What Christmas movies do you guys watch every year? For family I watch Elf and horror Krampus.

Gonna still watch those but decided on watching a lot more Christmas movies this year notably Jingle All the Way, Scrooged and Gremlins. Any other recommendations you may suggest?

I still like to watch all three Grinch movies (even if the live action one isn't very good). The old Rankin Bass stuff is charming but it's starting to become kind of annoying with age. IDK, I kind of want to watch a new christmas movie this year. Kind of tired of watching the same old ones year after year.

I love Indian soaps. Used to follow one for a while just because every single thing that happened was SUPER dramatic. Every camera shot, every word, every bit of music was framed like it was the most exciting thing you'll ever see. So much fun haha

Only fantasy I've every liked is Lord of the Rings. Every other fantasy thing has just not clicked with me.

Telling that my favorite Final Fantasy is Seven with it's whole steam/cyberpunk aesthetic.

I wish pure sci-fi stories were explored more in gaming. And not like Cyberpunk 2077 or Fallout where it's all dystopian and cynical.

You mean the opposite of evil?

I kid, I kid.

That helps yeah, but I like the setting more than any other FF, I like the characters more, I think the world is more iconic, and any "magic" has a scientific explanation in the Lifestream and Mako. It's just... sooooo good.

I love sci-fi but usually in literature. And by literature, I mean The Left Hand of Darkness.

Most of my favorite video games are fantasy, though. Space opera setting doesn't really appeal to me.

Honestly, I'm the opposite, Sci-Fi sucks to me, while Fantasy has some of the most varied and memorable stories I've ever seen/read

Did you not read my post?

“If you are still buying Sword and Shield, I RECOMMEND that you buy a used copy.”

Key word, Recommend. Not “I’m telling you to do this”. I’m not saying “you’re a bad person if you buy new!”, it was nothing more than a suggestion to those who are still excited for the game, but are wary of giving Gamefreak their money.

Sorry, but I really do not appreciate words being put in my mouth.

Day 3 of the World of Light Nuzlocke is in the books! Below are updates:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OzvGNIbhSUCi6X8tGw0hnSR7PUo_z11ZDtGTSggxfWY/edit?usp=sharing



Alive/Rescued: Mario, Yoshi, Peach, Bowser, Captain Falcon, Joker, Hero, Banjo & Kazooie, Terry, Pikachu, Wii Fit Trainer, Dr. Mario, Fox, Simon, Pit

Dead/Defeated
  • 1st Out: Sheik (Shinobu battle)
  • 2nd Out: Jigglypuff (Fi battle)
  • 3rd Out: Inkling (Infinite battle)
  • 4th Out: Piranha Plant (Deep Breathing battle)
  • 5th Out: Villager (Marin battle)
  • 6th Out: Kirby (Rayman battle)
  • 7th Out: Lucario (Culdra battle)
  • 8th Out: Marth (Affinity battle)

Special events: I lost Kirby, which stings because I’ve begun to learn the character well and I was on a role with him. But that Rayman spirit ruined the roll completely. And I was going on a comeback too, but then the Rayman spirit-controlled Sonic grabbed a beam sword… and it was all over. The opponent was at 20% damage too, adding to the frustration. So close, but not enough. I’m seriously mourning the loss of Kirby right now; he was such a fun character to us. I needed to find an alternate path in order to get to the Light Temple so I could rescue my sanity. Thankfully, I was able to go through the mountain paths without too much trouble and was able to reach the light temple. The rescued characters still alive were Mario, Yoshi, Lucario, Peach, Bowser, Marth, Captain Falcon, Pikachu, Wii Fit Trainer, Dr. Mario, and Fox, with the DLC characters tagging along for the ride. I must say, I LOVE the theme of the Light Temple. It’s very majestic yet… has this feeling of somberness to it. It fits the mood well for trying to save as many characters as possible and free the world from Galeem and Darkon. Immediately, with the first spirit battle I remember why I despise Zelda so much, but thankfully Marth’s tipper came to the rescue. Unfortunately, Lucario and Marth fell during the Light Temple journey, being defeated right after saving Simon. Thankfully, with Bowser joining the party to fight the greater evil, he came in clutch for me and proved to be a more than worthy ally. Banjo & Kazooie proved to be worthy allies as well, as they helped me get out of a pickle more than once, especially in the Tharja battle. Thanks to the efforts of the team (especially Bowser and B&K), the light barrier was broken and now I can venture out more easily to rescue some more characters. The Light Temple has been put to rest once more.

There's no delete option, sadly. But if you report your posts and say what happened, a mod will delete the extras.

I feel like fantasy can be kind of constraining since there seems to be kind of a strict formula for what goes in fantasy (ex. certain types of recurring races.) But, at the same time, some things in sci-fi are also kind of overly formulaic (such as the whole thing about spaceships and space combat, ect. Plus the fact that (friendly?) alien races seem to be dominated by humanoids.)

When I make up my own characters and worlds, I like an in-between that lets me do whatever I want within some limit of reason (one of these being that I have to consider the societal effects of any particular strange part of worldbuilding.) A lot of the characters also just wear “modern” outfits since that’s my preference in outfit design over either historical-ish outfits or sci-fi outfits.
