“Recent allegations within Nintendo regarding the promised Super Smash Bros. Infinite Deluxe has people talking with one insider claiming that Nintendo is either planning or has already scrapped the plans to focus on NintenHome, a newly revealed line of smartphone features that ties in Nintendo properties with services akin to Google’s Alexa with products ranging from home security, streaming, heating and cooling, and more. Fans are split from the news and feels that Nintendo should still produce the promises Deluxe Edition as they promised. What are your feelings concerning the possible scraping of the Deluxe Edition of the critically acclaimed 20XX game which saw characters like Waluigi, Crash, Dr. Eggman, Doomslayer, Lara Croft, and more included? Do you think it’s a good idea for Nintendo to halt development of the project or should it continue?

“Super Smash Bros. Infinite Definitive Edition on Potential Life Support”

According to an insider, due to a reshuffling at Nintendo and prioritizing producer, the development Definitive Edition of Super Smash Bros. Infinite has been either pushed back or flat out shelved. The game currently is in development hell due to a number of license issues and Nintendo focusing on developing toiletry products based on their famous characters. How do you feel about the possibility of us not getting the promised Definitive Edition of the Smash that topped them all, Super Smash Bros. Infinite? We hear at Nintendo Life are disappointed by this news but hold onto hope that Nintendo can deliver and bring this history of gaming to a new era.

There is an arrest warrant out for Linkmain-maybe for 200 counts of drive-by liking, 120 counts of profile vandalism, 80 counts of lining without a license, and 12 counts of aggravated menacing. If you see this individual, please contact the nearest SBM. He is considered armed and likeable.

I had this dream last where a Romanian guy charged cola-cola £36.90 from some randos house to change their logo to that of a sink written in barely-spoken English or continued usage of the current logo would become illegal.

Today was sunny with a slight chemical smell to the air.

I can understand why people like the liminal space aesthetic. How the TVA in Loki one such example that I enjoy about it but the Backsrooms concept doesn’t. Not the idea of them but the aesthetic. With that being said, I don’t consider myself a fan or appreciator of this aesthetic. However, as far back as I can remember, I find a certain unexplainable gravitation to the idea of outside liminal space. In particular, large squares of empty space with little nature as possible. The definition for me is the Palace at Versailles



I love the concept of a stretch of space that has a particular yet unstated purpose that stretches our view and fills us with coldness that what our hand have wrought will continue to stay here long after we perish. There’s something about an expansive span of concrete with edges of the natural or human world on the outskirts that is find unsettling yet satisfying. The outside world makes this particular aesthetic set apart from liminal spaces found inside. Other examples included an abnormally wide courtyard of a hotel or school, a parking lot devoid of cars or a highway for that matter, an empty swimming pool, or this one park I would go to which had three large pathways next to eachother but with each pathway bus extend by planters of underwater Ed bushes and foliage.

I am intensely drawn to this aesthetic to the point i find myself in such places in my dreams or when I’m feeling dread, I picture them without thinking about it

I really wish I had the wherewithal to seclude myself on a semi-large plot of land to cultivate for my own personal wants and needs and to no longer be subservient to social and mandatory duties and norms. I know I’m physically and mentally capable of it but actually the process of getting land and building on it seems to be the hardest thing. Eventually, my dream is to cut myself from the rest of society and live a secluded and isolated life with me and my ranch animals with everyday spent cultivating the land and providing for myself.

Sadly, that will probably never happen. Or I need lots of money to ensure that lifestyle.

There was a guy in my Life Essentials class in senior year who everyone hated. He was a real piece of **** that even the teacher went out to hate in. In truth, he was a wanna-be tough guy from Smalltown, USA. He would be mean to kids but when they would dish it back out; he would let out a high pitch scream and run away. He also drew criticism as he was a white kid with glasses, braces, had a squeaky voice, and yet dressed in baggy clothing and used the N-word and gang signs. Anyways, the class was designed to give us life skills to use after graduating. He kept saying he wanted a job where people didn’t boss him around. The teacher would always half-troll him about it. Our final exam as it was a semester class was to present why we to go into this job and how it would benefit us. He eventually chose military and when asked why he chose it; he said he would be bossed around. When the teacher called him out on it, he said he will be jumping right into upper ranks due to his skills, his dad being a hunter, and playing CoD. He said to keep our eye peels as he will be both a five star general and a world renowned rapper.

Well, I caught up with someone who knows him and apparently he lasted less than a couple of months in boot camp cause he left as it was too stressful and then joined Amazon but left as that was too stressful and tough. This someone said he left those places cause he didn’t like people telling him what to do and the were too many rules.

Fast forward a several years to now, this person told me to make sure ends meet; he resorted to theft and crime. He’s currently in prison for armed robbery with a kitchen knife. He tried to rob a convenience store and made off with $75 on a bike but quickly got apprehended.

On one hand, he’s in his own personal hell cause he’s in a place where he’s being told what to do but on the other hand, he finally has a thug life as he kept saying how ghetto and thug he was despite living in a very big voice cause his parents were dentists.

He did annoy me a lot cause I did try to pay attention in class and learn stuff but his antics kept causing the teacher to stop the class to yell at him. I found this both satisfying and amusing, but sad despite the headache he put me through in class.

My hot take:

The earth is indeed flat but the inside of the earth is round while the galaxy is a triangle.

