Guys we need some life stories in here.

Something funny to tell the world.

 

[ZephyrZ]

While I don't think companies should always go willy-nilly with unnecessary changes, I think some people can be too sensitive about the idea of censorship.

Yes video games are art, but art can always be adapted, edited or improved. I guess I can see why some people would be less comfortable with people aside from the original artist making an adjustment, but things like video games usually have teams of several people working on it already anyway.

So, the leafs on old statues were a good thing? Censorship is a tough topic. Who gets to make that call? For extremes look to china and how it censors. Like i said. There is a slope somewhere.

I just like to look at censorship as a case-by-case basis. That's better then getting charged when the topic up and thinking of it as a solely a "good" or "bad" thing.

Of course government enforced censorship like you've mentioned with China is something I'm far more wary about compared to companies censoring their own products.

Uhhh, well done to those who want it. Might get AC but I'll pass on this.

Still waiting on a general one, especially regarding the Xenoblade remake.

I suck at playing Hanzo and I'm about to develop the most powerful rage throw ever.

That's my life atm. I'll update you all when my controller goes through the window.

 

[DerpingPikachu]

I still don't know when/ if i'm gonna get the new animal crossing, so i'm not sure if i'm gonna wake up early to watch. I wonder what they'll announce though.

Inb4 Tom Nook Smash reveal

 

[ZephyrZ]

Attention everyone!

I have a very important announcement to make. This post is my 6,969th post on all of Smashboards! So to celebrate this momentous occasion, I one thing to say:

Nice.


Also go watch The Dragon Prince on Netflix, it's almost like Avatar: The Last Airbender and Fire Emblem had a baby with elves and a couple pokemon in it.

INB4 all of the "Is there going to be a smash reveal?!" comments.

I'm telling y'all, Dotty's absence from the spirit list ain't no coincidence

 

[Lollipopped]

Uhhhhhh..
Looks like we actually got a direct announcement today.
On one hand, I'm EXTREMELY hyped about an AC Direct...But on the other hand...

if we get a direct this week I'm gonna record myself doing the floss

Why did I ****ing do myself like this

Now that would be a lovely topic to discuss.
Government censorship and why they do it.
Not here of course.

Iirc, didn't that one insider that claimed that Crash was FP6 said that a Direct would be on, or announced on a Wednesday? Or is my mind kerfuddled?

This isn’t what we meant Nintendo.

I won’t be tuning in. No point in it. At this point they don’t have any reason to do a general direct. They’ve got everything covered. So no new announcements till E3.

I feel hopeless. Only tangentially about games. Mostly just life in general.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

>new direct announced

>only for one game

Today's a Tuesday, unless you're in Australia or somewhere very far away from the U.S

That reminds me of an odd dream I had last night. Crash was announced as the next fighter, Dixie was there too but she didn't get to be her own character they just slapped her into diddy's moveset in an update.

Snake, it's just a presentation. I don't think feeling hopeless about this is very healthy.

Besides, who said that there can only be one Direct per month? For all we know they could announce a general direct the day after!

Remember my lengthy ass post the other day after you felt like this?

Read it. It's just a gaming direct. And think of ways to better yourself.

Understand you have stuff going on but sometimes you gotta not act like a shovelful of ****e and uh clean it or something.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I won't be watching the Animal Crossing Direct as I have no plans to pick up the game.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

honestly, we're probably gonna get a general direct within the next few weeks anyways (likely sometime in early march to be specific), so I don't quite see why the doom and gloom's all that necessary

My Brilliant ****post image from a few pages ago is dead.

Worst day of my days.


Joke aside, hope the AC fans are happy, and that we get a general direct soon after this one.

do not bring that negativity in here, nobody asked for that.

I think you might have a bit of an unhealthy relationship with video games if you honestly feel this strongly about this

 

[SnakeFighter64]

No matter how much I say it’s not about the games everyone refuses to believe me. Games are the easiest target. Games are the easiest outlet. But they’re not the reason I’m depressed and fixing them probably wouldn’t fix me.

Let me use this analogy, my brain is like standing in a severe rainstorm with no umbrella, and the poor gaming events are like the bird that poops on me when I say “at least it can’t get any worse”.

I don't think there's any debating that at this point honestly.

There has been a lot of times where Snake just breaks down mentally even if she doesn't give a damn about what's she's breaking down over(like when Byleth was revealed)

Nothing against her as a person, but I think she needs to seek more help then she's already getting if its gotten to this point.

 

[Wademan94]

What do you expect of me? See TWO therapists? Go on SEVEN different medications?

Maybe stop projecting all your bitter attitude onto us? Because frankly, i'm very tired of it and i'm sure i'm not the only one.
