[Cutie Gwen]

Buongiorno to Gwen specifically.

Whoa mamma mia NSG

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Whatever you say boss.

If she truly is improving then I'm proud of her.


I'll admit my tone could've been less harsh, if I said anything hurtful or came off aggressive SnakeFighter64 I apologize.

Edit: dumb chrome

That said it is not your place to fight her battles for her, if you can even call this a battle.

I'm free to my opinion on not just taking "well x is exactly the same as y" when it literally is not

Since I was asleep, I am really glad @Bolderousness rushed to my defense. It was a very nice thing to wake up to.

And secondly, I never said they were exactly the same. I said they were similar. Too similar for me to find any real enjoyment in them compared to most sci-fi which almost always features entirely new worlds, races, technology, and designs every story that are rarely derivative of each other unless they’re doing a homage (or a ripoff, but that’s already a bad thing). But hey, if you like it, then you do you. It’s not my place to try to tell you what to like and what not to. Because most Fantasy is still very well made and clearly has a lot of love put into it. It’s just not for me. (And for the record, I watched Holy Grail the entire way through and thought it was hilarious, and watched 5 of the Harry Potter movies all the way through as well as both Fantastic Beasts movies. As well as a few other fantasy movies like Princess Bride and that one where the girl is literally a star).

It probably has something to do with the fact that I can’t stand history, or old things in general (except dinosaurs). To the frustration of my sister and father who eat that stuff up. My sister once told me, to my face, that I “didn’t have any appreciation for things made without technology”. Which really stung because, well, it’s kind of true.

Thanks for acknowledging the merits of fantasy but I still don't agree with it being more derivative than sci-fi.

I think both of their commercialized and mainstream versions are kinda stuck in replicating what The Lord of the Rings and Star Wars did, respectively. You can also find new worlds, races, magic, and designs if you look past the generic Medieval Europe-ish sword and sorcery stuff (insert shameless Earthsea shill here).

Well, sci-fi doesn't have to be technology-oriented and fantasy isn't always historical (urban fantasy is pretty big on its own) but I see your point. Though, you said you like dinosaurs so you obviously have at least some interest in animals.

 

[Will]

man, i forget smashboards has front page articles. it's kinda weird that they actively want others to write stuff for them outside of tournament results.

Venus of the Desert Bloom has good ones though, that curry articles was fire. i'm not a fan of the smash underdogs opinionated parade, otherwise i'd be typing up fifteen essays over how Scorpion matters

Oh my god, I was a dinosaur freak as a kid! Still kind of am, but to a much lower extent. I knew so much that I was critiquing shows and movies about scientific accuracy when I was 5. And my mom had to explain to me multiple times that sometimes that’s just not what the show was trying to be about because I was being such a killjoy. Not just dinosaurs either, really all prehistoric animals. I still maintain a belief that all of North America’s interesting fauna died out because of overhunting by early people at the end of the ice age. If we had just shown a little restraint then North America would have mammoths and Sabre toothed cats and camels. Florida and California would be terrorized by 10-ft tall killer flightless birds!! We’d have glyptodons and giant tortoises. Actual lions, giant sloths, tapirs, short-faced bears and friggin giant beavers!

My constant companions would be my SwSh team (Cinderace, Boltund, Gossifleur, Hatterene, Alcremie, and Sylveon). I’d have Mewtwo with me for protection. As well as a Pichu, a Jellicent, and a Sprixie. A Gengar would be constantly following behind the party in the shadows, longing for companionship, and would join the main cast in the 10th episode.

No one because of the pandemic. I ain't travelling around the world, not now.

Jokes aside, I'm not sure I could name ten, but I'd put Jigglypuff and Mimikyu in there, certainly.

To be perfectly honest I’m not all too happy with how my SixFanarts challenge is coming along. Thought of something else I could possibly do, though.

Didn’t know you were doing one! Could you tag me when it’s finished?

Sure but it might be until May given I wanna draw something else first.

A friend got Super Mario Party and we played it alongside two other bros for a few hours a few nights ago. Holy **** what a disappointing Mario Party. I thought the rumors were only exaggerating, this **** is total ass.

I wish I still had my copy of Mario Party 6 aka the best mario party... and four working gamecube controllers.

I just want N64 Online with Mario Party 2, please.

can the Next Animal Crossing uodate make Isabelle more usefull in the morning?

or bring back nook?

Super Mario Party is certainly better than any of them that came out on the Wii or Wii U, really the only issue I have with SMP is the number of boards, they should have at least doubled it.

I still don't know why there aren't more characters. Smash Ultimate has over 60 and there are way more animations that go into a Smash character then a Mario Party one.

What do you mean, they've resorted to having to use one-off villains from the 3D Land games, I think the roster is fine if they have to expand that far.

I agree, but I also think games like Mario Party and Mario Kart should expand out into more than just Mario characters. Mario Kart 8 is a good start with Link, Villager, Isabelle, and the Inklings, but Nintendo has a HUGE lineup of characters who would almost all fit in really well in these games.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

So apparently, fanfiction.net doesn't like screenplay/script format and I got a message from mods within Critics United/CU saying that I have to use regular format for future chapters.

AO3 allows script format though, so at least there's an avenue to stick with the original format of the story, but with fanfiction we'll have to change up the format entirely for the rest of the story, which means more edits. This is getting stressful. It doesn't help that CU on fanfiction.net is an organization that is infamous, apparently.

At least AO3 exists?

Either way, releasing the story that I wrote with my friend and trying to entertain people and give others a good experience is going to be harder than I thought on FF.net. That's all I want to do: give others a good experience with a seriously interesting, good story. This has become a stressor and now feels like a second job.

There's a reason where a lot of people left fanfiction.net for AO3.

The latter is better at... well, pretty much everything aside from you'll missing out on people who only use the former.

There's a reason where a lot of people left fanfiction.net for AO3.

The latter is better at... well, pretty much everything aside from you'll missing out on people who only use the former.

That's the trade-off, basically.

While Fanfiction.net is more well-known historically and still gets many readers, AO3 isn't biased against screenplay format. And the troubling thing is I'm not even trying to write a trollfic. This story's original script took about 8 or 9 months to complete, and my friend and I put in so much work and effort to entertain people. And besides, Shakespeare did screenplay/script format. It's a viable writing system.

On the upside, I do have an AO3 account, so there's a back-up plan. I just need to learn the "tools of the trade" i.e. how tags work and how to make sure it reaches the "Undertale" part of the site.

This whole thing is depressing me and ruining my day.

Except I don't have one.

It looks pretty good.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Huh, AO3 allows that? I might register. Never was a fan of that idea that "only one format allowed". Like, really/ That's no less a fanfic. The format doesn't matter to begin with.

I think the best thing to do would be to start with Karting, as the switch probably won’t be getting its own mario kart beyond 8 deluxe, and they have just about every character they would need modeled and ready thanks to Smash Ultimate. Then once that proves to be a success, spread out into party and tennis and the like.
