A draft from the other night:
I'm watching Big Top Pee-wee in honor of Paul Reubens. It's not nearly as watchable as Pee-wee's Big Adventure, but it's a comfort movie for me, and hey it's free to watch (Amazon Prime).
Paul Reubens... What a loss. Like many other folks my age, I grew up watching Pee-wee - especially Pee-wee's Playhouse. He had a big impact on me. He was like a light in a dark world. It may sound corny, but it's absolutely true.
I actually made a Pee-wee Herman character the last time I was playing around with The Sims 4. It was kinda funny, hehe... For the record, I found I actually hate Sims 4, and much prefer the earlier versions of the game! Maybe I should play Sims 1 again, or maybe Sims 2...
Speaking of gaming, I finally got my copy of Animal Crossing: New Leaf to work again! I actually bought another copy of it just the other day! But I finally tried a factory reset on my 2DS and now it works! I'd been thinking it was a faulty cartridge the whole time, don't know why I didn't think to reset it!
I'm almost a year into making my town, Toot!
Also been having fun with some even older video games, but that's for another time! GTG |

I've been playing a lot of video games. Last month, we finally received our Analogue Pocket, which we preordered about a year prior! It was a very exciting day! I called it the ninth day of Hanukkah because it was like the gifts just kept coming!
Then more recently, we got a Gameboy link cable to enable us to play 2-player! J lets me have the Analogue Pocket, and he's on a Gameboy Light. We play Puyo Puyo 2 (puzzle game with falling pieces - similar [yet different] from Tetris) and Gameboy Baseball (so good!).
I could go on and on about how the Analogue Pocket is breathing new life into Gameboy games! I love it so much! I love old games! Especially when they're in vivid colors on a beautiful, crisp OLED screen! ♡
But yeah, man... Baseball is really good! It's challenging and fun! J and I really get competitive over it! LOL And I'm also learning a lot about the game of baseball in general. Makes me think of my Pa, who loved baseball.
I'm going to try to post a real life update tomorrow! |

Like half of my Animal Crossing island is FUBAR (fucked up beyond all recognition). I had big plans! I was going to make a cul de sac for all my villagers' houses, but it went all wrong! It's so messed up now that I even considered restarting the entire game! But I could never! I've been playing since the game's release in March 2020, so I have two years of progress!
It's going to take a lot of work to unfuck my island. One thing I hate about Animal Crossing: New Horizons is progress is so s l o w! You have to take it square by square, and it takes for-fuckin-ever!
Anyway... I'm totally lost on what to do with my island. I was thinking of a fast food restaurant though. It's been done, but that's honestly for the best because that way I know there will be designs available! |

Oh, man! I'm so super stoked for the Animal Crossing: New Horizons update that comes out on 11/5!! It's come at just the right time, just as the game was starting to get a little stale for me. This is going to quite literally change the game!
I don't even know what else to say! I'm just really fucking excited about all the new items, and stuff! The Roost and Brewster, of course! And gyroids, which like... I've played Animal Crossing: New Leaf before, but I never really "got" gyroids. Maybe that'll change with this update! I mean, they're kind of cute I guess, but I never understood their purpose and always just sold them whenever I'd dig them up in New Leaf.
I feel like this is really going to revive my interest in Animal Crossing! |

I've been playing lots of Tetris 99, which is a new release that just came out maybe a week ago. It's free if you pay for a Nintendo membership (or whatever it's called) for your Switch.
Screenshot c/o Nintendo
It's a battle royale version of the classic Tetris game. The game is played online with 99 players total (hence the title). The object of the game is to be the last player remaining, and there's a big list at the end, and it tells you how you scored.
When I first started playing, I was #86 of 99, but I got better and better with practice! Now, I'm usually able to get below 50 (but not always)! My high score: I got to #9 on the list yesterday! Pretty proud of myself for that, just wish I'd taken a screenshot for posterity! LOL
( Old lady rambling about not getting Pokemon... )
Haven't played Stardew Valley in a long while! A little intimidated. Might give it another go tomorrow when I'll have time for a good, long sesh. I'll have to do some research tonight in preparation. I caught a fish last time, but like, I don't know how? LOL |
