Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Ryu_Niiyama - Okay fine, I made a foil hat. I’m in that army now. They can take our lives, but they’ll never censor our video gaaaaaaaaaaamesss!

@HobbitGamer - Sorry to disappoint! That mention of FOS was in regard to a different type of apocalypse, not the nuclear kind.

@Tyranexx - My only hope in life right now is that this goose fear/obsession lasts long enough to make it to Goose Game launch. I’m doing my best to keep it alive. I was getting it anyway, but this development makes it a must own. It’ll be a fear simulator in my house.

Classic horror character you get to play them. I saw a great version of that at a haunted house one time. Straight jacket, padded room, strobe light, blood spatter. It was great. Like getting a glimpse of my future. Very haunting. What a fun side job. There’s something just terrifying about knowing someone is going to scare the crap out of you in the very near future, but you have no idea when it’s coming.

@Wavey84 I haven't ever taken a break from gaming altogether as it's my main hobby since earliest childhood and probably the only passion I have in life (started gaming when I was two years old), but I did take an involuntary break from Nintendo gaming where I missed out on everything which came out between Nintendo 64/GBC and late Wii U/mid 3DS era. I still replayed old Nintendo and PC games, especially N64 in multiplayer, but basically fell out of touch otherwise. Never been into modern PC gaming and have zero interest in PS and Xbox. Now that I'm an Adult™ and got my own money I'm trying hard to catch up but GC and DS games in particular are a pain to get, especially if you don't do digital.

As for consoles GC never managed to catch on for me at all - neither its games save for Paper Mario TTYD nor the controllers - whereas I adore my Wii U which holds several of my franchise favourites.

My backlog is huge. I've been working on it this year and am making good progress, but... it's huge.

Not heard of any progress with making wormholes actually viable ways to travel, @Heavyarms55 Let alone making them ourselves ..... It's possible there will be, just seems unlikely Now

@HobbitGamer Yeah, I suppose it was funny, to other readers at least. I can probably laugh about it now to some extent, but when I was right in the middle of it, I was rather confused, and walking on egg shells trying to explain myself, so that wasn't funny at all. Even made me stay away for the rest of the day. And then yesterday, he tagged me in another thread to once again tell people all about how bad I treated him.

It makes for a really sad, pathetic person, if you can't even see and admit/own up to your own mistakes and instead lash out at others and in the process ruining their rather positive mood...

@bimmy-lee I don't know why I'm so mean. Must be my inner-Thanos...

@Tyranexx My good name was being slandered by some idiot who himself posted a Switch related comment in the wrong article thread, and then across several comments blamed me for bothering and accusing him of lying. And thanks to @HobbitGamer, I've now come to understand that instead of at least showing some decency towards me, he simply chose to silently edit his comments and pretend it never happened, which makes it extra sad, because that shows he KNOWS he was wrong, but he's not a big enough person to own up to it.

You can probably imagine me being completely confused/befuddled, when he simply stated: "but you can't play it on TV you guys", underneath the Evercade article, which had a video that clearly showed that you actually could display it on the TV, so I simply asked him: "no offense, but how did you get that idea?" and from there on out, the rather mystifying discussion continued, right up to the point that he blamed me for calling him a liar...

I swear, sometimes, I really feel like doing a @bimmy-lee and just take a REALLY long leave from the internet. Not being able to physically correct or overpower people when I'm in my full right to do so, is really doing my head in at times. Once you're in a discussion online, and things turn negative, for whatever reason, it seems that even the slightest modicum of decency and manners goes out the window...

@Tyranexx Well, I checked the thread to see what exactly was edited out, but it was all still there, so if you want to walk a small mile in my boots of confusion, then here you are, ma'am:

EDIT:
And then he tagged me again in this thread:
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/09/guide_which_switch_...

P.S.

I see now what he edited out, @HobbitGamer. I thought you meant in the Evercade thread.
Very cowardly, but I guess that's what you can expect at least half of the time, when dealing with such individuals, sadly enough.

@ThanosReXXX - Oh man, you didn’t do a thing wrong other than unknowingly engage with a “don’t make eye contact” person. I don’t think anybody took them seriously when saying you’re mean. It’s like someone yelling at the air in a subway/train station. I noticed them back when the SwitchLite was revealed, and they’ve been in a downward spiral ever since because... it doesn’t plug into the tv. Yeah.

