Ugh! I remember that event. What’s worse is I had completely forgotten what to do for Manhandla. I did not succeed the first few times.

Had DIY allowed you to use the camera, it would've provably died within the first year.

It's one thing having people sharing games with poorly drawn genitalia in them, but a much much worse thing is having kids sharing pictures of themselves or their area to strangers on the internet, or having said strangers sharing inappropriate pics.

It's what happened with swapnote.

That was managed by hatena. Nintendo is much stricter with their user content.

@ThanosReXXX Another interview, this time on Monday. Requires a full DBS check, numeracy and literacy tests, assessments during the interview, then references obtained, health checks and good to go.

Gotta get by the interview first though

@Knuckles-Fajita Well, good luck with that, then. I just had a second interview yesterday, at a really big international IT reseller/wholesale company, for a new assignment, and they also suggested, that if I'm interested, there's even an option to halt my own activities and come work for them full time.
So, besides the interview, they also gave me something to go home with and think about...

Now I'm waiting for the result from an interview that they're having with another candidate today.
Gonna get a call on Monday to hear what they decided...

@ThanosReXXX I hope you actually get a call then! You know what happened to me. A late email!

This job would be a new challenge for me, definitely. A Support Worker in the community. Kind of follows on from my grandmother being deputy manager of a care home and my community orientated activities.

I hope you get this job though, it sounds right up your street!

@ReaderRagfish: I just started the game and am not very far in yet. I think I'm about halfway through Uptaten Towers. It's definitely an interesting area!

Funny thing is that I almost lost because my second character was on his last few hearts, and not only the bosses, but the enemy characters were right on my butt..........I still got an A rank. xD

What's up with all those lonely Pokemon GO players as of late? There's literally a dozen of them every day.

@Knuckles-Fajita Yeah, I know about those emails. A lot of companies paint a pretty picture, and put up a front of being civil and all according to rules and agreements made, but in the end, the candidates that don't make it, simply don't interest them, and as such a quick, generic message suits them best.

I've had two lengthy interviews with them now, though. Both over an hour, and I like to think that over the years applying my trade, I've become a pretty good judge of character, and being able to read people. Online not so much, due to the missing intonations and facial expressions, but face to face, I'm almost always right, when guestimating something or someone.

As such, I am pretty confident that the call will come on Monday, but of course, I don't know what they have decided, especially since I've no idea who the other candidate is and what his qualities are. So, I've simply decided to let it go for now, because it's out of my hands: I've done my part, it's up to them now, if they either want to give me some assignments or a full time job, or if they decided to go with door number two instead.

No need for me to ruin my weekend by keeping that going around in my head all the time...

They’re not lonely, they’re totally trolls. They can use google search to find the site, but can’t use a forum search? Nah man. Them bridge goblins are bored

@ThanosReXXX I hope Monday goes well, I need a job...just got an email rejection from another.

ah yeah its taco time !@#$%

@ReaderRagfish Dragon Quedt XI was the first revealed Switch game back in 2015 along side the other versions.

Since then it was released on PS4 and 3DS in Japan. Switch came out. It got localised on PS4 AND ported to PC...all before we see one pixel of the game on Switch.

They announced the game before they even knew it was doable.

@ReaderRagfish It's on UE4 too. I mean sure, DQ11 is built on 4.3 that predates Switch and the earliest version that does support Switch fully is 4.13 released in May 2017, and you could say the code is incompatible as that is something that was altered between the two versions.

Problerm is, a SquareEnix studio had a UE4 game ready to show at the January reveal, with Octopath, no doubt on a much older build. So the DQ studio is just biting their lip hoping we forget and ignore the blatantly obvious.

Dark Souls has more of a chance of coming out. At least we saw that running.

@ReaderRagfish X probably wont be localised ever. At the speed SquareEnix does ANYTHING, I'd be impressed if it doesn't take Nintendo funding it to make it happen, like with 7 and 8 on 3DS, and DQ Builders on Switch among other things.

@ReaderRagfish And now Square has said, nah DIY.

...I just want a new Fortune Street game on a Nintendo system. TwT

@Joeynator3000 The sweet return of Business Slime.

"A Slime draws near. Command?"

buy stocks

...Seriously though, I loved that game back on the Wii...it was awesome. And yeah, I have the iOS version, but...the whole Mario x DQ thing was nice. Loved the Mario remixes. (wasn't really a fan of DQ)
