Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Looking for a new Ninty show.... trying to set it up.

@ThanosReXXX
I can draw the Non Chibi looking characters if i want, like i did on Calendars 2013, 2015 and 2016. Just take a look the comparison.

But my realistic looking proportion kinda looks like characters on Olympic 2020 PS4 game. 😅

As an outsider I'm so confused. This thread has at least three conversations going on, plus a monologue for a calendar about shirtless guys.

I don't think "The Chit Chat Thread" even starts to cover this work of art 😂 It's confusing yet amazing...

@Kimyonaakuma That's the Chit Chat Thread for ya.

There's something weird about chibi boxers with realistic proportions.

Cursed, some might say.

It's probably the head looking a bit small.

@Eel
That's why i don't draw a lot of realistic proportion for long time.
My realistic proportion looks somewhat like the characters on Olympic 2020 PS4 game. A little bit dwarfed.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
Patrick is going muscular too. 😆

@DannyBoi Here, allow me to help you with that:

@Anti-Matter Yeah.... still not getting the point, huh? Chibi or non chibi, the style you use is very cookie-cutter like, and regardless of the obvious skill that it does take, it's just not my thing. I like more realistic drawings, and no offense, but these remind me too much of Nickelodeon, the poor man's Disney channel.

@Kimyonaakuma Yup, confusing it can be sometimes. Keep up or give up might be our motto here...
All kidding aside, though: I've noticed it too if I've been away for a while, and sometimes a single topic takes over most of the conversation, often times Pokémon related, recently.

I think it's kinda like a merry-go-round: once you're an active part of the Chit-Chat thread, you'll automatically go along for the ride, but once you get out, the ride just keeps on going without you, and it's quite the chore to get back in and take part of whatever's going on...

Sometimes it goes fast as well: during October/November, I had been gone for a mere couple of weeks, and I was dozens of pages behind. I actually browsed through most of them, but I most definitely did not try to take part in any of the long-running conversations within these pages.

And of course, since it's Chit-Chat, anything goes, so yeah...
But, within the confines of the site rules, obviously.

@Eel What's even weirder is that the abdominal muscle group on the chibi boxer looks more realistic than that on the supposedly more "realistic" boxer...

@Eel
Oh okay, I can understand why people wouldn't like a sequel that doesn't add much to the universe (or canon) of that series. For some reason, that doesn't bug me, though. 🤔

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
Okay haha, YouTube recommendations can be really bizarre and random. 😆
Also, your latest picture didn't show up and is doing the infamous "Untitled" thing. 😐

@Anti-Matter
Okay, thanks for letting me know.
Oof, 7 hours and little progress?! All I have to say is yikes. 😬
Hopefully, you're able to continue your Avian Kickboxer calendar layout sooner rather than later.
Wow, sounds like you'll be busy for the next week (or two). Have fun with your calendars, and hopefully, you'll stop having problems with how it looks.

@Zuljaras
If you don't mind me asking, what makes you think that RGT 85 doesn't care about gaming? 🤔
I've only seen a few of his videos, so that's why I'm asking.

@Blooper987
Very nice. 👍
Yeah, I've heard that parallel parking is a pain. 😬
Wait I'm confused, why would COVID make it so that you wouldn't have to parallel park? 🤔

@SM3DASislit rgt85 is fun to watch but he's not very professional. Usually there's alot of 2nd takes that aren't edited that well. But it's kind of funny to see and has become the norm for him. He does seem to care based on what I watch. Mostly alot of retro and arcade stuff, but he does get into a lot of newer stuff too. If you just want silly fun gaming news watch rgt85, he's a clown, but in a good way.

Edit: and regarding @zuljaras comment, most if not all you tubers are click baity honestly. I wouldn't hold it over rgts head when they all do it.

@NintendoByNature
Oh okay, that makes sense. 🤔👍
Yikes, he should probably have better editing, but like you said he kinda likes to do his own thing. 🤔
Didn't realize that most YouTubers were considered "click baity", I'll have to keep that in mind. 😐

@SM3DASislit at least imo they are. That's nothing against them or negative. They just are and they're trying to make a living. I cant knock them for that.

