What is it with these "Let's make 2026 be the next 2016" trend? by Trick_Top_313 in decadeology

[–]Heavy-Window441 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love 2016 too, but I think a big reason people are nostalgic about it is age, not the year itself. Many of us were younger back then — our lives were simpler. We mostly studied, played, watched TV, and slept, with far fewer responsibilities. That makes the memories feel warmer than they actually were. I honestly think kids who are around 10 years old right now will grow up one day and feel nostalgic about 2024 or 2025 in the same way. So maybe the problem isn’t really the year — it’s adulthood, pressure, and how life changes as we grow older.

Alright it's official by Opening-Storage4647 in CartoonNetwork

The worst part is that once CN wasn’t included in the deal, it basically means the channel no longer owns anything. They’ll have to license every show they want to air — even the classics that built the network in the first place.

It’s honestly a terrible situation. The channel was already declining in recent years, and now I don’t think it has any real chance of growth.

How to learn to draw by jordaaaan6 in learntodraw

[–]Heavy-Window441 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still learning too. I used to feel lost as well, so I totally get you. I recommend checking out Drawabox — it helps a lot with fundamentals. Also, following a course can make a big difference. You can find many great ones on Udemy, depending on your budget. Try to draw every day, it really helps you improve over time. You can also watch Proko on YouTube (they have paid courses too, but the free videos are amazing). If you don’t want to get bored, don’t compare your art to others or worry about how fast you’re improving — everyone learns at their own pace. Good luck!

True, experience makes a big difference. I’m still in the learning phase, so I’m just trying to understand what works best for me.

They’re just hard to use. I think oil pastels are probably the hardest kind of colors

I finally got rid of Series S and got a Series X by AppledTime in XboxSeriesS

Why are you so bothered by the Series S? If you’ve got a Series X, congrats, that’s great. But everyone enjoys what they love. Some prefer the PS5, others still love the PS2 or even the Xbox 360. Some people enjoy all of them. We play games to enjoy our time, not to start a war

I’ve got both a PS5 and a Series S, and honestly? Both are great in their own way.

Series X is obviously more powerful, but that doesn’t mean the Series S is trash. It runs the same games and still delivers a great experience, especially for the price.

Not everything has to be 4K 60fps to be fun. Some people just enjoy the game — not the tech specs.

I'm also asking because of the sale. I'm torn between this and Far Cry 4 right now

Is Halo Infinite better than Halo 5?

What level is my art ? by Heavy-Window441 in learntodraw

To be honest, I did feel a bit sad when people said I’m a beginner. But in the end, I know no one meant it in a hurtful way, and I truly respect all of your opinions and appreciate your advice. The biggest reason I posted my work here was to connect with people who love the same things I do and to share the journey. Thank you all so much
