Yeah, I think the reason an engineer has to come out is to run the fibre across, @Tyranexx .... The previous tenant must have had some internet, after all
But the guy in the flat above had 1 out doing it for his & he said he'd been there for years, so I'm sure he hasn't only just got internet at all
It's already showing in my Virgin Media account as being the better broadband at the right amount, with a note about the 6 months as well Since they seem to encourage people to get apps to monitor the WiFi, it must be legit & obviously I'll be sure to check occasionally
My O2 SIM should arrive tomorrow & the email says I can start using that immediately. Fortunately, I'd finished the fixed term on my SIM only contract, so gave them the 2 weeks notice for that

@Kermit1
Arlo, cares Kermit, arlo cares

@blindsquarel Yes, Yes he does.

I just finished my version of the Merman from Castlevania 1

Okay, about Dodgeball Academia PS4.
Currently my team have reached level 20 in Episode 3 and I saved my last position inside school toilet to exploit $15.00 from a boy student which you can challenge him anytime to get instant $15.00 as the reward. 😁

Hiya ! 😃
My updated progress about Dodgeball Academia PS4.

The game was actually pretty short.
I have reached Episode 5 from 8 in one day (8 hours gameplay by total) and there was an Option to adjust the Damage taken and Damage dealt from 0% to 100%.
By changing Damage taken = 0% and Damage Dealt = 100%, I instantly made my team become invincible, No damage taken at all and it turned the game become extremely super easy. It was a benefit but also made the whole gameplay become pretty boring with that adjustment.
Also, every episodes there were some challengers like in Pokemon games waiting for you for Dodgeball battle and they were become tougher every episode. Thank goodness I have adjusted the damage taken to 0% since I have tendency to play games casually so I will not worry about losing my HP. Because I have adjusted the damage taken to 0%, so All the recovery items practically became useless since I will not taking any damage and the only useful items are the items that will upgrade your parameter permanently (Strength, Agility, Technique).
I will continue the progress tomorrow.

@Zuljaras That looks amazing!!!!

@Kermit1 thank you

Late replies because got caught up playing some games this weekend. Mostly the classic PC game Magic Carpet (a game by Bullfrog, the ones behind the Theme series, you play as a wizard on a magic carpet using spells to fight monsters, build a castle, and collect mana), some games of Apex arenas and Mario Kart.

My family specifically had a Macintosh Performa 6116CD, if you wish to look at the specs. Though I do believe we added more RAM later on, specifically to play Toy Story Activity Center.

I've been doing good. Hope things are good with you.

I'm happy Jenny is in the new DLC, but really disappointed over Hugh Neutron. I loved Jimmy Neutron during its heyday, honestly, it's disappointing since I watched the show because I liked Jimmy himself, and the adventures he went on.

Was a huge Jimmy Neutron fan way back in 2002-2007, to the point of wearing Jimmy Neutron shirts almost everyday.

My Life as a Teenage Robot, was truly underrated, so great to see Nickelodeon acknowledge it more. last time I remember Jenny being in something was Nicktoons Attack of the Toybots on Wii, which also featured Rocko and Jimmy Neutron.

So far, I enjoy Chronicles of Mystara. Friend and I even played it online and cleared it. Sounds like a plan, more recently I did play Kirby Super Star again as it was NSO's featured game for platinum points. Use to have the SNES cart.

Enjoy it when you see it. Most recent Disney thing I saw was the Phineas and Ferb movie on Disney+, I use to watch the show and was reminded, I can watch that movie now, lol.

@Anti-Matter Awesome, and no prob man! I did look up Epic Chef and it looks pretty cool. I do love cooking and the world of cookery. Just a lot of games to play you know? Most of the time the games I do play, I stream. When I casual game, its mostly games that don't have progression in terms of story and things, say like Rocket League or Smash Bros (though it does have world of light). It feels like if I play them casually, I lose the experience of playing it on stream and sharing my experience with others. These days I tend to prefer shorter but awesome games! Though from what I've seen on steam, Epic Chef looks pretty neat! For one random thing, I need more rhythm games for me Switch xD!

@TheJGG Ahh.. It totally works with the vibe you were going for! It does sound a bit creepy. Thanks, I do try to see the subtleties in things at times. Geez, that is some serious compositional work, being 17 minutes long. Course man, let me know when it's ready

@Sunsy Haha... you and me both! Oh and nice, I love when games intro you to music. Funny enough there was this Final Fantasy fan game called FF Endless Nova, and I always loved the 8bit tune that played in the main menu. Years later I found out that its actually a song called Duvet. Yea.. no need if you got most of the stuff. Nice, good work in RR! Give Pokemon Unite a chance, I'm down to play! I'll try to let yall know when I'm gonna play some games!

@Tyranexx Yeesh! See, but it's good to have lots to do sometimes! Ahh.. I somehow gravitate toward the title of Miracle Mask with its pleasant name. I feel like I'll end up not seeing the twist as per usual xD. Ahh... I see, I take it though that you're having fun with the games? Hmm... the one on the Switch is kinda like separate right?

