Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Sunsy No need to be sorry at all, that’s an equally good way to watch films, simply for the enjoyment they give. That’s what movies are meant to do after all.

You could really make an argument for both; but at the end of the day it comes down to how we define film today. Digital streaming’s really muddled the picture (intended) but now it feels like the majority of films are made for a cinema, instead of all of them.

YAY FINALLY I GOT THE RIGHT CABLE TO PUT SCREENSHOTS ON TO MY PC!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Sunsy Alright, always great playing with you Oh that's actually pretty hype, especially with that cross-music-ing from Switch and PC.

@Tyranexx Yea, you're in for a treat. Vesperia is pretty light hearted at times with plenty of jokes and meme-able moments lol. Sheesh. Just so many games to play lol. I also wanna play the Megaman Zero games. I just got Bioshock the Collection for free on EPIC, so that too ><! I do feel like though that, the XC series is getting that big push and highlight right now, here's and cheers to hoping!

Also, later at 7pm EDT we'll be playing some MK8D if you wanna join just lmk!

@TheJGG I can agree with that, especially since a lot of movies are pretty much made in HD. Streaming often has to rely on Internet connections, which sometimes results in a not so great picture. I remember watching Smurfs: The Lost Village years ago when Netflix had it, and it somehow looked worse than the DVD copy I have. Don't think it was my Internet, since the Internet I have is pretty good.

Will admit, I am really hoping to see Trolls 3 on the big screen. Not only because Trolls World Tour got its theatrical release cancelled in favor for streaming, but after watching the first on Blu-Ray (saw it originally on DVD, got the Blu-Ray after getting a Blu-Ray player), I loved all the little details the movie had. I can only imagine how it looks on the big screen.

Funnily enough, I did buy Guardians of the Galaxy pinball on Wii U. I'm finding it amusing that I'm still finding stuff on the Wii U eShop I never knew existed on the system, right before the store closes for good.

@tekoii Thankfully, I don't have to cook much today, having some leftovers. So I should be able to make it. Indeed, I'm glad I got the battle pass for Paladins because of it, I'm always using cross-progression in that game.

For now, just waiting on the new My Little Pony game to come in the mail. Really looking forward to playing it because I like the new series. While I'm waiting, I grabbed a little racing game called Racing Karts. Fun little racing game. It's no Mario Kart, but fun for a few quick races.

@Sunsy Oh that's always good, can't have any waste on food! Awesome..You know, just join us as usual! You know when it comes to Paladins, for some odd reason it launches SOOO slow on my Steam for whatever reason. I gotta figure out what's wrong with it, it's the only thing that prevents me from playing more of it. Nice, least you got something to look forward to coming soon! Yea, looks like a bite-sized game, good price, and good to mess around with for a bit! For one thing, idk, made me think of how I want more rhythm games on my Switch quite randomly lol >U<.

@Anti-Matter KAO , also a fun game! Like Crash Bandicoot @Sunsy Mario Strikers is like Mario Kart on the field to me (with all these items).

@tekoii I would kill for more rhythm games on the switch. (Sorry for budding in btw)

It seems me and my family will not be going to the "Vincent Experience". Because turns out all the hotels are fully booked.

welp summer is starting...😐

@Snatcher Ahh you like rhythm games too? Do you know any good ones on Switch? And all good man, thanks, how are you?

@tekoii There are the taiko ones, and there is one I have been meaning to get, there is a demo on the switch as well, its called groove costar, if JP songs aren't your thing tho, probably not for you, all I know is I don't know how I have not heard of it, its soo much fun!

I'm doing great, I got granblue versus yesterday, and going to try and learn it, been also been trying to get over my online anxiety. (Did I also mention I played multiversus? the closed alpha was great!)

So is short, I'm doing great, you?

@tekoii
PS2 is perfect machine for Rhythm games.
You can get a lot of BEMANI games by Konami such as DDR, Para Para Paradise, Guitar Freaks & DrumMania, Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Keyboardmania on PS2 Japan version. And added the USA version of DDR (9 games) and Beatmania (1 game) on PS2.

PS2 also have DDR like games from other developer like Athens 2004 (it has DDR like gameplay from Rhythmic gymnast sport), Happy Feet 1, Flow Urban, etc. But DDR is still the best of all.

@Snatcher Ahh right, I wasn't even thinking of the Taiko ones for whatever reason. And hey Groove Costar sounds like a cool name. Ah I'm cool with JP songs! I'll check it out at some point! Have you gotten farther in Spelunky?? Oh nice what kind of game is granblue? Yea man, at your own pace have fun, it's fine playing online I'd say, just try to avoid toxics lol. What!? That's awesome, I'm looking forward to playing that game when it releases even on beta. I'm good as well, finally done with school, so in this break I hope I can boost my channel and do a few other things Thanks for asking, and it's cool you're doing great as well!

@Anti-Matter Ahh I love the PS2 but I don't have one :/ And it's hard to get an old console like that! But damn that's a lot of rhythm games on there, some I haven't heard of even. Do you have good recommends on the Switch?

@Sunsy @MarioLover92 It was great playing with you guys, dang not my best races but hey fun nonetheless. Thanks for playing

@Kermit1 You finally got the right cable to transfer switch screenshots to your pc? The USB to USB C cable that comes with the switch works. Why wouldn't that work?

