@Snatcher Ah, okay. I figured I'd just give you a heads up about it. I don't think @Tyranexx will be offended about it, though. It's just an online forum, after all.

@Eel Lucky you. Meanwhile, I was finally able to pick up my pre-ordered Skyward Sword JoyCon. So pretty. Sigh...

@WoomyNNYes Ah, alrighty, then. I just wondered "why the heck would you waste a perfectly fine water balloon by tossing it into a pool instead of on someone's head?" but luckily, you're all normal people, after all...

@Tyranexx "free sweets that sometimes appear"

Okay, now I have visions of you having a garden that's frequented by stealthy leprechauns leaving behind magical jelly beans or something...

Agreed on being against the whole "some foods are bad" sentiment. Obviously, some fat foods are, but you can even get fat from eating healthy foods, so the obvious key and solution to all of it is moderation. Even the odd splash out/family dinner gathering doesn't matter in that case, even if it's a monthly returning thing. In my family, we have plenty of elaborate birthday happenings, and none of them are without copious amounts of foods and beverages, so one would think that after one of these events, the rest of the week should consist of a diet of bread and water...

But of course, it doesn't work like that, because the human body isn't a yoyo (jojo?), and therefore shouldn't be treated as such. I too have the same issue with my body not notifying me of being full, though. But I actually think it's not specific to certain people, I think that there's a lot of people that know this phenomenon. In general, it only sinks in some time AFTER you took that second helping that you know you shouldn't have taken, but which tasted so good and was finished with relative ease, regardless of the fact that you might have easily been able to sustain yourself with just a single plate.

I have this problem with nearly ALL rice and pasta dishes. Somehow, it's become second nature to never stick with just one plate, and at the moment that I'm eating, I don't feel full at all. But 1 or 2 hours later, sitting in front of the TV, I start to feel a bit bloated, and then it sometimes dawns on me that I should NOT have taken a second plate. Oh, well... what's done is done. At least I'm enjoying my life, far as I can now, with all these restrictions, and even though I'm overweight, I'm still quite fit for my age, so I'm good even if I ultimately don't lose the extra pounds.

@SM3DASislit Phone issues? Wut? Doing some mega-late replies again, huh?

Wanna hear something funny?

A few updates back, Apple added lossless and dolby atmos support to Apple Music. Cool right? I immediately deleted a lot of music and re-downloaded it in the new formats. Ah the joy of higher definition sound.

Except, those updates absolutely killed the offline experience. Anything lossless or dolby atmos related simply stopped playing at the 15 second mark unless you had an internet connection.

Of course, that's not so much of a problem for a phone. But, well, I have an iPod, and it's for music. So I'll use it for consuming music whenever possible. Why waste space and battery on my phone when I have an iPod?

So you have me, struggling with music that is constantly stopping and glitching the Music app.

I tried multiple workarounds, and they worked for a while, until the problems returned eventually. But yesterday was my breakdown point. I did the ultimate solution. I deleted my entire library of music off my iPod, to redownload it all again in the basic format. Rid myself of the lossless dolby atmos blight.

Guess what happened today?

They released a new update that fixed the problem. Ah.

Hah. Haha.

@Snatcher It was a small and quaint wedding. The ceremony was only about ten minutes, and I can't complain about the catering! It was all handled by a local place. They have the best doughy chicken & noodles!

@MarioLover92 I don't fly often - heck, I last boarded a plane in late 2019 for a work-related conference - but I enjoy going to places outside the norm. It really is a different world several thousand feet up, and weather permitting, the view can be really decent! I went to Southern California on a family vacation as a teenager. We mostly stuck around LA and San Diego (Side note: I'll never drive in LA), but we did make it up to Sequoia National Park. I definitely recommend that experience if you like getting out in nature. Sounds like you went to a pretty picturesque wedding! Though I gotta agree that the early wakeup time so that you could make your flight home would have been quite rough on me. XD

@bimmy-lee I fully agree on bloodsuckers and internal parasites. The former are why I really don't mind bats, though I'm careful the few times I have had to handle the flying rodents since they can also harbor diseases. Mosquitoes certainly have their place in the ecosystem, though I'd rather that place be smashed to a pulp or in some happy creature's stomach.

As for my weight loss, the accolades are appreciated, thanks! I've basically lost 1/3 of my total maximum at this point. I'd like to get down about ten more pounds, but I smashed both my previous goals (180 lbs. and 160 lbs.). I'm at the point where those remaining pounds really like hanging on. I plateaued awhile back, so that's when I decided to work some strength training into my routine. I went with bodyweight exercises on strength days to shove in some cardio as well. That's certainly helped a bit, though virtual lockdown in my state certainly helped too.

