@ThanosReXXX Yep, my island name was pretty much my finger at Nintendo for a 10 char limit, haha.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try that out. I've done it a few times at the office when I had a busy time ahead, and I think this is pretty much the same. I'm fortunate enough to have a critical administrative position that's directly tied to revenue stream, but all the mess still takes a bit of my focus I'm thinking.
I have been really good about making sure I don't slouch, and getting up once in awhile. I've got my TV monitor to the side of my desk, so I can glance at the scenery outside too. I've set time to take lunch and eat it outside my office room.

@Tyranexx haha, Cubans without a doubt. Or paninis of any kind. Very simple, you could have 5 panini presses in a food truck with a small flat top grill for heating food up. I've already thought this out. Its a dream of mine to own a restaurant or food truck
@Tyranexx Yeah, Other M really isn't that bad either. It's just that what annoys most people, is the cut scenes with the uber-sensitive, and decidedly damsel in distress atmosphere exuding Samus, which is not at all what she is supposed to be. I personally also didn't really like that, but the game in and of itself, outside of the in my opinion somewhat cumbersome control switches every now and then, is pretty much okay in my book.
@HobbitGamer You're welcome. And one more thing I forgot, even though it kind of speaks for itself: keep all the goals you set for yourself as realistic as possible. Just because you've now found that you've been able to do more in less time for once, doesn't mean you'll get those results every day, so aim level or a bit higher, but never exaggerate, or you'll end up having a bad day even without co-workers bothering you in person...
@HobbitGamer I've been good about taking a break for a few minutes every hour or so and make sure most of my lunch is spent far away from any screens. I've been reading lately to decompress. Some exercise too when I can sneak out long enough.
@NintendoByNature Sounds like a delicious dream! I'm definitely on board. If AC does ever have a customizable food truck option (if it doesn't already), you should implement it on your island. It isn't an amazinc deserted island experience without some awesome food!
@ThanosReXXX Yep, the plot is probably the main problem that I have with the game, though I wouldn't say it was complete garbage either. PTSD Samus would have probably made sense in an earlier game in the Metroid chronology when she encounters Ridley for the first time. I also wish they had expanded more on some characters, like Anthony. I liked a lot of the music (the main Metroid theme in Other M is one of my favorite versions) and gameplay elements.

@Tyranexx - He certainly is. He could teach Timmy and Tommy a bit better though. They’re not gonna reach Tom’s status in the business world if they keep paying me for weeds.
@HobbitGamer - My reply to you in the star wand article was my 1,000th comment! Back when I worked, I worked from home quite a bit. I hated it. It took me twice as long to do everything compared to when I was in the office. For me, there’s something motivating to do my work from a spot I want to leave.
@NintendoByNature - A good friend of mine started a food truck, and it was so slamming that he was able to open a real restaurant, which was also so slamming that he worked 80-100 hour weeks. It burned him out to the point that he sold it after a couple years. Best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had, and I lived in Philly for a couple years and ate them everywhere I went (he was from south Philly, but we were all living in Portland, which has a huge food truck scene).
@bimmy-lee i think you told me about your buddy before and his cheese steak place. Now i want a cheese steak! Yea I hear chefs have a high suicide rate from stress. Not to put a damper on the thread,but I looked into it when i was taking culinary classes in high school..
I just love cooking and watching people eat my food, and hopefully enjoying it. Which is why I've always wanted to open up a restaurant. It must be the Greek in me that wants to have a restaurant 😜
@NintendoByNature - Ah, Dang, I hate repeating myself. It’s hard to keep track here, unlike in real life. My friend is the same way. He made outrageous meals for big groups of us, and then just watched everyone eat, grinning like a maniac. It made him so happy. No doubt I’d order pretty much any meal you’ve mentioned here from the NBN Diner. It’s a hard, hard way to make a dollar though. Part of his frustration was that he merely wanted to make food for people to buy and eat, but the business side of owning a restaurant plunged him underwater when he moved his business to a brick and mortar store and had actual employees.
@bimmy-lee ah no worries bim.. I wasn't callin you out lol. I repeat myself here countless times I'm sure. My brain is jumbled beyond belief, so I cant help it. The being stuck indoors gets the best of me.
Yea i can see that. A big passion for him burned out due to everything that comes with it. That's unfortunate.
@NintendoByNature - Haha, I know you weren’t calling me out, but I have a friend in his early 60s who’s an all time repeater guy, and it’s made me extra cautious about repeating myself. I’ve known him most of my life, and I have every one of his stories memorized. Whenever he launches into one, my toes curl so hard it feels like they’re gonna break. I don’t want to dump water on your dream either because I’m sure you’re more than capable. The happy ending of his story is that he cooks for his wife and kid, and everyone is happy.
@bimmy-lee well there ya go..all is well that ends well. I'm thinking of Cubans this weekend i think, now. I almost always make them after I throw a pork roast in the crock pot. Left overs make for a good cuban.
Does anyone know if the definitely not the Easter bunny is hiding definitely not Easter eggs every day for the duration of the spring bunny event in AC, or are the hidden eggs a one time shot? I’m asking because I didn’t get to play with my kids today, and I don’t want to find eggs without them tonight if it’s a one time thing.
@NintendoByNature - I crush Cuban sammies. Pork and ham? Two pig products in one sandwich?!? It’s as if someone had me in mind when they created that one. If only they could have worked bacon into the sandwich as well! I’ve never made them at home, but they’re an insta order when I’m out to eat.
Yesterday (1 April 2020) was my 2nd Anniversary of my PS4 Slim since i have bought on 1 April 2018. 😀
And i played Dragon Quest Builders 2 PS4 to celebrate.

