@kkslider5552000 who? The guy with the sigilyph avatar? Eire something?

Or the one that had a wiiu avatar I think?

I mostly remember him for having a chocobo avatar. I wanna say Bleach at one point too.

Oh, i got some XBOX 360 games yesterday. 😀

And Dance Dance Revolution Ultramix 1 & 2 XBOX as well. 😁

@kkslider5552000 oh I think I remember that. Vaguely.

@MarioLover92 Sounds nice, enjoy those games.

@Tyranexx Cool, I didn't know the original Hyrule Warriors was non-canon. I'll still try to check it out somehow, whether it's Wii U, 3DS, or the Switch re-release. Having fun with Age of Calamity so far.

@Anti-Matter Wow, Ultramix. I remember that as one of the first Xbox games my brother got. Use to play it quite a bit too, he had the mat too. That was the only DDR game we had.

@Sunsy
My next target is getting DDR Ultramix 3 & 4 from Ebay and then done.
Only 4 XBOX games that i will collect (DDR Ultramix 1 - 4) since the multi console games during PS2 / XBOX / Gamecube era are worthier to be played on PS2 or Gamecube rather than on XBOX.
The XBOX exclusive games are mostly the games i really hate most (too many rated 18+ shooter games / action games), even Blinx the only rated E XBOX only game didn't even impressed me for very confusing gameplay.

My target for XBOX 360 are getting until 16 games with ratio = 4 Non Kinect games (DDR Universe 1 - 3 + Zoo Tycoon) & 12 Kinect games.

I never understand the appeal of Gamepass, partial backward compatible by licence updates (not by disc emulating) from XBOX machines. I played very different games, the casual, niche and unpopular games, is that wrong to get equal treatments for Backward Compatible on XBOX ONE and Series X ?
Microsoft seems doesn't even like casual gamers to get treated equally (they stopped supporting Kinect games), just only care with hardcore gamers for bloodspilling games only.
For Gamepass, i never like in the slightest for 2 reasons: i don't want renting games, i don't even want to see any rated 18+ games appeared on my system as ready to play free games. They are bloody hell forbidden in my gaming area.

I will buy only 2 XBOX machines: XBOX Classic and XBOX 360. Only those machines that have 20 worthy games combined. 20 games are still quite a lot for my collections.
After XBOX 360, i don't even see something worthy from XBOX ONE, not even the slighest for Series X.

@Sunsy Thanks! Been playing FE:3H the past few days, so that was the first one I played. Enjoying it so far, even though I'm not that good at tactical games lol. I also got season 2 of My Hero Academia on blu-ray, as well. Glad you're having fun with AoC

@Anti-Matter I'm kind of the same way. I mean I get why people like Game Pass, as it offers like 100 games for those who subscribe to it, but I already have a ton of games to begin with (most of them on Nintendo consoles) so I like sticking with what I have and adding to it. And I don't have an Xbox anyway, nor am I getting one anytime soon.

@MarioLover92
DDR and Kinect games are main reasons i must have XBOX and XBOX 360.
I'm totally fine to not following XBOX ONE and Series X as from XBOX ONE, only 3 games i have interest about and All those 3 games are actually the Remaster version of 3 games from XBOX 360 (Kinect Disneyland Adventures, Kinect Rush Disney Adventures and Zoo Tycoon).
I will not buy XBOX ONE for only 3 games.
It just wasting my money.
The multi console games i can consider the PS4 or Switch version but not the XBOX ONE version as XBOX ONE games need Online checking before playing and that was suck.

@Anti-Matter There's literally just one Xbox One game that I'd like, and that's Rare Replay. Last I knew, it's not on PC/Steam or Switch, just the X1. I'm kinda hoping it makes its way to the Switch, so that'd be one less console for me to buy! And yeah, I hate how the X1 does that online checking thing too...I remember when it was first announced and they said you have to be connected online to play your games. That left a bad first impression on me.

