Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Been a while since I last drew... I started practicing for my next holiday drawing. Wish me luck, everyone!

@Tyranexx Oh gotcha, that's awesome you got the certificate. There were advanced C++ courses for me, but gosh, were they tough. And I thought the introductory C++ course was hard enough. I actually did pretty decent in them, but yeah... they were a bit draining for me, lol. I guess everyone has different experiences with programming, and literally any other field/subject too. (As mentioned before, I'm better at artwork than programming.) That's cool, was that a CGI animation class you took? That's what it sounds like to me. I also loved The Lion King when I was a tot. I've watched that movie so many times... our VHS tape got plenty of use because of that! Lol, that's cool, so you've made "The Horse King," so to speak? XD That's cool, I don't recall playing with that 101 Dalmatians interactive storybook. That was another movie I've seen plenty of times when I was very young. Actually, that might have been the first movie I've ever seen.

I've never actually played Minecraft, but I certainly know of it. I've seen my younger brother play it once. Yeah, I probably wouldn't be able to get into it nowadays, but I could see myself liking it quite a bit if I were a kid. I have a few cousins who like Minecraft, as well. Yeah, Superstar Saga is a fantastic game, and I thought Partners in Time was pretty good. I do recall it was more linear than the other Mario & Luigi games.

I've also played Super Mario Run and Fire Emblem Heroes, they were pretty decent from what I've played. I also liked Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp, that was fun for a fair while and was actually pretty good for a mobile game. Though, I did eventually stop, and then New Horizons came out and I played the living heck out of that. Yeah... Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a much, much better game. if there's anything Mario Kart Tour proved, it's that Mario Kart and touch screen controls just don't mix. It's so much better as a console game. I do like the many alternate costumes, at least... that's something I'd like to see for Mario Kart 9, or whatever Nintendo eventually decides to call it.

I just started “World of Light”, wish me luck, okay?

@Moffo Oh, love Terraria, I've been playing it on and off for years. Got the mobile version on my tablet whilst Ocram was still the final boss and now I've got it on my laptop and my bro's got a physical for Switch. Sort of put Undertale on the backburner for a while because I got stuck on Mettaton, any tips would be appreciated.

Yo!
I have watched Trolls Band Together at my local Cinema XXI for the SIXTH times.

Last movie Paw Patrol Mighty Movie was FIVE times I watched.
Super Mario movie was FOUR time.
Next movie I will watch is Migration.
But I'm not really sure that movie will be good enough so I will give it a try for one time.

@EllaTheQueen6 got another one for your list - Sky Odyssey. Chances of getting it are low since maybe 3 people know about the existence of it, but it's a great game

@Moffo Wait, I need to get my ratings up? Dang it, guess I have to stop eating garbage then. Yeah, I think I threw everything away, oops. Oh, also surely weapons don't matter much if I'm sparing everyone?

So far I've rescued Mario, Marth, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong and Duck Hunt.

@TeaCatherine What seems to be the problem with Metaton? I finished it 2 times but it was a while ago so Idk if I can be of help. Items like consumables help a lot

@IceDomino naisu! How do you like it so far?

Ok time for sleep, Fluffy Dreams Everyone!

@Princess_Lilly Good so far, I’ve been playing on Very Easy. My plan is to rescue five fighters a day, so by New Year’s Eve I’ll be finished.

@Moffo Okay, right.
@Princess_Lilly The problem seems to be that I was doing the opposite of what I was supposed to be doing.
'Night all.

I'm starting the first chapter of "Kid Icarus: Uprising", wish me luck!

Does anyone else have issues with their notifications taking them to the most random places in a topic? Honestly it's pretty annoying.

@Eagly_lmtd_xmasskin NGL, your username changes make it interesting to respond to you on the fly. XD At least I'm entertained. Honestly it's more to do with I don't pick up hardware when it first releases - the inevitable supply/demand issues aside - since I prefer to give companies time to iron out any potential crazy hardware or software issues first. Beta testing is a thing, usually a ton with many companies. But you cannot account for every and all scenarios once a product is in customers' hands. This is something I run into with my own job, which means bug fixes.

Gotcha, I'll stay away from the Mwamba S Rank cutscene. I definitely, positively, seriously won't search for it. (I know you jest with the other games, but TBH I'd probably jump at both...but wait a bit for the Mario Odyssey 2 sequel if that will indeed be a thing....)

@MarioLover92 Thanks! Honestly I did that certificate for an extra year after getting my 2 year programming degree since I wasn't fully sure if I wanted to go the IT route; I was considering a couple paths related to veterinary. I think I would've liked the challenge of those C++ courses...especially since I'm half wanting to mess with the language on my own again. I'd have to start almost from the beginning since it's been so long though. It wasn't quite that an advanced animation class, more creating and interacting with animations in Maya (At the time at least, you had to pay for this software; I'm not sure if the college had educational versions or if they actually paid for the licenses). We were exposed to Blender but didn't spend much time in it. This was after I left, but I do think one of the classes in the course started experimenting with VR and green screens. I probably watched The Lion King a ton of times...same with many other Disney movies lol. I sorta wish I still had "The Horse King" drawings, but those are lost to time lol. I also really liked 101 Dalmations, and it doesn't surprise me if it was an earlier Disney movie for you; I believe it originally released around 1960ish? Edit: early 1961.

Years down the line if my now-infant nephew gets into Minecraft or something similar, I'd at least try the games out and try to play with him. XD I loved the BeanBean Kingdom in Superstar Saga, and Peach's messed-up words in general lol. Partners In Time was wonderfully dark, but some of the combat with the babies and a couple of sections when they split up felt forced. Still a pretty fun game though, even if I did run into a softlock glitch earlier on; I was on a plane at the time too, so I couldn't exactly look up what was wrong. Thankfully a reload fixed everything.

I'd half like to go back to Fire Emblem Heroes if I'm on a trip sometime, just for something to mess around with. I did play it for a bit and just got bored with the proceedings. I stay away from anything Animal Crossing, not because I don't think I'll like it....I'm more concerned about being sucked in and becoming obsessive with my town/island/whatever and feeling obligated to check things all the time. I honestly fail to see how many racing games with a view/format like Mario Kart would translate very well onto mobile devices, but then again I don't touch the genre much outside of MK and a couple old arcade racers I'm nostalgic for. I'm sure there will be a new main series Mario Kart eventually, but MK8D's success tells me that probably won't really happen for a little while yet. Nintendo is full of surprises though!

Posting a fake logo everday till’ Christmas - Day 5

Had some fun making this one
Tour is (sadly) deemed MK9 by Nintendo, so the next entry is Mario Kart 10.

@DiamondCore Elon strikes again!

@IceDomino oh it seems you have it all plannex out! Is this your first playthrough?

@Moffo yes I have! It's a great game. I take it you are a fan as well?

@TeaCatherine doing opposite of what you were doing? Better in video game than in real life dont worry you'll get through it, I believe in you

@Moffo 2 years sounds like such a long time, and then I realize it was in 2021, which I still think of as of future.

Time is a dreadful foe indeed.

Ive been waiting for chapter 3 of deltarune for some time now, I still remember that cliffhanger.

@Princess_Lilly Now I'm drinking too much water, my stomach hurts everyday now
Thy doesn't understand

@EllaTheQueen6 Careful you don't die of overhydration.

@TeaCatherine I won't
Also I finally got my brother's Christmas present, all of the Back to The Future movies on DVD

@EllaTheQueen6 Ah, a classic. Yeah, I've got presents for all my siblings but I still need to get my brother a birthday present. Probably just gonna get him something on the Switch eshop.
