Let's relax and celebrate your birthdays with an educative video I just found about snake behavior

It's honestly quite entertaining.

@bimmy-lee Ah, darn... and I was so trying to remember to congratulate you on the actual day...
Oh, well... better late than never, I suppose? Either way, congratulations, my friend.

@NintendoByNature Happy Birthday!

@StableInvadeel Erm.... personally, I don't scare that easily, but I'm pretty sure that most people would not put "relaxing" and "snake" in one and the same sentence...

I got all of my parenting and adulting done this morning, and I have nothing to do but have fun with my wife and pretend we’re young again, which means I’m going to feel suuuuper old tomorrow morning.

Happy birthdays to all....

@bimmy-lee As long as you don't try and do anything overly acrobatic, you'll probably be fine...

@ThanosReXXX - Ah, got lost in the shuffle a couple times, thanks man! Just popped the top on a Schlafly Coconut Cream ale. It’s delightful. Gotta start light and moderate to make it through the plans.

Speaking of acrobatic, I finished the 50 Shades thrillogy last night. It doesn’t end on a high note, the second movie was my favorite of the three. My wife ultimately felt cheated that she didn’t get a single peep of Christian where it counts in three movies. Not even a glance. It does seem like they could have worked it in there during seven hours of screen time, especially given the base. Ah well, the world is a cruel place sometimes.

@bimmy-lee Ah, well. Views were fairly equal, far as I can remember. At least, I don't seem to recall having seen any peeps or glances "where it counts" for us men, either. Although of course men's bare chests often times don't count as the same thing, for some weird, sexist reason...

I'm not quite sure if I'm going to thank you or berate you for telling me about your experience on the third movie, seeing as I haven't seen that yet, but on the other hand, I never expected all that much from any of the movies, because I always expected them to be decidedly softcore and mainstream, especially compared to the books.

@ThanosReXXX - Good point there, we do tend to have a strange equation method. Without knowledge of the books, the third movie does wrap up some dangling storylines from the first two movies, but the scintillation is lacking. If you’ve seen the first two, you should definitely finish it up some time, but this movie was a bit lacking where it counts when compared to the first two in my opinion.

Sorry to interrupt the discussion about dangling bits.

Just updating my Amazon hori situation. I ended up cancelling all the accessories and ordering them from Amazon US instead. Not only were they actually available, they're also cheaper than my preorders.

@bimmy-lee Well, I'll see it when I'll see it. I've also seen the other two on regular TV with quite a few months in between, and far as I'm concerned, they fall more into the category of curios/curiosities, so not really on my "must-see" list, meaning I'm not gonna pay for it to watch it on demand or stream it, or something like that.

Cool, @StableInvadeel .... Hopefully, they'll be there soon, too

Quiet day today. Not up to much aside from a few chores and playing Untitled Goose Game on Switch and Smurfs on 3DS. Had a great time playing Goose Game, the experience made me laugh too many times. How's everyone doing this afternoon?

Also, happy birthday @NintendoByNature and a belated one to you too @bimmy-lee.

@Sunsy Well, seeing as it's already around 11pm over on this side of the pond, I'm well into lazy TV and sports night, accompanied by a Bacardi & Coke and some tasty snacks...

@Sunsy It's going all right for me. Been doing some college work and playing Link's Awakening, though I got stuck in Eagle's Tower. Excellent remake, by the way!

Just turned 31 guys and my fiancée surprised me with a SNES Classic mini

@ThanosReXXX Sounds like a very nice evening.

@MarioLover92 Cool, one day I should try to pick it up. I remember Link's Awakening DX was the first Zelda game I ever played.

@Zuljaras Happy birthday, and what a great surprise, have fun with that!

@Sunsy Well, it's decent enough. All that's missing, is some female company...

@Zuljaras That's certainly a nice surprise. I've really enjoyed the system so far, especially ever since I added more games to it.

@ThanosReXXX Yep. That is the first thing I will do with it! More SNES and NES games!
@Sunsy Thank you!
She ran out of consoles to give me so the SNES mini was the perfect gift!

So in the biggest string of coincidence known to humanity.... I got promoted. Well, the company doesn't see it as one, but our store kinda does. It's an unofficial one but is the first rung on the management ladder.

All because my current supervisor got promoted up from the position, she got replaced in the role by someone from the food team, she is now leaving, so I'll be leaving my spot as Senior Food Staff to go fill that role.

And it's a beast of a job too.... Want an area of the store changed? I'll be doing it. Monthly promotional aisle/ends changed? Me. Parts of the store aren't making enough money from upsells. I fix that.

I start in at most 1 week it seems. The incumbant leaves next weekend and I'll move over when they are satisfied I can be replaced...and they are looking to replace me with two people...yikes.
