s) was killed by lightning while out on horseback during a storm. Pretty crazy odds huh?

For something spicier, around the end of Italy’s involvement in WWII Mussolini called his followers to move to the north of Italy. My aunt’s family were fascists (my aunt was a child at the time) and they were planning on going there too with this bus that was gathering fascists to move them all north. My aunt’s family had one massive trunk with all their belongings and it didn’t fit into the bus so they were forced to stay… Which was ultimately a good thing because that bus was stopped by the partisans who gunned everyone down before reaching Milan. So my aunt dodged a bullet, both figuratively and literally oof

To be fair to the DS, playing 3D platformers with a d-pad isn’t great lol so I can see why developers mostly stuck to 2D games

Oof I feel you there, I never got any event distribution that was tied to a real life location because they just never did them in the countries I lived in. ;; The wi-fi ones imo mitigated this a bit since you could get them anywhere so long as you had a wi-fi connection, but it is a bummer so many things in these games are now forever locked away due to time

It’s also worth mentioning you can get most (if not all?) event pokemon through wiimmfi! It’s also a lot more reliable than I first assumed, I still regularly play Animal Crossing Wild World with a friend through it and never had a single connection issue
