Please forgive how long these posts are; I can't help it, I want to talk to everyone but don't want to break the rules either, lol. Hopefully I'm at least organized enough for people to find my responses. :vanora_sweat:
@ChiffonOrange:
To be honest Minecraft has been pretty popular since it came out, but it's definitely had a resurgence again recently. I'm not really sure why myself. I love sim games too; I have over 10GB of custom content and mods for Sims 4.
(I know someone with over 30GB though lmao.)And yeah, Neocities was designed as sort of a revival of the Geocities idea that everyone could have their own site. It's got it's own little community, too; I've made a bunch of friends through it. :)
@koneko:
People put mushrooms on their wall? I hadn't seen that but now I'm super curious! I have to look into that.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was some kids that put the bettas together; at least I would hope no adults would do such a thing (sadly I'm pretty sure they would, though). And Foo the Flowerhorn, I've heard of that channel, yeah! I get their 'feeding frenzy' videos in my recommendations a lot.
@MaxIsConfused:
Oh man, I haven't done origami since I was a kid, I used to love it though! I remember one year I made a whole origami Nativity scene to decorate with at Christmas. I also haven't done a journal in ages, but I'm tempted to get another lil' Moleskine book to do like a junk journal type thing in. o3o I haven't played any of those games except Minecraft and Sims 4, myself. Several of my friends play osu, which I keep meaning to try, and I've heard of Roblox. The rest are new to me though!
Ukulele looks fun; I've always kinda wished I'd at least stuck with the trumpet I played in high school but I didn't and I never really picked up any other instruments. And I love Thomas Sanders, he's one of my top faves (I so love his creativity, especially with his "Sides")! I like to do rps over discord too, though my friends and I have struggled to get a new game off the ground for a while now.
@GoblinsAndTea:
You've had your own con booth? Cool! I just checked out your portfolio; nice stuff ("Thoughts" is beautiful, and I like Alcyone, they look like a fun character!).
I collect washi tape too! I've got... well not anywhere near 200 designs, haha. Maybe around 20 or so so far. I keep meaning to send samples of some to a friend of mine, and I hadn't thought of popsicle sticks; that's clever, thanks for that!
I think bjds are amazing. I've known people with multiple of them, and much like you they've generally been based on existing ocs/had ocs based on them! I know they're expensive but I'd love to have at least one some day. I have lots of characters too, and it's a big hobby for me, though I don't have any very cohesive worlds, or at least not enough backstory to do a whole comic or game! That sounds really fun. :)
I used to make miniatures for my dolls with polymer clay when I was a kid; itty bitty dollhouse-sized dolls though, not bjds, haha. I'm trying to get back into it, or at least polymer clay in general, though. I've never done a real cosplay though I've had ideas/intentions over the years (just nothing ever really materialized).
My laptop is fairly quickly becoming one that can't handle the latest stuff, sadly, but I can still play Minecraft and Sims 4 and those are the most important ones to me lol. I definitely have a preference for the more chill games, too, though I love watching people play horror games and more story-driven games, they don't interest me as much to play myself (well and my anxiety can't really handle the horror games firsthand).
@vengeance:
I love horror games too! But I can't usually play them myself (my anxiety is too severe) so I end up watching other people play them, like Markiplier, lol.
I don't listen to music as often as I would like; my main 'music-listening' time used to be when I drove my car, and without a car anymore, I don't listen as much (go figure, right? lol).
I've watched various anime and I've seen the odd bit of Korean tv (mostly through other peoples' art streams where they put the show on on the side), but that's about it. Admittedly, I more watch YouTube than traditional tv or movie offerings (which reminds me I still need to catch up on Beastars >_> ).
You make content for Sims 4? That's so cool; I have many gigabytes (over 10 >_> ) of custom content/mods but other than recoloring existing stuff for personal use I've never really made anything unique. Do you make meshes or mostly retexture stuff? (either and both are amazing to me; I can barely recolor things lol.) And do you have a place you share it? (I'd love to see!)
(PS: Your profile is so nice! Love that 80s aesthetic.)

@PoeticTorment: My dad is diabetic too; we're both type II. He's good at encouraging me to do better, which is nice! It's harder in practice because I've got something of a food addiction I think (I plan to work on that soon with a therapist) and my roommate is a little bit controlling about food (she makes dinner most nights and insists on making it for me instead of letting me make my own--but then complains that she "has" to make dinner for both of us. :viohuff: ). I'd eat a lot more salads, honestly, and a lot less red meat and starch, at dinner, if she'd let me. So... it's a process lmao. My doctor is fortunately very patient as well and has been working with me.
Well the tank I recently got actually came decorated! It's a kid's STEM toy, basically; it's super cute and even has a little plastic microscope built into it. Lemme find a pic:
As near as I can figure this company, "Seatures," at least to start out, is using another company's tanks (there's multiple designs) with their own brine shrimp kits. I'm really not complaining as the tanks are super cute, I just hope the eggs actually show up (I emailed them this evening so hopefully I'll hear back sometime next week).
I have three other tanks to do, one is an official "Sea Monkeys" tank called "Sea Monkeys on Mars" and two others are really simple mermaid-themed knockoffs, one from Walmart and one from Target. I'm chronicling the kits on my channel because I've pretty much always had an interest in Sea Monkeys and similar.
That's probably more than you wanted to know, lol, sorry. :vanora_sweat:

