Years ago, I changed the email of my Nintendo account from my parent's to mine. I didn't realize there was an option just upgrade it from child to adult. I have the option the mature the account. Can I upgrade it and use/carry over the supervisor email? Or would I need to change the supervisor back to my parent's and then enter my email for the upgrade?

And would I lose any of the games I purchased? If there's barely any difference, I don't mind leaving it as is.

So I've been rekindling my nostalgia and have been revisiting old videos. At the moment I'm trying to recall the name of an AJ channel I watched around a decade ago. He had an arctic wolf dancing in his intro to the Trap Nation remix of 'Dekku - Rescue Me (feat. Juliana Chahayed)'

Wasn't as big as the main scene of youtubers. He made trolling/comedy videos. I somehow doubt they were family friendly.

All I remember is him hiding in someone's Enchanted Hollow/Peck den. A random player spawns from out of nowhere and calls him a gardening tool that rhymes with toe. And he crashes out and yells "MOOOOM, SOMEONE ON ANIMAL JAM CALLED ME A ___!!!"

Does anyone have any idea who I'm talking about? I cannot remember his name for the life of me and it's driving me crazy 😭

I know this may be a longshot since there isn't much to go off.

I remember hearing it in a YouTube intro around 9-10 years ago. It's a remix of a song, and the snippet goes "something something REEEESCUEE MEEEE" and then the beat drops. Sung by a woman (she doesn't actually say 'something', I just put that there to fill the gaps.) No idea when the song was released, my guess would be 2000's-2010's.

This information sounds useless in hindsight but if anyone has any idea of what this song could be I'd be very thankful.

About 5 days ago I woke up super dizzy and nauseous. My body was lulling to my right and I pretty much spent the day sitting down. It was super disorienting throughout the day and I had a terrible headache. Tried painkillers but they only took a small edge off the pain. The same happened the next day but wasn't as severe. It got better throughout the day.

The day after, I started getting hiccups. Had them for about 3 days now. What's weird is that they're infrequent, on and off. The first day, I had quite a few hiccups. The second day, there was one singular hiccup in the morning then at night. Today, I had a small handful.

Also the back of my neck has been super stiff throughout. Tried holding my breath, drinking water etc. It didn't work. I've resorted to swallowing a drop of vinegar. Hopefully it will work. At first I thought the cause was dehydration or lack of sleep, but I'm not sure. I don't take any medications so it can't be that.

Might not be relevant, but for many years I've experienced twitching, body jerks and shivers. I don't know if it's related. I've always had trouble putting sentences together as well, so that's nothing new at least. Had a MRI, EEG and bloodwork done a year or two ago and nothing showed up. I'm tempted to go to the doctor for another checkup but my family are telling me I'm worrying over nothing.

Has anyone else experienced these symptoms? Did it turn out to be anything at all?

We all know there's plenty of Homelander fakes out there. But does anyone know if the rest of them have any? Like Butcher, Soldier Boy, The Deep, A-Train etc?

For a while now I've struggled with embracing a normal daytime routine. I go to bed at 5-6am and wake up in the afternoon. It always ends with me laying in bed thinking "I seriously need to change this habit now", then I wake up the next day and completely forget. I have an alarm on my phone that tells me when I'm meant to sleep. But I'm always distracted by something. If it's not my phone, it's other various things like art, tidying my room, or even just staring at a wall.

I don't know how to break this habit. It seems so easy, yet I clearly lack the self discipline needed. I think it's because it's the one section of the day where I get to turn my brain off and escape from everything around me. Maybe I could shift that towards my waking schedule instead?

I've always had this weird thing where I just freeze in place like a statue, not doing anything, when I should in fact be doing something (going to bed, preparing to leave for work, etc.) It's like I turn into a stone statue because I'm scared and overwhelmed. Is it because time passes so fast? Or is it because I lack drive and motivation in everything I do? I've never really had any sense of ambition or passion in my lifetime. Still don't know what I want to do and I'm an adult. I'm currently unemployed with very little happening in my day to day.

I have very little sense of care or concern for myself. I've gotten better at it, but I used to avoid looking at myself in mirrors. I would lose myself in my own crafted fantasies instead of embracing the real world. I still do. After all, what joy is there in the world when I can't even live the life I want to? The reason I'm so unhappy with myself is one I've realized for a long time, almost over a decade: gender dysphoria. But my family doesn't seem to accept people "like that".

