Had a pretty busy week, but ended good as I had a Friday afternoon out which led to buying some new Trolls plushies and having some hot cocoa at a local coffee shop.
@Sunsy I do cook as well, but more as a means to feed myself. I don't dislike it but don't jump for joy either lol. I wish dishes would clean themselves. No room for a dishwasher sadly.
October in general is a very busy month for me since I'm currently in the middle of haunted house season. It takes up a lot of my weekends.
Yeah, dishes can be a downside, this is coming from someone who does have a dishwasher. Sometimes you still have to wash dishes by hand.
Understandable, yes, Halloween is coming up. Probably going to do what I do every year, watch some Halloween specials around my favorite cartoons. Actually already started last night.
Late reply, been a bit busy with some things, but I'm doing all right. Hope everyone is doing good. I'll be quoting those who have replied to me.
Good to hear. That invisible ink pen sounds cool, I wonder how that works? I'd imagine you'd need to look more closely to see what was written, or something like that. Thank you, I definitely will.
Yeah exactly, it's unfortunate that these retro game prices are going sky-high. It's why I don't shop for retro games anymore, and also why it pays to be grateful for what games we currently have. All those Nintendo games I've acquired over the years, especially from my childhood, aren't going anywhere. I think a lot of us like keeping those games... perhaps that's one reason why they've gotten so expensive? No rush from me, by the way. You're free to play whatever you want at the end of the day.
That's cool. It's been a while since I played Dreamlight Valley... I should come back to it sometime. I know I saw bits and pieces of Pocahontas, but that was years and years ago. The scene that I remember the most was the scene with the song, Colors of the Wind (I think that's what that song was called). I remember it because it was a sneak peek preview that was on The Lion King VHS that we had. I've never watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame... I did hear it's pretty underrated, IIRC. All righty, I might try out Disney Speedstorm at some point. My backlog is... a bit packed at the moment, and sometimes real life can kind of get in the way, lol. I kinda wanna finish Tears of the Kingdom, as well.
Gosh, that's a petty reason to be upset. And that's coming from someone who wants to get Super Mario RPG at some point. If there's a game that doesn't look appealing to me, I'd just move on.
Oh that's right I forgot about that. I don't have a lot of spare copies of GBA/DS games myself, and games in general, really. Most of my multiplayer sessions were on consoles.
Glad you're doing alright, I'm doing good. After a busy week, went out Friday afternoon to shop for Trolls and get cocoa. Got two plushies out of the trip!
You guessed right. If you hold it up to the light, you could see the patterns on the pages. Not up to the light as in looking through it, but shining the light on it and seeing the patterns. It's pretty cool, and I wish these were around when I was a kid.
Indeed, though I could make game resellers mad as I have the Game Boy Player disc. I also have a Game Boy Player somewhere, and I think I'll plug it into my GameCube again. I don't really play my GBA out much anymore, and play the games at home, so why not have it out again. Definitely, I always end up keeping the games I like, and I never understood the reason to selling a game, aside from not liking it.
I think that may be the only preview I've seen of it actually, I remember that sneak peak from the Lion King VHS. Speaking of Disney, I saw the coolest thing last night. Disney+ has a very special episode of the show Alice's Wonderland Bakery up, so I watched it. Remember how I said original Alice is Alice's great grandmother? Well, the special episode, the original voice actress for Alice from Alice In Wonderland, Kathryn Beaumont, reprises her role as the original Alice. (Actual episode spoiler) Young Alice finds a cookbook, and a message was written in it, and the message was narrated by an elderly Alice, who is voiced by Kathryn Beaumont. One of the nicest nods I've seen. Alrighty, whenever you can. I think you might like it despite the F2P elements in the game.
Indeed, also it's so easy to do to by not playing it and moving on.
Yeah, the few times my friend visited, we played Sonic Battle and Sonic Advance 3. We also did console games, and last time he was over, we played Star Wars Racer and Mortal Kombat 3 over LAN.
@Princess_Lilly Yeah, I started last night with the Alice's Wonderland Bakery Halloween episode and revisiting the My Little Pony episode Bats. I have, I know this is an unpopular opinion (and would probably get flamed if I said it on any social media site), it's not my cup of tea. Though I'm being reminded that I'm probably going to watch Hocus Pocus sometime this month.
Thanks. I'll say it was a nice afternoon out. Took a ride to a local shopping center, treated myself to some new Trolls plushies, and the cocoa was nice. Just sitting there in the coffee shop enjoying it. Not bad after a busy week.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@Sunsy Well, I can totally understand it. Nightmare Before Christmas is highly stylized and not everyone likes it. I for one love it, but I know someone who doesn't even want to look at the screen when I watch it every year.
Bats, was it that episode when Fluttershy became a vampire and the rest had to catch her? She looked so adorably!
Shopping center and coffee shop sounds like a perfect finish for a week. I had such an exhausting week, and I overworked myself so badly on Friday, I can feel myself slowly regenerating through the saturday. Wouldn't go to the cafe if they offered me a pony. But I got some wheat coffee and it's a heavenly combination with milk!
Bring me the sesame, miso, citrus and pepper flavored fish cakes
Busy busy BUSY. Haunted house season is in full swing and we got slammed last night thanks to Friday the 13th and the horror character themed special event we had going for it. Now playing catch-up at home until round 2 this evening.
@Sunsy Yep, plus making anything really elaborate seems to require using a lot of different dishes and containers. Some ingredients are also either expensive and/or hard to find where I live unless I travel somewhat far. At that point I'd rather just buy something lol.
What Halloween specials are you into? I like the classic "It's The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown", but that's about the extent of what I get to. I play a couple of scarier themed games sometimes, but other than a short VN I've played before, not much this year.
@MarioLover92 Anything resembling snow is an extreme rarity in Florida IIRC, whereas California does get snow in higher elevation areas. None near Disneyland of course! XD The Haunted Mansion is what's classified as a dark ride, basically a slow-moving (Well, usually) indoor ride that contains animations, sounds, special effects, and almost always some type of theme. They don't even need to be scary; some are quite adventurous, and "tunnels of love" are the same concept. I'd LOVE to go to Super Nintendo World, though sadly the Japanese original is out of reach for now. California is...somewhat doable, but I'm waiting for Universal Orlando to receive an equivalent too. I'd prefer more rides too, but even the experience (expensive as it'll be I'm sure) will be worth it already for fans IMO.
Acting in the haunted house is probably the closest I can get to around here with improv acting, not to mention cosplay in a sense (though more scary/entertainment stuff). That said, one of our new recruits this year actually does dress up for conventions and has made a couple costumes. We had a special horror icon themed event yesterday for Friday the 13th, which included video game baddies as well. This recruit had an amazing homemade Pyramid Head costume! We also had a Clicker and I think a character related to Dying Light (not familiar with this game at all TBH).
Currently playing: Pokemon Scarlet DLC, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Switch)
