Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I recently watched Ace Attorney stage plays with my sister when she was visiting me and just wanted to say that if you like Ace Attoney, you should absolutely watch them. We have one more left to watch so we'll be watching it on Christmas.

One of the stage plays is an adaption of Justice for All's final case but all the other ones are completely original. I was really surprised by how funny and well thought out they were. Big recommendation.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko your Hardy he's Laurel

@Kermit1Pineapple Me not understand

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko
1. Kojima is Hideo Kojima, a famous video game developer who created the Metal Gear Solid series (a well-known stealth game series)
2. I really have no clue about heights.

@Late I'll give them a try, thanks for the recommendation.

@TeaCatherine He tree, I twig.
@Kermit1Pineapple Listen to this. It's sung by popular gaming YouTubers.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko So, which consoles do you have?

We once had a user whose whole schtick was pretending he was the real Hideo Kojima.

It was funny because they would post a bunch of pseudo-intellectual stuff and try to force mentions of Kojima studios and his games into every discussion. As if the real Kojima had nothing better to do than fishing for attention on a random forum.

He seemed very disappointed when absolutely nobody fell for it.

@Eel does the user still use the site?

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Technoblade never dies

@Kermit1Pineapple I’m not sure if they had any other accounts, but that one in particular was banned, because impersonating a celebrity is against the rules.

@Eel I was wondering since that is against site rules.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Exactly.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika What are your thoughts on this year's Game Awards?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika As someone who's played it, do you think Xenoblade Chronicles 3 should have won anything? (Ugh, I'm sorry for sounding like a questionnaire.)
Edit: Didn't see you had posted about that whilst I was writing.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika
Okay, we can continue here to avoid off topic conversations from Unpopular Opinion thread.

About anime style, there are certain anime style I like such as Sailor Moon (90's anime), Fancy Lala, Yokai Watch, Pokemon, Doraemon, etc since their drawing style and the charm from those franchises are matched with my brain, probably more than 95% matched with my brain.
Especially Sailor Moon, her magical transformation actually gave me idea for my Chibi Boxer that can henshin like Sailor Moon.
There was a compatibility between those ideas with my brain.

However, there are a lot of anime drawing style that I don't like or will never like such as Rune Factory character design (I don't like their bishounen looking dudes and the annoying eyes design), xenoblade (too many waifus, especially with big boobs), retro 70's character with hairstyle like Saint Seiya, Gegege no Kitaro (too creepy), wimpy bishounen looking dudes, etc.

About Final Fantasy, FF VIII has the best character design in my opinion as their outfits, the color tones, the character design, hairstyles, etc are really simple and interesting to see, like our casual outfits we wore everyday or on special occasion.
But, I have no longer interest with recent SquareEnix games when the character design made by Tetsuya Nomura as they have more unappealing design for me (too many visual kei / emo looking dudes with long hairs) for the latest SquareEnix games.

Here is one thing I want to explain about girl characters in video games.
I like to play girlie fashion games such as Style Savvy / Nicola Kanshu as they have girlie anime looking but since the main selling point is about fashion, I positioned myself as a girl who want to have slumber party and girlie activity stuffs. In this case, the girl characters sell fashion and cute stuffs.
But, when the girl characters are designed to be appealed for adult male audiences, I see the girls selling sex appeal and sensuality and since I have different sex orientation, I didn't feel interested with them because they will sell minimalist outfits as possible and I don't like to see nearly naked female characters especially when they have big boobs.

Here is one case from anime Ika Musume.

Even the girl characters has been designed appropriate enough for younger audiences / teens, but when I saw handsome shirtless dudes from the scenes, I will pay attention on them, not the girl characters.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Yeah, I knew that it was doomed due to Elden Ring.

@Anti-Matter Not all of the Xenoblade series has the overkill breasts, just 2 because they subcontracted character designs.

UPDATE

Dear NintendoLifers! I bring you some Christmas cheer with my latest creation ... the Grinch from the Illumination movie (2018)!

I really loved making him as it was a request from my fiancé! We both really love the "new" movie. Well we love the Jim Carrey one too!

I hope you like him!
