...good evening, thread

a thought I just had: why do elections vote in terms of seats and not actual votes overall? I know of way too many people in southern states who refuse to vote knowing that the current system results in their vote being drowned out by conservative votes, and so it's effectively worthless to do so

theres entire careers dedicated to highlighting how much american politics sucks. this election might be the most readily apparent example yet

you mean electoral congress? well, founding fathers were a bit worried what would happen if the uneducated masses had total control over the presidential decision.

looking at trump, it doesn't seem entirely unfounded.

though, it does have the consequences you just mentioned, so...

There was a problem fetching the tweet

oh cool, I thought it was just the left side that got apathetic and nihilistic. even when trump should be a guaranteed 100%, he still doesn't have people who want to tolerate him

canada has a similar issue with seats--if anything it can get a bit weirder, since you're actually voting for your provincial leader, who then votes for PM--but we kinda skirted it last election. it was kind of funny, since the media assumption was "well, people have to vote strategically between the NDP and the liberal party, surely!" but then so many young people turned up to vote liberal that they had a massive majority so it worked out

our most controversial politics recently was when trudeau accidentally elbowed someone in the face during a house of commons shoutymatch, so... it must not be too bad, I suppose

I'm so ignorant to politics, it's insane tbh

Politics is cancer

Can we just convince Obama to take a 3rd term, he seems like a cool dude

No, because having more than 2 terms was made illegal after FDR had four.

Ahhh, Injustice. We are talking about a game where a character literally had all of these things:

• A safe, tracking, fullscreen overhead teleport move that could be used instantly out of a jump for increased speed, avoid projectiles, completely nullify the opponent's use of interactables, open up high-damaging combos from fullscreen and cross up ambiguously on a lot of knockdowns and other situation (including a simple jumping approach)
• A trait that not only boosted said character's damage, but also extended the range on all of their attacks to a really ridiculous degree where certain attacks shut down nearly every approach option and could be comboed off of with a low teleport attack
• Incredibly safe normal strings (which were made even safer by aforementioned trait), including fast overheard and low attacks that could also be reactably confirmed into specials or other normals that either started combos or were safe or plus on block depending on whether the opponent blocked them or not
• A orb attack that built tremendous meter, was completely flexible in terms of placement, and when meter-burned put the enemy in enough blockstun to do literally whatever you wanted afterward so that in most cases it forced the opponent to block and try their guessing skills at a free mixup into a potentially damaging combo
• Not one, but two other incredible projectiles that could be angled and manipulated over insane distances, both of which also shut down the other character's use of interactables, one which tracked and began combos from full screen when meter-burned and the other which covered almost the entire screen when meter-burned
• A grab that was unlike any other grab in the entire game in that it didn't zoom the screen in for an animation to give you advanced notice to tech, and also was completely ambiguous as to which direction it would send you in until it actually happened, so it was amazing to use out of, say, incredibly plus block setups into free mixups
• Knockdown setups that forced the opponent into frame disadvantage when they stood up for a free overhead/low mixup using aforementioned godlike normals that could lead into a combo ending in another such knockdown setup...
• ...or knockdown/block setups that resulted in unblockable, unavoidable interactable damage that was completely unaffected by damage scaling
• A wakeup attack that was completely invincible, plus on block, and sent the opponent full-screen (for more of aforementioned godlike zoning) if they got caught by it in a naive attempt to try and gain some kind of advantage over you when you were in a knockdown state rather than just leaving you alone after knocking you down like a sensible person in a fighting game would(???)
• A goddamn air-dash to approach over projectiles and set up crossups, which could also be meter-burned as many times as you could afford in order to air-dash up to five times in a row without touching the ground (literally nobody else with an air dash can do this what the hell)
• And all of these things that require meter are no sweat because all of the special moves that build meter upon use are amazing and also build proportionately a lot of meter, so if you get caught in his veritable meat grinder of setups and combos and you decided to clash out, he always had enough meter to get by
• And to cap it all off, some of the best in-match quotes and quips out of the whole cast

****'s dumb, yo.

And the catch? It's a DLC character. $8.99 if I remember correctly. People who gripe about Bayonetta have no idea how good they have it, I'll say that much. The only redeeming factor is that this character is Martian Manhunter, the only character on the Injustice roster who is canonically powerful enough to have any excuse to be so broken and would absolutely beat Superman any day because he is just that awesome.

