I have the V2 switch and I see no reason to do the upgrade personally. It's all a matter of preference though I guess.
Same here. I'm pleased there's a new model, but as I figured it's only a mid-life minor improvement. I'm fine with this and am not surprised; Nintendo wouldn't risk alienating sections of their fanbase with a major revision yet. Especially since the other two models are doing so well. I really don't understand why some are so bent out of shape about it; I think the new model is fine, but I'm satisfied with my V2 Switch and see no reason to upgrade right now. If my current system kicks the bucket, I'll likely get the OLED Switch. I play mostly docked anyway and don't mind the current screen size in handheld for most games.
Some people just buy way too much into rumors I guess. It's find to discuss them, but I never believe anything until it comes straight from the company in question.
@TheJGG I'm a sucker for some forms of sweets, so that new photo of the sticky toffee pudding is already better! Though while the previous photo didn't have as much visual appeal, I'm sure it was very delicious. I learned ages ago that presentation, when it comes to food, is onli part of the equation.
As for Bowling For Columbine...that's a documentary I haven't watched, but would like to. I was very young when it happened, so I don't recall any of the news coverage at the time. The first large-scale tragedy I remember knowing about as it happened...was 9/11. I have a curiosity related to school shootings, if only to ask...why did this happen?
Briefly on guns, as they're a touchy subject: they are easy to get depending on where you are, and regulations vary from state to state. It's harder to get them in my state than some others. First, someone needs to register to get a FOID card (Firearm Owners Identification), which involves a background check and other procedures. Processing can take 30-60 business days (though it has been a lot longer with the pandemic; there's a heck of a backlog). They do issue concealed carry permits, but open carry isn't allowed here. And I'm only discussing legal certification methods. Due to my upbringing and preferences, I certainly can understand both sides of the debate. It's something I'd love to discuss, but I feel like I'm poking the sleeping rule lion with a stick at this point.
@ThanosReXXX Digging that food pic by the way, though I'm usually not a picky eater.
Normally, I couldn't fall asleep in a movie theater either. I don't know if you've ever been to an IMAX movie theater, but they are very loud, and the seats tilt back to view a large, dome-like screen that takes up most of your vision. It wasn't very crowded. The fact that I even dozed off is proof of how dead I was! We'd traveled through the night, so naturally I was excited and couldn't sleep. I tried to sleep on the bus and plane, but it's very hard for me to sleep on transportation.
@Offolsense Nice to see you in the thread! This is where some of the cool kids hang out. I've been visiting the site since 2011 when I was digging for Skyward Sword news, but I finally signed up in 2015.
...I just realized it has been almost six years. O___O
@Offolsense Well for some users, like me, it’s basically our home on this site. It’s that good a thread, existing between all planes of existence… no harm sticking around!
@Offolsense This place is home for me, I was coming to this site since well not that long ago, 2018, and it looked like a pretty good place and well, a year later I joined, My life has been better since, and this place is like home to me.
Nintendo are like woman, You love them for whats on the inside, not the outside…you know what I mean! Luzlane best girl!

@ogo79 Ah, of course you already knew that video. What the hell was I thinking? My bad...
As for the "it's dangerous to go alone" pictures: I kinda imagine your hallway or your basement looking like that: the walls lined with boxes, filled with postal ordered skeleton toys...
Just to give you an idea, here's an example of one of my food pics:
Not saying it's to everyone's taste, but I dare to say that it sure looks colorful and inviting.
my room used to look like that when collected retro games lol
you cooked that?

As @ogo79 said, the SNS-RZ-USA is a prime giveaway that it's not a legit retail cart.
And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)
@Tyranexx Lesson learned, I’ll choose the images everyone likes before posting them! May have burnt your eyes off there… @ThanosReXXX feels the same I imagine, though he countered with some truly delectable food of his own.
Well I didn’t manage to finish it yesterday (since the TV playback expired, it was from last Tuesday) but through my own research and the first half of the documentary… the public blamed many things for this, except for themselves; which in actuality may have been the main factor. Excluding gun control, which is already a big factor:
Marilyn Manson, the rock singer, was interviewed for this show, and while I never heard of him and while he had the appearance of a gothic rock singer, he came across so well educated, so calm and collected, and assured. The things he said were borderline inspirational. When asked what he would say to any Columbine victim; he said: “I wouldn’t say anything, I would listen to them. Nobody else did.”
I also think DOOM had something to do with it. Harris and Klebold both compared the shooting (in video diaries) to playing DOOM. That connection is undeniable.
And finally, both were mentally ill even by 90s standards. One was clinically depressed and the other had sociopathic tendencies. How two mentally ill teens were able to walk in and buy guns without any background check (like there is now) or age restriction is beyond me. And some states have even lowered the age limit recently for carrying arms.
I’d want to go in more detail too; it’s a subject I’ve looked at from afar with skepticism and outrage that this is still a problem. But above everything I respect rules so I’ll leave it at this.
That's awesome guys, it's so cool to see how it's changed and evolved! Yeah man I'll hang around!
I've stepped away from posting the last few years but it's been nice to be involved more lately, instead of just reading the articles here.
@TheJGG My brother went to a Marilyn Manson concert a LONG time ago, and he returned home after only about 30 minutes. We were confused, as those usually last a few hours and he was extremely upset. He told us that right at the beginning of the concert, Manson, who was shirtless, broke a beer bottle and cut himself across his chest to get the crowd riled up. Unfortunately, he accidentally cut himself extremely deep, and they had to call paramedics because he started to bleed out. They cancelled the concert without refund!
@BloodNinja NORI NORI NORI by DOMINO (cover of Judy Crystal version) on this year 2021.
Eurobeat is still alive even already more than 20 years. 😀
The Para Para community out there was still exist even during pandemic.
I found a tribute video of Rhythm games with Para Para routine. Guess only people like us still got excited by Eurobeat music.
@BloodNinja God that’s rough. Goes to show that recklessness is not rewarded at all. I remember seeing a motorbike racer try and smash a champagne bottle on the podium after a race, probably because of a trend. He cut his hand open and got 20 stitches. Sorry to hear that…
@Anti-Matter Loving the Final Fantasy-like logo on the booth right corner.
@TheJGG
I made Final Fantasy esque logo of Warner Bros started from year 2005 (Warner Bros V) until year 2011 (Warner Bros XI: Anniversary).
The color schemes based on actual Final Fantasy logo.
It was my design practice before i created my original logo on year 2014. 😅
During year 2011, i have ever make Warner Bros 1 - 4 logo based on FF 1 - 4 logo but i never printed them.
I will post the other Warner Bros desk calendars until 2011 after this post.
