My intusive thoughts seem to be take over more lately. I literaly looked at a wall amd said " I wonder how hard I can hit my head on that wall" and I did it and that is the wost headache i had

I give in to most of my intrusive thoughts, I swear pff

Pumpkaboo no.

Resist. Don't give in to your invasive thoughts.

If you have time to hit your head on the wall, then meme instead.

That wouldnt be the first time. I acted on it several times over my life. To many to count. Why I act upon them, idk

Also speaking of memes, after the tri slosher got nerfed, I found this on Japanese twitter

I managed to make it a whole week committed to something without giving up! Yay!

I need better life goals.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Wario Bros.]

Tried to see I could find out why Japan's Direct video has Smash for the title playing.

Looked at other upcoming Direct videos that were created by random YouTubers. Most had no game, one had Splatoon 2, one had Super Mario Odyssey, and couple had Pokémon Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon (the latter had Pokémon in both their thumbnail and title).

Whether or not that was YouTube algorithm or just the YouTubers manually put it in there I don't know but I thought I'd give it a try.

Thanks for doing the legwork, even if it ends up going nowhere I love watching investigation on this kind of stuff.

. . .I wonder if the algorithm would be effected by the highest rated or overall number of Direct titles rather than recent ones? It'd be too much of a slog to check, but hmm.

I wouldn't call it juicy, though, more too tame to actually be realistic. It's not something generally plausible to happen, but "leakers" have quite the talent for it.

I guessed the PotD every night for however long it ran for and got 0 correct.

Those were the days though.

 

[Delzethin]

I have had the worst luck in Heroes these last couple of weeks. Not a single CYL unit from the banner, and my pity rate's up to 4.75% with three days left.

With luck like this, you have to laugh at the simple things.

Still no brave unit, but something funny happened. I pulled Mae and Boey back-to-back. Both 4*, both +Atk/-Res.

Get a room, already!

****ing heck, I was trying to play Pokemon X today and it froze. So I tried to turn it on again and Pokemon X wouldnt start. I turned of my 3DS and it froze on the Home menu, and I tried again and now it wont turn on. Ive lost My Pokemon X, Tomodachi Life and most importantly my Animal Crossing New Leaf. Im really hoping that Nintendo announces a new Animal Crossing as I lost a lot of my progress...

But hey at least I got Super Mario 64 Online working...

Wait, what? Hey, does anyone have any idea what's going on there?

 

[Deleted member]

Tbh, at this point, I just want Smash Switch because my Wii U doesn't work anymore and playing on the 3DS isn't the same.

That's hilariously meta.

At least someone appreciated the post

In what context. In the context of canonly in the anime or in the way of "I made them a boy first then changed my mind"

Tsuyu was originally a guy but Horikoshi decided to change it because there weren't enough female characters
Which is the exact reason frogs change sex irl

None of the Japanese frogs can change sex.

Only African ones can.

Shh, Swamp, you're ruining it!

I dunno, maybe her dad is afrodescendant or immigrated from Africa, you never know.

Also that was a very... interesting day to be a mod. >_>

Nothing but good news here. Not only is the SNES Classic receiving an increased production run, they're bringing back the NES Classic sometime next year.

It will be interesting to see if it'll be the same game line-up or if Nintendo makes it harder for modders to break into. This doesn't excuse Nintendo for past mistakes in any regard, but it's a step in the right direction. RIP Scalpers.

@NonSpecificGuy

After some time has passed, I'll let you know if it has 'lived up the hype' or not.

After a week of playing, Destiny 2 as a whole is a great game.

The good:

• Campaign had a great story, fun missions with great design, and interesting new characters.
• Lots of general gameplay mechanics and activities were vastly improved.
• Great new environments and PvP maps.
• Gaining reputation and reputation rewards vastly improved.
• Has more challenge to it, making strategy more important than just shooting and staying alive.
• There's always something to do, and you get good rewards for it.

The bad:

• Some of Bungie's attempts to balance PvP feel more detrimental than beneficial, most of which impact PvE negatively.
• New loadout system works well mechanically, but feels limiting in play.
• Shaders were changed in a very controversial way.
• Fireteam sizes are inconsistent.
• Some of the challenge stems from overall less damage output and slower ability recharge rates.
• Subclasses are much more restricted, with no real room for unique builds.

The SmashBoards Thread Simulators are still some of my favourite videos on youtube.

Corocoro confirmed that the USUM box mascots are new Necrozma forms:

The first images from CoroCoro have leaked and have revealed the latest news on Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon. As always, do note that translations are preliminary while we work on them. The image confirms that the forms shown on the boxarts are fusions of Solgaleo/Lunala and Necrozma when Necrozma absorbs the other Pokémon. The Solgaleo style one is called "Necrozma Mane of Twilight". Lunala's is "Necrozma Wings of Dawn". They have the signature moves of Solagelo & Lunala: Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam . We'll bring more as it comes

Also **** you for copying Kyurem's gimmick instead of being you're own god damn thing, Necrozma. Thank you.

