@Anti-Matter looks someone found a time machine....

@Kermit1 are you in Nova Scotia, or nearby? (waves from Halifax)

So, what do you think is sold in those PS2 boxes? A PS2 clone console? Or something worse, like a weird bogus console, with no relevance to PS2?

@Anti-Matter First off... it's already outdated! Since the Mario movie's coming out in Q1 2023 now, that is. Interesting box art though; it looks like it tried to play homage to Star Wars.

@WoomyNNYes
Here is the thing in my country.
There are a lot of recondition PS2 machines with every parts taken from old PS2 machines, polished like new, hacked for playing pirated PS2 games (or even hacked PS2 games) by HDD, given a fake cover of PS2 box with random famous games and the unfortunate peoples who have no idea about gaming world will think there are some "new" PS2 machines.
And to see Mario on PS2 cover box, just showed how hungry and so desperate the Indonesian peoples for wanting Mario on PlayStation machines so bad and I have ever found fake PS2 games with Mario on cover, labeled with random age rating (Teen LOL) and I have no idea how could it possible to play pirated Mario games on PS2 by pirated disc.
Just look at this cover.

Wow, I never knew there was Super Mario All Stars made by Sony on PS2 and the game was rated Teen. 🤣🤣🤣
I wonder what is the reaction the unfortunate peoples who bought fake Mario games and found it was a fraud.

Well, so sad my country Indonesia. 😔
They still selling pirated PS2 and Wii games by disc, offering a service to install PS2, PS3, even PS4, Switch and every single video games onto machine with Jailbreak / CFW. These are the thing you will find in my country Indonesia.
But don't worry.
There are a lot of good seller also selling original games and original machines so the games collector can get the original games and machines legally.

Oh, I will get XBOX 360 Slim machine very soon.
But forgive me.... I have to get XBOX 360 with RGH on it, just to bypass region lock only. 😣
But All my XBOX 360 games are original. 🤓
So I have to get into grey area for OG XBOX and XBOX 360 machines (free region mod but original games). 😅

@TheJGG
Well, that was the obsession of Indonesian peoples how hungry they were to put Mario on PlayStation boxes. 😅

@KateGray Hello from Nova Scotia!

Sigh well, after two SE sales on the 3DS eShop and no luck, and reading of its history of only ever receiving discounts through My Nintendo, I’ve decided to bite the bullet and buy Dragon Quest 8 for the full price.

Now I sincerely hope it never goes on sale!

That’s one more game off my 3DS doomsday wishlist.

@Eel Didn't you hear the announcement? Similar to what Capcom did a few weeks ago, Square are also holding an end of 3DS sale with stuff like Bravely Default 2 and a bunch of other games! Here's the link to the announcement trailer.

@Fizza I’ve never been happier to see that video

@Eel I've taken a cue or two from @jump. Remember my shiny Tangela in Legends Arceus? I don't I'll ever forget it after what they said....

On that note, I actually did end up calling that one Lechuga like you suggested and even evolved them into a Tangrowth. Can't wait to transfer them into HOME once that dreaded error code is fixed.

@Fizza oh there’s an error with the new home update? What’s it about?

@Fizza First time I'm hearing about an error?

You know, I love how Xbox just lets me buy all the games I want to buy, the really old stuff, buy it, and its all there on there store, and I don't have to stream it unlike some services I know (PSN COUGH)

@Eel @Snatcher Basically there's an error code (no. 10015) that causes your progress to not save after making changes to your boxes (your Pokemon are still fine, the changes just don't save). The worst part? It's completely random whether it happens or not.

The company that makes HOME, ILCA (the same team behind BDSP), apparently said they'll have it fixed by the end of May so I'm holding out until then. I'll be getting Let's Go Pikachu before that anyway so I'll be more than fine waiting.

Ah in that case I’ll avoid using it for now, thanks for the heads up.

@Snatcher Whilst we're just chatting away here, do you mind me asking if I could use your Friend Code? All I ask in return is that you keep mine private since I don't want random people constantly asking for friend requests. Let me know if that's a-ok with you!

@Fizza Thanks for the heads up! And yeah, use my friend code away, As it says below, Just ask (: Oh but how will I know it’s you, do you want to give out the user name or the first two letters?

@Snatcher Oh yeah, it's just the same name as my name here in Fizza. You'll know if it's me if I have a concerning amount of time in the Pokemon games on Switch

@Tyranexx Yes I do remember that Torna does mention plot points from the base XC2, but thanks for the reminder nonetheless.

Yeah, I mostly see squirrels and chipmunks in those walking trails. There is a large pond in the center of one of the trails too. I've actually seen a few ducks as well. I've also been seeing a bunch of baby geese following their mother while I was walking - it is quite precious to see for sure.

@cordova94 No problem, glad it's all over! I hope you have a good one!
