@Eel It had a good life

That reminds me that we lost Sonic in January to the terrible illness of meningitis Also we learned that it was a she not a he We tried to save her, but it was hopeless. We buried her where I found her almost 4 years ago. She was a good spikey ball of aggression

@Anti-Matter yes it can be reset, the “good” ending actually involves your previous tamagotchi entrusting you an egg, though functionally it’s the same the bad ending where it doesn’t; you just reset the game.

@Zuljaras Oh no, I’m sorry to hear that! if I remember correctly, the truth is that you actually gave her all this extra time, so that’s something you can be proud about.

She’s now biting fingers in the great beyond.

@Eel Yep, we gave her a little more than 3 years extended life I hope she is raising hell in heaven

Been browsing eBay in search of some older gaming systems for the past couple weeks and listings like these crack me up because you can just immediately tell that they're the result of a used market going horribly wrong XD

Damn I have a lot of messages to catch up to xDDDD

@Zuljaras Sorry to see Sonic passed away. I'm sure you gave her a good life, even if she sometimes didn't seem appreciative with the finger biting.

@Fizza Sadly, the "box only" inflation happens on this side of the pond too. Sometimes people will do anything to make a buck.

On an unrelated note, I finished Ace Attorney Trilogy recently! I recently posted some brief impressions on Trials and Tribulations in the Games You Recently Beat thread if you're curious.

@Sunsy I typically cut myself off of any caffeine - though I don't require a lot anyway - around noon. Once in awhile I'll have some later in the day in the form of green or matcha tea, but the caffeine content is low. I do hope that shrimp salad was good. I'll eat shrimp in any form except raw (unless it's in sushi, but usually then it is prepared in some way). I enjoy fried food, but it's something I rarely have due to the negative health effects. Plus, some deep fried stuff actually does irritate my stomach if I have too much since I'm not used to it.

@MarioVillager92 Glad your PC is doing okay. Hopefully it was one of those once in awhile hiccups that doesn't indicate anything more serious. Regarding Smash, Nintendo needs to run dedicated servers for a better experience when it comes to this type of game. P2P connections can be faster to make but unstable. At least a dedicated server could manage a connection should at least one client have issues and make things a better experience for all (This is a major simplification lol).The problem with dedicated servers from a business standpoint is they cost more money when it comes to maintaining or renting the hardware and associated manpower. The screen flipping I could adapt to, but I absolutely hate reversed controls in games.

Nightmare In Dream Land is certainly the best way to play Kirby's Adventure. The latter is worth going through at least once from a historic view, but the former definitely helped modernize the game and is one of the better Kirby games in general. On TTYD: I haven't played it too much this week, but I last saved on Day 3 of Chapter 6. I like that it's a mystery gauntlet, even if I don't think much of our residential private eye. I also expected a bit more entertainment than a game over for reading the Toad ghost's diary. XD Dragon Quest V has perhaps my favorite plot in any mainline Dragon Quest game I've played to date. Some games that came later have better gameplay, controls, and battle systems, but it's a fairly unique take on the "chosen hero" trope. You also can choose between two ladies to marry (three in later versions) and recruit monsters to fight in your party. The monster recruiting concept was later expanded on in the Dragon Quest Monsters spinoffs.

I occasionally game on PC since some franchises I like aren't always on Nintendo systems. Nothing that's resource intensive since my laptop isn't really built for gaming. Hence why I want to build a PC before long. I don't mind the occasional mature game, though many franchises I gravitate to are rated T and down. I'm not touching a Dark Souls game unless they make a non-masochist version. XD That's adorable your cats would follow your mom when she'd ride that bike! That was only a small twinge work my mom's knee; she really did it when she and my dad were on vacation a few years ago. She got a knee replacement over a year ago, which has helped a lot. Sadly I share very few interests with my dad. Much of my family TBH. If I didn't have some family features, I'd be convinced I was switched at birth or adopted.

@Kermit1doesmath I love greek yogurt.
@ThatWeirdGuy good morning wake up

@ThatWeirdGuy Yay you finally responded. Thought you died.
I'm so excited tomeet Dezi. I got on my favorite purple dress, and my Yor pin. And Ima eventually put in my pink earrings.

@ThatWeirdGuy I'm meeting her around like 4-5 my time. I gotta sit in a car for like 2 hours to get to Lansing and I leave at like 3 so yeah

@ThatWeirdGuy I will enjoy my timeI'm sure of it. I bought us matchng bracelets (The girly tween side is coming out of me for this meetup) and matching star pins, I'm excited to give them to her

@ThatWeirdGuy Yeeee
God what am I gonna do in the car for 2 hours though

@ThatWeirdGuy I don't like sleeping in cars anymore. Wrecks my sleep schedule.
Yayyyy, books. I lately only been reading comics. But it's still literature.

@ThatWeirdGuy I've liked comics all my life, thank you very much. Also yeah maybe. I also did my nails. I painted them aternating pink and some sort of like metalic sorta purple? And then little sprinkles on them. Took me all day but I love them. Did my toenails to match too

@ThatWeirdGuy I mean I've been painting my nails since forever. Not a tween girly girl thing. If it was that I'd go get acrylics (which I will never do).

@EllaTheQueen6 I’d say that’s a cute nail color choice. Sprinkles are a nice touch too. Bet it came out hella good.

@Yousef- Thanks. I'd show you if I could

@ThatWeirdGuy Well Dezi's a good friend of mine. And she probably had to beg her mom for this. I can't go out in a simple oversized Sailor Moon t-shirt, I gotta look nice

@ThatWeirdGuy Well Dezi wouldn't care either. If she knocked on my door at 3 PM and I answered it without my glasses and wearing my pajamas she wouldn't care. Also speaking of glasses, I just chose the same frame for the new pair I'm getting. I'm so unwilling to try new things smh

@ThatWeirdGuy Because if I didn't like the new frames I chose, I had to deal with it for another year. Yes I cantry on frames at the doctors office, but I'm the kind of idiot to either, tyring to be quick, choose somethign I don't like, or take too long choosing. So I'm keeping my purple and green and black glasses that I know I love

@ThatWeirdGuy Ok fine, I will. Also I hate those stupid roll sunglasses you gotta wear after the doctor. I look so stupid in them
