Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Tyranexx Yeah, throughout a large chunk of my childhood I mostly played Mario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Sonic. I did do some experimenting with other games, though like you I kinda wish I went all-out with it. When my brother and I lived with my dad in a new house, in addition to the then-new GameCube and GBA, we had a ton of games for the NES and SNES. I do remember playing stuff like Axelay, Super R-Type, Bubble Bobble, Dragon Quest I and III (the series was called Dragon Warrior back in the NES days - I'm just calling it DQ), and Mega Man 3 (this was my first exposure to MM, which I'm a fan of now). We did have a Top Secret Passwords player's guide, plus we were subscribed to Nintendo Power at the time, so I did at least read about games I missed out on. lol

@Tyranexx Yeah. It or my rufflet will be my next buddy once I evolve espurr.

Greninja has a great shiny, and now that hidden ability patches exist, I won't mind hunting one whenever he pops back up in the main series.

Man... I really really want the Stardew Valley update! Last month there was a post about how it was in the home stretch and it got me really excited to jump back in!

But it's been silence since then. I know there's only one, probably badly overworked super genius making the game and all that. But it's because I love his game that I really want to play the update! lol

Yeah, and hopefully the console versions will get the update shortly after pc.

I don't expect mobile to get it any time soon though. Too bad, because that's my 'main' version.

In other news. Ahh it's finally starting to feel like winter. My room has been consistenty under 24°c all week long. I just love it when I can sleep comfortably wrapped in a blanket without any air conditioning or fans making noise.

Heh. I even had to put on a sweater for a bit in the morning. It's so nice.

Meanwhile, here in Indonesia is rainy season.
It's raining at my hometown now.

It may rain here next week according to the weather app on my phone.

That would be nice.

It's gonna rain here this week too. It's been pretty hot, maybe I'll get some ice cream today.

and then there is beautiful germany with cloudy skies and snow anywhere. Freezing! give me some hot chocolate insted!

Did 2020 feel really long for anyone else? Usually when it's december I'm like "wow, it's december already!", but this year it felt like an eternity.

Felt quick for me. Not saying it was fun though.

All things considered it was quick for me. I still remember the few social things i'd done before COVID. Saw the original King Kong in theaters the week before lockdown. Feels like it happened a week ago.

And then wonderful America where it's so cold I might freeze to death without my portable heater.

@Vinny I'd say the first half was really long, but I don't know where the time went between July-December.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand this was the first day of the year where my some of my hair froze solid when I got out of the shower - so keep that portable heater close! I'm in Scotland but I'm sure people can freeze to death over in the US too

@Kimyonaakuma Jeez, after hearing that I feel a little better about living in America.

Talking about that, apparently some days ago a Russian livestreamer was extremely awful and, as requested by an user that donated a relatively large amount of money, he locked his girlfriend out in the Russian cold for several minutes.

He then proceeded to continue streaming after she died of hypothermia on camera.

She was apparently pregnant as well.

@Eel That's, ummm, to put it lightly, awful.

@DannyBoi
Sorry for the late response, I was busy this week.

• I believe that GameCube and Wii games will be sold separately as well.
  However, I believe this is the case, because if Nintendo were to make a GameCube and Wii NSO app, (like NES and Super NES) the file sizes would be probably get too big for some users (especially for Wii).
  IIRC, the NES and Super NES NSO apps are still under 1 GB.

@Vinny
I didn't play DDR Arcade since 15 March 2020 due to covid19 pandemic.
I got weight gain 5 kg for not playing DDR Arcade for long time. 😣
I got some fat on my belly and hip, never before experienced with weight gain, i feel embarrassed when i see my reflection on the mirror.

Well folks, I finally started playing through Breath of the Wild! Now I can finally experience what everyone has been raving about for the past 3+ years! @NintendoByNature can sleep peacefully now. Really enjoying my time with the game so far. Still trying to get in the groove of things. Beating up bokoblins, finding random stuff and trying to figure out what to do with it, following directions from an insane old dude....Definitely fun. And I'm sure I've barely scratched the surface.

@MarioLover92 Most of my early video game exposure was to platformers on the NES and SNES (mainly the latter) that relatives owned. Some Sega Genesis exposure through a babysitter too. I was easily pulled into the multimedia bubble as a kid; I only wanted games that had to do with TV shows, movies, and/or characters I was into. I loved Pokemon, but it was pretty much my only RPG series for years until I played the Mega Man Battle Network games (I liked the anime that aired here for it, Megaman NT Warrior). I owned some of the earlier Harry Potter games too, namely the ones that were in action/adventure and RPG formats; an excellent studio named Griptonite handled these, but the entries became more mediocre and were clearly cash-grabs after EA took over development.

I unfortunately didn't know about Nintendo Power until it almost ceased publication. Such a shame; I would have loved to read through them!

@Heavyarms55 Did you hatch Rufflet? I don't have either it or Vullaby unfortunately. I'm terrible at finding 10k eggs.

I did get out to play for a little while today and have enough to evolve a few of my new Pokemon now. I think I'll wait until I can use a Lucky Egg, which probably won't be until this next weekend during the C-day event.

@Eel Please tell me the authorities stepped in. That's horrible and sad.

@Tyranexx oh my. I can't remember if I told you I did a 3rd playthrough recently? Well its that good. And since I'm fresh off it let me know if you need any pointers! Glad you finally joined the club 😉
