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

[Aetheri]

Ugh, fine. I lose.

It just really, really bothers me to know we're definitely going to have a cow starter. You could say it makes me have a cow just thinking about it.

It also really bothers me that Nintendo is going to go the cheap cop-out route with the next Smash and likely not even making a title for the NX.

You know what? The preemptive future of gaming just makes me upset in general. I can't agree with a single decision that Nintendo hasn't officially said they've made yet but are confirmed to have made.

I don't know about you but the potential for a possible fiery minotaur comes with the eventual cow starter! I wouldn't even care if they give it the fighting type, that'd be sick!!

 

[Coricus]

I think you may need to rest a little then
Take a break from the site or something

Izana is great, too bad he joins you too late and his recruitment method is probably the last thing you'd do in the game

Spoiler

In Revelations, another character takes his place as the only exclusive Revelations character
And his/her name is

Spoiler

Fuga

If I leave too long I'm gonna get even antsier. I get super paranoid about my last few posts whenever I just up and leave.

I think I'll take a step back and focus on Fates for a few hours instead of following threads, though.

*EDIT* Also I looked up your spoiler and funny enough that's NOT the last thing I'd do in the game.

I respect Pit too much to neglect that service.

 

[Erureido]

I don't know if this has been posted already, but I found this amazing Pokemon 20th anniversary gif on my Facebook feed today.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The transitions into the next generation was my favorite touch.

That's a bull. A cow would be the one with utters

If you want the gender neutral term it's "Cattle"

Edit: Actually

• An "intact" (i.e., not castrated) adult male is called a bull. A wild, young, unmarked bull is known as a "micky" in Australia.[15] An unbranded bovine of either sex is called a "maverick" in the USA and Canada.
• An adult female that has had a calf (or two, depending on regional usage) is a cow.
• A young female before she has had a calf of her own[16] and is under three years of age is called a heifer (/ˈhɛfər/ hef-ər).[17] A young female that has had only one calf is occasionally called a first-calf heifer.
• Young cattle of both sexes are called calves until they are weaned, then weaners until they are a year old in some areas; in other areas, particularly with male beef cattle, they may be known as feeder calves or simply feeders. After that, they are referred to as yearlings or stirks[18] if between one and two years of age.[19]
• A castrated male is called a steer in the United States; older steers are often called bullocks in other parts of the world,[20] but in North America this term refers to a young bull. Piker bullocks are micky bulls (uncastrated young male bulls) that were caught, castrated and then later lost.[15] In Australia, the term "Japanese ox" is used for grain-fed steers in the weight range of 500 to 650 kg that are destined for the Japanese meat trade.[21] In North America, draft cattle under four years old are called working steers. Improper or late castration on a bull results in it becoming a coarse steer known as a stag in Australia, Canada and New Zealand.[22] In some countries, an incompletely castrated male is known also as a rig.
• A castrated male (occasionally a female or in some areas a bull) kept for draft purposes is called an ox (plural oxen); "ox" may also be used to refer to some carcass products from any adult cattle, such as ox-hide, ox-blood, oxtail, or ox-liver.[17]
• A springer is a cow or heifer close to calving.[23]
• In all cattle species, a female twin of a bull usually becomes an infertile partial intersex, and is called a freemartin.
• Neat (horned oxen, from which neatsfoot oil is derived), beef (young ox) and beefing (young animal fit for slaughtering) are obsolete terms, although poll, pollard or polled cattle are still terms in use for naturally hornless animals, or in some areas also for those that have been disbudded or dehorned.
• Cattle raised for human consumption are called beef cattle. Within the American beef cattle industry, the older term beef (plural beeves) is still used to refer to an animal of either sex. Some Australian, Canadian, New Zealand and British people use the term beast, especially for single animals when the sex is unknown.[24]
• Cattle bred specifically for milk production are called milking or dairy cattle;[14] a cow kept to provide milk for one family may be called a house cow or milker. A "fresh cow" is a dairy term for a cow or first-calf heifer who has recently given birth, or "freshened."
• The adjective applying to cattle in general is usually bovine. The terms "bull", "cow" and "calf" are also used by extension to denote the sex or age of other large animals, including whales, hippopotamuses, camels, elk andelephants.

Wow, I've never heard of freemartins before.
That's really awesome.

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Since Pokemon is being discussed, I feel this is a good time to show off one of the songs in game. More specifically, Magikarp Festival's theme.

This song is amazing and I can't wait to see what else there is. Definitely looking forward to Pokken Tournament.

I get how you feel, I usually think I worded my posts wrong and it's going to be taken the wrong way but I'll only be able to correct my post later so I kinda get the feeling

As for Fates, I mean

Spoiler

Usually, most players won't even think of upgrading their Bath Houses unless they have nothing else to spend DVPs on
I guess Izana is a fan of them too

That's why I said, it could start as a cow and evolve into a bull. It fits the theme in the base stage as all do, and then as it evolves it would change into a slightly different creature. It wouldn't be that bad of an concept. A cow could still be done well.

 

[Substitution]

Apparently Nintendo forgot to translate Wolf Link's costume information in the English version of Super Mario Maker

wow

Well at least the purists got their point on point translation.

So basically a cow that spews lava instead of milk.

