@Kermit1 The internet isn’t always a bad place! Doh what am I saying it sucks!

Yeah but I feel you.

@Snatcher The Internet

@Kermit1 Yeah, I get that. I have social anxiety myself too, and I don't have any real life friends outside of the Internet. It's hard for me to connect to people in Singapore than it is to converse with people online from America and other countries, ironically.

But yeah, it's nice to have a community where we can feel comfortable to offload our troubles.

I feel as if my stomach will explode right now.

@Kermit1
Oh, gosh.
I hope it wasn't food poisoning from the foods you ate recently. 😟

@Kermit1 How long ago did you have this food again? Today?

@Anti-Matter @Snatcher It was gas thank God!!! I thought for a good minute while in the bathroom I was going to "blow chunks" but then tried "burping" and I feel loads better, I just had a large glass of water to help me pee and that helped too.

I feel better, I don't think I'm going to eat fried food for a long time. Good Bye, fast food

@Kermit1 Ouch, that did not sound like a good meal at all. I never ate at a Cracker Barrel, so I can't speak first hand on what their food is like. The only place I could think of off hand I didn't enjoy was Golden Corral. Genuinely did not enjoy the food there.

Then again, I don't eat chain restaurant food often. I had McDonalds last night, and I rarely eat it. The only time I like going to McDonalds is when the Happy Meal toy happens to be one of my favorite characters, lol. Usually, I just buy the toy without food, lol. Sometimes, I do like Dominos and Wendy's, but occasionally.

I prefer cooking my own stuff, I just always enjoyed cooking.

So do I, I have a fear of crowds. I actually like going to the stores early when they are empty. Last time I went to a store, hardly anyone was there. It makes shopping a lot more relaxing and fun for me. Plus you don't have someone rushing to buy the last of something.

I've been watching a lot of Street Fighter videos as of late and if there's ever a character that just makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside from their presence alone.....it's Sakura.

Genuinely one of the most wholesome and precious characters ever put into a video game, I can't wait to play as her when I grab Alpha 2 for the first time.

@MarioLover92 I admittedly never got too into Smash; it's fun for a few rounds, but most fighting games don't hold my attention for long. I did sink some time into the Wii U version though. Looking forward to BotW updates when you get around to it.

200cc is a good way to hand me my rear on the way to the door. I realize I just need more practice. I like Mario Kart, but I prefer the occasional bout instead of a daily one lol. I am sad that I missed battle mode earlier, but I was nowhere near my Switch.

On Kirby's Return to Dream Land: I've only played a few levels from the first world so far, but I'm enjoying it! Definitely a fun game, even if the enhanced swallow mechanic attached to it requires shaking the Wiimote. Seems a little gimmicky.

@TheJGG Sounds like quite a workout! Love those shots; from experience, I'm sure the scenery is even more amazing in person!

@Kermit1 Those sound like some pretty sad experiences. Unfortunately, apples are out of season in some parts of the country; they're a fall staple where I am (lower Midwest). I'm not a fan of Cracker Barrel, though that has little to do with the food and more the atmosphere, country music (I can't STAND it), and overpriced store section. Normally they have really good food though. As for that fruit market...Believe me, there are much, MUCH better ones. You should track down a farmer's market.

@ogo79 Boots can make or break a person or skeleton. It depends on what they're made of. Iron and steel are pretty good choices. I don't recommend the brick ones.

@Sunsy The worst food I've ever had was at a place called The Yellow Cello. To begin the story I will start with the drinking water. That was the worst thing I've ever put in my mouth in my life, it tasted gunky and my poor Dad (can't drink soda or anything with sugar) was so thirsty he drank half a glass and then I got a water to sip on before my Pepsi came and EK I asked my Mom to try it and she went EK too then we asked the waiter (only had one) why the water tasted so bad and she said they ran out of bottled water so they used tap water instead. Then we asked for our food to go since we had been waiting awhile, so we got our food and left. We ate in the car and I got a BLT and it, no joke was toast and cheap bacon and the lettuce was limp so were the tomatoes. In short we never ate there again.

