Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

This week, I'm taking a driver's permit test.

I don't get this.

Today I just posted something related to a Nintendo topic and I'm told that its a pointless thread and if I do any more of this, I get a temporary ban....but for what? Its Nintendo related and I found it from Kotaku so what's the problem?

@artwark

You're creating nearly three threads a day, which is ridicules. 99% don't need their own thread, hence why I lock the majority of them. So as I said, if you create another pointless thread you'll be issued a temporary ban.

If you want to discuss this further use [email protected]

You're kinda posting 100 threads per day...>_>

@ArabPikachu That reminds me, I need to get back to studying to get my permit

I read "and I found it from Kotaku" and was pretty sure that would've been the reason.

Well I can't sleep until tomorrow night (er like 20ish hours from now) that way I can put my sleep schedule back to normal.

I didn't think it'd get this bad with 8 days off.

Just a question. Is App Trailers legit, and do you absolutely have to sign up using Facebook?

It's an app on the Play Store that lets you earn points for watching movie & mobile app trailers, and you can supposedly exchange said points for gift cards.

It seems like half of the reviews love it, while the other half scream "scam" (and of course, only the most pleased or p***** users will take the time to write a review, usually), so I'm looking for an opinion I can trust.

Trust me, nothing like that is as good as it seems. It's a scam.

It's maybe not a scam, but it's probably going to take you so long to get enough points to get anything decent.

I wouldn't even bother with it. Sounds like a scam.

Anyways, this talk of scams reminded me of something that happened recently: My mother got an email from a charity. They said that they would give her 3 million dollars, and all my mom would have to do is give them her bank account...okay, aside from the fact it's obviously a scam, how would giving some random woman 3 million dollars HELP their charity? Isn't the main goal of a charity to GET money?

Can anyone look and judge at my PC build? I'm planning to build it at 2018...

Pretty good, but 8gb of ram might be a bit too low especially in 2018. And this is personal preference but I despise wireless keyboards and mice and in my experience wired is more responsive.

Agreed on both. And the processor is a bit light for 2018 too. Get a recent i7 instead.

Ok.....look. I've asked this a while and nobody's interested to discuss it further and since this is irritating my mind a LOT, I want to spit it out now. It seems that no one here is able to admit the flaws that Masahiro Sakurai has and yet somehow, most of you guys simply hate the way Shigeru Miyamoto does things today's standards. For crying out loud, Pikmin 3 and the new Star Fox Zero are the only things that he's hugely involved in and for the rest of what's he's been doing as of now, He's just the general producer of the games being worked on and nothing else. That and that he's running Nintendo along with Genyo Takeda. Ruining Sticker Star is such a lie because he only gave a suggestion not an order. And now, insulting him that he's not really that important now is such an insult. But Sakurai-San? He's a genius all of a sudden?

He works as a freelance game designer which is far risky than being a freelance composer. If he were to make a game for Konami or SEGA, he'd be screwed as hell because of how these companies treat workers badly. SEGA may not be as harsh as Konami but their development schedules are terrible that will just force Sakurai-San to risk even more of his health. If atleast being a composer, that makes sense because you're known for your quality of music and companies do understand that a lot.

And I don't get the praise he gets. How is Uprising a well-crafted game? Did Famitsu just gave it a perfect score because of him being the main founder of Famitsu? If I were to give a rating, I'd give it a 25/40 at the very least. Yeah, that score is based on four reviewers and all but I'd rate it like that anyways regardless. Yeah, its quality and this is one of the only impressive games to look at the 3DS. But the control scheme is pretty much telling you to get use to it else you can't enjoy it. Even with customized controls, its pretty much asking you to use the default inorder to go to higher levels.

Well......atleast he made Kirby, I'll give him that.

We get it, you hate uprising. Everyone is entitled to an opinion so stop getting upset when it doesn't match up with yours.

@Darth_Vader: But that doesn't answer how Sakurai-San's philosophy is far better than Miyamoto-San's right?

Also I'm trying to understand the praise he gets when he's not done much compared to Miyamoto-San.

@Artwark: It doesn't matter how much work they have done, what matters is if he has created memorable games. One philosophy is not better than another, they are just different. You have your opinions on certain developers and other people have their opinions. People even have opinions about other people's opinions. There is no right or wrong answer. People like Sakurai for the work he has done and people like Miyamoto for the work he has done. People also dislike them for work they have done. It is just opinions and preferences.

Comparing him to Miyamoto is pointless. Miyamoto has been in the industry longer than Sakurai, so of course he's done more. Sakurai's achievments on their own are enough for him to deserve praise. Also, as far as I can see, you're the only one comparing Miyamoto and Sakurai. No one else. (Of course, I could be wrong about that though.)
