This would be great on the Neo Geo Pocket Color!

@ThanosReXXX I don't know about over in Europe, but here in my corner of the US, a "We'll have this done in XX time!" promise REALLY depends on what figure of authority and/or agency it comes from....

_{Must...resist...politics....}

@Tyranexx Yeah, you better resist them. You wouldn't want @Morpheel to come cross your internet border and punish you... (edit: toned it down a bit.., )

But yeah, they have that over here as well. Hence me not trusting the French president saying that it will be done and dusted within the space of five years. And lo and behold: tonight's news reported that the Notre Dame is going to remain closed to the public for at least six years, so there goes that five year promise. Poof! Gone within the space of a single day...

@ThanosReXXX To be fair, with something like Notre Dame, I'd rather them take time with the sections they're rebuilding. Speedy work is one thing, but I'd want the restoration to be done well and as faithful to the original as possible.

But yeah, "done in XX time" often mysteriously increases somehow....

I don't post here that often...but...I....CAN FINALLY STREAM WITH LITTLE PROBLEMS NOW!!!
...Yeah, did some test streams earlier today and had issues with video quality (lag and stuff) and some weird audio problem. Tried it again with different settings and barely any issues now, yay!

Might stream again later tonight once Cuphead on Switch is out.
(I also put my Twitch link back in my signature now)

im here once a week basically, working for the illuminati has my hands tied. we got rid of the virtual console for wii, working on the wii u one, plus slowly letting people know were discontinuing the nes games via switch.

wait so ok
my 2 idiot neighbors below me are military police officers.
theyre also very young.
and drink a lot.
they just moved in and i warned them of the chronic idiocy that is embedded around here.
it didnt do any good.
one just got drunk and was cleaning his 12 gauge and it blew a hole in his ceiling.
he was cleaning a loaded shotgun.
while drunk.
the real police wanted to make sure no hole was upstairs where i live.
there wasnt.
my question is, what kid of shotgun wouldnt blow a whole from ceiling to upstairs?
lets see if they get evicted.
they dont play castlevania anyways.

That's like the most USA thing I've heard today.

Guess you should be glad your floor is stronger than their ceiling.

@Tyranexx Oh, I agree that they had better take their time with a landmark as ancient and important as this,
but I do always have to laugh/chuckle at "promises' of world- or political leaders...

Wait, what??? Nooooooooooooo!!!

Nah, couldn't care less. Activated the trial, tried a few games, and immediately canceled the automatic renewal afterwards. It's time for Nintendo to pony up more SNES, N64 and also GameCube games already. The delay of adding these systems to their VC/backwards compatibility is getting ridiculous.

Glad you didn't get shot. That sounds like one hell of an experience. That's what you get when you mix drunk young men and weapons, though.

As for your question (and here's hoping it wasn't (completely) rhetorical): if it was an ordinary shotgun, then it not penetrating a second, or probably a third layer, is actually quite logical. It has been shown that even a stack of around 5 to 6 phone books can stop a bullet from fully penetrating, simply because of it slowing down it's inertia enough, for it not being able to penetrate any more layers. Kinda like physics 101...

@ogo79 maybe he was just doing his first desk pop 😅 but in all seriousness glad no one got hurt

It's dangerous to go outside alone.
Summon this animal !

You're suspiciously violent this evening.

He's been playing Federation Force

Cupheads got people in a run n gun kinda mood

I got a tiny set of Copic markers. I see them all around YouTube and really want to try them, but gosh they're expensive.

Two markers and two pens for 17 dollars. And it was the cheapest pack I found.

But hey, that's one thing off the bucket list.

So I finished another round of field research tasks in PoGo and went ahead and grabbed the items that came with getting seven stamps; I left the random special encounter for when I got home. One dropped jaw and a VERY difficult catching session later...I'm the new proud owner of a shiny Lugia. O_O

who's ray and why is the ps5 going to be tracing him?

Nice. I’ve not gotten but one or two of the research encounters. They were both boring basics.
Got The Office Quest on eShop sale, it’s a pretty fun point an click so far. The puzzles are smart. Also snagged Sudoku to replace my picross as the evening puzzle game. Oh and Tiny Hand. It sucks.

@Tyranexx woah! I've only ever found old regular Pokémon from legendary trios (and one regular ho-oh)

I haven't been very lucky with the normal research encounters (Pokemon-wise) for when you complete a single task, but the Azumarill I netted earlier wasn't too bad. It filled a Dex page anyway.

There's also a Jynx that I got from one of those that I use as gym fodder as her CP and moves aren't too bad. I even nicknamed her after a famous singer.

@Morpheel This is my second field research stamp completion and legendary; the first time netted me a normal Ho-Oh. That encounter was scarier in a sense; I had no clue what I was doing and went in with few Poke/Great/Ultra Balls. It finally stayed on the last one. ._____.

In this case, I ran through all my Ultra Balls (even with Razz Berry use) and went through a few Great Balls as well.

The only downside around here is that there seems to be little raid coordination (No local/online groups I can find yet), so I'm stuck with soloing any that I happen to come across. I can solo up to level two raids depending on the encounter and what I use, but nothing past that. The Giratinas popping up are torture....I love that Pokemon.
