@Kermit1
Get well soon.

@Fizza haha basically just just need to press select to bring up the map at the same time as link beings transitioning to the next screen, the game will load the next screen, but maintain links position on the screen, so you end up opposite of where you’d normally be.

It’s important to make sure there’s open space for link to be in, since he will get stuck on any walls or trees.

Notable uses for it would be leaving Mabe village without a sword (though you’ll eventually need to go fetch it), getting the slime key early, extending your date with Marin, and getting the boomerang earlier than intended.

@Zuljaras Ya, I'm not too worried right now. Right now it feels like a small common cold. (I'll survive)

@Eel This is what I had in mind for the cartridge! Keep in mind that Doomguy is only primed.

You can see the eyeball, guts, arm and the BFG + the super shotgun below as well!

From one part of the cartridge there will be blood and from the other a spine coming out

Looking good so far, @Zuljaras .... Is it going to be the one where they had green blood because it was too realistic otherwise?

@BruceCM No no ... full on red blood ofc!

Lol, I thought you would, @Zuljaras .... Looking forward to seeing the finished piece

@Kermit1 Get well soon. Naturally that means you won't be getting vaccinated for a while but the more vaxxed up the better. Rest up!

@Fizza Aha! Someone with taste! I love those videos. The sheer absurdity of the speedruns made me laugh, and then I realised those tricks are real!

@Zuljaras that’s really detailed! Even in shadow mode it looks cool already.

Found a rather cool game I didn't know existed today. I was browsing Wii U eShop games and learned a Dungeons & Dragons game was released on Wii U, on sale, so I bought it. Specifically, Chronicles of Mystara. I dabbled with Eye of the Beholder when GOG gave it away years ago and liked it, so I checked it out. Friend and I played online and beat Shadow Over Mystara in one go.

Anyone else get surprised whenever they find a game they didn't know existed on Wii U, or on any console or PC?

@Snatcher Indeed, combine that by using F.lux on my PC in the evening, and it's so easy on my eyes. No really, using that program helped me sleep better at night, since I tend to use my PC in the evening. Just need to quit out of it before gaming as some online games use anti-cheat software, and the program has an overlay of sorts (in event anti-cheat mistakes it for a cheat, even though it's not).

@Tyranexx Funny part is, before buying it from GOG in 2015 (I remember getting it when The Force Awakens was new), last time I played it before then was 1998 on a Mac. Ah, the one button mouse, had to use the keyboard for the second button.

@Kermit1 Get well soon!

@Marioman2022 I really don't want to derail the "This or That" thread, but I couldn't resist answering "Dreamworks or Illumination? (Animation Companies)," but missed it because I was cooking dinner.

I would pick DreamWorks because I love the Trolls series, and as @HotGoomba mentioned, I like the Kung Fu Panda trilogy (actually, I have Po in Brawlhalla).

Really wanted to answer this one, so answering it here to not derail the thread.

Holy hell! That looks awesome!

"Anyone else get surprised whenever they find a game they didn't know existed on Wii U, or on any console?"

I oftenly found never knew before games from Japanese NDS and PS2 games, usually the shovel wares that have interesting ideas.

@Anti-Matter I can't believe you still have a winter themed Jayden avatar. 🤔🙃Although, I guess it's always turning winter somewhere, my childhood friend in Bueno Aires, Argentina is heading into winter.

@WoomyNNYes
Oh, my Jayden (Jayden Snowfield) was a Winter Boxer, was born in 2 February, initial age = 26 years old. He has natural ability to stay in cold place with bare chested.
I have two Jayden from my design.
Jayden Snowfield as from my avatar currently and the other is Jayden the Blue Jay (from Sky Boxing).

@Snatcher IT ... IS ... DONE!!!

I was out jogging in the quiet of nature and let out a "holy SH1TT!", when I almost stepped on a squooshy stick. garter snake, 2.5 ft long/0.76m

@Zuljaras Excellent use of the cut Doom cartrdige.

@Zuljaras 👏 it honestly looks amazing, and it’s such a great way to repurpose your old cartridge… I think it’s now worth way more than the cartridge pre-cut!

@WoomyNNYes Glad to hear you didn’t step on the squishy stick, that would’ve been a tragedy. It’s a really pretty one!

@WoomyNNYes @Eel Thank you so much!

@WoomyNNYes We don't even have wild snakes here in Ireland yet I feel as though I'm going to keep an eye on my feet the next time I go for a walk. For.... precaution's sake, you know?

When they don't cause irreparable harm to your nervous system though, I'm a big fan of snakes. I remember going to a wildlife park when I was younger with my sisters and there was an exhibit where you could have a corn snake slither around your neck. My sisters nearly fainted when they saw it but I gave it a go and loved it. Probably wouldn't get one as a pet (have you SEEN the amount of stuff they shed?) but I still hold an affinity for the animal.

@Anti-Matter Very awesome! It's always cool to find games that you not only knew existed on a console or PC, but trying new gameplay mechanics.

Though, maybe unpopular opinion, I dislike the term "shovelware," especially since it's sometime used for games people don't like. If I enjoy a game, I certainly wouldn't call it "shovelware."

@Zuljaras Game card got ripped and teared! Really detailed. Hope you got the damaged game card replaced.
