Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@WaveWitch I'm the other way, love the Lite (even including its short comings) as im 100% handheld on Switch - If I'm playing on the TV I want 4k and steady 60fps.
I found the Swiych cumbersome to play handheld for extended periods and as I have arthritis in my knuckles it also got painful for me, I don't get any of that from the Lite and it's perfect to play in bed while she watches TV.

@WaveWitch Nintendo is a little behind on this tech. They mainly rely on their flagships Mario, Zelda and Pokemon to carry them and ofc the portability.

I doubt the will even attempt again something like that after the ... dare I say it ... LABO!

@Heavyarms55 Huh. That's really odd...it should let you join a friend and do the rest of the player matching anyway. I did some research right here and it said that in version 4.0.0 (from 2018), it'll add the appropriate number of teammates for if there's fewer than 4 friends if you're playing in normal Splatfest battles. So I think they changed that. Once we both have the time, do you wanna try to join me while I play a normal turf war match? I'm curious to see how it works now.

Now that you mention it, I have tried joining someone on my friend list a couple years ago but I couldn't join for whatever reason. That player sent me a friend request from a global testfire match and since there's no messaging on the Switch, it was literally impossible to keep an open line of communication.

@Tyranexx Ah I see. While I was doing side quests, I've been playing as her and she's got some really powerful arts. So she seems to be quite promising to me.

@Sunsy Yep - I actually used to have that game in a Nintendo Mini Classics handheld. It was shaped like a Game Boy Pocket - it was green, had a keychain, was really small, and even had a kickstand. I lost it a long time ago though.

The main (2) issues (that I know won't straight up break the rules on here) are social media and the polarization that the US has been going through for a while now.
1. When social media began to become more and more prevalent in our lives, some people started to have social media tell them what to do (even if they doing it before) and having the social media"tell them" what to think and why.
Unfortunately, this has caused people to go into "mob mentality" mode and have people not thinking about what they believe in, and going with "the rest of the wave".
2. The polarization the US is going through has become more and more "normalized" because of social media, and also because of the rise of "extremist" groups on both sides, and the decline of moderate groups on both sides.
I will now back out of this, as I don't want to go any further into this, and start a "forum war".
Please let me know if I came off as too strong (at all), as I wanted to make this point, but I that this is a "sensitive" topic, so I want to as civil and respectful as I can be, but also still get the point across. 🤔
I also don't usually dive into "politics", but I felt I needed to speak up about this.

EDIT: Replaced "the internet" with "social media" to make my statement more accurate.

@ThanosReXXX
You're totally fine. I completely get where you coming from. I haven't watched TV news in years, and I haven't really looked into any "political" news (aside from elections) since May 2017, because of how toxic (and depressing) news can be. The only "real" news I look at now is gaming and movie related (mostly Disney for movie news).
Okay, thanks for letting me know. That's why I didn't contact any of the staff, as the issue seemed to go away quickly, and I figured it was the occasional glitch that websites have when being redirected to somewhere else.

@Tyranexx
Okay, thanks for letting me know. It sounds like you also have a plan for your current backlog as well. I also don't pick many games on day one, but sometimes I'll pick them up on day one.

@WaveWitch I love the PSVR (even if I do just play beat saber on it nowadays) although I've found the games to be quite hit and miss.
One of the worst was Quivr, picked it up as I enjoy archery and thought a fantasy VR version would be cool, but I was very wrong on that one lol.
Some of the platform games likes Moss, Ghost Giant and AstroBot have been the best examples of the tech and ones I've enjoyed most - which is weird as it's normally my least favourite genre.

@MarioLover92 sure. Remind me this weekend.

@Heavyarms55 Will do - have a good one.

Burger King just changed their logo. Any thoughts?

check here to see logos.

Looks like the just reverted to a previous one.

For some reason, all the burger kings closed down here. Well... In the nearest city that had any anyway.

Not sure what happened.

@Eel It's actually a redesigned version of the 1969 and 1994 BK logos.

Huh, that's strange. When did they shut down?

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
I thought the logo that were using (until very recently) looked modern enough to not be seen as outdated. Honestly, I think their new logo is more outdated than their other logo ever thought of being, which kind of makes sense, as the "new" logo seems to be an update of a previous logo that hasn't been used since the mid-'90s.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Looks like the emo king, where is the king in the buger king its gone, Who aproved of the logo whoever did needs to get fired.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand dunno, when we went there last week, to take my brother to the airport, all four burger kings had been closed. Looks relatively recent.

@Blooper987 Haha, not to worry, because I actually agree and feel the same way, so you'll get no argument from me. If people on whatever side of whatever issue, be they politics, sports or video game platforms aren't able to discuss and make their points in a civil, thoughtful and intelligent manner, then I can't take any side seriously.

@ToadBrigade Yeah, very true. I just take it day by day now, and assess things as they come. The last 4 years have already shown that what most of us never saw coming or expected to happen, CAN actually happen. That's why I already compared it to a third rate soap opera.

@Tyranexx Same goes to you: fully agreed and not to worry, I wasn't about to start a political debate. Just had to get it off my chest, because it worries me, even from the distance where I'm at.

@theJGG Erm... No offense, but I'm afraid you've kind of got me at a loss here. Are you responding to an earlier comment of mine?

@SM3DASislit If you replace "internet" with "social media" then I wholeheartedly agree. Especially all the unofficial "news sources" on social media. Those particularly seem to have gained ground with these kinds of groups/fine individuals, instead of the ACTUAL, legitimate news channels, regardless of how left or right they are. It's indeed like the flat Earthers: no actual proof or legitimacy, but someone said something, and if it gets repeated often enough, then in their eyes, it becomes the truth.

Either way, all of you people are right: let's just drop the mic here. I just needed to vent, so it was actually meant as more of a solitary statement, not so much as a soap box item...

@SM3DASislit I always thought that the 1999 was outdated, so this new-ish logo actually looks modern-ish to me.

@Snatcher 1. Burger King has always sucked.
2. I like the new logo and branding honestly. It's definitely better than most rebrandings these days.

@Eel Huh that's strange. Might be because of the pandemic or revenue issues.

What the hell...

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Ah, yes. That one. Typical Danish potty humor. Basically translates to "John the Willy Man", or any other childish synonym for that particular male body part...

It was on the news here as well.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand probably revenue issues due to the pandemic!

@Eel could you do my favor ?

Even i have ignored WahooTime, he still kept mocking every single my comments i posted. I knew he still keep doing that by checking his avatar appeared on Discussion threads. I saw him just know after i gave some suggestion for Grey Joy Cons replacement thread.
He came only to mock my comments when he saw i have posted something on articles or discussion threads.
Even another moderator Matthew010 have ever warned him to not keep mocking me.
WahooTime needs another warning to stay away from me.
Sorry if i have to ask you to do my favor. 😣

@MarioLover92 Sorry you lost it, it sounds like a cool little LCD Game Boy. This talk of LCD games reminds me of something I use to have as a kid, but don't have it anymore. It was an old Super Mario World watch, with four red buttons, and it could play an LCD version of Super Mario World. Even had a nifty set of bleeps that sounded like the game's theme.
