The new GHB was cool but pretty easy. They all grouped up so my Sothe and Morgan had a field day destroying them with axzura. I didn't even need Elise there for healing.

Someone fill me in: what the **** is Ready Player One? All I know about is the Long Leg from the movie poster
Long story short, it takes place in the 2040s and virtual reality has hit its stride. Something called the Oasis is the big thing; from what I understand it's an expansive virtual world that people can do whatever they want in, while being whoever they want. Then there's some sort of contest to see who gets to become the new owner while a corporate baddy tries to steal it for himself. And then there's a ton of nerdy pop culture references.

So basically "Willy Wonka and the VR Chat."

The movie draws criticism from many from just trying to pander to different fanbases, placating them by putting a character they know in as a cameo. The book itself is also divisive. Most of the reviews are fine, and then I read excerpts from it and I don't understand how due to how it reads almost like self-insert fanfiction at times. Bare in mind I've never read the full thing though, but what I did read didn't leave a good impression.

A book that people think is good because "OMG THE AUTHOR IS A NERD AND I UNDERSTAND THAT REFERENCE!" It's getting a movie adaptation from Steven Spielberg who said he wanted to emulate the "I CLAPPED WHEN I SAW THE THING I KNOW" feeling. The book itself is poorly written and the movie adaptation got Iron Giant who then proceeds to shoot and wreck **** despite Iron Giant's movie having a major "War and violence is bad' theme

Last night's drama is getting to my head.

Had trouble sleeping, have trouble feeling happy about myself, etc.

All just because of one tiny mistake I had already apologized for.

Life's never been fair to me. How the hell did I expect it to be for that one thing?

Gonna do what I did with World War Z.

Read the book, ignore the movie.
I hear the book isn't much better either and what I've read goes to treads the line to creepo territory.
If I remember correctly most of this comes from an unsourced fan wiki. The Fire Emblem subreddit was talking about it when Marth and Ike were said to appear due to it.
Welp, I'm not surprised.

The main character stalks the female lead when rejected because we're supposed to think it's romantic when someone won't leave you alone. Also there's a line in the book that's like "Are you a woman? A REAL woman, as in you never had a sex change?" which will NOT ****ing fly if they kept that in the movie

Eh. It's already in the house, may as well. Eventually, anyway.

If it turns out the book's terrible, that just gives me even more incentive to follow through with the original plan.

**** happens, bro. And boy, did it happen.

But you're aight. You apologized, and far as I know those that remain closed that chapter.

Move forward accordingly, but don't go beating yourself senseless over it.

My favorite Fate running gag is that Elizabeth's singing is REALLY bad and no one can stand it.
Then to compensate for all the Nero shilling back in Rome, the next mission had these gems

I'n honestly getting tired of IS just slapping Dazzling Staff on every Healer for GHBs and BHBs.
Lucius was bad enough but at least it was immediatelly after the refinements came out and was used to demonstrate that Healers Can Be Good.
But now it's on EVERY challenge map and it's getting boring because all it does is ounish Enemy Phase teams.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I can see why it's getting so much flak.
The premise of the virtual world is interedting but it gets thrown out of the window in favor of a "stop the bad guy" plot.

Now I wonder if I'd restart a NG+ right away or wait for the new rare Blade coming this spring first.
504 hours? Dang, I'm only reaching 400 hours right now.

For your question, I say it depend how the new blade will be, if it's affinity chart is full of hard endgame stuff or if the blade is like Infinity Fan, maybe wait until you got it. If the new blade affinity chart is easy to do or you can get it by RNG, then just start a new game.

Look. Don't beat yourself up over it. You apologized, that's more than most people can ever be bothered with.

Judging by their last several interactions with the thread something was going to happen eventually regardless. They clearly have a lot of bad memories that get brought up very easily, it could have just as easily been anyone else in the thread and it already nearly was a couple times. Don't beat yourself up so hard.

To be fair, that's also my problem with virtually every romantic comedy ever. Still a huge issue, just not one exclusive to RPO.

No, people. When a girl isn't interested, you don't do these stalkerish grand romantic gestures to wear her down until she says yes. In real life, that's called "reason enough to call the police and get a restraining order."

That reminds me of Gravity Falls doing something different, Wendy's heartbroken and upset and Dipper tries asking going out, she snaps because she's upset and how it CLEARLY isn't time for her to start a new relationship

Thanks, mouse and squid.

Really hard to follow that up without getting too personal, and I don't want to be responsible for another sad moment lol

-starts watching YouTube videos-

-mom sings loudly enough about how much of a baby I am loudly enough to basically mute the video, even though we're on different floors-

-I press pause, she stops-

-I press play, she continues-

-I press pause again, she stops and laughs-

It's like she's trying to piss me off on purpose...

Gudako: "Yeah, you know who else is beautiful?"
Mash, blushing: "W-who?"
Gudako: "Kojiro"
Kojiro, laying down between them: "Aww, that's so nice, thanks"


Also, since it's relevant, here's a video on the Stalking For Love trope
I highly recommend their other videos that discuss problematic tropes like this

I wish there was a site that is nothing but memes, no news,no drama, no whatever. Just memes so I can finally laugh at something
Simply go to facebook. Unfollow every news page and every friend and only follow meme pages.

That's what I do atleast.

Just looked at the last 10 pages.
It seems like every time there's drama in this thread, I miss it unless I'm the one that causes it.

I saw @Burb mention it earlier, but is there really no archive of our old 2014/15 discussions? I would love to look at the old leaks threads. Is there really none left?

That sounds like a good thing.

...so.

I may have misread that.



And now I may not be able to un-misread it.

Send help.
OH GOD, I CAN'T UNSEE IT NOW! :laugh:

This is probably fake but Shulk might cameo in Ready Player One.
Movie still **** though.
No interest in the movie nor I don't care what it's critic and audience receptions are in the end. But looking at the huge number of those posts going, "WHY GOD WHY?!" or "STOP IT'S ALREADY DEAD!" or "RUINED! CURSED MOVIE!", with a couple of "I don't see what's wrong." or "I think them appearing is rather cool." made me laugh quite a bit.

Wait what? Give me the source!

The Leaks group is still there, the Official Leaks threads, however, aren't.
I wasn't around when the forums still had a dedicated leaks thread but I remember the E3 2014 leaks one was deleted after E3.

There's nothing saying I can't post there though unlike locked threads. Does it work differently?

EDIT: apparently, I can still do it.
Zeb said that because as soon as you do, 50281769310284052 people shall get a notification to fling **** at eachother, and once that happens the planets will align, creating a new version of Skyrim