I find it ironic that a lot of my smash roster newcomers picks are main characters from popular franchises but my Marvel vs Capcom roster newcomer picks tends to include low ball, obscure gems from both companies.

Please give mod will no abuze power, and will no ban member me not like

2022 was probably one of my worse years in a while. Maybe since 2015. 2023 will probably be more of the same but a more gradual decline rather than an earth shattering freefall drop overnight like early 2022 was. Still, I have to wonder how it’s gonna go since, currently, the highlight of 2023 was standing in line at McDonalds after grabbing a Door Dash order that I ordered but McDonalds got it wrong so I came in to get my original order free only for a 70ish year old man to come up and hit on me by asking where I live and work. He said I have perfect love handles. All the while, I’m trying to inch away while looking playing Genshin as he watched.

Yeah for 2023.

Pokelego999 performed “Like Barrage”. It hit 4 times. It was super effective.

And with that, after 2 years and 10-some days, Super Smash Bros. Infinite is finally finished...finally....finished.

Hello, fellow Smodder. Shall we go about doing some… smodding?

Your foray into Smashboards history through your concerted efforts of “Iceberg Video” had good intentions but failed to incapsulate the insanity that is the realm of Smashboards. Come, let us discuss this matter further so I may enlighten you to the sordid and bloodied history of this fair site so that your next endeavor better chronicles our denizens insanity.

I understand that for some, Marvel and the MCU has long out-lived it's appeal with, perhaps,people experienced fatigue in regards to superhero movies. I didn't mind Phase 4 that much with some huge titles, for me, being Loki, Black Widow, Shang-chi, Moon Knight, Multiverse of Madness, and Werewolf by Midnight. I have yet to see Wakanda Forever andlooking forward to Quantumania. I even enjoyed Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk, Love and Thunder, and Hawkeye. I enjoyed Enternals based on what happened near the end of the movie and it;s reprocussions thereafter - more so for it's world building abilities. Likewise, She-hulk's ability to connect the dots between normal humanity to the superhero/enhanced individuals population isalso intriguing. I mean, people in the MCU must have huge PTSD and mental issues stemming from repeating alien invasions, a gigantic space god appearing out of nowhere, hi tech spacecraft, terrorism, robots, etc. I wouldn't even mind a story exploring how all of these incidents are affected non-enhanced people.

I am straying from my original intention though in that some call MCU purely a "money maker" and has destroyed the creative liscenses and artistic appeal of these treasured franchises. We now longer consider Iron Man as we know him through the comic book/graphic novel medium but for his MCU appearance and this will continue as younger audiences become more attached to the MCU counterparts rather than the printed medium that my generation grew up to know. That being as it may, perhaps this is the needed step in the evolutionary process for this medium. Yes, it is become increasinly commercialized but....so is everything else. When I was a kid, video games and anime were for nerds. I was beat up for liking Dragon Ball Z. Now, it is common place. I understand misgivings for the MCU being this 'overbloated magnate" for cinema; especially the superhero genre but this should be expected based on the general evolution of this sort of medium. I appreciate what Marvel and, by extention Disney, is doing for the Marvel IP's and, as a long time fan of Marvel, I do have high hopes for future movies. To be able to relive the pages and experience the thrill I had when I first read Iron Man, Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, etc is amazing to me.

Anyways, that is my rant. Basically, I love the MCU and everything it brings including the bad. I enjoy most of the movies that comes out of them or appreciate how they contribute to the general lore and world building. Rumors about New World Order finally bringing adamantium to the equation, Sentry being in Thunderbolts, Young Avengers, etc REALLY has me intrigued and I am not ashamed to admit this. I love the MCU for all that it is and I don't think that will ever change.

My dreams tends to be really mundane. At work, at home, making toast, etc. I rarely remember them which is fine. Last night though, I was trying to find a plane ticket that accidentally got thrown away in the garbage. I was searching for it and then started to howl spontaneously. I heard an answering howl so I howled again. From down the street came three huge black wolves running at me. I started screaming “Here kitty cats!” but then woke up right when they closed on me.

I woke up with that strange post-nightmare tingly feeling despite the fact I felt happy to see the large black wolves. Odd

Creation thread idea....

"Create a Smash Bros. Forum"

For the first time in my life, I am not celebrating Christmas this year. No presents, no tree, no visiting family, none of it. I have avoided most of the trappings of Christmas outside of social and career obligations (aka having to hear christma music at the store)and any attempt at holiday merriment is crushed by complete silence. I avoided saying our usual wintery greetings to people and any attempt at holiday merriment is crushed by complete silence. I am just staying inside (no small thanks to this storm). I didn't ask for anything nor did I give anything nor will I see anyone. Complete and utter freedom from this holiday nonsense. It is quite liberating to say the least.

I had a chat with Elon. We had a fun talk and got some info from him. Might do a news article about it but he suddenly got all ego'y on me.

Me debating the logistics and realism of create a book that focuses on the regions of the Pokemon world with Pokedex enclopedias in the form of travel/hisotical guides but also expanding to create my created regions.......

Head explodes

If you ever see a lost and/or injured puppy or kitten; kick it because it could be a demonic demon in disguise and they prey on the poor and innocent souls of our communities.

I firmly believe the Elden Ring and God of War desered those awards. I am just a bit biffed Elden Ring did get more awards than GotY....still a huge achievement for an amazing game.