I confided in one of my most accepting family members, but she was adamant that I was brainwashed. Even though I came to that realization on my own accord way before I even knew what LGBTQ+ was. I told her so, and she retorted the classic "well I wanted to be a unicorn when I was 8 too!" Thankfully she hasn't told the rest of my family. They straight up disbelieve in trans people and call them a "threat to mothers."

I think part of the agony is knowing that I do have the power to change my circumstances. But it feels so hard. And I feel trapped in a cage of my own making. And to think that it all stems from that deep unhappiness. I could technically leave and make a life of my own anytime I wanted, but a part of me desperately wants my family to understand. We've been super close my whole life. I don't care what anyone else thinks, all I want is support from the people who raised me. Is it that hard to ask?

Anyways, if I'm ever going to improve my life, I need to start brick by brick. So I thought I'd start with my bedtime routine. If anyone has any advice I'd greatly appreciate it.

Been eyeing a listing lately. Kept the tab open for a couple days. Today, I noticed the listing no longer shows in the search results. Still got the tab though, and I've refreshed multiple times but it doesn't appear to be taken down. It's up as if nothing's happened. Still shows who has it in their baskets etc.

I checked the seller's profile and all their listings are gone. Is this a glitch? Or could they be on holiday? The usual "this user is on break" message doesn't appear on the listing. Or did eBay flag them? They have over a hundred positive reviews and zero negative reviews.

It's been a while since I've played Genshin. I remember falling in love when it came out. It felt magical. I got attached to so many of the characters and have spent regrettable amounts of money. But I eventually grew tired of the long dialogue, lack of diversity and oversexualization. The latter was always there but it's become more blatant. Found myself uninstalling in the middle of Natlan to save storage space.

I ended up playing HSR to "fill the void" and boy did I love it. The storytelling and dialogue felt more alive and less like a slog to click through. And the characters felt better written. I'd just got up to the point where Aventurine's arc draws to an end. I knew what's coming and felt bittersweet, so I never got round to finishing it. While it was on the backburner, I ended up uninstalling for storage space. It was afterwards that I realized how exploitative and predatory gachas can be.

Then the Fortnite skins released, which is actually kind of nice. I feel like they offer a good alternative without gambling away large sums for the characters in the actual game. So I got them. It felt nice and hasn't triggered any FOMO. I'm proud to say I don't play any live service games apart from Fortnite, which I enjoy in moderation.

Now I don't know why, but today a tiny part of my heart has been wanting to return. I accidentally came across cute merchandise and the FOMO started welling up in me all over again. These games brought me so much joy at the time, which I haven't been feeling lately. I strictly don't want to spend any money. I haven't resonated with any of the new characters at all, apart from maybe Lohen who won't be returning for a long time.

I think the sadness comes from my nostalgia and attachment to the characters I've pulled for. I don't even know what my endgoal is, if I'm being honest. I imagine I'd quickly become bored of Genshin's dialogue all over again. Star Rail, on the other hand, maybe not so much. I at least want to finish Aventurine's arc since he was my favorite. I even have a plushie of the character that just sits on my shelf and I think about the game from time to time. Would it be a bad idea to jump back in as long as I refuse to spend any real money?

Maybe none of it is as good as I remembered it to be. I think I just miss old times. And it wouldn't hurt so much if I hadn't spent all that money and time. What was it all for if I don't even play anymore?

Edit: looking back at this a little bit after posting, I can't believe I wasted my time even thinking about revisiting. I have so many better things in my life and empty gambling games isn't one of those things.

I'm looking for a Grookey and a Sobble. I can trade a Scorbunny for each if that makes it fair!

I browse Reddit sometimes because it can be pretty informative when nowhere else has the answers I'm looking for. And also when I'm just curious to see people's opinions on things. But sometimes the people on this platform are just so reactive for no reason. It's obviously not personal but it really gets to me? Like if I make a post asking a question and it gets 0 comments and more downvotes than upvotes. Nobody ever explains why and I'm just sitting there scratching my head, wondering what I did wrong?

I already have problems where I feel like I offer nothing of substance to conversations, and sometimes this platform makes me feel worse. And it's not like I've had any nasty encounters. Just slightly iffy ones. Does anyone else feel this way? How do I get thicker skin?