@MarioLover92
I heard Xbox Series X did the same thing too, especially when you put XBOX ONE disc into Series X.
I know Microsoft want to stop piracy but online checking was a terrible idea for video game.
But alas, Xbox Series X looks ridiculous atrocious in machine design (looks like mini fridge LOL) and the price (Here in Indonesia, XBOX series X priced around Rp 11,000,000 or more than US$ 783 !!)

@Eel
I'm really confused now.
I was talking with ThanosReXXX about this, and he said that Nintendo Life had one for the first half of the time that he's been on here. I only joined this year, so I never had an emoji menu bar option, but I thought it was weird (and kind of confusing) that Nintendo Life doesn't have one since other websites have it. 🤔

@Tyranexx
Okay, that's good that you got some in gaming on Christmas. Nice, I also got most of the stuff I wanted off my list.
Sounds like you'll be busy for a while.

@SM3DASislit
You can use emoji by copy paste from website or type the letters to make emojis.
For example : and ) will make happy face

Edit: Oh, snap.
It also disappeared too from my smartphone.
I can use emoji sets from my smartphone features.

@Anti-Matter
That's what I've started to do. However, the thinking face that I like to use doesn't seem to work, so I just use the emoji that I've been using for that, but thanks for the advice, though.

Petition for Nitendolife to get an emoji box/ bar or whatever .... I'll sign it!

@BruceCM
Actually, I might be able to get something like that. I was thinking of something, but you just gave me the "push" to do it. I'll be back guys.

EDIT: I'm back. I just asked antdickens, a few minutes ago, on the Ideas for the Site Forum if he could add an emoji menu bar (or emoji tray) if the comments UI gets revamped.

I just want private messaging with users. That would make things alot easier sharing codes or invites etc.

That would be useful .... I'm not sure why they don't have it already!

Yeah, I would think there would be a way to grant special permission to some people here for private messages. There have been a few times where that could have helped.

Also, anybody know if Octane still alive? Still working for NL? Been wondering that lately.

@BruceCM exactly. Hopefully 2021!

@Anti-Matter No, I just looked up some pictures. If it was my console, I would have said so.

As for PlayStation: that's never going to happen here. I have a long, difficult and VERY negative history with Sony, and there's nothing that they'll ever be able to do to win me back, so a Sony console is NEVER going to enter this household.

@Eel Oh, there was an emoji bar alright. Must have been around 3 to 4 years ago by now, already. At some point in time, it was suddenly removed, basically without notice.

@Tyranexx They bought you clothes, huh? Well, here's hoping none of them were any of these butt-ugly Christmas pullovers...

Agreed on the giving gifts to kids. My niece is now 26, but she still reacts very enthusiastically if I give here something. My sister and my dad LOVE to read, especially now with the lock down and nothing to do, so giving them books was a given. My brother in law isn't much of a reader per se, but he does like soccer and he is completely addicted to golf, so I gave him two books, one about each topic.

The next day, I was back at my dad's place (stayed with him for a couple of days), and I also gave him a Blu-ray bundle from National Geographic, called "Great Migrations". He watches a lot of nature documentaries and series, so that too was an easy choice to make.

Oh, and I finally buckled (@rjejr and @NEStalgia are probably laughing their socks off now, knowing how I used to feel and speak about it) and subscribed myself to Netflix. Kind of used a talk with my dad about his feelings concerning how sparse the offerings are on public and commercial TV nowadays, even with all these channels that we've got available to us, as an excuse. And like me, he likes a lot of fantasy and sci-fi, as well as super hero stuff, so with all that being there on Netflix, I decided to take the jump, and set it up for him on his smart TV.

Currently, he's slow-binging his way through all 7 seasons of "The 100", after we've watched the first season together. Before that, we were also watching Grimm, but only a couple of episodes every other week, when I visit him on Sundays. Now he can watch series whenever he wants. And I've got some extra stuff to watch as well. I started with "The Umbrella Academy", but it's not very accessible, to be honest. I'll probably watch it to the end, because I never leave things unfinished, even if I'm not instantly hooked, but still...
