Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Just watch it in the morning instead.

@Anti-Matter There's an indie direct? I looked at Nintendo Life's home page and I didn't see anything regarding an Indie World showcase.

Anyway, I will have to agree with @Eel. If the livestream just so happens to be live while you're sleeping, don't sweat it. Sleep is really, really important - you gotta listen to your body. I'm positive it'll still be up once you find a good time to watch it.

@MarioLover92 At 3pm ET Nintendolife will live stream their own indie-direct-like live stream called Indie Spotlight. They did this before, I think it was in september. At some point here today, NL will post an article placeholder will have the link to the live stream, and NL will have the live chat running for NL users. Here's the announcement from yesterday. https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2022/04/nintendo-lifes-indi...

@Cybergirl At some point in the next two hours, nintendolife will have an article post on their news page which will contain the Indie Spotlight live stream with a live chat for nintendolife users -you may see a couple Chit Chat thread users in the live chat.

As to whether the Indie Spotlight will be good, I guess we'll find out. It will probably be hosted/narrated by Alex Oleny, Zion, or Kate Gray. (see the link above for local times)

@WoomyNNYes Ohhhh, gotcha. Anti said "indie direct" in his post, so I thought he meant an Indie World stream from Nintendo themselves. I think I glanced at one of those things from the Nintendo Life home page, but I never watched it. I pretty much just go on NL's message boards to discuss games and stuff on this thread and others. I don't really go on their articles too much because of how toxic people can be.

@MarioLover92 While the comments for articles can be toxic, the live chat blog during a live stream is usually mostly NL regulars, and they haven't been toxic. (hopefully I havent' jinxed it)

@WoomyNNYes Ok, that's good at least. Doesn't seem to be the kind of livestream where they'd be like that. I pretty much just look forward to Nintendo Directs, and I'd keep the live comments off while I'm watching. I watch them on Nintendo's own YouTube channel.

....I now know why people were posting bowling pins online. Why are people like this.

I have woken up from my bedtime naturally at 1 am, without made grumpy like peoples on The Sims 1. 😃
Before that I slept at 10 pm and hopefully I woke up naturally before 2 am.
But I have to get sleep again immediately after watching Indie Direct. 🥱

@MarioLover92
Sorry for not replying you immediately.
I was sleeping at that time. 😴

Cool, I was wondering what it was, as well, since I would have seen any Direct announcement, @WoomyNNYes .... That's in 15 minutes, now? I'll check in on it at least

@WoomyNNYes how do you join in on the comments for the live stream? Or is it just on YT that you can do so and not on the site itself?

Articles about livestreams usually have a real time chat box, instead of a regular comments section.

I have watched the Direct.
Only one game (the last game shown) was quite intriguing for me, The Spirit & the Mouse.
I have to back to sleep again. 🥱

@NintendoByNature I've never watched from youtube. The live chat is likely swamped with random strangers on youtube (obviously). If you watch the live stream on NL, the chatbox there is NL users. It's often NL regulars in there. Kate Gray was in there today. It's over now. But you can see the NL chatbox if you open the link. About 30-40 minutes before they stream, NL posts an article for the live stream.

Busy past couple of days, hopefully tomorrow will be a fun break from it.

@Zuljaras Probably because they're games you consider to be favorites. BTW, the completed model looks great! Now I want to watch some TMNT, I think I have a DVD of the 80's cartoon somewhere, and the original movies.

@Cybergirl Sorry to hear you're going through all that. Hoping for the best and stay strong.

@MarioLover92 I heard of Crystal Caves, that's an Apogee game, they were big on the shareware model of the early-to-mid 90's. They were also known as 3D Realms. Never played any of those. Recently, I've been enjoying the Wing Commander games, and playing Bioforge again. Wing Commander is a space combat simulator, Bioforge is a cyberpunk themed adventure game where your character is a cyborg who needs to escape a planet, with stories presented by in-game logs.

I like Wing Commander Privateer the most of the WC games. I like being able to choose missions, earn upgrades to customize my ship, and travel the galaxy and visit other planets. It's like being part of the game's universe with my own spaceship.

Glad I'm not the only one who did that. I agree with both, Palmtree Panic present in the Japanese version is really a great tune.

I was perusing through my YT recommended when I noticed a video with a strangely familiar title. I click on it, and it ends up being a certain 'individual' who reacted to NLife's 6 Things Pokemon Vets Want in Scarlet/Violet list! (it's this one btw in case anyone was wondering: https://www.nintendolife.com/features/6-things-we-pokemon-vet...

I sat through the whole video and my takeaway is: poor bloody Lowell. The dude made some of the most reasonable, fair and non-controversial points for this kind of topic and the Youtuber in question absolutely crucified him for no reason whatsoever, saying he's hacked in Pokemon so his points about wanting more challenging side content are worthless (with no knowledge of the writer in question mind you) and just generally insulted his taste and skill in Pokemon games and even his writing.

I'm not gonna name the guy or link the video since he's a clout chaser through and through, but, if you've been around Pokemon on YT, you can probably guess who it is based on what I've just said.

Also, he mentioned your comment on that article as well @Browny which I thought was interesting at least.

@Fizza
I'm genuinely curious as to this video now. I don't follow any Pokemon YT channels as I find content on the series uninteresting, so I wouldn't know where to begin looking.

@Blooper987 You said you did a nichijou pixel art right? Did you happen to put it on reddit?

@Browny Just search up 'pokemon veteran wants' and it'll come up. Don't say I didn't warn you though: it's bad.

@Snatcher https://www.reddit.com/r/Nichijou/comments/tvrrx7/both_nichij...

Here's a link to a post someone made. Pretty happy with how it turned out
