Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Colonel_Mustache and Festivus for the rest of us!

I had nothing better to do, so I launched one of the old drawing apps I have on the 3DS and drew a thing. Here it is. Please stare at it.

@Eel

@Zuljaras you’ll make him blush 🤭

Your Name was, as I did say to @Ralizah a few days ago, an absolute masterclass in visuals, storytelling and music. It's legitimately one of the best-looking films I've ever seen and has a pretty decent soundtrack. I'm not too versed in his films but I've also seen Garden of Words and a recurring theme is awkward but incredibly intense romance. That movie's on Netflix I believe but is only 45 mins or so...

@Tyranexx Watched Suzume last week. Fantastic film. While I don't expect anything he makes will ever live up to Your Name (a top five film overall for me), it's still the best piece of animation I've seen in years. Funny, action-packed, deeply-emotional, and paints a fantastic portrait of ordinary human life across modern Japan.

@TheJGG If you liked the look of Garden of Words, which was visually distinct from a lot of Shinkai's work in certain respects, I recommend checking out Weathering With You. Same art director, Hiroshi Takiguchi, but unlike that picture, this production clearly had a way larger budget. While it's my least favorite of his 'disaster trilogy' (Your Name, Weathering, and Suzume), it might be the prettiest animated film ever made.

@Eel
You ever considered a career in art?

@NeonPizza If letting go of your retro collection is so difficult for you, I imagine there's a part of you that'll regret it if you go through with it. A lot of people sell their old consoles and then kick themselves for it down the road.

Although I've largely given up on retro collecting now that prices are as ridiculous as they are. Especially in the case of Playstation games (my primary retro collection), since I can just rip my physical copies and emulate those after selling them. The only reason I still have most of my collection is because listing games online and shipping them out is a pain.

Thank you all for your continous support, it really means a lot! Especially when this ferret cannot really hold a conversation with normies.

That is also an excellent perk, I really need the opinions of expert regarding such topics. Old memes and early internet should get their own museum or something

I think I got some light of hope for my XBOX 360 games. 😊
After I stopped playing my XBOX 360 games due to my RGH machine couldn't play my original DDR UNIVERSE 3 but can be played on Original NTSC/J XBOX 360 machine, it gave me some hope to play all my XBOX 360 games.
And after some discussions and deliberation with game shop owner who have knowledge about XBOX 360 machine, I decided will pick XBOX 360 NTSC/J Original machine at weekend on this week.
Because I will play with NTSC/J machine, I quickly rebuild my XBOX 360 games that I will pick to will be playable on NTSC/J machine even I have to pick combination of USA or Asia or Japan version games as long they are detected on NTSC/J machine.
I cannot wait to able playing my DDR UNIVERSE 3, the long waited XBOX 360 game to play. 😃
And for my RGH machine, after some investigation about region compatibility from USA only XBOX 360 games, I only accumulated 7 USA only games with half of them hopefully will be detected on RGH machine.

On my way to completing crash bandicoot 1 100% (nsane trilogy) and am asking for advice on obtaining the coloured gems(obtain them withot dying). The jumping being different is making it so difficult.

@ComfyAko Yup, I know that their names are based off of plants. Also, 3 languages, that's a lot. I speak English and some small amounts of broken Japanese. I wanna be fleunt one day. I also wanna learn Arabic, Russian, and German, but I think my brain can't handle all of that.

@ComfyAko This site is the museum

@TeaCatherine I hate glasses I wanna break them in half. I keep complaining to Seef about them and he just finds it funny, and he wears glasses too and he keeps saying I'll get used to it.

I think I might actually be going insane. I’m considering migrating to the bird app so I can see current events and news updates, not much else, since I don’t watch television. The site doesn’t let you anonymously search for specific things anymore, so an account might be necessary. I also gotta support my favourite sports team, of course! I trust myself to not be a giant toolbox on that site like most people are. There’s no chance I get Tweeter Blue though, I’ve got money to spend on better things like 70 dollar Zelda games. Knowing me, I’ll forget I even have an account on there because I tend to forget login info easily.

At least users on there chronically make fun of people who pay for the site, that’s always entertaining, watching people bully one another 🫥

I wouldn’t want to leave other artists without a job 😀

@Eel Nah bro, the world needs your art skills. Also, good morning.

@Colonel_Mustache wait are you on that site?

Keep forgetting I ain't 12 anymore

Sometimes sacrifices need to be made for greatness to be realized.
