The last two days ive done some real life animal crossing. Pulled out tons of dead bushes and plants, Weeds, branches, all sorts of stuff. Ended up planting flowers and sunflowers. My body is done after 12 leaf bags filled with misc. Stuff. Now hopefully my flowers start getting bigger by tomorrow and get some nook miles for it.

@NintendoByNature - Nice, I’ll trade some nugs for a peach. I should be on later. I picked up Fight N Rage in the sale, and I want some more of that tonight as well. It’s deeeelightful. Hilarious that you’re thinking about AC while working in the yard. The same thing was happening to me a couple days ago. My kids dug up some kind of chrysalis or cocoon type thing with a moving bug inside, and I told them to put it in their pockets until we swing past the museum so Blathers can identify it.

Edit - Did you enjoy night one of Mania?

@ThanosReXXX - The last eBay purchase I made was a set of the original Garbage Pail Kids posters, so it’s not beyond me at all. It is a version of UNO. It basically is UNO with the variation that you could use the single Joker in the deck not only as a wild card during play, but you could also end the game with it; accepting points on your own behalf, but potentially also trapping your opponents with more cards in their hands. It was a joy to look at some of the cards again. It would be an impulse buy for me at a junk shop if it was sub $20 and included the tray for the deck and discard pile.

@NintendoByNature Same here. Did lots of yard work yesterday. Now I’m playing Cooking Mama; CoViD World Tour. We’ll see how this rosemary and basil from my garden work with roasted potatoes and tilapia.
I’ll be on AC tonight. Y’all have to find my house. I moved it.

@bimmy-lee Yeah, that sounds about like what I would be willing to spend for it as well. Would mostly be a purchase for sentimental values only, after all, so I wouldn't be expecting to get a lot of mileage out of it.

You and your kids on the other hand, might very well have some more fun with it than I would with my mirror image...

@bimmy-lee haha thats funny. I bet they looked at you crosseyed. Yea we got tons of worms today. At least picked them up. We didn't keep any, and I'm kinda kicking myself for not because we saw A Ton.

I think I've eys fight n rage before. Or maybe raging justice. Or streets of red. Lol i cant remember. It's alot more fun playing beat em ups with a friend and my kids arent into it. Which is funny considering that's all I wanted to play as a kid.

The only one I'll be making an exception for day 1 is SoR4. Pretty excited for that and if I have to play alone i will.

Mania was sorta so-so. It wasn't as crazy with 0 people in the stands. Usually the crowd reactions and the wrestlers playing into it are part of the fun. And the final match was a 'boneyard match'. Taker( who's been a favorite of mine since I was about 4 or 5), and aj styles did a backyard brawl at night with some graves amongst them And a barn. To me, it was like a low budget, C- horror film cringe fest. Taker wasn't in his "personality" and talked quite a bit. I like my taker silent.

It was just a wierd recorded thing that disappointed me. But I'm still glad he was "at" wrestlemania. It's not the same without him. Tonight is a "fun house" something or other with bray wyatt( don't like him) and John cena( dont like him as a wrestler, but i do as an person/actor). Im sure that'll be even worse. But it's still decent to watch with nothing else on.

Ya I'll be on tonight for sure. Nuggs for a peach.

@ThanosReXXX - Faced with a solo UNO situation, there’s only one question I’d ask myself: WWAD? What would Anti do? As one of the world’s premiere solo multiplayer game players, he’d simply play all four hands against three other versions of himself, and one of those versions is a bird kickboxer. Problem solved. You could play Alfred E. Neuman UNO by yourself, for yourselves, and one of those selves can be a bird version of yourself with a six pack.

@NintendoByNature - Yeah, I’ve heard Taker is sort of playing himself these days. I was hoping they would try something cool with his match as far as editing and effects go since it’s pre taped (as is all of Mania), but it doesn’t sound like it. I know I’d be underwhelmed, but I’m still jealous I’m not watching it. It’s just a minor miracle that any sort of “live” event is transpiring, even without fans. Good ole carny rasslers, just trying to mildly entertain us for money during a pandemic. Now that you have the network, you can really catch up on some old wrestling. Whatever era you’re nostalgic for, it’s on there. Let me know if you’re ever looking for something to watch.

@bimmy-lee thanks dude. It's still worth watching. Not trying to poo-poo it. It just feels different.

Yea soon enough ill be catching up on all the oldies from the 90s and 00s. That's my favorite era. Next will have to be hell in a cell tho with taker and mankind. Best match of all time in my opinion.