@Eel ..... Hands over preferred beverage of choice

@ThanosReXXX Hah, more like coworkers who like stocking chocolate and other goodies on occasion in their office for everyone to dig into. Doesn't help that there's a very cheap snack machine at work too (most expensive item is 50 cents). I'm normally pretty good about staying out of the latter though unless there's something new I want to sample.

Yep, moderation is key. If I've had a not-so-great day in the food department, I remind myself that the overall picture for the month is what matters more. We're all human after all; we'd be hard pressed to find a oerfect eater. I do believe two of life's pleasures are savoring foods we love and trying new foods that interest us.

I try listening to my body on fullness, but I definitely can relate on the second plate phenomenon. I've also tried the "Just take small amounts of what you're interested in" at potluck style family gatherings, but...I'm not a very picky eater. XD It's easier when I make and plan meals on my own, though I'm not perfect in that department either. Sometimes, my metabolism can get a little out of whack, so I believe that's some of the trouble.

As for bread items, I'm not a huge pasta aficionado but do enjoy spaghetti, ravioli, noodles, pasta shells, etc. on occasion. Rice and some forms of bread, especially if it's smothered in butter and garlic, is a lot harder for me to ignore lol. Same with pizza and the accompanying crust. I like foods from all food groups, but I won't deny the ones I prefer are the ones we probably shouldn't eat as much of. XD

@MarioLover92 Neat, I tried Super Metroid for a bit via the Switch SNES app.

@SM3DASislit Yup! I got into one game, the second game couldn't even connect. I think post-launch, I didn't have any connection problems. I did disconnect from waiting lobby once all because I checked my friends list while waiting, but learned not to do that.

Yeah, he likes it so far and got a cosmetic item for his avatar. Hope so, it's really a fun game and I hope more I know with Switches end up discovering it too. He loves anime, so he might enjoy the upcoming Demon Slayer crossover Ninjala is having too.

Guys, what do you think about Spongebob games on Wii ?
Are they decent enough for casual player ?
I found there are 4 different Spongebob Wii games from Tokopedia.
(Atlantis Squarepantis, Boating Bash, Creature from Krusty Krab, Glob Doom)
I'm not sure I will getting along with the games as I don't really have much interest with Spongebob franchise.
I have watched all of the gameplay from those games but I still unsure to consider them.
Should I consider any of them ?

@Vortexeo Christ that’s high praise! So glad you like it, hope you continue to enjoy it!

It took a while but I’m so glad I pushed through and finished it yesterday. I haven’t even fought that guy yet but I fell in love with that song as soon as I heard it in the soundtrack. It’s just too awesome not to try.

I found Cinderella Indonesia version (1978) from YouTube.

It was so cheesy, cringey and hilarious as the setting was at modern city Jakarta (you can tell from the building architectures design) but tried to be classic like during 1800's era. 😂
The stepmother and stepsisters were so rude, impudent and really bad mouth in that version, didn't hesitate to call Cinderella as idiot (Goblok = Idiot).
The Indonesia version used the Disney version (stepsisters spoilt Cinderella dress).

@Tyranexx Well to start your weight loss sounds very encouraging. Losing a third of your weight is not easy so you can be very happy with your progress so far. Keep it up and you'll be a changed person by the time this whole thing's over. The most I've weighed in the last five years is about... 135 Ibs, (around 63 kilograms), but now I've lowered it to about 125 Ibs (about 56 kilos). It's not as dramatic a loss as yours but that's due to my gender, age and presumably my height. I'm about 5'9 (175cm), quite short really, but that means I'm on the lower end of the BMI spectrum. Nobody’s a perfect eater, but rewarding yourself every now and then is important. Not every day, but maybe once a week.

Funnily I don't like sweets that much. Liquorice is the sweet I hate the most, it has such a sickly sweet quality (or hindrance) that makes me want to feel sick when looking at it, or smelling it. God forbid if I eat liquorice. Sweets per se aren't my interest but chocolate can be classified as a completely different item compared to sweets. The sweet things I do like are things like cake, and desserts, not gummies. At least with baked sweet things like pancakes you can substitute ingredients to make them healthier. I suspect the overabundance of white flour contributed to at least two of the four attacks I've had in the last week.

