Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Just picked up some Pokemon cards from Smyths, specifically a Pikachu V Box and another random pack to round it out to a neat 5 packs total. I was getting a new screen protector for my Switch anyway when I noticed the €6 taxation on delivery and thought 'eh, why not get something with it to negate it'. Considering I ended up tallying it to €35, I'll let you be the judge of that.

The reason I ended up going for it instead of something like LEGO is due to me finding a binder full of all my good cards: reverse holos, promos, chase cards like V's, EX's and GX's (GX's are best btw) and the crowning jewel of them all: the money cards. Well, not necessarily money cards but the ones that are both rare and incredible to look at, like an Amazing Rare Kyogre, a BUNCH of shiny cards, an alt art Dragonite V and my two favourites: Shiny Centiskorch VMAX and alt art Blaziken VMAX.

LOOK AT THIS MIGHTY CHICKEN. BASK IN IT'S GLORY.

@Eel I don't know, that just doesn't make sense if you can't do mod stuff then how can you be a mod. Obviously you can't tell us but I guess at least it's less work for you guys.

@BruceCM As a matter of fact... yes? I got LEGO Star Wars yesterday on Switch... it could be a mistake. In retrospect it wouldn't have hurt getting it on PS5, but it is what it is.

I did start playing Metroid: Dread though. It's so well designed, and a pretty challenging game too. Can't wait for the rest of the year, it's going to be fireworks.

@Sunsy Gotcha. Sounds like you'll still be residing at your current place then.

Yeah, my Windows PC just has one profile, which is my own - it solely belongs to me after all! Oh that sounds cool, I didn't use Macs too much so I didn't really know that.

Same here on futuristic and sci-fi designs. It's partly why I like stuff like F-Zero, Metroid, Mega Man, and the like.

@TheJGG Metroid Dread is such a good game. I think it rivals the best of the Metroid series in general, I liked it as much as Super Metroid, if not more so. It is quite challenging for sure.

@MarioLover92 It’s not the easy ride I thought it would be. The EMMI zones in particular were an unexpected challenge, and I’ve gotten caught so many times. I’ve just destroyed the third EMMI and it was brutal. The sheer speed of that thing caught me out many times.

Luckily NL’s guides stopped me from getting lost, however.

@TheJGG I got caught by the EMMIs many times as well...those guys are no joke. Every time they get me, I get more determined to beat them!

The emmis and the constant barrage of bosses make it a really challenging game.

House of the Dead ads seem to finally be gone.

Hey guys! I'm gonna play some MK8D at 9pm EDT.. if y'all wanna join I haven't gotten to try the new courses so hopefully we run into some of those online!

ALSO! On 3DS the game Rhythm Thief is on sale and it ends tomorrow!

@Sunsy Ahh nice nice! Awh that's great, glad y'all had a good time with both your birthday and the ole outtings and what not. AY! IO is awesome, I have a weird build where I speed up the movement of those I heal lol. Be cool if we play sometime, though I'm not sure how cross plat goes with it. Yea... it's actually pretty fun surprisingly to play support champs in Paladins. Niice.. hopefully you'll be able to come thru and play with us later!

@MarioLover92 I think I'll be needing that luck more for the races against you guys 😭😭

@Tyranexx Lmao. Splendiferous quotes there.. Got me a good chuckle! Or hey maybe keep the windows open and be like hey live life like me Ahh that's great.. it would be nice for those to be on Switch but meh. But ohhh you are in for it! It'll be interesting hearing how your playthrough goes with the Forgotten Land!

@WoomyNNyes Hey man, I'm gonna be a racin' later on if you wanna come thru

And Viola! Here it is: My Mario Kart Thumbnail!

Also random tidbit... Kirby and the Forgotten Land is AMAZING. It has me wanting to get and play the rest of the Kirby games <3

@tekoii Are you setting up a room for people to join? If so, I'd be more than happy to pop in for half an hour give or take! If Toad Circuit comes up, you're going down.

EDIT: Sorry man, I would've loved to join, but 9pm EDT is 2am Irish time for me so unfortunately I'll have to back out on this one. If there's ever a time where the time suits me though, I'll be sure to pop in for a few races, you can count on that!

@Anti-Matter Sorry that happened to you man, maybe try bring it up in the 'Ideas for site' thread? Maybe something like a way to mute certain words from appearing and if an article were to have that word in the title or blurb it would simply not show up for you? That's my idea at least.

@Fizza Lmao! Oh noooo... I'm in trouble now xD. Not really sure how to do it tbh, hoo boy. Kinda just went in last time with MarioLover92... though I think there's a kind of join players or something like that. I'll add you, what's your friend code??

@tekoii Sorry, I just edited my post there to say that it would be 2am when that happens for me so I can't make it this time around. So sorry for this, but I'll be there 100% when the time suits me! (it's not your fault btw, I just happen to live on the other side of the world XD)

@Fizza Ahh no worries! We'll find sometime in the future to get some races in. I'd still like to add ya on switch tho

@tekoii I personally like to keep my FC a secret so I don't end up having dozens of friend requests lined up, but if I ever manage to get something like Discord or find a way to send it without anyone else knowing what it is then I'll be more than ok doing it!

@Fizza Ahh okay..I respect that. The same reason I don't just advertise mine as well. But yea we'll figure it out at some point 😌!

@Fizza I have never seen article that is in any way offensive or plain wrong here on NL. That seems like individual problem that is easily solved by 2 things:
1. Growing a pair.
2. Stop visiting the site.

Also this banning articles thing has been brought up 100 times already by the same individual. It will never be done This is a gaming site not 3+ rated site.

That least I hope that it is

Guys the game Rhythm Thief for 3DS which is a bit hard to find, is on sale till tomorrow!

@tekoii
I wish Yokai Watch 3 on eshop got price cut (normal price was still $39.99) since the game was not really selling good in physical release (the physical release was very rare to be founded). If Nintendo really want to provide some reprint of hard to find 3DS games before 3DS eshop get shut down, I really hope Yokai Watch 3 USA or PAL version will get some reprint.

@Anti-Matter Yea.. generally it'd be nice if Nintendo just announces more sales this year as it's the 3DS final year online There's no way I'll be able to afford or even play everything I want but there are some standout games I really need to play. Kid Icarus Uprising looks phenomenal. Starfox 64 3D looks cool, despite playing the original I am blown away by the trailer on the shop, looks great. Kirby Triple Deluxe and Robobot are needs also xD. Plenty of other stuff.. gotta make a list of at least several of the top games I want. Man.. I hope that game get's a sale so you can get it

@tekoii I'll see you at 9 pm! Can't wait to play MK8D with you again.
