Hello, World! I'm guessing I'm a lot older than most of the userbase here, maybe! Its a pretty safe bet, but prove me wrong! I'm a 40 yo woman, an illustrator by profession. At the moment, I'm living in rural Southern Québec (originally from Nova Scotia). I relocated to QC after my divorce in 2018, and these days, I live alone in the countryside, typically spending my days in solitude, enjoying my own company, working on my writing & art projects, and, as you may have guessed- playing video games.

My only system at the moment is my Nintendo Switch, and since I went out of my way to purchase an unpatched model on the 2nd hand market, with the intention of hacking & modding my system, I find it's the only console I really need to have my gaming needs met, these days.

I have a few questions I wanted to ask the modding community, after updating to v.16.0.1 CFW.

Thanks for having me! It's nice to finally graduate from being a lurker here, to a known member.

See y'all around! ♡

Well, what are the questions then? Welcome to the site, by the way! I'm 17, so not the youngest but far from oldest..

40?? Still a baby to me haha (and I'm far from the oldest!)
Welcome aboard previous lurker! :yay:
I'm younger than someone?? Wow. That's a true novelty for me, in a new online community! I'm usually TWICE the age as the average user, regardless of where I wind up in Internet communities these days. Thanks for the reply, and the reassurance ♡

Canadians? :unsure:
No, yknow- my OTHER people! The last of the long-lost Analog Era. People who possess that long-lost, deeply ingrained art of patience, who arent fast-ruined by trends of gratification at the click of a button. To someone of your age, I sure 40 still seems on the younger side, but- when I venture into Facebook groups & subreddits, it can be awkward! I made an intro post in a FB group the other day, & the first reply to my intro was a MODERATOR calling me "grandma" & "an OLD WOMAN". Its a surprise to me, with the places I normally go online, to meet people who are actually older. It's nice! Thanks very much for the warm welcome. I feel at-ease.

Wow someone ELSE older than me. Neat! It's soothing when my elders make themselves known 🤣✌️❤️ I usually feel like an awkward, outdated relic among Netizens
Older isn't always wiser so there's no need to feel awkward here. Even for gamers of my age, there were famous game programmers at least another 10 or so years older.

Ah man, ain't that the truth. My late parents never did quite learn how to adult, God bless those poor clueless souls! It's definitely not the norm, to come into ANY online community & be greeting by users OLDER than me. It's a really nice feeling, to know that I probably won't encounter anyone around HERE dropping words like "OLD" & "GRANDMA" in their replies to me (you might be surprised how often I get that reaction online!) 🤣✌️❤️

Redheads?
I... don't really draw my sense of community, or camaraderie, among other people based upon factors like hair, or ANY physical features, or even the culture or country that I'm born into. For one thing- I haven't dated ANY Canadians AT ALL in about 3 years, now. Everyone I've dated for the past while, had moved to Canada from an entirely different continent. For another- I live in Quebeckistan. So, technically- there aren't even any CANADIANS in my current province. Lastly, Gingers are pretty well completely extinct after the witch trials and Irish slavery (and I'm Irish). So, no. I draw my sense of belonging by being surrounded by my peer bracket. I was hoping that was obvious. I guess I'd better get used to dad-style jokes if I'm going to hang around here...

Welcome, I am The Catboy. Expect to see me everywhere and wonder if I am a real being or a being that is part of the server
Hey! I'm a fellow Aspie. Thanks for the welcome, Catboy. Real human bean, or advanced Ai bot, either way- I look forward to seeing you around! ♡

Nice meeting a fellow artist.
You should share some art pieces in the Art Forum or by Blogging about it.
Welcome.

    @SylverReZ, atleast you were asleep on 4/20

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, you played that Mario flash game called Mario 63?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No, but I've seen it on Vinesauce's stream.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, that game is one of the reasons i met newgrounds bc the full versión of it is in that site
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also somebody is remaking it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
