@Blooper987 Oh my god, that’s fantastic! I’m a bit late but how did it go?

@MarioLover92 You don’t need to feel guilty about that at all. Take it from me, I still have tons of fun with the Switch despite putting in hours into some PS games. Persona 5 Royal is a must, that game is a classic on so many levels. Actually every game you mentioned is, so even better!

Glad you have a solid plan in place! Can’t wait to hear more about it!

@theJGG No I don't feel guilty about playing Switch games, I said that I'm wondering how much 1st-party games are coming out for Switch this year. As of now, Nintendo hasn't announced a whole lot for 2021 besides Super Mario 3D World, and we don't know when Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4 are coming out. They'll announce games this year for sure, we just don't know what they'll be at the moment.

I'll talk more about the PS5 once I get it, I'll keep you guys posted.

@NintendoByNature Hah, you like what you like! Some XC fans might consider that statement sacrilege - I thought XC:DE was one of the best JRPGs I've played in recent memory - but I can also support it as I'm also a diehard Zelda fan! We'll see if I agree when I get around to playing AoC. Hopefully the wait won't be as long as with BotW lol. I suspect I'll like it more than the original Hyrule Warriors since the story is canon this time around.

Incidentally, I raided the Yiga Hideout in BotW yesterday evening. I wasn't happy at the forced stealth and OHKs, but it was all worth it in the end. Though Master Kohga wasn't exactly what I was expecting, especially when some of the disguised Yiga travelers referred to him as "dreamy"....

@Anti-Matter I also like those CSI-inspired drawings! While the chibi forms are good, I think I prefer the realistic proportions in this case.

@theJGG I daresay one has no humor if they can't laugh at themselves at occasion, even if it is in hindsight.

@BruceCM If I recall, the count to max out all slots is 441 Korok seeds. I'm currently sitting at just over 300.

@ThanosReXXX Heck, that's a hard stop even when driving a vehicle! I'm glad the situation didn't end up worse.

The closest thing I've done to skiing is ice skate, which I know is far from a 1:1 comparison lol. That was only once at an indoor rink two hours away (part of a youth trip) many years ago. I had fun overall, but there were a lot of falls and some VERY sore legs at the end of the day. XD

@PokemonGirl99 That's completely up to you. As Eel suggested, you can also make a new Switch profile if you don't want to erase your old one.

@Tyranexx @Eel Yooo the shiny drought has ended! Over the weekend I nabbed 2 shiny Sneasel from the totally non community day, then on Monday I grabbed another shiny shadow Pinsir from James. Then today I caught a shiny Scrafty in a Raid in Pokemon Shield and then hatched a shiny Timburr from a 10km egg! It's been a good few days for shiny hunting! Also hatched a second Darumaka finally. One more and I can finally get a Darmanitan in Go. I'm enjoying this super boost to egg hatching!

Have you guys gotten anything nice lately?

@Heavyarms55 oh wow that's a big spurt of shiny karma! I haven't really caught anything outside of events that increase the chances.

The most notable thing on my corner would be that I actually managed to complete the special collection tasks for both Hoenn and Johto.

The Sinnoh one was particularly awful with it requiring shadow pokemon.

@Tyranexx for sure. The yiga are a fun bunch 😉

@Tyranexx
I have created my own detective polices since 2000 when i was Senior High school student. The idea was from NYPD Blue and Martial Law (Sammo Hung) then added by CSI when i watched CSI NY and Miami from AXN (TV Cable).

@Heavyarms55 Congrats on all the shiny finds! No luck lately outside of obtaining a shiny Raikou in a lucky trade, though I haven't been playing as much Pokemon Go either. I sorta forgot about the Sneasel event, but I already have a shiny Weavile so don't feel torn at missing it lol.

I did finish the Johto scavenger hunt, but not the others. The Sinnoh one with the shadow 'Mon was brutal.

@NintendoByNature And I've become so accustomed to checking travelers for names before talking to them....At first fighting them was a rush, but now they're pretty easy to beat.

@Anti-Matter I used to watch some of both CSI: Miami and New York back in the day. Very entertaining/interesting shows, though the situations are more dramatic than they typically are IRL. Gotta keep the audience captive somehow!

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

@Tyranexx
The thing that i still remembered from CSI Miami was cocaine smuggled inside the jacket fabric. That was mind blowing to see cocaine can be smuggled by that method.
And Horatio Caine from CSI Miami shares same name with me, David. He is David Carusso.

But i don't watch CSI anymore. As i grew up some of my favorite things in the past has been changed too.

I made some red envelopes for Chinese New Year celebration as part of my drawing lesson next week. It made from red buffalo paper. I cut the paper into two then i drew some lines to make red envelope template and i pasted the pictures on it.

@Tyranexx Haha, yeah, that's the old "muscles you'd otherwise hardly ever use" formula at work right there.

I always experience the same when I go skiing. It's only once a year, or sometimes once in every two years, 10 days in a row, and you're basically addressing muscles and tendons in an entirely different way. And on top of that, you're using them excessively as well, even if it's only for a day, so yeah, a little bit of muscle ache is bound to happen...

@Tyranexx I’m going to try to complete Pokémon Platinum again

@PokemonGirl99
You don't need to tell every single small progress of your Pokemon games to @Tyranexx
If you want to complete your Pokedex or start new games again or etc, it's up to your choice, no need to tell to Tyranexx all the time.
You can always look from Youtube first if you want some walkthrough of your games.
Be confident with your choice.

@Anti-Matter when do the remakes of of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl come out

I have no idea and why did you ask to me about Pokemon / Pearl remake?
I am not a God who know every single things.
Nintendo didn't even mention about that nor even we got the official names for the remakes if only the remakes will be really do exist.
Btw, before you ask something think again about the question you want to ask.

I played Super Mario Party for a while

@Tyranexx I see - again, glad to hear it's getting better. I see in your signature that you're playing DKC3 - that's the only DKC game I haven't played extensively. It came out on NSO fairly recently so hopefully I'll put more time into it.

@Eel @Tyranexx Yeah the shadow hunt was real annoying! I agree. I have completed the hunts so far. I like having all these different tasks in game. I just need Cliff to spawn so I can finish the rocket stuff. Fought Sierra 3 times now.