Fair enough, on the Super Mario 3D All-Stars video. I can take appreciation from the fact that you saw it, (so my thanks!) and that you can see the few examples there are that highlight the shortcomings of that collection. One channel where the host complains, is Scott the Woz, and if I’ve ever watched a more comedic, genuinely funny, engaging host anywhere, I’d like to know where it was. He has a similar video on collections, and while I won’t link it, I’ll at least say the tone is much lighter.

It didn’t feel nice at the time thanks to the sand, and heat, but all was forgiven when I dunked myself in our pool. Cleaning up’s something I can’t say I’ve done much but when I do do it, I end up spending two hours doing it, and make a good impact. And say that again… a CD landed on your lawn?! Hopefully next time something more valuable ends up there. My dog is adorable. So loving, and gentle. His name is Dasher. I don’t know what we were thinking when we named him but I like it. We dress him up in a reindeer costume every Christmas, so there’s gotta be a reason for the naming.

Well I agree with that. Music has become mind-numbingly generic lately. Which is a shame because fresh inspiration has become available in the form of this pandemic. Electronic music for me is so expressive, despite, ironically, it being completely digital. I’ve only heard one Nickelback song but it was a very fun one: “Rockstar”. I haven’t listened to any of the groups you’ve mentioned unfortunately. And as for Daft Punk… I feel like their work is too good to miss. Their sampling work is second to none, I haven’t heard anyone sample as well as those two, their vocals are so memorable, and their collaborations are so good. Thanks for linking that interpretation of H.B.F.S, it reminded me of that Finnish guy who does the Device Orchestra labours of love. So much detail and care put in. And I’m glad you liked that song, it’s probably one of my all time favourites. Hopefully you’ll like what you hear, my favourite album is a toss up between Random Access Memories (2013) and Discovery (2001). Lemme know what you find!

For me it kinda depends on the user who responds to me. That’s kinda my first “security” check if you will. If it’s someone I’ve conversed with before then of course I’d read it in a hurry. I read everything I’m tagged to anyway but some things I’m mentioned in are frankly meaningless, almost exclusively in the comments section. Like one time I made a joke about Crash Bandicoot, and then I had a few users correcting me. It’s a one-line joke, I’m not looking for specifics! But either way comments can be fun, because articles have one specific focused topic, whereas in forums you can discuss just about whatever you want anywhere you want. And again, if all I have to say is “yes”, I’ll just not respond.

I ultimately didn’t get a steelbook with my copy of Skyward Sword, but it’s one of those things where I’d feel a little sad and then move on. I’d love to stare at it a few times a day but I’m not gonna cry over it if I don’t get it. Feels nice to hold a physical game in my hand. And that’ll keep me busy for a few weeks now! I’ve made it to Lanayru Desert at the time of writing, so while I’m not struggling to solve the puzzles I’m still having bucketloads of fun. The QoL changes are subtle but they enhance the experience. These enhanced editions make me want to see Xenoblade X more than ever. But we shall have to wait and see about that one. Good to hear Ys VIII is going well for you as well!

I’d also like to bring up Doki Doki Literature Club, because I’ve played through about three to four hours of that. Oh my God. It’s probably the most emotional game I’ve played since I beat Death Stranding back in February. I’ll leave it at that since you may or may not be familiar with the story. That way when I write the next long post I’ll have beaten the game and have time to process it. Let’s say for now that I felt unsettlingly familiar with the writing at times, because one of the characters suffers from “bad” depression, and I knew someone like that. Down to a tee. I can’t stop thinking about it…

In middle school I was caught out by American pronunciation, in an incident I will never ever forget. I was in a city-wide spelling bee and I was in the finals. If I get a word wrong, a single one, I’m out. The American announcer says “radicent” and I, being English, spell it as it is spelt up there. Only that it’s “reticent” and that the lady’s accent threw me off. I missed out, and went home with a gift bag and a medal for trying. Shame, because the other words competitors got made me optimistic about my chances of winning. I also mispronounce a few words wrong even today. “Pecan” is the most obvious one that I am reminded about daily!

Now I’m the one needing to avoid temptation… but I’ve enjoyed a daily helping of toast. I looked through all the images of the pancakes… and they’re just not good enough. When I make them next I’ll share them then. Apologies… but they’re pure rubbish!

@TheJGG
I'm 180 cm with weight currently 77 kg.
I got fatter during pandemic due to not playing DDR Arcade routinely. 😣
I don't like to see my belly now but from Wii Fit and Wii Fit U I played, it told I was Normal with BMI = 22 - 23.
But I was skinny 6 years ago, 55 kg and when I saw my photo on year 2015, I saw a skinny guy.

