Hello!
I just defeated Adrienn, but I can't seem to get the super rod from anywhere. Simon is neither in Peridot nor Beryl (which I strange, I usually talk to everyone - but perhaps I missed him?), and the fisherman in Tarzan Cove is not providing me with one either. Have I forever lost my chance for it?
Attaching my savefile for reference. Cheers!

welly well well, technically it's not the 13th yet here, but alas, have yourself one glorious birthday parteeey
i'm not even gonna pretend i grasp india's alcohol regulations beyond that they're Fucking Awful but god i hope it's involved
-
you used up all your correct guesses when Duck was here, Micky
MDE?

this is like having this as an only reference for mona lisa; your scan quality is dropping
i've always thought the red-blue-yellow colorwheel looked appalling; a relic of old teaching that people still cling to as there's still people that quote freud. this, however is gorgeous. love the black parts with the colored insides, especially, and how rounded they are.
this is what messy art is supposed to look like – organized chaos. the image doesn't look cluttered at all, kudos. though i feel like it'd be even better without the tri attack, it sort of... grounds it? plus especially the yellow one distracts from porygon itself.
but that shading. it would, quite frankly, look better with flat colors; there's only one other artist i can think of that shades like you do, Viridescent, and that's this guy
i don't even know his name, though i imagine there's people on this site that could inform me. but look at that "all lightning comes directly from the front except for when it indiscriminately doesn't"
but the glitches look amazing; i can't believe you're drawing this by hand, with how it overlaps. it has a very 3d feel, even with your questionable shading, and that despite that some of the glitches are very much 2d, like the binary code. his beak nearly dissolving! booyah. this is in my top 3 of your arts.
off topic, but im gonna continuing really busy the rest of this week, so if you post something new, expect it to take a few days before i can get back on it.

N O
where did that Dragon go? coming here, breaking hearts and then just leaving as if it never happened </3
-
Hallo now.
Viridescent? yes imma get back to that thread & the review & maybe even the gazebo when i get home-home, or on my way there later today – there's a lot of places i refer to as home rn but the apartment where i've generally lived the last month...
or didnt cause cuba
too much travel
in case it wasnt clear theres another anon user in this thread rn so imma guess Viridescent

Yes! This Is Halloween, or Hallowe'en (a contraction of All Hallows' Evening), also known as Allhalloween, All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, a celebration observed in a number of countries on 31 October, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows' Day.
you sure took over the arcade, Debojit. when are we gonna see you in Creative Works?
-
both. i want them both. i want them both to be on fire, and for their ashes to be consumed by illiterate baboon possums to never be seen again
since science now says that plants can feel it when we touch them, should we be more considerate to the feelings of plants?
-
i think it's impressive that he's dragon116, too. what happened to the 115 before him? no one knows
imma jump on the bandwagon and guess Dragon as well
-
Viridescent says he'll send me one – a surprising move for someone allegedly opposed to animals being eaten.
Micky?
-
according to spine, a penguin is leading the norwegian royal guard. and stranger dragons online are totes reliable sources.
and im back in my country of origin for now, but there's a zoo nearby. i think we do have caribou in the country somewhere thou... but hey it could also be red deer? or... horses?
Viridescent
-
Spine, how can you mistake me for Viridescent? he uses phrases like 'cernean identification' in casual sentences; i can't even spell restaurant.
when people go to sleep is pretty easy though, except for TRHStatement and SgtNoobly, whom I have no idea where he lives; it's like, a bunch of people in roughly the same european timezone, and the good folks in india 2.5 hours before your time.
you and Micky are up late. i dont share a timezone with any of you but i sometimes work night and sometimes morning/day anyway so whatevs
you could probs save a lot of shipping by taking one like, 20 km from my house, but suit yourself. look out for the special penguin forces, they're the best in the world
logic dictates that Viridescent should be next, but imma guess Micky so that i can attach a "sorry for the tl;dr" note
-
Viridescent, can you spell "Madurai Shanmukhavadivu Subbulakshmi" from memory? im listening, it's absolutely fucking terrible, but i thought that about traditional music from other countries at first as well, they sound similar and now i like those so i guess it'll grow...
i only very briefly watched parts of what i assume was the first season as a kid... so i guess that one?
what's the weirdest thing you have/do in your country/culture?
-
arent you up awful late, Debojit? /squints
on the topic of people usually up late, Micky's next
-
oh your icon is now an angry pirate elk, i just noticed an now im questioning for how long i didnt notice.
yeah but consider: money & military. norway has the best soldiers in the world. norway. norwegians are like, the people that get rejected from sweden because they cant put together ikea furniture; you'd think they'd be "special" forces by default. terrifying.
also, re: review: people are talking politics on this site now, so my allotted time for longer posts is going into aggressively yelling the entire communist manifesto at conservatives. but soon??
edit: shit, Juu bby
-
i, too, thought hyderabad sounds like power rangers villain. the cities you indians live in have a higher population than the entire countries us europeans live in how weird isnt that
Juu?
-
so many indians now. hey guys did you hear that you can apparently just vote to get britain to leave?

