@EaglyTheKawaiiShika it comes from a game designer who literally put shamans and vampires into a political intrigue and military operation - based game, and the character design isn't even the weirdest thing. I agree that it looks like they were going for... strong response, though.

Friend and I saw each other exchanged gifts today, he gave me a Poppy plush that lights up rainbow stars on the ceiling! Really cool, it looks like my pillow pet, but smaller.
Another friend and I played some Duke Nukem 3D: Nuclear Winter, a Christmas themed add-on that was included with the older Steam release of Duke 3D, the Megaton Edition.
@Sunsy
Hi, looks like you will busy during Christmas Day.
Btw, what new games do you play on Steam or Switch?
Reading your long posts, I never saw you have interest with upcoming games especially the 3rd party games that also available on Steam.
Currently I'm playing Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town PS4, that game also available on Steam with better performance.
Later, my games order of Nexomon + Nexomon Extinction PS4 and Meteoheroes PS4 will be arrived in several days later.
I like to try never before played games as long they have something interesting that make I want to try them.
I ordered some PS3 games too before the end of year 2022. Well... A lot of games based on movies such as The Golden Compass, Surf Up, Megamind, Kung Fu Panda on PS3.
I have never watched The Golden Compass movie but I knew there was a story book for kids with several pages and actual screenshots from the movie inside my school library, the first thing I got introduced by The Golden Compass. If I remembered Nicole Kidman was involved in that movie as well, from the poster I saw.
I have never watched Kung Fu Panda movie too but the game on PS3 somehow caught my attention as the genre is 3D Action platformer.
It's very strange I pick Megamind as I don't have interest with that movie before but the game on PS3, again caught my curiosity.
Well, I saw a lot of sale for PS3 games I can pick so I bought some PS3 games based on movies just for my curiosity and I want to expand my gaming horizons from those franchises.
The Steam game I'm playing is M-rated, so I'll spare you the details. As for Switch, I'm looking forward to playing Sonic Frontiers and hoping my brother gives me Smurfs Kart. After Mission Vileaf, I'm looking forward to it.
Wow, I actually gave my friend Story of Seasons. He liked the game during the trial, and I surprised him with the game. Have fun playing those games. I am thinking about buying My Little Pony: A Maretime Bay Adventure again on Steam since it's half-price, just to be able to play it on PC at higher framerates too. Really liked that game and wouldn't mind having it on PC too.
I haven't seen Megamind yet, but I did enjoy Kung Fu Panda when I saw the movie awhile back.
@Sunsy Ah really, that's OK. I think a lot of us had experiences like that when we were much younger. I didn't get a single star in Super Mario 64 when I first played at around 6, I just explored around and played my way, lol. That's cool, I think I recall someone in my family having a PlayStation way back when, with Crash 2 and that one Croc game.
That's good to hear. I got to upgrade to a better router some years ago, and for the most part, it's been serving us well. Recently, my wi-fi connection to my 5G network has been dropping out of nowhere on occasion, and I have to reconnect. It's pretty frustrating. It's been snowing like crazy over here, so that might have to do with it.
I can't blame you... it sometimes gets me, as well. My mom's been saying that I should be in the present moment, and not stress about whatever's happened in the past. It is good advice for sure, though I sometimes struggle with it.
Sounds like you've had a good gaming session and everything else. Recently, I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles, and I wanna try to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe this holiday too, because of Merry Mountain. I saw the trailer for Noelle, and it looks great! Looks like a fun, feel-good holiday movie. Thanks for telling me about it! Yesterday I got to visit the local museum with my mom (it's been a holiday tradition for me), and we both had fun exploring it. It was all decked out for Christmastime, too.
Yeah, I think that's a lot of early experiences with games, I remember driving everywhere in Super Mario Kart. Driving on dirt, bumping into guard rails, seeing lakitu hold an X sign up, finally figuring out how to drive on track in time trials, good times.
Maybe, I remember some storms and snowstorms did affect the Internet and the ISP has to go out and fix it.
Same here, I also struggle with it. Past experiences makes me cautious and try to avoid situations that were bad in the past. It can be really hard.
Neat. Tonight, I played Duke Nukem 3D: Nuclear Winter, which is a Christmas themed Duke 3D expansion, and Asphalt's advent calendar race, that's about it for today. I want to try to play more Merry Mountain too. I also got Mortal Kombat XL thanks to a Steam sale, played that last night. You're welcome, I have a feeling you might enjoy it. Ooh, that sounds like a really nice time.
Gonna be less active here over the next few days due to wanting to spend time with the family over Christmas so take care everyone and I hope you have a merry Christmas, Hanukkah or whatever other holiday you celebrate this year!

