I have an entire room dedicated to my various collected odds and ends from over the years. The misses made the mistake of giving me free reign to decorate it as I saw fit.

5 entire book shelves and a display cabinet.

I priced it once, market value for everything there was like 12kish.

@Zincy
That sounds like a trap that I would fall into, impulse buying stuff over and over without realizing what it could do to my bank account.

I spent 60 dollars on a print of the main characters from Kyatto Ninden Tyeeande/Samurai Pizza Cats doing the Bohemian Rapsody pose and never looked back.

Hell, I almost spent 300 bucks on a full metal replica of the sword Varian and Audiun wield in WoW. It even separated into two swords. The misses talked me out of that one.

The Omori fanbase notably bulks at Omocat’s merch prices

Which, while they aren’t wrong, Omocat’s prices aren’t that expensive compared to other fandom merch

Undertale has similar merch prices, Arctic Monkeys does too, as does Love Live

I think a lot of the Omori fandom aren’t in other fandoms so they don’t realise that merch prices across the board are daylight robbery in general

I feel like the term “lost media” is used too loosely. It should be reserved for situations where a piece of media is well and truly lost, because no known copies of it exist, or were destroyed. Media which does exist, but isn’t accessible to the public (because it’s sitting in a police archive somewhere, for example) should have a different term used to describe them.

@Commune
Isn’t that what fanbases already do? I see a lot of beloved content creators and small animation studios announce merch and you have a lot of people clamoring for them because of how much of a fan they are and they want to support their creators.

People shouldn’t go into buying fandom merch with the intention of getting something they need, but with the intention of supporting their favourite artists

Yes, fandom merch is really fucking expensive(unless you are talking about some obscure black metal project with a total listener count of a small European village in which the merch prices approach something that can be called reasonable), and it’s not unique to any single fandom
T-shirt prices are USD$25 if you’re lucky, usually they are USD$30-40, jackets and sweaters are even worse and the pins are straight up daylight robbery

And then there’s anime figurines, the less said about them the better

All this to say, you really should only buy them if you want to give extra money to the creators as a “keep up the good work” or “thank you”

Or you can be like me and say “fuck the price I want it I’ll get it”

Probably better off with the former than the latter

Honestly Im not really into reviving pixel era for pokemon. I grew up with that era sure but I’ll tell you when I was growing up playibg Pokemon Gale of Darkness on the Gamecube, I would have given anything to have Platinum or Emerald as 3d games.

I know the recent 3d pokemon games have had their flaws in animations, but I do think that 3d isn’t hopeless. I liked how X and Y and ORAS looked for instance.

It’s kind of like wanting Final Fantasy VII to just be a pixel game just because the 3d graphics looked unrefined.

@Twi Clown
That too

Or shorter in timespan in any case.

@Twi Clown
That’s the thing. While it being a game was a change of pace at first, it was tiresome. Whatever it is this year, hopefully it’s just more slow-paced

@♬𝕸𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜 𝕽𝖍𝖞𝖙𝖍𝖒♪
Last one was admittedly taxing the more it went.

I do admit I was trying to get the team to win but over the time it felt so tiring I kinda stopped trying.

I guess I was glad we had an April Fools that feel like a game rather than just roleplay or banking on a trend. Maybe next time it’ll be something different.

@Sear.
That’s fine. I’m not complaining about the gimmicks in general, just the all-consuming one from last year.

@♬𝕸𝖊𝖑𝖑𝖔𝖜 𝕽𝖍𝖞𝖙𝖍𝖒♪
I do be honest these different types of AF gimmick these guys put on annually represents all the known fun and tomfoolery we could possibly come up with and acts like an escape from this shithole of life we usually face.

…unless if they rubbed you the wrong way.

No matter what this year’s April Fools gimmick will be on Derpibooru, I really hope it’ll not be like last year’s one. To be honest, despite the positive results of my team, it tired the fucking shit out of me, and I felt enslaved by the manic desire to constantly post in order to gain points

Edit: On the bright side, I did get to know a few nice users through the event

Reposting this here vecause it seems more appropriate on this thread, and I’m sure users will disagree

I think social media is a tragedy of human interaction.

Forums are where it peaked. People in forums tend to form more meaningful relationships instead of chasing popularity.

People who need numbers to validate them are sad. The desire to be robot popular stems from low self esteem when building community should be priority.

@Sear.
Yeah I understand

@Mr.Myoozik
I already know you always do that on multiple occasions of some my posts around this site so I’m not accepting your apology.

@Sear.
The rest just happened to catch my attention, sorry.

About your actual post, well I’m not a fighter so if I did do that, I’d lose the fight very easy.

Mines a special needs cat. The misses adopted him a few years ago from a shelter. They think he had gotten hit by a car as a kitten. He only has 3 legs, and the bridge of his nose is crushed and healed weird.

He’s a little love bug though. Follows me around everywhere and sits with me when I’m on my computer.

@Zincy
Mine just love physical affection, no matter where.

Some cats, if they’re handled from a young age around the belly area, become much more amicable to it.

And some are just naturally chill with it.

My cat just lays and purrs if you rub his belly. Though, he’ll bite the piss out of you if you mess with his tail.

@Meanlucario
Oh yeah, that makes sense too. Naturally they show your their most vulnerable place because they really trust you. It’s not like you’re ever going to hurt them but they don’t know that.

@WaynePonePone
They show their belly because they trust you and believe you won’t “attack” them here.
