Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko The name Takahashi is the surname of a well known Manga author known for her works having a lot of tsunderes in.

@TeaCatherine Yeah, I stolethe name from Rie Takahashi, my favorite voice actor. It's a common name. Also, yes, I like tsunderes.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Just looked at her Wikipedia page and she's voiced hardly anyone I've heard of. One of my sisters is a massive fan of a voice actress called Megumi Ogata.

@TeaCatherine I cannot help but feel that you may have spelt that incorrectly.

@Scooby-Doo I have literally no clue what happened there???

@TeaCatherine The / button is right next to the shift button.

@Sunsy The controls in the Prime games do take a little getting used to, but it didn't take very long for them to click with me either. At least not using the Wii controls. Can't speak for the first two on the GameCube since I've only played the lot through Metroid Prime Trilogy. Then again, I never picked up conventional FPS games lol.

@MarioLover92 I also prefer drawing, though paint can be fun to mess with despite the...mess lol. We used different ways to create art in that class, ranging from more conventional materials like pencils and paintbrushes to charcoal and random objects to use as stamps. For smaller figures and art, an acquaintance actually used a magnifying glass to zero in on some of the finer details. He used one to draw a tiny background Spider-Man in a Marvel scene he was working on.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Honestly, I'd forgotten Time Extension was a thing until I used the main/default NL page view. I normally use the Timeline view as I prefer the layout, but I don't believe TE content is featured on it. The Timeline page also seems to miss an article once in awhile too.

@Tyranexx Ah yeah for sure, painting has its advantages as well, and you could make some great looking pieces with oil paints. There was an illustration class that I took that dealt with paints and oil, too, for the last part of projects. I think I'm better at drawing than I am at painting in general, I think my paint strokes could use some improvement.

That's actually a really good idea, if only I thought of using a magnifying class for smaller figures! I have a lot of smaller Mario figures sitting on my shelf, such as one of my Mario Kart figures. Is there a particular kind of magnifying glass that I should go for?

Also, I don't know if you've seen my earlier post from today, but Nintendo sent me a really nice picture with Mario and his pals, in honor of my birthday coming in a week. How sweet of them! <3 I might sound a bit sappy... but it made me quite happy and it seriously made my day. And it's not even my birthday yet!

@MarioLover92 I definitely can't paint with a trained or fine hand - not easily anyway, but it's something I do enjoy. Just as long as I don't end up wearing too much of it.

On the magnifying glass: I could ask next time I see them, but I don't think it was any sort of special magnifying glass. I just recall that it was smaller to be easier to cart around. Though I'd say anything that allows you to zero in on an object that you like will work!

I missed that post unfortunately, but your post history on your profile made it very easy to find. XD It's a pretty nice piece of Mario art! One week away already? Shame Nintendo doesn't really do any sort of discounts for birthday recipients anymore....At least they didn't when my birthday rolled around last fall. Just some free stuff I could print off. All the same, an email is better than nothing.

@MarioLover92 Awesome e-mail!

Indeed, I feel the same way too. It just annoys me since I have zero interest. If the whole point of ads is to make money, why not sell me something I would buy, like a game or something like that, lol.

If Mario Kart Double Dash had a remake, I can picture it being put to use via the online service. It was so cool to be one of the few games on GameCube to have that LAN feature. I never tried it myself, but I think there was a YouTube video demonstrating it. If GameCube were to come to Switch Online, I think it would be the usual "simulate split screen over the Internet" thing it usually does.

Same, I had my Switch since 2018, and it still works perfectly fine. The few games I can't play on Switch, I can always play on PC. It feels like a full console lifespan at this point, so I could imagine a new system comes along. I sometimes talk about this with my IRL friend, personally, I think it might have more to do with the Wii U. If they make a "new Switch," would people confuse it as a Switch add-on? shrugs

Wow. If anything, these rumors would make for some ridiculous ways to play the game. I remember some of the steps you had to do to unlock Luigi in Super Mario 64. XD You had to play levels a certain way, then go into the mirror room, ground pound certain posts, and then punch the mirror, and Luigi would appear, lol. Meanwhile, I use to go into the courtyard and try to get to the front of the castle. Ah silly me as a kid, not knowing the front of the castle and the courtyard were not actually connected, lol.

