@WoomyNNYes
I see.
I think the distribution of official Amiibo Card was a mess.
Limited stock, completely random (real gambling by Nintendo), overpriced by scalpers, like i have no chance to get a lot of cards with acceptable prices.
I think i can find the Amiibo card clones in my hometown as there are a lot providers of those cards.
Thanks for the information. 🙂

@Anti-Matter I would think you can find amiibo cards by you. I don't know if you noticed, the cards I linked above (that are sold on ebay here) say they are from China

@Heavyarms55 Hang in there friend. Life is a strange thing sometimes. I really do hope there are some positives on your way with this life change.

Brownie points on the self-help Thanos image! XD Thanks for the chuckle. It kinda reminds me of a certain classic Chris Farley SNL skit....

@ThanosReXXX I figured as much. Thought I'd just roll along with that thought train for awhile.

Kinda curious about the knife scar, but you don't have to disclose that story if you don't wish. Someone who used to contract with us had an interesting ice breaker: her hand was stabbed by a troubled kid when she worked for social services.

Urban Trial Tricky released last week. I think NIntendolife should review it 🤪🤪🤪

(R. Craddock said they were working on it. I'm just playing dumb.)

@Tyranexx GOD I miss Phil Hartman, too. "Crack, ice, boom, pow" haha That sketch is epic.

@WoomyNNYes IMO, they should review the one the only POCKET MINI GOLF, the best Switch indie game.

(Also the only indie Switch game I own.)

@BabyYoshi12 Thats the only indie game you own? Wild. It looks like the mini golf game I had on my phone a long time ago. I liked that too. Ever try the Forgotton Anne demo? That's an indie game. I ended up buying that game, and really liked it.

@Tyranexx Can't watch the video while on break at work but I'll try to remember to watch it later.

I'm trying to look on the bright side. I do really want to see my friends and family in the US... you know, if COVID ever ends. My best friend just told me another one of their friends tested positive - and several of their coworkers were out because of possible exposure.

But assuming we don't all die first, I do really want to see friends and family that I have not seen in literally years in person.

And there are certain foods that I miss in the US that I was never quite able to get in Japan. Mostly unhealthy processed crap that just doesn't exist in Japan, but that I grew up eating. Like Eggo frozen waffles, deep dish pizza (I could make that myself but I lack an oven), White Castle sliders, and various frozen foods like pizza rolls and hot pockets. So I actually, strangely enough, look forward to that kind of thing.

@WoomyNNYes It might be the same game. The reason the game is called Pocket Mini Golf is that it was originally released on Android devices.

I got it with my gold points from New Horizons for about $2CAD. It’s definitely worth it.

That brings up a question I had a while ago. I found a eShop game for just $0.01 CAD. That’s probably the only game the same price in Canada and US.

Heh heh, I just found an article that is 10 hidden Switch features.

I use 8 of them on a regular basis, knew 1 of them and only learned one thing.

EDIT: This one has fifteen and I only learned one thing!

Did you know... You can press the A button to start a game?

@Anti-Matter The worst that could happen is you get a clone that doesn't work. Personally, I wouldn't pay money for a clone.

But if you have a friend you trust who knows how to do it, there shouldn't be any problems.

@BabyYoshi12 That 10 hidden things article has a bogus feature. You cannot browse the internet or google stuff on the Switch.

I can't believe My Nintendo doesn't have a July calendar wallpaper. EXCUSE ME BUT PAPER MARIO IS COMING OUT THIS MONTH. Should have one because of it. And a good date surrounding it.

@NessLucas
Here you go.

@Anti-Matter Thank you!

@Eel you got a spammer going nuts.

@Heavyarms55 I came across this one, after a quick search:

Go ahead, have a laugh...

@Tyranexx Oh, I've no problem with sharing that, it's been a long time ago, anyway.
It was back in my younger, wilder and far more aggressive days. Some a-hole couldn't beat me in a fair fight, so he decided to pull a knife on me. He ran at me, I ran at him, I dove into his chest juuust a little too slow, and so he nicked me on the back of the head.

I still beat the crap out of him anyway...

But because the cut was still deep enough, it's now forever visible at the back of my head. Well, at least, after I've had a hair cut, because I usually like to have it cut pretty short, so I actually use it as a reference point of how short it must be. My hairdresser now knows he can trim away until he sees the scar...

@Eel That reminds me of the GameCube "secret startup" sounds: besides the regular one, there's the one where you keep Z pressed to hear a sound of monkeys laughing (some say it's clowns, but I think it sounds like monkeys), and then there's also a more elaborate one, where if you connect four controllers to a GameCube, and then simultaneously press all Z buttons, you'll get what is referred to as a "Ninja orchestra", where you'll hear drums, a choir bit and a couple of "whoosh" sounds, supposedly ninjas and their weapons.

Never tried that one with the four controllers myself, though...

@Tasuki Where?

I always assumed they were meant to be squeaky toys.

Funnily enough, I have an ancient video of that alternative start up sequence uploaded to my old abandoned YouTube account.

It's bad. I know.

@Eel Ah, yes. Forgot about the laughing kid at the end. And I've heard people referring to it as squeaky toys before, but to me, it still sounds like monkeys chirping, though.

Here's all of the sounds, in glorious 480p...

Gamecube startup theme + Running in 90's = This video.
