Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

am i allowed to say …?

Kirby went out of his mind with nervousness. After breakfast, he didn't eat, not even sweets, until he was able to open his presents.
Was i this nervous on christmas?
This year, i finally managed to live without any festive disturbance; haven't been near a season market, only heard Last Christmas once—a cover version as well, so, am i allowed to say, i haven't heard it at all?—, stores weren't heavily decorated, didn't have an business on any of the big shopping streets/malls, no cards, just a happy holidays from the few people that can reach me. Bliss.

Thankfully, Kirby was happy with all the TMNT stuff he got.
Later we learned, Playmates lost the master license for TMNT1. It seems Mutant Mayhem didn't reignite the interest in the franchise as much as the animated series before Rise of the TMNT did, and the IDW comic has become a second X-Men scenario since i stopped reading. We also started playing Lego DC Villians, and reached the conclusion we had with any other Lego game: they have good ideas and details, yet are badly made. The thing froze two times, input lag is weirdly high—tested with three controllers and Joy-Cons—, two player mode brakes camera perspective … we probably need a bigger screen to play it as intended, still, the game freezing up is something i encountered with Lego Batman 3 on the PS4 as well. Good thing it cost us four euros.
The Wife got Animal Crossing: New Horizons from her boss, and that worked fine—which is not a valid comparison, i just wanted it to be written down.
