@Anti-Matter Hopefully these videos will cheer you up! They cheered me up.

@Kermit1
Thanks. 🙂
Btw, Beatmania with 5 keys + disc scratch was the dead franchise from Konami after Beatmania IIDX with 7 keys + disc scratch take over old Beatmania and Beatmania III.
Currently, Beatmania IIDX has reached its 30th installment with title Beatmania IIDX 30 RESIDENT.
The game will be released on Arcade very soon on this year after location test was finished.

I have one Beatmania IIDX PS2 game currently, Beatmania IIDX 9th style since last year but I barely touch the game as I still suck at playing that game since it requires finger skills from playing piano. Even I couldn't cleared very easy songs with 7 keys as default option. The 5 keys option before Beatmania IIDX 10th style didn't really help as the charts taken from Another chart but with 5 keys active.

I have easier version with title Pop'n Music which you can play the 5 buttons as default option but the 9 buttons option was even harder than Beatmania IIDX.

@DreamlandGem Thanks for mentioning my brother @Kermit1mentioned lol.

@Kermit1
I see in your signature that you're playing Xenoblade 3 but I don't remember seeing you in the Xenoblade 3 thread yet. Staying away for spoilers perhaps?

@Mioaionios Not really, I'm still on chapter 3 and I don't really have much to talk about the game. I keep putting the game off to play AC:NH, I really need to get back to playing it before Pokemon (I keep saying that every time).

I've loved what I've played of it so far and I love the class system. Mio with Taion's outfit is my main and I'm not picky when it comes to classes.

@Kermit1
I'm glad to hear you enjoy the game so far.
But I understand, there are way too many things vying for our attention at any given time.

@Kermit1 lol, I remember seeing that Game Boy DDR controller in an old gaming magazine a long time ago.

Plot twist: @Kermit1mentioned isn't just in another castle, he's basically Constantine the Frog.

@Sunsy I've always much preferred to wear clothes I'm comfortable in (Read: Jeans and t-shirts, some pajama pants around home) and normally don't put much stock into my appearance. Thankfully this isn't an issue with my job since I don't do anything customer service facing; I just code or attend meetings most of the day lol. I don't have sensory issues with clothing, but I can relate when it comes to foreign substances on my skin, especially if they're oily or sticky. I can't stand to use hand lotion in the winter for example unless it's at night while I'm sleeping and wearing gloves; it feels like I'm rubbing bacon grease on them and getting it all over everything otherwise. Soap and shampoo are fine though since those are designed for washing. A lot of strong smells bother me too...unless they're food related.

Y'know, I might go into a Build-A-Bear next time I'm near one just to check it out. Not sure if I'd cave to buy anything, but I probably will lol. I used to have a ton of stuffed animals on my bed growing up, but I got tired of moving them and picking them up all the time. The area I live in is somewhat rural, so I need to rely on driving to get a lot of places. The closest major city to me that most Americans can locate on a map is a little under two hours from where I live. Close enough for a day trip, but far enough away that I don't go very often.

@Sunsy So that explains why my pfp is Zelda II lol

@Kermit1 You saw nothing

@DreamlandGem

@Tyranexx That's pretty much me. Like I said, I usually don't go for fashion trends, and wear what I like, which usually is a character shirt (I have more than just Trolls, actually had on a Sonic one the other day), either jeans or pajama pants. Cool, sounds like an at home job. Yeah, certain materials, fabric, and textures bother me, so I usually just wear something I'm comfortable in. Yeah that would get annoying, personally, when I use hand lotion, I will usually wipe the excess off with a towel.

Have fun if you go, it's a nice place, and their plushies are usually high quality and look better in person than they do on their site, or in Pokemon's case, the articles here. Here's a few of mine for example. The two on the left, World Tour Branch and Poppy, were for Christmas due to how 2020 was, but the one on the right, Original Poppy, I made in person.

I usually keep a few plushies on my bed, not a ton of them, just the three trolls, and a couple of smaller ones, and a pillow pet of Poppy I got as a birthday gift. I was imagining that's the kind of area you live. I have a friend who had to move temporarily, and he mentions how places are like over an hour away too.

@Kermit1 There's a whole mystery behind this!

Never forget 9/11

@Kermit1
Wow, it was 21 years ago of WTC Ground Zero (11 September 2001)

It happened right as I was getting prepared to go to school, I remember the live news feed about it on the tv.

Just got Bye-Bye Boxboy from the 3DS eShop. I totally recommend the Boxboy series, they're puzzle platformers and each of the first three games on the 3DS are $5 each.

@Sunsy Yeah I agree for sure! And yeah, I like doing the same with retro games as well, particularly games from my childhood. There may be an instance where I'm thinking "I'm feeling nostalgic, I feel like playing (insert game here)" so I'd pick it up and just have fun with it. My platinum GameCube doesn't work that great anymore, sadly. I'm hoping I can find a way to fix it, or something. I do at least have a red Wii that has GC compatibility, and I still have a lot of my GC games.

Mario Kart's 30 now, as well! You're not alone... I feel old too, lol. The 90s were such a simpler time.

@Tyranexx Oh that's cool it's one of your favorites, I'll hopefully find a time to rewatch it! I haven't seen the live-action version either.

Oh I agree for sure. They've done that for Nintendo Switch Sports as well, with that online play test before the full game came out. That was a bit rough at times, but the rounds I played were still fun. Yep, we sure did rock, all right! lol

I still remember exactly where I was when it happened. I was home, ready to go to a friend's house when all of a sudden that same friend called me with the words: "turn on the news, world war 3 is happening".

So I did and I was glued to the screen for the remainder of the day. Saw the second plane hit practically live when it happened. Same with the collapse of both towers.

9/11 was insane. I was so scared.

@Rambler You still can post it here, I got nothing much to say on that topic and if I did I'd fumble my words.

@Anti-Matter Have you ever seen the Lego Chima TV show? I think you might like it.
