Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Tyranexx
I really hope Nintendo fix the Battle system for Miitopia HD as only my first Mii that can take direct command while other Miis just randomly perform their commands.
I always nervous everytime i bring Tank or Chef jobs on battlefield as Chef can randomly cook the spicy food to make other Mii throw their Fire breath toward enemy and ruin the relationship or Tank can randomly use other Mii as their projectile ammo and ruin the relationship too.
I want a direct control for every Mii i played.
Their reaction can be randomly generated.

@Sunsy Well hopefully you enjoyed the Direct. I know I did!

Last time I had to watch something whilst eating dinner was when I saw the 25th Anniversary Phantom of the Opera, (streamed on YouTube) and just began eating a pizza. So of course I did the most sensible thing and let the pizza go cold. It was a great show.

@Tyranexx I hope they don't straight up 1080p60 the game and just leave it. I also hope they don't lock content behind amiibo, because only a small amount of people would be able to access it.

I love Skyward Sword deeply, and while I understand peoples' complaints about motion controls I think they're far too easily angered. For the most part the people in the live chat on YouTube, which I turned off before the Direct started, were ungrateful, spoilt and moronic. People need to keep their expectations realistic. Only two of my predictions came true (out of five) but I'm not even angry; we have Skyward Sword!

@Heavyarms55 Agree with everything. As much as I appreciate Sakurai's work to get all these fighters in, I prefer Xenoblade to Smash as well. It's not even because of the art styles, I like it for its stories, characters, worlds and gameplay. All three, actually. 1, X, 2, in that order from best to least best. Do wish we got some new Zelda games, it's been an awful few years without any 3D titles on Switch.

I know I'm doing what he wants (giving attention), but Anti's reaction is characteristically misguided. Oh my God, No More Heroes III is rated 18? Oh my god we can see Pyra's ankles? Oh no, the Solar System's getting destroyed! Oh no, we saw the Inkling's legs! Satanic! Get that outta my sight!

He probably liked the DC female Superhero game.

@Anti-Matter Relying on the live chat for games is like relying on Trump for COVID guidance. When half the people there just say things like "Dante for smash", "botw 2's not in this direct is trash" and "omg anime character again" that's a very easy red flag.

@Snatcher About Plants vs Zombies, it's by EA, who hate the Switch. Of course it'll look like someone regurgitated on the screen. As they say, t'sin the game.

@Eel Pyra and Mythra were probably fourth on my nonexistent list. I'm happy we got them though, because of the good music, some potential remixes, and the new Xenoblade exposure.

So @ThanosReXXX what were your impressions of the Direct?

@TheJGG
I don't even like DC superheroes, any Western superheroes.
My reaction was Blah when i saw it.
Btw, i have sharp instinct that told me to play the Direct again or quit watching the Direct for a while whenever i saw something not cartoonish, too dark theme, something Too Western, i will immediately quit watching for a while.
I watched the Direct from Youtube Nintendo Switch so i just pressed B button to quit and pressed A button to play the Direct again while i used my smartphone to watch over the live comments to tell the timing of what kind of games that being aired. I don't even need to know what titles are they, nor even care their existences, just skip them completely wait until it was already safe to watch again.
What i saw from my eyes it will be recorded in my brain permanently so i would better not seeing at all, know their names and their existences or it will only trigger my anger and disgust.

Anyway, i got something outside of Nintendo Direct, thanks to playasia.
I saw new Doraemon game on Switch, Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles Enhanced version on Switch & PS5.

There were some girly games on Switch i like.
I already have Pretty Princess Party, the other titles are in my shopping list are Model Debut Nicola, My Universe games by Microids, even i considered Miitopia as girly and quirky game.

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

The first one has fake mashed potatoes.

@Eel

Saga Frontier Remastered, Legend of Mana Remake, Skyward Sword & Triangle Strategy ..... Slightly disappointed SE forgot about Star Ocean Second Evolution R but hopefully that's on the way & they kindly did the others I hadn't asked for but will buy anyway

Maybe it is vanilla ice-cream You never know ...

With a topping of cookies and cream.

@ThanosReXXX That is great to know. I will continue to play it these days.

You can never have too much of Greek mythology!

@TheJGG Definitely did!

Cool, I'm guessing it was Andrew Lloyd Webber's channel? Asking because I remember he showed Cats last year on his channel for 24 hours, and tuning in (I've seen the show on broadway when I was a kid, late in its original run). Yeah, sometimes I do dinner and a movie with my mother. We did this the other night watching Disney's Cinderella.

@ogo79 Now I'm hungry. Looks so good.

Huh, I had notifications from 2 different people here, yet both times I clicked them I can't find them. Weird.

@ogo79 OMG I LOOOOOOOOVE country fried steak!

@Heavyarms55 Can confirm, I had the same problem too. I clicked on notifications and had to search for the posts.

