Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I guess I could say I'm interested in Stadia from a technological perspective, but not a gaming perspective. I wanna know how well everything ticks for everyone and how it works. OTOH, besides the obvious infrastructure problems, I also have the common concerns of lag for the majority of the population (more important in some games than others), always needing to be near an internet access point, a lack of game ownership, games being pulled without warning, and the services eventually shutting down.

If it becomes A viable option, I could live with it. Clearly some people do want it. But the day it becomes THE option is the day I become a retro-only gamer. Waves Cranky Kong cane

@bimmy-lee Long story short, the whole incident was brief and resulted from a lapse of spatial awareness. My brain being stuck in a different train of thought miles from my physical self is insanely common. Thankfully the side effect of self-injury is much less so. XD

@Anti-Matter there not 18+ games. Not for a kid anyway because a kid would not bother to play games like this except maybe tomb raider. They'ed fined games like this boring and mortal combat is only a martial arts game like a ninja. Sorry anyway ,won't say it again

Nintendo life has over 800,000 followers where are they.

@Ninfan 789,321 of them are in Newcastle. 9,002 of them are in @AlexOlney's basement tired to a chair and the rest are spread around the world.

@Heavyarms55 in which Newcastle

@Ninfan Yes.

Was just watching the anime not tooooo long ago!

I’d watch that. Rose would have the ultimate superpower of them. Watch out for that sock puppet of destruction, though.

Oh, and just for good measure... Duke Nukem. That is all.

Hi guys,

I need your help picking a new game! I never thought I'd get close to clearing my backlog, but seems like I did it!

The games that I finished and absolutely loved this summer were:

Hardwest
Dragons Dogma
Golf story
Red Faction Guerilla warfare
Moonlighter
Darksiders
Gris

If you have any suggestions they're more than welcome! Personally I think a pixel RPG or Sniper Elite would suit me best next, but I havent decided yet. All suggestions are welcome!

Thanks

@Heavyarms55 Completely, 100% agreed on your Stadia sentiments.

@Tyranexx @bimmy-lee

@Cissero I'd say try the actual Switch thread where you'll be more likely to receive an actual answer.

On a side note: I'd go for Sniper Elite, if that already interests you, and apparently you also like RPG's, so why not give that wonderful new Dragon Quest game a go? You can even try the free demo first, to see if you might like it or not. The demo contains a massive 10 hours of gameplay, and any progress you make in it, can be imported into the full game, if you decide to get it.

@Tyranexx - We’ve all been there, plotting our 12th step when suddenly we bungle the fourth step and the house of cards come down. Better luck doorwaying next time. I have nothing but confidence in your ability to rebound from this.

@ThanosReXXX- It’s her third (third!) attempt at doorwaying that just slays me. She’s so confident that she’s learned from her previous two mistakes and has successfully located a real exit, that she actually leads with her head! That’s an absurd maneuver when you’ve just face planted twice into glass panes. I would have had my arms straight out in front of me at that point, just shuffling and feeling around for any sort of clue like Velma after she lost her glasses.

@Heavyarms55 - I don’t want streaming, but at some point, it’s probably what we’re going to get. It may not be possible with the internet as we currently know it, but like anything; the internet is an idea away from existing in a way beyond our current understanding.

Meanwhile....
Six Pack Link BOTW (Still in progress)

@bimmy-lee Originally, there was a bit of text with the video, and that quite correctly pointed out that in most cases, shoes are an indicator of an exit or doorway (well, in a sports hall anyway), so when she saw the shoes on the floor, she probably expected that to finally be the right one...
(edit: which might also explain the rather confident head-first move)

@ThanosReXXX thanks! That's a great idea

Oh no. This is bad. Bad bad bad bad bad bad.

It would seem my country is starting to go full stupid, and now PayPal will work only as a money transferring service. So no more saving in dollars, no more online wallet, no more paying with dollars online.

Starting late september, flush, out goes all the money directly to a bank account.

This is honestly scary, if the goverment apparently wants more direct control over money. I'll have to discreetly empty my account.

@ThanosReXXX Thanks for the gif repost. I missed it the first time around. I would've had my arms out after attempt one or two.

@bimmy-lee Thanks! Luckily it was a glancing blow, but it was enough to smart for the next hour or so.

I can't imagine what doorwaying must be like for really tall people. I'm about 5'8" so don't usually have to worry about ducking in most situations.

@Tyranexx
I'm 180 cm / 6' 0" tall.
Ouch...!
I can bump into that glass wall. 🤕😆

@ThanosReXXX - I considered the shoes, but if you look, there are two pieces of paper taped to the third pane at face level, a dead giveaway that this is indeed another pane of glass. She doesn’t see them of course, because she’s holding her face, concussed, scared, and desperate to escape her living nightmare. I kinda feel like I should send her a card at this point.

@Tyranexx - Glad it was just glancing. I have a friend who’s 6’11”, which is “people stop and stare” height. The guy has hit his head on everything since his early teens. He actually looks taller, and most people guess he’s over seven feet tall. My theory is that anything over 6’7” or so starts to become freakishly tall, and people just assume you’re nine feet tall.

@Tyranexx Yeah, I think most of use would, or so we'd like to think...
Maybe she had a lot on her mind, which impeded her judgment in the moment.

@Anti-Matter Height has nothing to do with it, seeing as the glass plates were simply a wall, so ducking wouldn't have made any difference. And you're not really that tall. I'm almost one head taller than you.
