Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

I think we all want to know when certain fighting games will get more info or will get revealed; I can relate.

By the way, there's something you should know, Akxareth. Want to know what that is?

Sure, what's going on?

 

[Aurane]

Always loved the game's theme, but I never played Cave Story, could possibly pick this up though

I highly recommend it. Its a great game.

 

[Yellowlord]

Sure, what's going on?

I just granted you your 12,000th post! Congratulations on making it this far with your post count! Even if its somewhat close to 15000, I still think its signficant!

But uh... now that I've basically said what I wanted to say, this is where I should actually think of something to bring up.

How's your day been? Excited for E3 and what awaits?

 

[Robertman2]

Toyman feels more like a Batman villian than a Superman one

 

[Cutie Gwen]

tbh the Cave Story Switch version isn't going to be an option for me as Nicalis is ****ing awful and has taken YEARS to bring a game to Europe and then insult people for not being happy there's a ****ing 2 year gap between the US and EU releases of a 3DS Cave Story. Then there's the kickstarter scam they did and how it took over 4 years for 1001 spikes to release or something and blaming their incompetence on the system

 

[praline]

These would be some examples of some the kind of pics I got as a result, pretty flamboyant.

He's a white Peacock though with some red feathers.(Unlike IRL white peacocks which are albino.) I love the coloring of normal peacocks though.

Nice. Albeit... too human looking. The animal people look like animals that walk upright and talk.

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Always had interest in it. So maybe I'll check it out.

I know, I just like to show off Bishonen. Plus like I said, it's human art of Lord Shen from Kung Fu Panda 2, who's already an anthropomorphic peacock.

Oh geez, I hadn't even noticed. I've been in this place for too long.

As for my day, it's been aight. Playing Zelda and waiting for Spring Break which is next week. As for E3, excitement hasn't really hit me yet.

Oh he'd definitely be a bishonen bird man.

E3 excitement is with me every day of the year.

Less than 70 days to go :D

Well, you've been around longer then I have, that's for sure. But for me to reach 10,000 posts will most likely never happen, so... again, congratulations.

You're just about to get your Spring Break, huh? Mine was 2 weeks ago; I wish it had been 2 weeks on its own rather then one, but that's life... as for me, you know what I'm hyped for at E3.

 

[Baskerville]

When's Marvel?

 

[Deleted member]

So Cave Story is getting something new on the Switch. I 'm sure some people here will like that.

"Something new"
It's gonna be the same ****ing **** all over again
I bought the EShop version(aka Cave Story+ but without the weird sprites) and I don't regret it but god, Nicalis can't just keep re-releasing the same game over and over again.

animal people(also some rare bug people)

This just in, bugs aren't animals.

[Moydow]

So I got almost all of the portraits from Echoes uploaded (both status screen and dialogue): https://fireemblemwiki.org/wiki/Category:Shadows_of_Valentia_portraits

All in good old PNG format, so no funny backgrounds or not working in certain browsers, unlike certain sources who I will not name.

I say "almost" because I think a couple of generic enemy portraits were missing from the sources I was using. At the moment I'm looking to see if I can find them somewhere else. Also some of the names are a bit funny because the wiki uses official Japanese romanisations until we get actual English names for them (thank goodness "Qulyf" is no more, at least). Though it shouldn't be too hard to pick out whoever you're looking for, I think.

Also obligatory "beware potential spoilers" warning.

Good, that's what I had in mind when I recommended the idea.

My friend bought tickets to E3, lucky.

You can't have a peacock not be a bishonen frankly.

I wish I could have gotten tickets but I think I have exams on during E3.

Insects are animals.

True, but some people don't think that for some reason.

 

[Deleted member]

And this, kids, is why you shouldn't sleep on biology class

 

[A Distant Demon]

Moydow's sig reminded me I never heard that remixed theme for Roy's amiibo. Off to go listen


Cave story being brought u[p reminded me to download it (it is free after all for some reason). Interact/use is the down arrow. 0/10, worst game ever.

 

[Deleted member]

Shisho, you don't even know what a Micropachycephalosaurus is. Don't act smart.

Actually, even worse than that is that you can't accept that Velociraptors clearly had feathers.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

To be fair, many don't think of insects as animals because they're sooooooo different from a typical animal. An issue is that the term "animal" can be subjective for some.

I don't think of insects as animals compared to various fish, etc. But officially, as pointed out above, they are.

