Me realizing just how long ago it was that Xbox360 was a new console & I was just turned 12 in 2005 as a 1993 birth year person.

Yeah, a kid who literally doesn't know better is preferable to some arse putting out poisonous things on purpose. My mum and I have always been really careful with our pets since that spate of jerks putting out food or water adulterated with antifreeze when I was just a wee bab. All of the dogs and cats that were properly ours have lived 13+ years, I want to say. Well, except the bloodhound we had when I was five; no one ever told use big dogs are like horses and need to be fed from raised bowls, so he ended up getting a twist in his gut and there wasn't anything that could be done in the end.
Indoor cats that have been spayed or neutered usually have pretty good life expectancies, though! My boys will be fourteen this spring and aside from one having cat box troubles (mostly willful because the cat box doesn't meet his standards for whatever reason) and the other having some trouble with his teeth (I think he broke one of his back teeth, we have to feed him soggy kibble now because my cats are weird and hate wet food), they're both in good health and still do a lot of kittenish playing. I'm hoping to get a few more years out of them yet, not ready to acquire a new pair of cats. If I'm lucky, they'll be as long lived as my in-laws' black cats, which each lived to over twenty. Even my boys' indoor-outdoor "weird uncle" Neko lived to be at least twelve.
Well, you're doing far better than me! I just don't get on with dates. Or days of the week. Or phone numbers. Or street addresses. Or names. An obscure fact I read once years ago and thought was interesting, though, that'll take up permanent residence in my brain. I had to go to extreme lengths in school to remember dates for history classes. Like, making mathematical formulae for them kinds of extreme. Which, everyone else is like "but that's harder than just learning the date" and I can only shrug because I am quite literally incapable of retaining that information as-is.
I'll never turn down a helpful tip! I accept all categories of tips, even if they have no immediate use for me. Never know when it might come in handy. cat_3nodding I did know the cheese one, though! We've done that with cheese for as long as I can remember. It doesn't really change the taste, especially if someone is none the wiser about it having gotten moldy in the first place. Which leads me to think it might be a psychosomatic thing to have cheese taste off after you've cut mold from it. Well, or maybe it's a texture thing, since older cheese tends to be harder. Who knows!
Ugh, yeah, I already had problems with sharing since I'm an only child, but ruined/lost save files made me even WORSE about allowing anyone to touch my consoles. I would literally hide my memory cards and handheld consoles to keep other people from messing them up. Though at least we've moved past the days of save file persistence relying on batteries inside cartridges. I cannot overstate how upset I was when the battery in my GameBoy Color cartridge of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone died. Best game they ever made for the HP franchise, in my opinion.
I really hate the story/romance routes that have a** backwards and overly complicated requirements. Like, can't we all just agree Star Ocean does it best by allowing you to craft items to raise your affinity with every party member and see every ending? I think more games should be like that, honestly.

I think this is the proper response to that.
Probably shouldn't think about the GameBoy Color's release year, either. emotion_skull

Aye anyone would prefer not to have some jerk who should know better going around killing off animals we consider our family members. I have had many pets live long decent lives thankfully, sadly our town having bad people I've also had a fair share of losing pets quite young or too soon before their time & it was mainly cats which is why I have many cat dad worries when a cat is vanished after we had a long door was opened case occur. Honestly with memory I view myself as a special case cause I could know all this and that about one subject of a show I seen months or yeas ago even if it's not everything about it, but then I know next to nothing about a book I've read earlier in the month. sweatdrop All same my memory isn't too bad which I'm thankful for, but sadly with how much family members my family has that got Alzheimer's I fear for my future a lot. emotion_skull A lot of tips can be grand help in life later honestly, even ones you may have found strange when you were a child. Aye love we advanced there for the gaming world. Sad we got a lot of fork over more money things for games though, and back then a younger teenage me use to think DLCs would've been solid pay more money for things to extend content, but then gaming companies did the move of being like "Want this outfit specifically? That'll be one payment of enough money to get a pizza." Honestly some video games need to ease up on their romance systems being so complex like that, especially when they make you have to do such crazy schemes to complete or even get them. (After all we play the games to escape the real world and we all get weird with it doing all the things we would never do IRL & simply because we can.)

I don't think there's a town out there anymore without some animal-hating sociopath harming community pets somewhere. Which makes me REALLY paranoid about pets, and not just my own. Though, is it really paranoia when there are, in fact, dirtbags out to harm animals? Guess I'm just lucky my boys don't know what to do with the outside. Like, I have a harness and leash for them and everything, but they don't like even setting foot out our apartment door into the building's hallway, let alone the actual outdoors. Might be different if I had one of those cat packs with the viewing bubble in it, because they like to LOOK outside, they just don't want to experience it. Unless the experience is attention (read: worship) from other people. Shima, the long-haired one, is ALL about other people admiring and petting him, so if we carry him around the block near the local businesses, he's super into it, but don't expect him to walk there on his own four paws.
Yeah, I get that. Dementia is well rooted in my beau's family on his mum's side, so we have a lot of similar worries. Especially for his mom as she gets more forgetful. It's always like "is this normal forgetful, or do we have bigger problems at hand?" I'm not sure about my family, though. I know my grandpa got pretty bad at the end, but he's the only one I really got to experience in late age. Not to mention I know ******** all about my father's side since I stopped interacting with them after becoming a legal adult.
I actually don't mind cosmetic DLC, because I can just ignore them since they don't actually add anything to the game play. What I absolutely cannot stand, though, is the companies that are like "Here's most of the game for $60! Oh, what's that, you want to see the ending? That'll be another $10-20 for that privilege!" Like, I can feed myself for at least a few days for that amount of money, so I think I'll just skip the game entirely and be set for over a week. Just give me a feature complete game with the entire main story for base price, I really don't think that's such a big ask. Then, if I LIKE what I've played, I'll be more likely to invest in post-game content, not to mention how much more likely I am to be a return customer for other games made by the same team. Not sure why publishers/devs have gotten so antagonistic to their consumer base, they need to retain players to keep their business going, after all, so it's counter-intuitive to treat them like that.

The random white pixels around the edges bother me, but it's still cute art.
