I like unusual stuff myself.

I think you would feel less lonely if you were more accepting of the tastes of other people, be less "I hate this".

@Anti-Matter I think you’re cool. You enjoy what you like to do, and have good art skills.
Just keep being you.
I also think you’ve demonstrated a better sense of letting others enjoy what they do, even if it’s not something you like.

On a different note, anyone else try that “Where are my friends?” game on the eShop? If you haven’t, don’t. I want my 101 gold coins back 😂

@HobbitGamer Should it be renamed to "Where Are My Funds"?

Speaking of unusual, I started Wandersong while traveling a few weeks ago, and I’ve been playing it since. The music is exceptional. The humor is good. The gameplay is light. Overall, I really enjoy it. If you think you might like it, you probably will. It’s very pastel, but it approaches serious subjects in a very sweet, funny, melancholy manner. In that way, it very much reminds me of Earthbound. Singing and dancing as The Bard is way more fun than it should be.

@ThanosReXXX - Again, thank you. Seems like abandonware falls on the light side of my grey scale of morality. Once I’ve read the research you’ve provided, I’ll decide how to best approach the Commodore. I’m very tempted to emulate. Seems like that Wii mod would be the way to go for pointer controls if I’m going that route. My ideal scenario would be a one time binge with someone with your level of passion on original equipment. I have my original Genesis controllers. Three button is fine by me. Pressing start to switch between punch and kick in SFII is fine when both players have to do it. I love that system.

I haven't played either game actually. But, I'm playing earthbound for the 1st time ever. I'm trying to play new genres I normally wouldn't to broaden my horizons so to say. I'm normally not a fan of turn based rpgs so I'm definitely out of my comfort zone. I did however play undertale last year and finished it. That was my first turned based rpg I've played( more than 5 minutes) and I'm not going to say I was blown away by It, but it was entertaining. Ive seen people say undertale is the spiritual successor to earthbound so I'm giving it a shot. I'm only about an hour in so not much to say yet. It is quirky but I'm thinking it'll keep me interested because of that fact. The only thing that concerns me is I read it's about a 30hr campaign which usually turns me off. I tend to get antsy to play other stuff after 20-25 hours in a single game. But I'm giving it a shot, and happy I'm trying some thing new.

@Tyranexx Zing!
@NintendobyNature Don’t worry, it’s got enough variety that it never seems like a slog. I hope you enjoy it!

Pokemon Direct will be 1 hour later, right?

@Anti-Matter Yes.

Hm I ended up purchasing one of those game voucher thingies.

First one went to mario maker 2. I'll try my best to save the second one for pokemon shield.

Now I gotta go and forget I spent that money on things I don't have yet.

I need a root beer. $2500USD in car repairs first thing in the morning. I was going to go to best buy today and buy games! UGH.

@Ryu_Niiyama Ugh, you're getting hit with my May. It'll be alright, breathe deep and scour the backlog.

I wonder who will get car woes next month

It'll be @ThanosReXXX next. His Model-T will toss a timing chain and he'll have to learn how to use a lathe in order to fix it.

What is this a NL user car curse or something?

We call it: the hobbit stink.

And you got it in your pocketses right now.

I think so. I believe I may have started it. Just don't touch the valve covers, and you should be safe.
Oh, and turn the key in this order; ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-START. It keeps the monsters away

Welp, my new username was too long and I didn't realize it until after I set it!

Please no. Mine has been functioning fine. I don't need to be slapped with any car bills outside of a routine oil change this month, thanks.

@AxeltheCorvikni Props to you for picking my favorite Pokemon design from the Direct!

@Tyranexx I think it's per month. And mine should be high enough to cover somebody next month.

@Morpheel My precious money! What is in my pocket? Nothing...tricksy hobbitss.

As much as I dislike public transportation (I'm from rural NC where it is impractical as heck...so I have an ingrained dislike of public transit) I really wish I could take the bus to work right about now.
