Thanks to Mega-Stashes, I am so close to finally completing these 👀

Sails that are not part of an Emporium set (and currently available to buy):

- Silver Skull Sails (S1 Pass)
- Golden Skull Sails
- Thunderous Fury Sails (+ Collector's; Twitch Drop 2 weeks ago)
- Black Phoenix Sails (Freebie in some Deluxe Editions)
- Legend of Monkey Island Sails
Many unsorted Pirate Emporium sails can be found in the "Shipwright Specials", a "bundle" currently found on page 62 under "Ships". Screenshot from Sea of Thieves

Buyer's guide:
- Sails without "Collector": Mostly part of a set, consider future sales that could be even cheaper if you want more parts.
- "Collector's Sails" are sold seperately (mostly)
- "** Lightbearer Collector's Sails" ARE part of sets (4 items)
- Some non-collector sails are stand-alone
A screenshot from the Sea of Thieves Pirate Emporium showing the "Wise Lightbearer" ship bundle from the Destiny 2 collaboration. The upper 4 items are highlighted, showing how these are added in the "Wise" bundle, while the other items are part of any other Lightbearer Bundle. The bundle costs 1000 coins more than the basic Lightbearer Bundle, so even with the sail offer, it would still be 1000 coins cheaper to get the bundle instead of the individual items.

The Black Friday Sale is Live in #SeaOfThieves, and it's all about Sails!

- Golden Skull Sails return for a limited time
- Almost ALL Sails get a discount
- This is NOT shown in it's own sales tab. Go Browse All > Ships > Sails to see them all. Even the web-site-page doesn't show them all.

So strong it's funny

Emerald Negotiator + Spin Groove (with Spin Jump Skill) were key

I already built the bridge before I realised there was wood under the mud, which would allow a seed bridge to be built 🙈

I got "all" #Spongebob collab rewards, but failed to get the "Resident of Bikini Bottom" streak reward on time :(

I didn't have much time this weekend and when I had a win, the next match I had players to place anything higher but 9th...

#DragonBallFighterZ is the latest entry in the #NintendoGameTrials series

You get 100 Platinum Points for playing and it's currently cheaper. HOWEVER I recommend you to get the game for any other service. For whatever reason the DLC-prices are rarely reduced for Nintendo, and there are a lot.

Me checking my 10+ year old #Nintendo History.

#3DS #PokemonShuffle #Meme
Screenshot from Nintendo Store statistics, containing games from the Nintendo 3DS, Wii U and Switch era. Only 8 games were played for 100 hours or longer, containing various Pokémon Games, StreePass Lobby, Splatoon 3 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. A 9th game, throning above them all with more than 1000 hours is Pokémon Shuffle. A meme depicting two shadowy silhouetts shrouded in red fog. A submissive silhouette reaches a sword to offer as a tribute to the bigger silhouette. The sword has "Switch Games with 100s of hours" written on it. The larger silhouette has "Pokémon Shuffle" written across it's chest.

I grinded from Layer 200 up to 1000000 Emeralds in a week, and all I got is this monke statue

A statue depicting Donkey Kong in Kong Bananza mode in front of DK Island. Next to the statue stands Donkey Kong, holding a rock, looking grumpy to match the statues angriness.

#Lifetimes was a blast. Had lots of strangers cheer me on to get picked to be on stage (I was the husband from "Tucked"). Senpai noticed me, but she answered "I keep *you* tucked away inside my head" 💔

It's all good though. (1/2)

Not sure why I didn't get a "Obtained all collab rewards!" message this time, but I got the usual set of rewards (which is those that aren't tied to ranking).