I did some brush clearing early last month. I still need to remove part of a fallen tree in my bottom as I don't have the necessary means to do the rest of it on my own. I'd like to call a tree service to take care of both it and a couple of dead trees on my property, but under the circumstances, it'll be awhile. I also need to replant my spring flowers this fall, it seems. I had an ornery mole dig its way into my tire planter at one point last year, and that seems to have mixed around a lot of bulbs. Many of the ones that are coming up are almost on top of each other.

Annoying little punks. Where's a good cat when you need one....

@ThanosReXXX Haha, I can respect that! I'm typically not a huge eater in the mornings either. I do normally eat a light breakfast though; my stomach will try to digest itself around late morning otherwise.

Oh yes, GitHub is also a good place from which to pull some open source projects, extensions, little things to play around with, etc. I was trying to give a brief overview in layman's terms for the uninitiated. Or trying to, anyway. I'm still working on fine-tuning the transitions between "normal" and "code" speech. XD It's something I'm trying to become better about when communicating with our support team.

@ThanosReXXX Oh no it is not like that. The whole walls are covered in complete dressed corpses. There are corridors specifically for people of the same profession like doctors, lawyers etc. Even infants. People used to give their deceased to those catacombs because it was special for them. And their mummifying process is very interesting and long. I have not seen other place like that. Very morbid and disturbing. The last mummy to accept was of a 2 year old girl in 1922 that is preserved so good that people call it The Sleeping Beauty because you will not even know it is dead.

Sorry I got carried away

@Zuljaras where did you see all of this ?

@NintendoByNature This is exactly why, whenever I day dream about winning the lottery, my dream house doesn't have a traditional yard and the only plants I would have would be a few potted plants. My father took great care of his big yard - so much so that it was basically a second job for him. Hard pass, no interest in that!

My dream home would have only a small front yard with a porch, a rock "lawn" and a driveway. In the back yard I would have a patio and a pool and the rest of the limited space would be paved.

Strangely enough perhaps, in this dream scenario where I win the lottery and build my dream home, the home itself wouldn't be that big either - comparatively. It would be about the size of the home I grew up in 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms and a finished basement with a detached and finished 2.5 car garage. The basement would have a big living room area as my dedicated game room/home theater with a smaller room dedicated for building model kits and doubling as my laundry room. On the ground floor I'd have my master bedroom, a guest room and the 3rd bedroom being a gym with a sliding door leading our to my backyard/pool - which would be surrounded by a nice privacy fence. And a more ordinary living room and the kitchen on the ground floor as well.

In other words, you can probably tell I am bored right now.

For the moment, Japan is still planning on opening schools back up later this week. I expect that to change in at least part of the country sometime in the next day or two though. No idea if they'd expect us teachers to remain here or what in that case.

@Heavyarms55 I'm with you. I don't like yard work, but i do it because i have to. If i won the lotto I'd have gardeners doing all my yard work. Not because id be filthy rich, but because I have no clue what I'm doing and would rather pay someone lol.

Ohlala... Six Pack Ratchet from Ratchet & Clank Size Matters PSP ? 😛
I wanna buy that game. 😀

@NintendoByNature That kind of thing would be an option for a lottery win too. I don't hate all forms of yard work, I actually don't really mind mowing the lawn or watering. But I despise weeding and raking leaves and especially trimming bushes and hedges. Another part of a lottery win I always think I would do would be a massive present giving spree - and playing pranks on my friends and family. I'd hire a bunch of people to dress up as Imperial Stormtroopers, bribe my best friend's boss into playing along, as well as her brother, and then "attack" her place of employment and make it look like her brother "ratted her our as a rebel spy"

Also I'd probably pay off the debt and student loans for all my friends and family who still have any. And buy like everyone a new car. I'd set aside a planned amount of money to live comfortably the rest of my life and then go nuts buying things for my friends and family.

@Anti-Matter you've mentioned before that you have no interest in seeing scantily clad ladies in sexy clothing, and I think I can understand and respect that. Do you think you can understand others might not be interested in your preferences of muscular 6 pack abs men? I'm happy you found something you like! But the screen shot isn't really needed.

Hehe... Sorry. 😅
But that skin is official.
I have found that skin this morning while browsing on Google image.

@Anti-Matter That's fair and thanks for understanding.

On another note, all the comments you've made about Ratchet and Clank lately has really got me wanting to play it again. Maybe I'll dust off my PS3 if I get stuck in lockdown this month. (Japan is expected to declare an emergency today or tomorrow but it's unclear if it will be nationwide or just in the big cities)

I actually don't remember which one I have on PS3, but I know I have at least one.