FYI @TheJGG and @Snatcher, I saw your posts. Letting you two know since it didn't take me to said responses.

@Heavyarms55
Oh, i have replied to you this afternoon about a huge sale on Japanese 3DS eshop page up to 90% for Level-5 games, especially Yokai Watch games. The games tagged with 500 Yen price during the sale. The sale will be ended until 1 March 2021.

@Sunsy It was a charity fundraiser, from the channel “The Show Must Go On”. I don’t remember specifics, but that might have been ALW’s channel. It was open from October 9-11 2020, so for 48 hours one could view the whole 25th Anniversary production. I saw it with a friend over Zoom and we both enjoyed it.

I don’t watch much theatre, but when I do it’s darn good. A few weeks later I watched Les Misérables.

@Anti-Matter I never actually set up my Japanese 3DS with my Japanese Nintendo account. Lol

Thanks for the tip though

@TheJGG What's up with the whole "Pyra, 2017" byline?

I thought that the Direct was a solid one, with something for everyone. But, as I already predicted so correctly beforehand, the whiners came out in numbers in the chat, because of them stupidly believing in social media nonsense and rumors, once again, and then adding their own unfulfilled wish list to that, to be able to cross off even more titles that "Nintendo didn't show", and the "righteous" anger was complete. A bunch of f-ing morons, all of them, far as I'm concerned. Worthy of receiving a one-way ticket to Mars...

Anyway, scroll down a bit further to where I replied to Heavyarms55, otherwise I'd have to repeat myself twice about my further thoughts on the Direct...

@HotGoomba Ah, you poor thing...
Edge aka formerly known as Internet Explorer is still one of the least private and secure browsers, closely followed by Chrome, which is basically a tracking and advertising fest in and of itself.

Firefox on the other hand is completely mod-able, has many forks which are highly secure and dependable, such as the Tor browser, which for your information is often used by journalists, bloggers and other freedom fighters in countries that don't really invest very heavily in things like human rights and democracy...

So, in short: Firefox for the world!

@Heavyarms55 I watched the Direct live as it happened, seeing as it was aired at 2300h over here, so it was a convenient time slot for me. I thought it was a solid Direct, and there were some things that really interested me, such as the Mario Golf game, the Project Triangle Strategy (working title^TM) game and even though I haven't really spent a lot of time in previous Splatoon games, I thought that was a welcome announcement as well. And I liked a couple of the in between indie announcements as well. Too many of them passed by, so I forgot the names of most of them.

Guess I have to re-watch the Direct at some point.

And of course Skyward Sword HD. I was one of the people that actually always liked that game. I still own the limited edition, with the gold colored Wiimote+ and the concert CD:

On a side note: you had better just ignore Anti, where it concerns things like these, because logic just doesn't apply. He has this weird, tunnel-visioned notion about games and game types (and them supposedly being 18+ even when they're clearly not) and none of us is going to change his mind or views about them. And believe me: I've most definitely tried, because it annoys me to no end...

@ogo79 What guy, what legend?
Those foody pics look like something that you'd possibly come across in a lunch room for dogs, by the way. It's all in the lighting, you see. Food photography isn't a profession for nothing, you know.

@Tyranexx Well, I've been raised properly, ma'am. Default respect mode for the ladies included, as well as never lifting a hand in any kind of offensive manner.

Now, having said that, a finger snap doesn't really count as lifting a hand in anger, right?

@Zuljaras That one can never have enough of Greek mythology is an ironclad truth, if ever there was one. As for the Direct: I think we've seen a different one than you...

All kidding aside, I suppose it wasn't as good for everyone as for some of us, but I also wouldn't call it bad. Around 30 titles were shown, in all kinds of game types, so by rights, there should be something there for everyone. But if your taste is a bit more specific, then I guess it wasn't more than average.

Personally, I went in with my expectations low, even though I would have LOVED to see another teaser trailer for Bayonetta 3 or Metroid Prime 4, and I came away pleasantly surprised with some of the announcements, so I was pretty content overall, even though I too definitely wasn't interested in everything they presented to us.

@ThanosReXXX You do realize that Internet Explorer and Edge are two different things, and Edge got upgraded to Chromium in 2019/20, making it more secure than Google Chrome (idk about Firefox, but would believe more secure than that too).

@HotGoomba Believe me: I know my browsers. Have to be able to use and know about all of them, due to my work in IT-related sales & marketing. Don't believe the hype: Chromium is NOT that secure at all. Maybe more secure than Chrome in its original version, but that really isn't saying very much either. Heck, Safari is even more secure, but I don't like Apple computers...

And yeah, because of the aforementioned, I obviously know that Internet Explorer is not exactly the same as Edge, but one IS an evolution of the other, albeit based upon another core design. Still not as secure as Firefox or any of its other forks, though. And the one I linked to, the Tor browser, is most definitely one of the most safest and most private browsers on the planet.
