Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Happens to me whenever I go between xbox and switch.

Also, after playing Skyward Sword, it took some time for my brain to get used to the fact that other games don't require me to hold the L button to activate the free camera.

@Tyranexx Ahh okay those points are certainly fair, especially on that one about private abuse. Coming from the site admin is pretty direct. I guess there's always many sides to things. Simple in the Complex. Complex in the Simple. Yea, everyone here has been super cool about everything Ohh and yea I've seen some scary comments here and there xD. Ah okay, you are female. I understand, I can refer to you properly (ex: she said this, she did that).

@Tyranexx I hope I'm not rude by saying this, But I was sure you were female but I wasn't to sure, cuz there was that one time I said dude and thanos said you are not male, But I wasn't sure if you were non bi or Female, I wanted to ask but I thought that might be rude and kinda prying a little bit, so I just said they, Glad I know now. I really hope I don't come off as rude.

its definitely an obsession.
funny you bring up games, i wanted to make a beat em up game with every character in the game from heroes to enemies skeletons. every charter a skeleton. and drop and pick up weapons galore. all kinda weapons. i can dream

Glad you liked it, @Tyranexx .... What's next, then?

Good day.

@Tyranexx Wow… it’s been a very busy week. I needed it, especially after a very lazy few months off. Lots to share though. I’ve now become absolutely dominated by music lately. I can’t stop thinking about it. I read to it, write to it, and probably will end up gaming to it. Specifically two groups that’re completely up my alley yet took me this long to listen to for the first time of my own volition; The Avalanches, and CHVRCHES. Both have the kind of sound I would absolutely kill for; electronic, with great physical or digital percussion, solid bass, plus songs with great vocals, something that is just so hard to get right. Three songs I’d recommend… “Running Red Lights”, and “The Divine Chord” by the former and “How Not to Drown” by the latter. The first has some… really great vocals by Rivers Cuomo from Weezer, and the last one has a guest appearance by Robert Smith from The Cure. Art at its absolute finest, and the Avalanches’ album sounds like it could be played in a journey through space.

Before holiday I haven’t been on a plane in a year, almost, so the entire feeling was so new… because of how suppressed it was in my mind. My usual bank of entertainment on flights consists of either films, a music player (like a mobile phone), or my Switch. Or I could sleep, that’s all but guaranteed when I go aboard a night flight. Sometimes I’d listen to an audiobook, and accidentally miss three chapters because at some point I take a two hour nap. Ah well, unless it’s a novel as complex as Game of Thrones it didn’t cost me too much in the end.

I took the opportunity to work on it yesterday for an hour. Adding the necessary buildup towards Melia’s character reveal’s been fun so far, especially writing Alvis. For Alvis I didn’t deviate from his original lines yet but I have a good idea of how I could execute his voice. I ended up using the word “dryly” a fair bit actually, because that’s exactly what his voice sounds like. I think the difference with an original work and an adaptation is that you have a solid reference for landscape, character physical traits, voice, and more.

I realised giving too much detail will somewhat harm it but… ah well. It’s a fun ride so far and with a growing cast there’s lots to cover. Problem is I have a bit of a short memory so I almost forgot the whole process behind the “Shulk has no taste” scene. It was mostly about adding detail, thought and emotion to each scene instead of expanding on it, though making the dialogue more human is also a strong priority. I’m no expert on the characters at all but I may as well try to be. It’s been fun, especially to unwind.

To be honest I’ve spent so much time on my PS consoles lately that it’s been weird thinking about Nintendo. For the first time I really do feel like Sony have an upper hand, at least as of today, since there’s no knowing what the competition could reveal. I saw the PS5 showcase this morning and there’s some absolutely serious games coming in time; namely GT7, Horizon Forbidden West, God of War: Ragnarök (though I personally have little interest in it), a remake of Knights of the Old Republic, a remaster of Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy, a sequel to Marvel’s Spider-Man, and so much more. I’m feeling excited for the next eighteen months, and I imagine people who have the console and have been waiting for new games will be satisfied.

