@NintendoByNature Oh man, Kid Cuisine, that's a blast from the past! I used to love those!

@klingki hands down the best bad food out there

The individual pot pies are actually pretty good. I don't really have TV dinners these days, but I definitely ate them in college. They were better than the vending machine food anyway. One of the clubs I was in allowed free access to a microwave as long as you cleaned your messes (Which, thanks to my OCD, I cleaned some that weren't from me). I definitely took advantage of that thing lol.

I'm not a huge TV dinner fan, but they sure are convenient in a pinch.

@NintendoByNature - So “authentic”, you’re basically in Italy when you eat one. I love when frozen food companies slap a word like “authentic” on the box. It’s like they’re saying, “We swear, it’s real food! You may even like it.” If I go frozen emergency dinner these days, it’s usually a Digiornio or some frozen tamales from the grocery store. All this TV dinner talk has me thinking about a Salisbury steak though.

@Ryu_Niiyama Uh, except...
A: The 360 suffered a problem that was an inevitability and they never paused manufacturing it.
B: And to avoid recalling they are freely repairing any joycons it happens to

Not saying it wasn't blown out of proportion (cause it certainly has been), but even if it was happening to 100% of joy-cons I'm not sure Nintendo would pull a full recall. And honestly, is there anyone who's had a pair for 2+ years without it happening? I don't know anyone who's avoided it at least, but I wouldn't know how to prove any actual statistics.

@bimmy-lee lol, I felt like I was in the canals of Venice eating it. But in all seriousness. Diet tomorrow, frozen lean cuisines are in the works

@link3710 MS did pause manufacturing. That’s why the jasper line came out.

If numbers got leaked that were high enough to make investors worried Nintendo would be forced to fix the situation by investor and social pressure. This is a Japanese Company after all. Either way it is what it is.

@Anti-Matter Squidward can't have a focus due to the nautical nonsense his neighbors rev up.

Also, last night was worth it due to all of those grilled cheese sandwiches, much better than the champagne which I thought tasted like poop (I miss the apple cider I used to get instead of that).

"Squidward can't have a focus due to the nautical nonsense his neighbors rev up."

Then, he will turn into Ci'eth. 😆

Ugh. Going back to work after a holiday in the middle of the week feels like another Monday. I keep getting my days mixed up.

@Tyranexx I'm just happy it's a short week because of it.

@NintendoByNature Overall I'm glad it's a short week. It's just been a weird one lol. I'd rather have my days off joined with the weekend when possible. Last week was even weirder since I had Christmas off, worked Thursday, and then took Friday off. XD

@Tyranexx yea for sure. It does feel like a Monday though lol. I was supposed to be off from the 24th thru today but ended up working almost every single day. My customers have been pretty relentless so unfortunately that means I work since im tied to my cell.

@NintendoByNature Bummer. Hopefully you at least had a break on Christmas day to enjoy yourself.

Hmm....How to untie you from your cell....If it's surgically attached, that might prove to be difficult.... 🤔

@NintendoByNature Haha. Yeah I feel like the concept of “time off” went away for most people when email and cellphones were invented. Ohh well. Hope business is good.

@Tyranexx Christmas was about the only day, but at least it was that. @NotTelevision yea they pretty much own you when a company gives you a phone 😑. Business has been good at least so there that

@NintendoByNature That's good! At least you got to spend some quality time with the wife and the young NintendoByNatures. ^_^

Doesn't your company have you on call only during certain hours or days, rotating with someone else? That's how it works for some of my coworkers who are issued cells.

Eh, at any rate, at least it all means business is good!

@Tyranexx yea thanks we had a good time. Since I do outside sales, my set list of customers are " my problem " so to say. For instance, if i sold a customer a big order and went on vacation when they were going to run the machine it would be unfair to have my colleague who doesn't get paid on that customer come in for support. So youre kind of stuck with being on call for your customers 😣

@Tyranexx "the young NintendoByNatures"

Also, and/or affectionately known as NintendoByParentalHeritage's...
@NintendoByNature (or was that parental brainwashing?)

@NintendoByNature That's totally understandable, but still a bummer. From my limited customer service experience as well as what our support team fields sometimes, I know some customers can be QUITE needy. 😣

@ThanosReXXX I gotta add my own spin to the English language every now and again. 😉
