Rejoice.

What is this game anyways?

 

[Coricus]

I went to go look up "king dedede adorable" and there's a ton of amazing things I'm glad I'm seeing right now.

But even among those this is perfection.

*EDIT* Nope, it broke. But I may have just discovered my secret closet favorite video game character in a hilariously badly fitting cosplay. No, not the obvious one, the one I want in Smash and always flameshield every time I bring them up for it.

*EDIT* Now let's hope my bizarre taste in video game characters didn't kill the thread.

*EDIT 2* Ah sugarplums, I killed the thread didn't I? :/

*EDIT 3* OK how do I resuscitate the thread after giving it a heart attack?

I see you trying to revive the thread. But like a sleeping dog, it's best to let it be.

Gee, I knew my tastes in video game characters were pretty derided, but even I didn't know it was THAT bad!

Hang on, lemme try something to fix this.

There, did that work?

This was as good of a time as any to check Omega Mode.

Nice punchline.

The rant got me, too.

Woah... Cyn ! You gifted me another account upgrade? :o

I wasn't expecting that, but I appreciate it.

While you're celebrating your 10,000 posts, I am sitting at my measly 1,160 (now 1,161 posts). I have to question if having this many posts despite being around for about well over a year and a half is normal at all.

Well, time to drink away my pain and depression for the whole night, good night

I just realized that one of the biggest internal conflicts in my country now is about the quesadillas require cheese or not. (hint: yes they need cheese).

I really don't think that's a good idea

That's a depressant, a stimulant would pro. . .

Tch, never mind that. Hang in there Pumpkaboo, I care about you. Just. . .hang in there.

What is a quesadilla without cheese?

Spoiler: Give up?

Crap.

I was gonna say a plain tortilla but that works too.

Wait why is this a debate? Queso is literally part of the word "quesadilla".

Playing more Corruption! Exploring this amazing area!

Reading the lore for this area, first off it's quite ingenius to have little drones fly about that store the data for the lore...second it's another great way to tell us about the Chozo and their history and how they literally created a new race being the Elysians after colonizing the planet...Skytown is a pretty good showcase of how advanced Chozo tech is...and it's fascinating seeing so many little repair drones still active throughout the floating city, which shows longevity...
It was sad reading some of the lore though since it speaks of the Elysians in hibernation, but were still fed data and knowledge through their dreams, and they helplessly learned of the fate of their creators, the Chozo, who had colonized Tallon IV due to the events that lead up to the first game, while still in hibernation...

Moving on, I took on Ghor...Of the three hunters Ghor is my least favourite, as well as his theme being the weakest imo (still not that bad though) HOWEVER...He is very much underrated in this game...
Bonus points to him for being the only thing in Metroid history that managed to track down Samus's gunship and attack it...upon discovering him in the act he LITERALLY PICKS UP HER SHIP AND THROWS IT AT HER!!!
Then you acquire the Plasma Beam when you defeat him!!!

One other thing about this game I can appreciate is how it pushes Samus as a character...we get an idea of her thoughts and emotions through subtle but effective body language...a clenched fist after helplessly witnessing her friend get killed tells a much bigger story than a dry emotionless monologue...this is how you build character...


And finally ZIPLINING AND BOT BOWLING!!!

Drinking anything good?

I don't know why quesadillas are not named quesatillas, like a combination of queso (cheese in spanish) and tortilla.
Quesadilla sounds like a combination of queso and pesadilla (nightmare in spanish).
Cheese nightmare aaaaah... why am I still awake?

 

[Mythra]

Because people in capital city think anything folded in a tortilla can be a quesadilla as long it is served hot.

Under this same logic, I can wear a police uniform and be a police officer. :I

Well if that's the case, I got some quesadillas sin queso coming right up.

The term quesadilla comes from another term; Quesada
Quesada is any type of dish that uses cheese as its main ingredient.
"-illa" is used for diminutives.

