Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

....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

@Blooper987 I saw it on there the other day, so I was wondering if it was yours, Happy I wasn't wrong.

@Fizza
You were right, bad takes all around. But it's always hard to discuss how to improve things we like when you act in bad faith.

Guy's a clown.

@Sunsy Gotcha, I tend to be busy as well. You deserve a break, especially with your birthday coming up!

I've heard of 3D Realms too, didn't they make Duke Nukem 3D back then? One of the guys I'm subscribed to on YouTube is a huge fan of the game. Never played Wing Commander, but I have heard of it on a few occasions. I feel like I've heard of Bioforge, too, sounds like something I'd dig.

Omg @Fizza I was just about to warn everyone not to look up where they came from, I’m so, so sorry you had to see that.

Edit: Omg that guy, that YouTuber, yeah that guy is not serious, pretty sure he is a troll and I’m sure you know he is known far and wide in the Pokémon community, he doesn’t like anything, hates everything, just everything about it is just troll.

I can’t stand him, and I knew just who you where talking about without ever having to see the video.

@MarioLover92 Yeah, it's tomorrow.

Yup, they did make Duke Nukem 3D. I think I know the guy on YouTube you're talking about, is it LGR? I always watch his videos, he does a lot of retro PC games and retro PC stuff, and tries to play Duke Nukem 3D on just about everything, lol. I started with Wing Commander when playing Armada out of curiosity, and just got into it from there. I think LGR did a video on Bioforge.

@Snatcher I should have waited to see the warning, it's on right now.

@Sunsy Lol, you saying that actually just reminded me, I didn’t say what to not look up.

If you see a png with bowling pins with eyes, don’t look up or watch said clip, trust me, your going to have to wash your eyes out.

Just my luck a YouTuber I liked just posted the thing if full with no warning, so lucky me.
