Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Heavyarms55 I was actually a lego fanatic before I started my gaming hobby. I like a good set now and then, but I don't buy them as much as I used to.

The largest one I built was the 3929 piece Technic Bucket Wheel Excavator. I was a huge Technic fan back then.

I just discovered this web game called AI dungeon. It is a text-based rpg that can generate content via an AI. The AI isn't all that good at coherent plots or remembering where you are though though. An example from a game I played:
(Me)-You head towards a castle
(AI) You head towards the castle. Suddenly, the lights turn off and everyone in the room is dead.

@Lindhardt I played that and got it to let me turn everyone into women, myself included and then we had did NSFW stuff in order to kill the demon king and restart human civilization with me and my wife as immortal lesbian goddesses.

It's a silly game.

@App It's an expensive hobby to be sure. You'd need a lot of spending money to game and do Lego. Lol

@App have you ever heard of diep.io?

Here is a new piece I started just now. Again in the creepy Halloween vibe.

dude, are u drawing that? if you are, i am impressed!

@Heavyarms55 My siblings and I shared a lot of Legos until we started getting/buying individual sets; those usually stayed assembled as there was less of a chance we'd lose the special pieces. Outside of the sets, the loose bricks fit into a bin about the size of a standard filing cabinet drawer. We also incorporated some of those Lego constructs with a set of Lincoln Logs I received when I was very young. Some of my imaginary constructs involved more fantasy settings, but my siblings were more practical with house setups and whatnot. Everyone has different imaginations, I suppose, but I found a lot of what they dreamed up too...normal.

Yeah, that was all a long time ago. I still pick up the occasional Harry Potter set, but not really anything outside of that franchise these days.

@Zulijaras thats really cool like @app said you really should there amazing artwork!

@Tyranexx Star Wars and other sci-fi were always my favorite sets. The Harry Potter stuff came later.

@Heavyarms55 I felt Star Wars were very generic. it got tiring building the same spaceship over and over again. I mentioned above I liked Technic sets, but I was very fond of Lego Creator and Lego Ideas.
Have you heard that lego Ideas received 26 submissions for lego sets, consisting of some of the best ideas I've ever seen, and do you want to know the one and only one they picked?

A globe.

A freaking globe.

Quick question I thought I'd post in here as I didn't want to revive a years-old thread...

I'm considering buying a pro controller for the Switch, but not sure if it's worth it. Have owned the console since launch but have always just used the joy cons fitted in the grip. Have read varying opinions, one of which is that the pro controller offers a better overall experience, better accuracy and reaction times.

Pro controller isn't cheap, $AU89 in fact, but it's probably a small price to pay to get the most out of the system and its games.

Anyone have experience with both and can point me in the right direction? Please help?

Good enough for me! Bit the bullet and just bought one now and picking it up shortly!

@Heavyarms55 They've actually been rereleasing a few previous Harry Potter sets with updated pieces. Trying not to dig back into some of the old ones lol.

A coworker of mine is a huge Star Wars fan and has spent several thousand on some of the more impressive sets. He does plan his purchases and has limits though. Especially since he now has a dog to spoil. XD

@Tyranexx @App I really liked building the ships. I had most of the classic fighters, the X, A, Y and B-Wing rebel fighters. I built my own E-wing based on the fighter from the expanded universe (what Disney stupidly removed from the canon) and 4 different TIE fighters, the original, Vader's TIE Advanced, the Interceptor and the TIE defender, to my knowledge, the only EU ship to get a set. I used to set up hangar bays with repair areas full of droids and ladders and mechanics running around. I also spent a lot of time trying to build my own fighter designs. I also had the Attack of the Clones Jedi starfighter, the LAAT Republic Gunship, and the AT-TE which sadly I destroyed and never rebuilt...

I would spend hours building and rebuilding my own command base. One of my favorite pieces of Star Wars are the X-wing books by Michael Stackpole and Aaron Allston. In one of them Rogue Squadron lives up to their name and goes rogue when the New Republic wont sanction their mission - all 12 pilots repaint their X-wings in unique colors. I always wanted to build 12 X-wings based on that book but I never had enough of the right parts in the needed colors...

I built my own Lego Jedi order and custom made mini-figures for a whole bunch of Jedi from the games and books.

Outside of Star Wars Lego, I was a fan of the old ninja sets they had at one point. I had a cool set on a custom board, that was two castles with a bridge going over a river. That board I reused over and over building all kinds of things. I used to love getting different kinds of boards and different colors. I remember building a city at one point, complete with a main street and cars. Of course I wanted to add a military base too, but I didn't have the room. lol

Ahh good times!

And yeah, I think I remember the globe thing. In a lot of ways, Lego is like Nintendo - there are so many things they could do, that people would eat up, and they don't do it. I always wanted to be able to buy specific blocks in the colors I wanted. Or to be able to order specific mini-figures. A few times I rebought the same small sets, just because they had more stormtoopers or battle droids. I really enjoyed making my own figures by mixing and matching figures with different arms, legs, heads and accessories.

Speaking of that, it's kind of why I don't like the new Lego-Nintendo stuff because they don't use the classic style mini figures, meaning I couldn't easily mix them into my existing collection.

Today I got my latest purchases.

Some retro, some modern retro and a modern game

I was pleasantly surprised that Ion Fury got a booklet and stickers inside and it is not a limited game.

And Lego Harry Potter Remastered collection for the Switch is bound to arrive tomorrow!

On top of all I am eyeing a copy from play-asia of Final Fantasy X-X2 Japanese version as it has both games on the cart and it will play in English text and voiceovers from the start!

@Zuljaras Could you let me know how LEGO Harry Potter is? I'd love to get it but I don't want to waste my money.

@App What do you mean? Good in terms of FPS and graphics?

If not it is a Lego game and it is made to be fun no serious.

I am getting it because I am a huge fan of Harry Potter and to see it from a funny/whimsical perspective is actually fun.

This would be my third Lego game - the other 2 are Lego City Undercover (Lego GTA) and Lego Worlds (Lego Minecraft).

@Zuljaras Sorry for not being clear. I mean, is it a good LEGO game? Is it long? would it be worth the money?
