Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Guys... ! 😀
Reggie did his "Direct" last time !

@Tyranexx Ah, well. My bad for thinking you didn't understand me the first time around. Apologies, ma'am.
And yeah, I like a number of these, shall we say eloquent labels for certain individuals, such as @sshats. Great word, and VERY applicable in some cases. Can't use it over here, which is a shame, because it doesn't translate well, without losing it's power and/or intent, but online, I can luckily stick to my 'Murican roots and use it to my heart's content...

As for the pictures that Anti posted: how about the one that says "costumers only", which is the picture right above the one with the toilet, that you find so funny? That written sign can go straight to www.engrish.com...

@Anti-Matter Well, there you go. Keep going, and you'll get better and better.
Do you also own Mario + Rabbids? It's friendly enough for you to try, if you don't own it yet, especially now that you've already played Federation Force.

Eh?

@AlohaPizzaJack Can't steal the wahmbulance, man. Especially not from a lady...

@NintendoByNature Stake and eggs? Haha, that's funny. Sounds like a vampire hunter's breakfast...

@ThanosReXXX oh yea it was hilarious when we first noticed. I almost wanted to ask, can i have my applewood cooked medium rare, and If possible, extra sharp at the end in case I get into a bit of trouble later tonight 😅

@ThanosReXXX
Eh.....
I still haven't touch my Mario + Rabbids for almost two years due to hype for other Nintendo games. 😅
I'm not ready yet to continue the game , so i have to watch from Youtube again to study the gameplay since it's a Strategy game like Final Fantasy Tactics, can be take a long time to finish one mission.
Don't worry. Whenever i'm ready, you will see i'm talking about Mario + Rabbids quite often here. 😉

So, it has begun:
The first Nintendo E3 "leaks" has appeared...

Here's the link to the all encompassing E3 2019 thread where I posted this supposed leak, so if you're interested or want to comment on it, then please do it there, so we can keep the chit-chat thread free from E3 related news.
I still wanted to give you guys and girls a heads up, so that's why I decided to post this small update here, so you would get the info either way.

(don't know if all of you are following the E3 thread, so that's basically why)

@Anti-Matter It's not that difficult, really. First few levels can be completed in one, flawless try, and in about 10 to 15 minutes each. Only after the first boss level does it get a bit harder to reach perfect scores, or to finish levels in one go, but most of the strategy can be done while playing, since there's always the battle camera, which allows you to view and study the entire playing field.

@NintendoByNature Was the town Bellmont? (Not the proper Castlevania spelling, I know)

Word misuse drives me crazy. There was a marquee here several years ago that spelled cinnamon as "cinamon". THAT was difficult to ignore. XD

@ThanosReXXX Heh, no prob! It's almost a shame that particular word doesn't translate very well in Dutch though.... Sounds like that bus driver awhile back could have used the label.

Yep, "costumers" about kills me too. XD Good ol' vowel misuse....

@Tyranexx Ah, kind of you to remember. (who says you don't have any social skills? )
Even if it is a rather painful memory, but the bus driver most certainly did deserve that label.

My laptop is on its death bed 😢

It detected a hard drive error, and every day it gets slower and slower. It's like watching its mind deteriorating in real time.

@Morpheel The electronic equivalent of Dementia, then? ☹️ I’m somehow still rocking a Toshiba netbook that’s 7 years old. It plays StarCraft I, and Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis. Sort of.

Yeah pretty much. I’m not sure how or this one is, but it’s at least 3 years old. I’m honestly not sure if I should just upgrade or think about getting a replacement hard drive and go through the problem of doing all the work myself.

Do you have a spare external you could clone onto or something and see if just a drive swap would clear it up? I don’t really follow computer stuff since like 2005. I shifted all that energy to vehicle engines. If you need drivers for Win 95, or to write hex or binary, I can still do that 😂

I think I would need to buy a new one. I haven’t really done anything like this either.

Seeing how slow it is to use, I can’t imagine how long would it take to clone the entire contents of the old drive.

Uck. Well I’d imagine they’re a lot cheaper now so I guess there’s that.

I had OVER 9000 sliders on Mother's day!

@Morpheel "Being touristic and all, most restaurants go bother to add English translations to their menus."

I see what you did there.

That go was probably meant to be a do- no wait, yes I like that narrative, it was intentional.

@Morpheel Is that laptop the only Windows machine that you have, or do you also have a desktop PC?
If so, I could probably guide you through what to do, and how to clone your laptop's drive on the desktop PC, which will probably go a lot faster.

The bigger question, or perhaps the only important one, will probably be: is it worth the trouble and the cost?
If the laptop is too old and slow, then you'd seriously have to consider that it might not be.

I have a windows tablet/laptop that I use when I travel.

For now I can use that just fine, though I don’t like using it as my main machine, because I don’t want to overwork it.

After all the more I use it, the more likely I am to get careless around it.

@Morpheel So... instead of a laptop and a desktop, you have two laptops? This is starting to get a bit confusing...
