@Anti-Matter - What’s bothering you about it Anti? It’s not like they’re really doing anything inappropriate other than maybe not following proper forum etiquette, which isn’t actually that real of a thing anyway. Just ignore it, or have a laugh like everyone else and move along. Stop posting in that forum if it bothers you.
@bimmy-lee I do seem to have made a mistake when converting that picture, because it was supposed to have a transparent background. Black on black usually doesn't work that well...
But I guess it was adequate enough for you to see, regardless of that. And agreed on the price/breakdown ratio. You'd imagine they'd last for years on end, but much like basically pretty much any other consumer product nowadays, almost nothing is built to last anymore.
On a side-note: I definitely do agree with Anti. That guy is annoying as f***, so I don't think it's funny, nor do I have any inclination to troll that specific thread. Every time someone tells him off, he just slightly changes the narrative, and rambles on. It makes no sense whatsoever, and I don't see the point of it.
Right now, he's talking about a one-box-plays-all system, which has NOTHING whatsoever to do with mini consoles, so even he as the OP, isn't even on topic anymore.
@NintendoByNature No, we're not wrong. It's absolutely, one-hundred percent a fake poser. I've been keeping tabs on it, and it wasn't just the obscure NES game, it was also a post about repairing a dead/broken 3DS, in which "she" mentioned all kinds of things that she tried. Much like the obscure NES game, it mentioned stuff that no real kid of that age would be able to know, much less do. (edit: unless they're a child prodigy)
There was also a far too snappy reply to one comment somebody made, which was completely out of character, so my money is definitely on fake poser, not an innocent little girl asking weird, out of character questions and being far too adult for her age...
@ThanosReXXX nice catch I didn't see the other post. I guess....why would someone WANT to pose as another person. Like what's the point or gain in the matter? I get that this is the internet and people do odd things, But, of all the things to Do, I don't get the point of coming to NL doing that and just spamming new thread after new thread asking the same types of questions.
I mean, if they want to be sad human beings, I have no rush to ban them for that.
As long as they’re not doing shady stuff, or pretending to be someone else in particular with ill intentions.
But in this case, even if it’s a 40 year old dude in a basement, they’re not really doing anything that gives me “ban them immediately” vibes... Let’s just keep an eye on them just in case.
@NintendoByNature Some people are weird, and just like to do stuff like that for "fun", to troll people, mainly because they can do it in the safe environment of online anonymity. Or, as sometimes unfortunately happens on other kinds of sites, to lure (young) people, so it could even have been a far creepier person with even more despicable motives.
I don't really think that's the case here, but it could easily be a troll. If you look at that 3DS thread, and the recently created Fortnite thread, the way that comments are written, also seems to vary, so staying in character does seem to be a problem for this person, which is actually why I noticed in the first place.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
Well then nobody tell them this site is actually not frequented by children. And that the people likely to add her back would probably be the like her.
@ThanosReXXX - I see, and I understand how that could be annoying to folks who want to talk about the topic at hand. I guess I cut more slack when it seems like innocent rambling as I’m always a distracting remark away from veering way off topic myself. I get more annoyed by the Cobalt types who use tactics like plausible deniability and “innocent” questions in an attempt to derail a conversation into some kind of dramatic, very loosely related debate because they’re bored and lack real lives.
I liked the black on black in your picture, but maybe it’s because it reminded me of my black heart.
Bought a birthday gift for my niece who'll turn 4 next month. She's already into video games because of how much my family plays games and she wants to play on my 3DS every time I see her. I've let her choose her game and at first she was mainly playing Pokémon games (Shuffle, Rumble, etc.) but then she discovered Animal Crossing last year and that's all she wants to play now. It's fun to watch her play the game. I've let her discover things on her own and it's always fun when she finds something new to do. I was wondering what I could get her for her birthday and then I thought of Animal Crossing. I thought I'd buy a jigsaw puzzle at first but unfortunately the ones I found had over 500 pieces. But then I came across something else. A sticker book, with over 800 stickers. It seems to include pretty much everything you can imagine. Villagers, insects, fishes, furniture... I think she'll like it. I'm also really excited for New Horizons since it has local multiplayer. I haven't played any multiplayer games with my niece yet.
I can't speak about the one user since I haven't been following that particular thread, but I've also begun harboring my own suspicions on the account that may or may not be a young girl. It seemed perfectly legit at first - and maybe I'm off base, and the user is genuine - but the NES thread that I briefly looked into also set off my "Something's up" meter.
Troll or no, if someone genuinely needs help, I'm not against helping them. As long as they aren't doing anything freaky or illegal. Though now I sorta regret proofreading that explanation of SD cards as much as I did.
@ThanosReXXX I've intended to set up a PayPal account for "just in case" measures, and this may, depending on the route I decide on, push me to do so. I know a lot of people use the service, but I've just never bothered. My reasoning used to be because I had enough accounts to manage already, but more and more retail sites require accounts now. What's one more account out there? XD
@HobbitGamer If the dialogue is the awesomely nonsensical blabbering found in games like Okami, I'm in!

