@NintendoByNature You'll have to come up with another name for your island instead of Margaritaville, seeing as Nintendo has already stated that you can use 10 letters max...

As for the graffiti: I have to explain that in previous outings, it was possible to go to other people's islands, and do some wrecking/pranking, or leaving messages on their message boards, such as "NintendoByNature was here" or something, which is kind of like a graffiti tag, in a way, but it's not like getting your spray cans out and tagging the whole village of another player. Unless of course, they've now added that.

What is funny, though, is entering other people's houses or gardens, and rearranging stuff and then quietly leaving...

@bimmy-lee Just imagine how much poo a kraken could release... Perish the thought...
But yes, I've seen that original movie, AND the reboot and the sequel. All of them several times. The actor in the original movie (Harry Hamlin, I believe?) is now more cemented in my brain because of that lawyer series that he was in, LA Law, if I'm not mistaken.

@Tyranexx All true. Black Friday is insane. People camping outside the evening before, fighting to get in the next day, and fighting over items, to a point where it sometimes actually results in casualties.

As for the Brie Larson article: you're right to stay away. As a champion for sensibility, I once again tried, against my own better judgment, to appeal to people's senses, but when people even start to defend idiotic and useless negative behavior, then it's pretty much done and dusted. A shame, really, but what can you do, right?

@ThanosReXXX lol. I tend to avoid shopping at Wal-Mart unless it's a necessity these days. And thats even without any virus' going around. But for games i usually go there for the discount. 😉

This is a record of my ongoing quest to secure a fresh batch of sanitary paper during the Corona virus epidemic...

As I made my way to the nearest supply port, I wondered how it would go, considering the previous four unsuccessful runs. If anything, the various people that I came across on the way, carrying only one bundle under their arms, made me wonder even more if I would ever be able to get my hands on some, seeing as all over the media, it showed people hauling four or five bundles/packages at a time, so if they now carried only one coming from my own local supply point, would that mean that supplies were at an end AGAIN?

Anxiously, I made my way to the supply point, also known as "super market" to the local inhabitants. Anxiety continued, as it was impossible to see the toilet paper shelves from the entry way, so I had to make my zig-zagging way through several aisles, and after three turns, I then FINALLY arrived at my point of destination.

Somewhat hesitant, already semi-annoyed at possibly being disappointed again, I hesitated a bit at the corner, but ultimately, I decided to bite the bullet, and I stepped into the aisle...

And lo and behold: I was greeted by an ENTIRE wall of fresh, new, wonderful batches of 4-layer toilet paper.
I felt relief well up inside, as I quickly grabbed a package, afraid that if I didn't actually do that now, the infamous hoarders would somehow still manage to beat me to it.

Firmly grabbing it under my arm, to prevent anyone from ripping it from my hands, I cautiously made my way back to headquarters, smiling a gleeful smile at the completion of a successful mission, that took me far longer than it was supposed to take.

Either way, now once again stocked with ample supply, I am safe in the knowledge that I won't have to make more visits to the supply point than normally necessary, so I won't be overly exposed to possible infection.

Good news everyone. My dad came back from his solo vacation to Canada (we thought he deserved some “me” time), and he bought me Animal Cr- Pokémon Mystery Dungeon DX! And that craft Yoshi game.

All Canadian and fancy~

Also salmon jerky and various forms of maple syrup.

@NintendoByNature Hm, I'm sensing some residual parental issues there. Maybe from past Christmas or birthday related experiences?

@ThanosReXXX lol he never knew what I liked really. Actually none of my family did. I usually got random games at Christmas and birthdays. Sometimes it paid off and sometimes it didnt haha

I skipped an afternoon Link's Awakening session and dug right into my home office reorganization. As always, it took longer than I thought it would, but that project is FINALLY done for the time being. Everything is now sorted into a proper folder, there's less paper clutter in my closet off the office (which shouldn't have built up as much as it did), and my shredder is nice and full after being fed half of the afternoon.

Then I did some other adulting in the forms of bills and a certain census. I am now going about my more relaxed internet rounds.