Anyway, if you need more insect ideas, Ants are pretty notable on their own for strength in general. For arachnids, I'd go with a Tarantula.

 

[PLATINUM7]

And this, kids, is why you shouldn't sleep on biology class

That seems outdated.
"True bacteria" and "archaeabacteria" are just called bacteria and archaea now. While they were once thought to be of the same domain of life (prokaryotes), they're now seperated into their own domains (giving 3; bacteria, archaea and eukaryotes).

 

[A Distant Demon]

I read the term "green algae" as "green lasagna"

It's 8 PM and I already need to sleep

An issue is that the term "animal" can be subjective for some.

I don't think that is how science works.

 

[Coricus]

So open world is going to be the new standard for Zelda, then?

I guess you might have a new Zelda fan in that case, LOL.

I don't care about puzzles, TBH. In stuff like Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks they just felt like a mildly inconvenient obstacle to getting back to the fun parts of the game, except that was the game. And well, I liked the stealth even less and BotW gave me horrid flashbacks, but eh at least it was only one point in BotW.

With Breath of the Wild, it wasn't about shoving puzzles in your face constantly. It set you loose in a magical world and just kinda said, "Oh, and here's some puzzles if you feel like getting around to it or something." I didn't have to progress through something I didn't feel like tackling at the time just to unlock something I did, I could just wander off and do whatever I wanted.

I get that a lot of people that are fans of going through a linear game are probably extremely upset and although I know I'm probably going to despite my better judgement I'm nervous to even check, but Zelda wasn't really the kind of game I'd pick up for a linear or even "nonlinear except it's all about the dungeons anyway" experience so I'm pretty OK with this if it means more games like BotW, LOL.

 

[PLATINUM7]

I don't think that is how science works.

Actually it is. There's a lot of conjecture as to what exactly certian terms mean and what falls into them.

For instance, are viruses living or non-living? What is a living thing?

Even the definition for a "dead bacteria" draws debate.

 

[Aetheri]

All Arthropods are classified as Animals...


For some reason I've met people who didn't think fish and birds were 'Animals' either...

One person got offended when I said that we are animals...

What? But bugs are one of the first things you learn that ARE animals. Hell, just by the way they act shoild be enough for anyone to differentiate from, I dunno, plants or bacteria
I could understand it being hard to see something like Sponges as animals but bugs fit the general idea of "visible and moving"

It was just the first pic I could find and what I wanted to illustrate still stands so pls dont make me look dumb :^(

I haven't gone to school in a looooooong time.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

You're forgetting the part where people don't care about science and have their own definitions. That's what I'm getting at. Words do often times have more than one definition. Not saying your point isn't overall right, but it's not to every person.

Also, terminology in Science isn't completely set in stone, as noted above.

DISGUSTING

 

[A Distant Demon]

Honestly, BotW being the new style of Zelda is dissapointning to me. I haven't played BotW yet so I have no idea how good it is, but it feels like Zelda was special. I can't think of many other games like 3D zeldas. I mean yeah, i've only beat two, but the idea of a style going away is always sad when it was so popular.

 

[praline]

Nevermind @redfeatherraven I found one myself.

Not knowing something doesn't make you dumb. Just knowing the domains of life is remembering something. Intelligence is more than just recall. Using what you do know to solve something new is a better sign of intelligence than memorising stuff.

I mean, I haven't studied much biology so does that make me dumb compared to someone with a doctorate in biology? No it doesn't. Comparing their knowledge of what they know really well with what I might have a slight grasp on is comparing apples and oranges.

Quiz shows often make people think that "knowing a lot" = "being smart". It doesn't. Recalling something requires a low level of thinking.

The style was used for 20 years of 3D Zeldas. I think that means it's time to move on

 

[ChikoLad]

Oh yeah, I found a weird bug in KH1FM on PS4 earlier.

Might wanna fullscreen though since Twitter butchered the quality.

>not having time for a good puzzle

DISGUSTING

Puzzles are best when they feel like a natural extension of gameplay rather than trying to do sudoku in the newspaper, IMO.

Technically all gameplay is kinda, sorta a puzzle. But it feels much more enjoyable to me when I'm thinking "how do I make that jump" or "how do I cook that recipe in the way I want to" than "Oh look, there's four unlit torches next to each other. Wonder what the game devs wanted me to do here?"

Subtlety is a magic all it's own. If a game makes you feel clever without making you feel like you just got up from a jigsaw puzzle, that's fun for me.
