The New Fourm

Good morning! That's great to hear! Wow it's almost like work is stressful and hard! also OMG king of prism time????? I want to see those homos do frankly unbelievable things that will harm me.

Here's a link to the blog post about it! There's a link to the game at the top in case you want to try it before reading about the dev process (since it goes into spoilers):

Played this today! The game had so many fun elements! I don't want to spoil anything cause I think it is best to go in blind, but! I think it captured both the whimsy and spoonyness of older Pokemon games! It actually made me want to replay FireRed/LeafGrean so I'm charging my game boy advanced sp now!

Good Afternoon!

My GBA SP battery is probably fried so I'll get a new battery for it T u T. I should probably learn more about hardware stuff, because I way prefer refurbishing things vs getting a new thing (CHANGE IS SCARY!!!) my old phone had become an on going joke at work.... I honestly miss my old iphone SE in terms of design (RIP headphone jack), but the android operating system is much more preferable to me then IOS.

Hope everyone's moving is going OK!

Good afternoon! I had therapy and dentist and picked up medicine and now I'm so exhausted I am going Home lol.

Poor gba sp... I've never replaced a gba sp battery before, but I'm sure there's guides online! My bet is that you need a weird screwdriver cause Nintendo loves those. I have the kind you need for opening up gba cartridges so I wonder if it's the same one.

I'm so glad I'm infecting people with the pokemon tho

Yeah I love my iPhone SE uwu. I do miss the 3D Touch from the original iPhone 7, but this is still good. Tbh I've never had an android phone and maybe I'd like it but I don't really care too much atm.

Yeah! It's actually very easy to do. There is a place to open the back where the battery is held (yes you need a weird screw driver to open it lol) where you just open it and then put the new one in! I'll probably buy a set of both a battery and a screw driver.

What is 3D touch :0?

I probably would have just kept getting mine refurbished until it disintegrated, but mine was an original SE which there is not a way to manually updating the safety features for and it was actually a hazard to my personal info :,). I got a pixel partially because there is a way to manually update the safety features, even in the old models.

Cool! Good luck and lemme know if there's anything I can do to help! Also if you still want me to do the thing to your 3DS

The iPhone 7 (and maybe the iPhone 8?) had this feature where the screen was sensitive to how hard you were pushing it. Like you could like push further into the screen and it'd open like a context menu or something. It was pretty cool. Now they replaced it with Haptic Touch which is just if you hold down on the thing for longer you'll get a little feedback and it'll open the context menu. I think it's much less expensive for them to do this than to have a screen that was pressure sensitive but I just liked it a lot owo.

I had my iPhone 7 for like six or seven years but it was getting unusably slow and the screen was cracked and it would shut off randomly, so I eventually gave in and got the SE. And then had to get a new one a year later because I wiped out at the bus stop and shattered the screen lol.

Woah cool :0 I never had an iPhone 7 so I never experienced this, but this does sound very cool

I FORGOT ABOUT THAT I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR FAIL BOY MOMENT

When I see you this week I will bring over the Ingredience :3

the failboy moment was so funny even if I broke my phone XD

Good afternoon!

Star gave my DS The Surgery so I played Fire Red on it last night! I forgot how smitten I am with this game! RN my team is:
Creachure (Charmander) lvl 11
Nageki (Pidgy) lvl 10
Cutie (Medapod) lvl 7
Cindy (Mankey) lvl 4
Surprise! (Pikachu) lvl 4

I completely forgot you could catch Pikachu in the vermilion forest so I was like : 0 hello??? She's v cute tho and helpful to have a electric type! I love love love Butterfree so I'm excited for Cutie to evolve! I haven't had a Mankey on my team before I don't think so I'm not sure how long Cindy will stick around.
