@NintendoByNature Ah, don't get me wrong: it's not like I actually like or prefer Swedish meat balls, I was just wondering. I also rather make my own, instead of those prefabs...
As for those discounts: well... I kinda spent a lot of money today already. I was kinda lucky to have still managed to grab a reasonable final bonus a couple of months ago, which was now finally transferred to my bank account, and from that, I bought some necessary stuff, and some more not so necessary stuff, some of which I will be uploading pictures from, when it all arrives on my doorstep...
And I still have to get Animal Crossing as well, and one or two other triple A games, about which I'm currently still not sure which one to go for. I actually want them all, but I don't want to go overboard. Spent a couple of hundred already today, and seeing as this will be my last bonus EVER, as an independent contractor, I'd better keep some semblance of responsibility, especially in these "no work" times...

@BruceCM Hm, odd. I actually have seen that movie, albeit a LONG time ago, so I didn't even remember anymore that there was also a dr. Weir in that one. I think I'd still prefer this one, though:

@NintendoByNature So... I took a peek after all, but I really didn't see all that much of interest. And 49.99 for Xenoblade Chronicles Deluxe Edition isn't exactly my idea of cheap. I usually pick up deals for anything below 30 bucks, but for triple A and/or first party titles, I only check out physical editions, so I never look at digital downloads for those, let alone for discounts, because even that can't sway me from wanting to have them in physical form.
I will check out if the Touryst is still cheap, though, because that one was already on my list. Other than that, maybe Night Trap, for the novelty value, depending on if the prices for both games are similarly cheap in the EU store, otherwise it's a no on both counts.
On a side note: if you feel a desperate need to be Rick-rolled, I'd be more than willing to post a sneaky link to a video...
@ThanosReXXX understood. A newly released triple A( although remaster) with additional content at 49.99 at launch is a deal to me at least. But i get what you're saying. If you watch the topic, youll see good deals roll thru often that might grab your attention. Night trap was recently on sale in NA.. but I didn't grab it. Cosmic star heroine is on sale for like 1.49 and i had a great time with it. It's digital though.
As for being Rick rolled, I ended up rolling my friend since it crossed my mind. He loved it lol
@NintendoByNature Well, games like Cosmic Star Heroine are ONLY available in digital form, most of the time, and they are indies, so for those, I make exceptions. I've got plenty of them already.
And it's not like I don't think that the discounts aren't real deals, it's just that it's irrelevant to me, because discount or not, I'll never get big titles in digital form anyway, because of my preference for physical. Basically, the rule is: if I want a game, and it's available in physical form, then that takes precedence over ANY and all other things, discounts included. I'll gladly pay the additional cost, in exchange for all the added benefits.
On a side note: I actually do keep tabs of that thread, and have even contributed to it a while back, but usually, there's not much in there that I'm interested in, and I've already added tons of games to my wish list on the Switch eShop, so if they go on a discount, I'll get notified anyway. But thanks for the tip, regardless.
@ThanosReXXX - I looked him up on Billboard just for fun, and obviously AP was a smash number one hit, and they had Vincent peaking at 12. I also saw it was a top 10 hit by other measurables and charts. That’s just the US. I’ve never put much stock into that sort of thing anyway. I don’t think “one hit wonder” is a definable term, especially across continents.
@ThanosReXXX got it and I agree. I usually get physical when i can, unless the discount is that aggressive, I'll just go digital. I recently grabbed nba playgrounds 2 for $7.50. I've seen physical copies for $20 here and there.
As for the Amason XC:DE listing, that's in fact physical, So I cant pass that up.
You lot have certainly been busy in this thread today. It moved over four pages since I last checked yesterday! XD Worked today and then did some chores and an errand. And, of course, some of Spotlight Hour in PoGo.
@Heavyarms55 Speaking of green shinies....I landed not one, but TWO shiny Bronzor during Spotlight Hour a little while ago. XD I like the look of them, and I may evolve one unless shiny Bronzong looks like garbage. Normally my shiny luck outside of Cday is pretty bad.
But yeah, I agree that some shinies don't look that great and could use some better recolors. I'm not too fond of puke green Teddiursa for example. I'm kinda glad I've missed out on that one so far.
@BruceCM Lol, how'd you know I like that song? XD Very appropriate where Tennessee is mentioned.
@ThanosReXXX Well, the US IS a large country. Depending on your interests, you can spend a lot of time sightseeing. I've been to quite a few states, but I have no experience at all with the Northeast, Southeast, and parts of the Southwest for that matter.
I've always pictured Bimmy as their caricature, NBN as Toon Link, and you in the certain likeness of a Mad Titan.
@bimmy-lee Well, there you go: no one hit wonder, then. And now that you know this for a fact, it's your civic duty to pick up and carry the torch of knowledge, and cure the collective American memory by spreading the wisdom across the land, lest poor mr. McLean and his heirs will remain forever plagued by this affront of a misunderstanding...
And why don't you put much stock in hit lists? It is after all related to sales and performance of artists, so it's not like it's some false kind of listing. They have to make those miles, to get to those top tens and onward, that doesn't just happen all by itself. Nowadays, with streams going up into the millions, it has become somewhat skewed and/or different, but those results and ratings from back in the day, do most definitely count as factual achievements.
As for ACTUAL one hit wonders: trust me, they DO exist, and all across the world. It's simply what I described before. I'll come up with a couple of examples later tomorrow, because right now, it's almost 3am over here, so time to call it a night. Laterrrrr!!!

@Tyranexx Well, by now, I've kind of learned how to make the same kind of scowl as my current avatar, and in my mind, I can snap unwanted individuals away, but luckily, my chin still doesn't look like a nut... ahem, anyway, moving on...
As for the sight-seeing: and that is EXACTLY why I won't be doing much of that, at least it all depends on how much time I'll be able to spend. For the meet with bimmy, NBN and any others that might wish to join, I wouldn't want to set some kind of fixed time slot. I'd like it to be organic, so I'd prefer to just let that go how it goes. Perhaps take a hotel/motel near wherever we meet, and then continue on the next day or whatever. But that's still some time away.
I do also want to do some state-hopping, but that'll be for another time. Perhaps I'll do some quick visits to some places near where we'll be around then, but we'll see...
@Tyranexx Dollywood was an interesting amusment park. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been there though. They used to have this ride called Blazing Fury about a town catching on fire, which used red sheets attached to fans to simulate a fire. It was sort of a cheaper, creepier version of Pirates of the Caribbean, since a lot of the animatronic people moved really jerky and unnatural. “Rags to Riches: The Dolly Pardon Story” was also a hoot. Looks like they have state-of-the-art attractions and rollercoasters now, so probably a place worth visiting again.
Glad you made it out with the van. Those mountain roads really put vehicles to the test. That was one instance where I was really happy to have bought a Jeep. The old Honda Civic would’ve been in pain.
I started playing the GBC version of Super Mario Bros on my 2DS and... I somehow had never noticed you can’t really bounce jump off enemies in the first game. I even had to go and check the NES version to make sure it wasn’t just some weird change done to the GBC game.
Maybe it was just Super Mario Maker messing with my head.
@ogo79 If I eat that, I would probably poop something bigger than that kid.
hahaha hell yeah indeed

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
Today was the first time the grocery store didn't have lines to get in, or lines for a register. Seems like a notable milestone toward normalcy.... if it lasts.
