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.

How common are such stones exactly?

[1] Last I checked, the tracking software looking for Triangle was still running and functional. As for the others, no idea. Are they harrassing you?
[2] I've got a question. Since discussions like these don't really relate to anything here, and some of you are from the same universe, do you mind having personal conversations in some kind of private channel or in DMs instead of on this thread? They're kinda bloating the conversation here.

Sorry, I didn't know. I didn't mean to cause any trouble. Yes, I'll make sure to remember that.

No, it's just that some are a bit destructive. While some do have bloated egos, they at least have some power that allowed them to get such a high level. They're like pests, easy but tedious and annoying to stop, but can be detrimental if left unchecked.

Have you taken any long-term fixes to stop them, by any chance? Because sometimes short-term solutions only solve the problem temporarily.

One of them can't even die. And besides, I need some of them alive and active. I want to let those do their shenanigans — but in a controlled environment. I do not know if they'll behave well out of the aforementioned environments.

[1] No problem.

[3] In my experience, weighing the short-term and long-term benefits and detriments of an action can serve as a good moral compass. "The ends justify the means" not so much, especially since using certain means can affect the outcome in ways that you either can't predict or didn't take into account.
Also, I don't believe you've chatted here before, what's your name?

So now I'm dressed up in this Hayley Smith outfit. How does it look on me? Also, how was this afternoon for all of you? Quite exhausted from doing work, but I feel somewhat calm and collected in spite of it all.

Cthulhu! What a superb surprise to such an awesome creature here.
I bet some couldn't sit normally with them around (which might not feel so pleasant if they got messy somewhere).
Hahaha (guess good thing Bubbles isn't here), I dealt with many folks like them in my time.

[1] I think it's another one of those people who post one single message here and leave again. Kind of a shame
[2] Am I missing something? Wasn't Cthulu supposed to make you insane just by looking at him? Either way, welcome.

Mind you, I don't trust my own chess skills. I've played, like, three or four games against actually competent people and easily lost all of them

Looks to me like you just summoned an extradimensional entity. It happens.
I wouldn't worry too much about it, given that we're looking at him right now and are still sane.
Besides, an extradimensional being once tried putting me in it's mouth before spitting me out. I went mad from the experience, yes, but only for a few hours.

I see nothing to get crazy about with them here especially on this day (my birthday)!
Like happy birthday Candy Pakupaku! Maybe that Cthulhu is here to bring you some excitement to the thread!

I mean, some Eldritch Abominations can be friendly, even though a lot of them are portrayed in fiction as hostile. Of course, my knowledge on them as a whole is kind of rusty since I never really researched on them in a while. By the way, is there anything interesting you guys saw recently that you think is worth mentioning, by any chance? I'm curious to know more.

Seems like the storm has finally passed. It's sunny out, finally. There's some fallen trees there and there but our house seems to be okay. Some wild Pokemon have come out from hiding, I can see. Perhaps later I'll go to the beach and try to swim and find some coral reefs to relax.
That's cool. I'll join you. Does Lillie ever like going swimming at coral reefs with you?
She does swim a lot, but usually only in her pool. She's kind of afraid of swimming in the open ocean because of occasional dangerous underwater Pokemon that lurk below the surface.
So, not like me.
Yep.
So, where is Lillie, anyway?
She had to go on a research expedition to the Sinnoh region. I'm sure she'll be fine.
