Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@ThanosReXXX Oh, and bobcats. And Brown Recluse. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s mirelurks somewhere.

@StableInvadeel Back then it actually had cocaine in it. It certainly was medicine back in those days....

@Tyranexx Yeah our weather here seems to have become an extension of the midwest really. Which as awful because I hate midwest weather. Here we get the nasty nasty culture, nosebleed high prices, and now harsh, volatile weather! @Heavyarms55 how would your Japanese coworkers fare when all the phones go off with tornado warnings, seek shelter immediately, blah blah blah (where I just ignore and keep grilling yet again...)? If you would actually pay attention to the warnings you'd spend 5 months of the year in a bunker and business would never even function, everyone would be scrambling all the time.

@HobbitGamer Swamps I can deal with. Gators, not so much. We get the wasps here too so no biggs. I was really sold with no snow, no tornado season. We didn't USED to have a tornado season but now we do. AND we get the hurricanes anyway, but not as often. I can't put into words how much I absolutely and utterly disdain snow. As far as I'm concerned from November through mid-March I'm basically dead, but twice as miserable. Life begins March 20th. Ends Nov 1. It's just an enduring misery without end to the suffering for month after month. The rest is a survival experience you suffer through year after year after year .

Not a fan of more frequent hurricanes....but hurricane vs. blizzard...is it even that much different? The rest, I'm sold.

Last evening i saw a very funny billboard near of Surabaya Zoo.
But i guess nobody noticed if i have posted it on page 1734.

do not worry the storm was not bad in FL everyone paniced for rain and a windy day it was not TS force our daily thunderstorms are worse than this

I was supposed to go fishing today, but (my) rain (dance) caused that trip to not happen, which means I can rev up the Nintendo Direct after all, what are the odds.

Also, I was supposed to get my wisdom tooth removed and get sedated in the process a month ago, but that just never happened.

@andrew20 Well the storm is closer to the Georgia coast than it was in Florida now. I think the most dangerous issue in Georgia will be Savannah. River street is only 2 feet above water, and high tide ended 4 hours ago. Flooding will be the concern there.

Glad you’re good!

I'll be watching the Direct live but won't be able to react in topics/articles until later this evening. Gotta head out right after it finishes up.

Hoping for some surprises!

@Andrew_R_2000 Sounds like straight-line winds. They can also be devastating. I do know of a case where the National Weather Service's ruling of winds, not a tornado could be disputed. They didn't explain how a trampoline ended up in one direction while a lot of other things were blown in the other direction.

I've never seen one in person, but they are...I wouldn't say common, maybe infrequent. Not as bad as some of the States on the Great Plains at least.

@NEStalgia The nosebleed-high prices might come from my particular state in the US. Many things are taxed more here compared to others.

@HobbitGamer And while we're at it: Bigfoot, banshees and direwolfs...

Sans

In smash

@NEStalgia lol In Japan they basically never have tornadoes, so if it happened, it would probably be chaos.

But Earthquake warnings like that are a thing and it usually causes panic too.

Nintendo blew it out of the park with that Direct! I was LITERALLY jumping up and down in my seat! I am surprised the neighbors didn't complain about the noise! Pokemon, Overwatch, Animal Crossing, Star Wars, Luigi, Xenoblade, Dragon Quest, SNES games! Holy crap what an amazing Direct! Blew it out of the park! Slam Dunk! Nintendo Wins everything! I don't even care anymore! Switch BANZAI!

I have to quit my job to have enough time to play all these games but I need my job to pay for all these games! #firstworldintheextreme

I didn't feel overhyped with the Direct like last year when FF XII, FF X, Animal Crossing for Switch has been announced for Switch. 😑
I skipped the Direct oftenly by pressing B button from my Switch then press A button to play again. (I watched the Direct from my Switch)
Oh, well...
The games i like most probably will be announced outside the Direct.

@RedderRugfish never played any nes games online so I have no clue how it actually works. So can you play super Mario kart with a freind then? Like join a race or battle if i start one?

The Direct, on the whole, was merely decent for me until the Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition reveal at the end. I'm surprised my few coworkers that were remaining didn't hear my mental screaming. (Watched it after hours at work; had to be somewhere shortly after it ended.) I'm sooo glad I don't have to worry about tracking down an overpriced physical copy for the Wii or 3DS now. I nearly caved for the digital Wii U eShop variant a couple of times, too.

This is a paradox that I constantly deal with.

As for my Direct moment, I was screaming "YES!" like crazy when Tokyo Mirage Sessions was announced. I got the Wii U original last year for Christmas, along with Pokemon Let's Go and Crash Bandicoot on Switch. Got teary eyed from being so happy too.

Makes me happy to see this game get a second chance on Switch so others can play it. I'm even considering picking it up, even though I have it for Wii U.

I'm hoping they throw in a Fire Emblem 3 Houses bonus of some sort into this Switch port of Tokyo Mirage Sessions.

@Heavyarms55 maybe the new playable characters could have mirages from newer games.

@RedderRugfish sweet maybe we should give it a shot tomorrow night

@StableInvadeel I'd be all over that.

I'm kinda shocked that people don't seem as excited about the Direct as I am. I've been thinking about it practically all day at work today. Makes it hard to focus on work! There was so much I liked in it! I feel like the Switch has reached critical mass! With all the games already on it and so many more coming that look so good! Switch has really become my favorite console of all time!

@Heavyarms55
Different peoples different expectation.
I was disappointed by whole Direct this morning.
I thought The Sims 4 & DDR had a chance to be announced for Switch. 😐
Not many interesting upcoming games for me from the Direct. 😑
Shooter games & rated M games still disturbing me during Direct (i quit watching the Direct for a while when i saw those games and continue watching after i thought it already safe to watch again). 😒

Smash Bros segment was Blah... Not interesting at all for me. Little Town People was kinda not really convincing after i watched the trailer. Xenoblade was not interesting too. 🙄

Only Pokemon Sword / Shield & Animal Crossing New Horizons were captivating me during Direct. 😀
