Oh, and in Pokemon Go my egg hatched into a Mareep who eventually will be an Ampharos which is my second favorite pokemon.

So, pretty good day so far

So Cartoonetwork put up a two minute video that recaps the events of Steven Universe so far:

Spoilers obviously, but this means two big things.

The first is that this is the first time we have seen something like this and its all to setup the upcoming wanted arc which is really good to see that they are building hype.

Secondly, the description gives us a major plot detail detail (sort of) to the next arc:

Spoiler

Get caught up before watching Steven Universe: Wanted! Here’s a recap of all the previous events before Steven learns more about what happened to Rose Quartz!

So we should finally get concrete info on Rose. This is sort of obvious but I thought most of the background on Rose would be lost due to the rest of the events, so its good to learn more

Getting pretty hyped for the next episodes now!

With some input on Michalis collected, I think I should now ask this Fire Emblem Heroes related question:

Here are the following 4-star units that I am planning on upgrading to 5-star:

• Sharena
• Oboro
• Female Corrin
• Michalis

Of these four units, which one should I upgrade to a 5-star?

I am considering upgrading Sharena or Oboro to 5-star because I am thinking it'd be good to have another 5-star Lancer. The only 5-star Lancer I have right now is Azura, and while she is already fantastic with her Sapphire Lance+ and her Singing ability, I think it'd be a good idea to have another 5-star Lancer. I'm aware about Sharena's advantages already, but I'm also interested in hearing if Oboro is an overall better unit compared to Sharena.

Female Corrin seems pretty good for tanking purposes, and she can do magical damage from one tile away unlike Robin, so that's why I'm thinking of her as well.

Then there's Michelis, who can apparently turn into a godly tank with the right boosts.

Thoughts?

I'd say michalias or corrin for your reasons mentioned.

I don't think those two spear users are too good at 5 stars, but I could be wrong, but I'd say wait for other lancers.

Here's an FE: Heroes related question for everyone here:

I know that Michalis has access to a skill that negates the bow weakness against flyers. I have only received the 3-star Michelis, and I have a feeling I'll upgrade him into 4-star soon to give him the skill.

Now, when it comes to promote one of my 4-stars to 5-star, Michalis would be among the 4-stars I'm considering to upgrade. However, I also already have a 5-star Minerva, who is currently the only good Axe-user I have.

That said, who is the better unit: Michalis or Minerva?

If Minerva is the better unit, I'll just keep Michelis at 4-stars and let Minerva inherit his special skill, but if Michelis is the better unit, he will be among the 4-stars I am considering to upgrade to 5-star.

Both of them serve different purposes. Minerva is definitely one of the Meta units while Michalis is Anti-Meta. Minerva is purely-Offense based while Michalis tanks and counters. Minerva can practically wreak unprepared teams and the majority of units with her Offense Build while Michalis is very good at baiting and taking out some of the more notorious units, including Minerva. Minerva relies on skills that gives high strength like Life & Death and Fury while Michalis can simply have Iote's Shield to add to his bait & tank ability. Because of Michalis's High Defense, alongside Quick Riposte and Bonfire, he can take out alot of units, including Cherche, Minerva and can stand his ground with Hector, and some Red units like Eirika and even Chrom. Regardless of whether you choose Minerva or Michalis, both of them have very weak Resistance and can even be taken out by some Blue Mages depending on their build.

If you have Male Robin, Michalis and Robin actually work really well together. Robin with Triangle Advantage and Blarraven can take out alot of Michalis' counters and he can defend Robin against Physical Greens and aid with Blues. Robin has Spur Defense to help make Michalis more tanky, but Hone Speed is another good one for Robin, as he can help Michalis get doubled less.

If you're referring to Mordo, who quit in the end, he's a villain in the comics. He's Dr. Strange's main human enemy, though given the sort of threats that Strange deals with, I don't know if that really amounts to much.

Spoiler: Spoiler for the MCU but not for the comics because it's been like that since literally the first issue

Baron Mordo. In the comics he turned away from The Ancient One because he picked Strange as a successor over him, as opposed to in the movie where his betrayal dealt with The Ancient One's morally ambiguous magic doing.

