Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Zuljaras Dang it, didn't think of that. Hey, @Anti-Matter, can you just give me a TL;DR or a short sentence explaining your dislikes of western heros?

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
I do not like their looking, their costumes, their storyline, their popularity.
All the aspects from geometric pattern (character design), color schemes, storyline ideas, etc just really do not even match with my brain.
They always look horrible to me, just like i never like soccer at all.
It was like i choose which outfits that looks nice for my body. And the Western superheroes looks like awful outfits for my body. I don't even want to wear awful outfits, it just makes me looks stupid.
It was not about the violence, it was about their appearance and popularity. I felt irked by overpopular things that wasn't supposed to be overpopular. It just disturbing me.

I didn't grow with Western superheroes, i grew with some Japanese franchises that really suitable for me so i mostly have fond with some Japanese franchises.
But only a few Western franchises that suitable for my taste such as Disney (but not all Disney franchises i like), Handy Manny, Biker Mice from Mars, Road Rovers, Tiny Toon Adventures, Wild Kratts, Codename Kids Next Door, etc.

Oh, btw.
This is in my brain almost all the time.

@Anti-Matter Firstly, you really had to write a whole essay?

Secondly,

Nintendo is an "overpopular" company that wasn't made to be "overpopular". That description can fit almost anything.

FINALLY,

i notice that you like Tiny Toon Adventures, do you also enjoy Animaniacs?

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
Not really interested for Animaniacs as i rarely to watch them when i was kid.

Btw, i stopped watching Disney Infinity 2.0 & 3.0 first play immediately after i saw Star Wars and Marvel Heroes gameplay from the beginning. I don't buy video games for playing Star Wars and Marvel Heroes.

@MarioLover92 The Yoshi one with the antlers sounds really cute. I think I still have my oldest Mario ornament, which has Mario riding Yoshi and Yoshi holding a gift. Had this one since I was a kid.

@Tyranexx Very cool to see those games get represented in Hyrule Warriors.

@Anti-Matter Being someone who isn't into super heroes, I've always been a cute cartoon kind of person, I have Infinity 2.0, as well as 3.0. While Disney was promoting both Marvel and Star Wars with both respectively, the games actually added more Disney content with each version via toy box. I have 2.0, and not one Marvel figure (IIRC, they also had a 2.0 starter set Merida and Stitch, that's the set I got)

@Sunsy
I decided to not bothering again Disney Infinity games after short deliberation.
I was kinda curious for a while but not anymore.
I will not forcing myself to play games with something that made me very uncomfortable.

@Anti-Matter Yep, there's absolutely nothing wrong with owning multiple game consoles and picking the games for a platform platform that best suits your tastes. Most game systems have something for about everyone if you look hard enough, as you've found.

@MarioLover92 Aha! I caught you playing XC:DE yesterday! Where are you at in the game? I've played both XC:DE and XCX, but I haven't played XC2 or Torna yet.

@BruceCM I know what a lot of internal PC hardware components look like, but I've never dealt with taking one apart or building one; the most I've ever done is swap out RAM lol. It would be an interesting project, though I do have misgivings as I'm worried I'll mess up a major and expensive component when hooking everything up.

I would like a decent PC in the future though; not only for gaming, but for some rendering work as well. I want to mess around with Unity again.

Yeah, that's what I'd be concerned about, too, @Tyranexx .... If you buy a PC from a decent place, you get a warranty & can usually pay for extra/ extended coverage! Then, IF anything goes wrong, they have phone/ online support &/ or can repair/ replace the thing
For me, at least, it's worth paying a bit more to get all of that, than saving the money by trying to do it myself & then if anything goes wrong, I end up having to spend a lot more

@Eel Oh that's cool, I've heard of the Zelda G&W. I do have a couple history of Nintendo books too, and one of them is all about their Game & Watch line.

@Sunsy It is cute And nice! I think I said this a while back but one more I have is of Princess Peach and Toad ice skating together. We both have some cool ornaments, don't we?

@Anti-Matter Yeah, no one's forcing you to play whatever you're not interested in. Play what you like. I never cared for stuff like CoD, Fortnite, and the bajillion sports games that EA likes to make every year, so I just ignore them and play games like Mario instead. lol

@Tyranexx Oh noes, I've been caught! I just got past the part where you fight the Scout Entias. Previously I was stuck in the Defensive Kromar fight - I had to lure them one at a time, lol.

