Oh crap, he is gone!
I hope he’s okay.....
Hey so like has anyone heard from JDCabrera recently? Seems his account is gone again.
He still has his discord account, so if anyone here have him in their friend list, ask him if he's doing well or not.

I'm a bit afraid to ask myself because it's late here & my brain recovering from DMC3, but if no one can reach him, I ask myself.

EDIT: Well guess Lamperouge got me covered lol.

I mean, nothing's stopping you from checking up on him too if you're concerned.

The more people that reach out to him and lend an ear, the better. He told me that he considers himself a "burden to Social" so it probably wouldn't hurt to have a few more people set him straight.

Like I said, wasn't sure if I could do it now since i'm tired, wouldn't want to say something stupid if he feel pretty bad, you know?

That said, think I'm going to let him know that peoples care about him & that he isn't a "burden".

Edit: sended a message on discord, hope he take it well.

EDIT 2: Got a few posts with him, he received them well, soooo I think peoples who aren't sure if they should talk to him should give it a try if they have discord & JDC on their friends list.

NonSpecificGuy NonSpecificGuy Rememeber the whole name change from Gods and Monsters to Immortals Fenyx Rising? It does suck, but apparently it had to do with Monster Energy (the drink) being "concerned" about possible confusion between the names to consumers:


Monster Energy's allegations sound pretty ridiculous to me (Like, do they think their consumers are THAT stupid?), and Ubisoft making the point of " there are many trademarks containing the word Monster, in a variety of categories, both internationally and federally. " makes sense, but, guess they just wanted to prevent any more trouble with that brand so they opted for the name change. Despite it sucking.

What? Unless the game was called Red Bulls and Monsters I never would have once thought of the energy drink.

I know right? It makes no sense. But now you make me wonder if Ubisoft is going to get sued later if by killing a red bull looking thingy that are in the game, it gives the girl her wings. 🤦‍♀️

My sentiments exactly.

A classic case of companies being stupid by thinking consumers are being stupid

Right, might as well get rid of the Monsters' Inc stuff. It has Monster in it and a hundred different things.

I was going to make a meme but eh, I'll someone do it. "Bring me the Monster name!"

I just watched a video about what's left of the Pokemon musical after 20 years.

I wish I could just take those costumes home and fix them up in the same way they fixed that abandoned Sonic statue. Just seeing those remnants of Pokemons golden age just lying in decay is very unnerving

I'm playing FFVII Remake and it's fun. I even like the battle system. My only complaint is about the forced walking sections which are EVERYWHERE. If I want to run around like a jack*** at inappropriate times that should be my choice.
Anyone else playing/played it? No spoilers; I've just gotten to the part in the church.

So is it in relation to the use of the word "Monster" in video games specifically?

RIP Monster Hunter :yeahboi:
That's exactly what I was thinking. I don't know how else to describe their logic other than downright stupid. :joyful:

Unfortunately there are too many stupid consumers out there.
But are there THAT MANY that an entire brand is "concerned" about them confusing a freaking game with a drink? Two totally unrelated things? xD Probably.


This would make more sense if they were talking about the Justice League film called Gods and Monsters. But not... this... unless they’re coming out with a new God energy drink.
....I dunno, but I still cannot believe that's the reason behind an entire name change to a game. A dumb lawsuit.

imagine not spending your entire day decoding HotGirlVid69's latest image leak in hopes of finally grasping the truth behind the next exciting inclusion for what is, undoubtly, the most important thing in the ****ing universe, and choosing to instead...gasp, actually step outside and do things.



That just doesn't sound like a life worth living TBH.
Ngl it’s kinda of intriguing she seemingly leaked Mario Circuit ahead of time with her posts about MK.

The weird part of the Pokemon musical is that the reason we don't have good footage of it is because the only good recordings of the show ended up being owned by Konami. Who have no reason to dump the show online or more likely have destroyed it.

Back in August Nintendo Dream magazine said that the September issue will have a new Switch game that "everyone will enjoy".

Has that issue come out yet?

If anything, it's gonna be that Monster Hunter game that Shinobi leaked, and now a few other Insiders like Zippo are pinning its reveals for the 16th.

He did mention thins were getting rough the last time he was here and that he probably wouldn’t be back until it calmed down, So i guess we will see. Hope all improves for him.

I think it’s out this week, it’s probably the Mario remasters though.
