Germany
I am a German student programmer, and I love to talk about programming of most sorts. I also love Video Games, but not mainly because they're good for killing time, but rather about the depth some of them share. I am a would-be philosopher, seeing that I have very unique-ish views on life and death, the world and actually everything. I am a furious show-watcher, so to speak, and I am up-to-date on the following shows: Adventure Time, Regular Show, Gravity Falls, Mother-up!, Clarence, Chozen, HIMYM, Breaking Bad, Sonic for hire (Youtube Series), Bob's Burgers. I'd love talking about these shows with you as well as My Little Pony it's self. My favourite Mane 6 is Fluttershy, Mane 3 is Scootaloo and Background is Trixie.
Looking forward to meet you!

@redenchilada Okay: How did you manage to NOT find the second dungeon?
-
@redenchilada The thing is though: Was there a triforce in Crash? No? Case closed.
-
@redenchilada Well, then try to play wind waker, it's considered one of the best!
-
We're trying a new method. We don't know where in your dream this will show up. Anyway, the thing is, you've been in a coma for good 15 years now, and we miss you. Please wake up.

@flamingpandaomg Yeah I know. Oh boy, just remembered I never played it through, I stopped like at the second last dungeon because I lost interest. Damn attention span-
-
@cinnamonswirl @nerthos why do I love this so much?
-
@flamingpandaomg Or the Wind Waker reboot, and I wouldn't have thought but the Cat-Mario game is actually great too. Though I think the new DK sucks... Zombie U was nice, though not worth the buying. There are great party games too.
-
@nerthos I know, I just like throwing pieces of knowledge in there.
-
@nerthos Steam is the sole reason indie games had such a boom. Steam did it before it was cool
-
@flamingpandaomg I actually like the Wii U but it fails, big time.
-
@flamingpandaomg Well, the WiiU probably hadn't
-
@nerthos Though I have to point here that Valve had one of the biggest impacts on gaming, in the new era of gaming.
-
@nerthos Well I don't know enough about the ages of the viewers, so I can't argue with you there
-
@nerthos But Mario 64 had better sales
-
@nerthos Yeaaaah but it changed the gaming industry. In some way or anohter.
-
@redenchilada Blasphemy! Also I didn't think the Sega consoles had such a good start in Germany as the Nintendo ones did. On every yard sale I see tons of Nintendo stuff and very few Sega stuff. Been looking for Sega consoles some time now
-
@nerthos That might not be true if I look at the newest part of the generation
-
@redenchilada Yeah but... The Legend of Zelda and stuff...
-
@nerthos Well yeah, but not for it's time
-
@nerthos But I'm thrilled what happens now: Will gaming get less and less support until it's only entertainment as watching it? Or is it some sort of on and off switch, so the next next generation will play like hell again?
-
@redenchilada Because we obviously can ignore what Mario did for the gaming industry? Because we can ignore how Super Mario 64 brought us one of the first amazing 3D enviorments? Because we can ignore how Zelda influences works so much still today? Because we can ignore how Metroidvania is still a thing? This heart, it beats for ye olde heroes, which may make repetitive games nowadays, but they are good - viewed from a game design-ish position: Mario does everything right. It introduces new mechanics slow paced and in a good way.
-
@nerthos I thought you meant like a split in the society of gamers, like gamers and viewers are not the same people
-
@redenchilada No. And to be honest, I was never into Sega that much. I mean Nintendoes what Sega don't (This quote is historically incorrect, and I am sorry. But I grew up to love Nintendo, and I am raised to be very loyal. May they mess up nowadays, they still got at least one person who is thrilled to see what's next)
-
@nerthos Well, that could be true. But aren't the players mostly the viewers as well? Is there anything that proves that COD-Kiddie Tom(8) isn't xXxXxThomasTheapplesesKiller08xXxXx, the livestream viewer?
-
@techdisk Well a NES and it's games are quite still there, ready for you to buy. They aren't as expensive as a PS4, so there you go. I was born a year later, and didn't realise how big the thing of my Grandmother selling our NES was until it was too late. But I've still got 2 N64 and a 3DO (Don't tell me it's a bad console, it was great ;n;) lying here.
-
@nerthos Oh yeah, we here mostly skipped the arcade time, because I live in Germany, nuff said - no really. I can't think I have ever even heard of an arcade around here, nor did I get to hear any story from cross country friends about them. So Germany mostly got in at the NES stage - at least that's what I'm made to believe
-
@techdisk To comment that I'd have to know in what generation you were born in. But you're mostly too late to roam the middle ages and too early to explore the depth of space.
-
@nerthos Hmm, that's a way of defining a generation, but then again a generation could also be considered... damn it, no way to describe it while sounding bright xD Like within a family, that's a biological generation.
