Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Potato_]

Alright guys. Cool stuff happened.

Got a $50 card from my best friend as a late Christmas present. I got the following games:

- Hallow Knight
- Celeste
- Stardew Valley

So it looks like I have my hands full.

Have all 3 of these, I'm actually finishing up Celeste atm. All fantastic and have TONS to do, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Only three classes, but they're going to be pretty tough based off what I've heard.

Capstone course in Cyber Defense, Network Security, and Tactical Perimeter Defense.

After those three, all I've got is a Summer internship, and I'll have my degree.

the **** kinda school is this?

 

[Aurane]

Played some Hallow Knight. Its pretty fun. I'm a little stuck at the moment but I'll figure out what to do.

Gonna try out Celeste later. For now, I want to play some Stardew Valley. I lost my old farm I had on my friend's PS4, so its back to square one for me. Not that I care. Stardew Valley is more than good enough for another play through.

Have all 3 of these, I'm actually finishing up Celeste atm. All fantastic and have TONS to do, you'll definitely get your money's worth.

I know Stardew Valley is good. My friend was determined to get me into Hallow Knight. He persuaded me into getting Celeste as well. Either way, these games are what I need to get away from Smash for awhile. Good as it may be, I'm a bit tapped out of Smash at the moment.

Edit: sorry about the dp.

Dang, Bakugo is a darn fine antagonist. He's got a lot of intrigue to his character, and he might be my favorite so far simply because he's the most interesting character so far.

 

[Zinith]

This looks like something out of MGS for some reason. Particularly, the first mission.

I never heard just outside of my apartment "like something out of MGS" before. I don't know whether I should be flattered or concerned

Maybe both?

I will say, it does look pretty cool. Although I guess it's because of the snow and all. There's something really majestic when it snows.

Bakugo is awesome out the gate, and his character gets even more nuance and depth as the story goes on. There's one episode in particular (I think you'll know when you see it) that really put him as something special in my eyes, as far as traditional "cocky rival" characters go.

I could gush about that character for hours. Everything about his arc so far is so well done.

 

[Ura]

Ura has a point.

I was actually thinking of the first mission from the PS1 Metal Gear Solid but that works even better lol.

Even more fitting given the Yoshi cameo in the Gamecube version Metal Gear Solid 2.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Watched the new and likely last Captain Marvel trailer....Carol punching that grandma still cracks me the **** up

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Not many episodes of MHA season 1 left. Will finish s1 tomorrow.

I never realized Adult Swim even had such nightmarish creepypastas...

Jeez, it's creepy indeed.

Adult Swim practically IS a creepypasta in it's own right...

So, you've heard of The Dawn Is Your Enemy, right? I couldn't even get past the thumbnails before I denied it. I thought I was ready...

That’s the only life Adult Swim is allowed to live

 

[Deleted member]

I love obscure creepy stuff. To me it's nostalgic.

Anyone watching AGDQ?

They're interviewing one of the runners for the upcoming horror game block, and there's a freaking Jill Sandwich joke on the whiteboard on set.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Just watched the new Steven Universe...and back to waiting I go I guess

GDQ lost its soul in 2015

It gets way better as it goes on, my favorite character is Todoroki, mainly due to his quirk and I like Tokoyami too, he kind of reminds me of Batman and Falco combined, but his quirk is pretty interesting too.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

only a modern era show meant to be about turtles who fight ninjas and aliens would involve demonic summonings, an apocalypse, rat possession, suicide, murder in general, time travel, the Earth being sucked into a black hole, even weirder combos of pizza, and completely normal relationships

 

[Chrono.]

GDQ lost its soul in 2015

What happened in 2015?

 

[Will]

Spoiler: big image

I didn't expect to make it this far but okay

What happened in 2015?

IIRC 2015 was the year things became extremely strict and whatnot. It feels a bit corporate-y to me nowadays.

[Robert of Normandy]

Welp I was going to upload the Book 1 finale for my LP bust instead I spend the evening chasing down bugs with the ending.

RIP to the three people who would have actually read the update

If that's what they have to do to grow larger and help their causes better, then that's what they have to do.

It's not like GDQ stopped being about playing games fast for charity or anything; and being more strict, in theory, prevents stuff like the infamous Crash Bandicoot 2 run from happening.

Didn't that run happen in 2015 too? What ever happened to that guy.

 

[Will]

looking back on sonic villains...

yeah, probably wasnt the best idea to call him eggman nega

 

[Z25]

Just watched the new Steven Universe...and back to waiting I go I guess

Episode was slow but the ending has some big implications:

Spoiler

Greg is seemingly going to homeworld, probably gets his guitar from the games, and may even get more action in future. Lapis and peridot are also coming no doubt.
My bet is lapidot is happening.