Mooooo-st have

You guys deserve to know that you can have babies with your friends regardless of gender in Fates.

If you get someones card and then give them accessories in their castle constantly, a "bond unit" will appear, and while they're not called you and the other person's child it's pretty clear what they're trying to do.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Just watched gameplay footage of Doctor Kirby from Kirby Planet Robobot.

I want the game even more just for Dr. Kirby (I love me some Dr. Mario and it shows in this game).

 

[_Sheik]

At least Marth is fine
Some of them can't even say that

Spoiler

Fixed that for ya.

Let's play a game guys:

A new Mario Kart game has been announced, and they are allowing non-mario characters as DLC.

Now you have to choose 10 non-mario characters (and you can choose anyone from Smash and even Super Mario Maker, so if you want to choose the Majohng piece or that one anime girl, be my guess) as drivers for this new installment.

They pretty much function like children, due to the fact that they have the last skills of their parents like children do and the secondary classes of their parents. Though it is interesting to note that while they are more likely of getting an existing character's Personal skill, they can have regular skills as Personal Skills, including Quick Salve, Luna, Sol, Rend Heaven, Aptitude, Vantage and even Lethality.

If I could add an eleventh character, then I would have chosen Ness.

EDIT: And Fox would've been a good choice as well.

I don't mind us getting Urufu Rinku.

-----------------------

And what's the problem with a cow starter? We've only had three bovine pokémon till now (Tauros, Miltank and Bouffalant) and there are a lot more of those that we've not yet seen in Pokémon. Like a yak or an African wild buffalo.

Though a fire-type cow pokémon does sound odd. A grass or ice or water type seems more fitting.

Just...
To say.
It's not the year of the cow in the zodiac.
It's te year of the Ox.

 

[Luigi The President]

Also a cow starter would be awesome. Likely would be a Grass starter though because of it's nature associations.

 

[Z25]

A mario kart sequel that can have anyone form Mario Maker?

You know the top choices are:

Majhong Tile. his weight would be so light, and he'd be so fast!

That anime Girl: Simple Anime will take over Nintendo

The Arwing because playing as a vehicle would be a step in a new direction.

Midna and Wolf link: This is just as good as having the ar Wing playable! It be the closet thing to double dash!


and Lastly E Gadd: Why did they cut him from the DS one? They need to fix this!

[Cutie Gwen]

So a colleague tried motivating me to finish something in less than 10 minutes by saying I could 'join the men club'. Aaaaawkwaaaaaard...

 

[Aetheri]

As cool as a cow/bull/ox/cattle fire starter would be...I'd still take a fierce tiger at this point...

 

[Coricus]

OK, yes, I was definitely overly harsh, but I'm just. . .not a bovine person. If we got a bovine starter, I'd most likely end up picking one of the other two.

Also, the zodiac can only end in half of the given bovine starters online being named things like "Steak," "McBurger," and a whole unholy host of other food related gag names. Feel free to decide now whether you're going to jump on that bandwagon or start cringing.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Cows are neat!

Oh, so that's what Bond Units are
That's weird

Fixed that for ya.

Lucina gets Aether and can get Galeforce either through reclassing or through one of her mothers
Unless you mean her character
Which I would still disagree

They pretty much function like children, due to the fact that they have the last skills of their parents like children do and the secondary classes of their parents. Though it is interesting to note that while they are more likely of getting an existing character's Personal skill, they can have regular skills as Personal Skills, including Quick Salve, Luna, Sol, Rend Heaven, Aptitude, Vantage and even Lethality.

Well, that'd allow them to effectively have 6 skill slots
If they had supports, that **** would be broken

Speaking of which, Personal skills are actually a really neat addition
Some more useful than others
They range from stacking auras to certain gimmick ones that can be really useful when combined with others(Critical Odin+Selena) and some are just wasted opportunities like all of the ones that only activate while supporting Corrin
I hope they keep it in future games either way though

I mean we already have 'KFC' and 'Bacon' for starters...so what's wrong with a little 'Steak'?...
Thing is either way you can't expect to like every starter...that's usually why we have three to choose from...I'm pretty open to any animal so long as the concept is executed well...

 

[Z25]

Since I was sick today, I couldn't do much, am wound up creating this in GIMP:

I like how it turned out. I made them as fancy as can be! I think Charziard probably came out best.
Thoughts?

Swamp Sensei Tagged for obvious reasons.

Oh and for anyone curious. I spent two hours on this.

You can get more info here.
http://serenesforest.net/fire-emblem-fates/hoshidan-characters/bond-units/
And yeah, by what I heard, the names vary between which versions you're playing and which ones you connect with. That being said, Sho Minamimoto would be proud of the 3rd Path X 3rd Path names.

Well, that'd allow them to effectively have 6 skill slots

I like the personal skills. Especially the ones that are good all-around, like Ryoma, Xander, Odin, Kaze, etc. I would also like to see them in future games.

That being said, has anyone playing Fates ever get the Child hair glitch? Basically, you get a child unit from another castle, then when you first enter the Paralogue to get the child unit for your story, their hair color is the same as the Einherjar child you got until they actually appear on the battlefield with the hair color of the mom you gave to their father.

So Awakening's success represents the introduction of anime to the general western audience and Fates represents the subsequent downfall of the industry brought on by otakus?
