Merry Christmas, everyone!
A couple of things occurred today (technically yesterday as it is 2 AM as of typing on the 26th, but I don't care.)
For those who've been on the previous topics, I hadn't been able to solve the previous problem I'd been having for now.
I tried to stay up all night for Christmas (my own tradition) however I think I went out at late 6 AM. So I guess I had stayed all throughout the night. (I woke up at like 11~ or something.)
Before midnight, I was watching YouTube and trying to do stuff as I cleared some config stuff (and the Mac's chime plays at deafening volume). I then went to the living space where I was supposed to watch stuff with my sister, though we both ended up playing Roblox. Though my mom eventually did put something on. Lemme tell ya, Speed Run 4's gone through some changes, it's like an identify crisis of sorts. They changed some of the later levels and added some new levels. The new levels are very apparent, as they're in the modern style of levels (alas the Donut stages). Funnily enough the ending stage isn't touched. Also they added ...pets? Yeah, for whatever reason, you need to get a pet in order to unlock Stage 1.
During the early morning (1 - 6 AM) i decided to watch some Christmas stuff in my room and try to fix stuff with my PC at the same time. I had my door closed incase the TV was loud and so the PC startup sound wouldn't be too loud.
I tried to burn the macOS Sierra disk image to my flash drive, though i think I did it wrong, as it wouldn't boot from there, so I installed Ventoy onto the flash drive to see if I could fix anything. I did delete some partitions and just about it but that was later.
During the late morning, I waited as my family took forever to get ready. Then some pictures were taken, and presents were opened. We opened presents at like 4 PM, then it was 7 PM when we finished. I got some things, in a semi-specific order (I forgot the last part of the order) they include:
- A new pair of chanclas.
- A hat.
- An Ancestory DNA test.
- A lightbox.
- Sonic X Shadow Generations (This was a day 1 version. Includes a Legacy skin for regular Sonic, a promo for the Digital Deluxe version, and the Sonic 3 film. Also includes Gerald Robotnik's journal.)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Sonic Superstars (Also including LEGO Eggman DLC and a promo for LEGO Sonic sets.)
- Lots of cologne and smell-goods.
- Nintendo Switch Sports
- Earwax removal tools.
- A ton of colored pencils.
- Some unbranded Nintendo Switch accessories.
- Some clothes.
- A ROBLOX gift card.
And that's all I remember off the top of my head.
I played Super Mario Bros. Wonder for like a few minutes with my mom, then having to go for dinner, then returning and playing for maybe 15-30 minutes before being told to wash a bunch of dishes, then I played until a few levels into World 2. I then played Sonic Generations for an hour before going into Shadow Generations for another hour (roughly or less.)
Man, Shadow Generations is nice, the aesthetic differences are wild, especially in the options menu, pause menu, act select, and more. No spoilers though. I need to beat the game and do it justice.
Also I find it funny that Modern Sonic in Sonic Generations can do the Drop Dash. Also the physics for Classic Sonic (and I guess the controls for Modern Sonic) take some time to get used to after having only played Sonic Colors and Sonic Forces for the past "few years."
I haven't touched the other two games however. And I also lost storage space as I tried to get a DLC.
Anyway, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year, time for me to read random Guideline pages. (Right now, on https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/audio-guidelines)
