@Sunsy Yeah. I have quite a few memories with the grand prix mode too, and haven't played battle mode nearly as much, lol. Always raced a ton more myself. Partially because in the earlier Mario Kart games, battle mode was exclusively multiplayer. I do remember playing battle mode with an online friend of mine in Mario Kart Wii though.

@Fizza Dude that's awesome and your profile looks great! (I'm glad I was influential ) I gave you a follow over there!

@Vortexeo I feel honoured

I signed up for No Gravity's newsletter and I don't have my free game code yet and it's been 4 hours.

@Tremblucay @Anti-Matter

Well, the NASA out one new image from james webb space telescope. Um... my initial reaction is, it looks like the Hubble deep field image, but with a crap-ton more gravitational lense-ing. They didn't really give out any details about it. I'm guessing interesting things are lurking in there, they have yet to be explained.

Obviosuly, more JWST first images come tomorrow.

@WoomyNNYes
The galaxies looked very close each other despite they are separated very far away.

@WoomyNNYes that looks almost fake... IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!!

@WoomyNNYes
It's a gorgeous image. Here's the official explanation:

"The image shows the galaxy cluster SMACS 0723 as it appeared 4.6 billion years ago. The combined mass of this galaxy cluster acts as a gravitational lens, magnifying much more distant galaxies behind it. Webb’s NIRCam has brought those distant galaxies into sharp focus – they have tiny, faint structures that have never been seen before, including star clusters and diffuse features. Researchers will soon begin to learn more about the galaxies’ masses, ages, histories, and compositions, as Webb seeks the earliest galaxies in the universe."

Edit 2: ok, I need to get this of my chest. That was a horrible, laughable presentation. First of all, they were over an hour late. Then Harris and Biden went on and on how important this was. And then they finally showed the image and some random guy who clearly didn't know what he was talking about spoke for 2 minutes, and that was it? I mean, come on! They didn't even give us a proper explanation of what the image was showing. The guy said it was an image looking 13 billion years in the past, which I instantly knew couldn't be correct. The official notes on the image confirmed my suspicion.
This was a joke.

It looks like glitter on black velvet.

Very retro.

The retro glitter looking galaxies remind me of this Kylie Minogue video clip.

@Tremblucay You're talking about Bill Nelson, NASA administrator, I think. I don't disagree. XD. He was a congressman & lawyer, who does political stuff for nasa, basically. Congress is SO boring, nobody who dedicates their life science want's those jobs. Thus, someone like Bill Nelson.

Here's bill nelson, nasa admistrator, speaking about the ground breaking JWST image, without any details explaining unique things in the picture. (maybe that's harsh, but he kind of told everybody general stuff we already know.) 💤💤💤😴

@WoomyNNYes the video is not available in Canada lol

@Kermit1 Apparently it's too boring for canada, too. They want to prevent people from gouging out their eyes due to the boredome. I'll rip the video and, see if I can post it in my youtube to share. it is boring though. (i'm curious if it will let me. maybe it wont).

@WoomyNNYes zzzZZZzzzZZZzzzZZZzzz... OOO space

I can see it and I'm bored

@Kermit1 Tomorrow is when NASA, and maybe European Space Agency will reveal more, and probably give more explanations. Although, Canada may have also been involved creating james webb space telescope. A bunch of countries worked together.

=Eel]This is my cue to repeat that The Origami King start slows, but it’s a great game and I liked it a lot.

Duly noted. I'll keep this in mind.

@MarioLover92 Platinum is a step up in multiple ways over the originals. I still need to pick up Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Hopefully before too long....But my big purchase this month is Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

I'm definitely willing to give Origami King a shot. Several have stated that it's the best entry since Super Paper Mario. I'm not sure how I'll find combat, but the premise and origami characters are certainly interesting.

@BruceCM Sounds like the machine didn't recognize the main C drive, perhaps? Loose cable maybe? BIOS misfire/fluke? Dying HDD/SSD?

Edit: NVM, I saw your reply to Rambler.

@Fizza I encountered that scene a few months ago while during my first ever Partners In Time run. It made me snort on a plane. XD

@Anti-Matter you played a rhythm game blind folded, your good in my book!

@Kermit1
Thanks. 😀
During pandemic I couldn't go out and playing DDR Arcade and even on this year I have to limit my Mall visitation to avoid the risk of the virus spread. Bad news, I found only one DDR machine that still working after 2 years I didn't play DDR Arcade, the other one (DDR X3 Arcade) still unknown if the machine can be repaired or not. 🥺

Yeah, thanks for the thought, @Tyranexx ..... That time I was lucky to find the problem quickly but I'll be sure to ask here if I get something I can't sort out

After year and a half it is finally here!
