Thoughts on this?

Furret : I'm glad I was able to pause before it started that said turning it like 95% down doesn't bother me that much though it is the sound I've heard the most in my nightmares the past year.

SonicOlmstead: You're the lucky person who gets to experience my only time using this post write system. My question is the following:

What version of Mario Galaxy is this the title screen of?

How long have you been playing Minecraft for? And how many hours?

Hmm that's quite the tricky one but my final answer is Super Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Switch due to the soundtrack in the top left corner not to be confused with Super Mario Galaxy in Super Mario 3D All Stars which also came out on the Switch.
Furret :

It's been a while since I've last checked and counted and such but in terms of hours my last proper count was 7150 wouldn't be shocked if it's in the 7300-7500 range now. I first started playing Minecraft on the PS3 in 2014 but I was super jealous of everyone playing on the Vizzed MC server so in Feb 2015 I bought the game of PC where I've played ever since, and despite me wanting it for Vizzed I've no doubt put the most time into my pvp skills and winning different many games like sky wars and survival games for example.
Dauntez :

What is your favorite passive mob in Minecraft and what makes chickens your favorite? What is the origin story behind your slogan "Kill the chicken!" ?

What's your favorite game of all time?

Also dang, 7K hours is more than me, I think I have around 5K to 6K hours? Though I did start playing only a year after you.

What is your favorite meme?

My favorite passive mob probably changes based on my mood but it's never been chickens that's for sure as for today I'll pick the parrot. The origin story behind Kill the Chickens!!! is way back in I wanna in 2015 I decided to do a Hardcore series on my youtube channel and in the first episode I was chasing a chicken and I should say that my laptop was awful I was playing on so I'm running after this chicken but the ground is not loaded in so I thought well the chicken just ran over it so it should be fine right? Well no apparently there was a pit of lava right there causing me to lose in the first episode. So when I started a new hardcore series I started chasing after every chicken I saw and hunting them down but after reflecting on it at some point I realized how the first game I ever remember playing on PC was Chicken Invaders with my grandpa and ever since everything has made sense.
As for a favorite meme I don't really keep track or remember popular general memes most of the time so I'll have to pick a random one I remember from a series I like so here's my choice

ignore my poor attempts as censoring it but the amount of times I've seen Dragon Ball fans confidently say something that's wrong and seen this image in the replies has happened way too often. I've also start to see the trend with Persona fans and not playing the games but I just laugh at it think they are idiots and then hate that we get a bad name because some of these people have no idea what they are talking about.

Furret :

My favorite game of all time is Persona 5 Royal growing up I didn't have a favorite game because I couldn't choose between Sonic Heroes, Mario Kart Double Dash, Dragon Ball Z Budokai 3, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Super Mario 64. There's probably a few more I forgot as well but anyways growing up as a diabetic I got stereotyped a lot in school and had my own teachers questioning if I was lying to them about being low and such in 1st grade when I was trying to figure it out so even though it's not the same I felt like I really related to Joker being an outcast and being framed for something and how society treated him. I also like how the game shows the public opinion of your actions and how fickle it can all be I really resonated with all of it back in 2019 playing Persona 5 for the first time and then when I played Royal a bit over a year later and it's just P5 but better it's made it extremely hard for any game to ever surpass it for me just because of where I was in life when I first played it and such.

Dauntez :

What is an unpopular opinion that you have? Could be about any topic.

I've thought of a lot of different unpopular opinions I have and could answer with but I'll go with this, the best way to get into Dragon Ball isn't watching OG and then watching Z or watching Kai. The easiest and quickest way to get into it is reading the manga I used to almost dislike Z part of the series because of how much I rewatched it growing up and how much the games covered it and how everything takes so long to happen but reading the manga made me fall back in love with it. Toriyama was so good at making action readable on his panels where when it's fighting it just zooms by because even at a glance you can tell what is happening and where the fight is leading. In Dragon Ball Super's manga Toyotaro seemingly struggles with paneling because all the time I have to stop and carefully look at the panels to understand what is happening.

