Rule #1 of humanity: "some ****face actually believes it. No exceptions."



A Modest Proposal nearly backfired horrendously as well. People actually were considering following it, remember.
The literal DEFINITION of satire is exaggerating other people's ACTUAL MORONIC/ABSURD BELIEFS for the purpose of humor or criticism.
By saying that someone actual believes it just SUPPORTS my point that satire exists.
Here, I'll even copy paste the definition:
Satire = The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Anyways...

What are the rest of you up to right now?
What did I miss?

Looking at Cobalsh's . . .Vegeta?. . . sig reminded me of something.

Anyone else think it's completely ridiculous that 90% of sentient alien life in the media is humanoid?
I know in cases like Star Trek it's for the sake of convenience and allegory, but most other places it just seems like people can't grasp the idea of sentient life not looking human. Heck, I draw anthropomorphic lizard people for fun and it's still kind of a stretch.

It's the whole reason why Norwegian aliens will always strike me as horribly fake.


Oh, nice. I started typing this on the computer and it stayed in the post area on my PS3.

This board is much easier to load on my PS3 in the morning and afternoon. And by easier to load I mean I can actually post, switch pages, and not have to reboot my PS3 every other time I try to view the site.

Star Hill. Why do you ask?
Good, I just got the funeral info so I have to see if I can even go because of class. But I am felling alright today, thanks for asking~

Maybe he doesn't see him fitting since, you know, Geno isnt NINTENDOS ip, its Squares and lord knows if they even want to be associated with Smash
And even worse, he's not even owned by Nintendo.
He is not owned by square enix any more he is now owned by alphadream (maybe nintendo) and they are planning to bring him back

Yeah, I find it unimaginative too.

Problem is, it's rather hard to imagine a more perfect body type for use of tools and machines, and second, humanoid aliens are easier to animate/act and relate to. Most designer don't/can't spend the time thinking up completely novel alien body types which would also have to appear civilised.

Almost all aliens in media can be reduced to be based on some earthly creature or another.

3 stock > 2 stock. Screw the FG ruleset.
anyways anything new
The amount of tired that I am feeling today is more tired than I have ever tireded before in my life.
I have reached a new level of tired, breaching the boundary known as tired and ascending to my Super Tired form.

Good god, I suck at politic-related stuff.
It is probably my 2nd least-favorite school topic.
#1 being alternate languages like French.

I just wanna go home and get Mario Kart 8, damnit.

Just you wait... once you get MK8, prepare for the Linkfest, if there's any, of course.

Now all we need is somehow the chance to get Geno in a Mario & Luigi game that's releasing near/around Smash 5 (I treat Smash U and 3DS as a single "Smash 4" unit)'s Release so we can get the promotion character. :troll:

I don't think Geno is significant enough to be added into the roster, but that's just me. Square still owns him. :troll:

I'm probably gonna rock Tanooki Mario, Lemmy & Dry Bowser once I get the corresponding DLC, w/ Tanooki being my main man.
Because when you have stats specifically for you (Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach are the only characters in their own weight class, w/ Cat Peach being the lightest of all the Mediums and Tanooki Mario being inbetween Mario/Luigi/Mii and Peach/Yoshi/Daisy in terms of stats) it's a special snowflake.

Whenever I mention that I like FemTwo more than old movie Mewtwo, there are always very harsh reactions.

It's both sad and funny.


FemTwo for Smash, new main all the way.

I think it would be best if a creature you almost CAN'T relate to at first showed up in a Science Fiction/Fantasy work and was actually benevolent, capable of communicating immediately, and didn't end up getting killed somehow. Like, something really creepy or difficult to identify as alive with full blown blue and orange morality in a non-random sort of way. Make it a main character and not stupidly powerful, too. That would be amazing.

There is no such thing as Femtwo, its mewto and will always be just mewtwo. Just because the changed does not mean its female now, it ****ing has no gender

I only use Shy Guy as that's the character I use in MK7.

Yes, as well as the 7 Tired Stars, The 8 Tired Hearts, the 7 Tired Spirits, and the 7 Tiredballs.
And now I can power up to my ultimate form, SUPER TIRED 3.
And every time you wake me up, I'll just come back MORE TIRED THAN BEFORE.
