I don't use "random" emote, I use emote that show my mood on the moment.

You know, like emotes were meant in the first place?
I knew it!!!!

Also I am going to go to school.
See you all in a bit.

But TBH imagining Tigger as a member of the Dark Brotherhood is what gets me the most out of Skyrim casting.

Even if that voicetype is on several NPCs. And I already knew the guy did a ton of crazy roles before. And his doing double 100 Acre Wood duty as Pooh is more of a stretch.

Ah, Jim Cummings, always the "wait, you're in this too what the HELL??" guy. Always.

I had a friend who's a MASSIVE Xbox fanboy. Back in the 7th gen of gaming, he actively used Xbox's paid online as a reason as to why it made the 360 better than the PS3.

I hate having to pay for online myself. I miss when Nintendo's stance was not making you have to pay more money on top of what you paid for the console and the games. Unfortunately it really just comes down to the costs of maintaining everything. There's probably an argument about Nintendo selling P2P but for dedicated servers it's very generous to get them for free.

It's like why websites have ads. If keeping a website up was free, there wouldn't be any. If an online service could be run at no cost, it'd be free. If you're a business that can get people to pay for you, rather take money out of your own pockets, why wouldn't you? Sucks for the consumer but at least the big 3 are trying to incentivise people to do so, to varying degrees of success obviously.
Like I said to ChikoLad, I get your point about it. Things cost money. However, these are three large multinational corporations with lots of businesses. I'm no expert in financial matters, but can't they easily use the earnings provided by their other businesses to recoup the costs of the "servers"? Wouldn't that be logical? Microsoft has Azure, Windows, Office, Surface, etc., Sony has other electronics businesses besides PlayStation as well as Sony Pictures. And Nintendo is making lots and lots of money in the mobile space.

If they want to charge you for it, then that's greed in my eyes. I really doubt Nintendo's service will dramatically improve. I don't think it will, and I'm not saying that because I've been upset about this. I'm legitimately doubting that the P2P junk you see right now will be replaced by real servers.

not suprised tbh. they must be salty they dont have 19.99
Yeah. Screw those who are in rough economical situations and can't make money as fast as one normally would. Maybe one was gifted a Switch by a someone with a very stable income, but the new owner can't get the right things for it right away because he or she lacks the funds needed and won't be able to get a game or anything for a long time, not even this thing (the one year variant. Why would one want the other two options is beyond me).

I just find it hard to believe that emulator creators wouldn't know what the vast majority of their target base uses it for. Very few people care about the historical preservation of anything, a very lot of people want free stuff. It's a basic observation, and nearly any person you'll find talking about emulators on forums will admit to just using them to get games for free.

Emulator makers aren't necessarily do it to pirate, of course. They more than likely are doing it because it shows off their coding skills, or perhaps much more cynically because they don't see it as piracy and want to play Robin Hood. But nearly everyone that uses their programs, on the other hand. . .
By this logic, Nintendo and any hardware manufacturer can be considered "pirate enablers" for other company's games because people can play pirated games on their systems too. Pirated games that might be made by third party companies, like a Sonic game or a Capcom game.

It's true that people use emulators to play games for free, I know many people that do. While I could take this further and get into legitimate reasons to pirate games other than "free stuff" (since they exist), at the end of the day, the emulators themselves are not breaking any laws in most cases. Generally speaking, as long as an emulator doesn't borrow direct source code from a company, or doesn't have copyrighted imagery (like using Mario's face as the app icon for the program), and isn't being sold for profit (though even this one has exceptions), it's safe from any legal pursuit.

People usually lose their sense of humor when they've decided they have a cause to stick up for.

It's why vegans got stuck with the stereotype they did.
Or because comments via text have no absolute identifier that lets one know if they are being sarcastic, joking or whatever. I know I used to, but I stopped using emoticons and ran into the same problem before.

Well I mean

It's Pumpkaboo.

If a topic people are treating seriously pops up and she's not actively annoyed at it, she's probably joking around.

While the online perks aren't mind blowingly amazing, it good enough for me and I can't argue the price, plus I know I'll be doing a lot of Switch online.

And I plan to drop my Xbox One online subscription as I basically never use it.

I mean I'm not accusing her or anything, but the issue is that through the text alone, "actively annoyed" is a legitimate way to read it. That's how I read it before I knew she was joking.

The 19.99 quip?

I pinned that as a joke immediately.

Does this make me the Pumpkaboo whisperer?

And getting scarier all the time.

F!Grima has Goad Dragons now.
Oh god...

this is my main team atm

I just put characters I like together and form a team. I know it isnt the 'right' way to play but its more fun for me
Nothing wrong with that.

If Moydow taught me anything, it’s that almost every unit can be turned into something fantastic with enough investment and dedication.

Heck, I did that with normal Male Robin.

But giving Lightning Breath to Grima is still a big goofy goof though.

Welp.

Guess you'l just have to see this when you get back then.

Dragons? How boring.
She isn't even fully built yet, and yet she could take out every single unit on your team in a single hit (it helps that she is +Atk). This is why you don't neglect Tiki's Res. :p

With a +res refine and a bane that isn't -res, Tiki would be able to tank and kill Julia (or Deirdre) and live with 2 HP remaining. Julia/Deirdre is a rare enough case that you probably don't need to worry too much about them, but in general stacking Def much higher than mid-40s is kind of wasted. At that point, assuming the unit has mid-20s-ish base Res, it's probably better to invest in that a bit and go for a mixed tank. (It depends on the team, too; some teams benefit quite a bit from having someone who can shrug off any and all physical damage. So having multiple options to suit multiple teams is good.)