I haven’t played Last of Us: Part II but I do think Ghost would deserve Game of the Year over that; though I don’t think the gap’s overwhelming, it may as well be between a coin flip. Naughty Dog had from my view a very brutal, gritty storytelling method, something that inevitably ticked off some fans. This doesn’t automatically make it bad, this isn’t about a happy ending from ND’s view. About telling a real story, more like. Having said that Ghost of Tsushima told a real story as well (two ways, it’s historically accurate plus it doesn’t feel fake), so… it’s up in the air. Do revisit Breath of the Wild in time, the DLC adds some pretty neat trials.

It’s a shame to delete games but even sillier is that whenever I have to download an update patch for some reason it demands I have 70-80GB free. Now that is just stupid. I really hope that… goes away because I was already at a limit with storage, at least at a point when it was fine. PS5’s discouraged me off buying physical games, because all of the games I have upgraded from PS4 are digital. Doesn’t matter in the end though, I’ll hopefully invest in a quality SSD to expand my storage with. I’ll be back after I stop being broke.

Madd random but this was super enjoyable:

@tekoii SMG4 did something just like that and did taunts irl as well. You should consider checking it out if you like it.

Beat SCU, Now time to get super sonic and 100%!

@chapu2006 Thanks man! I searched em up.. The one with the 75 character taunts was pretty dope (and funny lol).

Hey guys, I've mentioned I will be hosting my first Tournament to commemorate my Video 6 Youtube release.

@Tyranexx I'd honestly love that SM64 Lego set too. And thanks! I had a hard time picking between that and the Super Mario World frame at Etsy, perhaps I could get the SMW one next time. I might end up getting Mario Party Superstars as a Christmas present too. I plan on getting and playing Metroid Dread when it comes out. I want to try and beat it since I beat the other 2D games, and I don't want to see MD spoiled for me. lol

@tekoii I'll likely be able to join in. I'm assuming you'll record your MK8D footage for your YouTube channel?

@MarioLover92 Nice, thanks for joining in I'm not gonna record it, I just want to kind of celebrate releasing another video for my channel. Try to hop on Steam so I can hyu before the tourny. Also, @Snatcher is gonna join in on the tourny too :3.

I mean everyone is welcome and I'm sure it'll be fun lol. blue shell says hello lol

So, I beat Sonic Adventure DX tonight, playing it the first time in years. Played the original on Dreamcast and the GameCube remake years ago, considered it to be one of the best games I played then. Honestly (maybe an unpopular opinion because YouTube), I still consider to be one of the best games I've played. Only thing bad I found were the camera angles really.

More or less wanted to do this to have a save with all the levels unlocked on PC, ended up enjoying it again. I was playing Sonic Adventure on my PC instead of Dreamcast or GameCube.

@Eel Wow those are two different games on two different systems too.

@Snatcher Congrats, looks like I'm not the only one who beat a Sonic game.

@Sunsy Thank you, This is actually going to be the very first sonic game I 100% and S rank, The first one I 100% or got all the CE was sonic 4, ya ya I know LOL.

@tekoii Oh that reminds me, sorry I missed the mario kart thing today, I missed it, My bad. 😅

Just curious, have you ever get sleepy during playing video games ?
Sometimes when i played very long mission to finish like Skylanders games, there was at some point i want to pause the game for a moment as my eyes felt heavy to keep following the long paths to finish one mission.
And sometimes i have ever literally fallen asleep for several minutes during playing video games for very long process to finish one mission. 😪
And when i woke up, i found my back was really sweaty.

@Anti-Matter The game or the level has to be that boring for me to actually want to fall asleep.

There’s a few games that can make me feel sleepy without literally boring me in the traditional sense.

Pokémon Colosseum is one of those games. I like it a lot, but it lulls me.

@Snatcher No worries, you didn't miss it lol. It's gonna be on the Sept 24th
