Maybe it is vanilla ice-cream You never know ...

With a topping of cookies and cream.

@ThanosReXXX That is great to know. I will continue to play it these days.

You can never have too much of Greek mythology!

@TheJGG Definitely did!

Cool, I'm guessing it was Andrew Lloyd Webber's channel? Asking because I remember he showed Cats last year on his channel for 24 hours, and tuning in (I've seen the show on broadway when I was a kid, late in its original run). Yeah, sometimes I do dinner and a movie with my mother. We did this the other night watching Disney's Cinderella.

@ogo79 Now I'm hungry. Looks so good.

Huh, I had notifications from 2 different people here, yet both times I clicked them I can't find them. Weird.

@ogo79 OMG I LOOOOOOOOVE country fried steak!

@Heavyarms55 Can confirm, I had the same problem too. I clicked on notifications and had to search for the posts.

FYI @TheJGG and @Snatcher, I saw your posts. Letting you two know since it didn't take me to said responses.

@Heavyarms55
Oh, i have replied to you this afternoon about a huge sale on Japanese 3DS eshop page up to 90% for Level-5 games, especially Yokai Watch games. The games tagged with 500 Yen price during the sale. The sale will be ended until 1 March 2021.

@Sunsy It was a charity fundraiser, from the channel “The Show Must Go On”. I don’t remember specifics, but that might have been ALW’s channel. It was open from October 9-11 2020, so for 48 hours one could view the whole 25th Anniversary production. I saw it with a friend over Zoom and we both enjoyed it.

I don’t watch much theatre, but when I do it’s darn good. A few weeks later I watched Les Misérables.

@Anti-Matter I never actually set up my Japanese 3DS with my Japanese Nintendo account. Lol

Thanks for the tip though

@ThanosReXXX You do realize that Internet Explorer and Edge are two different things, and Edge got upgraded to Chromium in 2019/20, making it more secure than Google Chrome (idk about Firefox, but would believe more secure than that too).

@HotGoomba Believe me: I know my browsers. Have to be able to use and know about all of them, due to my work in IT-related sales & marketing. Don't believe the hype: Chromium is NOT that secure at all. Maybe more secure than Chrome in its original version, but that really isn't saying very much either. Heck, Safari is even more secure, but I don't like Apple computers...

And yeah, because of the aforementioned, I obviously know that Internet Explorer is not exactly the same as Edge, but one IS an evolution of the other, albeit based upon another core design. Still not as secure as Firefox or any of its other forks, though. And the one I linked to, the Tor browser, is most definitely one of the most safest and most private browsers on the planet.

@ThanosReXXX I watched an LP of Skyward Sword a few years ago and it really made me want to play it, and I actually have it on Wii U too. But it's just lurked in the backlog all this time. I will probably wait for the Switch version now. I think those new Joycon look downright sexy! But I also know the odds of me being able to get a pair at the normal price is about as likely as winning the lottery in this country... I helped my cousin hunt down a Switch for her kid this past Christmas, we managed to get one after a few weeks, and less than an hour after we ordered it, Best Buy was sold out, again. And I still see marked up online even now. Because scalping is only getting worse and worse.

But that original special edition you have? That looks awesome too! I don't remember seeing that back in the day, but I was on the internet a lot less back then. And man, I'd love to listen to that CD (and rip it to my hard drive and phone... XD)

As for our mutual friend, yeah, I know... but sometimes I make poor choices.

@ThanosReXXX I don't really want to bash what other people think but I can't really help but agrre with you about anti, he wont play any game with any blood or muture themes whatsoever, joker in smash can't play that, sonic team racing can't play that, I bet he never played orcarania of time bc it had blood in it, I'm not trying to be mean to him or anything and I heard why he has the rules in place but, just the consteant you need to agree with me is just kinda pointless, I mean you can try.

@Heavyarms55 Yeah, those "Hylian" JoyCon sure look good. I might be persuaded to double-dip after all, or maybe I can get my hands on these controllers without the game. I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to get them at a normal price, by the way. I'd assume that they will be available for pre-order soon, so all you'd have to do is to keep tabs on Amazon or whatever other supplier you'd usually go for, and you should be good to go.

But yeah, scalping seems to become an ever increasing problem. You'd think that by now, web shops would be able to implement some counter measures, but in the end, I kinda think that they just don't care that much, long as they're able to sell their goods to someone...

As for the soundtrack on that limited edition Skyward Sword CD: I'm sure that someone has already ripped it and put it online, so all it'll take for you to find it, is to do a bit of Googling. Or better yet: DuckDuckGo-ing. Wouldn't want to let Google know that you're looking for ripped content...

Here's the album on YouTube, so you can at least listen to it and select the various tracks:

@TheJGG That's nice. Yup, that's the channel I was thinking of, that's where I saw Cats, albeit the filmed version of the actual musical.

Same here, the only musicals I've seen were Cats and Lion King on Broadway as a kid. I don't get to see them much. Still nice I got to see those two live, especially since the set of Cats was amazing to see in person with all the details they had on the junkyard set.

@ThanosReXXX You do bring up good points, but I can't guarantee that I'll switch.

Not sure if I'm getting some of my notifications. And the ones I do click don't always put me in the right place.

@Anti-Matter Looks like they could improve Miitopia HD then. I haven't personally played the game. It looks like a fun one, but unfortunately I have to be picky with what RPGs I pick up these days.

@TheJGG I hope they do a little more than just upres SS and call it a day. I'd be curious to see if they make any other improvements! And yeah, the motion controls complaints are overblown. I 100%ed the game back then and had very few problems with them. It was easy to recalibrate the remote the few times I did have issues. What irritated me the most was the handholding in the game, but it wasn't bad by any means. Fi is probably one of my least favorite companions in the series, but I didn't dislike her either.

I rarely if ever have chat feeds open when I watch a Nintendo Direct. Not only do I find the flurry of activity distracting, but it often moves so fast that a coherent conversation is almost impossible. Also to spare myself from the trolls and imbeciles.

@ThanosReXXX In most cases, finger snaps are pretty benevolent. Might wanna hide the Mad Titan exterior, though....
