So, that actually reminds me, I want to ask all of you something- What do you think about climate change now? Have recent global weather patterns changed your mind or affected your opinion about it in any way? Do you think it's just natural or is there cause for concern? No need for essay posts (not feeling like reading them either XD) just a short answer is fine.

I'll answer it myself to start; I believed it when they first started talking about it, and the recent weather patterns are confirming it for me. Here in the South we're getting weather that goes into the high 70's one day and then 30s-40's the next (both highest temps of the day). Needing a thick robe one day, and then skimpy clothes the very next day, it's pretty crazy. I do think there's cause for concern and that people should look more into environmental impacts.

Honestly im getting a little bit scared about the recent climate. I remember about 3 years ago, march was super awesome because it was warm and relaxing. But now it seems like winter last much longer then it normally should. I blame mother nature...... I think we gotta get rid of her......

 

[CORY]

i feel about the same as you, sapphire. the problem is most people are now all "OH HURR! GLOBAL WARMING? LOOK AT THE ICE IN MARCH!". then i want to slap people and be all like "look at the 'once in a lifetime! wait, i mean once a decade! ok, once every couple years?' super storms we're getting now." and try to explain the jet streams and how they corral cold/warm air and explain that when you throw warm air over a huge chunk of ice, you still get cold air, but less ice and on and on and on...

Or maybe just fix what we've done to her

Yeah, that's why they like to call it climate change now. The overall global temp is rising, but local effects could mean getting unusually hot or unusually cold.

 

[Vashimus]

Crazy weather keeps life interesting. I've begun to embrace it.

 

[Brim]

alright winter go away now. March is usually nice and warm, not cold and miserable.

SO many Springs we have are basically another Winter!

Weather's just weather to me. If there's one person I don't try to mingle with is Mother Nature - however I'm not opposed to occasionally doing some pickup.

You have no idea how much I'd love to have that weather - I hate the snow
/dont hate me for it

 

[CORY]

we had that weather.

two days ago.

then yesterday was below freezing all day, with ****ing THUNDER SLEET STORMS. today's high is 39F.

gg, texas.

 

[Brim]

same deal for us here except it can change like that in five minutes i've literally experienced three completely different kinds of weather in 15 minutes

I hate this weather with a passion, but I will admit that thunder snow storms are the coolest thing ever. Couple of weeks ago its snowing like any other night, then all of a sudden theres this giant flash of light blue covering the sky. I hope I never forget it cause it was a pretty cool experience.

 

[Nguz95]

Well I believe in terms of long-term climate change, we are supposed to be sliding toward another Ice Age. As of now humanity has evened out that slope, which might or might not be a bad thing depending on who you are. Honestly I don't know what to think about climate change. Since it's a relatively mysterious (read: contentious) part of science, you could go anywhere and find a study that supports your opinion. It's just another real issue that's getting manipulated by Liberals and Conservatives who want to use it to get elected.

 

[Fortress]

People are complaining about snow? I live in Montana. Get on my level.

 

[QBcrusher]

I'm lookin for a match, anyone want to play?

SCR just ended, I come bearing a gif of a sleepy crimsonblur while d1 points

Whitney's Miltank may be infamous, but her Clefairy just left its mark on Pokemon history.

TPP had Pidgey out, and it gets a Sand Attack in. Later, Clefairy uses Metronome... which turns into ZAP CANNON. (For those who don't know- it's the strongest non contact electric type move in the game but only has 50% accuracy, which Sand Attack has just lowered)

And it hits.

Ggs

 

[IsmaR]

Actually it didn't become the strongest Electric type move until Gen VI. It was only 100 BP in Gen II, 120 after Gen IV (tied with Thunder, which got dropped to 110 with the latest Gen)

Still, good ****.

 

[GP&B]

It was never the Miltank.

 

[Vashimus]

In HeartGold, I remember that Clefairy went for Metronome and OHKO'd my Croconaw with Seed Flare.

Metronome makes setting up on it with X-items much scarier than it has to be.

LOOOOOOOOL

 

[HyperrCrow]

Get the Emerald one!

That's the one my preference was on, haha, and not just because of the price. Thanks for the input Jolt, I think that's definitely the one I'll get.

Also, M2K is coming to Boston tomorrow to watch my school (Umass Boston) face off versus Umass Amherst in a crew battle for The Melee Games. .______. Jeez

 

[Kink-Link5]

Well it sounds like that guy is just playing pokemon in the most fun way.

Oh my godddddd

"is champ there?" "who is champ?" "THAT QUESTION WILL BE ANSWERED THIS SUNDAY NIGHTTTTTT!"

I will never understand Pokemon speed running. You are deliberately gimping yourself because you can't afford to grind (and it's not like some RPGs where you can pick up ridiculous moves and near auto win the game) and you're working with an insane amount of RNG in terms of accuracy, criticals, and especially AI move choice.

I've never been a fan of speedrunning in general since it turns every game into Guitar Hero -- As long as you keep doing it over and over and execute perfectly, you can be the best! I mean the idea of pushing a game as far as it can go is interesting, but it's just the kind of thing that seems more like a chore than an acomplishment.

Not to take any glory away from speed run record holders; it just takes away any and all sense of connection with the game itself for me.

On a parka related note, Ice Climbers' D-throw and Nana physics seem off (Nana seems to magnet too close to the ground if she SH's while Popo is grounded to fair after his D-throw), but no freezing on Down-B is just the bee's knees. Nana very consistantly using U-Throw is a great boon too. It makes for some nifty team combos.

 

[Eternal Yoshi]

My god. This snow will not stop. Even a little snow has resulted in thin layers of ice that are more slippery than Sonic's controls in Heroes.

 

[Plum]

I'm a few pages late but somebody tried to say that Team Rocket is NOT the best team in Pokemon.
whack

 

[9bit]

It's not snowing here right now, but it snowed yesterday and they say it's gonna snow tomorrow.

Is any SCR2014 Smash up on YouTube? I need something to do while I not go outside in this **** weather.

 

[KayB]

Shroomed SD'ing versus Westballz in SCR was probably the most heartbreaking thing I've ever seen.

LOOOOOOOOL

10/10 I actually laughed.

 

[Gamegenie222]

When someone SD's in a high lvl match it's always heartbreaking.

Unless they make a comback from it and then it's like

I don't think you understand the scenario that he SD'd. It shattered dreams. Especially for Norcal.

That's hilarious and messed up at the same time.

Hell yeah it shattered dreams but I was rooting for Westballz cause Falco biased lol.

 

[Deleted member]

Are you going to that tournament on the 9th, @ CORY ?

I need a salty runback Ganon vs Falcon MM. :D

 

[DrinkingFood]

Got 2nd going ROB in a 33 man Project M tourney in Baton Rouge (Tha Shrimp 004). 33 is actually pretty big for down here, I think the largest PM tourney down here ever was like 40 people, which I got 5th at, so yeah...
At least I earned back the price of my trip, gas, food, and entry fees, give or take a few dollars.

 

[Empyrean]

Not to sound like a condescending ****, but you guys don't have a clue of what cold weather is lOl.