@NintendoByNature
Oh okay, thanks for letting me know. 👍

Is it Christmas break yet? I'm so ready to be done with work this week.... X_X Having issues implementing a feature request in a coded mess of a major system area. What was the main guy who wrote this part thinking....

@Heavyarms55 I've heard most Ford Taurus cars hold up pretty well! That is a VERY good run for a car. I drive a 2012 Toyota Corolla I bought used in late 2013 that's still in decent shape. Wonder how long it'll last?

I did get out to play during my lunch today. I even found my first Vanillite! There are a couple of new event Pokemon floating around that I also caught (Stantler and variant 3727 of Pikachu). Nothing crazy to report beyond that, though I did hatch a Fletchling.

@ThanosReXXX Most of the Shrines have come to me easily, though I was stumped on one until I (briefly) consulted a walkthrough for it. Not the whole place; I learned that I missed the, in hindsight, VERY obvious object on which to use Magnesis....Facepalm That and Stasis are the most challenging runes for me since they're new concepts.

Hoping to play a little this evening. Didn't have a ton of gaming time yesterday and played Pushmo instead.

@Kimyonaakuma Welcome to the Chit-Chat Thread!

It's so weird how many times you see VR in tv series or other media as if they are like...currently relevant and not a tiny niche thing that some richer gamers and personalities like. Like they're presented as if they're the Wii in 2008 or something. I think all current versions of the big 3 VR headsets combined have sold less than the Wii U. People need to stop pretending VR is mainstream, everyone just watched people play Half Life Alyx.

@SM3DASislit A friendly piece of advice: you might wanna take it down a notch with the smileys and emoticons. Even I am already pushing it in my previous comment, so literally placing them after nearly every sentence is massive overkill.

@Tyranexx Well, I don't know if it's YOUR Christmas break yet, but all I have to do, is to survive this last Wednesday of the year at the office, and then I'll be free until the 5th of January, so hopefully, I'll be able to fit in some solid gaming hours. Lord knows my MASSIVE back log could do with some catching up...

So I was looking at the confirmed anime line up starting next month and holy mother of crap is it an absolutely insane season coming up! Just for returning series, we have in the same season:

Re:Zero, That Time I was Reincarnated as a Slime, Attack on Titan (final season!), Quintessential Quintuplets, Dr. Stone season 2: Stone Wars, The Promised Neverland season 2, Laid Back Camp 2 and another season of Strike Witches!!!!!!!

I have never seen such a killer lineup of returning shows in a single season before! Several of these are among my favorite anime in recent years! Especially Re:Zero, Titan, Stone and Slime! And that's not even talking about any potential new surprises!

That all of these are coming out in the same season is utterly mind blowing! We might be looking at one of the best seasons of anime we have ever had starting off 2021!

In other news, did anyone get outside this weekend to see Jupiter and Saturn in the night sky? They are super close together right now. I went out for a walk this evening and had a crystal clear sky, so I had a great view of them and the stars, and also spent about a half hour walking around the neighborhood looking at Christmas lights. One positive thing about living in this forsaken wasteland of a desert is that it's much warmer this time of year than it would have been in where I lived previously. So it's actually very nice to walk around. (of course we pay for that 10 months of the year with super high temperatures too...)

@Tyranexx Yeah, I've met a few people who agree with my fondness of the Taurus from that era. I wasn't a big fan of the new redesign Ford did, and I recently learned that Ford doesn't even make cars anymore. Only SUVs, Trucks, sports cars and other expensive over-compensations. Which is a shame because when I did get a car, I was hoping Ford would put out an electric Fiesta or Focus eventually.

Nice on the Vanillite. I nabbed a couple today. And a bunch of Snowrunt while I was gawking at Christmas lights and the planets a little while ago.

@Heavyarms55
Don't forget Sailor Moon Eternal, Doraemon Movie again.

I didn't see Jupiter and Saturn in the sky.
Where was it ? (i live in Southern hemisphere)

I’m fairly new to these forums, but I have lurked for a day or two. I am now fully recovered from COVID (it sucked) and ready to learn all about chibi anthro six-pack birds.

@Anti-Matter, I like your art style. Some of your art actually caught my daughter’s eye too. Are your calendars for sale?
