Well, this is Kermit1 signing off and unplugging his PC. See ya'll tomorrow with bad wifi.

@Kermit1 have fun!

@Tyranexx
I have different opinion about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC.
To see the way of Nintendo treating the DLC with incomplete tracks at the moment, it was like keep distracting us to think about Mario Kart 8 Deluxe again and I personally don't like this business strategy as I think my time for playing other games or finishing my backlogs are more important than waiting for uncertain time of getting the new tracks after several months.
It was not something interesting to wait.
I still have interest with the game but this treatment was really unnecessary and didn't make me get more hyped with the game.
Just drop all the new tracks for $25 then you can decide to buy the DLC or not.

Usually I keep defending Nintendo Switch on earlier years but on this year, I started to have second thought about some things happened on Nintendo Switch recently. The live service update, code in box treatments, partial download games are my biggest issue from Nintendo Switch.
And that was the reason I pick the PS4 / PS5 version of 3rd party multi console games than Switch version as I found some obvious downgrades from Switch version and it made me thinking about getting the PlayStation version for better performance.

Btw, I still keep playing Youtubers Life 2 on PS4 and it was interesting to see some Youtubers NPC in the game was based on actual Youtubers such as PewDieDie, LaurenZside, Crainer, etc as they are the part of storyline of Youtubers Life 2. It was interesting to see the huge difference from the first game with more different roles than the second game. The second games has gameplay similar as Harvest Moon games.
If you patient enough with Harvest Moon style games then Youtubers Life 2 is the game for you.

This is it! The greatest Classics collection of my absolute favorite franchise is here!

@Kermit1 Sorry, who's talking? Don't see anyone.

Don't worry, I'm just messing with you, you're more than grand! Trust me: I would be able to immediately notice if I couldn't see you

@Eel I was just in a car accident. Both our passenger side tires are completely gone. We hit a 4x4 piece of wood in the middle of the road. We were on a "bridge" right next to the highway and had to pull over with only a sliver of shoulder space so every car and truck felt like a brick going by.

Me my Mom and my brother are home now (again) are trip is postponed until my Dad gets back with the car later today. Also we got picked up by my uncle nd had to cram into his car and he drove us home, him and my Dad are at the autoshop now. I now know what it's like to get the wind knocked out of me for a split second.

I was on the side of the car that got hit. I'm fine. Thank God.

I was watching Seinfeld and I will forever see this image when I think of the crash.

I pray that no other damage is done to the car, we've spent enough money as it is and exchange rate and etc. have not been too fair.

Where I live there are 0 rental cars so that's not even on the books.

this will be a setback. at least I'm alive.

edit the next time I talk to you all I will hopefully be in a hotel in Halifax. I'm going to unplug my PC again.

@Rambler we did make a claim.

SLIGHT UPDATE we will be home for a few hours so I'll be on here for a while.

@Kermit1
Glad to hear everyone's OK.
I experienced a traffic accident as well, so I know how terrifying it can be.

@seaboyluca I was scared but then my brain went south and I was chill oddly.

my pov

after the bump

@Kermit1 That must have been terrifying, glad to hear you're OK.

@Zuljaras i JUST bought castlevania lords of shadow mirror of fate for 3ds yesterday as I'm trying to fill my wii u and 3ds catalog before the closures.

@Kermit1
Gosh! 😨
That was terrible.
Glad you are still okay.

To be honest that's the first time in my life for a split second I felt alive and scared and winded at the same time, I'd never want to do that again but that adrenaline was like a kick to my senses.

for once something happens in my boring life and I could have died...

@Kermit1 Sorry to hear about your experience. Hope you're feeling better.

Cars are more dangerous than people realized. I remember being in a discussion about plane crash statistics vs. car accidents. I remember that, someone said car accidents occur more frequently because the potential for human error is much higher (especially if you account for road-rage).

But it's why I'll never drive, because I'm a walking can of errors with my anxiety disorder.

I think that, even though it's a cliché, "time heals all wounds" rings true to some extent for such traumatic incidents. I've had my share of near-death experiences before, including huge loss of blood when a bully hit my head with a recorder (musical instrument) in Primary Three (or third grade). Try to take it slow and easy, and I wish you the best.

@NintendoByNature I also love the Lords of Shadow saga despite many CV fans hating it

Mirror of Fate on the 3DS is quite the achievement but we know what MercurySteam are capable of! (with their latest Metroid entries )

@MarioLover92 Then it must have have had the Japanese-style classic Sonic if it's from 2010. It's a more recent shirt that tried to remake an old one. I remember an old neighbor had a similar shirt in the 90's.

Yeah, the only recent Trolls stuff has been the holiday special and a season of the Hulu/Peacock show. So I'm guessing it will be back with the third movie. I loved that about Pac-Man World 2, it let me play Pac-Man right on my GameCube. It was my second GC game, so it gave me plenty to play. Thanks, I wish I got one sooner. I didn't know Pillow Pets made favorite characters. Though, I do get a kick out of the fact they made Clifford the Big Red Dog an actual big pillow pet, lol.

The Tails one was a surprise from a friend. Maybe I'll take a pic of it one day, he's pretty big, but was fun to have when seeing Sonic 2. I think I might do that for all future movies with favorite characters, just to make the trip more special. It's crazy to think, we're still waiting on anything for the Mario movie. I plan to wear my Peach shirt (sweatshirt, if it sticks to winter) that day and bring a Mario themed plush.

@Kermit1 Yikes, I'm glad you're ok. Accidents are terrible, mom and I were in one years ago, so I know the feeling.

@Kermit1 oh wow 😮 I’m glad to hear you’re all ok!

I can still remember the last we were in a car accident, I suppose its normal to have a delayed response, it’s a really confusing experience.

We are now in a hotel.

our car did not have any major damage, we got the tires changed and the wheels re centered (or whatever you call it that).

This hotel has a neat arcade, this has been Kermit1 live from a hotel room with shockingly better wifi then his home's

@Tyranexx I just made some more progress into BotW. I'm one step closer to finishing the game.

Sounds good to me. Coconut Mall's one of the fan-favorite tracks from Mario Kart Wii, and it's loved by yours truly, too. It's exactly what you'd expect, it takes place in a mall. Shroom Ridge is that highway course from Mario Kart DS, that takes place in the mountaintops. Yeah, come to think of it...they are tasty-sounding names for those courses as well. lol

The N64 catalog for NSO+EP has been growing quite a bit, the last game they've added was Pokemon Puzzle League. I'd love to see the Mario Party games come to it. GameCube and GBA games would certainly make me happy, as well...but we don't know if those would happen.

@Kermit1 Oh man...sorry to hear about your car accident. Glad to hear you're all right after that, and that there wasn't any major damage to your car. Best wishes from me.

@Sunsy Yeah that must be it then. Same here, it let me play games I never even played before as well, alongside the Namco Museum games. I had NM for the PS2, and I played the heck out of it when I was younger. Those Arrangement games were amazing, particularly for Pac-Man and Galaga - didn't like Dig Dug Arrangement too much.

That's cool they made the Clifford one big, it's true to his name after all, lol. That would be cool for sure, and yeah, we're still waiting on that Mario movie. I'm definitely wearing one of my Mario tees to it...maybe even wear my Club Nintendo Mario hat to it!

@MarioLover92 we are in the hotel now just ate some "mediocre" pizza for a very late dinner.

Goodnight ya'll, I will be posting off and on for the next 3 days.
