Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Got shot #2 of moderna vaccine friday evening. Shot-giver person said you 12 hours after the shot, you're likely to feel flu-like symptoms. In my case, they were right. Crazy headache, sore neck, and exhausted af, and my shoulder feels like a proper bruise. Felt like sh*t today, slept a good deal of the day.

Watched Moneyball (the movie). pretty good.
Watched Transformers The Last Knight on demand. Didn't expect to like that, but it was ok. Stopped it half way into the movie. When I went to resume the movie, it only played from the start, and you can't fast forward --- stupid. Guess I'm not going to see the second half. What a bunch of baloney.

I'm sorry to see Northwind got sucked into unpleasantness here. It's been a while since someone pushed my buttons. I've gotten better at not bringing ego to NL.(still not perfect, though.)

I saw this Star Trek Next Gen episode for the first time a couple weeks ago. Seeing @ogo79 communicate with animated gifs reminded me of how the Tamarian's speak in metaphorical imagery only XD (this isn't a put down, just seemed funny to me) This episode was weird, but strangely good.

@ogo79 My eyes uncovered!!!<33

@WoomyNNYes Bumble bee is the best Transformers movie, trust me, they give them there nice sheen, and there OG looks.

I swear if NL ends up making another amiibo article for Skyward Sword, I might just Blow up LOL.

But really, why are they not doing anything about to comments? there always quick to shut down stuff like this if it gets to heated but Lord, its toxic as hell in there and they wont drain the gas, I might just delete my comment as I don't want anything to do with that article anymore, It is really making me think they did it just to piss us off.

@ThanosReXXX Oh ya, what happen'd to Anti? I haven't seen him at all, and if he did say what happen'd then I missed it, I wanted to talk to him but I just haven't seen the guy.

Edit: with all the comments I have been posting I might as well make a wall at this point.

I can't recall exactly what we were talking about a guide for, @Tyranexx.... Walkthroughs & so on I check sometimes do seem to try to keep spoilers down, though
FFIX still looks very good & I'm sure you'd like that one!

I love how @Link-Hero returned from a similarly long hiatus for that godly roast.

@Link-Hero Dang may first, ya that might be somethin.
@TheJGG I love it here LOL.

@Link-Hero In any case welcome back! Glad you’re feeling alright now, or at least good enough to roast Anti rare. Anyhow, how excited are you for E3? Seems that’s the only gaming thing to look forward to now..

@Snatcher I've no idea, man. I actually asked @bimmy-lee a couple of pages ago, because I know they message each other off-site sometimes, so if anyone knows, it's him. Probably. But he hasn't replied to me yet. Maybe he missed my question because we were in the middle of a martial arts topic discussion and my question about Anti was added as a side note. Perhaps this reminder will do the trick...

@TheJGG Is to why I don't know why people want to get rid of E3, thank about it, we got rid of E3 and now game company's do nothing but shadow drops, there would be no news to look forward to.

Finished the sculpture!

Now I need to finish my painting and we are done for the contest!

Done a few games now on this new rig. I am very impressed.

Doom Eternal at max settings, 4k at 60fps.
Fortnite at 1440p with DLSS, max settings and raytracing (no global illumination) at 60fps.

Fall Guys Max settings 60fps.

Well worth the cash for this. Have to check thermals next.

@Zuljaras Very nice! I also really like how you made it seem like it's actually floating, so well done.
The only niggle I have, and it's actually both a question and the tiniest of niggles, is that if you used the sprite as an inspiration, then why did you mirror it and why did you not copy the position of the scythe?

Other than that, an amazing piece of work, once again. Be sure to let us know what the competition results are, if you end up getting a prize.

On a side note: how's your city doing? Or were you actually already finished with that and have I somehow missed it?

@ThanosReXXX Thanks! I really did not want to copy the pose. Maybe I should have

As for the Heroes 2 Necro town. I did all the buildings and left it like that. I will need much more clay and I will restock next month.

As for the contest it ends on July 22 and the winners will be known on the 25th.

I really do NOT think I will win anything but even a honorable mention will make me happy!

It would’ve also looked cool with a super-sized sickle. Though that would probably be harder. With the weight and stuff.

@Zuljaras Ah, I see. Well, no rush, and glad I didn't miss any of it.
Some patience needed for that contest, I suppose then. But a bit more confidence in your own skills would really not be misplaced. Obviously, I have no idea what other entries there are or how skilled they end up being, but still.

@Haruki_NLI You can check those thermals alright, but the more important question (obviously) is:
can it run Crysis Remastered?

@WoomyNNYes Hope you get to feeling better soon! I was expecting Moderna shot 2 to kick me in the rear for a couple days, but the most I had was a little arm soreness at the injection site and some mild fatigue. I figured I'd end up like my mother; she had a fever and chills from it for a couple of days and was achy on and off for several days after.

@BruceCM I thought we were discussing Fire Emblem Three Houses, but we have been slinging a lot of game names around! I'm sure I'll enjoy FF IX when I do eventually pick it up.

To quote Kimi Raikkonen, f*cking finally. I’m getting my Coronavirus vaccine tomorrow... I know some people here have gotten it so I’m expecting to miss a whole day with flu symptoms.
