Is that why you chose to be a bronie?
No.

:fluttershy:

TIL sharing traumatic childhood experiences is a competitive event. Really...?

:005:
Logically, yes.

It's a simple one-up contest. The basis of these type of things are situations like...

Guy 1: 'Dood, one time I jumped 3 feet in the air!'

Guy 2: 'Dood, I can jump 3 and a half feet, watch me!'

Guy 3: 'If I wasn't lazy I would totally beat you at jumping!'

Guy 1: 'No way Dood'

Etc...

Shows up usually in childhood playground type scenarios, and continues on into teenage life and (apparently) adulthood. Usually seen in high school years as masculinity//alpha-ness (smarts, strength, looks, w/e) for guys and something else for girls, I have no idea. Not always verbal, in theory extremely less verbal for females after elementary school.

So yes, it is in nature a competitive event, although it serves double as a way for people to seek help//condolence about events in their life they find no way to bring up otherwise. But if it was simply that, then we would only condole the first person to bring it up, and it would be more normal.

... Guys, I think the discussion is getting out of hand. These are very personal things being posted in an extremely public place. Let's keep the dark stuff in the basement where it belongs.
This is a natural part of any community of people. I can't see any logical reason we should remove it.

Oh yay, childhood stories time.

You should see the knife holes in my bedroom of my old house, from when my drunk stepfather would make me stand up against the wall and he would throw knives at me.

When I was about 9, my dads friends grabbed me and kept me at their house for about a week because he owed them money.

My drunk mother beat my cat to death when I was a kid

I could go on and on

On the lighter side: Shiny Tornadus EV trained with perfect IVs acquired
Wait, so you lied to me?

How much can I actually trust you?

And I'm back to not liking Alberta again.

Why can't you guys just be nice?

You know what it feels like, having your conversation's censored?

When I look back into the thread and see no replies//people going randomly off topic, I have to wonder whether it's legitimate or people are just avoiding me.

Jesse!

It's okay I get ignored a lot... especially when I try to help the community find ways to grow and improve.

Seriously! Guess you've moved on to bigger and better things than BC and Zelda.

The Zelda boards are so dead now. The mod hasn't posted in months and nobody cares about vids or results.

No it isn't. And yeah, you do get ignored and that is bad. I would help but I am stuck here. Although, you usually get someone who will be like 'yo we need to do this' and then people do something maybe.

At least you don't have people deleting posts.

Sometimes we don't really know how to respond to you (and to others). If it helps, I read all of your posts. I just don't respond :(

Aw don't you know I'm a nice guy? I'd probably start a conversation with you although I can blab on and on... Or... we could just Brawl and have my Peach completely destroy you <3

I don't recall lying to you, being that I don't recall what we even talked about. If I had avoided any truth it would have been that I wasn't comfortable saying something of that magnitude to someone I don't know so well. But now I don't care about stuff like that, since it was a while ago.

So you would move off of the topic at hand? Or did you misunderstand me. You said you don't know how to respond, so I said 'how would you respond in a face-to-face conversation?'

I would prefer you straight up not talk about it than lie, fyi.

I want to have discretion here, but it was the only topic related to what I quoted that we talked about on our way to whatever the last phoenix i attended was.

It really depends on the topic. If you asked something really awkward like SKidd style then I'm not sure how I'd answer but if it were any regular topic I'm sure I could find a way to address you.

Oh, yeah I think I know what you mean. My apologies, I was probably just uncomfortable mentioning stuff like that. I will be more upfront.

If you're talking about my post it was nothing directed at you. Might as well and say you hate me instead of our whole scene since I was the only one who "censored". But in all seriousness, my post was nothing besides a ****ty joke.

Oh okay.

But no seriously, it's just really annoying, considering it happening multiple times. And how I was treated at the last Pheonix (not BADLY, but....).

Some P:M Thread said:
I really hope Pit is getting more kill power in other ways to make up for losing the power of his arrows and his evasive ability.

I understand he has the potential to be broken in his current state, and I have seen some very boring matches of nothing but keep away. But he needs something special to stand out as well.
If I was ever going to play it, I probably won't now.

big D wont grab me with both ic's

grabs are hard as **** to get in melee
LOOOOOL. Yeah give ICs 2nd(?) longest wave dash in the game and a pseudo jab to grab combo, and this means it's hard to land a grab? The **** man

Also, Arcansi, Pit is amazing in p:m and you should try him out.
