Indeed, it is hella boss. I do enjoy taking time going through episodes of shows to find the perfect scene to screencap to make an avatar. It just so happens that when I made a Kiteretsu avatar a while back, I ended up making a lot of screencaps, thus have been switching them up so as to go through 'em.

Who knows, maybe I'll run with a Dr. Slump theme next. I think I've done a Slump theme or two in the past, but I should probably do a good long-running theme just for shits and giggles (and it's all shits and giggles until you giggle and shit).

Ain't that the truth?

I should really try to keep themes longer. Usually, I abruptly end the theme by changing my avatar, but keeping the signature. Makes it seem lonely.

I stopped having matching avatars and banners a long time ago.

Themes are fun to go with. I usually (at least nowadays) have a profile picture and avatar following the theme. My sig, on the other hand, usually links to various weird and fun songs that I find myself enjoying a lot.

As for Dr. Slump, I really do want an excuse to use this Gohan with Arale one again... I think that this one was my avatar years ago. I am definitely a fan of Akira Toriyama's older anime and manga series.

It makes sense, since Toriyama designed the both of them. It's kinda funny though, because the first one is a robot, but the second one makes robots.

Gynoids are fun. Especially when they don't know they're gynoids.

Argh, I feel compelled to change my avatar... But so many people like this one.

That's a bit of a coincidence...

I never liked the Chrono Trigger art style, to be honest. The sprites look fine, but the art of the characters...bleh.

People may like that one, but you may end up using an avatar that people like even more. You never know! :)

Yeeeeeeah, definitely quite a coincidence. Maybe a bit too much of a coincidence, if you ask me.

I actually liked the Chrono Trigger art style, but that's just me. That's one thing that I love about Chrono Trigger and the Dragon Quest series, the fact that they're chock full of Toriyama's art.

Speaking of my previous comment about mushrooms, has anyone here tried them? I've read that as a drugs go, they are pretty safe and have little to no lasting effects on your health, but since they are hallucinogenic I would want to do them in controlled circumstances, with someone I trust...

I have a friend who does it

You should do it in a controlled environment if your going to take it....
@Neosquid It's a game where Toriyama designed the characters.

I try to base my avatars on what I think other people will like. I've determined that if people don't like your avatar, they might associate that with you or your posts. If they do like it, they might associate it as well. Like right now, if I think of @Satoshi-kun;, the first thing that comes into my head is some kid with big glasses. That's a pretty neutral thing for me. But if I think of @Ninfia;, I think of Sylveon, which is adorable! I try to make all my avatars visually appealing nowadays so people subconsciously associate the positive traits of my avatar with me and my posts, as opposed to them associating a lot of negative traits with me and my posts.

To each their own.

What's Dragon Quest like? Never played it.

I've never tried any drugs for the intent of getting high or something similar.

@Booster Gold; Yeah, that's what just about everyone I know who has done LSD or shrooms or some other hallucinogen has told me.

I did have the opportunity to do LSD once but it wasn't the best environment and that stuff is more hardcore and lasts for 12 FREAKING HOURS. Not sure if I want to go there.

(I hope people don't mind if I pursue this line of inquiry here. I know drugs can be an uncomfortable topic for some.)

For mushroom discussion (which are, interestingly enough, still legal in Austria (according to Wikipedia), and were still legal in fresh form in the UK up until 2005), you'd probably want to seek out a forum where people are more knowledgeable on such things. A Pokemon forum probably wouldn't be your best bet. Also, just to keep things safe here, we should probably cease discussion here as that probably would go against our rules (and would definitely not look good to parents who may be looking over their kids shoulders).

What's Dragon Quest like? Never played it.

A classic Japanese RPG, and one that remains a lot closer to its origins today than the Final Fantasy series has.

Question: why is LSD more messed-up than shrooms?
But it was actually when we were part of a Model UN conference.
(Yep, NERDS CAN PARTY TOO yo!)
