@HobbitGamer - Not sure if real life or graveyard keeper.

@NintendoByNature - Sounds like you have a real nice vacation lined up then. It’s hard to beat night fishing for crappie from a pontoon. Get some Peronis on ice, maybe some gross gas station cigars. Good times. Hope you enjoy it. Having grandparents on hand is clutch for parent breaks.

I don’t think I’m getting MM2, even though I enjoyed the first one. The sheer amount of games I already have, and games I know I’m going to get is absurd at this point. I have to make some sacrifices, I didn’t get Yoshi either. You’re swaying me with 3D World Tube Mania. I may buy it just to play that. It’s great that you can play a bit with your kids. I do a little with mine, but they’re still young for it. We mainly do NES games. It’s madness when they try to use controllers. So hard to watch Mario die continuously on the very first Goomba in SMB.

@bimmy-lee thanks, should be some good fun. We're trying to convince my parents to let the kids sleep with them. They aren't biting yet though 😂. My kids don't like sleep. The polar opposite of their parents. Just to sleep 1 day past 8am sounds like the best thing in the world 😣.

Yea it gets tough with Mario games for the 6 yr old. The 10 yr old gets it,but he's just not interested in smb 1-3 or even smw.. hes into the newer ones like the "new smb" games. Probabaly because of graphics. As for the 6yr old, I'm with You, its hard watching her struggle with the 1st level of any Mario game. To her defense though, She doesn't play video games nearly as much as i did at her age. I had a controller in hand no later than age 4. And those games were smb 1-3, megaman 2, punch out and a few others. So I knew them all like the back of my hand by her age. We play alot of dkc tf though and shes usually dixie and asks me to literally carry her through the levels, same when we play 3d world. Sometimes i just look over at her and shes fiddling with her feet or something, no controller in hand 😂. I say, " don't you actually want to do something?" She replies " no, I like it when you carry me through levels, BUT DONT GET THAT CAT SUIT POWER UP!!! SAVE IT FOR ME!!"

So Yea, I get it lol

@ThanosReXXX an apex predator eliminates other predators.... Ultimately that's what humans mostly give back into the cycle.

However the fundamental difference here in our thinking is i see a culling as not only natural and imperative, but also inevitable. I'd we won't do it, nature does it for us. Period. Never fails.

And i do see that step as imperative. Endless population pressure is unsustainable. And every "solution" to that problem offered by the "change our ways crowd" always involves forcing the people that didn't contribute to that problem making their lives worse to accommodate the people that can't keep their pants on and breed like rabbits and created the problem to begin with. And that's where it breaks down. I'm not going to change a thing so THEY can do as they please and force me to live with the consequences of their bedroom activity. I wasnt in the bed. I'm not concerned about the survival of their offspring that help create more problems. Of they have a right to keep breeding and overpopulating the world long term, and force me to accommodate them, then i have a right to burn plastic all day every day for my own amusement, which ends when I'm dead anyway.

"Save the Earth" "change our ways" tends to be code for "restrict free choice from responsible people to accommodate 2 billion reckless ones that will change nothing.". Nope. If we're going to burn the world well all watch it burn together. I won't burn my world so you can have yours.

Your comment the other day if "only eat meat a few times a week" is a prime example of that. Humans are carnivores. Or primary food is meat. Foraging was used only add a stop gap between. Only work artificial farming did a non meat diet become possible. That is how humans have always lived. A demand to change that is an unnatural demand to live to accommodate other people's overbreeding. Similarly humans are solitary hunters, pack hunting when necessary. Cities and urbanization are unnatural forcing dense living without land between us unnatural and a result of overpopulation. Or residual from grouping to deal with a specific natural crisis in the past (Ice age et.) Force everyone to accommodate overbreeding of others. No. Simply no. And forcing me and those that feel the same to do that will require force. And then we're back to open conflict.... And culling. Which fixes the problem anyway.

conflict, war, or simply doing nothing till the world burns. Mass sterilization of all but the wealthy might work too. I'm no fan of China but i do respect that they're the only country to recognize the problem and accept the unsavory necessities to deal with it. Right it wrong at least they tried.

Either way. Either there's a reduction soon or a near or total an extinction later. Unavoidable. And natural ..

So I have like $70 usd in my paypal account, and the eshop's having a sale in Europe, so could I use my U.S. paypal account to buy from the European eshop?

