Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

Fire Mario is already in the game

Haha I get it.

 

[Radical Bones]

Hey random question, do you guys ever think it's too late to learn to do something? Like I really want to learn how to draw, but I'm almost 26 and really suck haha.

Want to draw in like a manga kinda style I guess, pretty basic stuff.

 

[Opossum]

You know who I'd love for a Super Mario Maker costume? Doc Louis.


Because you can never go wrong with Doc Louis.

No. If you put in the effort, you can learn to do pretty much anything.

Within reason, no I don't think it's ever too late.

Like yeah, if you're 60 years old, it's probably too late to start training for the Olympics. :V

But in situations like you describe, it's never too late. I only heavily got into digital art myself recently, one of which is manga/anime style. I think I've made decent progress.

You just gotta keep doing your research and practice a lot.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

This is hilarious:

Probably better then vaniluxe.

I know who made this. RIP NicoCW's Tumblr

@Zoroarking You think Roy will become good when he gets the Sword of Seals? He gets it at the very end of the game. You knew that, right?

 

[Deleted member]

Tomorrow Eddsworlds' first part of the finale premiers.

Guys........anyone?

 

[Burruni]

So.
I was bored while going out to buy a gift and did something creative to bide my time.
Example fire starter line names for the 6 remaining zodiac species.
Ox: Calflame -> Hox -> Bullfire
Sheep: Flambe, Sheat, Flaries
Snake: Charcoil, Hissinder, Viburn
Rabbit: Burny, Hottontail, Flarabbit
Horse: Charfoal, Celciequine, Roastallion
Tiger: Empurr, Furrenheit, Swelterfang.

Quality of these names vary I know.

Would you recommend starting drawing on paper or do you think I can go straight to digital art?

Do you draw on a tablet?

Maybe I'll just play heaps of Art Academy haha

>That first Rosalina kill

This game is jank as hell.

REMOVE LUMA

Never too late...You want to learn to draw just go for it, you won't get better if you don't draw at all...

Word of advice though learn the basics first...it's a lot easier drawing in a particular style if you have a solid understanding of your fundamentals...

 

[ChikoLad]

I recommend starting on paper as I think most people would agree when I say it feels most natural. You've got the friction of the physical page to help you along.

I currently do not draw with tablet. I have one, but I just have never been able to get used to it (then again it's been a while, and I have better software now). I just draw with the mouse right now.

>That first Rosalina kill

REMOVE LUMA

That's par for the course with Rosalina.

Skrubs still haven't learned to deal yet? :^)

I'll have to get my research hat on I think. I read a tonne of manga but never try draw it. The only things I ever draw are weird comic kinda creatures with no detail at all.

Thanks! I'll get practicing and hopefully one day I can draw somethinf to be proud of.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I also played 3D World for the first time...Last time I had this much fun was NSMB DS. Really enjoy it!

Do you guys think Barret from Final Fantasy VII is racist?

So...

Do you guys think Barret from Final Fantasy VII is racist?

Here's all I know about him
He's black
He swears
He has a gun for a hand
He's a loving father
He cares for his teammates
So, nope

If you want a good place to start for drawing manga, I recommend focusing on drawing good human anatomy first. And then facial expressions and eye styles and the like.

I also played 3D World for the first time...Last time I had this much fun was NSMB DS. Really enjoy it!

I really wish this game had a level maker, official or unofficial.

IMO it's the best 3D Mario game in terms of mechanics. Having 3D Mario abilities AND the 2D Mario power-up system, and 5 playable characters, leaves so much potential for level design.

I speed run the game and want make levels where my speed run techniques are mandatory ways of getting past obstacles.

So...

Do you guys think Barret from Final Fantasy VII is racist?

That came out of nowhere.

Did someone, somewhere on the internet, make that complaint? :V

 

[Radical Bones]

Double Cherries are the best Mario power up.

So fun.

Answer me this:


Do you think Mr.T is racist because that's what Barret is based off of?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Also, because my friend already beat the game once, I tried out Rosalina. She's pretty damn fun too! My friend says he'd love to see her playable in Galaxy 3

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Answer me this:


Do you think Mr.T is racist because that's what Barret is based off of?

No. But apparently being based off of Mr. T is racist as it makes the assumption that all blacks are like that.

That came out of nowhere.

Apparently there was a whole controversy around it.

I just mentioned that so far, Barret was my favorite character and someone laughed that he was racist.

I had to defend why I liked him.

The reason why he's considered racist. Because he's black. That's literally it. Just like how Danganronpa is considered transphobic because of a crossdresser, or literally any female character who looks attractive is considered sexist

 

[ChikoLad]

Also, because my friend already beat the game once, I tried out Rosalina. She's pretty damn fun too! My friend says he'd love to see her playable in Galaxy 3

She's even better if you speed run. She feels like she was really designed for masters of the game. She's the main focus of my speed runs, since I don't feel the typical "use Peach +Cat Suit + Tanooki Suit to fly over levels" is fun beyond the first few goes, since it makes every level play the same.

As for being playable in Galaxy 3, I think I'd rather they make her an unlockable after beating Mario's game, and make it so that she has a completely different playstyle and new levels. Like a whole other game in it's own right.

Or just make her have her own franchise that maybe derives it's gameplay from Galaxy, and then let Mario continue doing other things, since there is a lot of divide on going back to the Galaxy formula.

