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

[Frostwraith]

Been clearing Classic on 9.0 in Smash 3DS with more characters. I'm actually attempting to clear it as all characters.

Here's my progress so far:

 

[ShinyRegice]

Yeah, another Pokkén hint making Terrakion eligible and I'm ready to get someone else once again. At least the one Pokémon I absolutely don't want is not eligible this time around

Personal top 5 among eligible candidates (based more on how much I like the Pokémon rather than their moveset potential or anything) would be: Terrakion > Swampert > Galvantula > Gyarados > Scolipede

50 staff members attempted to predict the Pokemon and their reactions were polled after knowing the result. Here are the results of that:

>– My prediction is correct! I’m really happy! – 1
>– My prediction missed, but I’m still glad – 13
>– My prediction missed, I’m salty – 31
>– I’m actually perplexed, so I can’t answer – 5

I'm wondering whether those people were salty just because they didn't get who they wanted or rather because they actually don't like the newly revealed Pokémon. Looks like it may increase the chances of Pokémon who are semi-popular at best - maybe the developers saw Jynx's kisses as potential for an hilarious moveset?

(While we're at it, I've reopened the Pokkén RTC game for a special week to rate more eligible candidates before the proper reveal if you're interested)

I sense a BIG surprise coming that day. :V

Possibly a bright, sunny day too.

EDIT:

There is a storm coming to that Facebook page now.

 

[Burruni]

Don't like him?

He's... just too visually disgusting to feel at place in the series. We can have "out there," fighters, of course. I'm someone who loves the fact we have things like Blanka, E. Honda, and in Tekken Kuma, Mokkujin, and the boxing trex baby.

Rufus... just makes me gag a bit.

Top 5 Wants for SFV?
Sakura
E. Honda
Blanka
Sagat
Akuma

Top 5 Wants (of the list) For Pokken?
Galvantula
Reuniclus
Heracross
Hitmontop
Jirachi

 

[Substitution]

I myself don't really mind Rufus existing. Maybe it's just me, but I like it when people creators try to do something different from "muscular serious man" or "hot anime woman" repeated over and over. I mean there's more than one body type out there, why not use them?

 

[Pazzo.]

Glad to see Aggron is possible for Pokken!

I can see it taking a pseudo-grappler/tank archetype... And hopefully the Mega Evolution is included, 'cause he'll need all the help he can get against those fighting types.

This has nothing to do with anything currently being discussed or even your post but:

This is gold even if it's unintentional.

 

[Burruni]

Well.
Gonna just cover this now before I forget.

Double Feature!
Day 8: & - We're finishing the Smash 64 series!

Spoiler

Both are dead in the water. F-Zero is a series in purgatory and Mother is an actual dead series.

F-Zero also... just has a massive issue with "moveset potential" given that Captain Falcon's was entirely made up from scrap assets and their biggest hope has ridden on getting entirely retooled and Black Shadow keeping his old kit... which is beyond reason at this point.

Mother... yes, people have argued things like Ninten, Jeff, Kumatora, Gigue, and Porky to varying effectiveness... but the size of Mother as a series and the fact that we are at its natural conclusion means that at most I'd start praying for more assist trophies more than anything else.

...Boy that was quick.

That is pretty funny.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Since @Swampasaur has asked for advice here in the past and this IS a social, I'd like to ask some advice too. And no, this isn't related to asking someone you like out. In fact it deals with the opposite: putting up with someone you're stuck with that you hate.

If anyone here works and has had to deal with crappy coworkers I need advice. I'm stuck with this utterly irresponsible and annoying coworker, I swear he drives me up a wall so much that I go out of my way to try to avoid him and when I have to go back into the office with him, my work performance suffers. He's supposed to be doing his work, paying attention to the streams to make sure nothing is going wrong but instead he's either doing his homework (I work at a university), playing Counter Strike on his MacBook or looking at God knows what on his phone. And the laughter...Lord, the LAUGHTER...he laughs so much and so often and I would literally rather listen to Tidus from FFX laughing for 10 hours.

