Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Barbiegurl777
I have PS4 machine and the games, not just only Nintendo Switch so I want to build their games library as equal as my Switch.
My PS4 & PS5 games library are really depended on 3rd party multi console games so I will pick the PlayStation version for 3rd party multi console games as possible since I can pick exclusive games that only available on Switch and I still able build my Switch games library. On very rare case, I might double dip or even triple dip the same games if the games are really good. Some of the same games have better performance (graphic detail, frame rate per second, loading time, exclusive contents, etc) on PlayStation machine and that's why I picked the PS4 / PS5 version instead of Switch version.

@NeonPizza Yeah sometimes, though rare.

@NeonPizza I've very rarely left comments on YouTube videos. Most YouTube comment sections can get real toxic and stressful, and if I do comment, I wouldn't get a reply most of the time. Honestly, I could go without leaving YT comments from now on, lol.

But if you never comment, how will know if you won the instagram give away you didn’t know you entered?!

@MarioLover92 Me too! BTW Theater trip went well. Posted about it in the movie thread.

I still can't believe it, I saw Trolls World Tour on the big screen. I thought that would never happen. I'm really happy today.

The crazy thing is that I'd play this. XD I'm tempted by that LEGO set, but the price brought me down to earth.

@MarioLover92 I think I'd like Undertale since it supposedly obtained some of its inspiration from the Mother series, which I do enjoy. Yep, they made the catching mechanics in the Let's Go titles behave a lot like Pokemon Go; there weren't any wild Pokemon battles at all. Just ball lobbing. But you could Battle other trainers normally.

Color Splash was a decent game overall. The writing was decent, the paint spots were fun to find and fill in, and I really enjoyed some of the characters and Thing cards. What killed it for me the most was the battle system and how much it relies on expendable cards; it came to a point in the game where I tried to avoid regular battles so I wouldn't go through cards and waste time. Having something undo paint progress in some spaces wasn't great either.

@Dogorilla Yep, XCX is a long one! But it is worth it IMO.

@Tyranexx Lego keeps getting more expensive and it won't stop (and thats coming from a huge fan of Lego)

@Kermit1 Yep, I don't expect the set to get cheaper either. Most sets hold their value well. I had no issues buying the Mario ? Block, but it was a full $100 cheaper and uses slightly less custom pieces...and contains less bricks in general. I'd like more Mario sets than that one, but I'm not too fond of the form factors used for Mario, Luigi, and Peach in the starter sets.

@Tyranexx That's what we all want. Minifigs of Mario characters not an electronic cube that looks like Mario.

I was looking up a video and I got a commercial with Kermit singing as I saw @Kermit1's avatar when I got here.

Well played YouTube, well played.

@Sunsy lol, I use an Ad-blocker so I have no clue if there are any Trolls ads. But I did just see a recommendation on Amazon for a Trolls World Tour DVD then saw this post. Cookies gotta love em.

If Bill C-11 gets past Canada's YouTube will be messed up.

@NeonPizza So I'm a teeny bopper? I only use NintendoLife and I have no need for Twitter or and other social medias.

(oh i get what you were saying took a minute to click with me)

@Kermit1 I keep ads on on sites I use regularly, like this one. I mostly use an ad blocker just in event of something malicious while looking up something. Funny how it works out that way.

BTW, the ad had the song Right Where I Belong if you're curious.

@Sunsy This one, I've gotten it before many times.

@NeonPizza Amiibo! well hopefully I got a long life ahead my last year of school is next year.

(i'm nothing like other peoples my age, i grew up with vhs before they were popular again and i have a huge cassette and vinyl collection)

@Kermit1 Yup, that's the ad! Haha, I forgot it was a Super Bowl ad. I always watch those every year.

@Eel It's OK. I don't need any Instagram giveaways. lol

@Sunsy Yeah I saw your post! Glad you had a great time!

@Tyranexx Undertale definitely reminds me of Mother/EarthBound as well, in terms of its visuals, story, and gameplay. Just in an 8-bit style. Gotcha, yeah I do remember the Let's Go games lets you battle other trainers. Maybe I'll get it if I catch it on sale, same thing with Sword/Shield. I definitely wanna get Arceus. Have you played New Pokemon Snap? I played the N64 original long ago and I do remember liking it.

Ah, I see. That's the one thing I despised about Sticker Star, the battle system where you only have a finite amount of stickers. Yeah, I'd probably enjoy Color Splash more if I get as much cards as I could, and not battle as much. That part where they take away your paint progress doesn't sound like a fun time, either.

@NeonPizza Yeah...I've seen those kind of posts before as well. I also remember when people would say "sub 4 sub?" and "first comment!" in the comment section. I don't think people do that "sub 4 sub" thing anymore, to my knowledge anyway. But I wouldn't be surprised if there's still people out there just trying to leave that first comment, just for the sake of leaving said first comment.

Thank goodness the Nintendo Life community's pretty much made things easier to have decent discussions about games and stuff, at least with most others in these very boards. I'm too old for having petty arguments anyway...and I just turned 30 last January!

That's my biggest issue with social media and something I avoid at all costs. Whenever I post something I like to think it's something that's appeared in my brain at some point. Meaning it's me thinking for myself instead of being a "sheep". I'd say I value good replies over likes, even ones that disagree with me. It's easier to find clear voices in forums though, which kinds ties in with your comment on "our" two-facedness. One on one dialogues eliminate that problem.

But there's people out there that use social media for good. Promoting positivity, sharing facts, raising awareness about certain issues, and calling out hypocrisy when it's deserved. It's also great for news (from trusted sources of course) since you can follow things nearly in real time.

Phew. I dusted and tried out the old PS3. It seems to work just fine.

Unfortunately the only controller I was able to find is the move wand thingy, and it seems the battery is dead, but it works connected to a source of power. So there you have me, updating passwords and wifi networks with that thing tethered to a charger.

I then found out my 8bitdo controller works… But the ps3 seems to be having a really hard time recognizing them after a bit of them being disconnected, so a wired connection is more stable. Of course though, they don’t have a PS button, so I can’t exit software unless I have the wand nearby. So it’s like a fun little spiderweb of cables.

I’ll probably just put it in a nicer storage place instead of leaving it plugged in long term though, since I don’t have a lot to do with it.

That does bring memories.
