Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I have a slightly newer profile pic this time, and I think it looks quite a bit better. I've been using the standard bike with Mario quite a lot, and I've been getting some good online races with this build. It's still on N64 Rainbow Road, and this time, you can see that flying train in the background.

@Tyranexx Ohhh, gotcha. Thanks for your thoughts on BDSP. It's too bad it seems like a step backwards from the other remakes, at least I still have Omega Ruby. I should play more of that sometime.

Nice, been wanting to revisit it sometime. I don't think I was too good at it when I was younger, but I still enjoyed it.

Ouch. I can't blame you for being steamed...I would have felt the same way. Kinda wish they let you at least do regular jump and hammer attacks throughout SS/CS, so you'd at least stand a chance. Origami King has that, at least. Plus the more powerful variants last a good while before breaking.

@Sunsy It was nice playing Super Mario Kart with you! Have a great one.

@Tyranexx KERNEL + Computer = Comp-Corn

awful joke lol

@MarioLover92 BDSP are by no means bad, but for the most part (disregarding the Grand Underground and Ramanas Park, the Pal Park replacement) they're the same as the originals. The Grand Underground is mostly an improvement, but they neutered secret bases in the change. So it's kind of one step forward, half a step back. Ramanas Park is good too, but only if you're gunning for legendaries and want to grind mysterious shards in the Grand Underground. I wish the main overworld incorporated the improvements from Platinum.

Honestly, I'm surprised they DIDN'T keep regular jump and hammer attacks. Mario & Luigi games kept them, as well as Super Mario RPG. I do have Origami King but haven't played it yet....Hopefully before too long! Reviews seemed to suggest it was an improvement over other more recent entries.

@Kermit1 I like jokes, whether or not they're decent. XD

This is my cue to repeat that The Origami King start slows, but it’s a great game and I liked it a lot.

I’m actually considering buying Sticker Star through the eshop as part of my doomsday wish list, have the complete set of Mario RPGs on the 3DS, I’m only missing that and Paper Jam.

I was thinking to consider Kirby Star Allies and Paper Mario Origami King for my next purchase as I haven't pick Kirby Star Allies since 4 years and Origami King since 2 years so I have to get them before they are extinct in the future.

Btw, how easy was Kirby Star Allies for peoples who have never played Kirby games?

I was browsing to see the comparison between Kirby Return to Dreamland Wii and Star Allies Switch and I saw some similarities between of them in term of 2D stages + Return to Dreamland was too expensive to get from Ebay so I think Star Allies was cheap enough to experience first Kirby game.

@Tyranexx Gotcha. I never played Platinum, but I did hear it was an improvement over Diamond and Pearl. I may get at some point, especially if I don't have my DS copy anymore, but I'm definitely more interested in Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

Yeah...I was pretty surprised to learn that while I was playing Sticker Star. Would've liked it more if they actually had regular attacks you could always use, and just have stickers be more powerful attacks. I definitely liked Origami King a lot more. It's not my favorite Paper Mario game, but it's a pretty good one nonetheless. Loved the visuals and music in that game, too.

Never heard of one of them before, @Tyranexx .... Mind you, my PC refused to boot awhile ago, claiming there was no Windows installed & when I checked boot options in BIOS, it only had the secondary storage drive showing there at all!

@Rambler idk I just found the image on google

@MarioLover92 Definitely was a fun time too. It was also fun to play battle mode. Don't usually play that mode in the Mario Kart games, and even less in Super Mario Kart. I have more memories of doing two player Mario Kart GP than the battle mode of that game.

Oh, XP, @Rambler .... Heh, yeah, this last time was weird because I found the main drive had weirdly been disabled in BIOS, which obviously I didn't do & I've never had that happen due to a crash before but was easily re-enabled Other times, I had to put in the Windows USB I got with my PC & install it to the secondary drive to get in & find out what had happened to the primary one, which fortunately has only been a couple of times in about 2 years
Not that I'd consider myself any real expert on such things but I am good with Google, lol, so don't bother consulting me on anything like that

According to reverse image search, it's from Windows 7, @Rambler .... I don't think the 'blue screen' now usually shows all that text, which is going to be at best meaningless to almost everyone! Last time I had the 'blue screen' on mine, it just said 'sorry, an error occurred....'

PikaMAN

New cover; this time from Nintendo Switch Sports!

@Kermit1
I have Bodybuilder Pikachu.

@Anti-Matter Does Pikachu have 26 pack? lol

Hey guys,
Do you remember a while back there was a song that I couldn't for the life of me remember where it was from? Well, I've found the video where I originally heard it. It comes in at 54:59 in the vid and I literally had this eureka moment whilst mindlessly scrolling through my channel subscriptions. If anyone knows the name of it, I'd very much appreciate it!

Amazon Prime Day (US) is tomorrow July 12-13. In case anyone wasn't aware, forgot, and maybe wants to catch deals on micro sd cards, games. Does anyone know what time the sale kicks off? Is it midnight?

I want a U3 512gb micro sd for my tablet so I can put my digital library of The Simpsons, Futurama, Doctor Who, movies, on there. I'd get a 400gb card, but the 512gb cards are selling for the same price.

@Fizza i think thats just the ace trainer encounter music

As an unrelated bonus, heres the Sailor/Fisherman encounter theme. Just because I’ve battled dozens of them and never really listened past the initial notes.

@Eel The Fishermen do not deserve such a suave theme. On the topic though, I've always adored the PI/Gentleman theme as well. It's probably the most iconic Trainer encounter theme in the series and for good reason: it's really, REALLY good.

@Fizza haha yeah, you see, the PIs are nothing but a big fraud!

In Japanese they're named Gamblers, so it’s fitting!
