My creative cloud said it did not receive my last payment so I rushed to see if my bank balance was empty

No, it was not.

I just remembered the reason.

My old card expired. I have a new card now.

That scared me

[powerprotoman]

so i got bored and said "i wonder what an alolan ponyta would look like
and so because i have zero talent as an artist i did what any sane person would do and sprite edit

i decided for some reason it would be electric type(well i say that but i originally wanted to do an electric flying rapidash but again low artistic talent...i wanted to give it storm cloud wings)

as for what i did...well i used shiny rapidash's fire pallet to turn fire into smoke(in a more skilled artists hands this would be storm clouds) as for the new pallet i used elekids for everything but the slight yellow circle pattern which i opted for raichus cheeks as i felt that i shouldnt be as lazy as alolan vulpix when it came to design and i really liked to look of the horses in breath of the wild

this has been 3 am ideas with powerprotoman feel free to take my idea and make
actually good art with it because i sure as **** wont be able to

You know what they really could do? Bring back Hex Maniac with her gen 6 design. I need an explosion of art for her (especially if it involves milk~). And Lusamine would be in the same game. Make them interact for oodles of shipping art.

SuMo had too many forgettable characters. I wanna know more about the Flying-type E4 member who is a pro golfer.

And I want a gosh darn ice specialist.

I think I just realized part of the reason the Sonic and Mega Man Twitters are great while the Nintendo Twitter is significantly more awkward. Well, aside from the obvious lack of practice and corporate stifling, but we already knew those parts.

Sonic and Mega Man are both character Twitters rather than company Twitters. They have a tighter focus and can go off the rails more often as a result, and they take an absolute glee in echoing the personalities of the characters they represent as a result. What Nintendo could use is a character Twitter that also channels the personality of the character in the post.

Of course. . .the problem therein is that Nintendo's most popular characters are largely pieces of cardboard with a couple of rather quiet ones mixed in and the really good ones for this are usually kinda B-list. THAT SAID, I will say that the Squid Sisters are both popular enough and have the perfect in-universe excuse to both have a corporate social media and send it completely off the rails. . .

The entire cast of Kid Icarus Uprising need Twitter.

Wario could be funny I guess.

Judging by how the Dragon trial didn't have a captain, and Ryuki is a Dragon-type specialist, I think he may have been intended to serve as Trial Captain, but may have been a low priority. Would be cool to learn more about him.

SuMo had too many forgettable characters. I wanna know more about the Flying-type E4 member who is a pro golfer.

To some degree, I agree. There weren't too many forgettable characters, for me at least. I was disappointed that the

Spoiler: Elite Four stuff

Elite Four wasn't entirely compromised of the Island Kahunas. Would've loved to see Nanu and Hapu up there. Acerola is fine, but we know little to nothing about Kahili. Would be nice to know more about her, since she just kinda popped up out of no-where.

One thing I really, really want to see in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon would be a return of the Pokemon World Tournament. The ability to battle all of other region's Gym Leaders and Champions, as well as specialists for all types, was my favorite part of Black 2 White 2. Tha Battle Maisons and Battle Tree just don't cut it for me.

Nintendo does have a Super Mario Facebook page, they just don't characterise for whatever reason.

Nintendo's memes on their social channels often only reflect the particular games they are trying to promote that are coming out soon, while the Sonic and Mega Man ones are more about general brand awareness. Sonic Twitter does make jokes about Mania, Forces, and Boom, but they also make jokes and references about older titles like the Adventure Era games, which I think is a large reason why they're received better than Nintendo's efforts. Nintendo also tend to reference some generic meme that's either trending or dated, rather than memeing something that's specific to their franchises. Waluigi is about the only thing they let on that they are aware is a meme.

They should really try to up their social media game though. I remember Cranky Kong's Twitter takeover was received pretty well, they should make accounts that are all about that sort of thing.

Now I'm imagining what different Mario characters would post on Twitter...

So I got a Nintendo Switch system, a Neon Joy-Con set, and a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
And Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which is a port of a three-year old Wii U game.

But it's been pretty cool so far.

So do I!

So, I only have the money to buy the console, screen protector and a case.
I have did nearly everything to see if my Switch has problems or not.
I checked if my Switch is warped, left joy con desync, dock scratch etc.
And I do feel that Switch is pretty heavy but it feels pretty comfortable, I feel the grip is good to hold as well. The one joy con though, needs to get used to a bit. And the dock does scratch the screen, but I have my screen protector so that's not an issue.

I did almost the same thing, and you guys may be surprised but I actually found the right Joy con to have minor desync, I mean only minor desync when I went about 4 meters away (My dorm is small) and put joy cons on my back . Left Joy Con has no desync whatsoever in the same condition.

So far I am safe to say my Switch is 90% normal, I haven't got any game so I don't know if my Switch reads game perfectly or not.

Well played Ghast. Well played.

It's gonna be free to play soon dispite Pitchford going "NUH UH IT'S A TRIAL PERIOD" iirc so wait till it's free to try it out

Thing is, it's like, €6.99 at a local store.

There's a flash sale there and I was thinking on picking up some cheap games, and that's the cheapest one.

Oh, there are shops in China who sell Battleborn for less than an empty PS4 game, but wait till the free trial period happens as Pitchford doesn't deserve money until the free trial

What did the gaming industry do this time?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Remember Aliens Colonial Marines and how it was ****? Randy Pitchford was the head of that, claiming he loved the franchise. It ****ed up the canon, was an absolute scam and falsely advertised with the ******* gloating about winning a court case against the game and saying something along the lines of "People who say the game is bad are like people who say 9/11 was an inside job". He deserves to get as many kicks to the ******** as he can get imo
Oh, and in case I wasn't clear, Pitchford's the head behind Battleborn too

Well played Ghast. Well played.

I thought he was serious at first but then he said "Spd is the worst stat in SoV" and started talking about Fatigue Tolerance, then I realised he was REALLY serious, Valbar is obviously top tier

OK but I doubt my €6.99 would go towards him.

It's probably used copies if they're that cheap, and even if they aren't, Gearbox makes a few cents at most out of it, if anything at all.

The first Power Stone poll went to a close with Edward Falcon as the winner. @Champ Black's waifu Ayane was very close to beating him however. Julia and Ryoma however were unpopular with the latter getting vote.

Next is more Power Stome, running into a popular belly dancing female character and fan favorite Dragon Ball Z parody. The other two men are the odder ones of the bunch, one being a chef. Your choices are Gunrock, Wang Tang, Rouge, and Gourmand.
