@Blooper987 be confident, polite and tell the truth. It's easy to spot someone who's blagging their way through - if you are asked something you don't know, admit ypu don't know but say that you will strive to learn and use it for future development.
@theJGG I've had Persona 5 Royal and Horizon Zero Dawn on my radar for quite some time. I've also been wanting to play Final Fantasy VII Remake and Crash Bandicoot 4, as well. Thanks for the tip - I think I'll start out with the PS4 games, plus I'll already be set for PS5 games when I do get them.
I've been thinking about it for a bit, and I may end up getting a PS5 this holiday season. It kind of depends on how much 1st-party stuff the Switch is gonna get this year, because last year was pretty slow with some sudden game announcements thrown in. No, I'm never giving up Nintendo, that would be silly if I did. I just want more games to play, that's all. lol

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️
It's Amelia Watson. She's a vtuber, just like my old profile pic, Korone. She's basically what I would probably look like as an anime girl. She's one of my top role models for what I want to be like when I start a YouTube channel.
@Blooper987 I hadn't heard of her sorry, had a quick look and she seems cool so I will check some of her streams out later.
What sort of content are you thinking of creating for yoir channel - game streams?
@Mr-Fuggles777 Gaming streams, anime and game reviews, and some one off funny stuff. I would become a Vtuber, but it's like 250$ on fiverr to get someone to create an avater and finding out all the technological stuff would be a hassle. I've already planned out what my character would look like in my head though(and kinda on paper too). He would be part wolf with gray hair all sweeped to one side, with two different colored eyes. He would have a scar through his right eye and he would have a fur coat on. His name would be Kody Inume. I'll probably just end up making videos with no facecam or character at first though and see if I enjoy making content.
@Blooper987 why not start with a Twitch channel while you get the hang of running a stream, and then invest in the Fursona for a YouTube channel and start to grow it from there.
If you wanted a more varied content type (streams and normal videos), it would probably be better to have a YouTube channel instead, much more flexibility imo. If you started out primarily streaming, I guess twitch would be the better choice.
@Blooper987 First and foremost, just be yourself, don't over-sell it. Second: take a note pad with you, and either have questions prepared or write down stuff they tell you. Makes you look more interested and engaged.
Other than that, just relax and know that this is a two-way street: you're not going to an interrogation, they also need to sell their company to you. Besides you trying to sell yourself to them, it should also be the other way around: let them sell it to you. Why would you WANT to work there?
Ask about stuff like possibilities for personal growth, what exactly they're looking for (what was their reason to invite you? which of your qualities matched with their wishes for a candidate and so on). Let them talk, listen and use the answers to confirm what they think they could find in you, long as it is true, obviously. Or as long as you're sure you'll be able to meet those requirements in a reasonable amount of time.
Remember: they invited you, so they're already interested, you only need to confirm what they're hoping to find in you. All it takes is to confirm that and to be really interested in what they have to offer.
P.S.
If they're not willing to give clear answers, or if they are evading specific points/topics, then there's probably something they left out of the job profile, meaning it could be considerably less interesting than they made it out to be, in which case you might want to look further than this opportunity.
Personally, I also always go with my gut feeling: if the people and the company/surroundings feel good, then there's always a good chance that you'll be able to find yourself in a good place, regardless of whether or not it ticks all of the boxes on your wish list. If it doesn't feel good from the get go, then I'd say it's a definite no.
Good luck!
@MarioLover92 Yeah, I know all about the "Family Edition". More like the "Clueless Buyer" Edition...
I've soft-modded quite a few Wii's back in the day, even those ones, and even though it ultimately always worked out, I always found it rather stupid how they gimped those specific versions. (edit: they did not remove GameCube compatibility from those versions, by the way. They just removed the controller ports and memory card slots, but those Wii's can still natively play GameCube discs, because the motherboard and chip set is the same, which is why you can still softmod it to get that functionality out of it)
Well, at least you got one of the good versions, then.
@Blooper987 Ah, never mind. I see you already finished the interview. Good on you. Still: these rules always apply, so you'll still be able to keep them in mind for the next time you go to a job interview.

@ThanosReXXX thanks!😂 it was really weird cause it was online and it only took about 10 minutes. We basically just went down a list of questions for me and then I asked her a couple. I think I answered all the questions pretty well, but we’ll see if I hear back.
@MarioLover92 You don’t need to feel guilty about that at all. Take it from me, I still have tons of fun with the Switch despite putting in hours into some PS games. Persona 5 Royal is a must, that game is a classic on so many levels. Actually every game you mentioned is, so even better!
Glad you have a solid plan in place! Can’t wait to hear more about it!
@theJGG No I don't feel guilty about playing Switch games, I said that I'm wondering how much 1st-party games are coming out for Switch this year. As of now, Nintendo hasn't announced a whole lot for 2021 besides Super Mario 3D World, and we don't know when Breath of the Wild 2 and Metroid Prime 4 are coming out. They'll announce games this year for sure, we just don't know what they'll be at the moment.
I'll talk more about the PS5 once I get it, I'll keep you guys posted.

@NintendoByNature Hah, you like what you like! Some XC fans might consider that statement sacrilege - I thought XC:DE was one of the best JRPGs I've played in recent memory - but I can also support it as I'm also a diehard Zelda fan! We'll see if I agree when I get around to playing AoC. Hopefully the wait won't be as long as with BotW lol. I suspect I'll like it more than the original Hyrule Warriors since the story is canon this time around.
Incidentally, I raided the Yiga Hideout in BotW yesterday evening. I wasn't happy at the forced stealth and OHKs, but it was all worth it in the end. Though Master Kohga wasn't exactly what I was expecting, especially when some of the disguised Yiga travelers referred to him as "dreamy"....
@Anti-Matter I also like those CSI-inspired drawings! While the chibi forms are good, I think I prefer the realistic proportions in this case.
@theJGG I daresay one has no humor if they can't laugh at themselves at occasion, even if it is in hindsight.
@BruceCM If I recall, the count to max out all slots is 441 Korok seeds. I'm currently sitting at just over 300.
@ThanosReXXX Heck, that's a hard stop even when driving a vehicle! I'm glad the situation didn't end up worse.
The closest thing I've done to skiing is ice skate, which I know is far from a 1:1 comparison lol. That was only once at an indoor rink two hours away (part of a youth trip) many years ago. I had fun overall, but there were a lot of falls and some VERY sore legs at the end of the day. XD
@PokemonGirl99 That's completely up to you. As Eel suggested, you can also make a new Switch profile if you don't want to erase your old one.
@Tyranexx@Eel Yooo the shiny drought has ended! Over the weekend I nabbed 2 shiny Sneasel from the totally non community day, then on Monday I grabbed another shiny shadow Pinsir from James. Then today I caught a shiny Scrafty in a Raid in Pokemon Shield and then hatched a shiny Timburr from a 10km egg! It's been a good few days for shiny hunting! Also hatched a second Darumaka finally. One more and I can finally get a Darmanitan in Go. I'm enjoying this super boost to egg hatching!
Have you guys gotten anything nice lately?
