Aside from any confusion it might cause with the Xbox One X, I think the name "Series X" is just bad in general. I mean, it doesn't sound like a new console, it sounds like a premium edition of a previous console. It's a similar situation to the Wii U, and I guess we'll just have to see how they handle the advertising for it.

So, I need some advice on something...

I've been trying to start writing my very own stories, but have gotten into some problems with the process. Mainly with difficulty on how to write what happens in the story that I'm on, how to make dialogue that's perfectly in-character, and get past the oncoming mood of procrastination because of how boring and mind-boggling it gets for me.

How can I manage through all this, and should I just consider taking a more simplistic take with my fanfiction in terms of tone, humor, and how it's written?

A simpler approach to your fanfiction would make it easier to write, and make it harder for you to get bored. If you want to be more complicated but feel yourself falling out of storywriting, keep reminding yourself of your end product.

For dialogue, I'd say you can be a little loose on what the characters say, as long as you don't get too off-character. Imagine yourself in the character's shoes, and think of what they'd say to respond to situations.

Remember that game I voice in that came out on Steam? The one I mentioned a while back? @Taylor F is introducing the game to my younger cousins. This is incredibly wholesome to watch.

The fact that your brothers on the same website is hilarious to me.

You could be **** posting about him and he’d be in the same room, unaware of your shenaniganery.

Nice new rule in the Geno thread. Talk about Geno and only geno or leave thread lol

That's great.

It always bugged me how the Geno thread was basically just another social thread and got away with so much off topic posting, so hopefully those guys will branch out a bit on this site if they want to discuss something other than the character.

Ok so imagine you are trying to make your dog understand to not be picky and eat all his food and just give him his normal food with nothing extra added

Now imagine your dad went and added some chicken he cooked to the food to make him want to eat, messing up everything your trying to teach the dog

Yeah, honestly it should be a proper rule in every character support thread.
Focus on the character, not needless padding because "omg we have to beat the Ridley Smash 4 thread"

You aren’t being critical on Geno fans and the Geno thread, are you?

I mean, you’re completely not wrong. I just want to check on this situation. I don’t think you are, but I am not sure about it.

So, after fans begging for a version of FNAF VR that is not for VR, Scott and Steel Wool have delivered, and it comes out next week.

NGL, I love Steel Wool. They’re so passionate about what they do. Glad they’re listening to the fans. I’d normally be against a move like that, but seeing how many fans wanted it, it seems fitting, honestly.

Best part is that it’s part of the original, so if you have it for VR, you can plat in flat mode, and vice versa.

Character support threads should focus solely on discussion pertaining to said character, so I'm glad that rules are finally being put in place to heavily discourage off topic posting in the future.

I support Geno for Smash and think most of the people in his support thread are swell folk, but this was a long time coming.

Probably not a popular opinion, but I think SwSh postgame is alright.

Final battle with Hop is fun. His Zacian nearly swept me because lol Zacian is nuts.

I didn’t think it was bad, per se. the stuff with Hop finding his purpose is cool, and the two dudes are so stupid they’re amusing. You kinda just go from point a to b to c, and you don’t do that much.

I fought his Zamazenta and had no trouble because my Zacian is nuts :p

I did say you were not wrong, did you catch that?

And to be honest, I was annoyed with the more being social thing there myself.

I feel like Nuzlockes will need to cut off before Hop's Zacian because of how crazy it is, lol. It was able to nearly one shot my Zamazenta with Close Combat, and he out speeds even a Cinderace lol. :laugh:

It's definitely not as good as oldschool Pokemon post games or even ORAS', but hey, it's a better postgame than X&Y (at least, in my opinion). :p
