Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@tekoii Thanks! Would be cool to play Mario Party Superstars with you guys when that comes out, too. It looked really good from the E3 Direct, pretty sure we'll get more info about it on the next Direct video.

I love Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed as well, I have it on Wii U and PC. Team Sonic Racing is pretty good too, but Transformed is the better game by a long shot. I do really like Smash Bros. as well, love how many of my favorite characters/series are all in one game. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Sonic, Mega Man - it's absolute heaven...though I do need to get better at Smash sometime. lol

@MarioLover92 I'd be so down for some Mario Party Superstars!!
Actually, I'm gonna be releasing my video 6 on Youtube on Friday, Sept 24.

I want to organize a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Tournament that people can hop in and play.

Wanna come through? If anyone else wants to join, everyone is welcome to come and play! Just let me know and I'll start by adding you on Switch !

Ahh and nice, you have All-Stars Racing Transformed too huh. I need to still unlock so much stuff in it still, but jeez what a game. I wish it would come to Switch darn it. D: Also, I'm pretty ready for this upcoming direct ! Smash is the best <3

@tekoii
Oh, you played Portal Knights too. 😀
I played Portal Knights PS4 & Switch version but recently i played the PS4 version more than Switch version as Switch version was running in 30 fps + choppier graphics while the PS4 version was running in 60 fps and better graphics.
Also, i started playing Portal Knights PS4 version in June 2017 by renting at my game shop owner place (i asked permission to use his PS4 machine to play my purchased PS4 games at his shop as he has a big HDTV and PS4 machine for him to play when there was no customer or there was a customer want to setting up PS4 / Switch machine after purchasing machines from his shop).
Back in year 2017, i had negative sentiment with PS4 for too many adult games before i realized there were some games that actually made me ate my word for making a prejudice assumption before getting know about PS4 games library that i can pick. I was temptated to consider PS4 after i saw FF XII TZA get released on PS4 from playasia and The Sims 4 on PS4 made me speechless like OMG... The Sims 4 on consoles ?! 😲😀

I bought PS4 Slim White machine on 1 April 2018 (i choose April as it sounds associated with number 4 from PS4) and started to build more games library during late 2019 as i discovered more games for kids and casual gamers during twilight age of PS4.

About Portal Knights, i have played 245 + hours for Switch version but 75+ hours for PS4 version as i played the Switch version first by my own Nintendo Switch before i got PS4 machine 2 months later after i got the Switch version. I played as a Ranger with Giant Bow as i like long ranged weapons as i didn't really like to have close combat with Melee weapons as i like to attack the enemies from faraway (sniper) or from behind (backstabber). The addition with new Jobs, new planets and played as Fur folks were really great but i still haven't purchased the DLC yet as i still prioritize to build my other games library first before i find a chance to purchase the DLC.
Portal Knights, The Sims 4 & Dragon Quest Builders 2 are my Holy Trinity of PS4 games as three of them are my AAA games with score between 90 - 100 (Portal Knights = 92, The Sims 4 PS4 = 95, Dragon Quest Builders 2 = 96) and all of them are my best building sim games.

I wish there is another game like Portal Knights / Dragon Quest Builders 2 in the future.

@tekoii Thanks for the link! I may grab the Monado pin. Normally I try to stay off of sites like Etsy due to how addictive they can be, but I'm thinking of making an exception. XD

@MarioLover92 In a sense I understand why they might limit coins obtained from physical carts since they can be bought secondhand well within a year, but I thought the "within a year after release" cap was pushing it enough lol. It kinda hurts those like yours truly who prefer to buy many of their games on sale. At least gold coins last a year, up from six months previously. The eShop discounts are welcome, though I don't accumulate coins very fast lol.

On the trip: thanks! Leaving Friday afternoon, should get back Monday afternoon/evening. I'm traveling with my mom to a wedding a couple of states away, then we're visiting another group of people we know on the way back.

@ogo79 I'd assume because it isn't as commonly eaten these days...at least where I happen to live lol. I normally limit processed meat, but some of these recipes are crazy enough that I wanna try a couple of them out.

@BruceCM I actually just found a really good side quest involving Dana. Currently hacking my way through the dimension(s) contained in The Great Tree.

@Tyranexx For sure man! If you do, lmk how it is... I really wanna get it eventually.

I really wanted this Metroid tee shirt until I realized it's 27$

I see why you do... there are so many cool things. If I didn't have this level of self control, uy lol.

@Anti-Matter Wait there's DLC for Portal Knights!? o.o I remember getting relatively far in the game too, or so i think. It was a lot of fun from what I played of it. I didn't get to get a pet yet xD. I need to get back to that game, and get way back into Terraria.

