Guys. Something incredible happened.

I saw a mobile game ad, where the “person in danger that can only be saved by solving a puzzle” actually survived 😨

I didn’t know it was possible for the people that make these ads to actually let the “player” succeed during them.

@Eel I've I've seen an ad where the puzzle solution was super obvious, and they say, "could you solve it!?", or "get the treasure!?". But, maybe I'm thinking of an mobile game ad I saw on TV here in the us.

@Eel Its a bad omen I tell you!

Weird thing to me for the few bits of trailers I've seen for mobile games is what they show is nothing like the actual game....

@Snatcher 😱

@BruceCM @WoomyNNYes mobile ads are such a weird phenomenon, they really do enjoy lying about the nature of their game. Gardenscapes is an even weirder case because I have only played the original 3DS game and it's like this posh and serious hidden object game, but the mobile ads are just awkward

@TheJGG yeah Xenoblade.

@MarioLover92 no problemo. have a nice evening

So found out today that because my mother was a dumba$$ I might lose my house. Thank you mom you worthless piece of crap.

@Tasuki that's not a fun chapter. Hope it will be fixed!

Hokey *** @Tasuki What happened to make you say such a thing? ( you don’t have to tell us if you don’t want to) I hope for the best.

@Eel Remember when they were actually good.

@Link-Hero Oh, what I mean is what would make you say something about said person, because someone would have to do something pretty messed up/annoying/stupid, to get you to say things like that I think, even if it wasn't there parent I would still ask.

But like you said full right. Sounds like they did something pretty messed up as welll.

@Snatcher @Link-Hero She didn't listen to me when I told her over and over that she needed to have a will for when she pass on. She kept telling me it's to depressing and I don't want to think about that. Look I get it people don't want to think of their own death but obviously she didn't care about my brother or me.

Basically what happened was the house she owned burned down last year. We continued to pay insurance so that part is good. We'll now because she didn't have a will we can't get the insurance money due to legal reasons. The clean up company now want their money which we have but it's frozen due to legal reasons. I told the company this but they don't care now they put a lean on the house, well.property to have it foreclosed on so they can get their money. I am trying to block it but it doesn't look good. So basically the county will sell off the property give the clean up crew the money they are owed and my brother and I get the rest. But it will leave use homeless. All because my mom didn't listen.

@Tasuki Wow, so her thinking about her death that would happen one day, it happens to all of us, was just too much to think about to the point she rather the chance the worse happen to you, wow, just wow. I'm so sorry this is happening to you, I give you my prayers.

(Sorry if I'm overstepping here, just tell me if I am)

@Kermit1 You should make a thread for it, so it doesn't clutter up this one.

@tekoii The Layton games are charming and very enjoy if you like puzzles! Fair warning: the two 3DS entries are parts two and three of the prequel trilogy, with part one being The Last Specter/Spectre's Call on the DS. The original trilogy on the DS had no in-game continuity, but there are loose links between the prequels. I haven't played Azran Legacy just yet, but so far I believe the link to Last Specter might be negligible. Or at least to where you wouldn't have to track that one down. Stay tuned!

@MarioLover92 Long story short, I think I contracted either a stomach bug or a bout of food poisoning. Or just system overload from a food filled Easter weekend lol. I'm feeling mostly better today, but yesterday I was running a low grade fever and not on a lot of sleep. I did work from home - even that was rough - but a power nap over my lunch helped me through.

Snow huh? It's been cold and rainy here, though we did have a bit of snow very early this month. Those early games were great at milking out longevity with false difficulty, huh? XD I still can't play many 8-bit platformers from that era sans Mario & Co. Though some of the 16-bit platformers were a pain too. I'm looking at you, Disney.

@TheJGG The trailer definitely helped turn a bleh day - thanks stomach illness - into less of one. The Ouroboros forms look like a nice mixup, and the playable characters all look fun too. Have I mentioned I'm glad that Nopon are returning? I also can't wait to dig into the OST when it all inevitably hits the net.

I was pleasantly surprised when they decided to move the release date up. It bumps out both Live A Live and Digimon Survive for the top spot in my book. I should be able to finish Torna by then, plus the game is releasing early enough that I'm not too worried it'll interfere with my traditionally busy fall.

I admit, I'm not very happy that it's via the My Nintendo store since the experience can be... middling. I'm worried that preorders will go up and sell out before I catch wind of them. Special editions like going up in the middle of my work day.

@Tasuki That...is a sad deal, one of those fraught with legal insanity. The cleanup company can't wait? Is there a way to show them proof? I realize the very subject of wills can be depressing, but that's no reason to put them off. Heck, I'm thinking of having a basic will made even though I'm in decent health.

@Snatcher Basically that's it. To me it just an act of selfishness.

@Kermit1 Yep.

@Tasuki That’s what was going through my mind when I read it, it was just selfish.

@Tyranexx I have exchanged phone calls, emails, zoom meeting with the clean up company and in the end the won't budge. They want their money and legally they can put a lean on the property and get their money that way.

My only saving grace right now is seeing if I can get a loan from a bank pay off the cleanup company that way and once the money from insurance is unfrozen pay off the loan. Like I said I have the money it's just frozen.

@Snatcher Right, as I said I can understand thinking about your own death is scary but as the saying goes two things in life that are inevitable death and taxes. I have a son and if I owned property I would have got a will just to make sure he was taken care of when I am gone. In fact if I get through this I will be doing that.

@Tasuki The fear is perfectly understandable, what’s not understandable is how someone could think screwing over there own kid when they die is somehow better then not thinking about it? Like it’s going to happen, so make sure they have a good life when your gone, but noooo, I rather them suffer because I didn’t want to think about it for a bit right before I get back to my old life. It’s going to happen anyway, glad your not going to go down her same path.

You would think that would give you peace, knowing your kid is going to be fine, guess not to her.