Until this morning suddenly i remembered if ARMS Online event has been already started this April 2020. 😮
I will play ARMS tonight after working time.
@bimmy-lee yea i don't know about the eggs but I caught some myself today. I haven't had a chance to play with the kids yet today but maybe tonight or tomorrow I'll try with them
Yea man, pork and ham. It's really all you need, minus the bacon like you said. Add in the pickles, yellow mustard, and swiss. All of that on a good loaf of bread, crusted to perfection. My mouth is watering.
When we go up north to Wisconsin for fishing usually every year, we go to this bar and grill called 'critters'. No I'm not joking. Wait for it........its also a bait shop and ammo store haha. But it's a pretty solid place to grab some beer and a Sammie. The reason I bring it up, is because every time im there, I get 1 thing and 1 thing only. The Whole Hog Sandwich. A huge pork chop(broiled or fried), sliced Ham, and bacon on a solid burger bun. My dad still tells the only reason I want to drive 3.5 hours up north is for that sandwich, and not the fishing lol.
@NintendoByNature Now I want to see a whole AC island full of food trucks. Some for each type of food truck food you can imagine. Even some of the dodgy fair fare. XD
@bimmy-lee They're probably making some obscene profits behind the scenes with those weeds by crafting rare, fashionable objects and selling them to the highest bidder off the island. All behind Tom's nose. Maybe they'll overthrow him one day....
That or they feel sorry that their dad makes the player pay an obscene amount of Bells.

@NintendoByNature I've heard of that. I'm still trying to figure out who'd eat that unhealthy concoction. XD (I'd try it, but would definitely share it lol) I think the weirdest fair food I've had is pizza on a stick. It was good, but not worth the price lol.
But yep, ALL the food trucks! From the reasonable to the weird.

@Tyranexx Yeah, the music was good too, so all in all, besides the obvious cringey parts, it wasn't nearly as bad as some make it out to be.
On a side note: saw you mentioning reading, and it suddenly reminded me of that Greek mythology book that I recommended to you some time ago. Did you get that or not? I don't remember, but what I do know, is that it is perfect reading material for obligatory staying at home days...
@Heavyarms55 Noted. I will add you, once I get the game. But as mentioned, that's going to take at least another month, probably two. I'll first have to wait and see if I'll have any surplus budget left at the end of May, and if not, or only a little, then that's definitely not going towards any new game purchases.
