TPC tends to do their own directs, although we could see USUM info. I mean if they decided to announce a mainline game at E3, anything is possible.

Oh yeah, forgot about USUM

Why'd you mention Etrian Odyssey twice?

I hate you too, Opo

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Why'd you mention Etrian Odyssey twice?

You're right, everyone knows Persona Q is the best Etrian Odyssey game

 

[Kurri ★]

First of all, I'm not condoning the use of the word at all...black or not...

Second, I was specifically speaking of whites and blacks using it in the same context...

Third, IT DOESN'T ****ING MATTER IF YOU PRONOUNCE IT WITH A HARD R OR NOT IT'S STILL THE SAME WORD!!!

Don't give me that ****...

Did you read the Twitter thread I linked?

No, the words ARE the same...

The context may be different but the words are the still same nonetheless...That also doesn't mean that either one isn't used in the other context either...

Oh... I'll take that as a no.

In a language where "Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo" is a perfectly sound, grammatically correct sentence, or that "minute" and "minute" are two completely different words, you'd realize that language is a very fluid and ever changing thing. Changing the "-er" to an "-a" makes a whole new word that simply shares similar spelling and etymology. They are not the same words, they simply sound similar, they have have very distinct meanings from one another. The English language is loaded with words like that; "Blue" and "Blew" are completely different words and yet they're pronounced the exact same way.

I understood well and clear that you were talking about whites and blacks using the words in the same context, that doesn't change anything, white people should not use either words period. Words have power, they have weight, they're not just words, but symbols. A white person using either word represents anti-blackness and white supremacy. White people oppressed blacks, and the N-word was a regular part of their vocabulary. Black people took that word, twisted it, and formed something new with it, something to claim as their own, and white people still grasp for it. They are hanging on to anti-blackness and white supremacy. If you're not black, don't use it.

You have no idea what you're talking about, but I can't say I'm upset or disappointed. Being black, I have to deal with this on a very regular basis, so finding another person who just doesn't get it, refuses to get it, and proudly expresses that they don't get it is on par for the course

He's incredibly boring just like pretty much everyone else in the Smash community on YouTube or from the competitive side.

I can see that's a reason for not liking Omni, and I do see quite a few Smash focused Youtube channels become boring or even inactive. But there are some like Alpharad and Etika are still continue to be entertaining, for me at least.
However, I do see Omni trying to make his Youtube more better, I do felt that his videos is being more and more boring until recently. Besides that I loves his videos like "Genji God" and "Why 1000 lions will lose to all 700+ Pokemons" etc.

huh, this guy wears nazi uniforms, pays Indian children to carry signs saying "hitler did nothing wrong", and shouts racial slurs, but I'm reserving judgement. i'm sure there's no way he could possibly be racist

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...tler/?tid=pm_world_pop&utm_term=.2bb1541cf6e1
urgh, this reminds me the incident last year where a high school in Taiwan dressed up as Nazis and even build a tank as a marching play for the school's sports festival, and that stirred a huge controversy as well.
Furthermore, weird is that some individuals take this incident to mock KMT again for being a "fascist" party... like the Nazi... yeah... (spoiler: these individuals in Taiwan who made this statement also tend to state that some comfort women for the Japanese army during the WWII were volunteered and not forced)
To be frank I could be a bit biased here, but really, it's weird that those Taiwan Independent activists condemns Nazi...but also takes this chance to mock KMT... but also treats Taiwan Japan Colonial period really really positively... but another group called Taiwan Civil Government even claims Taiwan is still part of the Japan Empire and belongs to the US... oh man why am I taking these freaks seriously?

Sentences like this are the reason why racism continues to exist...This isn't about white supremacy or 'anti-blackness' this is about yet one other thing I see people hold onto that separates us as human beings based on skin our colour...

I'm dropping this here, cuz I'm done talking about this...

 

[Coricus]

Oh, so it's announced? Whoo!

Wants:

Skyrim release date
Xenoblade 2 release date
Some Kirby Switch stuff if it's sooner rather than later
Caeda in FEW (plz)
Splatoon 2 stage release announcement
Sonic Forces info if Sega loves me
Themes if Nintendo loves me
Kid Icarus Uprising sequel if Nintendo loves me more than life itself and will break reality to give me a present

I don't even need a Smash announcement right now, that's a staple title and it's not getting more than a name drop if it does pop up, which I doubt. I can wait for the full rollout, I got games to look forward to.

A culture that was previously oppressed (and far worse) adopting and reappropriating a term that was used to degrade them is different from the culture that did the oppression using the term.


It's not a matter of "racism." It's a matter of tact and common sense.

LET"S A GO!
SO hyped!

The #NintendoDirect includes new info on #SuperMarioOdyssey & will be nearly 45 mins long. Will you stay up late with us on Wednesday?

— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) September 11, 2017

Seems to be mainly an Odyssey one.

Nah odyssey is just going to show up mos of the game like at E3 but only have 2 minutes.

45 minutes is massive, that's an E3 sized direct so this should be good.

My predictions:

Kirby 3ds finally gets shown

Pokken and Metroid are briefly mentioned due to upcoming releases.

Maybe a go buy mario and rabbids now please.

USUM gets a trailer with actual content in it painting a more solid image of what the game is like.

Everything from E3 gets a trailer again.

Release date for the clown in ARMS

2 Surprise announcements or more.

Hopes:
Animal Crossing Switch

Smash Switch

Pokemon amiibo

Detective Pikachu returns.

