Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

i'd say something like "positivity is scarce now" but, honestly...
it really isn't.
i just took a walk in the Square following the concert, and every Inkling and Octoling i passed by happily waved at me and smiled when i waved back. Murch is as cheerful as ever, which, according to Pearl, he wasn't like 5 years ago, and the shopkeepers are all so ready to give me info on their gear. i've never seen so much smiles, honestly.
got me smiling, even.
so, i'll say something like this instead: enjoy what you've got. it's honestly enough.
Think we're ready for that next floor, Eight.
that's sweet :3

Inkopolis Square sounds like a very closely knit community, and I'm all for that. I love the idea of living in a town where everyone is willing to make your acquaintance. It just makes someone feel at home all the more.

Like I'm so gonna second that as well, cockroaches are totally annoying pest that don't know when to go away!
Hopefully it doesn't get to the point where you might consider hiring an exterminator to get them out of there.

Meet the Tamas!◊ This is where it will end, by my hand.
maybe bait them out? Try leaving things they like to eat somewhere close but further away, like a few metres in front of your house
Just Another Acht Fan
oh, right. pictures of the concert.
i didn't get any with me in it, since, y'know, i was performing, but here's one i took while Pearl and Marina were performing. no idea where they got the outfits, but they look insanely good in them.

Hello
Galaxy! I mean, hello, forums! I'm Sumire Heanna, and... wait what did I came here for?
...Oh yeah. Ren isn't posting because her laptop is having problems, after opening just too many programs, so we had to turn it off, but she's distraught about losing an unsaved document because of it, so she's not in the mood to open her laptop back, currently. And moreover, it's low on battery.

That sounded like it could startle someone.
Uhm? Hey, is that a JoJo reference?

Seems like we have a couple of new people here. Nice to meet you both.

the roach exterminstion has been handled, but it came with a cost of Inti not being able to come at the fronts for a while due to the ammount of poison he god.
[...puny... humans and... their shit that i cant withstand... and how its been damaging me...]

Luckily Popstar doesn’t have anything close to s roach. Some have said Gordos are like roaches but I don’t believe it.

hey, so, i was just curious, are any of you currently in a relationship? just wondering.
if any of you even think of flirting with me, Eight is staring at my computer screen with a cold glare.

Does a pretty close best buds relationship count? Heh, I think already mentioned it before but some often think otherwise. Also, hey Marx!
Admittedly chérie (Coffretchi) and I (Pianitchi) do have a lot of closeness to see that as love but we're really a platonic pair with a strong bond.
Just Another Acht Fan
...i guess i should've specified. "relationship" as in "dating". as in romantic relationship. though it's nice to see you have a close bond with each other.

so, as it turns out, Inti is now in the phenoma of "wasp dope", in which the pesticides meant for roaches... gave him a dope.
[I SEE THE CIRCLE! AND THE LIGHT! IS PRIMUS TELLING ME SOMETHING?!]
Not only do we need to get the poison away from him but we also need to be wary if he starts using them like Crystal (meth), if it does... yeah, Rehab,

How he got a hold of that substance? I never understood why someone could one would let themselves get on something harmful.
Addiction is a weird case, perhaps it's a feeling that causes satisfaction that might cause one to forget the damage it can do honestly.
Just Another Acht Fan
i've never been "on a dope," but i've heard it feels strange. and trippy.
hopefully nothing too bad happens.
but, anyways, i'm tuning out. it's getting late. and also Eight's telling me to go to bed with her. night, guys.
