@Heavyarms55 Probably not. I haven't added anyone because I'm not eager for people to see my gameplay times EDIT: I'm not proud of the hours It's ironic that I don't add people I like on NL. haha
@bimmy-lee Have you figured out how the online works? I assumed that people who are my Switch friends and are currently playing the game would appear on the Nook Phone app in the game. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. 🤔
@Heavyarms55 Well, as the old saying goes: "I'll see you when I get there"...
@Tyranexx Well, that particular book was under 10 bucks, I believe, so that's hardly going to break the bank.
Go ahead, you deserve it...
@bimmy-lee What's up with this whole Nestor thing anyway? Far as I'm concerned, you're still a spring chicken.
I mean: if you're a Nestor, then what would that make me? An Ancient One?
@Tyranexx - Dog? Oh, KK Slider, I almost forgot, thanks. And I would have gotten away with it too easy rider, if it wasn’t for those meddling kids, and a dog named... Kayyy Kayyyy Sliderrrr!
@NintendoByNature - Absolutely dude, when in Rome. When you drive 3.5 hours to eat a sandwich under the guise that you’re making the drive for a fishing trip, you need to eat so many of the sandwiches that you feel ill and grossed out with yourself. I used to do Eerie charters with my dad, and there was a place we would stop for breakfast every time that had ridiculous biscuits and gravy, and I looked forward to that as much or more so than the charter.
@NotTelevision - I played with Hobbit and NBN two nights ago. I think we have to play together online before we can become best friends and appear in our Nook phone apps. It’s pretty cool though because after that, we can live message each other whenever we’re playing, even when we’re on our own islands. Hobbit and I were cracking jokes together last night from our own islands. We can then also send postcards to each other with gifts.
@ThanosReXXX - I made that username back when I first set up my Wii. This was an era before every single bit of information from the history of mankind was on the internet, and also a time before I double checked everything on Google. So Nestor is a misspelling of Nester from the old Howard and Nester comic strips in Nintendo Power. My Wii is red, and Nester had red hair, and I loved that strip and the magazine; so it made sense, if I had spelled it correctly. In the arcades, I was DOG, and then MastrKillr after that, but I didn’t think that handle was appropriate for a Nintendo console, so Red Nestor was born. Before I went with that name, I tried Black Adder, but it was already taken.
@Anti-Matter - You were my second Switch friend, and one of only two friends I had for well over a year. Wilton was my first friend by a couple days, but I’ve never been able to play with either of you due to time differences.
@NintendoByNature We have a place called Vandy’s that has awesome biscuits and gravy. It’s in a weird spot in town, and you can only get to it via alleyway. It’s drive thru only, so it’s like you’re conducting a shady breakfast transaction. So yum. @bimmy-lee Man, the postcards. I was so annoyed because I wrote out that whole Blathers one only to find out at the end that I couldn’t gift that Mole Cricket.

@bimmy-lee Aha, I see. Well, that's definitely an interesting "origin" story, if anything.
But erm... double-checking everything on Google? Anxious (or suspicious) much?