I was impressed that Wii Fit balance could measure my weight, calculated with my height, I was Normal not skinny nor overweight (BMI = 22 - 23).
But the game told me my Wii Fit age was 46 - 48 years old (Wut ? I am 36 years old)

@Anti-Matter (I think) It's a measure of how fit you are (from the Wii Fit workouts). The closer the Wii Fit age is to your actual age, the better. I remember losing my mind over getting the Wii Fit age the exact same when I had the Wii.

Don't worry if you get a big gap on a test, though. My wii fit ages were very often ridiculously off.

Hope you're having a good day.

@SM3DASislit Yeah you're welcome! I do like Disney+ quite a bit, though the problem I have is that on my smart TV, the app would reset itself for some reason. I did buy a streaming box, which will likely come tomorrow, so hopefully that will work better. I'd love to have Studio Ghibli films on Disney+ too, though I'm not sure if that'll happen. I think they're on HBO Max?

@bimmy-lee Absolutely, I did tend to play it safe when it comes to rentals, admittedly. Usually platformers and racing games at the time. I did make some good friends during my time at college too - I had a math tutor who's also into Nintendo games.

@Tyranexx Yeah, I haven't been flying that often either. My first flight was in 2016 (the CA flight), and my most recent one was in 2019. I'll try to keep that park in mind the next time I go to CA, always liked walking in nature parks! There's a pretty nice nature trail that's not too far away from home, which I like visiting every now and then. It was a picturesque wedding indeed, the ceremony literally took place on a beach. That was the last thing we went to before flying back home the next day.

@Sunsy That's cool. It's easily one of my favorite games of all time.

Probably not. I never was big into SpongeBob so I pretty much ignored them.

Also, Anti, I did read a post of yours where you've been considering getting some Japanese GameCube games, if you have a means of playing them I'd recommend Nintendo Puzzle Collection, which has Dr. Mario, Yoshi's Cookie, and the best puzzle game ever made, Panel de Pon. (No seriously, Panel de Pon is amazing...I'd recommend it for that game alone.)

@Tyranexx Smothered in butter and garlic, huh? Well, at least that's one helpful tool in keeping people at a distance, simultaneously saving you from social awkwardness. Or not...

All kidding aside, I think we're pretty much the same kind of people: aware of a lot of things concerning health, but not necessarily letting that smother our sense of trying to enjoy and live life, with all, well: not ALL, but a lot of the benefits and finer things that come along with it.

Speaking of which: I made myself a BIG amount of my very own Asian/pasta mix today. Basically a variety of finely chopped up greens (white cabbage, leek, onions, green bell peppers, bean sprouts, red chili pepper) totaling around 600 grams, stir fried in a giant cast-iron wok, mixed with a pound of ground beef, which I first stir fried into loose, semi-well done grain-sized bits.

Then I add the veggies, and after these have softened up a bit, I add a small can of tomato paste, stir all of that up again, and then I add (and stir through) a pound of cooked pasta, usually elbows or "giant" elbows, sometimes referred to as "pipe rigatti", if any Italian is written on the package, and presto!

(edit: ground beef seasoned with a bit of salt, garlic, either freshly chopped or powder, paprika powder and mixed spices for meatballs, both the meat and the vegetables stir fried in olive oil)

Done in under half an hour, and unfortunately, not just pretty easy to make, also pretty easy to eat. And easily to eat too much of as well. Which I did, AGAIN. Damn, I'm full...

REALLY gotta stop doing that...

[Beginning of Phone Growling]

To save money, I'm in with my family's AT&T plan and pay my share of the bill. It's cheaper than going out on my own, even with most decent prepaid services. In the area I live in, you're pretty much stuck with AT&T or Verizon as the only other major carrier, T-Mobile, doesn't work well off the beaten path. Anyway, AT&T is shutting down their 3G network in February 2022. That's all well and good, but they've deemed my phone, as well as my mom's, as not working on the "new" network. My current phone is a Moto X4, an unlocked phone I bought off Amazon, which I have been considering updating from anyway (I've had it for over 3 years now). It's capable of using 4G, but it isn't whitelisted to use their HD Voice technology; it is, according to this Reddit thread, fully capable. Some web searching shows I'm not the only one with this problem.

So just switch phones, right? That's the plan, but my mother received a message (and it is verified to be real), that they're sending us free phones "similar to your current phones". I had my doubts, and sure enough, I looked up the model of the phone after she received the shipping notification. The things are, unsurprisingly, potatoes (specs). I wouldn't get these unless it was a cheapo first phone for a kid or for someone who would only use it for talk and text. Unfortunately, after they arrive, if they aren't activated in 30 days, they'll switch the service automatically.