Although, to do that, you have to open Switch Settings, Data Management, then pick share screenshots & videos.

Anyway, congratulations on getting screenshots to your pc!

@Tasuki which state are you in? And honestly, is there anything better than a state fair? Up where I am, I live for county fair season......so much locally made treasures! So little time! So much driving!

@MarioLover92 thank you! I agree, it is a really fun game. One of my faves on Switch (I know it's a port but I never had a WiiU so it's new to me)......I even hunted down the Amiibo for it because Toad is one of my all-time fave characters.

And don't worry about gushing, I did the exact same thing to @Silly_G

@tekoii Yeah it’s a really good rhythm game in my opinion and I just played the demo, the full game has a lot of songs, the one downside I would say might be all of its dlc.

Granblue fantasy versus is a fighting game by arc system works, a fighting game version of a really popular gatcha game in Japan.

So I have been playing it since yesterday, it’s a very simple fighter, really beginner friendly, only downside is the game is sorta dead ish.

Multiverses, man it’s a amazing game, you have to play it when the beta comes out, the move sets are so true to the characters, biggest example I can give is that Tom and Jerry fight each other, not other fighter lol.

And I know the games main selling point is 2V2 but it’s also really fun in 1V1’s.

Happy to hear your doing great as well.

Spelunky, I actually haven’t touch the game in a wile, I have been playing a lot of stuff recently, elden ring and sifu being two of them.

@WoomyNNYes I did not know that... well long story short I got a USB (whatever ipad is, i don't own one btw) to USB C completely forgetting what my PC's USB ports were, only the USB C part on the cord worked, because I have a USB C port on my PC. So then I went and got a USB A? to USB C and it worked.

long story even shorter, I bought the wrong thing, then I got the right thing.

@tekoii
Well....
Even I have difficulty to find Rhythm games on Switch I like to play as my mindset have been set with very high Standard of Rhythm games from BEMANI games so to see another Rhythm games on other machines, when I found the majority songs are not clicked on me, I will ignore those games. Just Dance is pure trash for me, never like the set of mainstream Western songs and I don't even like with the gameplay. I just SMH 😤 to see peoples liking Just Dance over than BEMANI games.
Guess they have very bad gaming taste and very poor gaming skills.

Taiko no Tatsujin for me was weaker than BEMANI games in my opinion as their games always have too minimalist U/I, don't really like some of Japanese songs from J-Pop or Anime or Parade category.

I think PS2 Japan is quite cheap to find from Ebay, but some of BEMANI games on PS2 are not cheap, especially like DDR X Japan, Beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS, DrumMania Masterpiece Gold, etc. Yeah... They are pricey but they have better quality that you have never knew yet. Btw, you can always play Stepmania on PC for All in One DDR games.

@Sunsy I got a digital eShop card earlier from Amazon, and it was $5 off so I got a bit of free credit. Kind of figuring out what I should get next, to be honest! That's cool you got some stuff on sale. For me though, none of the Switch eShop games on my wish list are on sale right now.

That's cool you got to watch that My Little Pony special. I'm pretty much the same way, I enjoy animated movies and anything light-hearted a lot more as well! Most of the serious shows/movies, not so much.

Cool - I've heard of the Karate Kid movies, but haven't watched them. I remember that the AVGN did a review of the NES game, that's kinda it though. My dad kinda got me into watching Flight of the Conchords, which is another live-action show. It's a musical comedy about two guys from New Zealand who have their own band - they moved to the US, but they only got one fan over there!

@tekoii (and Sunsy) It was good playing MK8D with you both - a lot of those races were really rough! My friend who got 1st a lot told me about soft drifting, which is an advanced technique. I tried practicing it in time trials, but it didn't totally click with me. I at least get blue sparks a lot quicker in some turns that way, but I still feel like I have to rock the control stick left and right so I would remain in control of my kart.

@Tyranexx Yeah, it's certainly not Metal Gear Solid, that's for sure, lol. Can't blame you, it does net you those all-important experience points alongside exploring the worlds the game has.

Oh no, really sorry to hear! That must have been really stressful to deal with. Yeah, stinging insects are pretty common over here too, particularly in spring and summer. There's that one house next to a private beach that we've had our vacations in, which is where jellyfish like to stick around in summertime. It's why I mentioned jellyfish to begin with. Absolutely, I've gotten pretty good with not bothering bees and wasps over the years, so I haven't gotten stung for a long time. I've had a few run-in with wasps as well, and they are ruthless for sure. I got stung by one as a kid in the woods when I unknowingly pestered them.

@TheJGG I'm doing pretty good, thanks for asking. Been playing with some pretty aggressive Mario Kart players and my NL pals tekoii and Sunsy, that's kinda it. lol

@cordova94 Yeah you're welcome! It's definitely a fun and charming adventure that I would totally recommend to anyone. I have it for both the Wii U and Switch - I got the Switch version on sale, and it was bundled with the DLC. I have been enjoying my second playthrough on Switch, though I haven't got to the DLC yet. I really should! I have the Toad amiibo as well, though I really wish they made a Toadette amiibo to go along with it!

I found this video to be very informative, so I decided to share it with you all.
