@WoomyNNYes That so-called "1080p image" is such cap it belongs in a hat shop.

Sorry I missed it before, @Sunsy .... but I'm glad you had a good one!

@Sunsy Sorry I'm late but I'm glad you had a fantastic birthday!

I'm making mushroom rice, and nearly forgot to add some garlic powder.

Crisis averted.

Some of you may know a Pokemon Youtuber by the name of CandyEvie. She makes great videos on things like obscure games/items, shiny hunting and just the weirdest things you can think of at times and it's a great watch all the time. Lately, she's been sending out hundreds of Magnemite's through BDSP Wonder Trade in memory of a self-promotion tactic she used back in BW2 (trust me, it makes a lot more sense when you watch her video on it), livestreaming the process as she does so. I was using the GWS to get rid of Corsola from a failed radar chain and breedjects from my current shiny Shroomish hunt. On the penultimate trade before signing off, I get a Magnemite from someone called Hector.... named YT:CandyEvie. Immediately recognising the name, I hurry to the summary page to make sure and, sure enough, the OT is 'Lucy', CandyEvie's trainer in-game.

Needless to say I am over the moon.

The Magnemite Coil was big during B2W2! I don't think she started it though, I believe it began in Japan.

Even I traded away several magnemites. Might do it again just for old time's sake.

I'll tell you something though: the GWS has been a godsend for me. I've gotten so many foreign mons with some of the best names possible (a Shinx called Not Imposter being the highlight so far) along with some absolutely insane breedjects in Love Ball 4IV Ralts and Moon Ball 5IV Jolly Gligar. And then, about 1 week ago, I got the crowning jewel of wonder trade: a Japanese Ditto. THE MASUDA METHOD STARTS NOW BABY.

@Tyranexx I remember the name of the magazine itself, but it's been years since I've read them so I kinda forgot what stuff they've covered. That's cool your mom got them from a fundraiser, I've done fundraisers in school long ago, except it was chocolate candies.

Oh I also wanna say that I got some Game Boy games from the 3DS eShop, including Wario Land 2 and 3. I wanna try to finish 2, then 3 - I've beaten the first one already, which I really liked. I've been recommended the Golden Sun games, I did hear that it's best to play both of the GBA ones if I start playing the first one. I've heard of them plenty of times, even while reading through Nintendo Power, though I never even touched them.

@Anti-Matter @Tyranexx @Losermagnet @TheJGG @BruceCM @chapu2006 Thank you for the birthday wishes!

@MarioLover92 It was, I don't think I ever had a character themed birthday aside from cake, I'm happy it was centered around Trolls and my favorite character, Poppy. I don't usually do parties, I usually keep it small and to family and a friend. That sounds like a nice birthday being Mario themed. Yeah, I usually ask for a game, but I wanted an eShop card this time because of the Mario Kart DLC.

I've been enjoying the channel, he goes into old versions of Windows, seeing what works on his $5 PCs, and goes into a bit of history on computers too. I think the first video I seen of his was when he was trying the Microsoft Internet Games, like Hearts and such, that were included in Windows, before their services were shut down.

Yeah, once I realized it wasn't a real timer, it was based on sequence, I could get to the door, and leave before it blows up with no problem. That's really.

I didn't know there was a Genesis counterpart to Turtles in Time. Think I saw the headline on the Saturn stuff, just haven't looked into it yet.

@Fizza That's really cool. I've heard of CandyEvie before, I think I've seen some of her videos.

Any cake left to send us, then, @Sunsy ....? I bet it's all gone!

@MarioLover92 I have both Golden Sun games waiting to be played but I just have too many games and too much side activities (like drawing, sculpting and coding) And I too have heard only good things about those games

@Link-Hero I had the epiphany yesterday, the 1080p pic is zoomed in, which is why the rock cliff background is so much more blurry, which adds to the deceptiveness of the photo/demo.

Actually, what IS that whole Magnemite Coil thing? Seems like I missed something big back in my B/W days.