@NintendoByNature - B&G is a top five food for me, and I could eat it every day for breakfast for the rest of my life. I would give up all other breakfast food if it meant unlimited B&G. My wife makes a homemade batch on Christmas morning, and it’s my favorite breakfast of the year. It’s so magical. I think I have a photo on IG from a few years ago of my kids on Christmas morning with gravy smeared all over their faces.
@HobbitGamer - Ooh, an alley swap. That adds a whole layer of adventure to your breakfast. Do you work the exchange while slowly creeping by in your car without actually stopping so you don’t draw attention? Your impression of Blathers was amazing. If I didn’t see the postcard came from HobbitHole, I would have assumed it came from him directly.
@ThanosReXXX - Haha, well, I guess I don’t double check everything, but I would now for a decision like that. I can probably change it, but it’s been so long that it’s grown on me. I didn’t even realize I misspelled it until years later when I acquired some NES era NP magazines. When I was a kid, I read my issues of that magazine so many times in a month that they nearly disintegrated. My subscription was my birthday gift for years. It was an incredible feeling when they showed up, all perfect and glossy. I loved seeing my name on the address label, haha!
@NintendoByNature Oh gosh, definitely. And with a nice glass of milk.... Goodbye Oreo cookies!
@NotTelevision Received your friend request and added you. Your username was thankfully obvious, but I also noticed you discussing that in previous pages.
@ThanosReXXX I'm not worried about breaking the bank; I'm just concerned that it'll sit around for ages before I finally get to it. XD I went a bit nuts with picking up manga last year since I'm trying to get into it again....
@bimmy-lee PERFECT! 8D That K.K. Slider dude is THE dog!
Who the heck eats gravy that early in the morning? Yuck...
And with biscuits? Aren't those supposed to be eaten with tea or coffee? Or are we talking about things like sea biscuit here?
Personally, I'm all used to the Western-European sweet breakfast, meaning breads/sliced bread and things like rolls or croissants with marmalade, jelly, peanut butter, Nutella, honey, syrup, chocolate sprinkles, and any other kind of sweet sandwich spreads. One of the few exceptions in Western Europe may be the British, what with their bacon, beans and fatty sausage breakfast. I shudder to think of having to force down something so greasy and heavy on a sober stomach while still being barely awake.
The heartiest thing we eat over here, is a plain omelette/scrambled eggs or a boiled egg, and with Easter coming up, boiled eggs will definitely be on the menu, but they will be combined with powder-sugared raisin bread filled with almond spice and with a good layer of full-cream butter (dairy butter) on top of each slice, and then there'll also be a variety of sweet spreads to put on a diverse selection of small breads and croissants fresh from the oven.
And to be able to flush that all down, we'll have some freshly squeezed orange juice, and there'll be tea and coffee, of course, as with any regular breakfast...
@bimmy-lee That sounds like a nice story indeed. And I can definitely relate to that sentiment of receiving a monthly game magazine. I was subscribed to several Amiga magazines at first, and later on, I became a member of N64 Magazine and Cube Magazine, which had a free video and Action Replay disc each month.
After that, I simply bought loose magazines in stores for a range of consoles, because there were SO many of them, and not all of them were always equally interesting. I still have stacks of Xbox 360 magazines, all with demo or trailer discs, and quite a few Edge and original Nintendo magazines.
@Tyranexx Ah, okay. Fair enough. At least now I know whether you bought it or not.
On a side note: I'll send you a request as well. You'll instantly know it's me, because the name's the same, save for one missing X, thanks to Nintendo's archaic 10 letter name limit...

@hobbitgamer a drive thru biscuiting sounds right up my alley lol @ThanosReXXX you clearly haven't had American biscuits and gravy 😉 @bimmy-lee dude......ill need that recipe. I've never attempted it. An ex gf's grandmother used to always make it for me homemade since she knew i loved it. It was the hardest part of the breakup lol @Tyranexx as ive gotten older i cant drink much milk anymore. It hurts my stomach. So my whole family makes fun of me when i say "cant wait for a fresh batch of cookies and a tall glass of cold water" hahah
@NintendoByNature Well, I'll try almost anything once, but I'm not really partial to hearty foods when I just got out of bed or when it's early in the morning, no matter how good it tastes...
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
@ThanosReXXX that's understandable..i barely eat breakfast or big breakfast when I do. But when I actually want to sit down and have a good meal, it needs to be a monster breakfast. They're buttery flaky biscuits with a sausage cream gravy poored on top. It's truly something you need to take the rest of the day off for, or be close to the bathroom 😉
@NintendoByNature I'm not quite sure if that sounds really enticing...
As many will know, I've mostly worked from home nowadays, as an independent contractor, but when I still worked in an office, breakfast was mostly two slices of full grain bread, with any of the aforementioned sweet spreads on top, and a mug of tea. Something that I could finish in under 15 minutes, so that I didn't need to spend too much time eating, and so I didn't have to get up too early. And it was also meant as something to sustain me until the first coffee break, which at the office where I used to work, was usually around 10am, and then I'd have another sandwich or two, from a lunch box that I'd prepare at home each day.
And then around lunch time, I'd have another two sandwiches, and a piece of fruit, or sometimes, we'd just go and buy some fresh breads with whatever on them, or we'd order in from a catering service, but not too often, because the bill for that always came in at the end of the month. And every once in a while, we'd just go to the local McDrive, for a burger and fries, but that too, not too often.

@ThanosReXXX It depends on which side of the Atlantic you’re on. In the US, biscuits are a kind of quick bread similar to a scone but in the UK biscuits are what people in the US would call “cookies” (I think that has Dutch origin). Crisp, cracker, and chip also have similar problem.
@bimmy-lee Cool. I felt like an old man trying to figure out how a DVD remote worked, for a while at least. I opened up the gates and some homeless stragglers got by me and stole the morning paper.
@Tyranexx Yeah that’s Mii alright. Pleased to meet you Landroid 🤝.