@Zoroarking You think Roy will become good when he gets the Sword of Seals? He gets it at the very end of the game. You knew that, right?

Yes, I do
But what chapter exactly?

So...

Uhm, context please
Why do people even think he's racist?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Unless you're going for all the Gaiden chapters, it's literally the last chapter he gets it

"defending" a character usually shouldn't be a thing. :/


If Barret is "racist" so are a LOT of characters.

 

[Burruni]

About as racist as Tifa's sexist for having a large bust (but no body shaming!)
Or Cid being sexist/racist for being a foul-mouthed and verbally abusive white male with blonde hair who smokes.
Or Red XIII being racist against lionkin.

Don't let Tumblrology your judgement.

 

[Z25]

Double Cherries are the best Mario power up.

So fun.

they really are. I still want the blue koopa shell power up to return though. I loved that in New Super Mario Bros. Especially the multiplayer. You could endlessly slide cross the maps to win.

Also, because my friend already beat the game once, I tried out Rosalina. She's pretty damn fun too! My friend says he'd love to see her playable in Galaxy 3

I wouldn't mind this. Or have the story play out with her as a partner. Some levels must be played out as her, while others as marios.

Maybe bowser kidnaps all the lumas and Rosalina sets out to save them. Meanwhile Mario aims to save peach.

And let's throw Captain Toad out there as a playable character cause I like him to.

 

[Coricus]

The reason why he's considered racist. Because he's black. That's literally it. Just like how Danganronpa is considered transphobic because of a crossdresser, or literally any female character who looks attractive is considered sexist

That. . .in and of itself sounds incredibly racist.

Simultaneously wanting more minority representation and calling every single example of that minority that we already have racist is unimaginably confusing.

It also seems to be what Anita Sarkeesian is doing, but I finally stopped subjecting myself to watching videos of people criticizing her for now.

 

[BandanaWaddleDee]

I honestly don't get the love for 3D World. I played it and I found it pretty boring by myself. Then I played with other people and it was just downright frustrating. The game basically feels like New Super Mario Bros 3D. I think it's the worst 3D Mario game.

Looks pretty nice though.

Don't forget about how Niles is homphobic too!

Unless you're going for all the Gaiden chapters, it's literally the last chapter he gets it

Wow, I thought his late promotion was like Eliwood
Damn, that is REALLY late
If he didn't have to seize the throne in EVERY SINGLE MAP EVER, I'd probably leave him at the starting point. That and because Lillina needs his supports
*leaves Roy in the spawnpoint*
*reinforcements appear on enemy turn*
Also, can we talk about how reinforcements in this game are complete bull****?

FE6 is bull**** incarnate. I recommend Arena Abusing everything for the sake of not being tortured. Just like how Thracia was hard because of the situations it put you in, FE6 is hard by giving you underpowered units. Lillina also needs his supports like you said, because otherwise, she won't be hitting anything easily

Basically.
Megaman X section of a "cross-mash" game.
Current stages available: Storm Eagle, Overdrive Ostrich, and Toxic Seahorse.

I was meaning the kind of ideology found most common there. It's... inflated if this is the claim to be made. Yes, Barrett's early actions and demeanor can be seen as Racist because he's very aggressive and "thug-like." Anyone who's played through the game has seen the lot that he has and that he's far deeper of a character.

Zebei, have you ever, EVER eaten duck? It's truly amazing, the taste is like nothing else. I need to go to that all you can eat restaurant again someday, I miss the duck, lamb and white chocolate fountain

Duck is like sweet chicken.

 

[ChikoLad]

I'd rather not have Rosalina's plot be tied to Bowser even in a Galaxy 3, honestly.

I think Rosalina should get her own villain.

I want to see her take on a character that can legitimately be a huge threat to the universe innately (kinda like Dimentio in Super Paper Mario) and have her actually use more of her powers as a result, rather than have her arbitrarily slack off from her job to let a much smaller threat gain more power than he should ever have been able to, only to just let a random plumber do the job, because we arbitrarily needed the main mascot to be the main hero...but then still have her step in, both in the beginning and the ending, to save the day anyway.

Seriously, as much as I love Galaxy, Rosalina's entire existence in both games means Bowser's plot should have been impossible, especially in the first game.

They even go out of their way to tell you that Bowser didn't raid the Observatory and steal the stars, he drew them out with some kind of magnet-like tech/magic.

This implies that he knew his usual, direct raid tactics wouldn't work against Rosalina. He couldn't raid the place, and take the stars, and take Rosalina hostage. He knows she's too powerful for him. So he took a more indirect and safe method instead.

And the minute Rosalina saw Bowser do this, she should have just teleported over there and been like:

Spoiler

"IF YA NEED SOMETHING..."

"...IT'S BETTER TO ASK POLITELY!"

Buuuut we couldn't have that, because that would leave us with no Mario game. :I

So yeah, I don't want to arbitrarily have Bowser "one-up" her again.

We've seen she's clearly beyond powerful when the writing DOES arbitrarily permit her to use her powers, and you have made a bio very recently stating how she's basically undefeatable and capable of protecting the cosmos on her own.

So please, make a game, or heck, even an animated short or comic or something, showing her doing just that, Nintendo. I'm not asking for much. Just fix the one huge, glaring writing flaw you have created with this character. It's been the bane of my existence as a Rosalina fan.
