@Eel - Very cool. Will you sketch or write in it? Or give it away? I have a friend who got super into paper making and binding. He gave me a bunch of journals like that.

@Anti-Matter - I won’t see it at the theater, but only because I never get the chance to go. I’ll definitely see it eventually though. I saw the standee, but it didn’t seem like an Anti pic without you posing in there. I’d like to see one where you’re in the standee revving up a spinball and about to launch. Happy Valentine’s Day yesterday your time by the way. You didn’t really say anything creepy earlier by the way. It’s not weird to specify someone’s gender.

@NintendoByNature - Awesome! Have they played or seen you play any 2D Sonic? I’ve shown my daughter on my Genesis and she loved it. Valentine’s Day is officially a drag around here. My daughter is through whatever she had, but my son and wife have both been coming down with cold symptoms. Two years in a row. As Stone Cold Steve Austin says as Ice Man King Parsons used to say, “It be’s that way sometimes.”

@bimmy-lee they haven't yet. But thankfully, I grabbed Sega ages sonic 1 today for 4 bones. So there's time from now until Monday to get a couple levels in.

It's going on, I tell ya. Both my son and I have flu like symptoms. Passed out by 730 last night which is very rare for me. I still feel the effects today,but it's not as bad as it was yesterday. There's alot of people out sick recently.

@bimmy-lee gave it to my mom, since she's the one always making notes and stuff.

I may make another one once I get more paper. Gotta leave some for the printer.

I have a box of lucky charms that would be perfect for a larger book.

@bimmy-lee
I forgot to ask someone to take photo of me standing on the Sonic standee. 😅
I will check other cinema in different mall tomorrow to see if Sonic movie 2020 already released in Indonesia.

@NintendoByNature - That stinks. Hope you two round into form over the next few days and get to see the movie. Whatever my daughter brings home from school tends to rip through the whole house, maybe one adult gets spared, but these bugs are pretty efficient.

@Eel - You can’t go wrong doing something nice for mom. She can’t put any inappropriate images in there as an act of protest against those images existing though. It took my news stream 24 hours to catch up to your post on that topic.

@NotTelevision - Austin 3:16 says, “you just blew your nose”, and that’s the bottom liiiiiiine because Common Cold said so!

@Anti-Matter - I cant imagine you’ll be too far behind the western premiere. Hope you enjoy it when you do see it.

@NEStalgia Yeah we will see what happens. I think we discussed before that there is no rolling back the clock on automation.

I have a lot I could say on this topic, but for the sake of the Chit-Chat thread, I’ll stop myself there.

@Tyranexx Good thing that guy left the GS then. Depending on my mood I can be sort of awkward around strangers, but that’s decreased over the years because I’ve stopped overthinking social scererios. I think it might depend on how much training you have in disguising your feelings as well. Relationships and dealing with colleagues at work has taught me that emotions are fickle and usually pass, so it is probably better not to express them in extremes unless it’s necessary.

Seeing all those games you had for Switch, I understand your feeling. Those were some of the console’s biggest time sinks in your collection. I still haven’t touched Octopath Traveller, and remind myself to not buy too much because I have already have too many games. Most of my childhood I only had one game at a time, so being an adult with so many choices is quite different.

@bimmy-lee Haha. There’s still no cure for his Cough Dropkick and Sick day Stunner.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

You can't pause downloads on the Switch. Why aren't you able to?

Destiny, justice and retribrution will be mine.

The download process will be stopped if you turn your Switch OFFLINE.
And why does it bothering you ?

Anti-Matter

DannyBoi

@Anti-Matter What it the battery runs out during download? That would not be good.

Destiny, justice and retribrution will be mine.

NotTelevision

@DannyBoi You can definitely pause a download on the Switch. I do it all the time.

If your Switch ran out of battery during it a download it wouldn’t cancel it. Once it has battery again, it just continues where it left off.

@Tyranexx I honestly wouldn't be able to tell you if the fire brigade over here has hours of the night when they don't put on the sirens, but if the roads are quiet, I suppose lights may suffice. It's not like I'm actively noticing, seeing as I'm already used to it after having lived in this particular street for over 12 years, and I usually just half-awaken, and then roll over and go back to sleep...

Good point about the clearer skies. Must be the lack of smog...
Although on a good, cold night, I can also have clear skies above my balcony, so I do actually do some star (or moon) gazing every now and then.

