Topic: Adult Switch Gamers

If anyone fancies a few matches of ROCKET LEAGUE sometime, give me a holler. Especially any fellow novices out there 👍

I really like the look of this game that's coming next week.

Gotcha Racing 2

The original on 3DS received an 8/10 on here.

"Gotcha Racing is a deceptively complex, addicting racer with a maddeningly addictive collection and upgrade system. Iterating on your car to make it the best it can be is an endless, joyful pursuit. It distills the most complex elements of sim-style racers down into a simple, enjoyable formula that works on every level."

The sequel looks to be even bigger and better and it has online racing and leaderboards too. Nothing about a European release yet but it will cost $9.99 in the US.

Anyone about tonight, fancies an online game or two?

I'll likely be on within the hour. So 9:30--10ish UK time.

[Edit] heading online now if you fancy playing anything like ROCKET LEAGUE, PUYO PUYO TETRIS, ARMS, MARIO KART 8 DELUXE, SPLATOON 2 (Turf War or Salmon Run is open), SUPER BOMBERMAN R or anything else. Let me know in here 👍

@Lroy I wouldn't mind some salmon run and perhaps some turf war.
Password 1234 as always?

Yep, cool. Gimme a sec, just noting down my new high score for the weekly challenge 😉

@Lroy wow. We're getting some really bad teams. :-/

@meppi64 Ha! Ha! It's all good.

Anyone wanna join us? - password is 1, 2, 3, 4 for our Salmon Run room.

@Lroy @meppi64 I'll be on in 5.

Not able to join either of you, Are you still playing?

@Lroy I've been lowered 2 pay grades in only 6 games. :-/
I wonder what some people are doing.
I mean, why charge into the enemy when you have fireflies around you on a dark night?
They should lead the enemy away so others can protect them instead of going on a suicide mission.

Try now.

Ah that was because we were in a game. Should be fine now @OorWullie

Well, no one to blame but ourselves for that one! ;P

Gonna call it a night. It's getting kinda late.
That sure we're some tense games!

Cheers fellas @Meppi64 @oorwullie

@meppi64 @Lroy Sorry lads I got disconnected during that last wave and then my mum asked me to go down for something. Cheers for the games. Goodnight.

How does it look?

My marker pen slipped when I was colouring the wooden edges and put a small mark on the Switch logo. That will annoy me now. It is only on the white border though, I can take the sticker off easy and then cut round the logo, but getting the rounded edges will be tricky. The stickers are quite thick.

@OorWullie They are amazing, they made out of PVC sheets or something?
Edit: Ignore me, just read the bit at the bottom of the post about the wood

@Bunkerneath Thanks. I got the stickers from Red Bubble. They're very good quality,nice and thick and can be taken on and off and used again. Not sure what they're made of.

@OorWullie You should make templates of the panels used, and share them on here (Or sell them online)

@OorWullie I'll have to dock one point for not having a Solvalou sticker on there, but that only bring it down to 9/10.
Actually looked it up and they don't have a Solvalou one, but they have one with the Solvalou on it!

Just read your post in the other thread about moving and I must say, I truly wish you all the best. Been through quite a lot already from the looks of it.
I sold my own place almost 3 years ago since it was making me miserable. Small rowhouse in a terrible neighbourhood and with the neighbours from hell living next door.
Went through a depression and a serious burnout after spending 2 weeks in the hospital with a ruptured appendix which the doctors hadn't diagnosed so it took & week and half of suffering before they even sent me to the hospital.

Started saving up all the money I could to sell the hellhole and find a new place. After 3 years I finally did so, just as I was getting ready to just sell the house, quit my job and move to another country as I was so sick of all the BS here.
Even though I've been home for the past 5 months with a burnout due to other reasons now, I'm certainly a bunch happier then before.
Should have taken the step many years sooner, so I have tons of respect for other taking the plunge and seeking happiness as it's something that's harder to do than most would imagine.

I'm out in the countryside now, well more or less, so a lot less people around me and lot less headaches, except for the terrible bunch at work, and most of my own family.
Been in a relationship for 8 years that I ended since it was going a rather bad way.
Haven't felt the urge to look for someone else, even though it's been nearly 10 years already...

Got a ton of work that needs to be done on the house still as it's an old bungalow, so I'm slowly renovating it as I save up money to do everything that's needed.
But I don't really mind roughing it for a while. Bought it for the location and silence and because it had a much larger yard than before. Love spending my summer days there, reading books and playing some Game Boy games.

I get to see tons of wildlife here as well. From all kind of birds, ducks, woodpeckers, etc to a wild bunny or two that's been showing up every couple of days. A whole family of hedgehogs.
Actually saved 2 little hedgehogs last year on my way home from work at night.