@NintendoByNature I made a mistake: it actually wasn't the 3DS thread. It was another forum topic from somebody else, in which "she" joined the conversation.
And if you look at the discussions and posts in the attached profile, you can see plenty of odd comments.
@Morpheel Now THAT would be the ultimate form of cosmic justice, now wouldn't it? Child predators unknowingly hooking up with their own kind. I would LOVE to see their faces, if they end up making an appointment at some meeting point somewhere, and find out they're not gonna get what they were looking for...
@bimmy-lee Well, to be honest, I didn't want to talk about mini-consoles in the first place, but that specidic user caught my eye, because initially, he was making similar looking forum posts left and right, they're all horribly written, and they're all delusional. One mentioned an N64 Mini with all of Rare's games on it, which is more than likely never going to happen, even though Nintendo and Microsoft have been relatively friendly to each other of late. And in another mini console post, he mentioned a GameCube mini, in which he said that it should have a list of 30 games, and of course, again, that's never gonna happen.
I like dreaming and fantasizing as much as the next guy, but this all seems so pointless and clueless. If I would even want to join in such a discussion, then I would at least want to see people adding games that would actually have a reasonable chance of appearing on such a system, and also an amount of games that would seem feasible or likely.
Heck, I would also like to see an N64 Mini released with the entire catalog on it, but both you and me know that this is never going to happen, so personally, I see no use in discussing that. But maybe that's just the angry old man inside of me, turning more and more into a Dutch-Californian version of @rjejr...
And you, a black heart? Nah, you're too much of a big, cuddly wrestling bear...

@Tyranexx I use PayPal for pretty much any overseas transaction, and I've also tied my Nintendo account to it, for all those easy as pie in-game transactions and digital purchases.
@ThanosReXXX That actually might be the approach I take as well when I Switch over. I solely use prepaid eShop cards for all transactions as I don't want any card or account info tied to my Nintendo account.

@ThanosReXXX - Aw, thanks friend. You don’t seem grumpy to me. I think it just takes many years for us to fully understand we’re just marks at a carnival. Once you learn the truth, it’s hard to find your youth again. It makes the carnival less fun. Funny you put bear and beer in the same sentence as there’s an ancient legend about how humans came to understand alcohol fermentation by watching bears drink from puddles under bee hives which had fermented due to the honey dripping into the water and combining with wild yeast.
I had it on my wishlist for a long time since apparently it being marginally related to Apple means it must be expensive. However last week I it went down considerably for a few hours, so even though it feels dumb to buy a gaming controller for an ipad, I went for it.
I'm really liking it so far, it feels very well made, and many of my games support it. Just wish it was a bit more... Travel friendly... It's basically the same size as an xbox one controller.
Gonna go ahead a pull mini thread maneuver here and double post. A friend recently showed me an app called seek, which can identify all manner of flora and fauna using the camera on your phone. I’ve been messing around with it, and it’s actually a lot of fun if you’re into that sort of thing. It works best with location services on, and you have to give it access to your camera, but if you can cope with that, it’s really cool.