@Tyranexx IIRC, the original Metroid Prime controls played like classic Doom. The joystick moved forward and turned left and right, and you had to hold down L (remembering off the top of my head), and stand still to look around and aim up and down. Most first person games uses left joystick to move forward, back, and strafe, and right was used to look around and aim.

I'm guessing Metroid Prime played more like a Wii FPS game, joystick to move, Wii remote to aim and shoot. Never tried the Wii version, I have the GameCube one.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I'm fine, I'm still new to social media and I need to remember not to post things when overtired or while drinking caffeine.

Also, I will not be getting Discord or collab-ing for the next long while.

I went up to my room pretty late tonight. As I walked in, my brother randomly sat up, walked over to my bed and patted it three times. I asked him what he was doing, to which he replied “ painting.
After about five seconds I asked what he was talking about, and he said “ gosh darn it, I’m just trying to fight some panda’s in strollers.” He then proceeded to go back to bed in ten seconds.

I’ve heard some interesting things he has said while sleep talking, but this may be the best one yet.

@blindsquarel that's golden lol

@TeaCatherine I judge my own social skills to be morbidly sub-par, especially face to face communication. I mostly don't look at the conversation partner (subconsciously, not out of lack of respect) and I go into immediate panic whenever I stop talking fluently, which causes me to stutter even more.

At school I learnt some things that I forgot like a month later. It's all game show knowledge that has no connection to real life, after all. Also, I learnt that if you are put down by bullies, you lose all respect even with people who don't initially care. Thinking that all of them are begging from the gutter somewhere really helps, but it doesn't make me any more confident.

I have no idea why this thread currently get filled by conversations of users which have problematic situation in their life and keep talking how miserable their life and another group keep talking about waifus in disturbing way.

@Anti-Matter I have no idea either, the waifu talk is a little weird I will admit.

Good morning Nintendo Life. I'm running out of ways to say good morning.

@Anti-Matter @Kermit1 Man, people are allowed to talk about their problems, don't judge them for it. Also, nothing wrong with waifus, I like what I like and I'm allowed to talk about it. It's the chat chat thread, we're supposed to talk about our interests and such.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Indeed, this is coming from someone who would buy and play a Trolls game if it were to be developed and released. How I feel about licensed games is that if it's a fun game and is faithful to the source material, it can be a good game too. This is what happened to Microids' two Smurfs games. I still feel Jimmy Neutron Attack of the Twonkies was that. It's loosely was based on the special, but captured what made the show so good with its cutscenes, and having levels heavily inspired by the locales of Retroville. Haven't seen much of Paw Patrol games, the bit I did see, the racing game looks like a fun early racing game for younger kids, the platformer reminds me of Smurfs 2, just generic and nothing special. Looking at show clips to compare, the racing game takes locales of the show, the platformer just uses the art style but doesn't look like places I've seen in a few clips I've seen. I think it is possible to make good licensed games, just needs the TLC when making it.

Yeah, most parents wouldn't even come to a site like this for game info. Meanwhile, I come here for news, watch gameplay, decide for myself if it's worth buying or waiting for a price drop.

Audience reactions are the best. I still remember the day seeing the first Sonic movie and the audience losing it at Tails! Between that and the kid singing along to one of the Trolls songs, it's just a magical experience you just can't get at home.

I have to say, I agree with leaks and rumors. My IRL friend and I usually discuss it because we follow gaming news, but we often take a realistic take. Said IRL friend also had a friend who got mad when Smash characters didn't get revealed and we told him not to listen to random YouTubers. This is coming from someone who loves watching gaming content.

Pitch Meetings are fun because they aren't being treated as serious reviews. Can't remember which movie it was but I've seen one of them before. There's also CinemaWins, found this one by accident when looking up Trolls one day. CinemaWins is like CinemaSins, except the focus is on what makes a movie so awesome. I tend to not care for CinemaSins since it's just nitpicking at this point, even if that's the point of the videos.

@Anti-Matter If have a good or bad day, I'll mention it, usually I don't go into very personal details of that. I like coming here to just chat about stuff and games.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko Good morning to you too!

@Sunsy Hi Sunsy! Just learned that Trolls is getting another movie, and I'm excited.