I also don’t think they are fixing the diamond ships. Seems to obvious. I think we could see the warp pads fixed. If thy fixed the ship then I don’t see how any of them could pilot it. It seems made for pearls and diamonds.

Also Lars might come in at the end because Steven contacts him or something. It be weird if he is a no show.

Maybe Lars comes to earth and they suit up the sun Incenrator for more speed.

Lastly what if....

Greg drives a van through someone’s heart?

Spoiler: MHA Spoilers but something I just have to say

LOL at HNC thinking Bakugou is an antagonist.

Bakugou has consistently been among the most popular characters in the series, according to Japanese fan polls, and is currently #1 in the most recent poll, knocking Deku and Todoroki off the top spot.

Horikoshi is really good with the main characters, when a character gets the spotlight, they tend to become more popular as a result; an example being...

Spoiler

...Rogersbase didn't care for Kyoka Jiro (Earphone Jack), but warmed to her significantly after the Culture Festival arc.

Didn't that run happen in 2015 too? What ever happened to that guy.

No idea.

Considering that 2015 seems to be the year they began becoming more strict about the runs, maybe that run was the start of that mentality.

Wait, what infamous Crash 2 run? What happened?

 

[KMDP]

Wait, what infamous Crash 2 run? What happened?

It's complicated. I'll let TV Tropes answer your question.

The Crash Bandicoot 2 run during SGDQ 2015 was a complete and utter cluster****. Runner gamepro11 had already completed a run for Sonic Adventure DX earlier in the marathon, but he was still so nervous that he spent the entire Crash 2 run making poorly-received jokes about suicide and murder, with the run culminating in him soft-locking the game at the final boss right as he hit the estimated completion time. Saying the Twitch chat hated the guy is an understatement: the chat mod/admin had to set the word "cringe" to auto-censor because it was being spammed so much, and a good chunk of the chat hivemind reported the runner's Twitch channel en masse for "violating terms of service". The GDQ staff later banned him from the event, Twitch temporarily hit him with an IP ban, and SDA has deliberately skipped over the run while uploading the marathon to both their YouTube channel and to the Archive. The only way to even watch it is to either watch the VOD on Twitch or find one of the alt language re-streams that has uploaded the run to YouTube.

Just wait till he gets to:

Spoiler

the first half of season 3. I finished up to episode 12 yesterday. The finale for season two made me warm to him more. I figured that he'd being kidnapped by the villains for conversion. It made a lot of sense, but I also knew that this is where he'd likely change his mindset and ways at least slightly.

Something we can see well delivered soon after when he's watching the almight fight against one for all go down. Really good arc imo. Can't wait to finish the rest.

There were so many people who thought that Bakugou would defect back when it was happening in the manga. I never believed for a second Bakugou would actually defect, in fact, the reaction he gave was pretty much exactly what I thought he'd do.

There are many reasons why people inaccurately predicted what would happen: #1 being "Sasuke did it (and MHA is a Naruto clone)"; I think several people made the same mistake the League of Villains did in story, they took his actions at face value while either ignoring, or not understanding, the reasons for his conduct.

I think KaiserNeko (of TeamFourStar) put it best during the AnimeFMK for the episode in question: on some level, people don't want to empathise with Bakugou, because he was a bully; it's easy to relate to the victim (Deku), but very difficult to relate to the tormentor (paraphrased, naturally).

Pretty true. I honestly don't see it being a naruto clone but eh.

But yeah Bakugou was always a ****, but it was more a pride issue, then being evil. I always saw him being more a sort of cliche where because he had pure fire, he takes an angry personality. Not that is bad, but that's just what I thought when I saw him.

Spoiler

The claims of being a Naruto clone were bandied around when the manga first started (it's not incorrect to say that the Hideout Raid arc is very similar to the Sasuke Retrieval arc on a superficial level).

Bakugou's behaviour is very understandable (but not condoneable) when you take into account how he grew up. I watched a video yesterday that went in depth on Bakugou's character pretty well (here, possible spoilers).

He was always told he was the best, that he's destined for great things, and Bakugou came to believe that. Bakugou himself admired All Might, and sought to become like him in the way he perceived him (this is actually a pretty important thing for his character); until he got One for All, Deku represented something Bakugou hates more than anything, weakness; and Deku "making fun of" Bakugou by offering his help despite being far lesser than him when they were children was the spark that made Bakugou hate Deku.

I won't go further into his character, since you're only at Season 3 Episode 12, and there's more from him later in the season that brings this all into sharper focus (and this is all I'll say).

That’s a pretty fair observation. I definitely get where his character comes from which is why I wasn’t to surprised. I’ll probably watch that video after I finish the season

Greg or Steve “dies” and Lars no shows but gets to be normal again...while also keeping his coolness. All this TMNT I’ve been watching got me thinking something bad is gonna happen to one of the Crystal Gems...death specifically