I don't like Monster Hunter.

Me: Yay! Relatively free weekend!

Life: Ehehehe....Nope.

Went to a funeral this morning (Wasn't planning to attend even though I kinda knew the deceased, but I'm one of the few who can run the church sound system. Nobody else was around) and worked on getting retirement stuff lined out for my new job for when I can start making contributions soon. I know that retirement planning is important, but dang is it so. Fragging. Boring. 😫

On top of everything, I've been fighting a headache all day that comes and goes. I even took a power nap earlier that (temporarily) helped. Trying to avoid painkillers but may end up caving if it really flares up again.

Tomorrow will be kinda busy, but I'll finally get to watch Aladdin in the mix.

@HobbitGamer I'm convinced a new Pokemon game is the absolute last thing one should ever sell a Pokemon fan. They hate every game. I swear these are the exact same people that insists melee is the best. Go? I have phone games, it's not real Pokemon. Sun/Moon? Cheap gimmicks! To easy! Rushed! Sun Moon 2? Rehash! Do something new! At least give us a remake of yellow... We know you're doing it! Let's go (remake of yellow)? Laaaame, not real Pokemon, it's like a phone have. GF doesn't get it... We need real random battles like before. Just make an open world 3d modern game, enough of this 2d garbage. SnS (3d open world modern game with traditional battles)? Fffuuuuuu game freak! Not all 1007 Pokemon from forever are in it and you used similar looking animations, why are your lazy? Hard pass! This new game has no content...i mean other then the new world, the new visuals, the new gameplay style, camera style, exploration mechanics, abilities, music, and story, this game is missing so much content! I can't believe it only has 800 Pokemon.... How dare it miss 200 Pokemon nobody even remembers existing because they suck. I BOUGHT THE ENTIRE MANGA SERIES FOR MAGIKARP!!

I found a funny show on Netflix. ‘The Casketeers’. Its a lighthearted reality show that follows a funeral home in New Zealand.

Oh, and truth. I got dysentery as a child when I was visiting family in West Virginia. Good times. It was Easter, and I’ll never eat Peeps again.

@NEStalgia
I would like to see next Pokemon games looks like FF XII.
Full 3D exploring, you can see Wild Pokemons, you can encounter them directly with No Random encounter cutscene, you can use 3 Pokemons for battle (No more 1 vs 1).
When the Pokemons do Ultimate Attacks, it will have cutscene like FF XII boss battle.
Actually, i like this idea better than old fashioned style since Gameboy era.

...You mean people willingly eat Peeps to begin with? Like fast food tacos, I don't get why some people seem to be obsessed with them.

@Tyranexx I think it was more that my cousin was trying to be nice and sneak me some Easter goodies since I wasn’t keeping anything down.

As you can now imagine, I’ve never be too keen on the Skittles brand motto of “Taste the Rainbow”

@HobbitGamer Without getting too descriptive....Trust me, I totally get it.

But Peeps...They just taste so fake to me. Way too sweet and sugary for my liking.

I used to love peeps as a kid. Now, ill only eat 1 or 2 per year. And they have to feel fresh. Any firmness usually taste like garbage. Now Cadbury eggs. Gimme like a dozen

I’m good for a couple Peeps while they’re in season, but I’ve always preferred mine to be a bit chewy. I typically slice the cellophane and age them 3-5 days.

@NintendoByNature - It’s hilarious and also super frustrating to watch young kids be bad at games. Mine like the Color Zen games. The standard one is free, or at least it was for a while, and the kids version is only a few dollars. I started gaming young too. I had some arcade experience and played quite a bit on the 2600 with my grandma, but NES is when I got whacky about it.

Same lol. I have a weakness for most chocolate, and by adding most fillings to the mix....Yum!

I do have the rare Peep when they're in season as long as it's the blue raspberry variety. Even then, it has to visit the microwave for a few seconds (but not too long) before it's palatable.

It's easy for me to ignore most non-chocolate candy unless it's something in the taffy, Airhead, sour gummy, or Starburst families.

I just noticed a bit of useless trivia with the shiny forms of vaporeon, jolteon, and flareon.

So...
Vaporeon is normally blue, add red and it becomes purple.
Jolteon is usually yellow, add blue and it becomes green.
Flareon is usually red, add yellow and it becomes orange.

Their shiny forms are just their normal color mixed with the normal color of the previous one (going in a circle).

Bloop.