Btw ever play the PS1 rpgs: Legend of Legaia, and Legend of Dragoon?

@tekoii
There are a lot of DLC for Portal Knights, both Free DLC and paid DLC.
There is a paid DLC cost $10 for new job, new planet, new objects, new blocks, play as Anthro furry.

For RPG PS1 games, i only played FF 8, FF 9, FF Tactics.

@Tyranexx theres a place over here that serves some nice rice in a big bowl with fried spam and pineapple

Getting nearer, @Tyranexx ....

I drew two birds: Blue Jay and White Dove for drawing lesson this week.

Will we ever see retro consoles that play CDs? Like ps1, ps2, gamecube?

@Anti-Matter I used to have a Bluejay call for my ring tone.😁 Now it's a katydid insect sound. https://orthsoc.org/sina/media/141ss1.mp3

@WoomyNNYes "Will we ever see retro consoles that play CDs? Like ps1, ps2, gamecube?"

I hope not I think it is too taxing on the hardware. The current disc based consoles are ok with the disc spinning only when installing and on the game startup. Also it eliminates the disc drive noise

@WoomyNNYes
"Will we ever see retro consoles that play CDs? Like ps1, ps2, gamecube?"

I don't think it will be happen very soon.
But PS2 machine can play both PS2 & PS1 games with same region.
And for Gamecube, you can pick Wii machine to play both Wii and Gamecube games.

The Blue Jay that I drew was a normal bird before I evolved him into Anthromorphic Blue Jay.

He is Jayden the Blue Jay, a 17 years old Senior High School student grade 11.

BTW, I saw some users that I put them in Ignore list ganged up to despise my unpopular opinion about crossover from other franchises.
I mean come on...
Peoples always have different interest, different life experiences, different reaction toward something. There is always a one people who have completely different interest, it was like I am a (A ∩ B )' from Venn diagram.
I have explained the reasons behind it politely, didn't even attack someone but it seems it just a boomerang for me.
Well, I don't need to listen from those peoples.
The dogs bark and the caravan goes by.
I must have tough skin to deal with that situation.

@Anti-Matter You are right about needing thick skin. It is essential for everyone to have that nowadays.

But many people respond negatively to you because they think you "insult" the franchises they love. I know it is silly but would you like if people post how they do not like girlie games and how they are for "babies" etc.?

Nobody wins in those situations.

@Anti-Matter Look dude, I think I should say sorry, bc it is your opinion after all, and you did post it in the unpopular opinion thread, So I think it was quite rude for me to attack it like that, and for that I'm sorry, If you can forgive me is up to you.

@Snatcher
That's okay. ☺
I didn't mean to create arguments from my unpopular opinion since I have explained the reasons behind it politely.

@tekoii That'd be cool to have a MK8D tournament. Not sure if everyone in this thread would be up for it or if we're all gonna be busy, but if I have the time I'd be down for it. I played S&ASRT quite a bit on Wii U back when it came out, so I'm pretty sure I have more stuff unlocked on that. The PC version is better though, since it runs at a smoother framerate. I didn't have too much issues with the Wii U version though, aside from that one time where it froze on me.

Just wanted to ask you. How is Halo: TMCC on Steam? I did hear you need to have an Xbox Live account to play it, or something like that. I never got an Xbox One, but I have been wanting to play it for quite some time. Plus if I'm playing something like Doom, Portal, or Half-Life, I prefer using a keyboard and mouse. So that's another reason why I'd want to play it on PC.

@Tyranexx Ah yeah, that's a good point you brought up, if they're being bought used or whatever. Yeah, it kind of stings to have to redeem them within the first year they come out. I tried getting the gold coins from Fire Emblem: Three Houses (I got that as a Christmas present last year), but it wouldn't let me.

That's cool. Always nice to see family and friends. I saw that Etsy comment you made, there's one thing I got from there and it's a picture frame that has a scene from Super Mario All-Stars, when Mario finishes a level. Everything's on different layers, which gives it that 3D look.

I thought this was interesting.

Select any place in the US and see the path water takes to the ocean. Unfortunately, the site is only for the US, which is kind of dumb, I wanted to see where water drains in Canada & Mexico.

I know I border on a few different watersheds, so I was curious to screw around with the site. Searched where water drained at previous places I lived, college, vacation spots, etc. I was surprised where water drained from the college I went to.

While "watching" a TV show tonight I decided to draw something. I called it Angel Tears ... because the angel is crying
