I really wish the "Dragon Quest™ XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition™ " game was available for playing on my Nintendo Switch system.

It's funny since I remember you earlier saying you wish the DLC gave you characters you were familiar with/wanted. Now it seems like the DLC has successfully sold you on a new series, lol (I've certainly been there).

Hi everyone what's happening right now?

I'm watching Pokemon XY with a friend. Things are pretty chill. I'm also psychologically analyzing every character and checking their personality types because I'm a nerd.

Fun fact: the Disneyland Resort's shopping mall actually has two Starbucks locations.

They're not even that far apart.

...We are going through a lot of similar things, Noi. I'm the same. Of course, one is because I try to do things calmly if I am allowed to, and the other is that I have done commissions for friends of mine. I know that when I get to be commissioned by strangers, I won't have that luxury.

While the DLC may have done it, I attribute it to those 4th of July memes.

I've voiced in some weird series.

This one takes the cake. It was pretty fun, though. Everyone working on the series is super nice, and it was a blast to work on.

When a game you voice in is getting an update that adds your voice but they only said it’s coming “this week.”

I can’t stop checking for updates.

Make no mistake, it's a good thing that we've gotten so many series crossing over into Smash Ultimate. I love me some Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon. But at some point, it has to be pointed out that it's a good thing that Smash is so much more than a Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon fighting game.

The Super Mario series has 9 fighters that have the symbol, with Yoshi, Wario, and Donkey Kong also finding their way in the game. Sure, they have their own series. But they're highly tied to the Mario series itself. If you include Diddy and K.Rool, that brings the total "Mario Universe" characters to 14. Out of the entire Smash roster, which is currently at 73 fighters including Banjo (with echoes included, we're almost at 80), roughly 16% of the roster is Mario related.

The Pokemon series has 10 Fighters. As a series, it has roughly 12.5%-13% of the roster. Combined with Mario, that's a whopping 29% of the roster. With Zelda, you have 6 characters, which is only 7.5%-8% of the roster. Combined with Mario and Pokemon, that makes 37% of the roster. In total, these three likely largest groups of characters (you could point out that I combined 4 series into Super Mario despite them not being labeled that way, but I fail to see how that truly dismisses what I'm saying. They appeal to similar fans considering they mostly appear in the same games) amount to almost 40% of the playable roster. Fire Emblem has the most characters outside of these three series, with 7 characters, making it placing 3rd behind Pokemon and Mario.

With stage totals: Mario has 17/105 (when not including Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario. If you do, it's an additional 9 from all three series) , Pokemon has 7/105, Zelda has 9/105. Combined, it totals to 33 stages among 3 series which would be 31.4% of the total, so only a few stages off from 1/3. The series with the next most stages is Kirby, with 6 stages.

I could go on. Smash Wii U/3DS is probably going to go down as the weakest entry in terms of scope and vision. However, it's simply instrumental in the creation of Ultimate. If you don't do Wii U/3DS, and the Wii U doesn't crap the bed, I think Ultimate turns out much differently.

Basically, if you ask me, we should want more new series added. Considering the big three take up a 3rd of the game roughly in characters and stages, I don't think it's exactly farfetched to say they've got more than enough content.

What I find incredibly interesting is that folks don't make a big deal out of 1st party series being "equal", but do with 3rd parties. Though, I'm sure it has more to do with feeling one's favorite series got the short end of the stick. I would think Sakurai picks things based on what's different and cool and not, "Well, can't add that cool stage idea if the series aren't even!" or "Welp, can't add this character because then it's uneven.

I'm basically rambling at this point.

Bro. I don't know what else to say other than I just want to Hunt Mavericks/Delete Viruses with another cool Blue Robot Man.

But if I'm a bit more serious, I think people don't "need" the characters in the roster to be completely evened out. Just that it has to offer a wide variety. That's why some people don't want more FE or Pokemon or Mario characters. I think that's why I like Smash 4's roster so much, since it has Mega Man, Little Mac, Pac-Man and Ryu. The only thing that kind of sucked was the lack of Ridley and he's here now as one of my favorites. Generally, I'd mostly want ARMS or Golden Sun to get a character next, since I can see some interesting play-styles from Spring-Man/Ribbon Girl and Issac.

Same with MVC, when people want the X-Men back, they don't need it to have 17 X-Men characters like Marvel 2. But the staples plus some newer faces aren't too much to ask for.

There's a Starbucks in every single casino in my city (and some of them are even connected by bridge due to same owners) AND topped off with three buildings I know of within three blocks of each other

So apparently Shrek 2 still has jokes that haven't aged...

Ey, if you got a PS4 I'mma shill Strider 2014 on you. It's pretty cheap(15 bucks at the most) and a really fun game with a couple of challenge modes.

Or Mega Man 11, which also a cheaper game. A lot of fun, and again has extra modes. Though there's a couple of really challenging sections.

I’d love to but I’ve only got a Switch lol

Now that I draw for money I can afford more games, but I still can’t afford more than one console. Rip.

I guess there's still Mega Man 11. But Strider 2014 is super underrated.

It's surprisingly good. Green and yellow colored circles, like cheerios. They match the speed mode and healing mode respectively. They're vanilla flavored as well so they're comforting and tasty.