Today is my 5th anniversary of Nintendo Switch purchase day back on 24 December 2017.
I played ACNH to celebrate the anniversary, but I ended up by playing Story of Seasons : Pioneers of Olive Town PS4 as I still hyped with that game.
I hope Santa brings you all the gaming stuff you wanted!

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone. My area was hit hard with brutally cold temperatures, and we're doing our best to keep warm and everything. If you're in an area where it's insanely cold, please stay safe and warm. Bundle up with a sweater, have some nice comfort food, have tea or hot chocolate, burn a candle or two, sit by the fireplace... anything that'll help you get cozy! I wish you all the best, and have a wonderful holiday.
Here's a Christmas drawing that I did a couple years ago, which is Toad's holiday train.
@Sunsy Gotcha - we all learn as we go. So, it's all good. Yeah that sounds logical that the internet connection would screw up that way. It's not the first time that's happened to me.
Yeah, you can definitely learn from past instances. I've certainly learned a lot as I grew up and everything. We'll be doing our best to stay positive, and not let a single bad thought get stuck in our heads. As that one song in Frozen suggests, just let it go.
Nice, that's cool - no pun intended, lol! Yeah, Merry Mountain is a great course for sure, with its holiday atmosphere. I love the train that flies around the course, too! I so wanna ride it. Nice, that seems like a good sale. Yes, the museum was wonderful! I feel like every time I visit, I would notice at least one or two new things. It was a lot of fun.
@Zuljaras Nice picture! Thanks for sharing with us. Happy Holidays.

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
@MarioLover92 Thank you! I drew that last year for the NL people
Your Toad train is so cute! Please color it!!!

@MarioLover92 great drawing! It really captures the jollyness of the season. I also commend you for the pure bravery of drawing traditionally, where you can't ctrl+z every second (like I do)

