Do you like Pokémon? When I was younger I had the cards. I probably have tons somewhere. Who your favorite one?

We used to live in an era where hearing "they're making a TV show based on a game" was an automatic red flag. Lately though, adaptations have been a mixed bag - some turned out incredible, while others completely missed what made the games great in the first place.

Curious where everyone's favorite games land on this. Has your favorite franchise ever been made into a show? Did they actually pull it off, or did they butcher the lore?

And if your favorite game hasn't been adapted yet, what game are you still waiting to see on screen?

jCodes is a board I started on Jcink in mid-2018.

Its primary purpose is to provide abundant resources, documentation, support, and request fulfillment to those in need.

I chose Jcink because it seemed in serious need of a resource board with an abundance of content for Jcink forum owners, and I came from the days of InvisionFree, so Jcink was easy to become acquainted with.

All constructive criticism is welcome.

If I could only play one genre forever, I'm locking in competitive FPS games. Nothing matches the pure adrenaline, mechanical precision, and endless replayability of competing against real players.

No two matches ever play out the same. Whether it's tactical round-based shooters or battle royales, the skill ceiling is basically endless. You don't play competitive shooters to relax - you play for the rush of clutching a 1v3 and constantly grinding to improve.

What genre are you going to pick?

Give a funny and silly reason why you would ban the person above.

For those who used the internet pre-2009 what are some things you miss about the old net?

There’s a lot for me but the big ones is I hate algorithms, and I hate how everything turned into monetization. You cannot do anything without “But will it make me money though?”

I don’t have any technical training to be able to do that, but my next door neighbor has most of the tools required for hardware repair. It’s not as if he learned anywhere, but he has been doing trial error until he became quite good at it.

Have you ever tried to repair a faulty gadget yourself?

Remember back in the day when there were multiple different cellphone manufacturers and each came with their own charging cables? Man those were the days! Can you recall the very first cellphone you owned? Mine was a Samsung Glide, I got back in 2011. I didn’t have a cellphone until I got my first job and I was 20 years old. I wanted a Motorola Razr phone in high school but my parents couldn’t afford it. I used that Glide until 2013, when I got my first smart phone which was a Galaxy S2.

Currently in my country, there's only one person who's my favorite social media personality. His name is Verydarkblackman (VDM). He calls himself the online police and he does a very good job of it.

Who's your your favorite social media personality?

We all have those chores or tasks we keep pushing to another day. What’s yours?

Welcome to the workshop! 😂

Your challenge is to invent something completely pointless that nobody actually needs, but that sounds hilarious.

It can be as ridiculous as you like!

A few examples to get things started:

• A remote control that only works when you're standing next to the TV.

• An umbrella that collects rainwater and pours it onto your shoes.

• A self-stirring cup that spills your drink every time it stirs.

The rules:

1. Invent a completely useless product.

2. Give it a name.

3. Explain what it does and why absolutely nobody needs it.

I'll start!

The Snooze Alarm 3000 — an alarm clock that automatically sets itself back another hour whenever you try to turn it off. 😴

What ridiculous invention can you come up with?

How do I deal with inactive members?

Dealing with a biased moderator could be a really tough thing to do. Moderators are supposed to be fair when it comes to dealing with members. However, if moderators are themselves so biased, this could make things really complicated. Spotting a biased moderator could be tough as well. So, how do you deal with a biased moderator?

A forum is a type of website where people discuss various things. This is the primary reason why a forum may have many different sections. Having too many sections is not something that I recommend. However, having few sections isn't something that I recommend either. So, when it comes to online forums, how many sections do you need on your forum?

Growing an online community is not easy, and it takes time and patience to be able to grow an online community from the very bottom.

I don't read newspaper, I haven't read newspaper for many years. In the past, I used to read multiple newspaper regularly, I was writing columns on various newspaper and my columns were mostly political, social, and economical commentary, therefore, I had to read newspaper for information.

Between work, responsibilities and everyday life, it can be hard to find time to relax. Do you get plenty of time to yourself, or does there always seem to be something that needs doing?

This is one of the most interesting debates out there. Many people believe that the internet has made people much more isolated due to the fact that now many people prefer using the internet instead of socializing in a physical manner. On the other hand, many people think that the internet has made it possible for people to connect with each other in a much better manner due to social media. What do you think about this?

I have a very old smartphone. I really do like it, but I wish if I had a newer model. There are so many smartphones out there, and I could wish if I could buy Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6. It is one of the best phones out there. It is actually a foldable phone. Having said that, what about you? What type of phones do you like the most? What phone do you currently own?