That's the one thing I'd say about this team. Apart from that it looks pretty solid to me.

I just really hope certain skills become more available in time. Steady Breath for Marth and Attack Tactic for Caeda are things I'd really like, but they're not realistically attainable for me at the moment.

Yes, yes, the anti-dragon tome wrecks Dragon Emblem.

I settled for breaking Falchions by the dozens, beating dead Horse Emblems, tearing ponies out of the sky, and leaving Armor Emblem teams looking like disassembled IKEA furniture.

Against Naga wielders, I use F!Grima to rush Tiki in and take them out; if I sacrifice Tiki in the process, that's a shame, but it is what it is.

On defense, I mostly have to hope you don't Julia in your arena squad. I don't have the resources to stack Res any more than the Res is currently stacked.

But that Julia in particular...even with a DB3, I'm gonna need to see that math.

Picture F!Grima with Vantage and Tiki with...I'm thinking Fortify Dragons, perhaps?.

You know. Just for trial run's sake. Long term thoughts.
Those seem like good options.

Then again, I’m not a Dragon expert, so...

Dragons? How boring.

Now, for curiosity’s sake, how would Julia fare against my Grima?

He’s +4, HP is 50, Res is 28 and he has Warding Stance 3.

Reminds me of certain FEH players who call F2P players "greedy" because they don't want to dump money on a mobile game to "support" it.
I swear, to the gaming community, if you can't or don't want to spend extra money on games, you're a spawn of Satan.

I'm sitting on two spare Valentines Lilinas that I don't know what to do with.

Would give one to you if I could.

I don't give a crap if you spend your diddly widdly cash or not.

I just care whether or not you go on and on and on about how you're not doing it.

Lemme spend my own beaverhousing cash in peace and clog up Nintendo's Twitter DMs instead if plural you wants to say it a fifteenth time.

I agree. I mean, some premium skills like wrath, breaths, close/distant counter I can understand being locked to 5 star units, because in the end this is a business and they want you to pull for those skills. But there are so many skills that should be available easier... All the stances should be 4 star skills, that way enemy phase units would have more diverse builds, which is the thing I want as of now the most.

Maybe one day the game makes a fodder store where you can buy skills to teach your units, but I'm not banking on it in the near future since they want you to pull the units for the fodder. Only time will tell.

Now, for curiosity’s sake, how would Julia fare against my Grima?

Res is 28 (neutral, but got a +1 from merges) and he has Warding Stance 3.
From calcs she does 57 damage, so yes, she one shots your precious Grima.

Well, yeah. I mostly just wanted to use the extreme case to make a point. Like I said, they're rare enough that you probably don't need to worry about them specifically most of the time, but having more options to deal with magic in general is always useful.

But that Julia in particular...even with a DB3, I'm gonna need to see that math.
I overlooked the fact the blessing adds +3 HP, which is enough to save Tiki (I never really use the things and tend to forget the specifics of how they work). Excluding that:

- 55 base Atk + 6 from Death Blow 3 = 61
- 61 boosted by 50% from effective damage = 91.5
- 91.5 decreased by 20% due to weapon triangle = 73.2, rounded down to 73

- Tiki has 21 base Res, boosted to 25 with Ward Dragons, boosted to 27 with ally support

- 73 - 27 = 46, Tiki dies in exactly one shot (except she doesn't really because who knew blessings could actually be useful? Oh well.)

If I wanted, I could stick Res Ploy or something on Julia and tip the scales back in her favour, but eh.

Now, for curiosity’s sake, how would Julia fare against my Grima?

He’s +4, HP is 50, Res is 28 and he has Warding Stance 3.
Long story short, he dies and you need to find an extra 8 Res from somewhere.

Exact numbers:
- 55 base Atk + 6 from Death Blow 3 = 61
- 61 boosted by 50% from effective damage = 91.5, round down to 91

- 28 Res + 6 from Warding Stance = 34

- 91 - 34 = 57 damage, Grima dies since he only has 50 HP

... Ouch. :urg:

It's so damn close too. Only 7 HP.

But oh well, not like I don't have answers for that.

Having an armor team consisting of one of each color type definitely helps in some matchups :p

...You know, since I got my dice yesterday, I kind of wonder what the status of that D&D game a few of us were planning on having is. Last I checked the PM is in stasis until Opossum Opossum uploads their character page and @Cure_Lily was working on building the lore still, but I feel like it's been days since I last checked up.

*checks*

OK more like. . .two weeks?

Damn dude, r/NintendoSwitch are on meltdown.

People just saying they're fine with the price or service gets you downvoted or gets you called a sheep and a fanboy.
I knew there was a reason why my mind kept telling me, "No! Don't go there! It'll be nothing but madness and despair!" :smirk:


That aside, the Online does need work and they need to get the better details out if they want to sell to people. Like the price is much nicer compared to PSPlus and whatnot, but just Cloud saves and a good price are certainly not enough to appeal. And we still don't know how good the online will be just yet. It may be dedicated, but that means nothing if online games like Splatoon 2 and especially Smash Bros still turn out to be laggy.

There is some very high potential for that video game service with the games and whatnot if they do add more than just NES games, but the way it currently is, it is definitely relying quite a bunch on nostalgia. But if Nintendo actually plays it to it's potential, it could be something great.
Although then again, I just want to see Mario Party 2 with online released just to see how much the rage quit scale breaks. :laugh: *Mario Party 2 on Switch is the most rage-quit game in existence*

Anyway, Nintendo needs to really get the big details out and impress with this in general if they want to get people sold on it.