I don't know if you like Dragon Ball so even though you said any topic I'll give another one that you may or may not agree with. The Legend of Zelda games do not need to go back to the old style of dungeons where puzzles have to be solved a certain way or you can't progress I vastly prefer the more open nature of the dungeons in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. I wouldn't mind them bringing back dungeon items if you could also use creative solutions to bypass the need for them but I don't like the popular idea that dungeons have to go back to the old style, and to go a step further I liked the dungeons in Tears of the Kingdom.

In what ways has being on Vizzed influenced your life?

Well that's certainly a loaded question where do I even begin? Well I wouldn't know anyone I know online without Vizzed for getting me used to talking to people online and on minecraft for starters so pretty much everyone I know that's not family I just wouldn't know and that includes my wife. Being on the Vizzed Mc and hearing about the people who spent the most time online made me want to have the most time online so it lead to me playing minecraft for way too many hours which only around 2000 were on Vizzed so maybe the other 5000 would of always happened who knows but it definitely contributed there. I wonder if I would of got as invested in Zelda over time if not for Vizzed since finding the website the reason I signed up was for A Link to the Past to be able to save my game in the RGR and I was able to keep that save for 10 almost 10 years and finish the game on that very save I started back in 2014 but without Vizzed I wonder if I would of ever got interested in playing the older Zelda's besides Ocarina of Time. I would also say Vizzed became a home to me as a teenager going through my Mom and Step Dad's divorce and going between grandparents and back home and such I at times felt I didn't belong anywhere really but this place was always here I could always go on an adventure on the minecraft server and just feel at peace. Man the rabbit hole just keeps getting bigger thinking about it I first learned of the Persona series because of the music radio playing Time to make History from Persona 4 Golden so I first learned of my favorite game series because of Vizzed and maybe I would of got into it anyway with Joker being in Smash being a thing later that year but it was more I decided to buy Persona 5 because of hearing about it more and more and deciding I was really interested and I really liked the music I don't know if I just saw the Smash reveal if I would of got interested enough to buy Persona 5. I truly can never properly quantify how much Vizzed has influenced and impacted my life like I just wouldn't be who I am today without Vizzed cause almost everything in my life would be different without it.
Furret :

Great response! I know we talked about it recently so I was curious haha.

For a smaller question

What is your favorite color? What about it do you like?

To be honest my answer changes pretty often anymore Green was my childhood favorite and probably plays a small part of why I decided to specialize in the green jersey for tdv, but as I became an adult I really started to prefer light blues for a while. I could also say Gray but I know that's a shade not a color, and while I was never big on it growing up red has grown on me between how often I wear red cause of Ohio State and then Persona 5 using red everywhere I did come to like it more but it would never be my go to color I don't think. Right now I think I'll go back to saying Green but those light blues do make it a hard choice, also as I'm typing all this I can't help but find it pretty funny I never even considered green for my username color and I don't really see that changing as I already have picked out a new username color for in 2050 when I get admin again although I did think of a way to make green work in a similar style while typing this but I probably still won't choose it.
Furret :

What are the duties of a Local Moderator actually like? I'm assuming there's way less activity nowadays to moderate, but I'm interested to hear what it's like from your perspective.

I've been trying to figure out how I want to format this response so I'll start with the TLDR there's not a ton of activity anymore way less than when I first was local in 2019 or was admin in 2021 so it's mostly just making sure no one shows up to try and do harm by posting harmful links and the sort and then discussing the rare things that do come up in the discord. I would say if you've at all ever wanted to just apply there's no longer quota and if you want you could eventually work your way up the ranks and go for admin to change your username color. If you decide to the thread to apply is pinned in general chat forum.

As for what it's like for me I find it weird just cause I was so used to being admin before I stepped down in 2024 that being local and having less power is just strange and I've been local way longer this time than I was my first go around on the team and it's funny looking back during and being like wait I hired the current admins back when I was admin but I have a lot of respect for both tgags123 and pokemon x they both do a great job and I like working with them and I don't think I would do better than either of them.

That said #Sonic4Global2026 lol.

When do you think you will hit 6,000 posts on Vizzed? And when do you plan to do it? By the end of the year, or in this TdV, or just something you haven't thought about yet?
