Currently replaying OoT, and I'm having too much fun fighting against some ReDeads in the Royal Family's Tomb. Trying to sneak attack them, I mean.

Plus the screams. Smash Run?

Spoiler

The dead Dampé scared me more, especially considering I never met him like this before now.

 

[staindgrey]

We've been playing Smash these past few days. He actually asked me if you still use FB/Discord, and might have tried messaging you.

He just messaged me. We're chatting now about his future gaming PC.

He almost bought my old one like two years ago but couldn't promise when he'd be able to pay me and I'm cheap.

 

[Hat N' Clogs]

Sorry to hear. I was apparently somewhat in the same position yesterday too. Coming back from my trip after having an all-nighter at the airport. My body felt like total ****, had this sick feeling in my stomach too from having stayed up all night and eating too much.

Hope you feel better soon.

It's basically a mix of these things, I think:

Spoiler

1. Job searching being unsuccessful so far (major one)
2. Loneliness (major one)
3. Getting upset at myself for not improving in smash bros, based on match history
4. Watching depressing shows lately that are completely void of any comedy (part of the reason why I dislike Ozark)
5. No job at the moment means I'm less active, so I'm much more likely to feel "trapped" at home
6. Being upset at myself for getting upset over small things (and large things as well)
7. This feeling of anxiety and anxiousness just getting the better of me, causing me to be agitated and getting upset at people easily, which makes me dislike myself more
8. How I should feel better about myself but I don't right now. It seems like I'm having a relapse concerning depression and low self-esteem

Basically a snow ball effect

I can relate all too well...

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Im sure all adults can relate, especially to the job part
People with jobs: "Just keep tryiiinngg"

It's sound advice.

Although, there's another option.
If all else fails, apply at Wal-Mart.
Just be prepared to make money at the expense of your sanity and maybe soul.

Ah I get it now.

As said I hope things turn out for the better for you. Remember everyone's been in this position in some way in their life but despite the odds they including yourself eventually comes out on top.

That's what Rocky Balboa had taught me and why I look up to him as an idol of mine.

That's all we can do. Its honestly the most sound advice you're going to get.

As I told Hat. Take note of what I said about how everyone's been Rocky Balboa in their life. You will eventually get through despite the odds.

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Okay this is just hilarious.

Oh man, I really don't think this game is going to come out any time soon if they don't even have an art director.

Well atleast they're giving us updates instead of just leaving the project to die like some other 4th in the series games.

 

[Gyrom8]

Okay this is just hilarious.

Well for Metroid fans' sakes I hope they reveal that much rumoured MP Trilogy cos damn, it's gonna be yeaaaars before we get 4

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Okay this is just hilarious.

I Guess all I can say is oof

 

[ColietheGoalie]

Okay this is just hilarious.

A new Prime and a new Pikmin are about the only Nintendo games I would blind-buy at this point. #TheCurse

 

[Cosmic77]

Okay this is just hilarious.

...

Well, on the bright side, by the time this thing finally releases, the next Smash game might be close to starting development. Fifth Metroid character FTW?

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

Okay this is just hilarious.

Metroid Prime 4 has come to take the mantle that Final Fantasy VII Remake used to claim

 

[PsySmasher]

Okay this is just hilarious.

This game is never gonna come out, is it...

 

[Gentlepanda]

Okay this is just hilarious.

catch you in five years

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

I'm at least glad that they didn't ship a game that didn't meet up to their standards. Still I do wonder what is going on in Retro studios.

 

[PeridotGX]

Okay this is just hilarious.

At least MP4 will be a fantastic launch title for the Switch 3!

 

[Kotor]

We're more likely to get Kingdom Hearts 4 before Metroid Prime 4.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Hey at least Metroid Prime 4 is more likely then Half-Life 3 ever will be.

Right? Right?

 

[ColietheGoalie]

I'm at least glad that they didn't ship a game that didn't meet up to their standards.

I'm almost not. Part of me would rather have a bit of fun with a mediocre Metroid game right now than have a great one come out when I'm a middle-aged father of three, you know?

