Place your random thoughts.

aaa I FINALLY finished the lineart for a sketch that I made like a week ago. I’ve been too lazy to work on it and now I feel very accomplished. hopefully I can get around to coloring it tomorrow ^^
 
Totally 100% bored. Got tired of speedrunning Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX and found a good stopping place, and not sure what I want to do now. Will probably end up watching Mob Psycho 100 or playing a different game. Of course, I could always just work on my book some more... idk

I think I’m going to work on my book more to be productive because Wynaut.

I had to put on an older pair of broken headphones since my current pair got worse.
Even though I knew this older pair makes everything sound bizarre, I decided I would just live with that and keep my playlist going.
Well... now I have heard Ready As I'll Ever Be with almost none of the lyrics. These headphones are amazing in a weird way, lol.
 
So found out why I kept getting that goddamn Mariya Takeuchi song all the time in youtube rec's.. apparently it was some algorithm crap taht was going on... I listened to that song once bc I co-worker played it for me and it definitely did not deserve the hype honestly.
 
Nintendo needs to realize that people love their IPs and feel disappointed when they put minimal effort into their games. Yes, they're primarily for children. Still, kids don't need to be constantly coddled, their hands don't need to be held throughout the whole game. Let them, no, let us explore without being told what to do and where to go. Don't strip the game to it's bare minimum; instead, take chances and try something new. Having a formula is nice, but that doesn't mean that's the only thing Nintendo can strictly do. There is so much potential. Bring excitement back into the games, have fun with them, give kids the games that they'll want to come back to when they're older again. Don't hold back, take those risks. Bring the love back.

Plastic Love? Aw...did you not like it? Or was it just stuffed down your throat so much that you came to dislike it?
 
I was looking at shoes online by a certain brand and they started showing baby shoes and it just reminded me that I have baby fever real bad lmao
 
I don't need it now, but I just figured out the secret to remembering multiplication. It is all about patterns and remembering each number's specific pattern that correlates with each number in a complete number block. Let me explain!

A number block is all of the actual numbers: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
That is it, that is every number that we will ever need to remember and that we will use for arithmetic. Each of these numbers has a pattern that involves the other numbers. As we learn to count we learn the pattern of 1 (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0) as well as 2 (2 4 6 8 0). As well learn more about the numbers we find out that 0 is always 0 and that 5's pattern is 5 0. Why is 5's pattern so simple? This is because five is clean, it is round, it is a half of a whole block; in other words, if you split a block in half you have five digits for each half. If you take away 0--since it always equals zero--your half blocks will look like this: 1 2 3 4 5 and 5 6 7 8 9

Alright. What about the other numbers though? Let's start with the next number in the sequence: 3. 3 has the most complicated pattern in the first half while 7 takes that mantel in the second half. This is because they are the quarters of the block, the middle men of the halfs, the odd ones out. So what is 3's pattern? You might think 3 6 9. Yes! You are correct! For the first 3 numbers. What is the next number, the number that corresponds with 4? It's 2. How do I know this? Well, 3 times 4 is 12 and since 2 is our first digit we can conclude that the next number in 3's pattern is 2. Using this knowledge we can finish the pattern for each number in a block.

3.
3 6 9 2 5 8 1 4 7 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

How does this help with multiplication? Well, if you remember the order of this pattern, you can remember the first digit of your solution! 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 36 39 42 45 48 51 54 57 60 63... It all repeats!

Even better, 3 and 7 are the only complicated ones! Or rather, the only ones that have a new number for each digit of the block. 2, 4, 6, and 8 conversely, only have five numbers to remember. This is because these are even. They are the clean cuts of the even block; that is to say, they split into equal parts: 2. Let's work with 4.

4.
4 8 2 6 0 4 8 2 6 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

Remember when I said that 5 is the middle of the block? You know why else that is awesome? Because 5 6 7 8 9 is just 1 2 3 4 5 flipped! That means that the patterns are also just flipped! 1 is 9, 2 is 8, 3 is 7, and 4 is 6

6.
6 2 8 4 0 6 2 8 4 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

7.
7 4 1 8 5 2 9 6 3 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

8.
8 6 4 2 0 8 6 4 2 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

9.
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

Another thing to note is that evens only use evens while odds use all numbers. This is because evens are a multiple of two and odds are a multiple of 1. What about 5? Well, 5 does use both evens (0) and odds (5). It is just a clean half equalling 2. You can say that 5 is to 2 as 2, 4, 6, and 8 are to 5 as 1, 3, 7, and 9 are to 10 as 0 is to 1.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
2 4 6 8 0 2 4 6 8
3 6 9 2 5 8 1 4 7
4 8 2 6 0 4 8 2 6
5 0 5 0 5 0 5 0 5
6 2 8 4 0 6 2 8 4
7 4 1 8 5 7 4 1 8
8 6 4 2 0 8 6 4 2
9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

Look! You can see the pattern repeating vertically and horizontally as well as a new pattern for diagonally when you block them all together! ₊·*◟(˶╹ꇴ╹˵)◜‧*･

Math is patterns and patterns are math. Wild.

Oh man I love this sorta thing. My dad showed us School House Rock when we were little to help us skip counting. I have so much nostalgia for “3 is the magic number”
 
I feel like a total idiot... All this time, I never knew the 3DS could play DS games. I always assumed it couldn't. This just opened a world of possibilities for me to open my 3DS again.
 
My Wish order arrived today after a week... the estimated arrival was the end of September. 😳

Yeah, I’ve played a bunch of old DS Pokémon games and other DS games on the 3DS over the years. I wouldn’t feel too bad about it though. I’m sure there’s other people that were in the same boat! Hoping you enjoy whatever you decide to play next. :)

I wish you luck! I experienced most of the DS Kirby games on the 3DS and also played Pokémon white 2 on the system.
