@Tyranexx Yeah, absolutely true, city lights are definitely also a factor. Kinda dumb that I forgot that, to be honest. Although over here, in the city itself, lights are pretty demure. Mostly yellow light lanterns, and in the streets we have steel cables spanned between buildings that also have yellow lanterns, and on the canals, they're now replacing the old lantern lights with LED rings, and they're spaced reasonably far apart, so that there's enough light to see, but not so much that it lights up the entire area.
@Eel Well, at least it'll smell fresh. What flavor did you use?
@bimmy-lee Hey, every man needs to have some kind of glue stored away for whatever purpose, that's just one of the facts of life. I always have multi-purpose kit in the house, as well as some instant-glue, for smaller things. Also got a silicone gun, for the bathroom and kitchen area.
@NotTelevision either the clock has to be forcibly/artificially rolled back on automation, or we need an active purge of 2/3 of Earth's population. One or the other. There's no status quo on this one. The only alternative is a dystopia previously only envisioned in scifi. The purge would be much more pleasant.
@Tyranexx I'll let you know about both Sonic, and Macworld. @thanosrexxx same with you. Once I get my mitts on it, ill give you my impressions @bimmy-Lee thanks. It comes in waves. Was good for the recital, but now it's hitting me like a ton of bricks.
@ThanosReXXX - Yeah, I have a nice little collection of different glues and tapes. You just never know what you might need. My strongest “guy” collection is the 20+ gallon buckets of paint I have stored, all of them in various stages from unopened to almost empty. I even have a five gallon bucket of flat white ceiling paint, multiple primers, and two boxes of spray paint cans. It’s really a sight to behold.
@Eel - Haha, that’s brilliant. To get into that million dollar idea stratosphere, we need to ensnare the kiddos in our demographic, they’re cash cows, so let’s also make it a learn to read movie/series/franchise.
I have 3 unopened Amiibo boxes (Kicks, Rover and Isabelle) and now i have 2 Isabelle Amiibo after i bought Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival Wii U game bundle. 😅
Btw, it wasn't bad at all to play Amiibo Festival by Solo play (i played alone) but i took control for All players since i have some Amiibo, so whoever win will quickly unlock the Happy Points. 😏
@NintendoByNature You better get well first. We'll be patiently waiting for that first impression, since none of us are going anywhere anyways. But it's weekend, so let's enjoy that first, before it's gone again...
@bimmy-lee That's quite the collection. You must have a garage or storage area to put all that and your other tools. I don't have that in my apartment. Just got the aforementioned (mini-)collection of glue, a bucket of plaster and a toolbox, and that's about it. Whenever I'm in need of other things, like power tools or whatever, there's always someone in my family or circle of friends that can help me out, so there's really no need to store anything myself, so the bare necessities will suffice.
I spent nearly all of my afternoon driving to/from/attending a baby shower for a cousin about an hour away. I volunteered to drive since it was a shorter distance from my house compared to the rest of my caravan, plus I knew the way for the most part; I also hauled my grandma, sister, and mom. The baby shower itself was good - the food and ESPECIALLY the cupcakes were all heavenly - but I only go to the things out of love. Trust me guys, you're really not missing much. Same goes for bridal showers. To the credit of this one, there were plenty of younger kids to make faces/smile/interact with, plus they didn't do a lot of the overdone games at this one. The most painful part was the introduction that you have to sit through.
@bimmy-lee It's like a nice, big, cozy, starry blanket. That idea kind of reminds me of how Timon describes the sky in The Lion King. Though Pumbaa was more on point with his thinking. XD As a kid, I wondered how the sky didn't just swallow us whole; in a sense, it kinda does.
@ThanosReXXX That'd be a sight I'd like to see. Some of the older city districts I've been to over here (not many, but a few) have more demure lighting as well; it's mostly the bustling modern centers that try to burn your retinas into oblivion.
@NintendoByNature Thanks! Though I think you meant MadWorld up there; I admittedly have very little interest in an Apple store knockoff.
Hope you get to feeling better. I think I'm finally about over the sinus crap I was dealing with.
@NintendoByNature Probably a typo. I'm more apt to make them when I visit the site on my phone. Some of that is because autocorrect can be a huge troll. XD It corrects half of my contractions with I (I am, I will, etc.) to just I for some infuriating reason.

it's always weird to me that people on the internet are still teenagers.
Like I just assume everyone I talk to online is in their 20s, 30s at most. That's obviously not true but that's my automatic assumption. Not entirely sure why, maybe because when I first went on internet forums, I was a teenager and I knew a lot of people on those forums were teenagers. But internet forums are kinda outdated nowadays. And by outdated, I mean replaced by vastly worst things, but y'know...
Like is that a thing, that you just assume that people online are largely similar to you until proven otherwise?
Well, be proud of belonging to a community where little 13 year old Timmy (who is actually 8 and lied to create his account) can talk with old grandma Gertrude about how much her gaming setup sucks.
@kkslider5552000 : More or less. We know almost nothing about each other, and only the minority disclose their social media accounts for the snoopy busybody aunties among us.
I do occasionally check the nationalities of users if they have a query and their nationality may be of relevance. It also helps provide some context if one tends to communicate in a way uncommon to native English speakers and/or if they possess odd sensitivities.
@Tyranexx Thanks for giving me the scoop. I don’t think anyone expects a used console to be “like new” but there should be a standard for what is acceptable. I would’ve done the same thing. It is a portable console after all, and not just a distant box under your TV.
@NEStalgia I wouldn’t expect things to ever be quite the same again, but I’m not sure about a Sci-fi dystopian purge either. I think things generally reach a breaking point and gets leveled out through popular dissent before that could happen. Not saying some individuals realities aren’t already dysfunctional, but there is only so much a general populace can take before the major problems become too much to bear. Change is just a slow historical process.
