I know y'all have been worried.  I was gone for a long time.  You can all rest easy, because I'm back to VGCollect!

I had a lot to catch up on. You folks are talkers.

Oh God, did anybody see the new Mega Man 11 stuff?

Yeah, watching the stream right now.

That worked. Thanks so much for the help, everyone. I work with computers every day, but simple things like this always seem to baffle me.

Heh, now I see all your sigs stacked on top of each other. In case that's what you wanted!
Totally understandable. I'm glad I taught myself super basic HTML back in the day - it comes in handy for all sorts of things. I can figure out other basic tags, but I'm still struggling with SQL at work. Can't wrap my head around the schema stuff.

Looks like Mighty No. 9

Honestly, all I want to know is if the X collection is going to come with a physical release.

I can't see the footage because of the firewall at work, but from what I can tell it's more like Mega Man 8 than the original Mega Man titles.

EDIT: Just saw a few seconds of footage; very Mega Man 8-ish. I like it!!

So UPS strikes again.  So I had 2 packages out for delivery yesterday, and around 515pm they marked it as delivered as "Delivered to Customer Man".  My security system shows no delivery attempt.  So either someone was standing near my property and intercepted the packages from the UPS guy claiming to be me, or the UPS guy delivered it to the wrong house.

Spent from 5:20pm to 9pm on the phone with UPS, Gamestop, and Target trying to get it sorted.  UPS started an investigation into the driver and package.  Gamestop was utterly useless.  Target refused to talk to me until after the expected delivery date of Dec 6th, regardless of the fact that it says "delivered".

I got my first Switch game. It was an unexpected, early Christmas present.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This, Lost Sphear and Atelier Lydie will keep my very busy when I finally get my Switch.

I have a spurious unresearched theory that I will be getting a Switch for my birthday. We'll see if I was right about that

Nice! New consoles make lovely birthday presents.

I hope so, it's a really great system so far.

Kind of freaking out because I have two more packages out for delivery today and these are pricier packages.

I feel this need to upgrade my security system.

Edit: Fuck 3 packages.

I've been having issues lately with our mailstaff just leaving things on our doorstep. I don't really mind that too much since (thankfully) we haven't had problems with missing packages. But when I get delivery notices saying "signature required" for various items and *all* of them are left on the doorstep with no knock/doorbell/attempt to reach a human, it's a little annoying. One item: a brand new laptop. Another item: a PS4. I mean, why bother shipping anything out that requires a signature when the delivery person can just override it so they can go on their merry way?

An addendum: the PS4 was dropped off on our doorstep at 10:45pm. No knock, no doorbell. I'm glad someone in the house happened to open the door to find the item, 'cause who knows if it would've been there in the morning. Sucks that the delivery person was working so late but come onnnnnn guys.
