Happy MAR10 Day everyone! I plan to celebrate by putting more time into my Bowser's Inside Story + BJJ run on 3DS. A lucky coincidence I'm playing this right now lol. I did also give the Princess Peach Showtime demo a spin yesterday. I'd call it a B tier platformer; it's an enjoyable game, but not one I'll snap up day one.

It's also come to my attention that it's Mother's Day in the UK, so happy Mother's Day to all the moms, whether they're in the UK or elsewhere.

@Sunsy No problem at all, just take a pic or three when you're up for it. As for amiibo, I don't commonly see them in stores anymore, at least not Walmart. I'm sure GameStop still has a few on display, but I haven't been to my local one for several months. That might change with the TTYD Switch port release though; I'll probably preorder in store.

Hope everyone had a great Mario Day. I got to play in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online tournament, and I also played some Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario 64. Looking forward to the next Mario movie and the Paper Mario: TTYD remake, as well!

@Tyranexx You know, that reminds me, Capcom did that with Mega Man earlier! They made Mega Man: Powered Up (a remake of Mega Man 1) for the PSP, and that has a cutesy art style. It came with a level creator too, nine years before Super Mario Maker came out.

Oh shoot... sorry to hear you're not feeling so hot. I hope you feel better real soon, and get plenty of rest if you can. Good to hear your mom's getting better at least. All righty sure, will do. Last year, I got my mom some "mom" house decorations... one of them says "best mom ever" and is in one of our glass cabinets. She loves scented candles too, so I also got her a couple of them!

Oh I agree for sure, it's totally fine to play on easy mode. Not everyone enjoys playing on harder difficulties... oh and it might be a good time for me to bring this up. I feel like I'm getting a bit worse at games as I get older... I don't really know why I've gotten a bit more mistake-prone in them. One of my recent Mario Kart races ended badly because of that. Though, I do try not to be hard on myself, because everyone makes mistakes. Most of my other races went well, just thought I'd clarify. Splatoon's music is great, a lot of the tracks have lyrics, but they're all in a made-up language. The Inklings and all the others in the Splatoon universe have their own language, so to speak.

That's cool you've seen those as a kid. I liked Mary Poppins, I especially liked the songs in that movie... the special effects were great for the time as well. In case you're wondering, there's just one segment where it's part animated and part live-action. Most of the movie is live-action only. I'd say that part was done well. I'd recommend seeing the movie itself... it'd be interesting to see what you'd think of it. Oh, is The Black Cauldron any good? I'm kind of curious about that one.

@Princess_Lilly Oh gotcha, you work at a mine huh? Good to hear they've got a hot spring at least. My younger brother's been to a coal mine for a field trip many years back, but I've not been in one.

@Sunsy Happy belated Mario Day. I played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and Super Mario 64 to celebrate. There was an online tournament for MK8D that I got to play in, and I played as Peach in that game. I did pretty decent in the tournament overall.

Yeah... to be honest, I kinda like my new username more now. If only the Switch's usernames could be longer though! Maybe for the Switch 2. I also have myself as an Animal Crossing villager as my profile picture!

Yeah. I think I had it in... 1999, I wanna say? I'm guessing that year since Pokemon was the first anime I saw, I saw that before checking out Sailor Moon. Oh gotcha, I don't think I've seen the anime you've seen. I've also been seeing Black Clover and Trigun in more recent years. Gosh, I didn't even know there was a Phantasy Star Online 2 anime. Didn't PSO2 come out on Xbox a few years ago? I know the first one's on Dreamcast.

That's cool, I've heard of FaceBall 2000. It does look like a quirky little game, lol.

Ok gotcha, yeah I'm not too huge into the stuff that free-to-play games usually does. Glad you're enjoying the game nonetheless. I'm guessing they want you to buy Ariel, huh? Good thing you got Prince Eric at least, as well as getting Anna and Elsa.

Good morning.
Today is the first day of Fasting Day in Indonesia.
They will do fasting from early morning to sunset.
And the school get one day holiday for first day of Fasting day.
The school activity will back to normal on this Wednesday.

It's raining in the morning here. 😕
Kinda bummer.

@MarioVillager92 Interesting; I've heard of Mega Man: Powered Up, but I had no idea it was a remake of MM1 in a cutesy style. I never looked into it much and assumed it was a spinoff.

