I'm not that old!

January fourth, I went out to pick up Danie's Acana at the vet's clinic. We only get Acana from there as this isn't sold commercially here. Then I told my son to go with me to a video shop. My son bought more games for his PS4 while I, on the other hand, got myself a Nintendo Switch! Yes, a Nintendo Switch in Splatoon 2 bundle. I couldn't play with my son's PS4 at all as I don't like the games. I like simple ones like the ones I used to play back in the 80s. I'm a Nintendo baby and I miss playing in a real game console rather than my phone. The clerk asked me if my son will set it up and I said, NO! It's mine and she just smiled. I'll be 41 in February and I still love playing Nintendo. Nobody's too old for Nintendo games anyway. Do you agree?

Love handheld devices because you can bring them anywhere. And nobody gets tired or grow old for Mario!

@TheHorse I had a pinball machine, I suppose it is still in a box somewhere in the basement.

@toniganzon Correct. I did play pinball, PacMan and that one where I had to shoot little rocket shops attacking me when I was in college, though. Galactica? I can't remember.

Wohooo! Are you 41 years old too? Did you get the bundle or just the console?

@id_peace I bought the Splatoon 2 bundle. I love that game. What games did you buy with your console? I'm planning to buy and collect amiibos too.

that is nice. my big brother bought his 3 nephews, my son included, a piece each of PSP. hahah! i don't know what those letters mean, but my son immediately lost interest playing it after 3 weeks/less than a month, so i took it. every night before i slept, i played one game, even when my mother was in the hospital. now, that PSP is in my room; candy crush took over PSP. we can be young at heart despite our age

Do you have your dog the acana so it won't get the red stains around the eyes and mouth that some lighter breeds get? If you enjoy gaming then you are never too old for it! I hope you enjoy it!

@toniganzon I had read when my dog was a puppy about certain breeds having the more noticeable stains from the food. I did notice my dog had them more when I gave her Ol'roy a cheap brand. Last month when I went out around Christmas the aisle was empty and besides the really expensive brands I could only get Gravy Train. She smelled the whole month from eating that junk. I will never buy it again!

@shaggin When I had a dachshund, most compliment I get from people are that her coat was so shiny. It was because of acana. With Danie, every time people hug her, they say the same thing, she doesn't smell like a dog, and her coat is so soft. And she doesn't have tartar. I noticed that none of my dogs that were fed on Acana ever went to the vet because they got sick. That's why even though Acana is really expensive here compared to other dog food, I would never switch to cheaper ones. Other than the fact that it's expensive to go to the vet, I don't like going through an emotional stress. Some people who can't afford expensive quality food, would rather cook vet approved home made meals than buy cheap dog food.

They still do get the stain but it's not due to allergic reaction. There are several reasons why light coloured dogs get tear stains and one of them is allergy to food. Commercially produced dog foods contain mostly fillers like grains that's why the dogs pooped too many times in a day. I am enjoying it. thanks.

Of course nobody is old to do those games. Somehow these games are what keep our brains sharper.

True, that's why I never hesitated to buy a Nintendo Switch and I play with it almost everyday but not too many hours though.

Not everyone. Thehorse, is one example who doesn't. So not everyone likes to play Nintendo games.

I'm afraid Nintendo completely passed me by, I've never played it.

Game and Watch was the very first Nintendo gadget I ever played back in the early 80s. It has evolved over the years.

I don't like to play online games. That's why I got myself the switch. You have an option to play it online with other players but I don't and I don't intend to. I play it offline.

@JustBhem Nintendo games. Super Mario is an original Nintendo game. So there's a lot of games you can buy like Mario Kart, Mario Odyseey, Pokemon, Splatoon 2, Sonic, and most of the PS4 games are also available for the Switch like Crash Bandicoot, NBA2K19, Fortnite, etc. You can buy the games online but it's much better to buy the cartridge so it doesn't consume the memory of your console.

You’re only as young as you feel. Go for it. I was addicted to Nintendo once upon a time.

I have always been a fan of Nintendo's portable systems and I own a Nintendo Switch as well. There is nothing wrong with enjoying games. I remember reading about a grandmother not too long ago that played Animal Crossing on her 3DS almost every day.
