Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@bimmy-lee Well, it certainly wouldn't be unthinkable that nature somehow learns to "cope" with humans.
My dad always says that we're the worst animals on the entire planet, and that it would be better off without us. But, now that I'm already here, I'd rather stay around for a bit longer...

@bimmy-lee haha I was actually pleased with the Easter eggs. Rocky AND back to the future?!?!? Hitting all those nostalgic notes for me in one small game

@ThanosReXXX - We’re the worst by virtue of thinking we’re the best. And maybe a few other reasons.

@NintendoByNature - That’s great. The series is just a big nostalgia fest for me. Not exactly sure how old the kids are supposed to be, but they’re close to or just slightly older than me, so it’s very pleasing. And a Rocky reference... it just doesn’t get much better than that. Assuming I would catch the reference, otherwise I’d feel like a Kentucky fried idiot, Mick.

@bimmy-lee lol. It's hard to say. I think season 3 they're supposed to be 14-15 ish? The Rocky Easter egg was just some little tidbit..nothing crazy. But it's not just out In the open. You have to interact with things in a specific chapter at a location in the game. I got a good chuckle out of both references.

@NintendoByNature - Ah, that makes sense. They’d be a bit older than me then. It is hard to tell their ages, especially since they’re kids. Sometimes my kids look different day to day, as if they somehow age significantly when they sleep. It’s crazy, sometimes they look like they’ve aged months in a matter of a few weeks. I’m sure you’re familiar with this phenomenon.

@bimmy-lee yep especially in pictures I feel like they look older than they are.

Nah we’re not the worst. We bring balance and keep the other species sharp 😂

@ThanosReXXX "My dad always says that we're the worst animals on the entire planet, and that it would be better off without us. But, now that I'm already here, I'd rather stay around for a bit longer... "

We're always happy to help your dad out! Hold still........

Seriously though "worst" animal is kind of hard to define. Even plants are destructive, aggressive, and violent....look at vines and how murderous they are. Some nut trees poison the soil around them to prevent any other trees from growing near them (while some other speices have learned to be immune to the poison, then crowd the nut trees out.)

Remember in the 90's when deforestation was causing the spotted owl to go extinct? (you might not, it was a US specific "crisis".) So they lobbied and petitioned and stopped evil humans from deforesting to save the poor spotted owl from evil humans. Then the spotted owl continued dwindling in number. Turns out human deforesting wasn't the problem at all. Wood owls were multiplying....they're predators...they were eating the spotted owls to extinction. Technically humans should have been hunting and eating wood owls to fix the spotted owl problem.

So I think Earth Life in general is pretty evil and destructive. "Nature" is nasty. It thrives on destruction, human, plant or animal. It's not just that humans suck. It's that this planet sucks.

@Anti-Matter tere's a seller on amazon sells a cartridge with 369 games in one .And another sellers sells a nintendo DS cartridge with 208 games both of these cartridges have a lot of Pokemon games on them .You should keep an eye on them might find a seller that delivers them to you. How are things today or night time of morning there is it.

@Ninfan
"tere's a seller on amazon sells a cartridge with 369 games in one .And another sellers sells a nintendo DS cartridge with 208 games both of these cartridges have a lot of Pokemon games on them"

I play ORIGINAL video games with ORIGINAL cartridge or disc.
That 369 games in 1 cartridge is an ILLEGAL product.
I don't even want pirated games anymore. 😒
Btw, you know nothing about me.

Uh oh , the hammer has been brought!

To be fair, I kinda enjoy these conversations.

Oh snap, shots fired!! Dora is about to bring the knife!

I think human’s problem with the rest of the planet is we (collectively) tend to overestimate our actual impact of things. And we have a bad sense of the passage of time. Couple those things together and you often get things more wrong than right. Save for things like targeted destruction, everything else is pretty resilient. Nature is much more brutal and efficient that humans for sure. That’s why some organizations tickle my funnies.

I feel bad for everyone who jumped the gun on their favorite Anti quote. I’ll just be over here chilling on “You know nothing about me” Island.

@Ninfan - Those multi carts are usually pretty trashy. Most of the games won’t look, play, or sound right. They can even damage your system. Probably best to avoid them unless it’s the only affordable way to play a game you really want to play. Even then, there’s no guarantee it will actually contain the real game you want to play.

@bimmy-lee were on the eve of picnic panic dlc.. did You finish the main story on the messenger?

@NintendoByNature - Man, I blew it. I’ve barely played anything in the last week and a half. I’m right where I was last time we talked about it. Just walked in to the tower of time. Without a doubt, I’m back on it tonight. I bought The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa on sale and played a tiny bit, but that’s nearly all I’ve done recently. Back on the saddle! Enjoy the new adventures!

@bimmy-lee Ooo, that’s a good one too.
I heart your unique self, @Anyi-Matter! 😁

I once had one of those gameboy multicarts from a garage sale. Sooo many duplicate clone games. And now I can’t get “mooltipaas” from Fifth Element out of my head.

@bimmy-lee that's rough, but i feel ya.. I'll be going down to central Illinois over the weekend til Wednesday and im sure my wife won't want me to bring the switch on a family vacation. So I gotta get my gaming in these next few days. Wana finish stranger things and hopefully picnic panic before I depart Sunday. I dont think picnic panic will be all that long but we'll see. Sales always get me too. I almost bought dkc returns 3d at target today. On sale for $15. Thankfully I held off. Wouldve been utter nonsense with all the stuff im already playing

@bimmy-lee Well, I'd sooner say that it all starts with our disconnect with nature/the circle of life. We are natural beings, obviously, but across all the ages that we've been on this Earth, we've become farther and farther removed from what connects us to its ecosystem, and only after all that happened, did we become so involved with ourselves as a species, that we now believe that we are indeed the next best thing since sliced bread...

I fully believe that it is this very disconnect that allows so many people to rather thoughtlessly and effortlessly destroy the Earth, by taking from their direct environment what they need, all for short-term gain, and with short-term planning in mind, never thinking past the farther tomorrow, or their children's children's future.

So, if you ask me, if somebody actually would be able to do a snap with a cosmic glove, it really wouldn't be all that bad...

@NEStalgia No, humans truly are the worst. See my comment above this one. All things that plants and animals do, or don't, is part of a well-balanced ecosystem that makes sense (even if at first or even second glance it doesn't directly make sense to you or me), and works for all creatures and plants involved. Unless of course, we're talking about foreign/introduced species, but that too, is once again the fault of humans.

Mostly stupid Medieval suckers, and even some first class a*holes in the era after that, taking their stupid live stock and plants with them, to subsequently disrupt or even completely wipe out indigenous flora and fauna...

P.S.

I'm one of the caring people, so I should and probably would survive any snap or culling. Only abusers should go.

EDIT:
And obviously, you should NEVER want to anger a Mad Titan's father. He may be old, but he's probably more p'd off at life than I am, so you truly want to stay on his good side. And the man's big like me (6ft 2.5), and he's got hands the size of snow shuffles...
