Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Link-Hero My PC I keep very safe, I got Norton and the best ADblocker on Chrome.

@Rambler I didn't react quick enough to right down the code displayed on screen.

@Sunsy I'm glad to know it's not just me that got one, I got legit scared since my PC cost my parents tons of money.

edit my PC was a birthday gift and I don't share it with anyone so any problems that happen are probably me or Windows 10.

I've been rewatching a lot of Yu Gi Oh recently in memory of Kazuki Takahashi and I came across a tweet (that I unfortunately can't find again) that was asking what everyone's favourite card artwork from YGO was. It reminded me of a certain card who's artwork I instantly fell in love with: Eater of Millions.

I don't really know why I like it so much, it just really appeals to me for some reason.

Also, massive shoutout to Danger? Tsuchinoko? as well for being probably the cutest card they've ever made (besides Kuribo obviously).

@Rambler I don't have a phone

@Fizza Yu gi oh card designs are awesome.

My favorite are any of the toonworld cards, I just think a lot of them look sick, oh and can’t go wrong with any of the dark magicians.

@Snatcher I always found it hilarious that Pegasus was the main user of them in the anime. Like, would you really expect THIS character......

.....to be using THESE cards?

Pegasus was a man who owned a private island where he held death games for unsupervised children.

I’d say his deck using childish cards wasn’t that unusual.

@Kermit1 It will sometimes just happen. Just be glad you're not using something like Windows ME. Man, back in the day, you couldn't go a week without the blue screen appearing with that OS, lol.

@Sunsy lol I remember that

@Kermit1 Ah, so it was after Trap Team that the series nosedived. Too, I think some of it was because the toys to life concept became pretty saturated at that point with some forms of amiibo, LEGO Dimensions, etc.

As for your computer issue...Blue screens can be alarming but usually aren't an issue unless they're happening frequently or due to a specific string of actions. This can even happen to well maintained PCs. It's often due to a hardware or software failure. Next time it happens, take note of the error info. It usually doesn't tell you a lot if it's a generic error, but more specific errors can help with troubleshooting.

@MarioLover92 No prob, busy weekend for me too lol. I liked Brilliant Diamond, though once the rose-tinted glasses came off I do agree that the D/P remakes played things too safe. They were faithful, but too much so. All of the previous remakes baked in more excellent QoL improvements and content. The remakes are good, just not very worth it outside of nostalgia and a modern coat of paint...if one played the originals. I really liked Pokemon Snap! Despite the N64 graphics - which are by no means bad - the game has aged fairly well for the most part.

I didn't describe that encounter where most of my cards were stolen, by the way. A few cards remained, but they couldn't do any meaningful damage to the opponent since it was floating. Hence...I lost all of my cards. Needless to say I was steamed. There are experience points in the game, but past a certain point they have no meaning.

@Tyranexx I've had my computer crash before (black screen), it's just the blue screen jump scared me and made me worry for a second. Next time it happens I will try to write down the error code.

@Kermit1 Yeah. Now that I think about it, given how rarely they happen, blue screens can be a bit of a jump scare now, lol. When it happened on my PC, I jumped not expecting it.

It's also a good thing they don't happen much. Imagine playing a PC game, and the blue screen pops up mid-final boss battle. Not the final boss, the second final boss, that comes back more powerful.

@Sunsy but what if thats one of the boss phases... insta-kill by blue screen

@Kermit1 What if the final boss is the blue screen? O__O

@Sunsy This is what you'd use to fight it

it's dry ice... so freeze the blue screen to death

@Kermit1
What the heck?!
A smoky XBOX Series X machine??

@Anti-Matter It's a hoax, but a funny one lol

someone put dry ice inside (from what I understand) and (google dry ice) it creates the smoky fog coming out of the XBOX.

@Kermit1 At least modern day BSODs aren't as alarming; it's mostly just a sad face. XD A few months ago I was having issues with my work laptop throwing an UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP error, which is fairly generic. It turns out the firewall was occasionally butting heads with my file system/Windows Explorer in certain situations. I had to disable it and use a different one.

Edit: I beat Snatcher's below post by ONE. SECOND. XD

@Fizza Never in all honesty, wile watching it, it really was a surprise, doppelgänger is also one of my favorite card designs!

@Tyranexx... Jeez that's scary!

@Kermit1 Yep. They changed it to look a bit less scary for people not used to dealing with difficult computers on a daily basis. XD