Taking a break from the social side of the Internet was really nice, but it was one item on a list I tallied of things in my life that we’re bringing me frustration. I felt generally frustrated, and wanted to reduce that feeling. Two of the biggest reliefs turned out to be retiring from fantasy football and wagering after 15 straight seasons in the trenches. Neither were fun anymore, but I was still doing it out of habit. I’ve enjoyed NFL Sundays so much more, and I have more free time during the week not being forced to research and listen to podcasts. I totally understand your frustration with the differences between online and real life social interactions.

The best part is that I actually deleted his first “dumb Thanos man” comment before anyone else had even posted in that article.

But someone who saw it before I deleted it brought it back up! :]

@bimmy-lee Well, I'm over most of the befuddlement and frustration now, but a tiny bit of anger and disappointment at it all remains, and probably will for some time to come...

@StableInvadeel Ah, so he didn't even "correct" that himself. Now I'm even more sad. Not looking for an apology or anything, but even the tiniest bit of an acknowledgment about him being wrong, coming from his direction would have been nice...

I'd recommend you to just forget about it. Be the smart one and move on, it's not worth spending brain-resources on it.

I myself am mostly just amused at how a single senseless comment managed to derail an entire comments section after I removed it, while it was the only comment there.

@StableInvadeel Oh, no worries there, I will move on, and I also won't be expecting any gesture whatsoever, but the sentiment will remain with me for a lot longer. One of the biggest downsides of being highly empathic. Most people will probably think that being that is all about feeling more with and for people and their emotions, but it actually enhances every emotion, so sadness is also sadness², and the same goes for impact of things/happenings on memory, so I may only be a virtual Mad Titan, but my real world memory is almost just as long...

@ThanosReXXX - I know it’ll stick with you for a bit, but I hope it’s a minimal amount of time. If you scan the comments of any SwitchLite article, or really any article about anything that could possibly be confused for a SwitchLite; you’ll probably see something similar. I think this person is entering Slig/Amiibo level irrational hatred for the SwitchLite. They just don’t have the streak yet of telling everyone about it every day for years. Give em time.

@bimmy-lee Well, I'd love for it to disappear quickly, but the answer to your hope is right above your comment...

On a side note: I'm not really a fan of the Switch Lite, or as I like to call it: the Switch-less, so I usually skip articles about it, making me miss most of that toxicity anyways.

Can't to get mine personally.

Even bought one of those switch stands for tabletop mode, to display it when not in use.

Now I just need to decide where to put it. Probably on top of the Xbox one.

@StableInvadeel I think that the only thing that I actually like about it, is the various colors. Otherwise, the lack of features compared to the original and improved version that just came out, is way too significant for me.

But I guess it's a nice addition to the Switch family for handheld-only fans, so I don't begrudge anyone for liking it, even if I myself absolutely don't.

I would normally not be so eager to preorder something like it, but well, my brother convinced me to place our preorders at the same time. I'll also travel next month, so it'll be perfect to take with me on that.

I got the turquoise one. It looks really nice on the pictures, so hopefully it's just as pretty in real life.

If all games supported cloud saves, and a Switch/Switch Lite combo managed to sync saves seamlessly, and it were more comfortable than a Switch, I would be more interested. The comfort is especially a thing for me. I played some DxM handheld awhile ago and got hand cramps after 15 minutes 😑

I can almost guarantee I’ll end up with one or two for the kiddos if Nintendo stretches this generation out, which they seem inclined to do. I play docked most of the time, so I’m good, but it’s a nice option for their first foray if they’re interested (they seem to be, and they love Labo), and they’re still relevant when they’re ready. I definitely like the variety in color.

I do like the colors. That’s the only thing keeping it on my radar

@HobbitGamer I considered that, but I'm fine transferring the save files manually for the few games that don't have cloud. And it's not like I plan to juggle between systems all that often, so it's ok.

@bimmy-lee I feel ya on the fantasy football becoming a chore. I partake still though. Makes it fun since alot of my buddies are in the league.

Side note: I declined the offer folks. I countered, they countered back which was lower than I was willing to take. With that said and the fact that im still happy where i am, I respectfully declined. So unfortunately no Indiana trips bimmy..maybe one day I'll see that face tat.....one day
