Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@TheJGG My drive to my grandparents was 12.5 hours, but that's in the US, so no country borders to mess with. But man, it's a long one. So, what will you be doing there, visiting people, seeing something, work, delivering a single piece of mail, or are you just in it for the love of border crossings?

@WoomyNNYes Well I mentioned we were going through Saudi to get to Jordan. All the driving means we can hit multiple destinations and control the pace, but obviously we’re a bit stuck if any borders close. We’d just ditch the car in that case.

So to answer; seeing something!

@Tyranexx Yeah you're welcome! Glad to know that your sister's excited. Thanks - the program I used for C++ coding was Visual Studio 2015, and I still have it. Never took any classes for C#, but I did see a YouTube video on how to make C# programs. I dabbled with that language for a bit on VS, IIRC it looked similar to visual basic in that you'd program a whole application with buttons, text boxes, and the like. Yeah, I did hear good things about GMS2, I'd love to start using it like next year or so. I would like a tutorial of some kind, of course. No worries on taking a while to respond. Have a safe, healthy, and wonderful Christmas/holiday in advance. (Same goes to everyone who reads this!)

@MarioLover92 GMS2 is amazing indeed! Its language is very close to Java Script.

@TheJGG Aw ): It wasn't even fun to see the sights after all that? bummer, I hope it gets better from here!

I own it now. The world is a better place

@Zuljaras Oh that's really good to hear! I have taken a java programming class back in college.

I don't really get the people who want a new switch model right now, given that there's a massive shortage of Semi-conductors, and there's no sign of it letting up. It's gotten so bad that some companies are selling graphics cards that were made 6 years ago. MMO's like Final Fantasy XIV can't upgrade servers to allow more people to play at one time, and the PS5 and Series X constantly have stock problems (Same with the switches). This gen will probably last the longest, given the fact that Nintendo probably won't be able to produce any new hardware for a while. At least until the Crypto trend dies, and graphics cards can be produced in full again.

I got the switch lite pictured in my avatar for christmas in 2019. Im hoping to get a normal switch or oled someday. I had one as one of my wish list items for this year. Im actually having christmas early this year on Sunday the 19th because my stepmom is going to be gone for the holidays. Im going with my real mom on Christmas Day.

@VoidofLight People really do seem to think that if we get a new switch model, it will Some how, Be so much better graphic wise, and i'm not saying that can't happen, because it can, its just, yall will just find something else to complain about.

@Snatcher People will end up complaining that it'll end up not being 4K. Personally, I'm hoping the next model/next gen console will end up being a while, given that I can't really get ahold of a new console at the moment, and scalping would be awful if Nintendo did somehow get the parts needed.

It's all because of the darn COVID situation that companies are having issues. hopefully in 2022 and beyond things will start to get better.

@Atomic77 Given that the shortage with the conductors isn't just COVID related, I doubt it's going to get much better any time soon. The shortage is partially because of COVID, but mostly because of Bitcoin Miners who are trying to get ahold of the cards in order to destroy them for more Bitcoin.

Um...
I have question about Nintendo Switch machine.
My Switch was still making noisy fan sound even it got repaired by applied with new thermal paste.
I'm afraid the noisy fan sound will damage my Switch gradually.
Was it the fan problem or something ?

If you are a programmer you will have no issues at all. But Java is close to C#. Java Script is different in many ways

I say that if I, a 100% non-programmer, could write code in GML than anyone could do it!

@Anti-Matter My launch-day switch has made this sound in handheld mode for a minute or so after booting up Splatoon 2 & Rocket League with wifi on. Is this the sound? I don't know if it's actually bad, or just a minor annoyance. My console is almost 5 years old, and in the past year, the fan sound has gotten a bit louder, and may be lasting longer, which has made me nervous.

I got a white OLED for myself a week ago as a replacement. I'm waiting until christmas to open it.

@WoomyNNYes
My Switch was making noisy fan sound in both handheld and docked mode.
I found my Switch made noisy fan sound since after i got ACNH DLC.
But sometimes it didn't make noisy fan sound when being handheld mode.
My Switch is almost 4 years old (i bought on 24 December 2017)

@Anti-Matter So, does your fan sound like mine, in the video I posted above? You may have to turn the volume up to hear it.

I want to share a leaked scenes from the Sonic 2 movie!

Here is the actor taking a bath and also eating treats in it!

@WoomyNNYes
Yup.
As loud as from your video.