,,,Shut up nerd.

Did somebody say Injustice~?

Good times.

Kingdom Hearts 2.8 looks cool but I don't own a PS Quadruple, just a PC that would be able to run the game better if Square Enix weren't weird about choosing platforms. ;_;
Also Aqua's English VA is the same and I'm not entirely on board with that.

Edit: Now that I think of it my graphics card is nothing mega powerful, but if it were on PC I would at least be able to tone down the settings in favor of a frame rate higher than 30 (and the upcoming KH games are likely still 30).

i honestly just don't care until they legit put out kh3. all this "kh: sqrt[3] birthing sleep chains with memories that never die: final super extra high definition rerererereremix: v.2.0" stuff just doesn't do it for me.

I feel ya but I've been wanting a game (even a small one) with just Aqua as the lead and this is it.
Also to be fair BBS is considered a main game, not a side game.

Typically, I'd agree with ya bud. However...

HD DDD lets me play that game without having to worry about any touchpad stuff and lets me use an actual controller, Backcover is an actual fully rendered 3D movie and it looks pretty darn good and BBS 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage (Good lord, that name) is intentionally made to be a preview of KH3's battle system before we get the actual game. (So yeah, it's KH3: Ground Zeroes.)

With all that in mind, I'm actually pretty darn okay with 2.8. Plus, it's the last KH thing being released before KH3, it's being released worldwide on it's release date and they'll (finally) speak up more about KH3 at that same time, so I'm willing to let everything slide this last time as long as all of that does indeed remain the case.

They're all considered main games, actually. There are no side games in KH as far as the staff (read: Nomura) is concerned.

 

[CORY]

Plus, it's the last KH thing being released before KH3

or so we hope...

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

or so we hope...

Well, it's called "Final Chapter Prologue" for a reason. Along with 2.8 and 0.2 being given those names because adding them makes 3...Hey, Nomura said it. I think it's dumb, too. XD

The only reason I can actually feel safe and certain of nothing else coming out is because Square can't actually afford to do anything else right now even if they wanted to. lol

 

[Jolteon]

or so we hope...

Please look forward to Kingdom Hearts 2.95

Aqua is best girl.

Fixed.

Nomura: Well, you guys said you wanted KH3! It has a "3" in there!

 

[Giygacoal]

Aqua is best girl.

I have proven that using mathematical induction.

Iirc Nomura once described 3D as more of a main game than a side story, which implies there is a sort of ranking.

Oh, absolutely. She's amazing. <3

Though, to be fair, she also doesn't have much competition considering that every over girl in KH is either a pain in the butt, useless, or just a sadistic *****.

Nomura's crew should get going on Aqua merch so I can buy stuff like an anime person with plenty of money. He had the time to make those silly Batman figures.

Agreed. <3

Also, going back to your previous post, you're pretty much right. The KH Caste System pretty much goes like this:

Canonical Games That Matter Most: KH1FM, Re:CoM, KH2FM, BBSFM, DDD, 2.8

Canonical Games That Matter Least: Friendship and Ice Cream: The Game: The Movie: The Game (aka 358/2 Days), Re:Coded, Both X(chi) games as of 2.8.

Notice a trend? The games that mattered are all the main features of the HD Remixes while the ones that don't matter as much were just made into HD cutscene packages. XD

Oh right, CORY , I recently found out one of my cousins is a fellow big Beauty and the Beast fan yet doesn't like Gaston at all (other than the casting choice in the upcoming live action movie). Truly an under-appreciated Disney hero. ;_;

I'm dont actually dislike ihop that much, but for the sake of the crew battle I was arguably the worst person on either team so I have to make it up with team spirit]
