September Favourites

I was thinking about what to talk about in this month's favourites and I couldn't think of much. This month went past pretty quick with work and stuff so I don't remember much that went on. The weather hasn't been very spring-like here as it has been raining most days with temperatures in the tens. Some days we even had stacks of hail which I haven't seen for a long time. Hopefully it will warm up soon and we can all get some use out of our summer attire! Just a quick monthly favourites this month as I don't have much going on.

Gaming

This month I've mainly just been playing some 3DS here and there as well as some Sims 4. Found a bunch of game packs on clearance at some stores so I was able to get some more content for my game. Picked the perfect time honestly to get into the game as I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for the content. 

The other day Nintendo announced some exciting things in their Direct video. First off is Brewster finally in Animal Crossing New Horizons! I'm happy he is coming back as I miss all the old characters and I'm sure others do to. I was actually playing New Leaf the other day on my 3DS and it made me sad that so many cool characters were removed in New Horizons. I wonder what content Brewster will bring to the game and I haven't played for ages so it gives me an excuse to try the game out again.

Another piece of interesting news was the Disney Magical World 2 remaster for the Nintendo Switch. My friend sent me a messaging asking if I had seen the new Disney game for the switch they announced and I was over the moon thinking it was a new game or a port of the arcade version exclusive to Japan. Then all my excitement went down the drain when I discovered what it actually was. Like who was asking for a rerelease of the 2nd game? I've already played that one and still own it! I read about some DLC being included which is just clothing and items. Nothing worthy of being called Enchanted. At least the first game had DLC that added new regions and that would've been worth the remaster or just combine both into a set. I'm waiting until it comes out in December to see if anything new has been added but I just don't have the time nowadays to grind at a game I've already completed. I do miss taking cute screenshots in the game :( The pose mechanic in that game was hilarious!

April Favourites

Yet again another month has flown by super quick and means it's time for another monthly favourites! I actually did a stack of things this month most of which was decluttering belongings. One day I was just like 'I feel like I own too much stuff' and I started clearing out things. A large bag of clothes for younger relatives, a few bags for the op-shop of various items and sold a bunch of gaming stuff off to friends. The biggest clean out item was books and DVD's. Over the years, I've gained quite a collection of DVD's but I stepped back to take a look at them all and thought 'jeez I never watch like 60% of this stuff'. So I spent ages watching a whole bunch of DVD's to determine whether they spark joy or not and ended up getting rid of like 50 DVD's! The books were much easier as I decided to get a Kindle so I could read more on the go and store them digitally rather than physically. I had all the Janet Evanovich novels which took up heaps of space so I donated them all to various op-shops and just kept my favourite series of her's which is the Wicked Series. Seriously Janet? When are we going to get the next book in the series?!?! I've been waiting years! Also got rid of a lot of other random books that I was never going to use and will hold off buying anymore physical ones. Here's a photo of my lovely Kindle that I'm obsessed with! I got the Paperwhite and it's so lightweight and easy to use. The Kindle store has stacks of books about theme parks which I'm super excited to read. My current book is Action Park: Fast Times, Wild Rides, and the Untold Story of America's Most Dangerous Amusement Park and I've been enjoying it!

Also got a bunch of new stickers! I actually got quite a few this month and I'll probably post a small haul next month. Here's a quick photo of all the ones I got at Daiso last week! The first Daiso I went to didn't have many stickers at all or anything exciting really. But then I went to the one closer to my house and they had so many!!! Not sure why the original store isn't carrying much stock, but I'm going there again tomorrow so I'll check out to see if the selection has improved.

Gaming

I've decided to stick with digital games from now on (Style Boutique will be the exception if it ever comes out on Switch) and cancelled my pre-order for Pokemon Snap. I didn't want to buy another physical game until I played through current ones. Just been playing some SELFY COLLECTION which I'm so close to completing the entire game. It's taking ages to grind money to buy all the items and it's kinda boring. I only really do it when I don't want to think about stuff and just press buttons. One game that did just get released that I never thought I'd see is Castaway Paradise on the Switch!! I played this game a lot on Steam ages ago and couldn't believe it when I saw it appear on the eShop. Had some eShop credit from a gift so I picked it up and it's still charming. It's pretty much the same game and it's not something you'd play for ages. I just play a bit here and there. Much easier to make money at the start as I know the tricks. I hope it does well on the Switch as the game is fun and it's nice to support indie developers.

Music

Have to admit that I did clear out some CD"s this month. None of my Korean or Japanese pop music ones of course! My CD storage was over flowing and unfortunately I couldn't keep somethings. I brought a stack of CD's back in March at an op-shop but my collection was becoming a bit too much to store so back to the op-shop went a portion of them. Mainly things that I wasn't attached to and wasn't hardcore collecting. Plus I always burn the CD's into iTunes so I can still listen to the songs!! The cases were pretty destroyed as well which is common with op-shop CD's.
