Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

And of course, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or whatever other feast you're having to all of you.

Celebrate it, have fun, have some great food, have a couple (or a bunch) of good drinks, and enjoy the company of whomever you're with. And here's hoping we can trade great stories afterwards. Perhaps even about the great games we've received (or gifted ourselves)...

@Anti-Matter - Happy regular Tuesday and Wednesday then dude, and Happy Switchaversary. I hope when your next holiday comes up, it’s a good one.

@NintendoByNature - Same to you and yours. I was pulling for the Vikes for you last night, but Cousins was just miserable. They need healthy Cook to make the offense go. They’re getting a wild card though, and it’s starting to look like a NO rematch in the first round is likely.

@ThanosReXXX - Sounds like a nice couple days! May the food and drinks be plentiful, and spirits bright. Cheers.

Happy holidays Nintendolifers.
With family, friends and all you meet.
Have a great one.
Be safe, be in control and look after yourself.
Best wishes

@bimmy-lee Spirits will probably be strong and inebriating, knowing my family. Some might even be hidden in the Christmas dishes or deserts...

@bimmy-lee thanks dude. I ended up gaming instead of watching so i found out this morning. The packers are somehow making it that's beyond my understanding. A rematch with NO though will be epic. I'm really looking forward to it.

@Heavyarms55 and who is this troll. I seriously can't find any comment that mentions them before yours.

Keep in mind I'm on vacation so I haven't been checking the site regularly, and I don't really frequent the main site that much to begin with, so if you guys have any tips on problematic users, please do share.

@Eel Have you checked his profile already, then? He's been around for a bit, and I've already noticed him in several comments sections, which is why I notified @Heavyarms55, because of the just too similar username, which in no way could be any kind of coincidence.

Here ya go:

@ThanosReXXX I couldn't even find any mention of that user, so thanks for linking to their profile.

@Eel You're welcome.

Looks like a recurring gender-politics-focused troll we have banned a few times in the past.

Seems they haven't had much activity since November. Maybe they found something else to do.

@Eel But he seems to even troll himself, or at least pretend to, because he seems rather short-sighted in many ways, yet the background picture on his profile said something along the lines of suggesting a certain game character be made gender neutral, so that was weird. I see you've removed the picture and all of the comments?

@ThanosReXXX Can bots troll like that user? If a troll, does mass trolling, and/or employs bots, that could possibly explain contradictions or lack of focus. This makes me think of troll farms & cyber offense.

@Woomy_NNYes I honestly can't say. I'm not interested enough in the topic of trolls and/or trolling to have the inclination to dive into it and find out the what's what of that rather annoying habit.

The avatar was probably meant to mock those comments.

Judging by the use of a rage face.

@ThanosReXXX Was the user preaching against the gender theories or for them? Just curious.

@Eel Man, I've been learning quite a few things about ways of online communication and peculiar pass times. Unfortunately, none of it positive or constructive...

@Zuljaras Well, apparently mocking them, but I've no way to tell anymore now, since the picture and the comments have been removed.

How many trolls would a web troll troll if a web troll could troll the web? I wasn't aware of that parody account, but I'm glad it's taken care of.

Apologies if I don't get in here much over the next few days. Most of my celebrations are tonight and tomorrow, so it's a marathon of family events, gifts, religious happenings, way too much food (and probably some spirits), some car time, and mild insomnia. Then I'm back to work Thursday but off Friday.

In case I don't sneak on here tomorrow, I wanna wish everyone a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Festivus for the rest of us, and a Happy What-You-Celebrate! And if you don't celebrate anything, I wish you a joyous next few days all the same. ^_^

I'll upload pictures of anything cool I get this weekend.

Merry Christmas early, everyone. I’m going back to sleep.

Merry Christmas.
Oh, hey, @HobbitGamer, your profile says you have Ark Survival. I'm very aware of it's flaws, but did you have fun with it?

Edit: oof. A recent youtube video of the game has frame rate drops that look like the screen freezes every half second in parts. I'm guess you're going to advise me against it
