I want to be booped by Sombra.

Something tells me she's going to be a bit of a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Burruni]

That's not a Digimon, actually.

Just a mook summoned by this guy.

Spoiler

But it's a monster.
A presumably digital one at that.
Created by another digimon or no, I think it counts.

She looks like she'll be fun to play as. But a challenge to master.

I just read her abilities and holy ****. She's gonna get so many complaints and nerfed fast. I'm thinking her abilities counters are gonna be hella reload times to make her not effect the course of a match too much.

Good to know her and Lea getting keyblades were so important and the training under Yen Sid from the DDD epilogue is going to matter as much as Raven's "Yang, we have a LOT to talk about" from RWBY V2.

What do you mean?

Kairi is going to be one of the Guardians of Light.

It's likely they aren't discussing the specifics of her role yet as it's probably way too spoiler heavy.

Sora/Donald/Goofy setting off is obviously something they can talk about, and Riku and Mickey going off was also pretty obvious given that Riku is officially a Master now (and Mickey has always been his wing-man when Sora's not around).

My guess is that Kairi will have a huge role later in the game (most likely saving Sora's butt, or she'll be required to bring Ventus and Terra back). It's also worth noting that the entirety of 0.2 BBS is basically Mickey telling the story of him meeting Aqua in the Realm of Darkness, and he is specifically telling it to Riku and Kairi, but not Sora. So obviously she has some importance going forward.

So now that Sombra is revealed we have defense Symmetra and then Doomfist to look forward to.

THOUGHTS ON STUFF
Wonder Woman trailer: Please don't try and cram Ares into this movie. I get it's likely, what with it being WW1 and all, but tbh, there's so many other things going on (or at least it looks that way), that putting a main villain who we have no time to meet and learn about, would just ruin the movie. The main villains should be the Germans, no specific baddie. Other than that hope, looking really well done.
Series of Unfortunate Events: I'm very happy with how this looks, it's one of my favorite book series. No surprise NPH is a good Olaf, the guy is Doctor Horrible (which is one of the best things ever).
Sombra: Man she's gonna become the pre-pacth diddy or bayo of overwatch, since she can hack quite a few interesting things from other characters.
Pokemon Generations: **** YES MY BOY GIRATINA IS IN THE HOUSE.
Took him long enough, but still worth it.
I'm very happy with this episode, it and The Vision are my favorite episodes by far.

Every malinvestment results in a market correction.
We have more economic malinvestment than ever in the history of the world.
The correction will be far larger than any before.
F A C T

It's more about scale this time around. Sure, there's been corruption and malinvestment and societal disorder before, but not of this magnitude.

What did that have to do with my original post?

I am now picturing trying to eat that delicious food and play Pokemon Sun at the same time. I'm not sure anyone would let me or if the attempt would be even remotely successful, but having to choose between one good thing or another seems a little sad.

. . .Between the two choices Pokemon within a week of release would probably win, no kidding, but eating's kind of mandatory and if the time is seasonal than you may as well have delicious stuffing.

Also playing Pokemon while leaving the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade muted in the background so you can have double the Pokemon when the Pikachu balloon passes by. It never times out right for me but it seems like the proper thing to do in this situation.

Thanksgiving is nothing but stressful to me. I'll take moon over washing a bunch is dishes and all that crappy thankgiving stuff

I suppose the more relevant part I didn't quote was "People labeling eachother isn't a new concept. It's a timeless behaviour. The labels themselves are what change."
I should've said something like "You're right, it's timeless, but the amount of it, the amount of social disharmony and violence towards civility (and its necessary liberty) is of a degree that it has never been before."

Well Sombra's hack ability has a 12 second cool down so it won't be too bad.

I could see them bump it up to 15 seconds potentially.

 

[A Distant Demon]

The more Splatoon I play the more fun I have and the more I regret putting it down.


Today I went back to the Splat Charger since I had only done the Splattershot before. After a really rough start I started to make some okay shots and started to have fun ESPECIALLY at the end when I really started to abuse my range. Also had a fun scenario.

• i was 0/4 and we spent the whole match losing and basically at spawn.
• i kill one guy but another 2 guys jumped to him
• killed the first and didnt notice the second
• proceed to kill second with a clutch 180 shot
• 2 MORE PEOPLE HAD JUMPED TO THEM
• kill them both
• win the game because the last 20 seconds of the game everyone on their team was doing nothing but jump and die

10/10

Doomfist? Sauce?

 

[praline]

Doomfist? Sauce?

It's not confirmed but it seems the most likely since Ana and Sombra both were referenced multiple times in the game and are playable and Doomfist is the last one that got referenced a lot so he just makes sense.

 

[Aurane]

No matter what game it is, a new character always seems to immediately be assumed broken doesn't it?

Ah, I was confused because you used economic terms.

But I still disagree I think it's just shifted from labeling people terms for the oppressed to shut them out, to now shutting people out by labeling them an oppressor. That's the biggest shift, though some things are still very much the same, people shutting people out just for their ideologies alone has been around consistently too. At the core of the human mind we still have brains adapted to the tribal age, which is why it's so necessary to take out anyone on whatever other 'side' in our minds, that's why I think we have such a us versus them mentality.

And you're correct about the U.S.A. being in a large time of social disharmony, however, something to keep in mind though is that thinks to gigantic blow up of social media, now you can actually see what the everyday person thinks. But the way people think and behave hasn't changed, people haven't become worse at arguing or anything like that. People always love to do quick little ***** talk rather than have a constructive argument. You'll hardly ever see a street fight talked out like a constructed debate, of course it's most likely to be two people cursing each other out.

Even that aside, you kind all kinds of buzzwords from all sorts of eras, some still being used to this day.

