Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

People on the last page were saying something about not having much to talk about on this thread lately, so I've got a conversation starter: what did y'all have for lunch today (or did you skip lunch)?

I'll start: I had oven cooked frozen corn dogs, and grapes, and for my beverage I had sweet tea. For lunchtime TV, I watched an episode of an anime called Hayate the Combat Butler.

@Nep-Nep-Freak I'm on lunch break at work right now, having a slice of Pizza, with Water to drink!

@CaleBoi25 I write a lot of my responses essay-like haha, sorry! I ramble a ton when I talk on here and I usually like describing stuff, though I message way less because I don’t really have anything to say and can’t really join in on Switch 2 conversations. Maybe I’ll just need to shorten my responses and make them snappy…

Lunch? What's that?

Yea. I basically fished an old reply out as a reminder of what we were talking about. (Me an Pastellioli.)

This past day had me catch up on anime, join VC, as well as play Dark Souls and FF7 Rebirth.
Honestly, first decent day I've had in a while.

@Pastellioli @Mariotag No, you guys are all good! I'll keep my own message short so you're free to ramble XD

@Pastellioli I totally forgot to send you my watercolor art lol! I could only find these two, they are a sushi platter and a cuttlefish, respectively. I entered both in a contest - the Sushi placed fifth! Sadly, my Cuttlefish didn't care so well; the competition was much steeper that year.

@CaleBoi25 They are pretty good! I’m pretty terrible at watercolor compared to dry material, you did a fantastic job! I really like the coloring on the chopsticks in the sushi painting, it also kind of looks like there’s lighting on it, especially the red parts of the chopsticks, and I also like how the darker orange stripes on the cuttlefish pop on top of the lighter orange! Again, really good paintings!

@Pastellioli Thanks! I'm pretty proud of the lighting on the sushi one! Also, if you were wondering, yes, that is what cuttlefish eyes look like IRL!

These look amazing

@Pastellioli I did read your whole reply, but I couldn't really add to some things from your last post. Plus I got a bit burnt out from those longer replies I did in this thread, lol... so I kind of want to make my posts short and sweet. You didn't do anything wrong, just so you know.

Yep, roller coasters are incredibly fast for sure. I do get the appeal of them, I do know someone on the Nintendo Life community who enjoys them actually, they're just not for me. That's cool, I've finished Dark Moon on the 3DS years ago and I do remember liking it. Out of all the classic game apps on NSO, I've played the SNES, N64, and GBA the most.

@JaxonH Late reply, but I love those pics you took! Thanks for sharing with us.

@CaleBoi25 Great watercolor pics! I like the shadows you've done on the sushi one.

@D-Star92,

"Yep, roller coasters are incredibly fast for sure. I do get the appeal of them, I do know someone on the Nintendo Life community who enjoys them actually, they're just not for me."

They aren't for me either, friend 😉. I've only ever ridden ones that are classified as "kiddy" at Disney World and Cedar Point, and not often either. This is literally me when I'm riding a kiddy coaster:

Video games over roller coasters any day of the week.

Also, @CaleBoi25, I love those pictures you made too. I couldn't draw something like that to save my life 😅.

@Nep-Nep-Freak Yeah, I've been on a full-fledged wooden roller coaster when I was 7 or 8, and I hated it. It turned me away from amusement parks for the longest time, actually. I don't mind visiting them now, I just can't go on anything too extreme since I'm very sensitive to speed and heights.

@D-Star92 I’ll just kept my replies here shorter then, already had a feeling they were too long! If I am being honest, I also am getting burnt out from reading and typing long replies as well…I’ll just drop some of the topics I mentioned in my last reply and only reply to a few.

Yeah, I do get why roller coasters are appealing, it’s exciting to go at such a fast speed, but I honestly wouldn’t ever wanna ride one. If I remember, isn’t there some park ride where you sit strapped onto this seat that goes high and then drops down? I also am kind of afraid of those too like roller coasters.

Yeah, it’s been a while since I played Dark Moon (or any 3DS game really) but I really liked that one. I played the SNES and N64 games the most on NSO. Can’t really remember what my most played titles were, but I recall the Donkey Kong Country games being my most played on the SNES. Banjo-Kazooie was my most played on the N64 app, unsurprisingly!

@Nep-Nep-Freak @Eel @D-Star92 Thank you all! 💚

Also, @/NepNep, Have you ever heard about the "conspiracy" about the screaming sheep? 👀 Basically, it's a goat, not a sheep, and it's a royalty-free sound effect layered on top! The more you know, and all that.

@Pastellioli All righty. Yeah... I don't think I want to go on one again, lol. I kind of regret going on one at such a young age... really wish I hadn't thought of going on that ride and went on something else instead. I know it was years ago, but I'm still upset about that to this day. It turned me away from theme parks back then. I know what kind of ride you're talking about, those tower rides. Knoebels, a park that I visited, has one. I didn't go on one because of how scary they look to me.

Gotcha, I played the DKC games quite a lot on NSO as well... same with the Mario games of course. If I recall correctly, Super Mario 64 was my most played N64 game on NSO. I'm thinking of playing through Paper Mario as well... it's been ages since I last played it.

@CaleBoi25 You're welcome. I'll let you folks know when I do get a watercolor set... hopefully I'll make a good piece from it!

I watched that Jaiden Animation video about how modern tech and the like has become too obnoxious and its made me think. Among my family, I think I'm considered the most tech knowledgeable person, but while that's true, I'm also disinterested in most newer tech. I only got a smart phone out of necessity, eventually, I don't get into streaming services most times, I don't pay attention to the newest tech too often outside of gaming (and even there I'm increasingly avoiding buying new systems or games). I don't know what new tech I'd even need or especially want anymore, and with the way every other trend seems like a giant scam nowadays, I feel that's barely even subjective, I'm just correct.

A lot of its also just like now that I have money earned and to worry about, I don't wanna spend it most times. I will hoard my "wealth" like a dragon, especially since I do not trust anything will be affordable for most people in the relative near future.

@kkslider5552000 i got a cheap mp3 player that holds all my music on it. It works like an ipod Classic too!

@SegaDude113 I wish I still had my old MP3 player, but it broke like 2 years in for some reason.

I have an iPod shuffle (the little square one) that still works and I treat it like a museum treasure.

The last survivor of a bygone era.
