Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Okay, this might be a this or that post. But the ultimate question

@Kermit1
Root beer is the only soda I drink. If either company doesn’t make it I am indifferent. Although both companies I would rather not support.

@Sunsy Ah yeah that's cool. We pretty much started using Windows at different points in our lives then. When we first had our Windows 95 PC, a couple of the first games I played on it included Monster Truck Madness and Microsoft Arcade, the latter of which having Atari's arcade games from back in the 80s. We had a Windows 95 companion disc too, I do remember that it had a Pac-Man demo in it. I think we had a golf game for it too, though I can't remember the name of it for the life of me. And of course, I had Sonic CD for the PC, though that was after I got Sonic Mega Collection. So, like 5 years later.

I definitely remember Real Player, I think my dad would play music or those downloaded music videos on it. He'd also download unreleased tunes, IIRC. I'd play flash games way back in the day too, there were a couple of Digimon flash games that I tried out as a child. I know there was at least one Sonic flash game that I played too.

@Tyranexx That's awesome to hear! Yeah, I'm starting to think that the Ninja Gaiden games are somewhat harder than the Castlevania games, I did make a decent amount of progress in Castlevania I. I've played Super Castlevania IV as well, and I think I'd agree with you right there. Simon controls really well in that game, too. I never even touched Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. And yeah, I heard it's excruciatingly difficult! I did play Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Sega Genesis Mini, and while I did beat the first level, I could never beat the second.

Coca-Cola, @Kermit1 .... They presumably knew they had to delay Splatoon 3 before allowing XC3 to release sooner, @Tyranex! I pre-ordered Live A Live physical from Game, since I had enough reward points to pay for that, lol I have one of their 'gift cards' from my last few trade-ins that will have enough for XC3 but I'm moving soon, so I'll pre-order that when I do so

@Link-Hero Let's agree to disagree

Got my third COVID shot about an hour ago. Felt a very strange pulse and bump as soon as the needle hit, and people noticed some bleeding!

I’m expecting to be bedridden for the next two days but who knows anymore…

I'm not really an expert on amiibo, @Fizza .... But most of them work with plenty of different games! Here's a link I found for 'Mario Odyssey amiibo' https://amiibo.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Mario_Odyssey Maybe others here know more about options for buying them, though

@Fizza https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nintendo-Amiibo-Mario-Wedding-Outf...

EBay is your cheapest option.

Just got back from watching Turning Red and it was fantastic! Such a relaxing and fun movie!

I love forums, too bad they've died down...

This forum is amazing so friendly, and helpful. And for a first-timer it's great! ❤

I've just started up Octo Expansion there today, got 15 tests done already. For a quick first impressions: I've never been more humbled in my entire life. I thought I was decent at Splatoon and that Octo Expansion wouldn't be that hard. DON'T MAKE MY MISTAKES IN UNDERESTIMATING IT. Still fantastic though like oh my god it's so GOOD.

@1UP_MARIO Super Mario Marryme?
@TheJGG ok. its everyones own choice to do so.
@Kermit1 ah allright. lets fight (just kidding )

@Zuljaras ok... so do we agree?? hehe - I got a story of female voice director who (after 10 years) called me a stalker. I did a animation 10 years ago and she said afterwords (also on TV) that I was a "great talent!". After that, i send her some messages (I agree that i send a bit too much messages.) I did some animation after 2012 btw (even now; there is something in the pipeline). But anyway, this year I got a Voice Over coaching over Zoom in America who did a lot of cartoons in Holland. He called her and she said "O that boy!" He is a Stalker!" - pretty smart for someone I havent seen for about 10 years (!). In the message she also revealed that I "wasn't as good" as she said on TV. Allright. So I got hyped for a message , which was a lie 10 year ago, and after 10 years people are still calling me a stalker (havent seen or spoken the director ever since).

Eh. Ok. Well, luckily I got called by another studio who thought I was worth something

@Fizza Just wait until you get to "the dog" one...

@chapu2006 T-there's a dog?

@Fizza Yes and no. You'll know it when you see it.

@reporterdavid I really despise how industries work sometimes. They can cancel you (or at least try) just from an unconfirmed information. Like in your case. Overreactive people are the worst

@Kermit1 I believe he’s mentioned it in a different thread, two characters

@chapu2006 I think I just played the stage you were talking about (Matchmaker Station is what it was called) and.... was it meant to be hard? I mean I did die like twice but that was just accidental trigger finger moments more than anything. I honestly really liked how zen and calm it felt, it was a nice change of pace from constantly fighting for my life.
