I watched that I.M. Meen video. It was only six minutes, but years have passed inside me.

What I love about those terrible CD-i style cutscenes from the early nineties is that the characters constantly dance around and flail their arms about, while the camera zooms in and out for no reason. It's like the developers thought "Oh boy, we finally have the technology to put full-motion video in our games! The characters have to be moving as much as possible to show it off!"
Anyway, I've finally completed Breath of the Wild to my satisfaction! I've completed the main quest, gotten all the memories, completed every shrine, completely upgraded every armor set plus the Champion's tunic and Amber earrings, finished all three levels of the Trial of the Sword, and did the new DLC stuff and got the Master Cycle. The only thing that's really left are the rest of the Korok seeds, but I'm not going to bother.
As for what I'm going to play next, there aren't any more big single-player campaign Nintendo games coming out for a long time, not with Pikmin and Metroid so far away. I might finally check out Skyrim since it's on the Switch?

It'll be a pretty rough transition.

I think I'm going to get Skyrim, but I'll probably play Golf Story and finish Crypt of the Necrodancer first. Skyrim seems like such a huge time sink I don't want to jump into it without getting some shorter stuff out of the way first.

I got a used copy of Trauma Center: New Blood for $5 last year. It's the most fun I've had playing a video game in a very, very long time (ESPECIALLY if you're doing co-op).
It helps that the plot is so melodramatic (but in a good way).

I finally obtained an SNES Classic Edition! Woohoo!

I've been playing my SNES Classic Edition non-stop since I got it, and I am extremely impressed and give it my highest recommendation! It has most of what I would consider to be the best games on the system, and the controllers are 100% authentic in build-quality and feel; the only difference from the original is the plug at the end. Up to four suspend points can be saved which is a very nice feature for games that either lack a save system, or have a crappy save system where using the original feature exclusively is very inconvenient. (Looking at you, Secret of Mana.) I only have two complaints; one, while the game selection is very good, they really could've put just a couple more games on this thing... I'd really like to have had Chrono Trigger and Tetris Attack. Two, the controllers do not have a reset button on them that takes you back to the game selection screen. You have to use the button on the console for that. The cords are also a bit short, so unless you are very close to the TV you need to drag the console out onto the floor in order for them to reach. My guess is that the controllers were made using the original SNES molds without any redesign, which is why they don't have an additional button, and so the console was designed with the intention of having it within arm's reach to use the button on the console, hence the short controller cords. Now, I know that adding a new button to the controllers would have been an additional expense on Nintendo's part, which is probably why there isn't one, but I don't see why they couldn't have had you hold down L+R+Start+Select for three seconds to go the menu, or something.
Overall, though, it's a great little device, and it's the easiest and least-expensive way to play these games that is currently available.
ONE IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have any kind of HDMI splitter attached to your TV, do not plug the SNES Classic into it, and plug it directly into the TV instead. If you use a splitter, it might make your device crash or refuse to turn on. I have no idea why this is, but it was happening to me at one point, and I thought my unit was defective until I read another forum post where someone said this was happening to them and they fixed it by not using a splitter.