@MarioLover92 Ahh I hear ya, on that skill based grind rn. Bah really? I love assist trophies and pkmn, they add so many characters and variety to the game. Though, I do get that sometimes it gets a bit crazy but hey at least we got best of both worlds with the toggles! Lmao, about Palkia. Oh nice, it's good every now and again to get back to Smash, specially with the friendlies!

Today is 16 May 2022.
Happy Vesak Day.

Um, I'm stuck in ace attorney ok, so I'm at the early part in chapter 4 where you first go to gourdy beach, and it's not showing up (gourdy beach) for me in the move option

@Anti-Matter what is Vesak Day? Regardless, thank you and Happy Vesak Day to you!

@cordova94
Vesak day is celebrate the birth, enlightenment and death (parinibbāna) of Gautama Buddha in Buddhist.

Never mind, I fixed the problem..

@Sunsy @Tyranexx @TheJGG @Losermagnet Sorry for the late reply, it's good to see you guys! I missed the site haha.

By the way, anyone's planning to get Mario Strikers? Do you think that it will be fun and varied enough enough to play online frequently?

I'm passing on pretty much any game for now until Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Live A Live, and Digimon Survive all release in late July. I'm quite set on titles and want to work on my backlog a bit.

...I also didn't just buy both Tales of Vesperia and Paper Mario: The Origami King for the Switch. Nope, not at all. <.< >.>

@MarioLover92 Many shooters at the time were a mess of muddy browns and grays, so I didn't find them visually appealing either. Visuals aren't dealbreakers for me by any means, but they do help separate others out from the pack. I also didn't have the best experience with a mode in the first Call of Duty: Black Ops since I was thrown in blind against a team of CPUs lol. I do like Street Fighter II...most of its incarnations anyway. Though I won't pretend I'm an expert at the game.

I think you've hit on why I like many entries in the Mario series: How distinct they can be from each other. Gameplay all the way, though I can't recommend the main series for its plot elements lol. At least some titles like Super Mario 3D World tried to change around the "Bowser kidnaps Peach" trope.

@Snatcher Yep! Well, according to the internet. I'm strictly on the Android phone ecosystem, so I can't confirm, but this page seems to indicate the game still exists.

@Anti-Matter Glad to know Epic Chef is on the Switch. That makes sense that the PC version will perform better compared to consoles, depending on system specifications. I appreciate the walkthrough video and guide links! I'm completely fine with using walkthroughs and hints as long as they don't spoil any plot elements a game might have.

@BruceCM Must be a relatively new fiber installation all around then? If I'm following. Sounds like your setup is all legit. I caution people when dealing with ISPs since my previous one used to run a monopoly in my area and just didn't care. Overpriced, atrocious speeds during high traffic hours (lines were oversold), adding a "surcharge fee" for something or other every year or so.....I'm glad to be off of them.

@Sunsy Wow, I'm pleased that you could give me the exact model; most people struggle to answer that question when I ask! I looked up the specs, and they appear pretty standard for the time...but definitely minuscule by today's standards!

@tekoii Miracle Mask is very much worth experiencing, even with an out-of-genre section that seems a bit rudimentary...but this is from a Zelda fan who's been spoiled by dungeon crawling. I quite enjoy the Layton series. Layton's Mystery Journey on the Switch is self-contained and perfectly playable whenever...though it occurs some time (years) after the other games.

Figured I'd tie in my (brief) response for the discounts & deals thread (since we're getting off-topic) here: I'd dearly love for Monolith to port over XCX, and I don't think it's impossible...just not very likely. Hopefully the current Xenoblade titles continue to do well, and MAYBE they'll rethink not porting it.

@Tyranexx I also have yet to play Tales of Vesperia depite of buying it years ago haha, it's the game I have delayed the most. Oh, and I'm also waiting for Survive, I'm a huge Digimon fan and this strategy-visual novel combination looks really promising. I even have some V Pets.

@Anti-Matter oh that is lovely! Thanks for sharing (and teaching me) and a very Happy Vesak Day to you! <3

@tekoii Yeah, it's nice when games introduce you to music. That sounds nice. BTW, before the Monstercat battle pass ended, I made it to battle pass level 26 (out of 30). Got a lot of cosmetic items just for 500 crystals. Though had to play a lot, 3x week helped a lot. Will do if I ever decide to give it a try.

@roy130390 I don't have any plans to get Super Mario Strikers at the moment. Currently, the only game I'm planning to get, as silly as it sounds, My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure. I liked the previous generation of My Little Pony, as well as the newer movie this game is based off of, and always wanted a game based on it, so looking forward to it.

I still like playing cartoon based games, while most of them are on mobile, I miss playing these kind of console and PC games. Honestly, Smurfs: Mission Vileaf is one of my favorite games from last year. They did a nice job making a great licensed game.

@Tyranexx Yeah, I used that Mac so much as a kid, I know the exact model name from memory. Yeah, I imagine that's what the specs were. I didn't try other computers until middle school, where they had Windows. My elementary school years, it was all Mac computers.