He's an incredibly powerful sorcerer and Doctor Strange's main antagonist on earth.

YOU HAVE COME TO DIE! Welcome to die!

J/k.

Although to be honest, the villain's role was rather lackluster, which is sad because it's Mads Mikkelsen. He had good potential, but I think part of it comes that he wasn't doing that much. At least, not so much compared to say, Green Goblin or Dr. Octopus in the first Spiderman films. They were well developed characters and they were doing alot on-screen.

Anyway, I think part of it comes from that this movie was more of a starting point. Basically, they wanted to do something bigger at first, but because they needed to introduce the concept of things like Magic and the Dimensions, rather than try to introduce the concept and go with something big at the same time which can often backfire, they decided to start with the basics and get the concept across first.
If that's the case, I think that's a good thing. Like I said, trying to get the concept across to people and try to add big stuff to it can often backfire due to giving too many things to the viewer to absorb in. Starting with the basics and slowly working them to help the viewer adapt to said concepts tends to make things more enjoyable in the long run.
Now I hope that they still plan on making Nightmare the villain for the next Dr. Strange movie. He actually sounds like a good potential villain and after the astonishing effects of the first movie, I'd like to see how they'd handle what Nightmare could do.

Does anybody have any recommendations for free screen capture software for Windows?

I've been meaning to get around to doing some projects involving my art and would like to record the progress, hopefully upload some timelapses...perhaps other content involving my art at some point...

Of course having a means to record helps, hence the question...

I'm hoping he can continue Sym-Bionic Titan at Adult Swim.

That show was canceled way too soon.

It's the end of the series.

Well, won't you all look at that? I think this calls for a bit of celebration.

In all seriousness though, I have had an account for awhile but have not been using much until maybe around last year in this board. I gotta admit that I like the crowd here. Here's to a few thousand more!

I like to thank the academy, my mom, and my friends.

But most of all, those anime pics I got that kept me up late during those cold, lonely nights.

The following is why you always double check what your interns write. They may actually invent a remake of a game people really want to be re-released.

That would convince me to get a Switch if it came out on it. I wanted to start the series with Ike's games since he's one of my favorites in Smash.

Yo, the MHA 1v1 fights finally started and I couldn't be more hyped

Spoiler

First off, obligatory Iida screenshot because he's my precious son and must be protected
View attachment 129111

Then the main event of the episode, the Deku vs. Shinso fight. Well, it hardly qualifies as one in the traditional sense but I certainly enjoyed it.
Shinso deserved more than just losing at the first round considering he has gotten 6 ****ING EPISODES OF BUILDUP, but oh well, I still love him. His motivations are similar to Deku but the difference in that he was born with a Quirk, just not a "Heroic" one. I also like how he actively defies the Bad Powers, Bad People Trope and tries his hardest to get into the Hero Course.
Aizawa is right, the Faux Villain exam is ****ing dumb.

But how did it do on other countries? I really hope it gets a sequel because I loved that movie.

Spoiler

They also did very well on Todoroki's fight, nearly the same as the manga, yes that also includes Present Mic's expression.I can't wait for the next episode, it's gonna be good.

 

[Ivander]

You know something strange about FEHeroes? Alot of people say Hector with Vantage is a must-have, because of Distant Counter + Vantage + Armads/Quick Riposte....

Yet it can never happen. Armads activates as long as Hector is above 80% HP. The highest Vantage can activate is under 75%. Armads is Quick Riposte 2, and Vantage3 + Quick Riposte2 at the same time in battle can't work. I could understand the misunderstandings at the beginning when Skill Inheritance was a concept at first, but why is this idea of Hector + Vantage = Gamebreaker still a thing?

On the other hand, I wonder how Bruno will work out when/if he becomes available. Unlike Hector's Vantage + Quick Riposte which can't work, Bruno can actually do Vantage + Desperation, like Lyn can(even if she prefers Brash Assault). Depending on how fast he is, that has potential to be deadly, especially if paired with Hone Cavalry.