@MarioLover92 I mostly just remember the comic strips in them and not much else, though those were what interested me anyway! My memory is foggy, but there was an occasional one related to Recess that I enjoyed.

I highly recommend both Wario Land II and Wario Land 3; they're two of the best games in the Wario Land platformers IMO, though it's hard to go wrong with any of the main five. There's a Virtual Boy release I haven't played though lol. II is my favorite of the bunch. The Golden Sun games are very good too, though be prepared for a LOT of reading lol. The reason it's recommended to play both the GBA entries is because Golden Sun: The Lost Age is actually the second half of the first game. Due to technical limitations at the time, the game was split into two releases/cartridges. The DS entry, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, doesn't quite reach the heights of the GBA entries but is still a decent game.

@MarioLover92 Great! Should be fun Still working up that thumbnail! It's getting better from the last time ya saw it! Details, details!

@Tyranexx Yea it's totally gimmicky.. but such great gimmick it is! YES! VM (not virtual machine lol) Kirby rocks at the soda can pelts! 🤪 Yea.. in total troves. The game's really making me a bigger fan. I definitely gotta go back and play some of the older games!

@Sunsy I'm just glad the Sonic movies are great, so when I do watch I'm bound to enjoy! I actually hopped back into Paladins for a bit on PC. It's a cool game, glad to have played it! I like using IO and Furia a lot. Also, course Glad you had a great time, especially with your friend throwing you a party! But hey we gotta play some more Mario Kart soon!!

I have an announcement... Sonic 2 was awesome. That is all.

@BruceCM Nope, still have some cake. The cool thing about it being a small group, I had some cake left, so it's been desert for the past couple of nights.

@tekoii Indeed, I saw the second one with a friend today (same friend who threw me the small Trolls party), and we both loved it. Awesome, I'm an Io main. I do decently as her healing teammates and keeping them alive. Funny, I thought I wouldn't like support, yet, Io is my favorite in Paladins and Lifeline is my favorite in Apex. We need to, I have the expansion pack now.

@Sunsy I genuinely thought you were about to say 'Shadow's a ***** **** **** *****', my mind has been trained to immediately think that whenever someone says those words XD.

Glad you liked it though! Haven't seen it myself yet but I saw the original in cinemas when it first came out and quite liked it so I might try and see the sequel as well. There's just too many movies coming out honestly.

@Fizza Nah, I'm not going to spoil it. You're not missing much, it was a 2 hour let's play of Sonic 2... by a really terrible player.

Joke aside, it is great and hope you enjoy it when you get to see it. It amazes me that last time I was in a theater was to see Sonic 1, here I am, first time back to a theater, and it's Sonic 2. Indeed, I'm currently looking forward to The Bad Guys next. Trolls 3 still remains my most anticipated, I just want to see my favorite trolls on the big screen the most. I wanted to see Trolls World Tour on the big screen, but couldn't because of obvious reasons. Still rented it day one though, did watch it multiple times that weekend.

It was fun though, it felt like a Sonic convention. Most there wore Sonic themed shirts and had plushies. I wore a Tails shirt and had a Tails plushie on me. It was a great seeing other fans.

@Sunsy
Oh, since you have watched Sonic 2, how long was the movie duration ?

So, it's all gone now, @Sunsy ....? According to Google, it's 122 minutes, @Anti-Matter, so just over 2 hours

@Anti-Matter I want to say around 2 hours, I think BruceCM went into specifics. Didn't see the time, and the tickets we had were digital (friend got his phone scanned for the two of us).

@BruceCM Just about, there's one piece left. Mom and I have been enjoying it.

@TheStardustWarrior It's been awhile since I've played Minecraft online with a friend, but I'm pretty sure you don't need Minecraft Realms for online multiplayer. You do need an Xbox Live account (free for non-Xbox players, though consoles still need their usual subs like NSO or PS+), but unless there's some change I'm unaware of, Realms isn't required.

It's as easy as creating a game, making sure it's set to online, and inviting friends IIRC. Like I said, been awhile since I've played. I use to play this with a friend on Xbox via cross-play (me being on Switch), we didn't have Realms.
