@Tyranexx Ah ok, gotcha. Sounds like your bro's dog is super excited about those packages, thinking that they're all treats/toys for him, but yeah, that does sound maddening for sure! My cat would scratch that one box of Christmas scenery while we have it out during our decorating process. Yeah, a bunch of scratches and everything, lol. Thankfully, the scenery items themselves are still in good condition. Agreed on your math comment. There's no chance in heck I'm doing those word problems on my free time. lol
On my drawing - thank you! Nah, Mario's just excited to get his present, lol. I made it so that Toad's train is chugging along in the background, complete with a silhouette. A friend of mine from Twitter actually suggested that I make a part 2 to last year's drawing, that is how I got that idea.
@Snatcher Yeah, I find that they're quicker to make with just drawing pencils too. Mentioned that to Anti.
@Tyranexx Yeah, I really like what DreamWorks did to the characters.
Alrighty, have fun at the "Friendmas" and enjoy the movie when you get around to it next week.
@Snatcher Yeah. That's why I love the Trolls from the movie series so much, DreamWorks made them really cute and have personalities. Poppy's upbeat positive spirit is one of the reasons why I like her so much, and she just looks adorable. Yet, they still have that signature hair. I'd say it's a case where the redesigns were better than the originals.
Fun part, DreamWorks actually owns the rights to the old "Good Luck Trolls" ever since making the Trolls movie. It's even a running gag in the series. The two holiday specials and an episode of the Netflix cartoon pokes fun at the old Troll toys in humorous ways.
@MarioLover92 Drawing looks great. Pretty much, I've seen many compare it to such, some even recommend the series to those who like Pokemon, but want something different. Also, the themes are much darker, you're dealing with demons, and a post apocalyptic world with its own story to tell. I still get goosebumps from one of the twists in SMT IV. It's really a cool experience.
@Anti-Matter Right now, just watching the Times Square ball drop (a tradition here in northeast US), and playing some games while listening to some Christmas music (I want to enjoy it a bit longer, I love Christmas music so I start early and end late with it). That's about it at the moment, I'll see if anything else happens tomorrow.
@Sunsy Thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I'm hoping to have another out by next month, which is that hot chocolate one I mentioned earlier.
Ah that's cool, I think my brother would like the SMT and Persona games as well. I did tell him about the new one on Switch one time, which was SMT V.

I have reached Malcolm Mansion in The Sims Bustin' Out PS2. 😀
Just a little bit more missions to get level 10 on all seven different jobs then i finished all the missions in The Sims Bustin' Out (i still have 1 unfinished mission at Toane Gym to have party at Dudley trailer and talked to everybody).
Edit: Phew...
I have finished all the missions at Malcolm Mansion. 😄
I moved back to Toane Gym as i still have one more mission to be finished.
Between COVID work craziness and standard life craziness I haven't been posting too much lately, but I do hope everyone has a safe and happy new year 😁 I haven't come up with a New Year's resolution yet but I'm between 'do more yoga' and 'learn how to play an instrument'.

Give me a heads-up if you're going to send a request please.
Happy New Year everyone, I hope this outgoing one's brought lessons and triumphs alike. I got some excellent stuff for Christmas, including enough money to buy both the Smash Fighters' Pass Vol. 2, and Hyrule Warriors: AoC's Expansion Pass, plus Final Fantasy VII for some old school goodness. Plus a Series 6 Apple Watch, so I can monitor my heart rate during 2022's F1 races.
I remember how my heart was almost punching a hole in my chest in Abu Dhabi! @WoomyNNYes do make that your New Year's Resolution!
2021's ended with massive change on my end; I now main Pyra and Mythra for Smash. Not just because they're from Xenoblade 2 but also because they have a really satisfying moveset and some REALLY aggressive voice acting! The remixes aren't great though...
@Tyranexx Precisely, I was putting some slow but sure development work into "Midgar". Appropriate considering my newest game purchase but I'm atrocious at naming things, it applies to Monster Hunter as well. Your astute observations have been paid back in full, I'm excited to hear your thoughts on the game as you go on. Chapter 2 had a mesmerising ending cutscene, with Pyra blowing the fire embers into the sky. Cinematics were pretty good in that one but I imagine you've been though Chapter 3 a bit, which IMO is one of the best chapters. I believe the following numbered chapters are the best, story and cinema-wise: 3, 6, 9. Torna's a masterpiece, and IMO I enjoyed it more than the main game!
XC2's style was as you put it, jarring. Considering how weak the Wii U is, seeing a game as good looking as X was mind blowing. Both X and 2 have more radical approaches that cater to an extreme, which are exploration/combat and then more traditional RPG elements, respectively. X's gameplay aspects were just amazing though, and I really wish the Skells come back at some point. Honestly, the combat in 2 is mega simplified too. Just three arts plus "Talents". Makes for less nuance but it means there's lots of linearity in how you do it. DE was fine because most characters had over a dozen arts to pick from, and X was just insane with all the class options, but 2's so... narrow.
You failed the first fight? Didn't expect that but it wasn't the easiest one. I noticed with games like FFVII, they don't hold your hand at all. No tutorials, and combat just throws you in from the start. Games nowadays are more conscious of being played by people of ranging ability, so they need to be less subtle. I played NieR Replicant today too, and that game had a self-contained battle with small stakes and minimal tutorials. Contrasting for sure. I did manage to avoid getting Rotbart-ed in the first game but in X and 2 wasn't so lucky. I got one-shotted by both enemies on sight and it made crossing Gormott a bit harder than I imagined!
Nopon can be seen as representations of capitalism. Greedy, selfish and volatile. Some good guys in the business but most are drowned out by the baddies. Ironic the sketchy Nopon's called Bana, huh?.

@TheJGG Oh, yeah. As predicted, my brother was watching the Abu Dhabi race a few nights ago via his dvr.(My brother catches up on F1 races over christmas/new years break.) So, all that drama was new to him. And we've been playing a bit of Forza Horizon 5, and having a good time - playing it on his Xbox One. We take turns playing races, seeing who can get the fastest laps in the races, and so on. Or, last night I discovered a seasonal christmas event in-game, where the stadium was filled with a ice rink inside, with candy cane poles & christmas trees to hit, and you get points and achievements for drifting and being a nut in a car (we were using a ken block ford rally car, we don't have many cars yet, but it does a decent job).
Happy New Year 2022 !
Greeting from Indonesia. 🇮🇩
And i was playing ACNH to participate in countdown to year 2022.

@tekoii Like Siiiiick Bro!!! sick?🤔🤔 Or like, cough, cough, I feel like garbage sick?(😉😁) Jk. Sorry to hear, man. You don't have to answer which kind of sick. Glad you're feeling better<3
Christmas night at my brother's, my neck glands were sore, and I was worried I was coming down with something. Fortunately, I never got sick. I used to get a cold or sinus infection every year around winter/spring (maybe that was the workplace). Since covid has changed my habbits, now I haven't been sick since 2019. Granted, it's not great to go so long not-getting-sick. Hopefully my immunity isn't terrible as a result.
I was able to snag a Zelda phone ring from My Nintendo and it arrived today! I've never had any phone accessory or anything before but it seems pretty cool. I haven't put it on yet.
I wish I knew that Club Nintendo existed when it was around, from what I've seen, it's just My Nintendo but better.
