Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I don't see people talk about racing each other here, as odd as that may sound. Someone made a thread & nintendolife tournament for mario kart 8 (switch), and I raced them maybe two different days. I thought plenty of people would get on board and add the tournament code to their list of tournaments. But it seems almost nobody added the tournament code to their game. And, every time I've checked in the past 10 months, it's been empty. The tournament name is "NLife Community", code: 5031-0097-8731

Recently, I've been playing no-items(weapons) tournaments. Even those are tough to rely on, because they are often empty. I have about 4-5 no-weapons tournaments on file that I check. (I really wish Nintendo would add a dedicated no-weapons race mode so we didn't have to depending on spotty tournaments.)

A problme I had here was, people added me with my Switch friend code but, never said who they are in the forum. So, it was a bunch of stranger/usernames. My nintendolife signature said "Say hi if you add me, so I know who you are.😉". Nobody said anything here. Maybe one of 30 identified themselves. It was shocking. So, I stopped accepting adds. Maybe it was all shy kids? Or people that aren't regulars? I don't know.

Most of the regulars here that I'm friendly with all have different tastes in games, and schedules never mesh. Partly my fault, since I don't frequently play MK8. I used to play a ton back in 2017-2018. For the past year I've mainly played Rocket League. Before that, I mainly played Splatoon 2.

@Anti-Matter Oh ok then I think were good, The yo-kai is Pallysol, I think he looks cool, never got to play a yo-kai watch game but I love the design.

@TheJGG Do you have MK8 skillz? I'm not insane S tier fast, or anything, but I can do ok. (300 hours (I'm not proud of the number of hours)).

@Snatcher
Oh, Pallysol.

At the same time i'm playing Yokai Watch 3 Tempura right now so i think i will hunt them since they can be fused into new Yokai.
I will find right time to draw Pallysol or Scarasol.

@WoomyNNYes I sometimes play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online. Not often, but I do play it on occasion. Would be cool to play matches with you sometime.

@MarioLover92 @WoomyNNYes I would be up for making a room some time, we would have to find a good number of people for a whole mach tho. I'm close to 100% this game, I'm not that good at it, But I did play alot on wii and 3ds.

@TheJGG Yeah haha I feel like it would be fun having a few active users here in a voice chat or something and just playing games lol. I'd imagine time zones would be an issue from time to time though.

Lmao that was most definitely me at a point in time xD
I think when I joined I sent friend requests to so many people on the forums without ever actually telling anyone (idk why... I guess I thought I'd just be in and out but it turned out I really enjoy this community lol)

@Snatcher Hey I'm no good either but it would still be good fun xD

So do any of you guys talk to each other outside of the site? like on discord or something?

I talk to my dogs

@Snatcher Yeah, that would be ideal. The other thing we could do is join a friend who's currently in a worldwide room.

@MarioLover92 Or that.

@MarioLover92 @Snatcher I would be down if we did it when I'm not at work

@Vortexeo A couple of users on this site, but not on a discord or nothing, some people here actually just know each other.

You gotta get those three star ranks on all cups so you get three stars next to your username when you race online. Pure street cred.

I race to win but, I don't always think it's fun have too big a lead. Sometimes, if I, or my brother, ever get too big of a lead in any racing game, we try to hide somewhere and wait for the other catch up, or get close, then take off again.🤪 It's funnier that way. I guess we rubber band ourselves, but with hiding, if possible. Even if you can't hide, sometimes it's fun to let the other catch up, and take off again.

@Blooper987 Yeah, we've all got busy lives ahead of us, including yours truly. lol

@WoomyNNYes Pretty sure they got rid of the star ranking next to our usernames in Mario Kart 8. There's still star rankings you could get in the normal Grand Prix races, but they aren't displayed in online races.

@Snatcher ahhh yeah...that's understandable lol

What!?😠😠😠
Holy, cr4p, you're right!
Guess I was thinking of Mario Kart 7. My mind is blown. Well, anyway, thanks for pointing that out!

What a fool that Woomy guy is, three posts above. Glad I'm not that guy. ....Weird, his avatar kinda looks like mine. What a coincidence. XD

@WoomyNNYes Yeah you're welcome! It was a bit surprising to see that it's gone after playing Mario Kart Wii and 7. I remember it took me a good while to finally get that 3-star rank in MKW.

Yay...! 😀