 

[Deleted member]

opening the thread every hour to see if sword/shield arguments are done yet like

When Sword and Shield really symbolizes the fans who attack the game versus the fans who are defending it. Gamefreak is a ****ing genius.

I do my best to remember that. Keep fighting and stay determined, I guess.

It can be very hard sometimes, though. I'm stressed about a lotta things.

 

[Iridium]

Prime time for such an announcement, but I'll be ready in 2112.

Just know though don't feel alone in this world because you aren't. There's people around the world including Rie and myself having struggles in their life as well. I believe in you. That's all I can give you so continue to stay strong my friend.

Hope it gets better for you. I'm currently job hunting as well and its the worst thing ever.

 

[Deleted member]

I got done finishing A Hat in Time. Nyakuza Metro was easily one of the coolest parts of the game, and the music did not disappoint.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Thw best thing about DQB2 is monsters dont **** up your buildings anymore

 

[Michael the Spikester]

I'm honestly debating with myself whether to see Child's Play or not. Maybe not this week but perhaps next especially given it seems like its in my friends rally of movies he likes. I know he also wants to see Crawl as well which has my interest but only thing stopping me is needing to find out if the doggie lives.

 

[EricTheGamerman]

The worst part about Metroid Prime 4 being in such a state of uncertain development is that any time I watch a reaction video or discussion video pertaining to Directs/E3 in the next couple of years, people are always going to just complain about the lack of Metroid Prime 4, probably without even realizing the development hell the game has clearly been going through. Watching reactions of E3, it really pissed me off to hear some people complaining about the lack of Metroid Prime 4 or going, "METROID???" to announcements they didn't immediately recognize. Like the game legitimately was just restarted a couple months ago and that information should be common knowledge by now. Common sense dictates Metroid Prime 4 ain't happening for a couple more years. We could get a new 2D Metroid, but I know what to expect from some streamers, Youtubers, etc. on that issue.

so idk if this was brought up yet, but tragic news on the Metroid front...

The video game community has it somewhat rough with the deaths that happen outside the games. This hurt to have to hear.

That's really disheartening for the Metroid fans.

My prayers go out to his friends and family.

Seeing all this discussion about Sword and Shield not allowing Pokemon to be transferred to the games if certain Pokemon don't appear in the Galar Pokedex as well as point about how "the first Pokemon games of a console are usually bad" reminded me of Ruby and Sapphire.

Weren't Ruby and Sapphire heavily disliked when they were first released? I remember one of the big drawbacks was that Pokemon were unable to transferred from the GameBoy Color games to the GBA games, and there was a lot of disappointment surrounding that. Seeing the backlash Sword and Shield regarding the Pokemon Home transfer reminded me of that.

I could've sworn there were other reasons why Ruby and Sapphire weren't well-liked either, especially when this was the game where you have the divide between genwunners and regular Pokemon vibes, but I can't seem to recall if there were other big complaints.

 

[Noipoi]

Okay, I know I said I’m taking a break, and I meant it. But I gotta say this real quick.


Allow me to apologize for any pain I may have caused. I realize that I’m very emotionally unbalanced, and as much as I’d like to blame by strange childhood I have to be a man and accept that my actions are solely my own. No excuses.

From the bottom of my heart, i’m sorry.

Okay g’bye.

Pretty sure every pokemon game is hated when it first releases. B/W used to be reviled but now its where the series peaked.

"Water trumpets" was originally a meme used by the anti-Hoenn crowd. Now you see FAN art of Hoenn involving playing trumpets, and IGN giving ORAS a 7.8 for "too much water" was considered absurd.

Pretty sure every pokemon game is hated when it first releases. B/W used to be reviled but now its where the series peaked.

Unfortunately there are still people that go "lOL IcE crEAM aNd GeArS!"

What happened earlier Noipoi? Hope your okay now.

Also don't try to be too hard on yourself. All you can do now is acknowledge what you did try to become a better person bettering yourself just how as I am making amends for my past actions in terms of having been immature and childish. Take it as someone who had been in a similar position but likely on a much bigger scale then you.