@Aradia:
Oh same, I've been a sucker for avatar sites for years! But I haven't joined any new ones until the last week or so. Adding to my collection, I guess, lol.
And yeah, it really sucks that we've lost so many old sites, but at least we have Voltra now. :)
@Totalanimefan:
Right?? I couldn't believe it when I looked it up, I'd never heard of a warranty that short for a mattress either. @_@;

@PoeticTorment: Oh gosh, I have the exact opposite problem--high blood sugar. I'm really awful at managing it but I'm trying to be better because, you know, I'd like to stick around on this mortal plane as long as possible. :P
I'm loving Voltra, everyone's been so nice and friendly. :D
And in general I'm mostly waiting for the brine shrimp eggs I ordered with a brine shrimp tank to actually arrive so I can start the new tank for my YouTube channel. o3o I haven't done a video series on there for a while and I think it'll be fun!

@Kozi: Hehe, thanks. :3
And oh my gosh, for real? I've puked in friends' cars (twice, two different friends, two different cars, still feel like an ass for it lmao) while riding but never while driving, that's wild.

@PoeticTorment: Well at least it goes back into Disability, I guess that's a good thing.
Anyway that aside, how are you doing? o3o

@Anarchist Beauty: LMAO yeah, while I like that Florida has a lot of my family, and that's nice, it's not exactly my cup of tea when it comes to the humidity. Also L.A. is way better politically.

@Wildfire: Oh totally, the trip was a blast; Key West was actually towards the end of it. It was a whole road trip from Michigan to Florida, dropping me off at my place before she continued on her way back home to Texas with her boyfriend (he flew in). It was really nice spending so much time with my mom, especially since we've lived half a country apart for years now and don't get to see each other often. :)

@Merynia: Thank you! :)
@Ark: I don't think I was ever very active on Solia, tbh, but I recently found some stuff, like a sig graphic and such, that tells me I did a little and just don't remember it. :viosweat: I always liked their art style. I really don't know what happened with Solia, other than that one day I came back and it was all different. I've never heard of Sapherna, that's one that evidently got past me, lol!
@Totalanimefan: I don't want the same thing to happen again, either! The current mattress is one my dad bought me, and it only had a 1-year warranty, so hopefully the new one lasts better given the better warranty!

@Wildfire: Thank you! It was my third year attempting it (at a low difficulty level because I don't handle pressure super well and didn't want to burn out), and I finally did it, which was a nice feeling. :)
Lol the hotel was cute, too, it was like two or three converted and combined old houses. We were a lot closer to town that way, too!

@dragoness129: Well whenever it happens, I look forward to it, lol!
@Totalanimefan: Yeah, it was fun working out how to change what I wanted to change. I quite like how it looks now!
I looked at those "Purple" mattresses but they're way out of my budget. I found an inner spring mattress on Walmart's website that I think will work okay, though. It's got a 10 year warranty, too, unlike the whole one-year warranty the current one apparently had.
And lol, that's totally understandable. Back to back events would get awfully tiring!
@DrearyThunder: Hello, thank you! :)

@Count Trashula:
Ha, me too, I got to try 'real clay' as a kid at a friend of my mom's studio, if I recall correctly. I was only like five at the time! OH! Memory unlocked! I also got to make like a little trinket box thing for my mom in ~6th grade art class, and now I remember working with clay for a project at a kids' museum workshop. So I guess I have worked with it a bit, just not since I was about 13 or so!
And hey, nothing wrong with baking for yourself! But I totally understand, and man you would think they'd train at least to some extent! But yeah, do it for fun, that's the best reason to do it anyway. :3
Cool! I love moss, too. And heck yeah, if I ever manage to build it I'll probably document it on my YouTube channel and I'm sure I'll be wanting to share it everywhere, lol.

@koneko:
I think I fixate worse now than I did as a teen! But yes, move regularly! I spend most of my time on my bed when using my computer (which is... most of the time) and I still have to stretch/get up and move around a little regularly. Fortunately due to meds I have to pee frequently, which kinda forces me to get up a lot, lol.
I'd love to go nursery-hopping around here sometime; I know there's a bunch of them because it's Florida and pretty much everything seems to grow well here! And yeah, I'm pretty sure it's dead as I sadly forgot about it for a while, but I have a ball moss (air plant that looks a lot like Spanish Moss, which is also an airplant) pinned to my wall, lol. I'd love to have a big hunk of Spanish Moss in a hanging basket or something, too; I think it'd look neat. :3
Yeah, lol, it was a little much that time. A couple I had to keep in special smaller/shallower tanks because they couldn't swim well; one had lost a tail before I got her (not sure if fin rot or pecking from other females) and the other was missing a pectoral fin (same deal). I definitely wasn't keeping my bettas in ideal conditions initially, but I learned over time and upgraded them. I think my minimum tank size for a betta now would be 5 gallons. They're so much more active when they have lots of room and a warm clean tank!
Oh yeah, you should definitely try to keep a tank in an easy to get to place! Whatever helps you keep up with it. Plus they like seeing activity outside their tanks so being somewhere near where you spend time is good too.
Yeah, I totally get why they sell bettas in little cups like they do, but also I hate it. Especially in Wal-Marts. I once had to separate two males that had been dumped into the same cup with my bare hands. I opened a "Betta Water" to give him water and honestly, no guilt. Well a little guilt, in that I didn't take them both home to treat properly. :(
