Congratulations! I like to imagine Sonic deliver the ring.

@Kermit1 Thank you!
@Eel Thank you Nope Sonic will not be involved at all That rascal will stay at home and munch on mealworms!

I'm back from my aunts. She recently got a Switch and I played Mario Kart 8 for the first time. She also dyed my hair pink and red.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Do you look like you're in an anime now?

@TeaCatherine You bet I look like an anime character wannabe

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Good on you, sounds way more interesting than plain old brown hair.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Did you play MK8 with your aunt or ?
Anyway, dinner time.

@TeaCatherine Yeah, I played it with my aunt. I just gotta say, she sucks at Mario Kart.

@Zuljaras YIPPEEEEE! Congrats.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko At least she doesn't reverse if she's losing. (Probably not, at least.)

@TeaCatherine No, she didn't reverse if she was losing. Just. Like. I'm sorry, what?

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko My brother's just about a year younger than me, but from how he acts sometimes you wouldn't believe it.

@TeaCatherine He reverses when he's losing??? And I thought my aunt was weird for stopping right at the finish line for no reason and letting everyone pass her.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Sometimes. We don't really play it that often, partially 'cause multiplayer is up to four players and there are five of us. Does she only do that if she isn't in first place?

@TeaCatherine No, she does it whether she's in first place or 9th place.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Was she letting you win or is she just slightly weird?

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Okay, now I'm worried I've kind of insulted your aunt. If so, I'm sorry.

If I was your aunt I’d wait until the next person got close to me, then break their heart at the last second.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika The Napishtim engine Ys games (Ark of Napishtim (VI), Oath In Felghana (III), and Origin) all play akin to top down Zelda titles where you control one character at a time. They can be a bit rough graphically if that bother you (not me). Ys I & II Chronicles+ uses "bump' combat found in the earlier iterations of those games and is fun, though could use a guide for more cryptic bits. All games from Ys Seven and up use an ARPG party system. Each system has its plua and minuses. Any games I haven't played in Switch I've played or will get through Steam.

@MarioLover92 The only reason I haven't played Hollow Knight is due to the alleged difficulty. Shovel Knight (no relation I know, some similarities) was about my limit. I have tried a couple of Castlevania titles but have never gotten too into the series. Mainly due to platform constraints.

Just finished Mole Mania yesterday evening. Pretty fun game, WAY more challenging than I figured. I turned to an old GameFAQs guide when I became completely stuck. The boss rush at the end was almost a disappointment. XD

I like what I've played of the Dragon Quest series so far. I've played/beaten IV and V on the DS and VIII on the 3DS. I've also played one of the spinoffs on DS: Dragon Quest Heroes: Rocket Slime and loved it. In the unplayed backlog, I have VII (3DS), IX (DS), and XI S (Switch). Excellent series, but I gotta pace myself since there are other games I like playing lol. VII is arguably the longest, though the 3DD version supposedly trims some fat.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko I like to throw every item I have back when approaching the finish line just to throw people off, especially on the final lap. I even do it with friends.

I’m such a competitive jerk. Be glad that your aunt lets you win.
