@ThanosReXXX Thanks. I used to use TinyPic, but it kept displaying...interesting adverts that I'd rather not see, so I tried PostImage for the first time.

I’m doing some late spring cleaning today. I was planning on yard work, but the forecast keeps changing by the half hour.

@HobbitGamer - After realizing yesterday that I was woefully unprepared to just go buy a weed eater/string trimmer/spinning yard work machine, I made a quick pivot to spring cleaning my garage. I still had my snow blower, salt spreader, and winter gear sitting out. I put them all away and lined the walls with fun stuff. Bicycles, tricycles, wagons, squirt guns, fire pit, frisbees, balls, plant/tree supplies. My kids were very excited. They’re off on a wagon adventure right now.

@bimmy-lee Luckily we only get snow once every 4-6 years here, so I don’t have to fiddle with winter gear. But the flip side is that things grow 11 months a year 😂. January all the yard tools get cleaned, oiled, and greased, then they’re back in service.
It still didn’t rain, so I managed to ride the mower across the neighborhood to do my friends lawn, weed, then begin to take my driveway back from crab grass. It tried annexing 3-4 inches on the each side.
Do the youts have those old Radio Flyer wagons? Are those even a thing anymore?

Now I’ll actually get to cleaning once I find something to put on the tv. Maybe I’ll finally see what this Spongebob show is all about

I'm still waiting until 2AM here to watch The Sims 4 presentation from EA Play today. Hopefully my wish will comes true...
25 minutes to go.

@HobbitGamer - You’re a good neighbor! There’s very little outside work more rewarding than putting a nice straight edge around the hard surfaces and driveway. It’s just so fulfilling when you’re done. I bet the crab grass can take it over pretty quick. When I worked for parks and rec in Portland, I had a square park .25 mile on every side. It had been years since it was edged. I did every inch of both sides of the sidewalk. Cut, scrape, load, dump, repeat. Two miles. It was almost two weeks of work. So fun.

Radio Flyer is indeed still flying. Seems like they offer more than ever. That’s our wagon, though it’s probably not much like you remember. It’s enormous and all plastic, including the tires. It has a canopy, fancy drink holders, and storage. My parents bought it. The old fashioned metal or wood Flyers with rubber, air filled tires still exist, which is what we wanted for them, but my parents showed up with this monstrosity and were like, “It’s bigger AND it was cheaper than those old fashioned wagons.” Ah well. The kids love it, that’s all that matters.

If I could make a suggestion for background noise while cleaning, I would suggest Mister Rogers Neighborhood if you have Prime. It sounds crazy, but I’ve recommended it to a couple friends; and they love it. It’s like stress therapy while you work. Some great songs as well. “Tree, Tree, Tree” is a personal favorite. This is the third time in a week I’ve typed his name on this site. It’s starting to get a little out of hand.

Sigh.... 😢😢😢
The Sims 4 will never going to Nintendo Switch. 😭
I have watched EA Play about The Sims 4 just now and..... No mentioning about Switch version. It just only about New Expansion Pack: Island Living on PC, PS4 & Xbox One. 😔
My reaction was not really excited despite in my heart i still happy to get another new stuffs, but since i have to play in PS4, I wasn't really happy to play The Sims 4. It was like my beloved games trapped in wrong machine as hostages. I just gave a "little handclap" for The Sims 4 new stuffs.

Dang it ! 😤
I still have to keep my PS4 Slim for playing The Sims 4 and Portal Knights.
I guess EA is really really Abysmal right now....

@bimmy-lee Oh man, that is a lot of work. But I bet you stood there and stared awhile after it was all done 😂 Mine isn’t too rough, but I’ll definitely need more line. My friend is now paying me to do her property, which is great. Our next project is going to be clearing the back 1/3 acre of everything but established trees. Originally she only fenced a portion of the backyard, but now kudzu is using gravity for its on dastardly plans of plank destruction. I can’t wait, I’ve already sharpened my machete. I love a good brush clearing.
I decided to put on the Nintendo championship and catch Smash. The splatoon stuff confuses me cuz I couldn’t make it past the demo.

