Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

I recently found my Wii from back in the late 2000's and, out of pure curiousity, decided to connect it to my own TV just to see whether or not it still worked all these years later and....

The time is completely wrong and the machine itself whirrs harder than a decade old Ford Focus but my god: it actually f****** works.

I'm so happy 🥲

@Fizza How many consoles have you found recently? It seems like an awful lot.

@TeaCatherine We've been having a very big cleanup around the entire house lately, a lot of this stuff just kind of shows up out of nowhere these days it seems XD

@Fizza Yeah, I figured. I couldn't think of any other reason someone would suddenly find so many old consoles.
I see that you do quite a lot of online so I was wondering, how do you find out what your friend code is?

@ChaoticKirby good, good. Also, raspberry tea is a pretty good hack. Drink, go to sleep, it will help you sweat it out.

Kinda not cute story about my experience with it, don't read that unless you're really interested
I remember having 39 degrees (something worse than covid but not covid since I tested myself before it got that bad) and after a few days of antibiotics and raspberry tea, I just went to sleep, woke up and felt uncomfortable, ignored it, fell asleep again and when I woke up, I got up and everything was drenched. not even wet, it was as if someone dropped a bucket of water on my bed. Felt like I had fought a bear or something, but the fever was gone, and it didn't come back.

@ComfyAko Wow, that sounds way worse than when I actually had covid. Also, can confirm that going to sleep is the best thing to do when you're uncomfortable or in pain, it's what I do when I get severe cramp.

@TeaCatherine On Switch, head to your Profile (the little circle above the games) and once you click on that it should show you what it is!

@TeaCatherine When I had covid, it wasn't that bad. At the worst point I had 38 degrees (for a brief period), and I was able to rest freely most of the time. It's just that I've felt weakened for about 3 weeks after the other symptoms have passed. I remember it was covid that got me into Genshin which I installed, played for a bit and left for better times. And when covid struck, it was the only game I played because it was so simple

@Fizza Thanks, for some reason I thought it was tied to the console not the user. I don't really play any online games (I don't even have an online subscription) and I tend to play things in flight mode to save battery.
@ComfyAko When my family got it, it was after it got quite a bit weaker, and I was mostly asymptomatic so just minor fevers, slight sore throats and coughs for everyone else and I got a very minor sore throat for about a day.

@ComfyAko That’s actually neat and gross. I remember having COVID and I actually experienced sweatiness like that. I hated it, but apparently that’s a sign that your body is fighting off whatever infection you have. My COVID itself was really bad, but I’m just glad that that my current condition isn’t as severe as that was.

Status update: The doctor diagnosed me with some throat infection. I got some medicine specifically for that, and now I’m hoping that it will work.

@Fizza I wish I still had my Wii. I sold it a while back. The closest thing I have is my Wii U, which comes with reverse compatibility. It doesn’t feel the same, though. I’m really glad that you found yours, hope you enjoy playing some games on it.

Since around 5 pm yesterday, my brother, dad, uncle, and cousin have had an ongoing conversation about Bigfoot and all their theories about it. it’s got to the point where they want to spend tonight watching a YouTube channel called Bigfoot Odyssey.

@ChaoticKirby I hope it does it's work as quickly as possible.
@blindsquarel Okay... Weird thing to get hyper fixated on.

It’s really annoying seeing posts online about Majora’s mask 3D. I just saw one saying that they just bought the game and wanted some tips. Instead of actually helping the guy, all anybody could do is talk about how the 64 version is amazing and the 3D version sucks. Just let people enjoy the version they want to play.

@TeaCatherine
My family gets hyper focused on some strange things.

@blindsquarel How does the 3d version suck? I hate to say this but I probably wouldn’t have ever played the 64 version because I think everyone looks so darn ugly. How? Lmao.

@blindsquarel Doesn't everyone's? Mine certainly does.
Also, that does sound annoying, some people on the internet just get het up over the smallest of things.

@Snatcher Yadayada, something to do with fishing, they changed how you do a certain boss fight and I think how you get some of the masks.

@TeaCatherine It's good to hear, I hope none of us get it again

@ChaoticKirby It's nothing serious, so that's good news. No go and get some rest soldier, you deserved it.

@Snatcher
The bosses were given an eye weak point, zora swimming was nerfed, and deku hopping is slower ( not by much though). But if I had to choose between the two versions I would go with the 3ds, because it has some quality of life changes ( changes to the inverted and double song of time) and the graphics actually look half decent. Plus some of the bigger changes like zora swimming, are used for about twenty minutes total and not really a big deal.

Just gonna put this here....
