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

[Z25]

Of course they work well.

I mean both Clarence and UG have loads of stupidity poured into all their episodes, anyways.

But that's why it works ell for both of them. At least I think so.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I honestly can't get myself to enjoy Rick & Morty.

 

[A Distant Demon]

I don't think I apologized enough for assuming that guy reviewed for pay when I went off on a childish tangent.

Someone IRL noticed the look I had on my face over it. They started asking me why I looked like I was about ready to cry, but I figured telling them would just make my day even worse, so I kept my mouth shut while they kept asking me what was wrong and thinking I was mad at them.

No I wasn't mad at them. I'm mad at myself. Mad for constantly jumping to conclusions and failing at every turn.

Everyone makes mistakes and everyone makes assumptions.

Literally everyone in this board. Everyone on this planet. No one is perfect. The fact that you went back and apologized AND edited makes you better than most people in that regard. Most people would just leave it up and just roll with it like it never happened. AND EVEN THEN. This is something extremely minor. If this was a legitimate issue, yeah I could see being down. But this was a little thing. Don't beat yourself up about it.


I've made huge mistakes in life. Wrong major, wrong classes, and plenty of other stupid ****. If you want to include minor things too you could look at every social interaction I make. Hell, look at my post history. It isn't good, let alone perfect. My private post history is even worse (Sorry Space Pirate Mansion). I've jumped to hundreds of conclusions and failed to make many connections when I should have. "Failing at every turn" is a normal thing to feel, but you can't let it get to you and push past it. I know it's WAY harder to do than to say but one step at a time. Pretend like your post never happened, everyone here forgave you instantly. It's fine. You're fine.

 

[N3ON]

I haven't watched a cartoon series in forever. I tried to watch Adventure Time to see what the big deal was, but it didn't click with me.

I have had numerous people tell me I should watch Rick and Morty tho.

 

[ChikoLad]

I for some reason thought Rick & Morty was just a Cartoon Network show for kids when I first saw it.

Maybe I should watch it someday.

The only adult cartoon I really watch is South Park because it's literally never bad IMO, it's always really good.

I used to like Family Guy but it went bad.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

can't they do anything right

I feel dumb but... I can't see the error.

 

[ChikoLad]

I feel dumb but... I can't see the error.

I thought the same thing.

It probably has to do with the name above the jail cell, if I had to guess.

 

[---]

Are you seriously trying to imply ATHF is bad

Everyone knows Aqua Unit Patrol Squad 1 is better than Aqua Teen Hunger Force, which in and of itself is better than Aqua TV Show Show, and don't even get me started on Aqua Something You Know Whatever, though Aqua Teen Hunger Force Forever was a good sequel.


Robot Chicken had some great seasons, but recently it's really gone down in quality. Rick and Morty is fantastic, and I hate myself for having missed Season 2. I should get around to watching Children's Hospital, from what I've seen it looks pretty good. Mike Tyson Mysteries, the concept alone seems amusing enough to warrant a watch.

 

[Z25]

I feel dumb but... I can't see the error.

I thought that it implied the girl was Mrs. Bellum, adding to the outage that she isn't in the show.

Hence the Mayor Doing fine Bit.

That's just lazy.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

South Park is a good example of an adult show done right. If one can really compare it to Family Guy, the social commentary/satire is handled much better and shock humor actually has the proper timing. Just compare Miss Teacher Bangs A Boy to Peter ***ment. That's how you can see why Trey and Matt stomps any "writing" McFarlane's team does today.

 

[Frizz]

Get out.

im kidding

It's pretty good, if I do say so myself. It's both entertaining and wise at the same time. There's a life lesson in every episode, I'm sure of.

They might as well just get some better animators for PPG 2016.

and maybe some common sense and better writers as well

 

[Wario Bros.]

The Powerpuff Girls is starting to look like the worst attempt at a reboot I've seen for any show (I haven't watched a single second of it but what the people have been posting speaks powerfully)

The upcoming Samurai Jack revival has the original team, right?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Apparently MLP had an episode with an interesting socialist theme

Spoiler

This specific song being based on WW2 propaganda

I've been curious about it, but I really can't get into MLP

Yeah, Genndy Tartakovsky is coming back to work on it. I have high hopes for it based on that alone.

Though, I do worry about who's going to voice Aku...

 

[powerprotoman]

oh and i actually looked into it mrs bellum is in the reboot....in the episode bye bye bellum....spoiler alert the shows still trash

Hopefully better than what they used for Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion.

That's how you can see why Trey and Matt stomps any "writing" McFarlane's team does today.

The main thing South Park just gets right, is that it has a lot of charm. From the art style to the music to the various kinds of voices for the characters, there's so much you can easily remember and distinguish.

It also didn't flanderise it's characters over time like the Simpsons and Family Guy, but actually gave them more depth and complexity as the show went on (Kenny and Randy being the big examples).

The worst episodes of South Park are the earliest ones, and that's not because they're bad at all, it's only because the show didn't really have an identity at the time so they were still figuring things out, and they didn't need to do as much to be seen as funny since it was one of the first shows of it's kind. While other initially successful and beloved shows like Family Guy decided to get dumbed down overtime because they knew they had an audience that would watch anyway, South Park has gotten more and more intelligent and complex in it's writing in that's not just an adult show in that "they talk about sex and drugs and there's violence and stuff", but the show makes you think by addressing real world issues (like the SJW stuff in the latest season, and the power of ads), while also having this nostalgic, Disney-like quality to it at times.