 

[Curious Villager]

Tomorrow, Rate Their Chances will be rating the concept of each of the big three Nintendo franchises (Mario, Zelda, Pokemon) getting not one, but at least TWO newcomers in Smash 5. One of the first things to come to my mind was how Zelda would be lucky to even get one.

I think Zelda is fine the way it is, you have the triforce trio, the child Link + Sheik. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Ganon in his classic pig wizard form though.

Mario will probably stay at where it is right now. I suppose it can probably gain or lose one though depending on the circumstances (I won't point any fingers though)

Pokemon will most probably get at least one new character considering how Sakurai apparently always has a reserve for whatever the latest generation is in Smash. At least since Brawl.

That's just my two cent's on that.

Time to post my thoughts on the newest Generations episode

Spoiler: Thoughts on the episode

WAY better than last week's episodes. If I had to be honest, the Galactic episode has to be my 2nd favorite Generations episode, right behind the Magma and Aqua episodes.

I really liked Cyrus here. He was depicted much like his game counterpart, retaining that same cold attitude. Cynthia's appearance was brief, but it was great to see her nonetheless.

That small fight was great too. I liked how Cyrus tries to stop Giratina using Dialga and Palkia compared to the games. The way Giratina emerged out of the ports was a very chilling yet brilliant scene, even if it didn't have the jumpscare Platinum had. I thought it was a pretty interesting change that Cyrus looked pretty content as Giratina dragged him in. In the games, he had a sense of fear just before Giratina lunged forward, evident when he started to stutter.

And the scenery of the Distortion World looked pretty cool. With the absence of Lucas/Dawn, it allowed Cyrus to accept the Distortion World from the get-go, rather than travel around, fight the trainer, then make his decision. I'd say this improved Cyrus for the best here.

I don't have much to say about Mars and Juniper. I'm surprised Juniper joined the whole freak-out session with Mars considering Mars was the one that was most emotionally attached to Cyrus (she was the first one to quit Team Galactic following that scene in Stark Mountain, and in the anime, she's the one that freaks out when Cyrus vanished).

If I had to be honest, I'd say Saturn was the other MVP of this episode in addition to Cyrus and Giratina. True, he sounded dorky and kept repeating "Master Cyrus, please respond" over and over, but I think whoever voiced him nailed the emotion. You could really sense the shock and worry coming from him. What I also loved about Saturn was that final scene. When he heard Cyrus telling him not to interfere and then Giratina's roar afterward, Saturn is worried at first, but then it hits him: Cyrus found the new world he was seeking and has thus achieved his goal. Team Galactic's 2nd-in-command is the first one to realize Cyrus has succeeded.

This also marks the first time in Generations where the player character doesn't appear during the main evil team episode for the generation (not counting Red, who appeared in episodes 1 and 3 which weren't related to Team Rocket). It makes me wonder which episode will Lucas/Dawn appear in. I'm guessing it's going to be the Heatran one, which will probably be the next episode.

It's not just the US though, it's worldwide turmoil

Spoiler: Generations Questions

Was Giratina good or bad? I mean, it gave Cyrus what it wanted, but was it due to it trying to save the world? Finding a kindred spirit? Punishing an evil man? What?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I've been increasingly intrigued in finding out the rest of Cyrus's story

 

[---]

I was only going to buy one this month and wait for Christmas, but I splurged and ordered both the Lucario & Jirachi Sugimori art prints.

Besides receiving a surprise small paybump, I panicked a little when I noticed the Charizard print finally went out of stock the other day. I may have made the right choice as Jirachi is also now out of stock.

Other than Dr. Strange, Sun/Moon, and extra loan payments I plan to make, I'm spent for the next few weeks.

That doesn't have to do with the discussion though, the discussion is about people labeling.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

That doesn't have to do with the discussion though, the discussion is about people labeling.

The part I'm referring to is the social disharmony being at an all time high. It is because the spread of ideas through the internet. It's not just the US though, it's worldwide. When you look at the social disharmony from a worldwide perspective imo it makes the problem significantly worse. Messing on the territory of international politics. (edit there is a typo here but I don't remember what I originally put)

I'm just trying to say, it is a much more massive scale than the past . And I don't think my doom and gloom is unfounded

 

[Aurane]

So yeah I was playing TF2 earlier when I came across that one guy who thinks he's the team's reserved class. Basically, they think only they should play a specific class, and this dude was playing Engineer. I caught him mouthing off on mic to some kid who obviously wasn't putting up with that **** and beat feet.

Being an antagonistic asshole I switched my class from Medic to Engineer and purposely played turtle defense, which basically is an Engineer huddled with all his gear- the most hated play style in my opinion. This dude got so pissed- he was cussing me out, demanding I get booted and everything. So I stopped turtling and moved up, but he was still pissed. As he was ruffling his feathers, I noticed an Enemy Sniper sneaking behind him. I activated my lounge taunt, which made this dude so pissed and he started hitting me with his Jag, when the Sniper came around and taunt-killed him. The dude went immediately silent, then left the server. Sniper let me live- even gave me a nod in text.

It wasn't over though. Dude came back with hacks. Started killing everyone in one shot, but got immediately booted.

In conclusion; it didn't have to be this way. He could've easily just dropped it. He had a choice. But, well...

This meme should be my spray. Its perfect.

Spoiler

I think it had more of a neutral stance....Giratina's role is to keep the balance between the real world and the Distortion World hence why it interfered with Cyrus but it probably recognized what Cyrus sought after...

Keeping Cyrus in the Distortion World is necessary because it keeps him out of trouble so to speak...it's a world he can feel content yet also nullifies the threat he poses...

At least that's what I think...
