Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Note to self: When exercising, stay far away from the furniture. I now have a lovely gash on my left elbow. I'll be fine, but it definitely stings a bit and will likely earn a couple of awkward questions.

@ogo79 Do I like hamburgers?!?!?! HECK YES! They're heavenly sandwiches, though also something I don't eat TOO often.

@PokemonGirl99 I recommend a map, though that's up to you. It's impossible to do the Abyssal Ruins in one go in any case. Good luck!

@SM3DASislit Oh yes, WIW has an amazing moral lesson as well. Honestly I think even those who aren't into gaming or arcade machines can even hold a lot of appreciation for the movie.

I have seen (and love) The Nightmare Before Christmas, but I haven't seen the other two movies you mentioned. I love both the original The Lion King and The Lion King 2 films (The latter is how you do a sequel right), but 1 1/2 has evaded me. I also need to get around to watching The Lion Guard....

@ThanosReXXX I actually did consume hot chocolate that afternoon (I'd been outside, definitely needed it lol), so I think I'll use that in place of the coffee reference.

@Mr-Fuggles777 That. Sounds. Hilarious! XD Definitely something I'd do if I 1. Used Alexa and 2. Had another half who spooked easily....

Hopefully the fallout isn't too bad. I love setups like that. Technology geek aside, I like most scary things and harmless pranks. In non-plague times, I actually work in a local haunted house during October.

Apparently they're making a new lion king 2. Not sure if it's a remake of the original sequel, or if they'll make something original.

@Eel
Lion King 2 Live action for real ?? 😮

Yes, according to the internet.

It seems the director confirmed it in some interview. Though from what I could find it seems they plan to make something original, not an actual remake of the original sequel.

I've deleted like 5 different sentences based on being unable to properly explain how much I both love and hate the irony of saying this after making The Lion King 2019.

@Tyranexx Ouch. Sorry to hear. Anyway, I may check out Ralph Breaks the Internet one of these days. The most recent Disney movie I've seen was Frozen 2, which I enjoyed. I've also seen the live-action Beauty and the Beast (that was the only live-action remake I've seen), which was all right but I liked the animated one more. That one had a lot more charm compared to the live-action one, to me anyway!

Shifting gears a bit, what are your thoughts on Bowser's Fury in Super Mario 3D World? I think it looks awesome personally. Not sure if it'll go beyond that one world (it seems to be open-world unlike the original game) but I think I'll get enjoyment out of it. And I love SM3DW anyway, so there's that.

@MarioLover92 I'm a big fan of Super Mario 3D World, and for sure I'll buy the Switch port. It has some great music and some really fun levels, which are bite-sized, and perfect for Switch from a design point of view. I wasn't a very experienced gamer when I started playing 3D World back in 2013 but I think this time I could try and 100% the game.

I really like the new level designs and overall look for the stages, but one concern I have is how big is this expansion. Trying to put it into traditional Mario terms, like, the size of one world, isn't useful because of the new design style. But the new Bowser design looks positively terrifying, and Bowser Jr looks... intriguing, so I can't wait to try it out.

Side note: The two Frozen movies are among my favourite animated movies of all. They both have some absolutely heartwarming songs, that have the power to lift people up when they're down. The lyrics to some songs are really deep too. But I don't like Let it Go, it feels like an over-commercialised hit that, honestly, is a really simple song from a musical perspective. And Olaf is silly at best and obnoxiously pathetic at worst. But that's where my critique ends.The animation is amazing, and a joy to look at, especially with snow effects, ice effects, and that New England-esque golden forest look in the second movie. And some of the characters are among the most "human" characters I've seen in an animated film. And Anna's voice actor, Kristen Bell, is phenomenal!

Edit: @Tyranexx Get well soon, and you can never have too many burgers. Most divine food of all, excluding pizza, of course. I was born in Italy and have visited a bit, and they make some amazing pizzas. A few years back I was in NYC, and had an eighteen inch New York style pizza. It was far too big, so that kind of all-you-can-eat food is not for me.

For anyone who doesn’t want to watch Korone’s streams and hasn’t fallen under her leadership. I must say that many have joined her ever growing fan base. Just last year someone you all love succumb to her greatness.

@MarioLover92 I did not expect to be so wow'd with Bowser's Furry, but I am now extremely excited. Cannot wait. Probably won't get it day one, but I will get it by the third quarter of this year.

And Ralph Breaks the Internet is the most mixed movie I've ever seen. Sometimes I hated it, other times I loved it. If you can look past the cringe, it's a good movie, but the first movie is superior.

@ogo79 Awwww!! Its all of my favourite foods! Put that thing on top of a pizza and I'll eat all of that!

@HotGoomba___Rebrand
id hit it

im with you

@ogo79 every vegan’s worst nightmare

All that burger needs is a thick, juicy, delicious slice of pineapple.

That fixes everything.

@Blooper987 Well unlike the whole "furry" debacle I clicked on Grant Kirkhope's twitter, and then the Banjo-Kazooie Korone stream. Very interesting indeed.

@ThanosReXXX Funko Pops is probably the closest comparison I could make as well

Doing art for the likes is a no go. It is good for art to be liked but doing it for the attention is a bad habit.

Art shouldn't be commercialised. Example: Madarame from Persona 5. Initially he had true artistic vision but became distorted by vanity and gluttony. He even copied the infamous Sayuri painting hundreds of times, just for money and fame.

@theJGG I do not play Persona so could you explain that situation a little more to me, please?

Also fan art is kid of considered bad because people make it for the likes, subs and fame. Still it is awesome to see a new take on a classic game art or something like that.

Commercial art is also fine but sometimes it gets repetitive and that is a hole an artist must get out of.
