@Fizza my friend you music taste is amazing!

@Fizza "The Grim Reaper pulls you into the cold unsettling dark with his groovy tunes where you will never return."

@Tyranexx Yeah, IIRC, I think I only had snow twice earlier this year. Sometime shortly after the new year, and at the end of January. Funnily enough, I remember playing World of Tanks Blitz that day on my PC for a few hours having nothing better to do.

@MarioLover92 Cool. Yeah that would be the only stuff I'd be critical over or have a negative take on anyway. Especially since online was free on Nintendo's previous consoles. Funny thing is, I barely play Smash Bros. online because of it. Though, I did play some Smash on Wii U online the night of Ultimate's release to see if anyone was still playing... I think that was the only time I ever won online. It really stings we're paying, but there's no improvement to the online play itself, yet free games like Apex have solid online, and doesn't require a paid subscription to play.

Same, online play on Mario Kart 8 is very sold, as with Super Mario 3D World the few times I played. Ironically enough, I remember Mario Kart 8 had built-in voice chat in the Wii U version between races when players are choosing the next track.

Yeah, that's why I don't worry too much if someone likes a game I didn't like or vice versa. Yeah, it surprised me when I found the official Smurfs channel and saw episodes posted, they did it at least once a week when I discovered it, and got to watch more Smurfs beyond the few DVDs I had. I wish more YouTube channels did this to be honest, official ones anyway. I see it mostly done with preschool cartoons, rarely for "older kids" (for lack of a better phrase, I just enjoy cartoons in general) cartoons. Sometimes there's special "YouTube" episodes of a show too (My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale and Trolls: Ask Poppy comes to mind). Just handy to have some full shows officially on YouTube, I love that Smurfs Official did just that.

I use a little caffeine in the mornings sometimes, but I've found I can't have too much; it can make me anxious and makes my brain work at a thousand miles an hour.

@Kermit1 "Christmas in July" and all that. I think in the US it's mostly just a marketing tactic to vacate last year's Christmas inventory. In a way though, I think it's meant to mirror how those in the southern hemisphere experience Christmas. It's smack in the middle of their summer.

As an aside: speaking from personal experience, yes depression can make your head hurt. But headaches can have a myriad of causes, from other disorders, too much caffeine, eyestrain, stress, dehydration, etc., etc. I'd seek medical advice instead of self-diagnosis, however. Even if one of us were a doctor, it's very hard to try to diagnose someone without interacting with them directly. I know telehealth is a thing, but to my knowledge that doesn't get too intensive.

@Anti-Matter I first heard of Canadian Thanksgiving from a web comic author I used to follow; she was based in Canada, so she was very upfront about taking the day off lol. Though I confess I forget what day it is exactly until it's nearly here. The US's Thanksgiving is always the last Thursday in November.

@MarioLover92 I don't recall ever getting stuck in XC3, at least in the main story. Though for the most part I know RPGs like the back of my hand. The brownies didn't last the night, not that I'm complaining! XD I would've loved to have access to a N64, but I never experienced the console outside of store demo units. My GBC was a birthday gift at age 10, a silver Special Pikachu Edition. I still have it, though I haven't powered it on in awhile. My family (Well, everyone but my dad; he's not into gaming) would play Wii Sports frequently, especially golf and bowling. It was a fun pastime, and the Miis are hilarious.

@Sunsy We mostly just had that one big snow IIRC. Then a couple of dustings and a couple of smaller ones that were only an inch or two deep. I don't bother shoveling when it's that shallow. XD

My caffeine tolerance goes straight from “no effect at all” to “jittery mess” after I consume enough, with no points in between.

This.

I'm someone who has to be careful with caffeine, if I have it too late in the day, I'll be up all night. It doesn't make me hyper, so anything that may have caffeine like chocolate or tea, I have to have in morning or early afternoon.

When I drink cocoa in the evening, I usually have Swiss Miss thanks to the lack of caffeine. Never was a coffee drinker, so if I go to Starbucks or Dunkin' Donuts, I usually buy cocoa there in the mornings.

@Tyranexx I think we got a dusting a few times too. That's always a plus, the snow on the sidewalk was gone by the afternoon.

Where I live this is nothing (I don't know those people).

@Kermit1
Speaking about anxiety, I oftenly got some anxiety whenever I played ACNH with time after 7 pm as sometimes I found a scorpion or tarantula swarming around my island and I have ever got stung by them without my acknowledge.
This was my attempt catching scorpion and failed.

@Eagly I'm fine with it, I understand what he means.

@Anti-Matter I get that feeling with the zip-lines in Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Maybe I just drink to much caffeine, but it really doesn’t affect me at all. Like I could have five mountain dews at once and feel nothing. Now that I type that, I realize that I drank way to much soda. Probably a good thing I have since quit drinking it.

If I had 5 I'd be on the moon and back twice, also this:

@Eagly no problem

@Anti-Matter allright, everybody got its own choice of preferences

Goodmorning!

Looks like the UK My Nintendo Store has gone technical, currently showing:

We're currently experiencing a high number of customers on the site, please come back later

Hmmm

@Eel I couldn't find bunny ears with a transparent background so here's a crown.

Now that’s a King Moogle Mog cosplay

So this is the Halloween diorama that I just finished

The pumpkins are made from polymer clay. The base is made from XPS foam. And with some wiring and soldering I put a battery pack inside the base that can be turned on and off

Also the hat is removable

Oh that looks very cool!

Reminds me of those little decorative pieces the make for "Christmas villages", but for Halloween.

I've just played Pokemon Unite non-stop for the last 5 hours all because of this d***

I love ya Mew, but your unlock requirements were utterly ridiculous.
