Oh, I still don't have Switch Sports.
Kinda disappointed for no Boxing on it.
Currently I'm playing Epic Chef on PS4.
I have reached the 111th day in the game, keep building my Restaurant prestige level to 40 to continue the storyline.

Okay...
I still got hyped with Epic Chef PS4.
I have defeated Chef Anzashi this afternoon with very High Sophistication level foods and have reached level 44 for Restaurant Prestige.
Still a lot of things to do, from upgrade the star ratings from certain customers to 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ , upgrade the rank for Cooking Battle to increase the Restaurant Prestige as well and keep supplying rare seafoods as they have better flavor points and multiplier.

Some bizzare food I cooked from Epic Chef PS4. I used Unicorn Delight (You know what is that mean) as the 3rd ingredient to multiply the Sophistication points.

It looked so beautiful in pink color, the puree that made of Unicorn Delight. 😆
Okay, who want to eat that food ? 🤪🤣
But it has high Sophistication point though. (144 points)

@Anti-Matter Oooo, "poop puree", is very sophisticated. 🧐🙃 Nice work, Anti! Is the avatar in that screenshot reacting to the dish? It looks disappointed. 😁

@WoomyNNYes
Oh, that was Zest normal face.
Zest is the main character in Epic Chef.
His face changes depend on what activities I done with other peoples.
His face will looked very happy after hanging around with other peoples in place like bar.
But after sleeping (Saving the game), his face will back to normal like that.

@Anti-Matter So, unicorn poop, I think I've seen it all now. Also that aroma counter is funny

@Sunsy Pretty sure that SML1 was the first Game Boy game that I had as well. Balloon Kid sounds like a decent game then, I think I recall seeing it on a YouTube video once.

Oh that's awesome you got to play Daytona USA - it's such a good game. I adore the music as well! My local arcade had Mario Kart Arcade GP, but it's only the first one. It's a decent game for sure, though I had some trouble with the controls. Never played its sequels.

Thanks for the tip! I'll have to get a spare USB drive sometime then, I have quite a few Steam games so it'd be handy to make backups for all of them just in case.

@reporterdavid Good to hear that you're ok. I've played the Switch Sports online play test, but that's it. If they add more sports that I'd dig (more sports from Wii Sports Resort would be fantastic), I may pick it up. When they add golf, all three of my favorites from the first Wii Sports would be here - tennis, bowling, and golf.

The ori chase scene music is top notch. I haven’t played the games in months and I still find myself humming them.

Shorts weather is here, rode some pumptrack today with the bike for a couple hours, got a little air, got some sun (vitamin D). I love the whirring sound of tire tread as you whip around the bowl corners. I rode until my legs were jello. So easy to work up some sweat when you're having fun.

Gave my niece Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga (digital - my brother's family prefers digital) for the Switch for her birthday, which is Cinco De Mayo. Actually, while I was out riding, a picture text arrived of my Niece at the restaurant. My sister in law had printed the Lego Skywwalker Saga box art on a full piece of paper and had cut it into pieces, making it a puzzle. The pieces were in a card, and she had to put the puzzle together (while waiting for food at the restaurant) to see what her present was. Pretty slick idea.

@TheJGG Has F1 raced Miami Florida before? I'm not aware they raced there before.

@reporterdavid Glad to hear it. No, afraid I don't have Switch Sports.

@MarioLover92 So far, I'm liking Balloon Kid, honestly, it's making me want to play Balloon Fight. Think I might have to try it on the NES NSO app.

It is, I played the arcade version, and I have the Dreamcast version, which is usually called Daytona USA 2001, honestly, it's one of the best versions of the game out there. Thinking about kart racing arcade machine, I remember a movie theater had a Nicktoons Racing machine. I never played that one on PC or PlayStation, but I did have the GBA version which was pretty much a mode-7 racer.

Yeah, usually you go to the Steam menu, choose restore/backup, and you can choose to make backups that can fit onto CD-R, DVD-R, or custom for USB sticks or other drives. Games are restored via the same menu. It's a useful feature Steam has.

@Sunsy Whoa I never knew steam had that feature (too bad I deleted steam for PC performance reasons)

@WoomyNNYes That sounds like a really creative way of doing a surprise gift.

@Kermit1 Yeah, I use to use it a lot years ago in my old town where I had slow DSL speeds. Helped with bigger games as it would just install off a disc I backed up the game to, the only downloads I would have to worry about were the updates. Still requires Steam, but still a useful tool.

@WoomyNNYes Correct; F1 is at Miami for the first time, at the Hard Rock Miami Dolphins stadium. It's meant to be a hybrid between a street track and a circuit. I'm personally excited for it. Could be a very entertaining race. It's on a 10 year deal anyway so... not much's gonna happen even if it's a bore.

Excited for it? It should be in a better time zone for you.

Hoosha...!
Some progress from my Epic Chef PS4 gameplay.
I got some tough chefs to be challenged from Nyarian League and Culinary League to raise my Restaurant Prestige at least 50 points to continue the storyline as I cannot wait to get more new ingredients like Gomera (Giant Turtle) and Dragon egg.
Nyarian place was the best place to quick leveling the Vigor/ Spirit / Sophistication level for Zest by x2.5 for each gathering activities.
I still have difficulty to use sauces which multiply certain flavor point by 2x as I still didn't see the result. Maybe I need to know the method to multiplty the flavor points by sauces from YouTube.

@TheBladeOfRoses Yes it is. I have a copy and it is a standard edition.

It is a package where you get Dying Light the game with a box AND a case. Stickers. Survival Guide - which is a booklet with useful info. A map of the game.

@TheBladeOfRoses Yep. Germany have those super weird ban and censoring laws

My version of Half-Life 2 (German) had all the blood in the game to be black and not red. I bought it second hand and I did not know about this. Later I found normal copy And after that I am not buying German version of any game

Am I crazy to think these two songs sound the same at parts.

@Kermit1 I can see how their sounds cross wires in the mind.
(video 2 doesn't display for me. Don't know if it's regional. Using the quote button, I see it points to Prince 1999)

@WoomyNNYes I think it is a regional video, oddly. (Rad extreme biking video, btw)

After finishing Sifus secret ending today I think I realized that I actually find it sad to finish games I really like, don’t get me wrong I can still do more stuff, but it makes me wish I could do it all over again.Also I hope you all are having a great day.