Here is something funny happened to me back in year 2017 compared with this year.
Before year 2017, I was so fanboy with Nintendo after I got Wii U in year 2016 and I was so negative with PS4 and blaming PS4 for not enough kids games on it. Well, during that time there was no games like Harvest Moon or Cooking Mama games or The Sims games or DDR games on PS4 so I blamed PS4 lack of those games. And I remembered I choose to defend my Wii U over than PS4 and will not buy PS4 for lack of kids games I want to play.
But situation started to change in year 2017 after I got new hype with Switch after the reveal in October 2016, when I browsed PS4 games from play-asia in my curiosity, suddenly I saw Final Fantasy XII for PS4 and I was really shocked and immediately I changed my mind to getting know more about PS4 games library after I was so fanboy with Nintendo. During year 2017, I started to build Switch games before purchasing the machine on 24 October 2017, but at the same time I started to purchase PS4 games after I found more PS4 games I could consider and the reveal of The Sims4 for PS4 in July 2017, it made me speechless, both excited and upset because I was really happy to get The Sims 4 on console but at the same time I was upset because why The Sims 4 on PS4 but not on Switch. So it made I purchased my PS4 games with half hearted feeling because my hype with Switch still eclipsed my interest with PS4 games. In June 2017, I purchased Portal Knights PS4 and it was the first time I tried game with Minecraft vibes but in better graphics. Before that, I really don't like with games that look too Minecraft, literally I never like Minecraft for too blocky characters / things but Portal Knights and Dragon Quest Builders are my first introduction of better looking Minecraft style games in year 2017. Literally I started to play my PS4 games by rent on my game shop owner place. I borrow his PS4 machine by playing my PS4 games on his game shop place and I only played every 1 week with duration about 1.5 - 2 hours since his PS4 machine sometimes will be used to test PS4 games from the customers who purchased from his shop.
After I got my Switch machine on 24 December 2017, my hype with Switch started to rise. In year 2018 I picked more Switch games and at the same time I purchased PS4 machine in April 2018 so I can play my PS4 games at home without keep borrowing PS4 machine from the game shop owner. During that time, even I have purchased PS4 machine but I still have some saltiness with PS4 because FF XII, FF X/X-2, Portal Knights and The Sims 4 were the reason I purchased PS4. Fast forward, after I watched Nintendo Direct in year 2018 that revealed about World of Final Fantasy, FF XII, FF VIII and FF IX on Switch, I was over excited and I started to have feeling to unconsider my PS4 games if the games get ported to Switch version.
In year 2019 my hype with Switch was really on fire. I started to sell my PS4 games once I got the Switch version like FF X/X-2, World of Final Fantasy, Overcooked 1, Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles in year 2019. Some controversial news about PS4 and Sony during year 2018 and 2019 really provoked me to sell my PS4 if The Sims 4 get ported to Switch. I have been waiting for EA presentation in July 2019 when they discuss about The Sims 4. I thought EA will reveal The Sims for Switch but it was wrong. The Sims 4 on console will get more DLC stuffs only on PS4 and XBOX ONE, it will never have Switch version. I realized if The Sims 4 will not get ported to Switch and I felt really brokenhearted.
At the same time I realized I made a huge mistake by selling my PS4 games until three games left (Portal Knights, The Sims 4 and FF XII TZA) because I was provoked by Switch ports from PS4 version and I was so dumb to think again my action by selling my favorite games due to fanboism attitude. Right after my brokenhearted feeling, I started to buy The Sims 4 DLC and treat my PS4 nicely like I have no saltiness with my PS4 and I started to rebuild again my PS4 games by repurchasing the games I have sold as I really regret to sell them. In December 2019, I have a chance to get PS3 machine and I started to build PS3 games in late December 2019. It was my biggest redemption to able purchase PS3 machine after I failed to buy PS3 machine in year 2014 and I have to sold all my PS3 games due to financial crisis in year 2015 before even I successfully purchased PS3 machine. I was so relieved to able get PS3 machine.
During year 2020, I was so hyped with PS3 as my big redemption so I quickly build my PS3 games with Ratchet & Clank games, Sly Cooper games, a lot of kids games I can get from my country Indonesia and during pandemic, suddenly my hype with Switch was decreased like I only purchased 4 Switch games in year and Animal Crossing New Horizons was the only Switch game that relive my hype with Switch again. At the same time, my hype with PS4 started to grow again after more and more kids games on PS4 and it made me so happy to see PS4 games library now look better than before year 2017.
In year 2021, my hype with PS3 was still on fire, my hype with PS4 was grew bigger but my hype with Switch started to fade as I rarely purchase Switch games again in year 2021.
I started to show some interest with PS5 games in year 2021.
Situation get upside down in year 2022 when my hype with PS4 suddenly get boosted as I purchased more and more PS4 games as I found more interesting PS4 games to pick, my hype with PS3 still on fire but not as big as last year, I started to purchase PS5 games in July 2022 for future investment since PS5 machine was still really expensive. My hype with PS5 also really boosted and before end of year 2022, I have written almost 50 PS5 games I want to buy and it was really great choices.
But, my hype with Switch during year 2022 was getting down and down as I have sold some of my Switch games in October 2021 (BOTW, xenoblade 2, super bomberman r, street fighter 30th anniversary) and some Switch games in year 2022 (I sold my Super Mario 3D All Stars in March 2022) as I felt disappointed with some Switch games I have. The last Switch games purchase before July 2022 was my last straw when I found the Switch version of the same games have downgraded quality and at some point, I couldn't sugar coat anymore. I still keep the last Switch games purchase but I made some changes decision about 3rd party multi console games. From now on, my Switch games library will only consist 1st party + 3rd party exclusive on Switch + 1st / 3rd party remastered from other Nintendo games.
And for my PS4 & PS5, they will get 3rd party multi console games as they really depended on 3rd party games by 99%. Right after I made that decision, I started to avoid getting 3rd party multi console games on Switch. Instead, I will getting them on PS4 or PS5 as I don't want to get half baked games on Switch anymore.
Well, such a roller coaster my gaming experiences with Switch and PlayStation games from year 2017 to year 2022.
I have changed a lot in term of picking the games. Now I become more open with the games I have never played before but I still maintain my strict gaming rules by only play kids games and certain Teen games, no rated M games whatsoever as I really hate disgusted gritty stuffs from rated M games.
Sorry for wall of texts.
Hope you don't mind to read my gaming journey.
@Anti-Matter I don't mind at all, it was pretty funny and interesting to read! I'll share some of my gaming stories the tomorrow or the day after tomorrow since It's really late here. What stood out most in your story is how you treated the consoles and the news about them. I actually don't really care about such stuff and I always consider the game on case to case basis. Switch has the portability, PS5 has next to no loadings and the gorgeous graphics. If the game isn't that super pretty to make the difference ->Switch. If framerate issues and whatnot -> PS5. I'm not a big fan of graphics and I mostly play the 00s, nintendo games and indies (because I deem them the most game'y games out there ) but it's really nice to see some eye candy like the newest Ratchet and Clank. Also, Sims 4 on Switch would be a dream, but I doubt the console would handle it. I always prefered Sims on PC due to the mouse. Ever since the Sims 1, which I still consider the best of the bunch.
Games generally aimed at younger audience are becomming better and better, I still remeber those horrible ps1 and ps2 cash-grabs that would only recap the movies badly.

Yeah, there are a lot of games tied to movies during late 90's and early 2000's era with very limited hardware on consoles so a lot of games tied to movies have mediocre game contents, from how did they deliver the story line in game version but still maintain from the movie version, because due to limited hardware of PS2 / Gamecube / Wii era, some of the games look really dreadful compared with the movie version.
