Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika it seems to have ended already.

I’ll leave that up to you. Do keep in mind an admin will check the thread later though.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I don't think putting them on ignore is necessary, but if that makes you more comfortable then you're free to do it.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika From what I can remember neither Grey nor Triton hide their age. The affinity chart says that Grey is 60 and Rozana is 30, I don't really have a problem with that, it just seems like a massive age gap.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Yeah, sorry I kind of misunderstood what you meant by hiding their age, it does say ??? for Triton (I haven't done his ascension quest yet either.) I think Grey would probably die if he stopped being edgy for more than a minute and Rozana's just perfect spy material.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I do hate the nopon but I do think a tirkin hero would be interesting, I like the fact that in the first one they were just basically average monsters but 2 and 3 actually made them able to speak and trade with people. I don't think it'll ever tell you Triton's age but I could be wrong.

@TeaCatherine you hate nopon...

@Kermit1 Get those monstrosities away from me.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Yeah, I just find their voices and way of speaking annoying. I especially hate Riki's kids because I think FC would have been better if it had Sharla and Reyn instead of moveset clones of them.

@TeaCatherine you are evil

All right, so I played a little bit of GoldenEye 007 last night on NSO+EP. The controls feel a bit... different, but I did get used to them midway through the first level. I did finish the first level too, so not too shabby for someone who isn't too experienced with FPSs. I'll try to play more of the single player to really prepare myself for the multiplayer.

@Sunsy Yep! It had a bit of everything I like, lol. I forgot to mention that for my birthday, Nintendo gave me a discount code for their merchandise store, I used it to get a t-shirt that had Mario and the Goombas on it. That's one more thing to treat myself with!

That's cool, I kinda wish I got those PDP controllers you've mentioned when I had the chance. Just to see how they compare to the Hori ones. Oh well. That's cool you got some great use from it.

Ah wow, that sounds a bit weird. I've had my fair share of old games getting screwed up in the past, the whole screen would be filled with corrupted graphics a few times, and the game would crash. It's not pretty to look at, lol.

Yoshi as a Pokemon, huh? I would've totally wanted to catch him when I had Pokemon Red back in those days, lol! That reminds me, Squirtle kind of reminded me of a Koopa Troopa back when I was younger.

All righty, thanks! Are the blue tokens used for acquiring more rare cars and other stuff? I'll be sure to save them up.

@Tyranexx Thank you, lol! Yes, it was the animated one. Since I watched it, I've been having the songs stuck in my head, too. Disney movies tend to have some truly memorable songs, I think that's one reason why Disney's so positively magical!

Yeah I could see Nintendo wanting to prep one more thing when Metroid Prime 4's development is about to wrap up. I hope its development is going OK, at least. I do know they had to restart development back in 2019, I don't think we heard anything else after that. We did get Metroid Dread a couple years back, at least, and I loved that game.

Gotcha, the first Mega Man X is definitely one of the best in the X series, so I'd pick that one if one were to just play one MMX game. The X series are kind of mixed in terms of quality. A few of them are great, a few are so-so, and then there's Mega Man X7, which is... kinda bad, lol.

That's understandable, I've been playing my 3DS lately, been playing not just Planet Robobot, but also some of the Game Boy games that I've gotten from the eShop. I haven't played too much of Amazing Mirror, but it's definitely a good game. That's one game I should get more time in.

Edit: Oh and Tyranexx, good job on finishing Origami King! I thought it was a decent game as well. The battles aren't really the game's strong suit admittedly, but they were at least better than Sticker Star's battles. I loved the visuals and writing, and the exploration was pretty good too.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Yeah, it's as you said at some point in the past, it's just a glorified post credits scene, I would have preferred it if it had been a proper epilogue for all your party members.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika By "that one robot girl everyone ships with Dunban 'cause they talked once" did you mean Egil's sister or someone else that I've totally forgot about?

Geezs

I didn't know if GTO was one of car's brand name, I thought GTO was stand for Great Teacher Onizuka. 🤣
Btw, who's here is the fan of 80's songs ?

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika Maybe it was 'cause there wasn't a space? Also, is a winter soldier arm a mechanical arm?

@Anti-Matter I've seen so many of them in Gran Turismo and Forza to associate GTO with nothing but cars.

80s songs are rad

I wanted to see some anime movie today, but watched Disney's The Rescuers (1977) instead. A great movie really, I didn't know that the main characters would later be replaced by Chip and Dale, whom I detest now.

It's kinda weird how Disney is so hung up on strong female characters now, as if they didn't have so many in the past.

@ComfyAko Now that's a movie I haven't seen in a long time! I've been in a Disney mood lately, so I wanna try to give it a watch sometime. I heard its sequel is really good, too.

@Sunsy I was interested in VNs and point & click games even before playing DDLC, but needless to say it only pulled me more into the genre lol. Even if I'll likely avoid most of the romance-oriented ones lol. I've read a couple of the World of Darkness VNs available on Switch (Wasn't a big fan of Vampire - The Masquerade: Shadows of New York, but loved Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Heart of the Forest) and also picked up AI: The Somnium Files for future play when it was last on sale. I also have a lot of backlogged Ace Attorney games; while I'm not quite sure if they qualify for VN status, the gameplay seems pretty close IMO.

I like Barnes & Noble - love going, but it's also over an hour away, plus I have more than enough books right now lol. I've heard of Five Below and would like to go to one sometime just to look. Closest things around here to that are Dollar General and Dollar Tree lol.

@SlashFuture My first PM title was actually Color Splash. Overall it was a good game with some glaring issues (bleh combat, a cheap mechanic where you could lose ALL your cards in a poorly timed enemy encounter, loss of paint progress on the map, etc.), more than Origami King I'd argue.

@EaglyTheKawaiiShika I'm pretty sure the Jack/Pinocchio comparison is intentional. Seemed petty to me at the time. Yeah, Goldilocks was predictable but understandable, even though her perfect family was literally right in front of her, fuzz and all. Agreed on Death. Perrito is indeed the best Donkey to Puss lol. Both were excellent companions and helped break the title card protagonists out of their funks. Do you mean Shrek 5? Pretty sure Forever After was technically 4.

@MarioLover92 Ah yes, some good songs in Beauty and the Beast for sure! It's hard for me to pick between Gaston, the opening town song (can't think of the name RN), Be Our Guest, The Mob Song....

I just played through Metroid Dread a few months ago and loved it, so consider my Metroid itch scratched...for now. At least until I pick up my next Metroidvania. At least there are plenty of options there.

I actually played through Mega Man X on the SNES Classic, so I might've used save states to my advantage when things got REALLY hairy. XD Haven't played any of the others, though I've learned I'm not really into the platforming side of Mega Man very well. At least not the earlier titles I've tried.

On 3DS, I'm getting somewhat close to finishing Mole Mania (I think) and hope to start one of the backlogged RPGs I have for it soon. I'm heavily leaning towards the meaty Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. It's supposed to be a long haul, but more streamlined compared to the original PlayStation version from what I've read. On Origami King: Thanks! All told, I think it's an improvement on the other Paper Mario titles I've played so far (All but the first two and Sticker Star at this point) barring Super Paper Mario, which is still my favorite. Basically it left my biggest complaint in about Color Splash (which I did like as well, just had some glaring issues), but made it less of one lol.
