Funneling down to the relevant entries I had after deleting some over the year, which I have done quite a few times due to not making up my mind at some points, I only made a total of 22 games beaten this year. Still, I want to see if I can pick up that pace for 2021.

Merry Christmas, Backloggery!

Ahh, I didn't see this until now! I'm sorry. D: I am in the Backloggery chat, but I do have a tendency to lurk. XD It's been a fun game so far! I'm very oblivious, but somehow, I've managed to defuse four bombs, so I'll take it.

I'll have to keep an eye out for your group up! ;3

Heyyy...

Okay, so I have gone overboard last week and blocked off all of my social networking actions from everybody online after what happened on the official BL Discord server. That was only because I was fed up with my self humiliation of something I have no intention of offending anybody with (For every scenario ever) due to my disability, which I have no shame of talking about and I want people to know for my accessibility purposes.

That time, I started going full hermit and ignored everyone and everything. Because I snapped. Interestingly enough, that situation last week on Discord was highly questionable for me. And according to this handicapped mind of my own, you can discuss trans rights on the same server, a controversially debatable subject I would rather not talk about whatsoever, but I can't share an off-context Proactiv Solution commercial vine? I was thinking "HOW"??? (You know, that commercial about THOSE kinds of heads...) Seriously, I could not understand.

Like I said, that WAS overboard. But that is because of this disability combined with the fact that I grew up with strict circumstances during my tweens. Don't mind me whatsoever - I was DRAWN to these factors from the start of my early adulthood. People need to know. I get highly offended and thrown down hard. But at the same time, I can choose to retaliate with unexpected circumstances like I did back then. I was even talking about it during a minor absence on another Discord, but then other members didn't care one bit. I quit that server.

So I'm coming back now, for the sake of my favorite site ever and my affinity of video games. I'm also so used to talking about my thoughts lately after sharing my episode last week. It IS Christmas after all! I'm thinking deeper into my decision and realized I love it when people respect my handicap, like the some of you around here.

Still, I'm avoiding my "weak points" of certain areas where I felt that surge of self-humiliation. I'm not going to spam much of those server channels anymore, places where I was "breaking" these rules and feeling like crap.

Thank you all for your understanding of who I am. Merry Christmas.

I cannot stand with this anymore. Whenever I share something interesting, people find it objectionable and I feel humiliated. I never even try to be offensive in a way. It's a weight that was haunting me for years...

I am fortifying myself from my main social circles... This is what you made me do.

Yipes, I thought I replied XD Thank you!!

Haha, Koopa came from here I guess.

By the way, nice xmas theme. I haven’t had a lot of good Christmases but this year I will finally buy my friends some things. Why not try making a better Xmas this year?
I wanna give a friend SoR4 but the only way I can is through Steam and I think he can’t run it, sadly. I’m just glad they appreciate it. It’s the kind of stuff I really have never gotten to do.

Aw. Hey, they're alright to play. I still think pretty much all the original guys are cool as characters though.
I never have to look, but I think unless you're looking for some of the color variants or something like that or chase variants, everything is pretty affordable until TT. TT-onward figures get pretty expensive and it's stupid. It's because everyone stopped then + they under-produced stuff :/ (plus tbh I think TT is awful, and I think a lot of people would have been burned by how crappy the game itself was, but a lot of people would disagree with me and hey I have a lot of nostalgia for TT but wheeeeeeeew-)

Ah, okay. I definitely remember your username from then so I was happy to see you though, even if I can't totally remember what you did.

Who are the last two?
I used to buy dupes as well for some paths but Superchargers lets you switch them so I stopped. d: But repainting toys is cool, been years since I tried. You post yours anywhere?
Ah wait, am I misremembering or are you the one who sold me that Sprocket and Fright Rider? Either way, I still have those
Superchargers, divisive, quite good in my opinion, my favorites are SA and SF though.

I think about 2017 dS started to really die more, I would consider that when it declined. I mean, by that point people accepted Imaginators was it so yeah.
Don't hang around on other sites a lot now. I like GameFAQs, but it's to laugh at it, I don't have friends there. I chat with my few friends directly on Discord, actually being such a loner is one reason I wanted to manage my accounts again and try to find more places and I came back here.
(Edit: GameFAQs also has really fast collection management. I like that part of it a lot. It's just less detailed than this site.)

Well hey then hooray XD I’m glad someone kind of remembers me. I have no idea how well other people who are/used to be on my multitap or who I knew from old sites might remember me since I kinda just disappeared and I don’t remember a lot.

NICE MATE. Hey, then you can finally do all the Heroics on someone or something? XD Well, I have all the Skylanders from all the games.
Is silly to cry about it being dead while never touching the old games imo. I know they have to run dry eventually but I still replay them et al
I’ve been on Crash 4 and right now I’m trying to make notes for it. When I can finally complete that I’m actually doing that for Skylanders as well, so maybe we’ll end up playing it at the same time XD
Please ignore my current library, I put a request in for it to be cleared so I can reset it

dS is pretty dead in my opinion. It’s pretty much populated by people who posted on SaN and that’s it. I have way too much bad blood and just really hate being there so I have finally left for good. I posted a lot of whiny stuff there over the years but yeah I think people there hated me regardless. But either way I think it’s pretty dead, still. Skylanders bought in a lot of people from different age groups and kept more interest because of the hunt, Spyro just doesn’t do that. I don’t think people had a lot to say about Reignited, people use the dS Discord group more instead if I understand right, and people use places like Reddit and YouTube to discuss Spyro way more.
I think some people post some obscure Skylanders bits at time which is kinda neat but eh.
