YOURTURN

Last update since I have realized that I have a lot of FUN (read: lots of games and merch) updates I cannot get myself to post. So I'll address the Secret Santa scenario and why I feel broken:

- I said that lost my cat to old age.
FACT: I had my cat from the time she was 10 weeks old to the day she passed the 18 year mark. At the end I had a family member not making the anxiety easy on me, and I ended up talking about my cat's endgame during the time she ended up dying. After that some have told me that I should just get another cat. In the end I felt that some of you guys would be sympathetic, which made me want to surprise those who did with a "thank you" themed Christmas gift.

- I also said that I was in a car accident shortly after I got it paid off.
FACT: This shook me up, but I finally ended up getting an EV. I do not do road trips, and my hope was to put any gas money into the rebuilding of my hobby... Which turned out to be sealed/graded video game stuff while I was trying to avoid it during my return to Tokyo.

- I also listed a few bad things that I had experienced in Japan.
FACT: I also bought both a brand new Switch OLED and a brand new Japan exclusive, Nintendo produced Tears of the Kingdom pro controller for less than what a standard Switch costs in NA. I also ended up making the best out of every bad situation, down to the fact that I had decided it was time to rethink my past decisions. Just like I did when I was doing everything ranging from me rebuilding my collection to X'mas shopping.

- I also said none of that was a reason for me to not do the Secret Santa bit. Because in the end, I also said that my year was a "country music song" and not an excuse to snub you guys.
FACT: That reference is tied to the old joke that every time I guy loses something, a country music song is born. Or do I need to have a dog, a truck, a wife, and have all three run away with each other?

- What I said that had me not do the Secret Santa was the following: I would aim to get the chosen member the perfect gift, get lost to the point I went from being in California to the French-Canadian portion of Canada, me experiencing the French guard scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and ultimately find out that some punk kid made headlines by making money after they subbed it to Wata for a profit.
FACT: I try too hard to buy gifts for people I have never met, and had a few issues that made me not be successful in the end. Plus, my reason for not doing it was a... Wait for it... A satire.

In the end I was told something that sums up as "Asking you to edit or delete your post is not an option for us." and "Here are things we assume you know nothing about." Despite the fact that I have TRIED to be a member here since MAY 18, 2020.

I'm done. No clue what that means, but I can say that I miss NintendoAge.