This game can bite my ass.

These are both completely fair responses.

Gamefreak sure are phoning this one in.

 

[Aurane]

This is all the news BTW. I guarantee that's all Corocoro had to show.

 

[Deleted member]

Honestly, the biggest offender to me is that Kyurem never got its Original Dragon form.
This isn't even related to USUM in specific, just me being salty at GF.

Nope, it'll also reveal that Necrozma was originally an UB that fell in this dimension and then split into three parts, the current Necrozma, Solgaleo and Lunaala and the Big Bad wants to fuse the former with one of the other two to take over Alola and N shows up at the end-- I mean Lillie

Oh yeah. I'm triggered now, but if this happens? I'll ****ing turn into one of those rage memes.

Considering the fact Colress makes an appearance in SM, I wouldn't be surprised if Necrozma fuses via the DNA Splicers.

 

[Holder of the Heel]

The first generation was the only games that featured non-legendary pokes on the cover, ever since it became a huge success it has gradually been bending more and more to the power of merchandising. More big powerful epic monsters, more special forms. If the direct doesn't totally contradict my pessimism, I'll just put the series in the back of my mind until news of the Switch game begins to surface. And I'm sure that'll be quite the long wait.

Along with the strange way I feel about Fire Emblem Warriors at the moment (I really want to play it but at the same time I don't care? It's odd), I'm looking forward to what this direct has to offer. My only fear is that it'll spend most of its time talking about Mario when I've already been sold on that for months.

Anecdotally, France had double the preorders for the SNES Classic as they had for the NES Classic. I get doing LE's and all, but I never understood it in these cases. These could totally be evergreen products

Hideki Kamiya retweeted the Nintendo Direct announcement. This doesn't necessarily mean anything - one of the people behind Xenoblade retweeted what turned out to be the Robin and Lucina announcement (that retweet made everyone expect Shulk), purely because that person is a Nintendo fan. However, I really hope we find out what Platinum has been making for the Switch.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm going to wait for more info before I get annoyed.

I have a feeling there will be key differences.

 

[IronTed]

Kamiya's tweets are rather meaningless at this point, not worth getting hopes up over it.

 

[Coricus]

I'm not gonna gripe about Game Freak not trying because I can't be bothered to get that worked up about it.

But I will say this is the first pair of games I'm skipping since I started watching for new releases. Bought a version of every release batch since the Johto remakes. B2W2 earned my money for being a sequel, but since this isn't I figure I can just wait it out and cross my fingers they actually keep the follower Pokemon this time instead of seeing the dip in sales from people waiting for Gen 8 as "LOL people don't want this anymore."

 

[Opossum]

So, like how the Awakening characters got a group trailer, they released trailers for the Fates characters, one for Hoshido and one for Nohr.

This, plus the placement of characters on the special edition poster, basically confirms that these are all of the Fates characters we're getting, and most notably, that we won't be getting Azura. They wouldn't do a Fates group trailer set without all the Fates cast, which makes Azura easily the most surprising omission thus far. I guess IS didn't push for her inclusion like they did for Lucina.


On another, brighter note, we're in Shadow Dragon territory now, with the bulk of them likely being revealed at Tokyo Game Show (I think the Direct will have English versions of the latest trailers, or a new one entirely focused on History Mode).

 

[Deleted member]

My problem with Necrozma being a copy of Kyurem is that they don't seen to be adding anything new.
The whole thing just seems to exist to give us two new forms when it'd be cooler to expand on UBs and stuff. Kyurem worked because there was an estabilished background, Necrozma being able to possess two Legendary Pokemon with no given connection just feels like an Ass Pull.

I'm not that bothered by it though, at least not as much as I am with FEW, I'm just disappointed because I don't think I'll get anything new from buying USUM

 

[Aurane]

SM was a good pair of games, don't get me wrong. Great characters, fair story, and UBs- which in my opinion was the best part about SM. Introducing creatures who, in technicalities, aren't Pokémon. And of course Alola forms.

But USUM is going down a ridged path as is, starting with really bad marketing. Remember, this game comes out in two months and all that's know is that there's a special event only Lycanroc form with major restrictions, a Pikachu Hat form and that Necrozma has fusion forms. Considering USUM is the second time there were two "third versions" and the first one also had a fusion signature, it just feels like really lazy game creation.

Yeah, I'm upset. But not just because of this fusion thing. USUM as a whole has been just a mess. I'm hoping that direct fixes this.

Intriguingly enough, ever since Emerald, 3rd versions have been selling more. In fact, assuming a complete convergence, most people who bought BW bought the sequels. Heck, it's been 9 years since we've had a traditional 3rd version. Crystal was the low point. Whether or not that trend will continue is yet to be seen.
