@SlashFuture Hope so too, it should be.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika You're not, it happens. Yeah, it sucks they changed the soundtrack to a well known classic movie just to have it on a free streaming service like Plex.

The kicker, the official NBC site has the whole movie up for free streaming, with the original soundtrack.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I meant as in I saw our doppelgangers when I went looking for Forza news.

Long time ago, peoples were afraid with twins as they considered twins as Doppelganger (Evil twin) so when the baby was born twin, one of them must be killed or separated.

@Sunsy Thank you! I had a wonderful birthday, and I did everything that was mentioned. I had a really nice party, the cake is delicious, and I also played some Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online races sometime afterward. Got 1st in quite a few races as well, so that felt great. My mom and I also had a Disney movie night, the one we watched was Beauty and the Beast - it's still such a good movie after all these years.

That's cool, I have controllers that are themed after Mario and Luigi when Smash Wii U came out. I think they were made by Hori? Those controllers are pretty solid overall, the only thing I don't like about them is that the left control sticks are kind of sensitive. If I want to walk slowly in Super Mario 64, for example, I have to tilt the control stick very slightly, or Mario would just run at full speed.

That Game Gear glitch you mentioned, was it on a particular game? That sounds like kind of an odd glitch, I'm not sure if I came across it - then again, I didn't have a Game Gear back when it was new, and didn't play the GG Sonic games until Sonic Adventure DX.

Ah yeah, for sure. I still remember that other rumor about Super Smash Bros. Melee, where you'd unlock Toad as a playable character. I wonder how Toad would play in Smash if he does become playable. I especially remember that, and the Sonic and Tails one since SSBM was my jam back when I was a child. I'd look up stuff like that online, too - it was quite an interesting rabbit hole to jump down to see all those fake unlockables, lol.

Ah, didn't know that it doesn't require NSO, thanks for telling me. I'll try to remember to do the goals next time I play.

@cordova94 Thank you for the warm wishes! I indeed had a lovely day. Here's hoping that I get a great year ahead, as well!

@ComfyAko Thanks! It's been a while since I played New Horizons... I've been thinking of finding some missing fish/bugs next time I play.

@Tyranexx Thanks! I had a nice birthday, thanks for asking. My birthday had quite a bit of everything, lol - it was full of cake, Mario Kart, and Disney. I went into more detail when writing my reply to Sunsy.

Gotcha, that's still a really good deal. A remaster of MPH would be cool to have. I was thinking that it'd be cool for them to remake it alongside the trilogy, assuming the rumors about MPT on Switch are true of course.

Yeah me too! Cool to see you've finished Triple Deluxe. It's a pretty solid game from what I remember - I've finished it years ago. Gotcha, it's your call at the end of the day - I really liked Forgotten Land, though I haven't fully completed it yet. Perhaps I'll revisit it to get some missing stuff for 100% completion. The first game I recall playing that had mechs you could use was Mega Man X. They were called ride armors, and you could jump into them to punch enemies and other stuff. They are quite powerful for sure, and certain enemies can pilot ride armors too.

@Anti-Matter Yes I am fully aware of all of that. However, many kanji have more than 1 spelling for Kunyomi/Onyomi, and every time you see a kanji you need to know exactly the word it represents which basically makes remembering them all absolutely impossible given that there are about 60000 of them and about 2000 is in common use

I for one am grateful for your GIFts

@ComfyAko You must have magic powers, you mentioned a game and then bam! Something to do with it is announced a couple of days later.

@TeaCatherine Yeah, what a coincidence!

Let's talk what we are going to do once we become bilionnaires and Half Life 3 comes out.

@ComfyAko That's one of those games that's rumoured to exist and has been for ages, right? (The only things to do with Valve that I've played are Portal and Portal 2.)

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Huh?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I don't get the reference.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika So is TF2’s fabled Heavy Update.

Or any update at this point

Oh it’s a National Treasure reference lmao.

Anyone else have a problem with awkward covers for DVDs, Manga, Graphic novels, games, stuff like that?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika No, I'd like to though. Which book do you mean by the way?
The thing I was talking about is something I ordered for my sister, it was Umbrella Academy volume 1 (she wanted it because it's by the lead singer of My Chemical Romance and she's obsessed with that band.)

@TeaCatherine
Ol' Gerard's a strange one, isn't he? I prefer Billie Joe, personally.

@TeaCatherine That's not why I wanted it. I wanted to try reading some comics instead of manga, and that comic's plot seemed the most interesting to me.

@Rashoumon So you say, but that probably had some impact on it.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika @SlashFuture National Treasure is a certified hood classic

The sequel series is trash.

@SlashFuture Perchance. I only watched one episode and it just feels off. I just don’t like “sequels” that introduce a newer generation in general. My only exception is some Marvel shows.

Well done me. Literally, how am I so incompetent that I just fell down about half of our staircase?
