Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

We did it boys.
We found the first Karen.

@RR529 that’s awesome!

She was Kyla, the winner of America's Next Top Model cycle 24.

@Anti-Matter Nice profile pic!

@Apportal
Thank you. 😀
I changed my avatar into Maurice, the handsome kickboxer monkey.
He will be seen in September 2020 from my calendar.

Between last night and this morning, was playing an old Jimmy Neutron game on GameCube, Jet Fusion to be specific. Now I'm full of nostalgia thanks to memories playing this game and in a good mood. How's the chit-chat thread doing?

@Sunsy I'm doing pretty good as well. Been playing New Horizons and Xenoblade Chronicles recently. (I lucked out and got the collector's edition on Nintendo's online store!) I did some decorating on my island, as well

Slowly dying out. I feel like it’ll be dead in a couple months

@MarioLover92 Very lucky and great to hear you're doing well. Nice, I was playing New Horizons for a bit with a friend last night, lately on Switch it's mostly been racing for me, with an event in Asphalt 9 and picked up Burnout Paradise a few weeks ago.

@Apportal Heh, I kind of meant people who visit the thread on how they're doing.

@Sunsy That's awesome. One of the things I made on my NH island was a Mario Kart track, complete with Mario's sprite from SMK! I made a Peach themed tea area, as well. I would love to make a Rosalina themed star area too, but sadly I don't have any crescent moons or those big star bits.

Speaking of racing games, I've been wanting to pick up CTR: Nitro-Fueled on Switch since it's on sale on the eShop. I did hear it runs great on Switch.

@MarioLover92 Very nice, I've been playing NH on and off for the passed few months. I haven't customized too much, but I did enjoy the fireworks last night. I still feel I'm really early on. Not counting a copy of Amiibo Festival I picked up for a few bucks, this is actually the first Animal Crossing game I got since the GameCube one (my friend mailed me a copy as a surprise).

If you get CTR, hope you enjoy it. I got it as a Christmas gift last year, it's a lot of fun. Really challenging, my brother and I were trying to remember how we beat this back in the day, haha. He had the original on PlayStation.

@Sunsy Cool, I didn't get into Animal Crossing until much later. First one I played was New Leaf, then I played Pocket Camp, and finally, New Horizons. I like the fireworks update too, some of my fireworks were power-ups from Super Mario Bros. 3. It kinda looked like the opening cutscene of Super Mario 3D World, and I love that game

Thanks! Glad you liked it too. I still have my PlayStation copy, as well - it's probably my favorite kart racer that's not Mario Kart.

@Sunsy
You played ACNH too? 😀
Have you seen some of my ACNH moments screenshots here?
While i was playing, i took some photos and recorded some moments.

@MarioLover92 That's awesome. I remember what sold me on the game were the silly Animal Crossing commercials that parodied that old MTV show, The Real World. Just thought they were funny and cute. Also, it sold me on the GBA-to-GC link for the island.

I remember picking up Amiibo Festival a few years back for a couple of bucks, contrary to popular opinion, I found it relaxing to play and enjoyed it for a bit. Plus, it gave me Isabelle and Digsby for cheap.

I like Team Sonic Racing and CTR in addition to Mario Kart, though the previous Sega and All-Stars Racing entries were a treat to someone who remembers some of Sega's series outside Sonic (I have a Dreamcast as well).

@Anti-Matter Yeah, a friend gave me a copy of it in the mail. I've been playing on and off. I think I've may have seen them a few times peeking in the thread.

To follow on from yesterday's Pikachu chips, today for lunch I had a cup of Soba. I believe it had seaweed in it, and was actually a little sweet.

@Sunsy I did know of the first one on the GameCube via Nintendo Power way back in 2002. At the time, I remember thinking it was too cutesy (yeah, I had a rather naive mindset when I was young) and I wasn't comfortable with how the game worked in real time. But it all grew on me in the end. At least with the ones that I've played, they're really relaxing and down-to-earth. Plus the beauty of Animal Crossing is that everything's done at your own pace. The adorable art style helps too - especially in New Horizons where the visuals really pop I've never played Amiibo Festival - personally I think I'll stick with Mario Party but glad you enjoyed it.

Yeah same here - Mario Kart will always be my favorite, but CTR and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed are also really good. I like Team Sonic Racing quite a bit, too - probably the most underrated kart racer that I've played.

@RR529 It was sweet from the ground up Tangela candies

@MarioLover92 It was pretty cool how Animal Crossing worked in real time back then. Then I did the fatal mistake of shutting off without saving... thanks Resetti. Thanks, also, that reminds me, I've been playing mini-games in Super Mario Party on and off. Really like the game.

I agree, other than someone I know, I don't see many play or talk about Team Sonic Racing. I consider it to be one of the more underrated Sonic games next to Sonic Riders and Sonic Battle (I love this one personally).

@Sunsy Ah, good old Resetti. That happened to me in New Leaf, that guy would yap on and on and on. Really like Super Mario Party as well. It's a nice return to the style of the older games, and many of the minigames are good fun. I just wish there were more boards and that they were more creative, but other than that I had a good time with it! My favorite one is Mario Party 6, but I also like 4, 5, 7, 8, DS, and of course Super. Didn't play too much of the N64 ones, as strange as it may sound.

And yeah I did like Sonic Riders quite a bit too. Same with Zero Gravity. Never played Free Riders though - I never had a Kinect and I didn't play too much 360 games, either. Last time I played Sonic Battle, that was years ago. But I do remember liking it. I started to really get into Sonic when SA2B came out.
