Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@HobbitGamer Unless someone has a pathological fear of rodents as mice did get in there, it really wasn't a house of horrors. Until you get up to my dad's "organized mess" that is. Mom will probably order a dumpster whenever my parents move. XD

...There was an established beehive under part of the south side at one point, at about ground level. The floor is still a bit spongy there where I'm sure some old honeycomb still exists. The bees moved out of their own accord. I used to like watching them. I'd legit sit a couple feet from the entrance and watch their comings and goings.

@ThanosReXXX I didn't get a chance to read last night, but I should dig back into the book this evening. I actually don't have anything going on for a change.

Sounds like you're trying to go for a certification or license of sorts. I know those can be pretty demanding and require a lot of studying along with a fair amount of stress. Again, best of luck to you! I'd be interested in more details when/if you choose to disclose them.

@NEStalgia My friend the other day said “I unironically want to see the Sonic movie”. That makes no sense. That’s operating from a standpoint that the majority of viewers are only seeing the movie out of irony. In these instances, if a person really needed a qualifier for statements made in, they could use the word ‘genuine’. Still, that’s operating from the assumption that everyone firstly says things they don’t mean with the words they use.

Today’s speech is stupid. I stand by my frustration.

@Tyranexx Thanks, and yes, that's what it is: a certificate, that I need in order to be able to work in the industry/sector that I've chosen to switch to. Here's hoping I succeed, because right now, my head is overflowing from the information input (or rather: over-abundance) and even after all these weeks, it doesn't really feel like I'm getting a clear grip on it just yet, so this week is going to remain stressful.

@HobbitGamer I unironically literally like no. I mean, it's not even!

My assumption there is that, well, the Sonic movie looks bad. Even if it's ok, it looks bad. The starting assumption, especially given the Sonic fanbase and its history, is that saying you want to see it is a joke. An irony. Thus "unironically" wanting to see it is a synonym for "genuinely" wanting to see it.

Use of "ironically/unironically" is (ironically) used as a tongue in cheek play against the hipster stereotype who does contradictory things "ironically" (in their own words) (otherwise known as desperate pleas for attention.) It's a cliche, if real, stereotype being characterized by related word abuse.

I believe young adults like to call these "mimis" or something.

@ThanosReXXX I can definitely sympathize on information overload; it's something I frequently deal with in my own job, depending on the day. Especially if I'm trying to learn something new. Brain saturation, IMO, is way more exhausting than physical labor.

If you need to take some time away for studying, I'm sure there will be no qualms about that.

@Tyranexx Well, I usually use this forum as an outlet, to blow off some steam and relax, so for me it works the other way around. All study and no play makes for a VERY grumpy ThanosReXXX...

@ThanosReXXX Is there a way we can tell the difference? Some sort of flag or indicator or something?

@NEStalgia What, for me being grumpy? I meant that I'd become WAY more grumpy if I didn't have this forum as an outlet, so I literally NEED to have it as a way to relax a bit, in the evening, after my daily studies and brain-racking sessions...

How does Andrew’s Apple compare to Lisa’s Lasagna? Leave your comments and hatred below!

I was thinking about PPAP (Pen Pineapple Apple Pen) when i saw Andrew's Apple. 😂

Btw, have you read my short story creation on the previous page 1998 ?

Yup, time for some much needed violence.
Has anyone in here downloaded Warface yet? It's actually pretty entertaining, for a free 2 play fps.

I have finished both Ratchet & Clank: Quest for Booty (finished in 2 days!!) and Ratchet & Clank: A Crack in Time recently. 😉
I felt bad to General Azimuth that backstabbing Ratchet after defeating Dr Nefarious and he sacrificed his life to stop the Time Flux.

I still terrible to shoot the targets in Ratchet games so i played them in Easy / Casual difficulty except for A Crack in Time that i chose Normal difficulty.

Nintendo can be pigheaded sometimes you know? Real stupid policies.

Chills.
No need to complain with every single flaws from Nintendo Switch.

@ThanosReXXX I haven't played it yet. But I've got my eye on it. Let me know how you like it. I used to play a ton of cod years ago and slowly fell out of it.

Edit: I downloaded it anyway. It says 14mb on the website but that doesn't seem right. Is it really that small? I'll check my system later but it doesn't sound like a small game. Friend me later if you want to play. Only problem is we probably play at different times since I'll be playing around 8pm cst time (or 9pm est)

@NintendoByNature Haha, no it's definitely not 14MB. It's 7.4GB. That's also what it says on the game's eShop page if you scroll down to "more information" or "additional information". Seeing as my eShop version is in Dutch, I don't know what it says exactly.

I'll add you, and send you an invite, but we're about 8 to 9 hours apart, so how and if that's going to work out, remains to be seen. I'd say more than likely not on weekdays...

@NintendoByNature Friend request sent. It says ThanosReXX, because apparently, Nintendo still works with a limit on how long a username can be, so I had to drop one X...

The Animal Crossing Direct news is welcome. Not a game on really keeping an eye on, but I'm pleased that there's one at all and am happy for those wanting more news for the title.

@ThanosReXXX Haha, that's true for most I'd think! Bonus points for another The Shining reference.

@ThanosReXXX figured it was closer to 10gb, it probabaly won't be ready to play til later tonight so we might have to plan on the weekend. I'll accept the request later tonight.

@Tyranexx You mean the "all work and no play" comment? I didn't even realize it was until you pointed it out just now...
Too long ago that I've seen that movie.

@NintendoByNature No rush, man. I'll see you when I'll see you. I've just done the training rounds with 3 strangers as team buddies, and it was actually fun. It's squad-based, so you're planted on a map with an objective, and you either fight with your team against the computer or against other human teams.

Yeah, I think I'm gonna keep it. Way too few normal fps games on the Switch as it is...