So a couple of days ago I had a slightly strange dream. I was peacefully sitting in the front of my lawn, and suddenly a passerby got on a yellow bicycle and waved goodbye to me. It felt sort of touching for reasons I don't know? But here's the thing, this person had passed away in real life a few days prior to the dream. I was aware they passed, but I wasn't acquainted with them and didn't really know anything about them at all. Just seen them around a few times, that was it.

A week after, I found out from others (who were much closer to them) that this person did in fact own a yellow bicycle, which they loved dearly. Apparently they didn't have it with them, it was at their family's house back at home. I had no idea and couldn't possibly have known in the first place. I'm struggling to believe that I would've subconsciously picked up any cues about this.

I'm curious as to what this could symbolize. Also has anyone else had something similar happen?

Usually my dreams are pretty blurry and abstract. By that, I mean that it's hard to see or recall most details, apart from the bare minimum. People typically don't say anything. Sometimes they even walk away when I try to speak with them. But when they do talk, it's 99% incoherent. The range of emotions I feel in these dreams is usually dampened, apart from frustration and a sense of rejection. Those kick in pretty strong when I'm trying to communicate with others. The people, circumstances, and surroundings change every few seconds. Also very rarely, my POV sometimes changes to a camera-like perspective that slowly moves, pans in and out, and rotates. I have no idea what that is and if anyone else experiences that?

A good handful of my dream locations are usually an amalgamation of places from memories. But they can recur, and the accuracy is appears to be consistent every time. Some places are completely original and differ from the amalgamations, and I'm sometimes able to revisit them with accuracy. Also I can have a dream, then it recurrs a year later continuing exactly from where it left off. From what I know this is a pretty common phenomenon.

There are two other distinctive categories of dreams I have. One being the type that feels like a real day. I wake up, get out of bed, do my routine, talk to my family, etc. Everything is so clear and time really feels like it's passing. Then I wake up thinking these events really occurred, only to learn that they didn't. I've noticed that I'm usually doing something that I've been putting on the backburner in real life. Like watching a new TV series with my family. Or asking questions I keep forgetting to ask in real life.

The other category is a rare kind of dream for me. One that feels surreal, warm, and possibly more emotive than real life itself. There was one where I was relaxing in a forest with a loved one from the past. I could feel the gentle breeze. The delicate rays of sunshine, glimmering through the tree leaves that softly swayed back and forth. We were just cherishing the moment and the view. Then I woke up feeling happy for the rest of the day. It's been about 2-3 years, but I can still feel a fragment of what I felt when thinking about that dream.

A couple days ago I had another surreal dream. I was chilling on my lawn, and someone got on a red scooter and waved goodbye. It felt touching for reasons I don't know. They had died days prior to this. I didn't personally know them, or know much about them at all. These dreams make me feel with more clarity than I ever do in my waking life. It's very confusing but wonderful all the same. I was wondering if anyone else experiences this.

LL tends to have a varied fanbase among online spaces, so I'm curious to see what the results are for this subreddit!

Also bonus question: who's your favorite group and character?

So I plan on getting official can badges. They're from a limited pop up shop, so I want to treasure them for as long as possible. Probably won't collect more than a handful because they're expensive. I don't even have an ita bag yet. Still deciding between a big messenger bag for everyday use, or a small one for outings with friends.

Straight to the question: If I want to prevent rust, mold, etc, will protective cases help or hinder? Will the lack of breathability and trapped air be counterproductive in humid environments? I'm going to have silica packets as well.

I'm super new to the ita bag community and haven't bought anything yet. I'm only gonna get a small handful of can badges. Officially licensed and limited/premium ones (probably metal at the back and paper at the front with PET film). I imagine they're quite durable, but I want to look after them anyways!

I was planning on getting protective covers, but it might be counterproductive. I live in a humid area and the lack of breathability might accelerate rusting. My best bet might be silica gel packets.

How often do you replace the packets though? I know they're meant to feel light and crisp, and when they're heavy and puffy you replace/reheat them. But do you guys change them periodically just to be safe anyways?

I'm probably overthinking it but I just want to be sure. Thanks :)

I know this sounds super specific but I'm struggling to fix my sleep schedule. I think a game with morning FOMO would be a perfect starting motivation.

The only remotely similar concept I've experienced is the Animal Crossing series. Preferably looking for console games (Switch, Playstation) but open to mobile games too.
