Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

something got jumbled up here, and said i posted something twice when i didnt so yer comment is not in order...not sure what happened

@ogo79
Pineapple on pizza actually tastes yummy.
A fusion of sweet, sour and savory flavors.
There is a Chinese cuisine Sweet and sour chicken with pineapple added.

of course thats good!
sweet and sour chicken with pineapple is one of my favorite dishes, and i may be eating that tonight again with fried rice and eggs rolls.
there was/is a thing called "sweet and sour delight" that consists of sweet and sour chicken, sweet and sour shrimp and sweet and sour pork, all mixed in, topped with sweet and sour sauce with pineapple and cherries on top.
best ever.

@ogo79 One. those skello muffins looks amazing, two. I could not agree with you more, that is such a cursed topping.

@ogo79 The only things left are:

• Painting the stand.
• Gluing the skeleton to it.
• Placing 3 layers of varnish on it.
• Baking it one last time to seal the varnish.

@Zuljaras incredible work. The detail is amazing. Love that shield.

I’m going to split this response into 2 posts, again.

I’m REALLY sorry about the delayed responses guys. Especially those of you who have been waiting for a while now. In case you’re wondering, I’m fine; I’ve just been busy recently.

I hope everyone is doing well.

@Snatcher
I’ve not worried about changing my profile pic. I’m just concerned that if I announce that if I announced that I changed my profile pic for a game that very few people would be interested in, that I might some interesting responses, if you get what I mean.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that Risk of Rain even existed, TBH. From what I remember, I believe the user that was asking Nintendo Life to write the Risk of Rain articles was being really aggressive/demanding about it, so I’ve always thought that Nintendo Life purposely didn’t write those articles because of how demanding that user was being with it, but that’s probably not the reason at all, just my guess. I’m not even sure if that user is even on here anymore.

@ThanosReXXX
Yes, I did mean amusing. Usually I do a good job of catching errors like that, but I typed it on my phone, so I'm more likely to not catch the errors on my phone, since it’s harder to see a long message on a phone than a PC.

To answer your previous post to me regarding asking Eel about the site rules: I feel like Eel is pretty busy as is, so I try not to summon him unless it’s something really important.

@MarioLover92
Yeah, I believe Disney used their “Vault” when they re-released their older movies. Now that Disney+ has been available for a while now, it seems like the “Vault” is starting to come to an end.

@Sunsy
Yeah, I tend to enjoy sports games that have more than one sport to them, like Mario & Sonic. I didn’t realize you liked Mario & Sonic so much. I also like Mario & Sonic a lot as well. As odd as it may sound, Mario & Sonic is actually a “dream franchise” of mine, if that makes sense.

I’m glad that you’re still enjoying Ninjala a year later. We seem to be the early adaptors of Ninjala here on Nintendo Life, but there seems to be more people slowly getting into Ninjala on here. I’m probably going to get the Ninjala Pass Mini as well, but we’ll see.

@SM3DASislit Yeah, phone/touch screen typing...
I know all about that, so don't get me started on that. Got kind of a love/hate relationship with that myself.

As for not wanting to "summon" @Eel: He usually hangs around here anyways, so I don't think that it would be too much of a hassle at all, and besides: he's a pretty relaxed person, so he probably isn't going to bite your head off if you want to ask him a simple question...

If I think the questions get annoying, I'll absolutely say so. Don't worry.

(What was the question?)

@Eel A question about site rules. I'll have to tag @SM3DAislit to help me remember which rule it actually concerned again.

@Eel Never mind, I already found it in his profile page:

Speaking of rules and whatnot, do you know if we're allowed to say that we made a thread on [insert topic here]. I don't believe it's against the site rules, but I just wanted to double-check. 🤔

And:

I actually was just thinking of saying that I made a topic on [insert topic here] but a link works even better though. That's why I wanted to ask, as I know that it might be considered advertising or begging, so that's why I wanted to check. Thanks for trying to answer my question, I really appreciate it.

Okay, I'll see what he has to say about it. I just figured I would you since you seem to be more knowledgeable with the rules, since you've been on here for a while.

If, for context, you want to read the entire comments/posts, it's #8 and #14 on this page, and specifically the parts directed at me.

Huh, didn’t we talk about that one already?

Anybody else have trouble watching game trailer videos on nintendo's website? There's heavy artifacting, or a mess of a picture. Using: firefox, PC. It isn't a new issue.

Here's a screenshot of video playing.

@Eel Possibly, I don't know. As you might guess from the second quote, I already advised him to ask you, and seeing as it is quite a while back already, I honestly wouldn't be able to tell.

But as you can also see, he mentioned it again to me, in his comment #53,664, so beats me...

@ThanosReXXX Didn't look at it that way to be honest. The penalty for Denmark was dubious at best, but they made it count in the end and football isn't entirely about skill, but taking opportunities as they come. The way they put the ball in after it got deflected was quite nice. But on the other hand Denmark scored an outrageous goal so it's more or less even... if that own goal didn't happen.

Whether they performed well or not so far consistently throughout (and believe me, Ukraine was probably all you could ask for as an England fan) they've made it to the finals for the first time in half a century. You weren't alive when that last happened, and for that matter neither was I. Regardless of how it turns out this is gonna be a historic day.

Of course... I hope England win.

Well I remember saying that it was ok to share links to other threads every now and then, as long as it doesn’t become the only thing they do here.

For example: why don’t you guys check out the current video game music tournament? It could use some extra sets of voting ears.

@TheJGG You're not the only one. 🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

@WoomyNNYes Well, that's... odd, to say the least. Can you put up the actual link to that video? I'll have a look-see if you do. I use Firefox as well, so should yield similar results, normally speaking, unless it's a "what version of Windows do you have?" kinda thing...

All kidding aside, could also be a combination of things, like used add-ons, version of Firefox (I'm using the ESR version, for example, v78.11.0) and so on, but let's start with sharing the link first, and then we'll go from there.

@Eel A game music tournament thread? Well, not really my thing, to be honest, but thanks for the suggestion anyway. I can definitely think of a couple of other people in here who would like to join, though. Or maybe just one...

@TheJGG Oh, no offense, but you don't have to tell me "how the ball rolls" for that matter. Football is my #1 sport besides martial arts, so I'm a staunch follower of both the national competition and international games, and not just EC's and WC's...

As for the WAY too easily granted penalty: in the future, I would vote for in-game penalties having to adhere to the EXACT same rules as after-game penalties: you get one shot, so if you miss, that's that. No rebounds, no second chances. Kane himself even admitted that it most definitely wasn't one of the best penalties he ever made.

And as mentioned to bimmy, I get the whole history thing and the perhaps greater importance of it for Britain as opposed to other countries, but my main thing (and what I expect) is fair play, REAL matches, FULL effort and entertainment value, and after the 1/8 finals, matches got progressively worse and worse, until we got to the "stale-matey" matches of the semi-final, with excruciatingly bad football, and only decisions by penalty or next to last minute decisions. Or "handed on a silver platter" ones, as was the case with the Brits.

I have family in Denmark as well, so part of my heart weeps, especially after what happened to Denmark in the first match, and how wonderfully they came back in the subsequent matches, which showed their viking strength and resolve. Sentiments aside, if we're only looking at what teams actually and truly deserved this, then the final match should have been between Spain and Denmark.

And Denmark's goal vs England was a deserved one as well, and a thing of pure beauty...
