Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@NEStalgia Thank you so much. You are correct! I just turned it on and there you go...light stays on. What's up with that logic? Anyway, I bought it tonight, everything works fine. I am so glad I finally got one. I slapped on a screen protector, a 128gb sd card, and downloaded a couple of games. I think this is a really cool system....thanks again for all your help. I was worried I had a defective unit...now I can go to bed...! I was looking online to no avail, so I'm glad you responded.

@Joe-b haha, glad to be of help! Welcome to the club (sleep? You have more self restraint than most of us )

Oooh someone gave my mom a bag of chimangos, basically one of the few foods specific to my state.

It's basically like a triangular or rhomboid donut, not super sweet, without toppings or fillings, but still really good.

I'm not sure if they're completely original to my state (most likely not!), but it's basically the only place where I've seen them. So it's nice to think about them as a regional recipe (we don't have many!).

What's a chimanga

Don't know about letters and all. But I did have chimichangas the other day. Missing letters or not it was delicious

If I remember correctly, that's the fried burrito, right?

I haven't really tried one.

Oh and we are just starting. Have you ever had a torta de tamal? It’s a big old sandwich with a tamal inside.

Speaking about Tamales...
If you reverse the word of Tamales it will turn into Selamat. 😏
Selamat is one of Indonesian word which means safe. But, the word of Selamat also used for greeting such as Selamat pagi (Good morning), Selamat siang (Good afternoon), Selamat tinggal (Good bye), Selamat makan (Bon appetit).
Also used for celebration such as Selamat ! (Congratulations!), Selamat ulang tahun (Happy Birthday), Selamat bermain (Happy playing), etc.

See, tamales are good for you and everyone.

@NEStalgia yah, got up at 5am....Switch time! Haha!

@ThanosReXXX Well you've got a good 17 years on me! But I'm still older than I've ever been (hooray for truisms!). And thanks for the warm welcome! I appreciate the reassurances that everyone here is cool and on the level. I'll try to keep that in mind.

It's cool that you're also into mindfulness! Got any favorite authors or speakers? Thich Nhat Hanh and Eckhart Tolle really speak to me, personally.

@anti-matter I tried the water trick, and didn't work. Normally it does though. thankfully they just went away 😊. Sorry for the late reply.

@Morpheel yea the chimichangas are the fried burritos but typically smaller. Never had a tamale in a torta but I usually get tortas when I go to Mexican restaurants. Chorizo or al pastor. Some times milanesa. Lately I've been fine with some tacos with only cilantro and onion ( little lime too).

In Chicago we have of course, hot dog stands that get pretty creative. For instance, a tamale boat. A bowl of chili with all the fixins and tamales in the bowl. Or a super tamale which is a tamale in a hot dog bun with traditional hot dog toppings on it.

Great now im hungry.

So... let's see... what did I miss? Scary hiccup adventures, new Switch owners, Mexican food, people butchering the spelling of chimichangas, and lessons in a language that none of us will ever need to speak.

Alrighty then, we're up to speed again...

@NEStalgia My day looks too familiar to you in what way? Do you often sleep away your own free days as well? Or do you often get called out of bed by numbskulls?

And the thing was, that I was SO looking forward to my extra long weekend, and now, it's basically already ruined, because the beginning of it was f-ed up, basically turning it into just another regular weekend...

@BougieBeetle I've read Eckhart Tolle's books, and had The Power of Now and it's companion book for practical use, and now that's just more or less integrated into my daily life and work.

But in this specific case, I actually just meant mindfulness as in being aware of other people on here and not trying to go on some wild tangent to try and extrapolate strange meanings out of their comments, which were never intended as such, which is what creates most of these useless discussions in the first place.

But yeah, Nintendo Life has a pretty decent community, and most, if not all of the good guys and gals hang around here in the Chit-Chat thread, so even if comments sections or other threads get too heated for you, there's always a virtual comfy sofa over here to relax in...

@NintendoByNature now that tamal hotdog sounds like something that would sell

And now for something completely different:
How the hell do you change the font size of your comment on here?
I've tried dozens of options, and none work, so it's REALLY starting to annoy me at this point.

On a side note:
Nintendo Life should just have options to manipulate/edit text attached to the window that you type your comment in, like most websites I know do. I do seem to recall them having a smiley toolbar in there in the past, but they removed it for whatever reason.

Something completely different and scary: a tornado missed my town by only 15 miles last night!

@ThanosReXXX I don’t think they want users changing the size of their text, for the same reason they don’t have a clunky toolbar above the text box. Aesthetics.

@Andrew_R_2000 better start building up a shelter in case the next one has better aim.

@Morpheel lol. What's more, there are still heavy storms when I'm typing this up, and it's been about 12 hours since then.

We don’t get tornados around here. Must be interesting. In a “it fascinates me but I’m also very scared of it so I don’t really want to see it” kinda way.

@Morpheel Besides it not really helping me out, that sounds like a real non-reason. We're not changing any aesthetics of the site, only of our own comments. Except having to do it all manually, isn't just cumbersome, it's also highly archaic. Every site that I know and use, has a text editing toolbar. It's a minimal requirement.

And who says it has to be clunky? You can make it as modern and streamlined as you like.
