I have some anomaly here.
I could continue my progress of Transformers Battleground PS4 until almost reaching Act IV like have no doubt but still haven't continue my progress of Mario + Rabbids that still at the beginning part.
Take a note, both of them have identical gameplay style.

Oh, today is Eid-al Adha day in my country. The cows and the goats will be sacrificed for feeding a lot of peoples. Speaking about meats, what is your favorite meat dishes? (I personally prefer vegetarian dishes)

@Anti-Matter Homemade Steak Bites/w BBQ sauce, yum

Only now did I remember to change my signature to my current Let's Play instead of the one from ****ing 2019. And thankfully this one doesn't have audio in episode 1 that's so bad it partially needs subtitles. (low bar)

I am glad, despite everything, to make videos again. I'm not as passionate about making them as I used to be, but there's at the very least, some things where I'd be angry at myself for if I never made them after I've already made so many videos before.

I was shocked to learn about former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe's assassination this morning. That was certainly out of nowhere. I also entirely forgot about that Olympic ceremony where he stood on a warp pipe and wore a Mario hat.

@Kermit1 I know, right? Those starter set figures look a little too close to Minecraft for my liking. I was hoping for figures more akin to the normal little LEGO people.

@MarioLover92 I'd almost say Undertale is closer to Earthbound Beginnings/Mother 1 due to the graphics...based on screen shots anyway. I still need to pick up Pokemon Legends: Arceus. I just wrapped up Brilliant Diamond a couple of months ago and decided to take a Poke-break lol. I haven't played New Pokemon Snap, but I have played/did enjoy the N64 original. Though only via the Wii U VC.

I've heard that Sticker Star isn't as terrible as the internet makes it out to be, but it is supposedly a worse version of Color Splash...at least when it comes to the battle system. That's why I'm reluctant to pick up SS unless I can find it really cheap somewhere. What REALLY irked me about the card system was there's an enemy in the game that can make them all vanish in the right conditions...I couldn't do ANYTHING in that battle. It was enough to make me reload from my last save point. Goodbye progress. I've also heard some complaints about the game's Roshambo temples, but I never really did those.

OH, that's chilling! That brings me back down to planet Earth.

@Tyranexx
I like the Sticker Stars and I finished that game since year 2014 (bought the game in year 2013).
For me, the Sticker system was like FF VIII Magics system. It can be tricky but if you have the right stickers, the battle can be easy enough to handle. Also, I love the Things as Summon like on Final Fantasy. They are kinda like Ra / Ga magic spells if they have levels for example Sewing Scissors = Zantetsuken lv 1, Barber Scissors = Zantetsuken lv 2, Scissors = Zantetsuken lv 3, Tailor Shears = Zantetsuken lv 4.

My new profile picture is by @Sparrow5579 an awesome artist! (I was going to put @Sparrow5579 in my description but I maxed out the letters already)

Japan’s a reasonably safe place with little to no arms related violence or death, so Abe’s death definitely had a bigger impact.

@TheJGG Its really crazy how everyone reacted, it was so surprising, and I don’t blame them at all.

@Kermit1
Nice. 👍

@Kermit1 looks good as your profile picture 👍 really happy you like it 👍

I have large collection of video games and I have to take care all of them.

Decided to write large reviews for every Studio Ghibli film I've seen so far. Which is 10. Document's 15 pages so far.

... man I really don't wanna write about Ponyo. I have almost nothing to say on that one.

@Anti-Matter The battle system in Color Splash wasn't bad per se, but it was definitely flawed. I've heard it's an improvement from Sticker Star in almost every way. I think some of the internet ire is from people who absolutely adored the first two Paper Mario titles and were expecting more of the same when Super Paper Mario rolled around on the Wii. I personally really enjoyed it for its story, music, and characters, but some don't like SPM because of its platforming gameplay. Those out of both camps seemed to generally not like Sticker Star since they felt it was generic. Again, I haven't played SS, but those are the impressions I've gleaned over time. I haven't written off the game, it just isn't a huge priority for me to pick up.

I do agree that Thing cards were fun in Color Splash (SS had them too?). They were gimmicky but deliciously overpowered lol.

@Tyranexx Super Paper Mario was my first Mario game. I love it

@TheJGG ponyo is visually impressive. You could start with that.

@Eel I forgot I've seen that film once, so that means I've seen 4 Studio Ghibli films.

Today was a good day! Went to see Minions: The Rise of Gru with the girlfriend for our month-aversary and she surprised me with Assassin's Creed 2 for the Switch

Btw the movie was fantastic! I love both Minions movies and the 3 Despicable me movies

I heard there were hordes of teenagers going to the theatres to watch that movie wearing tuxedos.

To the point where some theaters banned unaccompanied children wearing formal attire.

@Eel Minions are love, minions are life!
