@Snatcher I still remember that balloon, even sent a pic of it to my friend who loves Dragon Ball.

Phew...
Just finished the storyline of Kao the Kangaroo Round 2 Gamecube.
The final Boss was really damn hard in term of escaping from the bombs rain. 🤬
I failed so many times due to fallen into ocean.
The final part was really damn hard until i figured it out to use Strafe mode to lick target my boomerang onto final Boss.
The ending was really mediocre (the final boss trapped by a parrot then got sent into uncharted island as the credit roll showed him crying alone on uncharted island) as i played the game, Kao the Kangaroo 2 have very poor storyline, looked very amateurish way to build the plot.
Some of Old games was really damn hard if i compared with modern games.

@Anti-Matter I did start moving houses to make more room for certain areas. I'm hoping to make a Mario-themed amusement park on my island. I do intend to have crops as well.

@MarioLover92
My fun park with ferris wheel will be in front of my house if you have ever visited my island.
I have to sell a lot of flower plants from my farm to prepare empty spots for new crops.
I will try to purchase the HHP DLC ASAP so i can get more exclusive items from HHP island.

Oh, dang...!
I got weight gain 5 lbs after measuring my body with Wii Fit. Yikes !
My current weight is almost 80 kg. 😱
But it was still Normal by BMI (23.65) with my height 180 cm.
During pandemic i got weight gain as i cannot play DDR Arcade as the fastest way for me to burn tons of calories.

@Losermagnet Mostly work but it was supposed to be quiet since it’s Budget Boot Camp (I, thankfully, am not an accountant so I didn’t have to attend) however I had an unexpected Term, the accounting team returned two custom reports because they are needlessly picky, one of my servers got hit with malware and I have to do an inventory run by tomorrow oh my software account manager is getting transferred and his replacement is worse. I just wanna go to bed and try again tomorrow. Oh and my next door neighbor’s apartment flooded so I am terrified there was some damage to my side of the wall. My apartment doubles as my company’s IT department so if I got water in here it is just asking to get electrocuted.

I hope everything is ok with your pets and your health.

If BMI's anything to go by I'm perfectly healthy at a 20.2

@Losermagnet Considering I live in an Arabic country and Tuesdays still suck... it's a universal law.

Having said that Mondays suck too. And Wednesdays. The first and last days are fine.

So I think I'm being ghosted. I was told I'd get an update on the job I'm applying for on Thursday and I still haven't heard anything, even after a gentle email asking for some info. Ruuuude.

But gaming wise I've got a team to build so I can hopefully stomp my mate in Pokemon XY.

not too bad, was worried I'd be 100p. In that case, I'll buy myself one as well.

Man those Damn warnings they have on Cable every Week still creeps me the hell out.

Hope everbody got through Tuesday okay! You know wait day it is now? Iiiiiiiiit's Wednesday. I'm pretty sure it is anyway.

@Ryu_Niiyama oh wow 😳 when it rains it pours. That sounds like one of those days where I start contemplating when my next week off is lol. Hope your apt is okay. Is the property management checking the extent of the damage? Apt living drove me crazy. Noise, fire, water. We lived across from an assisted living facility too so there were always ambulances.

My dog is getting old and I can tell senility is setting in and it hurts my heart a lil'. My wife and I adopted her at a year and a half old and she's just the sweetest dog. So she occassionally has problems but nothing major. The cat....well the cat's just kind of a jerk lol. But he's okay and I still love him (begrudgingly). I wish I could say i've been healthy, but things took a nose dive about 2 years ago. Suffice it to say - i am fine. Life happens and I try to roll with the punches. I'm better at it now than I was 2 years ago 😂

Incidentally, regarding the bmi discussion, I've put on some weight. I was usually 175lbs (i'm 5 feet, 11 and 1/2 inches. I check weekly lol.). Well i lost about 10lbs, was put on some medication, and gained 40lbs. I've lost 15 of that but i can't shake that remaining 15lbs.

@Snatcher That's like one of the benefits to not having cable TV, lol. Though, local TV ends up going live for breaking news sometimes.

@Losermagnet Got through Tuesday, yesterday was going ok until the Trolls holiday special was announced. That news actually made my day better. Nothing special was going on yesterday until that point.

Speaking about public holiday on 19 Oct 2021, due to pandemic situation and the holiday was taking a place of Tuesday after Sunday, the government in Indonesia (Mr Jokowi) moved the holiday to 20 Oct 2021.
The Mawlid of prophet Muhammad celebration was still on yesterday but the holiday taking place today.

Have seen that a lot of you play Metroid Dread. Even though I did not jumped on it in the first place, i started to got some interest in it.

@Snatcher I only see alerts & alert tests on PBS stations. I dont think they're tied to cable providers.

I cant tell you how often an alert test would interrupt my dvr'd Science View on NHK World.

@reporterdavid This website has that kind of effect on you. You see other people having a blast and think "maybe I should see what it's all about". I've only been on this site for a few months but already I plan to get half a dozen games that I wouldn't have before, all because of the experiences of others on this site.

@Sunsy @WoomyNNYes Lucky you guys, It sure makes me jump when I'm trying to sleep.

@Snatcher Sometimes if I go to sleep with the TV on, it's usually on low. Sometimes it's a stream I start on YouTube two-three hours before bed... totally not taking advantage of Switch's video auto turn off feature after four hours for this.

@chapu2006 yeah, well i didn't want to have a singleplayer, rather love to play online. it still doesn't pitch me that much, but for some reason it brought a feeling of "ok, this might be cool"...

@reporterdavid Yeah I played it a lot when it first came out, and I beat it recently - it is such a good game. I was thinking you may want to play the older games first to get the most out of the story, though you'll want to play the remakes of Metroid 1 and 2 (Zero Mission and Samus Returns, respectively) instead of their original versions. The original NES version of Metroid is...not that good nowadays.

If you don't have any way to play much of the older games (it's okay if you don't - Zero Mission and Fusion only got rereleased on Wii U and only a few people bought that console), Nintendo Life actually made a video discussing if Dread can be your first Metroid game.