I'm doing some cleaning this weekend as well. Just the routine stuff that I do every couple of weeks mostly. I'm gonna need to reserve some time soon to spray down some brush though. I don't want the creeper to overtake my shed.

I'm currently heading to a yearly performance my mom, sister, and I normally attend about an hour away. I haven't played PoGo in this town yet, so I'm hoping to get some new Poke Stops in and catch a shiny Slakoth while I'm at it. It's a college town, and the performance itself is at the university.

@ThanosReXXX Considering I missed checking the forums at all yesterday and part of today, I'm glad that someone understands my pain. 😜

@HobbitGamer - Hard to beat vigorous machete swinging. I had to look up kudzu. I thought maybe you had a Lovecraft monster on the loose. Now I know the vine “that ate the south”. I’ve seen it in lots of pictures before, so it’s cool to know what it is. I love pictures of nature taking over abandoned man made structures. You guys better start hacking away at it before people in the neighborhood start disappearing. It can grow 65’ annually! Incredible.

@bimmy-lee It pretty much is a Lovecraft monster. You can only kill it by removing and destroying a ‘heart’.

@ReaderRagfish yeah this thread should be mostly leak free. We probably won't even talk about Mario Kart 9 reveal at all.

What, you didn't like having to write down a completely different friend code for every game until you have a giant list of numbers for your 20 online Wii and DS games?

Key sentence here: I never was much of a Nintendo-online gamer to begin with. And besides that, far as I know, all online servers still live for the Wii mainly consist of custom versions of these games, so you also have to install all kinds of patches and add-ons on an SD card or external hard drive, to be able to join in. But even if that isn't true, I honestly couldn't care less. I only ever game online on the Xbox, and only with friends that I actually know.

@NEStalgia Feel free to ask me about anything comics-related that you didn't understand. I'm certainly NOT going to help you to get back to the topics of trains, however. Both are basically topics for nerds/niche audiences, but at least comics are still cool, especially now that Marvel has more or less become mainstream...

As for Mario Kart 9: too late for me. I already watched that OBE1 video about the entire Nintendo presentation being leaked. Nintendo has no more surprises for me this year...

@Matthew010 No problem, you're very welcome.
I've been using PostImage for years now. By far the best image uploader, far as I'm concerned.

@ReaderRagfish What leaks? Compared to last year, it's dead calm right now. Probably also because there isn't any "NX-sized" secret to be announced...

@Tyranexx To be honest, I only ever feel a mild annoyance, but it does make me wonder every now and then, seeing as sometimes, days can pass and there's only one or two extra pages, and yesterday, it was a whole five pages, and to top it off, removed comments, something that annoys me to no end, because it disrupts the flow of a discussion, making it look like some people are talking to someone who isn't there, and I positively HATE things that don't make sense...

I gotta be honest. Whenever I see a text wall from @ThanosReXXX , and my name not in it, I feel like a little part of me dies each time since everyone seems to be included in them 😉

I managed to bag one shiny Slakoth (bad IVs, but meh) and nabbed a few new stops to boot. The campus was ripe with them, but due to time constraints, I was only able to hit 1/4 of them.

@ThanosReXXX I get over it pretty quickly lol. Since this thread isn't on any particular topic, I don't feel as obligated to follow along. That kinda depends on how many pages it's moved though, and how many posts I actually read or skim....

(I do read a majority of the posts here, but some of the wordier ones I sometimes skim through or ignore completely. Ain't nobody got time for that! )

@NintendoByNature Text walls with several persons in them simply represent me trying to answer all people that addressed me earlier. I used to have this non-allowed habit of multi-posting, and now I just copy/paste the heck out of it, to put all quotes, questions and answers all in one comment.

And seeing as there was no question or comment from you to be replied to, you were obviously not included.
But contrary to my rather nefarious virtual counterpart, I always remember (and keep in mind) all the good people, so you aren't forgotten regardless. Hope that makes up for not being included...

@Tyranexx You mentioning skimming through the wordier ones, makes me kinda nervous about my own text walls.

No, actually not. Well, not really anyway...
It's E3 week, so what the heck do I care about what anything thinks about me?