Not to say I've only eaten bad food but when bad food happens you can't stop talking about it.

I once had an amazing pasta dish at a mom & pop place and it was 10/10. I don't remember what it was but it was 10/10.

HelloFresh is pretty awesome!

@Tyranexx it used to be a great farmer's market... Kinda sad to see it fall. I love country music but only from the 40s to 70s, the same goes with folk music.

I'm going antique-ing this Friday wish me luck, I hope to find some good stuff with my small budget.

Ironically, I had McDonald's breakfast delivered and I'm having it right now. What? I'm famished. Stayed up all morning. lol

But yeah, those gases, man. I hate those. They can feel worse than a normal stomachache sometimes, especially when those gases don't pass out easily.

@Maxenmus I've had worse gas, it can suck sometimes because my brain thinks I'm going to be "sick" but I'm telling myself it's not that bad even though I feel awful.

Gotta love your body when you have no clue what's happening at 12:30 at night and feels as if your going to explode. (it was not 12 for me then)

@Kermit1 If I feel that awful though, I'd usually try to sleep it off in the optimistic hope that I'd feel better the next morning. Usually, this is when I have either a bad cold or a toothache, but most of the time... the ache or cold would come back with a vengeance by nightfall. Ah well. Temporary relief is better than no relief.

True, very true.

@Maxenmus your good in my book.

Good to know. I know my arrival on NintendoLife forum had a rough start, but I'm glad I've started to fit right in.

@Sunsy Ah I see, gotcha. Yeah, I'm still into gaming to this day as well, even though I'm mostly a Nintendo guy nowadays. I actually do have a friend in real life who's not exactly into games to begin with, but he is a cool guy at least.

That's cool. One of my mom's DVDs loops as well, to my knowledge anyway - the movie would end, go back to the DVD's menu, and then play the movie on its own again. It's definitely good for having something run in the background.

Ah yeah I think I remember coming across that Sonic Heroes video. At least they mentioned that it's their own thoughts in some way, lol. I enjoyed my time with that game overall. Yeah, LGR's a good channel and a good guy for sure. Always liked his videos on stuff like MS-DOS games and old-school Windows versions. One other video I've seen from him was that computer that Apple made long ago, that runs both Macintosh and DOS.

@Tyranexx I kinda agree actually. I do like Smash for sure, but anytime I play Smash nowadays, it's for a fair amount of rounds at most. Especially since I already finished World of Light, lol. The ones I sunk the most time into were Melee and Ultimate.

I just saved Vah Naboris! I didn't really like the stealth part before even getting to Naboris, though - I don't mind the concept itself, but there were many times where the camera would mess me up by zooming in when I didn't want it to. So those ninja guys (I forgot what they're called) would always catch poor Link. So that part did take me a while, I will admit.

That's totally fine, that's another game that benefits from playing occasionally as well. I haven't been playing quite as much as when wave 1 first released. Wave 2 will change that of course, we just don't know when that will happen. You're good, no worries.

Ah I do remember that, there were a lot of games on the Wii that had you shake the Wii Remote. Quite a few platformers have you do just that. It kind of does feel gimmicky yeah, though it hasn't really bothered me personally.

@TheJGG Great photos! I even went ahead and gave them a like on Twitter.

Well it’s done. Lots of hard work but it’s done. Can’t wait to get back to the hotel and just sleep. Then wake up at 12am because XENOBLADE 3 IS HERE BABY. Who’s ready to bear witness to apparently one of the greater JRPGs of all time?

Thanks all for the well wishes, I appreciate them greatly! For anyone interested in photos, I took a few on the way down. My legs were jelly but my phone camera meant that doesn’t show. @Tyranexx @Sunsy @MarioLover92 do look at these. I played around with black and white a bit more since it got really foggy.

Great stuff, @TheJGG .... Glad you're back in time for XC3, too