@bimmy-lee I visit NL on mobile 80-90% of the time and typically on breaks during (normal) work hours, so there are definitely some long gaps now and again on my longer posts. XD It's why I'm trying to step back from longer ones unless I'm using something with a legit keyboard like my laptop right now.

@ThanosReXXX I don't even see the sense in all the fighting that you see in Black Friday videos. I don't see the appeal of having to wrestle crowds for some cheap doorbuster item that Aunt Edna will forget about next year anyway. All to save a few bucks. It's amazing what adrenaline coupled with greed will do to a person. It sounds like an exhausting, not-fun time that can be easily avoided by keeping an eye out for deals online and elsewhere. Heck, most of the time the deals run all day, so there's no sense in most cases to camp out in front of a store and stand in line for hours.

I applaud your described effort in the latest Brie Larson article, but I'm not touching that one with a five hundred foot pole, thanks.

Congrats on your successful bathroom tissue supply run! Hopefully my grocery run in a few days is as successful....

@NintendoByNature My siblings and I had that problem. My parents (Read: Mom; dad isn't much of a gift shopper) were normally pretty good about it, but some of the gifts from relatives ranged from pretty decent to just plain bad. My copy of Mega Man Battle Network 3: White was originally a random B-day gift my brother got from an aunt; he wasn't interested in it, and I ended up with it since I liked the show based off of the games. Then there was the lucky mess-up where my grandma got me the original New Super Mario Bros. on the DS.

Then there were the not-so-great games we ended up with....The worst I can remember were my brother's copies of Chicken Run (GBC) and Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing on PC, a couple of DS shovelware games my sister had (though she bought one or two of them...unfortunately), and Pokemon Dash. I'm ashamed to say that I did request the last game.

Yesterday, i learned one word from Dragon Quest Builders 2 PS4.
The word was Night Soil.
And what is Night Soil ?
Night Soil = Human's Poo. What was formerly food, now found piled in pots

@Tyranexx skipping LA for adulting?! I feel like we barely know you anymore 😉. Yea I think i recall you talking about that ds Mario bros copy. I had a good time with it earlier this year. But yea, It's always a pot luck with my family. I think one of the better gifts was from my grandparents on a Christmas, which really surprised me considering they were pretty old at the time. I received shinobi 3 for genesis. Knew nothing about it since i was only about 7 or 8, Maybe 9. But I saw ninjas and i was immediately sold. Ended up being one of my favorite genesis games. I think an aunt bought me tmnt2 for a bday at like 4 or 5 which also ended up being a favorite. So it wasn't always bad, I guess.

@NintendoByNature Nothing wrong with ninjas! Be they human or mutagenic, pizza-loving turtles.

The home office reorganization project (everything ranging from bills, account statements, tax returns, to various cables and old PC games) had been planned for some time. I've been putting it off since the turn of the year and decided to get it over with since I didn't have a lot going on this weekend. Not that my weekends after this one are booked for awhile or anything. I won't be doing any more adulting today. I don't think my sanity can take it. I think I've earned an extended LA session and some reading time.

@Tyranexx there ya go. Good for you. Forgot to ask. Isn't big rigs that horrible buggy mess? I think avgn did a video on it and it's pretty hilarious.

NintendoByNature

Tyranexx

@NintendoByNature Yep, it's that horribly buggy mess of a game that was developed on a REALLY low budget. I'm assuming a relative found it in a bargain bin and decided my brother would enjoy it. He did actually play the game on and off for awhile and liked it; he likes anything to do with trucks. I doubt he still has it. If he does, we need to find a way to install it just for the LOL factor.

Covid-19 Pandemic caused the increase of imported stuff prices due to high USD exchange rate.
I got message from my game shop owner if ACNH was cost Rp 850,000. It was Rp 150,000 more expensive than my expectation. 😩
I have rescheduled my game shopping time for April 2020.
I will consider old games i haven't own yet from Tokopedia with cheaper price, avoid to order from Ebay or playasia at the moment.
Curse you, Covid-19 !! 🤬
