Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@bimmy-lee I agree. I could only imagine how much Angela's eyes would've popped had I been viewing on the swOLED. Chefs kiss to the people making eye popping and screams happen with X1 and RAM technology.

@NintendoByNature - I wouldn’t be surprised if Angela knows the truth about the Switch Pro/2 and the chipset. I might check her twitter feed.

I've been hearing bits and bobs about the stuff going on over at Twitch but I've never really delved into it until a few minutes ago and.....what the f*** is happening over there.

More like Why the **** is happening over there.

From what I could hear, here’s the summary:

A guy came out revealing he’s been scamming basically everyone in his chat and like a thousand other streamers out of money to feed his gambling addiction.

Naturally, it ended with a completely different person getting cancelled over allegations from several years ago.

Oh and I think twitch banned gambling streams or something.

@Eel That's not the drama I heard, but I did hear about it...

@Sunsy I think Hollywood is determined to generate a live action cinematic universe for anything that was remotely popular within the last 40-50 years lol. I haven't watched the Pinocchio remake, but I'd like to eventually. I'm a little cautious with Disney's remakes; a couple have been really good, but IMO the animated films are better in most cases. I was old enough when watching the Clifford series to recognize the nod to the island's name. IMO it was put together really well.

Another reason I don't eat anything while gaming is because I don't allow food outside of my kitchen. That way, those messes don't easily make it onto my carpet or furniture. I do permit drinks as long as they're sealed, but I don't often drink anything when gaming either. Friend request accepted!

I found Pinocchio to be ok. The (very) slight alteration to the ending was nice, a wholesome message.

It did have a few eye rolling and anachronistic moments though.

I would not let a kid watch Andor, it was dark and... I mean that scene in episode 2...

I actually just finished Pinocchio a couple minutes ago with my little guy. It was ok, I still love the original though as it was one of my favorites growing up. Hoping my little guy appreciates me a little more and tries to be a good boy from now on 😉.

@Kermit1
Yeah, I’ve been doing them since I was five. Both my parents did it in high school so it was pretty much inevitable me and my siblings would pick it up. I do team roping and calf roping if you want to know. If not well, guess you know now.

@Tyranexx Indeed, still I find it funny that few of the major characters from my childhood all got some sort of live action version, lol. That's fine, hope you enjoy it when you do. The original Pinocchio has always been my favorite, will always be the best, but I still enjoyed the remake. Kudos to Disney for keeping Pinocchio himself faithful, he looks just like the original character. Agreed, I kind of wish the Clifford cartoon was around when I was a kid. Still glad to have seen it after high school.

That's kind of like me, most of the time, I'll eat in the kitchen or during dinner at the table with mom. Sounds like something I do, if I don't have a hot drink in a mug, it's usually in a cup with a straw and lid to reduce the chance of a spill. Thanks!

@Eel Little fun fact about the ending, it was actually based off a scrapped idea from the original movie. On Disney+ under extras or the DVD/Blu-Ray, watch the alternate ending, it's done in storyboard form. The slight change was originally planned before we got the ending we all know in the original today.

@Sunsy oh nice, I’ll have to check that out

@blindsquarel I watch rodeo clips from time to time. No clue what US state lol, I just know that those people are skilled. I've seen calf roping in person once (I think) I might need to ask my Mom about that.

There was another earthquake, that’s like at least one every day for the last three days. My brother says this one was strong enough to wake him up.

@Kermit1 Sorry about this late, late response lol.

I’m happy to hear it did!

But this also happens in the first Star Wars.

@Snatcher I hope this will make your day better!

Is it weird that I don’t plan on buying any games until tears of the kingdom? I don’t even have a huge backlog or anything, just don’t care for anything that is releasing until then.

@Kermit1 I love duck videos, And I don’t watch enough of them, thank you!