My hope is to go to the local store and attempt to negotiate as I was planning on buying another unlocked phone anyway; due to finances needed for other endeavors, I was hoping to wait until late this fall. I'd love to grab a mid-end Google Pixel, an unlocked 5a in fact, but those are rumored to not launch until August or September. Its predecessor, the 4a, is/will be supported on AT&T's network. If all else fails, I'll allow the temporary phone switch, but you can bet I'll still keep my current one around for wi-fi data use until I can fully switch. That'll really hamstring my Pokemon Go playing and mobile data use, however. While I get why they're doing this for holdouts or those not well-versed with phone tech, it's not like the phone I'm using is an ancient flip phone from 2005. The very frustrating thing is that my current phone is capable of doing all they want it to do, but it isn't approved on their network. From a support thread I found, Lenovo's hands are tied on the matter.

Sorry about this, just needed to vent a little. I'm not really angry per se, just frustrated and slightly exasperated.

[End of Growling about Phone]

@MarioLover92 Before the pandemic, I probably averaged almost a flight a year, though there was a gap of several years in there. The majority of them have been work (rare) or vacation related. My family didn't fly for vacation much unless we were going very far, but there were a few school and youth group trips I went on in high school that required flying.

I enjoy getting out in nature and use a trail system not too far from my home on occasion. Only for a few hours max though; I'm not an overnight camper and do, at the end of the day, need at least basic plumbing and a shower. I do like going to National Parks, but unfortunately none are too close to my vicinity. There are a handful of state parks and national forests, however.

@ThanosReXXX I like to think that the garlic keeps away people who would drive me crazy. Or vampires.

Believe me, I've actually been down the path of "don't eat that", but that certainly doesn't shut down any cravings some of the time lol. There are some things I naturally gravitated away from eating a lot of, even before I started trying. One thing was potato chips; I still like them, they just aren't something I "want" usually. As for soda/pop/carbonated drinks, I've found I don't miss them and don't really crave them anymore. The only very rare exception is when it comes to a Dr. Pepper or Root Beer float, but I probably only average one of those a year. Basically, I do try to make better choices most of the time, but I'm not against the occasional sugary or salty sampling.

That pasta mix sounds VERY good, and indeed pretty easy to make! I'd probably sub in banana peppers for the bell peppers however; outside of a couple of exceptions, I'm not a big fan of bell peppers. I actually don't have paprika; I've been trying to expand my seasoning and spice selection a little, but that isn't something I've added yet. The best part of it all is that you made it yourself, so you know exactly what went into it! Nothing wrong with a bit of hearty eating now and again. That's what I'm telling myself about two upcoming family reunions anyway....Good news is they're both at a park (the same one in fact, but different sides of the family) with an access to a trail system. I'll be walking a little of my meal off.

@Tyranexx - Strength training can add a little bit of weight after the initial cut, but it’s good weight, and it’s more than just the number anyway (as you know) though your numbers are impressive. It’s all about how you feel. Those last few pounds certainly have a way of clinging on though, and it’s especially frustrating because the first few pounds just disappear and can give the illusion that weight loss is easy, but it’s not!

I do think bats are really cool, but their sheer numbers require more aggressive forms of natural balance control, which in turn can lead to zoonotic transmission of the control mechanism; so I just kinda wish there was slightly less of them, though that in no way would guarantee us safety from the viruses. I have some living in my yard, I never see them, but I can hear them at night and every once in a while one swoops in real close. That kinda freaks me out, but I assume it’s because I have a swarm of mosquitos hovering around me the moment I step outside.

Edit - It’s amazing that our phone addictions have allowed the cell companies to basically become drug dealers. “My current phone is fine, but you think I should upgrade??? Okay!”

Edit edit - General statement not specific to your situation.

@ogo79 - Haha, my buddy told me about Mike’s YT show and what he’s up to, but I still haven’t sat down to watch an episode yet. He was telling me about some super deep philosophical rabbit hole Mike went down on one episode, but couldn’t finish the thought because he forgot what he was talking about mid sentence. Sounds hilarious.

@MarioLover92 - Always fun to meet a fellow Nintendo fan. It’s like you immediately have an enormous shared history. The 64 was still really big back in my dorm days, and my gpa suffered a bit due to all the group Kart, Smash and NFL Blitz marathons. I pulled through though and wouldn’t change a thing. Some of my favorite nights in college were simple week night gaming nights. The weekends were their own special kind of fun, but the specifics have become hazy over time, and I remember more the evenings of passing around controllers with friends and talking a lot of smack at everyone.
