  • Hey folks, I'm afraid that my second uncle [my maternal grandfather's sororal nephew] died today... I wasn't close to him at all so it hasn't affected me much myself, but I feel so sorry for my second cousin because she'd be about 13 or 14 now, and her dad's death was really sudden and out of nowhere - a heart attack with no underlying health conditions. It's honestly terrifying to have that happen to someone in my family, and to know that something like that could happen to someone closer to me, even healthy people, so suddenly.
    Apparently there were Northern Lights in the UK last night but I somehow never heard of it and thus missed it

    Same thing in the Netherlands. There were Northern Lights over here too, but I wasn't aware, so I missed it too.

    It was like that near the east end of my city as well, close to a small town named Echo Bay. I was in bed by the time most people saw it, and I don't think my parents or siblings saw it either.

    I'm jealous of those who got to witness a total solar eclipse today

    I was really into Astronomy as a kid so it's always been my lifelong dream to see a TSE

    There was a partial one in the U.K. when I was 12 and I literally skipped school to see it, but it was totally cloudy 😭

    The next total solar eclipse in the UK isn't until 2090 so my options are travel to another country to see one, or live to 87.

    Well either way, I hope you end up seeing one in your lifetime!

    I had a vivid nightmare about being banned from Mario Boards

    Trust me, as someone who has been banned from the Mario Boards in the past, it's not a fun experience. I don't know how lucky I've had it to have been given a second chance back in 2021.

    I SURE wouldn't want to be BANNED. That would be absolutely HORRIBLE. It would be such a TRAGEDY if me and the other people in this thread were BANNED for a little while. That would be HORRIBLE.

    Everyone knows when I was banned for two months. Loneliest two months of my life online
    Shame that Mar10 this year is being overshadowed by Mothering Sunday

    Yeah I'm British so we celebrate mothers on a different date than y'all.

    Another notable consequence of this is that I once wished my maternal grandmother a happy Mother's Day on British Mother's Day not realising that it's in May in Malaysia, where she lives.

    This month's theme is:
    • The first time in 3 years that I've themed as a Mario character despite this being a Mario forum lol (since Antasma in March 2021). That is if you don't count my "default" theme with the Amayzee Dayzee avatar.
    • The end of my 1 year streak of Ever After High themes. Which started only 2 months after I finished my 1 year streak of MLP/EqG themes
    • Only the 4th Mario character I've themed as, and it continues the streak that all of them have been villains: Grubba, Cackletta, Antasma, and Grape.
    • The very first time I'm theming as a non-RPG Mario character.
    • The first time I'm theming as a character from upcoming media
    Birthday updates:
    I went to a play yesterday which is why I wasn't around here much. It's the first time afaicr that my birthday hasn't been spent either at mandatory school/university or just chilling/gaming at home.
    My family made me a great cake (Victoria Sandwich)
    My presents were:
    • An Ever After High birthday card written in EAH lingo
    • Two EAH-themed mugs
    • Two bottles of Soju (one Peach flavour and one Mango flavour).
    • A new pair of shoes
    • Salted Caramel Brownie snacks
    • Billionaire Shortbread snacks
    Extremely belated but my Xmas 2023 presents were:
    • 8bitDo Pro 2 wireless controller. Very useful for both PC and Nintendo Switch gaming. (Edit: and mobile too)
    • Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch) with keychain and standee
    • Several pieces of baking-related equipment
    • A baking cookbook
    • Minecraft annual 2024. It was decent but not as good as previous years, especially 2017. This might be the last time I request it for Xmas as I can tell they aren't as good now, plus my interest in Minecraft isn't quite as strong as it once was
    • A webcam and microphone for my PC
    • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (Nintendo Switch). This is the only Zelda game I have played besides Zelda 1, Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask.
    • A DVD of The Super Mario Bros Movie. While I had already seen the film, now I can watch it whenever I want, and can also watch it in German which is fun.
    • A bottle of Vodka from my brother. I enjoy a drink every so often but I'm by no means a heavy drinker so I'm still working very slowly through it.
    • A scarf and a multi-purpose gift voucher from my aunt
    • Lots of various kinds of chocolates, including a box of chocolates from my paternal grandfather which was my last of many presents from him.

    I thought I said to list all the things you gave other people instead

    @Hop Pop i don't remember you asking that of me, but here you are:

    My mother: a bouquet of flowers
    My father: A voucher for fancy clothes
    My sister: A voucher for cosmetics
    My brother: Nothing because he specifically told me to not get anything
    My close friend: I baked a cake for her and also bought her chocolates (as her birthday coincides with Christmas season). I also bought a box of chocolates for her dad, who is a really nice person.

    I really regret not getting anything for my grandpa as I had no idea that would be our last Christmas together.
    I've owned TTYD for almost 5 years yet somehow today is the very first time I'm trying the arcade mini games lol (I guess I wanted to save it until I had unlocked them all, but they were locked behind specific side quests I never got round to)

    Plane mini game is meh
    Paper mini game is great
    Tube mini game is okay
    Boat mini game is okay

    Overall it's decently fun and a nice inclusion and I do appreciate that unlike SPM's arcade the mini games are actually tied to the abilities that Mario gets in the main game. However I think I still prefer SPM's arcade since it has amazing music, and I adore Tilt Island and Mansion Patrol

    I generally just love how many similarities there are between SPM's and TTYD's arcades

    Also I think it's pretty funny that if TTYD's mini games were canon, then literally everyone in that crowd would have to get cursed by the Hooktail Castle chest demon
