Do you know what I hate most about playing Mario Party games???


When my rolls, even with multiple dice blocks, are so damn low. It happens so often, more than you think. Especially right before a star or item shop spot.

Edit: When I played on Bowser’s Magma Mountain in Mario Party just now in a 35 turn minigame, 1/3 (one-third) of my rolls were 1s, 2s, and 3s. I’m not joking!
Most of them were right before Boo, or the star, and even Koopa Troopa!

Hey, everyone. I'm not sure any of you noticed, but yesterday (May 17 2025) marked 10 years since I first used this account for YouTube, which I thought was today just a few days ago since I was planning to celebrate with Mario Party 2. I remember when I didn't know how to really use it or what my Watch Later was or even the knowledge of subscriptions. All I did was watch YouTube videos that I wanted to look for and they were entertaining ones before I used this account to use YouTube. Then, I started subscribing to others for the first time, before I started making and uploading videos myself. Then I subscribed to more and more users that were my favorites at the time or who I have appreciated or known. Can't forget about liking videos, adding videos to playlists, commenting, live chats.
But livestreaming became the next thing I knew about and did often from July 2017 to August 2019 before slowing down stepping back, having new interests, struggling with time management and goals where I either did it a lot or not really at all, but still less frequently than those two years. Man, those days were good days when I would plan to make YouTube videos and livestreams by playing and completing the games that I had. Goals were great even though some were left out. Still having a low audience on YouTube despite the number of subscribers, but that's okay. I like doing what I like anyways. You all can too!

Anyways, unfortunately, I will not be able to livestream tonight. I tried what I could but for some reason livestreaming from my basement just doesn't work anymore because I don't know what is wrong with my internet service or provider when it did just fine before. Now it is very slow when I do it down there, which is why I moved my Wii upstairs for Super Mario Galaxy. I still have to look into that Wii since I haven't and the internet problem on there. But I will record me playing for YouTube, so stay tuned for that anniversary video. Better late than never when I want to do it and share, so have a good night, everyone!

What Backstreet Boys international album with some songs on the U.S. album do you think are better or more worth listening to quality wise? The first one with We’ve Got It Goin’ On, Anywhere for You, Get Down, Quit Playing Games, and I’ll Never Break Your Heart or the second international album with Everybody, As Long as You Love Me, and All I Have to Give?
I’ve had a more fun time with the singles on the first album when I was younger more (especially Get Down), but being older, considering that I hear the three songs on the second album in places more than the previous five, I’ll have to say the second international album is more enjoyable and appealing even if there are fewer familiar songs on it. They just go better together in my opinion.
I still have many songs from both albums that I have yet to hear other than those eight songs that I mentioned.
Also, the second international album has the same cover as the first U.S. Backstreet Boys album so don’t get them confused and worry if some songs are missing.

So I saw the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct yesterday. It got me hyped up yesterday seeing the Nintendo Switch 2 system and the brand new Mario Kart game after a long time, and I liked the upgrade pack to Super Mario Party Jamboree and Nintendo GameCube classic games for Nintendo Switch Online 2!!! I don’t know if I will buy it from the start since I am still feeling anti-supportive of new games and game systems.
Anyways, I guess considering the popularity of the original Nintendo Switch, I guess the system continues to live on since now we have the 2 in its name, just like PlayStation having I believe five of them and the ones after the first four named. No surprise now hearing about Nintendo Switch 3 or 4 in the future, although I do not support similarly designed consoles anymore. I do miss the CDs that were used for games, too. Thank you Nintendo GameCube, Wii, and WiiU!

Fuck copyright laws and consequences on YouTube.
Does that mean I can’t upload TV show content at all anymore or have anything lying around from the past? How would I know if something would get a copyright claim instead of a copyright strike, which is riskier and could end the channel and all of that hard work from all of those years?

Edit: Still, though. It’s very unfair to be closer to terminiate an account like that. Not this account, but another one that I made and won’t specify. I got a copyright strike on here before when YouTube decided to later block worldwide a Drake & Josh episode from Nickelodeon UK that I created and combined with sound (since my recording had no sound). I spent several hours back in May 2020 on one night for like 8 hours rewatching Number One Fan and creating my own closed captions for it on YouTube and I didn’t sleep until 8 am! Not gonna lie, it was fun. Is that wrong that I tried going over what the people were saying to try to do this when I liked closed captions? Yes, it was a lot. But could we admit we could like appreciate watching clips, listening to music, whatever else is there too?
I still don’t understand why that video I uploaded on another channel already did get a copyright claim when I first uploaded it where it was blocked everywhere but Canada, and then it decided to give that account a strike and block worldwide. Today it happened with that. It was me uploading Nickelodeon UK video recorded with my phone of the beginning of Blues Brothers (first half) from May 2019 and then I decided to upload it as a way to celebrate 15 years of that episode.

I don’t know if something bad will happen to my channel because of this, as I still have several TV show related uploads, but I hope YouTube won’t be this strict on me and also others. When I uploaded those, I thought they could be for entertainment uses only that I found entertaining. I don’t have to make money on them. Although this was a way to get more subscribers back in 2019 and 2020 by doing something else when I was feeling lonely on YouTube and the pace was going very slow for growth, especially my subscriber and viewer count on livestreams (still the case now even with like double the subscribers as back then). Help each other, guys.

Instagram over YouTube any day for this, which doesn’t have restrictions like this. Although for the other activities, it can.

My Wii hasn’t been able to connect to the internet for some strange reason since this summer even though I put the password or key very correctly for that new connection.
Does somebody know what is up and why this has been happening?

Happy 20th Birthday, Mario Party 6! I am hoping to get this game someday because it looks great and fun! The problem is how expensive the game is on eBay! But one day!

Based on what you’ve seen, do you believe that cheerleaders and football players are overpopular?

Okay, so I have Super Mario Party Jamboree after I pre-ordered it on the Nintendo Switch eShop, but I can't guarantee anymore that I'll be able to livestream me playing tonight. I got homework assignments that are due tonight and they will take a while to finish. But I should be back in the next week to play this game on the channel for even an hour! Also to those who got the game already: Good luck and I hope you enjoyed playing it or enjoy playing it tonight or whenever you got enough spare time to play the way you want to!!
