Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Eel I think we all have those moments sometimes. I had one a few months ago where I was trying to find a charging cable for my old tablet and while I was looking for it I found my old video game & TGC collection in the cellar.

A bit OT though: have we heard anything new of OMORI? It was said to be released early/Spring 2022 but it's been silent, hasn't it?

@Eel It happens waay to often for me lol.

Oh man, NS Sports is great. I started my legendary sporting career by getting six consecutive strikes, and I’ve honestly had the most fun I’ve had this week by just playing online with other humans. They’re smarter than the AI opponents by a long way; I got about 140 points in bowing in one game to like, 75 for the highest AI opponent, then in an online match I won about 230-200. The competition is intense. But it’s so much fun.

Having said that hopefully more sports are added in future apart from Golf. The game has so much potential.

Regarding trying to find something that seems to no longer exist: I thought I lost my phone once. Couldn't find it anywhere. Tried calling it from another phone, knowing I'll hear that ring somewhere. ...nothing but silence...., and I knew my ringer was on. That thing just VANISHED. Turned out, my dad picked it up, put it in his pocket before going to run an errand. Even after I suspected what happened, I called my phone more, for like an hour, hoping my dad would hear MY ring. Turns out, he left it in his car that whole time I was calling it. Ever since, if I'm around my dad, I do not leave my phone out in any common areas.

The worst vanishing act for me, was when the vanishing object happened to be my DS game case with all my favorite DS games.

I found it eventually, several months later. Behind a closet/bookshelf.

And that’s why I have two copies of Pokémon White 2.

That is currently happening to me...

@Eel That happened alot to me.during the GBA era. I was constantly moving during that time and I didn't have a great place to store my GBA games so I would also.be rebuying GBA games only to find them a few months later when I was moving again.

I still never found my copy of Final Fantasy VI Advance or MK Super Circuit but other like Aria of Sorrow I had two copies of.

Would it be ok for me to do a giveaway on here? Just asking first.. (so I will know to do or not do it)

@Tasuki oof gba and game boy games. During that era I was the kid that would take every game everywhere, even school, so I lost many of those.

I’ve been rebuying a few of them over the years.

@Kermit1 hope you find whatever you’re looking for faster than I did 😩

about giveaways I don’t think that’s allowed in the forums.

@Eel LOL that was my brother with the Game Gear. We lost so many games that way but then we also would have games that we never bought ourselves.

@Eel I'll probably find it soon looking for something else. Ya I was just asking about giveaways anyway because I have a copy of Pingu: Sekai de Ichiban Genki na Penguin (no box) and no gameboy to play it on...

@Kermit1 I would advice you to keep it. Maybe sell it instead so you get something out of it.

No need to give it away to a random stranger in a forum you just joined.

@Eel Yea I was thinking that, I probably will sell it since I'm not getting a gameboy (anytime soon) and from what I can find it's a very hard to find game...

(Does anyone know a good place to sell old games that's not ebay)

@Anti-Matter It's on Steam? In that case, I'll look into the game. If it's for me, I'll add it to my wishlist to pick it up at some point. Though it sounds like it can be graphically demanding, at least where my current laptop is concerned.

@MarioLover92 Good eye! She's Emmy Altava from Professor Layton, specifically the prequel trilogy (Last Specter/Spectre's Call, Miracle Mask, and Azran Legacy). She's one of my favorite characters. I decided to retire Adol for now, but I'll likely re-use that avatar at some point. I wanted a change and decided on her since I started Azran Legacy this weekend.

Ah! I had an inkling you'd mentioned playing the Gen 3 games before, but I wasn't entirely sure. Drill Dozer was an odd dose of nostalgia because of them despite the fact I'd never played the original GBA release. I normally play off-TV when it comes to GBA titles on Wii U. Being able to view the original manuals is a nice touch and one that I wish more retro offerings had.

@Tasuki Good luck! I've never been a DM, but I do quite enjoy the game. I'm starting to miss D&D; our Tyranny of Dragons campaign is on hold until our DM finishes up some demanding college courses over the next couple of weeks. I suspect we'll try to meet next weekend, but I won't be available due to other commitments.

@BruceCM Thanks for the link! Downloading it now. I'd like not being tethered to Steam for this one lol.

@Tyranexx Is that someone from Professor Layton? I'm so used to your Ys pfp that I was genuinely caught off guard XD

@Tyranexx Love the new PFP!

@Fizza, @Snatcher Thanks! It's Emmy Altava from Professor Layton. I wanted a bit of a change, but I'll likely bring Adol back at some point.

@Tyranexx Do hey have those games on the switch or are they still stuck on the 3ds?

I pulled out Takeshi & Hiroshi from my backlog to finish it... Chapter 7 IS EVIL, and back to the backlog it goes.

@Snatcher The only Layton game that migrated from the 3DS to the Switch is Katrielle and the Millionaires' Conspiracy. The rest are still stuck on DS (first four), 3DS (Miracle Mask, Azran Legacy, Millionaires' Conspiracy), and mobile (All the DS entries I think). Unfortunately, with the state Level-5 is in outside of Japan right now, I'm not too confident the others will migrate over either.
