Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Chiko. . .even if the speculation is highly improbable, calling someone a white knight is a bit off.

just let him call me what he wants. not like this is new

I thought white knighting was defending that chick that will never take you seriously. :V

more like defending the chick that does ****ty things and still think they are the best chick around

 

[Coricus]

>Nintendo has trouble keeping a product in stock because it's parts are in high demand
>"Other companies just want to sabotage Nintendo"

This is white knighting. By literal text book definition.

It doesn't matter what the textbook definition is (although one could easily make that kind of speculation without having a particular emotional attachment to Nintendo).

This:

I know this is the Nintenzone, but this is the most blatant Nintendo white knighting I've seen here. And I've seen some crap spewed here.

Is needlessly impolite. It implies that you think less of both the person you quoted and of the community as a whole.

You could have easily made your point without throwing that in. I mean, look at the rest of your post:

Apple aren't even a direct competitor to Nintendo. Or did you forget about how Nintendo debuted Super Mario Run at an Apple event?

Both companies just so happen to use the same parts for their devices. The supplier will do their best to supply as much as they can to both companies. If Apple is getting more, that's because they're paying for more. It's as simple as that, nobody is out to sabotage anyone.

That was perfectly fine, maybe a couple of words that are a bit too vindictive.

It's alright to correct people, but the way you put it leans into, to put it on your analogical level, riding in on a black horse to save everyone from their wrong opinions.

If I didn't like you I wouldn't have the nerve to try to point this out nor would I have this desperate crippling fear that I'm being too harsh in the way I put it. But it comes off like you have disdain for everyone around you.

I like when someone runs a stop sign almost hitting me and they start yelling at me like I'm the idiot....

I said "I know this is Nintenzone" to show I'm not tone deaf - it's no secret there's a Nintendo preference/bias around here, hence the name of the board. There's no point trying to suggest otherwise, there's been countless posts that prove this.

"I've seen some crap spewed here" is just admitting that there's been some awfully ignorant posts in the past of a similar vain, yet somehow the latest takes the cake.

You're reading too much into it. I am just calling out BS. I don't hate anyone. If I did, I'd leave no room for doubt on that matter. White knighting is still white knighting though, and I have no problem calling it out when it happens. It's not even an offensive term. If you ARE offended by the term when it's thrown at you, it's probably not misplaced.

Eh, let's move on. No need for accusations or calling people names.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Im tempted to download Persona 5s ost on my phone but its 3 discs

Pretty much every other time you get into a massive debate with someone, I can trace it back to a disconnect based on an overly sharp choice of words on your end. I can dissect any number of your posts and end up with a complete tonal shift just by replacing the exact same statements with different words. You even have stated that you have a bit of a reputation for being "a jerk." But it's obvious that no matter how hard you analyze your own vernacular, you can't actually tell what might come off badly. Thus the assumption that everyone else must be overreacting, because you can't figure out what could be an issue on your end.

"I know this is a Nintendo community and we often overestimate Nintendo's importance as a result, but this seems to place far too much weight on Nintendo's actual impact on the electronics industry."

I could probably polish it up further, but I decided to take a crack at getting out the same message without resorting to getting lemon-flavored terse.

Sorry, I feel awful about it as it is, I just got carried away.

I feel like I'm about to cry TBH, sorry for derailing everything by being a jerk.

I've been watching you (and some others) talk about waiting for Mario + Rabbids to launch... and here I've been sitting on my own copy which arrived yesterday. I had it pre-ordered and never really bothered with the release date, so when I got it I just figured it the game been released already. But apparently the release date is next week, even here in Europe. Huh, funny, guess I better arrange some time to get to it then.

 

[Metal Shop X]

To speak about something else. Gosh, I love how in MGS2, you can hear Snake/Raiden thought in codec conversation. With the gem that they say, especially with the right timing in a serious conversation. I wish more games had hilarious option like this during cutscenes.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

anyone who understand the splatoon app, for my killes it shows 10(1). what does the 1 in the ( ) mean?

Oh oh its assists ok nvm

 

[Wario Bros.]

Heck with it, I'll change it now.

I feel like in a perfect world someone would take that as a challenge.

It's the best I've seen too, but we all know the right writer could do even better.

GOD DANG IT, LAST POST ON THE PREVIOUS PAGE?! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS.

You think after the "I can't remember" time. I would pay attention to the number of post before posting myself. But mistakes never change.

You know what they say about your posts?

The more the merrier!

(And that's my fun contribution to the memes for the day)

If you want to see amazing writing, look up any line from Shantotto.

This game has a bunch of chat phrases you can use and they're all character specific and voiced. Literally all of Shantotto's are rhymes. It's amazing.

And with that, my day have been made.

Thank you my friend for this wonderful memes.

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

All right, I now have all three versions of Fire Emblem Fates!

 

[Coricus]

And with that, my day have been made.

Thank you my friend for this wonderful memes.

The world could always use more Eggmemes.

One day they might even take over the world.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Henlo, everyone.

I'm bored. Anything fun going on here?

 

[Metal Shop X]

Now I imagine that, Eggman used every memes he ever created to conquer the world in Sonic Force.

Memes can kill after all, right Jack?

 

[ChikoLad]

Yeah, Lightning is definitely shaping up to be my best character here.

Zidane is OK but he doesn't feel as good as in the PSP games. Then again I've only got laggy matches with him.

I'm also good with Warrior of Light and Firion. Firion has been mad buffed compared to the PSP games.

I kinda want to experiment with Y'shtola too.

You ever had to deal with the fact your favorite character was killed by your second favorite or vice-versa? Like, ****, how do I deal with this?

Basically, what I mean to say is: **** you Aoki
