Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@bimmy-lee that is such a incredible idea. I need to share this with the boss

I've just observed my mini consoles thread other the past few days and that has been my source of entertainment

@1UP_MARIO @bimmy-lee no.

as long as mr mini console stays contained in that thread...

You can't contain him forever!

That's why we need you guys to interact in that thread, to keep the simulation realistic.

If it's for that reason, I will happily contribute. I have nothing against him, I just don't want millions of mini consoles threads

@1UP_MARIO - Feel free to claim it as your own. Who knows, when Nintendo finally discovers that thread, they’ll probably immediately hire everyone involved to produce it. You could be the head of R&D.

@bimmy-lee Thanks . I was gonna credit you but the idea was too great and I got greedy somehow😉.
I’m still waiting if we get the go ahead.

I think people are overthinkig the Nintendo Sphere concept and NO I don't think Nintendo of America will look at the thread, hire all of you and persuade Nintendo of Japan to make it. Still, its fun to make up cool concepts even if they have parts that are silly

@LetsGoSwitch - I’m positive Nintendo will see it and hire all of us. Think BIG!

Happy Hump Day! I REALLY can't wait to head on vacation in about a week....Work has been kinda slow.

By the way, has anyone here ever tried ordering from Amazon Japan? Do you need to set up a new account to order from other countries? Do they take most credit cards?

@NEStalgia No, I generally was already following this site from about late 2016 - think I made my account right around January 2017ish. I found it back when the Switch was just a vague rumor. And trust me, even the worst arguments on this site pale in comparison to most things I saw on social media. The mods here do a good job of shutting down most of the nasty stuff. No one on this site is regularly calling for mass deportation or murder of Xbox players. No one is arguing that Sony fans are devil worshippers. Pretty sure no one is suggesting we need to cull Sega fans for the purity of the gaming population... etc.

@Tyranexx They do take most common international credit cards. I was going to dispute what @RedderRugfish said but then it occurred to me that I have only ever used Amazon Japan to send things from Japan. Since I live in Japan. So maybe that's why I have never run into those fees he is talking about.

@RedderRugfish I see....What about PlayAsia? There are a couple of games I'm wanting to grab before they fade out of print.

@Heavyarms55 Heh, that could be. Thanks for answering the credit card question! I sorta guessed they'd take most big-name cards but didn't know for sure. This will be a first for me.

@Tyranexx You might want to double check with your card company first and make sure they don't have any extravagant fees for international purchases then. Also be aware that if you have never purchased from overseas your company might think it is fraud and lock out your card until you tell them "no hey, this is me, it's fine"

@RedderRugfish ...Seems like I still have some research in terms of options to do then. Thanks!

@Heavyarms55 Good point. More homework to do! XD An offhand search on the card that I do online purchases with seems to indicate that there may be some fees involved, but nothing too extravagant.... 🤔

@Tyranexx I mean, to be fair, these days it isn't very common. Especially with big name cards. But sometimes it still pops up. When I first did study abroad about 7 years ago that was one thing they warned us about. Don't want to buy something and then get slammed with a 100 dollar international transaction fee. Or to buy something and then the next day find your card not working.

@Morpheel Oh, I'll absolutely take your word for them coming home smelling like all kinds of "hospitaly" odors, but still, if they were/are the kinds of doctors that save lives, then they shouldn't have had anything to do with preservatives like formaldehyde, unless it was in their training years, much like my ex-girlfriend.

Oh, and let's forego the whole death smells topic. I don't want any part of it.
Talk to @HobbitGamer, he started it.

On a side note: and what's up with turning everything into secret code for alcohol?

@bimmy-lee What exactly is an abnormal amount of use for gym shoes? I'd normally say you just use them until they either don't fit anymore, or until their worn to their threads.

Oh, and this is one of the few times that I agree with @Anti-Matter: that Mini console thread has got to die, and the idiot who initially just kept on making new mini console threads needs to be banned. He's not only delusional, but also a grammatical nightmare. And besides: wouldn't having fun with that actually constitute trolling? Do not do unto others, and all that kinda stuff...

@NEStalgia Well, yeah. CBD oils are made from cannabis extracts, so even though CBD is legal, it was an obvious link on my part to the other oils also made with cannabis that aren't legal, hence me putting it in quotes.

@Tyranexx I'll just add my two cents on your earlier question to others: PlayAsia is perfectly reliable. I've ordered stuff from them a couple of times before, and it always arrived in perfect condition, and there were never any issues with payment and/or delivery.

@Heavyarms55 you must have missed my solution for CDi lover purification.

Actually, come to think of it, it's time to start a Stadia player pacification program...... Who's with me?