So: Quesada + illa

I think I'm definitely having Mexican food for lunch tomorrow...


Not quite sure where this craving came from

 

[Kurri ★]

I'll take a cheese burger, hold the patty please.
Just the bread and the cheese.

EDIT:
No but seriously, I'll take a double triple bossy deluxe, on a raft, four by four animal style, extra shingles with a shimmy and a squeeze, light axle grease, make it cry, burn it, and let it swim.

Order #5 coming up ma'am.

Spoiler: The saddest fast food order

That actually reminds me of a story of my older bro had from his days working at Subway. A customer wanted just the bread. No sandwich. While that's not normally possible, a loophole was found. A veggie sub with no veggies.

The newest episode of the Pokemon Sun and Moon anime was awesome!

Turns out the egg Lillie had was an Alola Vulpix (no surprise because it was leaked in the first poster for the anime), which Lillie names it "Shiron," and the egg Samson Oak was given hatched into the normal Vulpix. I liked how the episode presented the two different personalities of the two Vulpix by showing how they reacted to Ash touching them: the normal Vulpix was content as Ash petted it, while the Alola Vulpix used Powder Snow as Ash was about to pet it.

What really made this episode great was Lillie. She develops yet again as a character! In the last Lillie-centered episode, Lillie took her first steps in overcoming her fear of touching Pokemon by hugging the egg. In this episode, she hugs the Alola Vulpix, demonstrating her next step in character development as she can touch a Pokemon without becoming afraid. Heck, she even develops a really strong bond with the Pokemon the moment it hatched, going as far as taking it to a Malasada shop and letting it pick the Malasada it wants to eat.

But the real highlight... Lillie became a Pokemon Trainer in this episode! I'm not kidding about that. She was given a Pokeball for the Vulpix, and she threw it!

I laughed when the Pokeball ended up landing on Ash's head (the Vulpix ends up walking up to the ball, touches it, and willingly gets caught)! It was nice to see she tried. The pose she makes right before throwing it even reminded me of her personal Z-move from the games for some reason, and her reaction to catching the Vulpix was pretty cute.

But it gets better than that! Team Rocket chases after for her Vulpix later in the episode. As Lillie runs away, she actually commands the Alola Vulpix to use Powder Snow so that Team Rocket would constantly slip on the ground, giving Lillie and Vulpix enough time to outrun them. When they are finally cornered, Lillie order the Vulpix to use Powder Snow to stop James's Mareanie Sludge Bomb. Another Sludge Bomb sent Alola Vulpix flying, causing Lillie to jump after it, catching it, and then getting saved by Ash's Rowlet just before landing. When Pikachu was about to fight Mimikyu, Vulpix steps in and expresses interest in fighting again. Lillie commands it to use Powder Snow on Team Rocket, freezing the group with Bewear arriving to take them a few seconds later.

She still struggles with touching other Pokemon that aren't Vulpix, but the it's really nice to see how she is overcoming her fear bit by bit. Not only that, but I've noticed one of the most common criticisms against Lillie in the games is that she never fights like a Pokemon Trainer during the story. Well, looks like this episode was the writers' way of answering those critics.

Team Rocket also had some great moments too. Earlier in the episode, James, Meowth, and Wobbufet notice Jessie brought an extra bag of Malasadas, but she tells them its a secret. Later in the episode, its revealed that she bought those Malasadas for the Bewear as a gift. Bewear hugs Jessie out of joy...

Spoiler: Bewear hugging Jessie

...a painful hug to say the least.

It's also revealed that Jessie's Mimikyu has zero interest in fighting Pokemon battles unless it faces Ash's Pikachu, and when it eats food, it simply hops over it and munches it using the bottom portion of its body (or perhaps its using feet? Seriously, what is the true form of this Pokemon?).

A really great episode overall! I would highly recommend watching it if you want to see Lillie as a Pokemon Trainer.
