I got two legendary Pokemons from Tazos chips (It's called Pokemon Coin here in Indonesia) from Chiki Balls snack.

I already got Arceus before even Legend of Arceus released. 😆

Edit: Actually i already have Zapdos and Arceus before so these are the same Tazos chips i got from Chiki Balls snack this morning. 😅
Well, Arceus is not a rare Pokemon anymore. 😁

@roy130390 I'm thinking if I should wait to get gang beast, because theres that gang beast like game coming next year, and it looks pretty good.

@Snatcher Oh, that's nice. What's the name of the upcoming game? I love playing this one with my girlfriend, but if you do get it I recommend to wait for a strong sale. It's really fun to play, even with randoms, but there's so many great games on Switch and $30 is too much for it.

@roy130390 Oh I wasn't going to get it at that price, thats waaay to much for a game like that.

Its called party animals I Think, But from the gameplay I saw it look like a more, whats the word, animated gang beast.

@Anti-Matter ah they have the notches and all, I loved using them to make little Tazo people

@Eel
I have collected 37 Pokemon Tazos chips (Pokemon Coin) from 100 Tazos chips with most of them are Legendaries (Arceus, Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Lunala, Solgaleo, Kyogre, Darkrai, etc).
The promotion started from beginning of August 2021 in Indonesia. You will get two random Tazos chips inside the snack.

so i decided to order one of those snes minis. they sent the pal one:

instead of this one:

both systems have the same games and run 60 Hz. the only difference is the style of system and button colors, perhaps i got the better looking one? dont know...

@ogo79 will the pal system use an AC adapter that works in the states? In either case you got the better controller imo. Love those colored buttons.

@Tyranexx Thanks! Been playing it a ton since I first got it, and I think I'm getting fairly close to finishing it. I love a good Metroid game, and Dread really delivered. Hopefully the amiibos will come back. I just checked My Nintendo today, and apparently there was a holographic poster set...but it was sold out unfortunately. Can't say I'm surprised, but I would have loved having it.

@Snatcher I see you around this website a lot, it's pretty cool, whenever i see certain users i kinda cheer up, sometimes i check the comments specifically to see if some users are around lol, happy commenting

i love the colored buttons myself. as you probably know by now, the states model came with the ac adapter while the pal version didnt. i ordered an official new ac adapter for it. all the pal games are ntsc american roms, and even the game names are titled american, no star wing, its star fox, no super probotector: alien rebels, its contra III: the alien wars. the pal games run 60 Hz, they are using the ntsc states roms. theres no doubt this official and brand new (to avoid possible flaws) ac adapter wouldnt work. its an american rom running system in a different model snes shell with pretty buttons.

@Edwirichuu I'm really glad If I made you happy, Well this comment made me happy, Thank you. I don't have words for how kind your words are to me, But ya, I pretty much live here, as I use no other social media platform.

Good day, and happy commenting to you as well!

@Losermagnet Sorry the notification didn’t pop up. I bought a few books on group theory (mathematics) and a book on the standard model (astrophysics). Outside of that I have a shoji building book I have been waiting to take a crack at (along with some basswood for projects) and I am halfway through an African American poetry anthology. My TI-89 calculator is charged and ready to go!

classic @ogo79

@ogo79 Many people prefer the pal looking SNES but the American one is not bad at all.

In the end it does not matter because on the inside they are the same even with the NES classic. They just printed different shell and put different games and made huge profits This is what I call a master class of skin selling!

Also why do you care what games are inside? In my NES and SNES I put all games that I like for the system and it is easy as well. Also with custom box art. Fantastic machines

Or you prefer to NOT add games to it?

@Sdelintwouters
Maybe around 1 week.

@ogo79 i wasn't aware! Thats good though. Maybe i'm misremembering the playstation classic bungling a bunch of stuff. I think the PAL system looks better, but my nostalgia pushes me towards the ol' gray and purple.

@Ryu_Niiyama thats what you're reading on your vacation? that sounds like homework (jk). I like to use free time to brush up on skill-building stuff too. I'd be interested in hearing how your shoji building goes 😁

@Losermagnet lol. I mostly read to learn (learning is fun and lucrative. Win win). But homework would be anything programming related. I’m not built to code.

Alright, pre-ordered Smurfs: Mission Vileaf on PC, and now the wait begins. I rarely pre-order games to begin with, as a Smurfs fan, I'm actually happy a new Smurfs game is coming out that isn't a mobile game.

I chose to get the GOG version since games like this rarely show up on GOG, plus DRM-free means I have it forever.

Ski sale this week. I think I'm going to see if there are any deals on cross country skis. In previous winters, at regular retail prices, I think it comes to around $500 for all the gear - skis, poles, boots, bindings?.

Cross country skiing doesn't have the thrill of halfpipes and getting air. So.... I dunno. But I don't want to put on weight this winter. Cross country skiing has to be better than running? Right?
