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

[AwesomeAussie27]

Wow, apparently you can't purposely make a bad joke on youtube without someone tell you to "KYS"

Some people don't appreciate bad jokes.

Edit: I told him he could kys my ***. LOL, showed him!

I feel you mate. Those guys can be annoying as ****, but not like the Leafy fanboys that say "fat" in response. And I thought the hissing fad was awful.

Why is polygon so awful?

Why are they sucesssful?

I guess Vox Media just likes to have their employees complain just about everything.

Everything has its fans. Even "awful" stuff.

It's isn't a stretch to imagine that there are a few people who would take Gies's words as gospel and defend him.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I don't understand.

The game is getting good reviews. Mixed but still largely positive.

Why do people keep insisting it's ****?

Nab-solutely amazing.
Welcome your NX gen overlord.

Welcome to Weird-magNabbit!

Seriously, we've got playable appearances in both spin-off and main games, Smash Bros. appearance and now even cameos in other series!

The fact Platium games made it
Miyamoto's involvement


Pick your poison.

Vocal minority, Polygon thinks it's the hot ****, so constantly screaming their opinion will have people look at their article. It's all for traffic. After all, all publicity is good publicity, as they get money because of people who check their site after hearing how scummy they were

Oh man, first Bowie, now this.

Especially when this was less than 24 hours than the hen former wrestler Chyna was confirmed dead as well

Why are they successful?

Just found out about Prince as well. Rest in peace, Prince.

He was always my mom's favorite, so she's heartbroken at the news.

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

Rest in peace, Prince.

If you want tough controls, play Star Fox: Command.

I just started playing it on Wii U Virtual Console.

Spoiler

Admittedly, I'm getting used to it, be the controls did not need to be stylus-based...

Prince died? Oh god, I was thinking about him today too

I just encountered a Glitch in HW:L.

I just fought a Sheik using a Hylian Sword. Specifically, Link's Tier 3 Magicial Sword.

If that's in the Master Quest Map, that's not a glitch.

Every positive has it's negative and vice-versa. If you have people using a positive review to explain why it's good, you will have people using a positive review to explain why it's bad. If you have people using a negative review to explain why it's bad, you will have people using a negative review to explain why it's good.

It's really just humanity trying to prove how wrong we are whenever we think, "Humanity can't be that dumb."

...Well.

That's not a glitch if you're doing the DLC Maps, like the Master Quest, Termina Map or Twilight Map. You will regularly see characters like that, like Zelda using Sheik's Harp or Zant using Ganondorf's Swords.

You know Spider-Man Homecoming? Robert Downey Jr. just signed on for it. Iron Man's gonna be in it! It'll likely have to do with

According to Facebook, that Mighty art is also original.
I really want to know who this artist who can replicate Yuji Uekawa's style perfectly is.

I've actually tried to pull that combo many times.

Never once did I succeed.

In other news, it appears that today is Kimishima's birthday. He's now 66.

Maybe it's not new art, but just that they just finally found him for a new photoshoot.

The final part is kind of hard, you need to do the second Witch Twist really fast.

I think that's what they're setting up for. In the film, Peter grew up idolizing Tony Stark and when Tony recruits him, he gives him the suit seen in the trailer. I think they're eventually gonna build up to Iron Spider, but I'm not sure they'd play that card so soon. It's definitely a possibility though, and at the very least, the way he got the suit is inspired by it.

Is it just the cool thing to hate Nintendo?

Because, ya know, although games can be mature, dark, etc, they're just games. As in entertainment. As in "something to keep you occupied".

Fixed that for you.



While Nintendo is the current punching bag, it isn't like anyone else in any other medium is faring any better.

As it turns out, hating on things has been very popular for a very long time. Nintendo just happens "to be hated" because of their kiddiness.

I hope they do because it looks awesome

Although, TBH, it'd look better with a different color scheme

Yeah, it's been that way since before I started following Nintendo. Why do you think Nintendoomed is a term?

That said, everyone else DOES have a point about literally everything being a punching bag, it's just that as a Nintendo fan I find it much easier to notice the fact that the media seems to be actively hoping that Nintendo is going to die. And it's not just Polygon either, it's just that they're the most blatant. You can pick up the subtle joy in the Nintendoomed reports from plenty of other news outlets.

And then there's the comment sections on most websites, who seem to either also be rooting for Nintendo to die or else are just having really childish reactions to Nintendo not personally catering to them.



And if these people had enough refinement to look past the cover of a game and research what actually happens in them, a lot of Nintendo games can get shockingly dark sometimes. Their own argument is flawed because they don't care about maturity at all, they just care about muscular manly men with big guns meeting lots of attractive women, starring Hyper-Realistic Blood as itself. These people have all the maturity of a pack of thirteen year olds trying to look cool in front of their peers.

Life is not worth living without risks. I've lived most of my life secure in a bubble

To this day whenever I want to try something risky I have my parents immediately contact me and tell me to play it safe

Just ain't worth living forever if your just stuck in a bubble

 

[Opossum]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if the color scheme was altered. After all, they made Vision's slightly different (and definitely for the better, IMO, since I really didn't like his comic color scheme), so it's not impossible.

 

[Schnee117]

This is why Team Cap is better.

It depends. I've seen enough upheaval in my 20 years of existence that I prefer stability over adventure.

If you feel like you've had a good life, that's all that matters.

These Smash Wii U mods are pretty interesting.

Doesn't mean much when modding is only available to a select few.