A new Pokemon spinoff on switch to keep us waiting.

Something new and unexpected.

It was so freaking good. Did an amazing depiction on how society is and issues within while also building the plot. The ending was so good and what I was hoping it was going to be.

Looking forward to the rest of the season, this has become one of my favorite episodes.

I love how they handled and paced several stories so well in a 20-minute episode while managing to tie them up in a satisfying way.

Can't wait for next week now

There's a giant billbord for Dairy Queen outside the gym I go to... kinda counter intuitive ain't it?

Imagine Nintendo E3 Spotlight was also 45 minutes (Where I guess if they have more third party games then it could be possible) I personally hope this Direct can prove us that Nintendo Switch is going to get huge third party support.

I guess they might mention DLC for Odyssey, also more details about Skyrim, Xenoblade 2, and more.

Actually just in brief on what we have known from E3... more new stuff please.

The clown is called Lola Pop. I hope they announce another new ARMS character.

And when you found out that the Direct happens 15 minutes before a class starts...

I have a class on Wednesday starts at 6:15 PM (I'm in EST by the way)... and ends around 8 PM.

Ah I couldn't remember her name.

I think some increased 3rd party support is possible. We will likely see some surprises in that department. Maybe new indie stuff too.

It should be a pretty good direct if it manages the time well.

Breh the Direct is at midnight for me. Which is also 9 hours before I usually go to work

For DQ, it is pretty effective. I suppose it would be messed up overall. It helps that people are bound to be pretty hungry when they're done working out.

I mean, it's not as bad as putting a Bacardi ad right outside an AA meeting office.

 

[mario123007]

I'm not like a huge Indie games fan yet. But I do have bought quite a few titles, like Cave Story +, Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment, and Overcooked.
One game that is a fighting game that I think it should and possible to be ported to Switch is Skullgirls. I think the chance is high due to the fact that Lab Zero used to say they didn't want to port Skullgirls to Wii U due to it's low sales. (But they still port the game to Vita for some reason years later...) and 3DS pretty sure due to the power.
I have mention this dozens of times, some may say it's impossible or don't care, but hear me out:
- Indivisible, upcoming game made by Lab Zero is coming to Switch
- Fighting games like Ultra Street Fighter 2 sells well on the console.
- Switch itself is a good for multiplayer co-op.
- There isn't much fighting game on the Switch. (USF2, Pokken tournament, one indie fighting game...and what else? Please remind me)
- Skullgirls is literally on nearly every non-Nintendo platform, even Android has Skullgirls (I download the game recently, and I don't like it...) It first came out on PC and then PS3 Xbox 360, and the PS4, Xbox One, and PS Vita. So this means PS Vita is the only handheld platform (That has real controls) for Skullgirls for now. If Lab Zero really wants Skullgirls sells even more well (They said Skullgirls sales met expectations in Japan), especially in the Japan region, they should port it on Switch.

Breh the Direct is at midnight for me. Which is also 9 hours before I usually go to work

Direct at midnight is perfect for me, I obviously have nothing to do at midnight, and I'm technically a night owl.

 

[WeirdChillFever]

A few years I heard two white kids at school were talking eachother about Minecraft or some similar ****ty shenanigan while referring to eachother as "*****" and every time I think of those two kids I know I'll never be as stupid.

Even if you don't get the deal it's quite easy to not say hurtful slur

 

[Ivander]

I'm pretty sure moments like these were done in order to mess with people.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Nice for a Direct (again, Dr. Mario Switch plz). And 45 minutes is a **** ton of time so this is even better.

And my twin and I have finally added each other on the Switch. Wasn't expecting the only game in his activity being Mario + Rabbids.

EDIT: Wait, the Direct is 20 minutes longer than that E3 showcase? SWEEEEEEEET!!!

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

I'm pretty sure moments like these were done in order to mess with people.

Well that **** is not going to work on me. I work out, I play football, I watch what I eat, and I haven't eaten Ice Cream since 2015.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I haven't eaten Ice Cream since 2015.

Ladies, gentlemen, we have found ourselves someone who's almost as much of a heretic as me

 

[Opossum]

Well that **** is not going to work on me. I work out, I play football, I watch what I eat, and I haven't eaten Ice Cream since 2015.

College football, right? Figured I'd ask, what team do you play for?

 

[IronTed]

I think they confirmed the direct will be headlines. So there might be a lot of announcements. IIRC the April direct had about 30 games in 35 minutes, with a focus on 2 (ARMS and Splatoon 2). This is a 45 minute direct with no focus. Odyssey will probably get the most amount of time, but anything more than 5 minutes seems iffy.

Edit: not confirmed, only the same font and logo as April. Still possible though

 

[Jason the Yoshi]

Ladies, gentlemen, we have found ourselves someone who's almost as much of a heretic as me

Well excuse me. Last time I ever had any Ice Cream was when they confirmed that Blue Bell was linked to a Listeria outbreak.

Trust me when I say this, it's not fun being hospitalized with Listeria.

College football, right? Figured I'd ask, what team do you play for?

We're the Mustangs. We don't play in the NCAA though, so we're not big timers.

 

[Deleted member]

I can't believe I can finally say "Dr. House is as powerful as Goku" and back it up with a video.
Clearly, House is the strongest anime character

I watch what I eat,

So, does this mean you eat ponies or that you watch healthy food?
It's kind of ambiguous

Is Blue Bell a brand, store or flavour? Cause depending on which it's a big difference. Though yeah, nasty **** to hear regardless. Still a heretic