Dude, where are you even getting your info from? To start with, Syria is a country in Asia. In fact, some EU countries refused to accept any refugees at all. And UK wasn't even part of the Schengen Agreement until last year – it's in no way obligatory, and the refugee crisis started in 2011, but since Syria isn't a member I don't see how that matters.
What's happening is that EU, as a large, voted to re-locate 160,000 refugees that had fled to Greece, Hungary and Italy, since those three countries were under considerable pressure. The UK opted out of taking a quota, but the (now former) prime minister agreed to still take in 1000 people (now extended to 5500, with a promise to take in 20 000 in five years time. For a country with 50m+ citizens, that's nothing.
Secondly, these refugees very unlikely to be sheltering any "insurgents" anymore. They're fleeing for their lives, because ISIS would kill them if they didn't. ISIS members themselves are not fleeing. The chance of being granted a visa anywhere in Europe right now is slim, and ISIS already has members spread all over – I find it hard to believe that any members would pretend to flee with their entire families even though they didn't have to, on a journey where, frankly, a lot of people die from the duress, for the off-chance they'd get a VISA in a country to terrorize when that country already has members positioned.
Third, the UK actually needs more workers, and with more people, there will also be more jobs, but Syrian refugees rarely speak enough English to start working straight off the bat.And finally, a million people are leaving their entire lives behind to escape terrorism. To even arrive to the UK, they have money already, they're educated, and more people are good for the economy. In my personal opinion, it's a dick move to turn them away, and I cannot for my life understand people that refuse other people help when they need it the most.
As for trade deals, this guy puts it better than I could:
"If you are Nissan or some other car producer with major production in the UK, today, the same safety standards and environmental standards allow you to sell everywhere in the European market," Jacob Funk Kirkegaard, an economist at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, told me. But if the UK leaves the EU, "you would no longer be able to sell into other European markets, not because you face a small tariff but because you'd have to go through another set of safety certifications. This kind of thing would be repeated in every industry you can think of." -
i, too, like chocolate ice cream – not as much as licorice, but still – however, i maintain that chocolate and nearly all other sweets are gross as hell
what things are you looking for in potential friends/lovers?
-
no internet for the majority of my time in cuba thou. just a lot of beans and rly large avocado
Debojit?

Awww you got me. Seems like you were away from the thread for quite some time too Hallo, how you been?
i've been absolutely fantastic. been to cuba to visit extended family, got hospitalized for anemia, then straight away to visit estonia for two days to hang with friends. considering running off to the uk to abuse the pound, but i need to live on ramen and tea for a while now while my economy recovers. and best friend, too smool too cool™, future waifu is coming to live me for a few days so im stoked. whatchu up to?
Micky, how far does the emotional scope of ice cream extend, actually?

Of course, stricter gun laws won't mean taking away all guns ever owned over night. I was thinking maybe having to re-apply for a gun license, where the required background checks and whether or not the person has a valid claim to own a gun is looked into. Anyone without the new license would be asked to forfeit their guns or be liable to legal punishment.
Yeah, true. it's a little more complicated than that though – the states has a roughly 43% gun ownership rate (per household), and 319 million people (which u indians think is nothing, i know). The current gun registration records are not fully digitalized, many are damaged due to age and whatnot, and most of the owner oppose a registration law – I think it's a legit law suggestion, but just in name, actual implementation would be hard. but it'd good for the police to be able to go in and take the guns of people they suspect of criminal activity.
I highly doubt it. America has, at least in recent memory, too many incidents of cops going trigger-happy as well, especially against people of other races. Why have more gun-toting cops when instead you can start implementing a proper prevention? One which is long overdue, I might add.
I think the class gaps are what they need to work on. The people that buy guns and massacre people are usually teenage to mid-age middleclass white guys, but the ones people feel like they need protection against is a poor, undereducated, mostly black/latino working class. And like, of course it's like this – that's what a system of institutional racism and a life of poverty, lacking education and an economic system built to make rich people richer leads to.
Actually U.S.A. banned some chocolate eggs (wich the main site of production is built in Italy) because they thought the presents inside them were too dangerous for the kids (since they're located inside small plastic eggs and could accidentally be swallowed)
I don't know if that's true or not actually, but what is strange is that Americans can have guns but they can't have this kind of chocolate eggs because they're "dangerous"?
i mean, putting them side-by-side it looks ridiculous, but seriously, if there is a choking hazard to those chocolate eggs, I don't see why they shouldn't be banned. "We allow guns, so everything less dangerous than that should be allowed to"?
I only brought up Switzerland to show that there are cases where widespread gun ownership works reasonable well. I agree that this is not a valid reason for indiscriminate gun ownership in the United States.
I think stricter control is necessary, seeing as one argument is that we don't think laws will stop people from obtaining guns, so we shouldn't have them. I don't think that the belief that a law won't work should be enough to stop people and governments from attempting it.
As an aside, at the moment, background checks are required. However, these are very basic: http://money.cnn.com/2015/06/19/news/guns-background-checks/
I don't know how this can be remedied. A psychological examination? Or just better investigative processes?
not allowing people on terrorist watchlist to buy guns would be a nice starting point, as well as a higher minimum age and yes, i'd like there to be a mental evaluation involved. not only to prevent gun violence, but also to prevent gun suicide. and get rid of the gun show loophole.

Debojit, it amuses me that you use tumblr as an image source. just... tumblr.
Dhan, nice to see ya again, up next

I don't know why people keep using Switzerland as an example. The majority of all men in Switzerland between the ages of 20 and 30 undergo military training, and as a part of that, weapons training. They also get their own guns during this, which is why the ownership rate is so high – the guns can get transferred to their own private usage after the training regimen is over, if they sign a permit. However, no one except 2000 specialist military members are allowed to keep ammunition at home in Switzerland, so it's pretty hard to go out shoot people anyway.
I agree with what most people here are saying – aside from where hunting is necessary, we do not need guns for private use. In the US, I don't think it's a valid plan to overnight take away people's guns, so baby steps – starting with background checks, gun transport laws, and stricter restrictions on what guns people can buy, and going from there.
I'm mostly concerned about what makes people think they need guns in the first place – if half the nation honestly feels like they need a firearm or their family might be killed, then maybe that's worth looking at.