On my health; thanks. I've been resting most of this weekend and worked from home today too. I have gotten out for a couple of leisure walks though since it's fairly decent outside. I am feeling better, not quite 100%, but getting there. The worst part now is the cough. Those sound like gifts your mom would appreciate! A friend is actually getting me into scented candles a bit, though they can't be too strong or perfume-y. When I'm not stuffified, strong non-food smells can actually really bother me.

Right; ultimately, everyone should play their own game copy to their satisfaction; its their time and money, after all! In terms of reflexes, I think there is some documentation out there that our reaction times in games get progressively worse as we get older, though that depends on the genre. I didn't like some games like FPS and shmups even when I had the reflexes for them. Heck, I started getting cramped hands on a few longer sessions of Super Mario Bros. Wonder; anything to do with the Special World levels lol. I had to take breaks. Glad your other races went well. I think I will give the Splatoon OST a listen at home then; sounds like the lyrics, nonsensical as they are, might bother me a bit in my crazier work concentration moments. I do a lot of mental work with my job sometimes.

Yeah, I need to give Mary Poppins a fair chance sometime. Thinking back, I think another problem with kid me was it wasn't fully animated. XD The Black Cauldron is...different. One that's worth at least one watch if you're into fantasy settings. No music numbers that I can really recall, and it wasn't afraid to get dark for a Disney film. It's loosely based on the first two books in The Chronicles of Prydain by Lloyd Alexander. The film has an interesting history in relation to Disney and wasn't very popular when it initially released in the 80s, but it was later released on home video in the late 90s. It now has a cult following.

@Tyranexx
I'm not really interested with Mary Poppins, but I really like the Eurobeat version of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious from DDR Disney Mix on PS1.

The original of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious song sounds meh in my opinion, but the Eurobeat version sounds way much better for me.

Hi.

@Tyranexx Look up Roham Mythril on Youtube, he did a buster only no damage playthrough of Mega Man Powered Up some years ago, quite entertaining actually.

Looking at the music choices for my fifth story telling, it looks interesting.
I see combination of music's from Gravity Circuit, Pokemon X, Harvest Moon Save the Homeland, FF IX, FF X, FF X-2, FF XIII, Miitopia, Sly Cooper 2, etc.
I included Sly Cooper since there will be a thievery scene at museum from my story telling and Sly Cooper songs is perfect for that scene.
The Gravity Circuit with very Eurobeat Megaman musics really fit for the beginning and the end of the story.
I also used certain Sailor Moon music, Blockbuster by Dave King (Britain's Next Top Model elimination song), Minueto to for non gaming musics for my fifth story telling.

I saw these Trolls “pom poms” blind boxes while out shopping, and thought they looked neat so I got one.

@Eel
The Bruce looked slimmer than the original design in movie.
How about the other Brozone members like John Dory, Clay, Floyd and Branch ?
Fun fact, John Dory is an ocean fish name.

@Anti-Matter all four of the brothers in the set look pretty similar to each other (in terms of proportions)

(Click the pic to see it better)

@Eel
Well, too bad they have similar faces for the toys version. 😟
Wait, no Floyd because his hairstyle is different?

@Anti-Matter they’re probably just saving him for a Series 2

thanks to mentions about ramadan I finally made and ate a healthy breakfast today, first time in months

I got the day planned out:

1. Go see "Kung Fu Panda 4" at my theater.
2. Go for Chinese buffet for lunch.
3. Pick up "Wish" on Blu-Ray.

Ah, I have to teach again on Wednesday after quite long holiday from 8 - 12 March 2024.
I will teach Art lesson grade 3 on Wednesday and my agenda on this month is making poster about product / movie / campaign / event.
They have two weeks to finish their poster drawing.
This March and April 2024 will have some one week holiday again.

Huh, apparently there’s a new post here but only mine is the newest one?

@card-crunch78 That means you have been Ignored AND Blocked by a person. You can't see their comment. Some people use this system even for the smallest of inconveniences or irritations.

It felt quite weird to think again about Trolls 3 Band Together movie after got really hyped during late November to December 2023 then I felt quite bored after 4 months later.
Maybe my hype with something got replaced by something new.