@theJGG Yeah it's a really good game for sure. I did get stuck in the Defensive Kromar fight but I managed to get past it last night. So that's cool. Kinda losing steam with AC:NH now anyway so I'll be sure to put more time into it!

@MarioLover92 Their Beastman Curse is massively frustrating! The combat’s really meaty but there’s much harder boss fights in wait, and hopefully you pay for your insolence (game quote).

PS. How do you place a black bar over spoilers? I can be more liberal with my writing that way. Thanks!

@theJGG [ spoiler ] Insert spoiler here [ /spoiler ]

Without the spaces of course. Hope this helped

@MarioLover92 Something non-spoilery, promise: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog . Awesome, thank you very much! Helped me a ton and I'll be conscious of spoilers!

Saw your comment on your views on Fortnite, and EA Sports games and I feel the exact same way about it. I was never truly tempted to sign up for that game even though it was free and all. I'm not a fan of dedicated shooter games in general, but games like Uncharted are alright, because they use guns in their relevant capacity, not as a main weapon. You can use melee combat, or an AK-47, and that freedom makes me enjoy the game.

As for EA, I play a few Codemasters games, and they know their stuff when it comes to making a perfect arcade-sim experience. The F1 series, and the DiRT series are hallmarks of this. And now they're being bought by EA, who release the same game every year, treat the Switch user base like garbage, and employ literal apes to design their 2021 box art (for real it is very uninspiring). Don't like their loot box shenanigans either.

@Blooper987 My day's been ruined! Time travel to 2018 and tell me that, and I wouldn't know... (naturally I didn't make an account until 2020, but still) though. Good practice!

@MarioLover92 @theJGG I have a secret for you two

@ThanosReXXX
Okay, that makes sense.
That's a good attitude to have. It's always good to have a positive attitude on things, and life in general. I also tend to have a Glass half full point of view as well.

@Tyranexx
Okay. I also seemed to have missed it in here as well, as I (somehow) didn't see it. It's always good to have breaks from the internet every now and then. Nice, sounds like you made decent progress in BOTW. Usually, I tend to play around a couple of hours a day myself, so I understand what you mean by that.
Oh okay, I was just curious. 1-3 games a month isn't bad at all. I thought you were going to say that your usual amount per month was going to 5 - 10 games (for some reason). I also happened to pick up a couple of games in June as well. I think I remember the summer sale, now that you mention it (there are too many sales to keep track of). 🤔

Also, I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but I believe the Chit Chat Thread is slightly broken.
I say this because when I clicked the notifications today for this Thread, it gave me a (mostly) blank NintendoLife page, with only the top "bar" showing up. However, when I clicked on this Thread through the Forum Topics section, it works completely fine, so I don't know what's going with the notifications in this thread specifically. 🤔

@Blooper987 Welp, good thing I played Melee!

@theJGG Yeah you're welcome! I didn't play much of Uncharted, but my brother got into it when he had the PS3. I did play the third one for a little bit, just never got into it for some reason. And yeah...I don't like loot boxes very much either. Rather buy the game once and be done with it, lol. And DLC if it's worth it.

@SM3DASislit I literally had the same thing happen to me today. I saw that theJGG replied to one of my posts, I clicked on the notification, and I got that same bar. My first thought was that the post was deleted, but it's still up. Just had to look at my email and to go back a page to see it.

Tonight I'm doing nothing but blasting some Kasugyama High School on the Persona 2 OST on Spotify

So freaking happy that Atlus is actually releasing the series soundtracks for streaming in the West

Sorry @Eel didn’t know I couldn’t do that.

@Blooper987 that's fine. You could try asking your question here.

Sure! What do you guys think the best animated show is? It can be either American or Japanese animation, and you can choose based off of art, music, writing, or your own personal preference.

@Blooper987 copied from the deleted thread:

Studio Ghibli would definitely be top of most people's lists, Spirited Away is one of the best movies ever made.
I also have a soft spot for Neon Genesis Evangelion as well and feel that is an almost perfect anime - between story arc and the characterisation it just nails everything for me. The Netflix version feels off because of the redub but it's still a great watch.
