The logic goes like this:
Valentine's Day is seen as Western Culture which is seen as equivalent to Christian Culture.

East Asian Culture (China, Japan, and Korea) is veeery different from South Asian culture. (India, Pakistan)

White Day is an East Asian thing.

huh, well then. The more I know

Did you know that cities are actually greener than suburbs?

Despite being monoliths of industrialization, cities are actually many times more beneficial than suburbs when it comes to reducing pollution and energy use.

Due to the way cities like New York are built, people rely on public transportation rather than their own personal vehicles to get across large distances. But at the same time, many things a someone would need in a city is also in walking distance compared to how someone in the suburbs would need to drive everywhere.

If you care about the planet. Move to a city, it's better.

Eeeehhhh, I could only see this being true in cities not in the west coast. Specifically when it comes to places like Los Angleses, unless it's the rich hollywood part of it(which is very expensive), the poorer parts are pretty filthy, especially since that there's a ton of driving with huge freeways and especially traffic within the city itself. Places like San Pedro(where I shortly lived and where my Dad's side is.) are worse because they're by the docks, but I wouldn't consider San Pedro Suburban.

Either way the sub urbs are a lot nicer here in California, I've lived in them bith by the mountains and now beach. It also helps that nature is kept intact, especially by the mountains. Not to diseregard the city, I still love to visit the cities here, especially if you're looking for some fun.

researching the Hells Angels for schoolwork and see that cops and pedos aren't permitted in the group

nice

friend scrolls down and shows me their racial policies, which aren't legal segregation but instead are cultural

bikers suck, actually

That sounds so much like Virginia Beach, and the ****ty part of VB is Norfolk, where all the shootings always happen. The only city we have is downtown and I would barly call that a city tbh. We dont have good stuff like Cali but hey, I have The Cheesecake Factory

Oh yeah, that reminds me that in general the worst parts here in SolCal are certain beaches, the industrial and highly populated beaches I mean.

And I the only one who knows that the "bad dubbing" for Super Bomberman R's intro was meant to be a cheesy homage to early dubs?

Yes, Konami uploaded the full thing on their channels.

Kinda has a Saturday morning cartoon vibe to it. I like it.

The only voice I found weird was Bomberman's tbh. The rest was sounded good to me.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

A big demonstration of Nier Automata's open world RPG elements. We're finally getting a look at some of the stuff that distinguishes this game from Platinum's other works and make it's own. The whole project looks promising and definitely reassuring, considering the recent cancellation of Scalebound and the reception of some of Platinum's licensed works. If you have no familiarity with the previous Nier, I'd encourage at least watching a playthrough of it. It's a flawed but wonderful experience. Do also checkout a great overview series being worked Clemps on Youtube. It's very depth in its look into the game and is probably the best analysis I could find just about anywhere.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This speaks to me on a spiritural level

Bomberman's voice was always high in most of his appearances. So seeing him with a deep voice here is kind of offputting.

Imagine if he had that voice in Smash. Or just stay mute for nostalgia.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have a problem with Takumi
The arena AI will always pursue you so you just need to bait him to a place where a Brave weapon user can attack him.
His defense sucks so he'll likely die on the second hit, at least my Raven always manages to do so

not everyone had good units. Im scared of him lol I blame conquest

But Takumi is strong

 

[Fluttershy]

So how long is this thread being filmed in front of a live studio audience?

Making an Adamant minior and considering on having a special move or 2 because of minior's lack of physical moves that would work in Doubles.. (I don't like lowering defenses to have a neutral Sp attack)

*can't contribute to the FE Heroes conversation because of lack of having the game and it's big downloads.. *

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Go ahead and vote.

And yes, Cutie Gwen had to be involved because her Robobot Armor is cool.

 

[Wario Bros.]

In Super Bomberman R, something tells me the bad bombers can be playable in multiplayer.

There's no way that the bad bombers being different colors from the Bomberman brothers is a coincidence.

Close counter is BS.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Takumi is being a pain in the ass?
I don't see the problem, it's motherfreaking Takumi after all. He is the Gary Oak of Fire Emblem in my book.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I like to call Takumi BS in human form

My robobot armour? You mean this?

Brave Weapons hit twice before he has the chance to counter
I feel like Hector's Distant Counter would be worse because tomes are the one thing that can hurt him and there are no Brave tomes afaik but he's nowhere near as common as Takumi

It's not like you can give someone brave weapons. I have no units with that because RNG is a *****.

Takumi isnt a problem for you because you out OP Takumi. For someone with standared not op unit, Takumi is a royal nightmare, no pun intended

Swamp Thing got revealed for Injustice 2

Also a Swamp stage.
He's looking like main material. Bonus points for kicking the **** out of Damian Wayne.

They called you a thing ,how do you feel?

 

[Deleted member]

So, playable units' names and the kingdoms are done.
I need a theme for the minor bosses and the S-Rank weapons though. Anyone have any ideas?

 

[Wolfie557]

nope nope nope nope.
Narcian level is just impossible for me rn. I only bothered seriously trying it (and used up my only remaining stamina potion in the process) cos you can't get him through summoning and I want to collect at least 1 copy of every hero so...

oh well.

What units do you have? What levels are they? Did you try the level on normal or hard?

 

[Fluttershy]

Smogon is Suspect testing Dugtrio (regular).. If it passes which is what it looks like it will be doing it'll be as "OP" as Greninja, and the Predictable Aegislash..

I still need to catch up with RWBY..

If you care about the planet. Move to a city, it's better.

Couple of things.

1) It's mainly using CO2 omissions. Conveniently ignoring all the other ways cities pollute.
2) This can mean a decrease in QoL which he is ignoring and is a driving economic and psychological force.

Adam Ruins Everything likes to ignore a lot of things and he did so this time.

Granted, this is just a small blurb from just the episode but if its like most of his episodes, he'll ignore some stuff.

Telling people to leave their old home for a non-apparent reason is about the hardest thing you can ask of someone.

You're right, it is hard. But gotta do something to at least inform people.

Eeeehhhh, I could only see this being true in cities not in the west coast. Specifically when it comes to places like Los Angleses, unless it's the rich hollywood part of it(which is very expensive), the poorer parts are pretty filthy, especially since that there's a ton of driving with huge freeways and especially traffic within the city itself.

Nope. It's something true for all cities (at least in developed nations. Probably different in poorer nations where things may be managed worse). Perhaps some cities are less green than others, but on average they're all greener and more energy efficient than suburbia.

If global warming actually had some tangible effect on people's everyday lives, convincing them would be much easier, really.

It's both a blessing and a curse in that sense.

Nat Geo has a small feature on this actually.

Some of the effects include increased energy costs, droughts, and even agricultural output.

I really want this game so bad, but I want it on the Switch when I saw it.

That's just blatantly wrong. Lol.

What other things has he said, hmmmm....

That's the thing. All the changes are gradual and will happen over the next few decades. It's nothing immediate.

A 1-5% rise in your electricity bill is unlikely to spur you into action to save the planet.

I suddenly have a thirst for Fire Emblem Heroes

 

[Z25]

Yes I beat narcian on normal! Beruka went in, took a hit from their bow user, and everyone else scattered, allowing Marth, Lissa, and Kaegoro to route the rest of them and destroy them.

Might try hard mode later today.
