Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@TeaCatherine yah it would probably be hard to make an ultimate tool that would check the specs of a device and say that something will work or not

@Zuljaras its very nice for a second try. If you are bothered by it, maybe try making some very light colouring first? Most watercolor paintings are not very saturated, I think

@Link-Hero Yeah, I just kind of assumed it'd be able to run ports of DS games, mostly visual novels so nothing too intensive where FPS would really matter. Before this I just assumed they couldn't even start up because that's what happened the one time I got something on Steam on a computer that couldn't run ii

@Eel
I don't really like to color with crayons.
It messed up my fingers, not really suitable for coloring the smaller parts of picture.
I prefer using color pencils to color.

Yep, last notification I got said the thread hadn’t been posted in all day. Oh well.

I think we can all relate to this

@Professor_Plumber Yeah, overall the backlog is a good problem to have. I just need to not let it stress me out.

@Tyranexx
I have some weird tendency in getting the games.
There are some games I like to get them but after got them, I rarely played them as I still not ready yet to have focus on the games I still not familiar yet.

I feels this so much.

@Professor_Plumber I love how this scene taken out of context legit look like he’s happy lol.

This academic year in my school, there are some unusual student's names for grade 1 such as Daenerys, Mirakela, Kelila, Shankara, Lucian, etc.
I have never heard kind of names like that before. 😅
Those kids was born from either year 2016 or 2017 and got named by parents with very unusual names.

@Anti-Matter I think I understand and call that the "excitement" factor. It's exciting to research and buy new games for our collections. Problem is, if there's already a pile of other games to play, or our attention gets grabbed by something else (games or otherwise), they can sit unplayed for a very long time.

On an unrelated note, I think I recall you've played one of the Dragon Quest Builders games? Was that the second one? I'm playing the Switch demo right now and really like it.

@Snatcher I just gotta keep reminding myself it's a hobby, not a job. I don't have to play all these games. They're here for entertainment. My list of unplayed (and finished!) games is for organizational purposes, not a laundry list. It's all starting to become a mantra.

@Professor_Plumber Part of the reason why I go dark after a certain point in my evening is to spend my time doing other things besides hopping around on the internet. It's really helped having a cutoff time.

@Tyranexx
I played both of Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2 on PS4. I have both of them too on Switch version but the PS4 version have stable 60 fps than Switch version (30 fps on DQB 2).
I have finished the storyline of Dragon Quest Builders 2, just only doing some optional missions to complete my tools option to carve the world.
I still in chapter 2 of Dragon Quest Builders 1 as the current mission I had was still quite confusing and not to mention there are tons of poison lake and poison land on chapter 2.
I still have a dream to build my beautiful town in DQB games but it seems quite difficult to build the entire town without serious planning.
It was not easy as building homes in The Sims games.

@Zuljaras the watercolor set I was watching jumped up in price, so out of spite I splurged and decided to order a Viviva Colors set 😤

The set that comes with a water brush and a wooden carry case.

No idea if they’re super good, but the colors look super vibrant in videos and the whole thing looks super fancy. So two supers would counter one super.

@Anti-Matter I don’t really have any crayons, but they’re just an easy way to get some coloring done. They’re not for any professional works or anything like that, but it can be relaxing to use them.

Guuuuuuuuys help I was at my aunts and she has a cat named Edward and I kid you not I said "Come here, Eagly" how did I say Eagly instead of Edward frhbfceuqycvtyvrcyvcuiq

@Sunsy Thanks for the reminder about the Mario movie. I still want to get it on blu-ray though!

That's cool, Sonic Adventure has some awesome music for sure. Same thing with Sonic Adventure 2. Gotcha, I did hear that GameStop used to be Funcoland, but I've not been there since I was way too young back then. Never even heard of Funcoland until way later. We've had stuff like Toys R Us, Blockbuster, and Hollywood Video (which replaced Blockbuster in my area).

Nice, that's one year after Doom hit shelves. Bungie was probably inspired by that game, and of course, we know that they would eventually make Halo.

Those are the Tenta Missiles that you're talking about, loved using that special in Splatoon 2. It's in Splatoon 3, as well.

I have at least one classic Sonic shirt in my closet. Yeah I think I noticed that, I have another Mickey Mouse tee that has his classic character design, which I also got for Christmas last year. It's cool they have everything in all sizes. Yeah Ruby could secretly be a Splatoon player, lol.

Yeah that would be cool to see the Sonic Advance games on the Switch's GBA catalog. I mean, they already got Sega Genesis games in the expansion pack, so why not some of Sega's GBA games as well? Not just the Sonic Advance games, but also stuff like Gunstar Super Heroes and Astro Boy: Omega Factor. That would be a good time to get the expansion pack, you're into Sonic after all. There probably will be a healthy amount of GBA content by then, too.

Apparently, Sleeping Beauty turned out to be a high-budget movie, and if I recall correctly, it was the first Disney film to be widescreen. I'm not really sure why it didn't make as much as the budget, because it's a very good movie. Disney had to make their next movie, 101 Dalmatians, have stuff like a simpler art style, and it did at least do really good in the box office at the time. I'll have to look into Ruby Gillman some more sometime, it's cool that you like it.

I'd love to learn more about the Peach game as well... though that might take a fair bit of time. I'm assuming that we'll learn more about it on the next Nintendo Direct. I like the whole stage play aesthetic! Wonder what worlds Peach would visit in her game. Nintendo also announced the wave 5 courses for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and one of its courses is one I've been wanting for a long time! Really glad that Daisy Cruiser made a comeback, and to celebrate I'm gonna be playing as Daisy in MK8D for a good while. Daisy's cool anyway, lol.

@Tyranexx You're gonna want to do that, upgrading your armor is gonna help you quite a lot. Yeah, a lot of those enemies hit really hard, and I've had my fair share of deaths during the early portion of the game too. We only get 3 hearts in the beginning after all. At least it gets easier the more hearts you get and the more food you prep before taking on a boss or something.

Ohhh, gotcha. I get a bit nervous in situations like these as well. I've not done drama club or public speaking, but I did take an acting class, where I'd perform with other students and stuff like that. Yeah... sports is probably my least played genre. I even tried a couple sports games my dad had for our SNES, but I could never get into them.

Yeah me too, I do try to be careful when I play games like this. Turn-based strategy games really get me to think about what I wanna do, lol. Ah, it's ok, I'm not sure if I can handle the cold, lol. Plus I still wanna play stuff like Zelda and Mario Kart.

@Professor_Plumber I've actually been thinking of heading back to Mario Kart recently. Wave 5's courses just got announced so I may as well practice before then.

@Professor_Plumber Thankfully, my aunt was outside, so no one was there to question me besides for the cats

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko
“Why does she think I’m an eagle”- Edward, probably.

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko now you have to commit to the nickname or else the cat will get suspicious

@Eel Noooo I can't call him Eagly my aunt will question me

@Professor_Plumber

Eagly, I choose you!!

Being serious, I think it’s from peacemaker.

I always kind of read it as “eagle eye”
