Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

it was in fact around 05-06.

if thats you, then you know who i really am. all these years i didnt realize you took up a job with the pork chop express. i should have moved up there when you asked me to.

also happy birthday:
@Tyranexx
@bimmy-lee
@NintendoByNature
@ronaldmcdonald
and whoever else i missed.
apparently there was a lot of love in the air 9 months ago.
retrospectively speaking.

@Wavey84
i like to keep my fingernails and toenails nicely trimmed.
i learned how to do that during the corona lock down.
i basically honed a skill i already had to perfection.

@Wavey84 I saw Cobra-Kai. Saw the first 3 episodes and so far it’s awesome. Humor mixed with nostalgia mixed with the classic karate chopping that we know and love. Pretty good so far.

ah...you know what?
i remember him mentioning selling stuff or realizing its all just sitting around.
he had a couple kids and probably received the famous "its me or the games" lecture from boss lady.
someone tried to pull that on me and i packed off the game room and left. lol
if he sold his earthbound stuff between me and him thats 4 official strategy guides gone in the wind.

@Wavey84 oh yeah I’m definitely not stopping. Great show. I was always a big fan of the 80s even if I wasn’t there around that time. Their style, music, clothing, movies etc. we’re all very incredible and likeable. I’m glad the show gets even better.

Brings back memories of watching the original secretly like 30 times when I was 10 or 11. I wasn’t exactly aloud to watch it then.

@Sunsy Yup. It's a huge series for sure. Only the most absolutely dedicated have seen it all.

Also, there's a National Video Game day? That's a thing? Where? Since when?

@Wavey84 agreed on your point on women who hate gaming. I don’t naturally like to call myself a “Gamer” mainly because I feel like a nerd, but people who don’t respect me, let alone look down on me just because I want to relax and game for a few hours is absurd. What’s the difference between that, and watching a movie? Or taking a nap? It’s my time and I can do what I want with it.

@Wavey84 I honestly feel like if a woman makes you feel like you have to change (ie, stop playing games) to earn her love, she doesn’t deserve that love in the first place. That’s why there are different types of females. Some like people who play games, and others don’t. Just because one specific person wants you to stop playing doesn’t mean you should. Move on and find somebody that accepts or even likes that.

My dad was a huge gamer back in the day, (47 now) and met my mother while playing Super Mario 64 with friends one time.

Someday I’ll find a gamer for myself, but for now I’m stuck in my house, chowing down cheez-its when I should be sleeping.

A true ladies man.

@Wavey84 but cheez-it’s are just too good...

I like to eat healthy too. I rarely eat out, and when I do I don’t order a lot. It’s kinda hard to be healthy during Quarantine tho I can tell you that...

I’ve tried to grow a beard for who knows how long. Can’t seem to get it right. I’m tired of all this stubble. I’ve known some that can grow facial hair very easily and it’s freaking annoying lol

I hate being told by my mom “oh you should try and grow a beard! It’s look good on you”

I’m trying, woman! I’m trying my best!

@Wavey84
@Apportal
weve had some folks on here say their "boss lady" made them "downgrade game collections" in order to make more room for "other stuff"
other stuff meaning purses and shoes.
i told one of them hes getting rid of the wrong thing lol.
id know, my ex tried to do that to me.
short story:
my game room started having random items appearing in it...printers, shoes, suitcases etc.
i took all that crap and moved it into one of the other rooms.
there were also 14 pairs of shoes under a freakin chair in the living room.
you dont mess with a man cave, everyone knows that.
you told me i can use this room for my game room, im holding you to it.
and damn those shoes were ugly.
told you this was gonna be a short story.

How do I stop watching a topic? I keep pressing the no button but every time I exit and go back in it says I’m watching it again.

@ogo79 - That picture is exactly how I look in my mind, but in reality; the only thing I share with him is the chain, except I have two of them. Guess I was chatting with someone else on MySpace in the middle aughts then.

@Blooper987 at the very top of the page is a button that says “stop watching”.

@Heavyarms55 Yeah, I just learned about it yesterday. Apparently September 12th is National Video Games Day in the US (I don't think anyone needs to be in the US to celebrate though). So celebrated by playing a few favorite games.

@Wavey84 wii is a classic case of Nintendo going too withered in tech they didn't realize they were obsolete on launch, but got lucky with a different audience anyway. By the time wii realized you hadn't been able to buy a crt for years, in the us, they were basically outlawed with ota sd broadcast ending .... You played a wii on lcd or dlp because that's what a display was at that point. My crt tv failed not 4 months before i was able to get wii (because nintendo always shorts supply for a year. ....), So yeah, i never had that experience, however 7 had a dlp that fares better, and a TN panel monitor that isn't super slow.

So the good part of the pointer was useless by the time it launched here. But wiimote was well a cool prototype that was too cheap to be good. Pointer aiming inherently has problems. If your room isn't perfectly laid out, if the tv isn't centered and it's angled. If you can't center the sensor. If you have other objects blocking movement it LoS. And worst of all, if other light or heat sources complete with the sensor it loses tracking constantly and becomes a jittery mess. It's cool for a demo room but not the real world.

Which is why they switched mostly to gyro instead of of the pointer. But the wiimote went cheap on the gyro and didn't include M+. Without rotational it was useless. And without magnetic centering it sucks... Same as on switch. It drifts too much. And the gyro it had was very low resolution.... Cheap. Wiiu and switch are much better there. But switch has no magnetic center. That was a big deal on wiiu

Most of the pointer tracking problems are still a problem with vr as well. The exotic pc setups have some better tech now but still not fantastic. Psvr loses tracking non stop.

@NintendoByNature Thanks! I'll be hitting 29, then next year....Goodbye 20s, hello 30s.

@bimmy-lee Thanks as well! I'm doing pretty well, busy with work as usual. Knocking a few things out in the adulting department too. And, until recently, I was taking advantage of Nintendo's relative silence to slim down my backlog a bit.

Hopefully everything is going well in the School of Bim and that all those who dwell within are doing very well!

On the beard: Depending on the facial hair length when you finally emerge from your dwelling, we'll have to call you Beard Von Bimmy.

@ogo79 Thanks! Winters can get long, so the parentals gotta pass the time somehow....

@Tyranexx its ok. It all goes down hill after that 😉

SO i'm picking between two game cuphead, or dbz fighterz I have played both of them before just not sure which one to pick what you guys think is better, and I love fighting games and run and guns.
