Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Snatcher Microsoft said day 1 of announcing backwards compatibility for XB1 back in 2015 that no Kinect games would be added (360 Kinect works differently to XB1 Kinect). There appears to be a similar situation with PSVR, namely that as far as we can tell PSVR games don't work with PSVR2.

@antimatter thanks for your tips about building games.

he said something about dragon quest builders where you can make your own village. thats cool (just hoping that the dragons dont destroy the village. I love games where you can make your own village one block at a time, like these blocks

Does anyone know what time you can add funds on the 3DS eShop until? I know that function goes away today but is until 11:59PM in some time zone or what? I can just find a date…

You have a Switch as well, @BabyYoda71 .... I thought it shared funds with Wii U & 3DS? I'd assume it's until midnight local time but I'm not sure why you'd wait now

@BruceCM Yeah it doesn’t matter at all but I need to start at some point so I’m sort of using this as motivation lol. If it is shut down I’ll just add funds with my Switch, it’ll just take a few minutes longer.

@BruceCM I had the option to get a landline with my current ISP but declined; I have fairly decent reception where I currently live, plus it's just me. So kinda useless. Conversely, my parents need one since they live in the middle of the woods, so cell reception is fleeting. That's really the only reason why I still have Facebook, so that I can contact my mom through Messenger lol. And that's only if their internet even cooperates.

@Tasuki I hope your D&D session went well! My group finally met yesterday after a long hiatus. I went into some detail in the Tabletop Gaming thread.

@MarioLover92 Torna: The Golden Country is also a very good standalone game. It's hard to go wrong with either it or XC2 if someone has to pick between them. But if they're grabbing both, I definitely recommend playing XC2 first.

I like keeping a lookout for less common animals when I'm out on the trails. Squirrels, chipmunks, and many regular birds are a dime a dozen, but the fun ones for me are deer, stray pets (not common, but I've come across a couple of friendly ones), lizards, and snakes.

@cordova94 Seems as though I missed your update about the derecho. Those are unfortunately not too uncommon where I live (lower US Midwest) and can be nasty indeed. I hope everyone is well.

@Sunsy Back in the day, I used MS Paint for almost everything since everything else I knew of had to be paid for. I wish I'd known GIMP existed then. I was introduced to it by someone at my previous job. I just use the snipping tool + ye olde Google search for a lot of my avatars here, but I will rarely alter them slightly in...Paint. XD

@BabyYoda71 Only credit card payments are turning off on the US 3DS/Wii U eShops today at some point...not sure when. If you link your Switch account to the others, however, you should still be able to use funds that way. I prefer to use eShop cards anyway, so for now I'm safe.

I have been sick with covid for a day now ( think) this is day 2, and I feel great so far, my body hurts a bit, and my throat is sore, and I'm sleepy as all get out but its getting much better.

Thank god I got the full vaccine, i'm pretty sure its the only reason I'm feeling ok right now.

Also How has everyone day gone? I hope better then mine!

@Tyranexx I did too. I remember slowing the mouse down to its slowest speed to draw properly with a mouse. Just to make the pictures look nice. Though, I prefer traditional drawing by hand. I usually like looking up a picture of a character I like, and use that, I adjust it in GIMP. Sometimes, I'll get it from a YouTube clip, usually from an official clip or trailer (like the one I have now, it's from a Trolls World Tour clip Universal added to their channel).

@Snatcher Get well soon.

My day went ok. Did some chores, took a nap today (went to bed late last night), and watched the first Trolls movie this evening.

@Sunsy It just sucks because my younger brother is the only one who hasn’t gotten it yet and is sick,I worry, I hope everything is alright in the end.

@Tyranexx Yeah it went really well. Yesterday was alot of Roleplaying more then anything as they just got back into town after a job. They needed to sell off a few things that they found and replenish supplies that sort of thing. Then they had a night in the local tavern where the groups Fighter nearly had his arm broken in an arm wrestling match, he rolled a 1. The fighter also manged to find himself a nice silvered maul too. But everyone had a great time.

@Snatcher That's the way I felt (but my throat cleared up by day 2)

Get well soon!

@Kermit1 @Sunsy Thank you guys, I feel better already. Every gots it, and my young brother is on the really young side, I don't think I have to worry about it, thank you guys so much for making me feel better.

@Snatcher I hope this makes you feel better.

I feel a lot better after looking at this lol

@Kermit1 How long did you pay him to stare at me?

@Snatcher I found it ^ssshhh, $800 CAD

@Snatcher Ayayayay.... that sounds rough. Get well soon, hopefully that's as bad as it gets.

Luckily we're not living in fear of it anymore. Nowadays it's more like a mild inconvenience for most people.

@TheJGG Thank you. Pretty sure that as bad as it’s gonna get, seeing as how on near the end of the day and I’m starting to feel great!

I agree with you with the inconvenience, not something I’m gonna have too really fear about after this, again, thank you.

Yeah, I won't be having a landline with my broadband, @Tyranexx .... & I use Google Chat to video call parents sometimes, although I had plenty of call time on my plan before & now it's unlimited
Get well soon, @Snatcher!

Sonic is out today and paramount gets it own network here in Holland. Hm.

Also, a while ago, I did the NTV (nintendo) webshow (its not sponsored by anything) but thinking about reviving it better now.

My PS4 games collection so far with 32 games.

Just only kids games, with a few Teen games (The Sims 4, FF XII TZA, Dragon Quest Heroes 1, Big Rumble Creed, Autobahn Police Simulator 2).