The latest season was really cool in that the entire thing was an ongoing saga, rather than just one-offs.

I'd say it's a little bit of both (but mostly to the latter).

Sorry.

 

[Ura]

. . .Actually, I will admit thinking on it that there is an exception in terms of when fairly low selling characters are allowed.

Bayonetta didn't exactly break any records and was third party no less, but she managed to win the Smash Bros Ballot.

Methinks Bayonetta had a lot of her support coming from Wii U owners. What I mean by this is that Bayonetta was a big title for the Wii U basically at launch and then Bayo 2 came out not too long afterwards so I think a large part of the Wii U install base that played Bayonetta voted her in and those same people were the biggest portion of fans voting.

Gonna be honest, people keep talking about new series to add to Smash, but honestly I think Splatoon and Rhythm Heaven are the only two series Nintendo has left that I think warrant an inclusion.

Not even close

eh, I don't really care.

Besides, I'm just a grumpy Toon Link main. Nothing more.

I'm hoping this works but this is the approximate time for when the Nintendo Earnings Release/News Conference begins. Everytime you refresh it updates


EDIT oh. . .I guess it doesn't. . .
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=201939281&postcount=74
Well just refresh this page then >_>


Regardless, I expect nothing more than a bit of mobile news by the time the meetings end

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

And it looks like we found the true successor to MorbidAltruism.

Nah, that title personally belongs to smashkirby. He is the destroyer of all notification boxes.

For some reason it's saying "Access restricted for this domain" for me.

...You don't need to be so hard on yourself. It's not a big deal.

Everyone makes little mistakes like that. Nothing to get too emotional over or beat yourself up over. Live and learn.

Everyone makes mistakes and everyone makes assumptions.

Yeah. . .Sorry about sulking, that was even more immature.

Thank you both for the pep talk, I sincerely appreciate it.

Logically I should know better than to feel like I did over such minor things, especially since most people have far worse problems and mistakes in their time, but I guess since I haven't had those worse mistakes every once in a while my self esteem just slips a bit on the really small stuff.

Guess that's my cue to go to bed.

That's not what it was, I wasn't scolding you for sulking or anything, nor was I meaning to belittle your problems.

I was just trying to say you shouldn't fret over a small mistake on an internet forum, especially to the point of wanting to cry, it's not worth your energy. Nobody is really going to judge you for such a small mistake like that (well, not decent people anyway, I unfortunately have seen a number of people on the internet who would though :\), so you shouldn't worry about it either.

 

[AreJay25]

3 AM for the investor's meeting, huh? Too bad I'll be slee-

Oh who am I kidding, I'll be up.

 

[Ura]

Probably just going to be some mobile crap. The NX is either going to be revealed in May or at E3.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Yeah. . .Sorry about sulking, that was even more immature.

Nah. Immaturity would be bottling it up and then unleashing on some other innocent bystander. Getting help, whether from friends or professional is about as mature as it can get.

Logically

Oh if only the brain worked "logically"

Unfortunately sometimes our brains just force us to think one way or another and there is nothing we can do about it. Just move past it and everything will be okay sooner or later

especially since most people have far worse problems and mistakes in their time,

Just because other people have bigger problems don't invalidate yours.

every once in a while my self esteem just slips a bit on the really small stuff.

I know that feel quite well.

You know that thing where you are walking towards someone and then to pass each other you both choose the same direction over and over? Little stuff like that makes me feel awkward for way longer than it should.

About a week ago I had trouble grabbing some stuff in front of someone and I still get Vietnam flashbacks

How about I let Bob Marley make my point for me?

That song is ruined for me

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Not going to get too excited for the meeting, it will probably be typical business talk with some mobile reveals. The new console or games would probably be saved for E3 easily.

With that being said, I'm going to binge watch some Kinnikuman before hitting the bunker.

 

[AreJay25]

So Kirby Planet Robobot music is getting uploaded...

It's great.

I mean, what did you expect? It's Kirby.

They "discover the cure" on the same day as my birthday. September 9th

Fixed. I mean, I don't think there's a video game on a Nintendo system that I've had so much as a passing interest in, first party or third, that hasn't been praised ten ways to Sunday for it's music. That said. . .*runs to find music*

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Gotta say, I've barely seen any positive opinions for SFZ.

Funnily enough, the more positives ones have been from reviewers themselves (Sterling, Polygon and GiantBomb aside). The general public seems much more unforgiving, it's also becoming common to say that SFZ represents everything wrong with modern Nintendo (tm).

I haven't gotten the game myself, mostly because I have no way to try it out and I'd need a couple runs to see how the motion controlling works. Instead I went for Dark Souls III (itself also a risk, as I've not played any Souls game before).

Star Fox Zero actually is a good game once you've gotten down the gyro controls. It's not exactly designed for casual players, however.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I'm curious.

How many people are interested in Star Fox Zero?

How many people bought it?