@bimmy-lee Ah, I see. I already kinda figured it would be something like that, and you already mentioned that the parts to be glued would mostly be hidden, so then I guess it might be a good solution. And like I said: if it suits your purposes...

It's not my stuff anyways, so I'm just coming up with ideas in general, throwing some on the wall, to see which ones will stick or not.

@Eel Notebooks made with dental floss. Hm, you learn something new every day...
Sure makes them kind of multi-purpose, doesn't it?

@NintendoByNature Haha, congrats. And enjoy. Be sure to let me know your first impressions once you've play-tested it.

@NintendoByNature Let me know how the Sonic movie goes! I wanna see it mainly because I think Jim Carrey will make an awesome Robotnik.

Kudos on scoring MadWorld. I look forward to seeing impressions on that.

@bimmy-lee The view of the night sky is something I take for granted until I actually get away from it in my travels. While I like traveling, all that light in an urban metropolis definitely tends to absorb all the stars; only the brightest ones show up, and sometimes not even that depending on the sky itself and where you are.

I wouldn't say I'm an insane space nut, but I can point out a few constellations and enjoy watching meteor showers whenever they don't occur in the nosebleed hours of the morning. XD

@NotTelevision I think the main thing with that GS employee was that I essentially went through the store's whole refurb DS stock (I was there for about an hour). I was in the market for a new DS Lite, but at that point they were no longer available new. I brought the original New Super Mario Bros. and my brother's copy of Sonic Advance 3 to put those units through their paces. ...This'll be easier to explain from the beginning. I'll try to compress the explanation.

I started out with a used unit that I tried to get used to but just couldn't stand because the previous owner had been or lived with a heavy smoker (I have nothing personal against tobacco users, but I REALLY can't stand the smell; smell figures into my anxiety). Then I went with my first refurb, but the screw near the DS cart slot jutted out a bit and scratched a few cartridges, plus I learned there was also a sort of wax-y substance in the GBA slot. That unit was returned, and then I went through the whole refurb stock; one would have a lower touch screen that wouldn't accept touch input, one of the slots wouldn't read, a button wouldn't work, input lag, etc. I tried to be pleasant the whole time as I was putting the systems through the wringer. I finally settled on another used DS Lite that I still have; it's not perfect and is the metallic rose color, but it was at least well cared for.

I try to avoid picking up a lot of timesink games these days, but I make exceptions for games that are widely lauded (e.g. Skyrim or the aforementioned Octopath) or if they fall into a franchise I really like (Breath of the Wild). I'm trying to get some of the shorter games out of the way right now while I slowly chip away at Dragon Quest VIII.

@ThanosReXXX I've gotten used to the traffic noise at my current place, but I still habitually run a fan at night for some white noise. This wasn't something I did before moving to where I'm currently at, but it has definitely helped me sleep.

The clearer skies are at least partially due to the lack of smog I'd think, but a big factor (at least here) are the lights. It's almost like the street lamps are holding a long-distance competition with the stars. Though if they were close together, the stars would definitely win. XD

@bimmy-lee now that just made me imagine my mom having her own {journal of bad things} with detailed drawings and ominous notes. Perfect to leave in the basement of the creepy cabin we have in the woods.

I wish we had a creepy cabin in the woods

@ThanosReXXX the girl that makes the videos always uses waxed craft thread, but apparently dental floss is the easiest replacement material.

@gcunit - It’s not a great sensation. You can pump away, but nothing is going to come out after a certain point in time, or what does come out wasn’t even worth all the excess pumping it took to get there. The caulk that is.

@ThanosReXXX - Yeah, I was talking about a ridiculously specific application that probably still doesn’t make total sense. It would if I could just show you in person. I appreciate the help at any rate, and even if I can’t use it for that specific purpose, I’m still glad to be with glue gun. My life feels slightly more complete.

@NintendoByNature - Brutal, I feel bad for you in the dad department being sick on recital day. Hopefully you can rest up a little beforehand and let it rip right through you. Good luck dude, hope you feel better.

@Tyranexx - Yep, when you get out away from urban areas here in the flatlands, the sky gets so big and starry that it starts to feel like it’s wrapping around you. I can still get starry nights from time to time, but more often than not; it’s just an orangish glow.

@Eel - I think you’re on to a great movie premise. An otherwise loving mom has a dark secret: it’s her Journal of Inappropriate Things. When she buries the journal in the basement of her remote, creepy cabin in the woods that she inherited from a great uncle she never knew, her dark thoughts begin to play out in REAL LIFE!