Worse of all, another coworker before has been fired (or he got another job, I dunno) but he watched Family Guy on his MacBook a lot when he should have done his responsibilities. But at least that guy never laughed. And this annoying guy tries to act like a model worker when higher ups are around but when they leave he's back to being a pest. It goes without saying what would happen to him if a higher up caught him breaking the rules like he always does...thing is he has to this day never been caught and I don't want my work performance to suffer and to have a bad record on my references if I'm not fired before then, instead of him.

I'm just really pissed and sorry for the venting but I'm not touching the Unhappy Thread with a ten foot pole. What advice do any of you have? I don't want to sound like a tattle tale.

Edit: also it seems all the tolerable coworkers have quit and I have to probably be stuck with him for the rest of my contract rip

Well I knew it would happen sooner or later. They already showed they were Genwunners, after all.

Looks like I have another YouTube channel to boycott.

Confront him about it. At least about the slacking and loudness. You should probably phrase it more politely than how you are here, though. I'm not saying your frustration isn't justified but showing too much frustration to him won't make things go over as smoothly - your co-worker's problem is that he seems unprofessional and you want to remain as an example of proper professionalism while also making your point to him. You don't have to make a big deal about it, just sort of casually mention "hey could you maybe quieten things down a bit?" and if he's slacking, maybe even try to give him something to do directly if you have that sort of opportunity. It might motivate him.

If he fails to show change or flat out refuses to or takes an attitude with you, report him for unprofessional conduct and for slacking off, to your employer, and try to have some evidence to back it up.

I think the main issue is that have you TALKED to him about it. I rarely dealt with bad or annoying coworkers (moreso customers but that's another story) but I still believe talking things out works. But the more important thing is to focus on if anyone else is annoyed by his actions and if you can hold an intervention or a small meeting with coworkers to fix this issue.


Going at this alone makes it feel like you're on a witch hunt to some people, so talk to your othe coworkers about this and if they have a problem then discuss with them a way to fix these issues with him and then talk to him about this. Then if he doesn't change then go to the higher ups and then tell them about the problem you are having with this particular coworker.


Just make sure you go act this correctly and respectfully.

Well if hydreigon comes to that game then that makes it an insta buy for me
And does anyone of you guys knows where i should buy videogames at Orlando?

I have told him on several occasions to not laugh so loudly and so much and to watch the streams. I've even spoken to other coworkers that work in the same room but not necessarily the same isolated office about it. I suppose I will try one LAST time.

Also before you do that, talk to your Orher coworkers to see if they are being annoyed by his antics.

If not then just talk to him about how you feel and how it's disturbing you from your work

Notes for SMBZ Re:1
A) Animations in general are a lot smoother
B) WARIO DID EVERYTHING TO WIN THAT TOURNAMENT. MARIO HAD ILLEGAL ASSISTANCE FROM OUTSIDE THE RING!
C) I don't know if it's a bad sign that I've wanted Mario to lose every fight so far (at least a phase of each fight)
D) Rawk Hawk as Hercule is too perfect

Digital Homicide are at it again making ****ty (huehue) games and putting them on Steam. I have to wonder who the hell even buys their games.

See.
There's just crude.
And then there's like actual creativeness around a dirty subject.
The people behind Rogue Legacy's first major game? Don't "Crap" Your Pants.

Edit: For those who don't know DSYP is a parodious take on adventure games that ran off of text commands. Being stuck with a timer from when your body is going to give out to the call of nature. A simple idea, but the sheer level of actually-good humor that they run with it is such a good way to burn like a half hour.

 

[Z25]

I kind of want to try super mystery dungeon

I dunno

I'd have a tough time picking between squirtle and cyndaquil

It's pretty good and you can evolve your starter evolve post game. I'd recommend it, if you like the series it's a great entry!

And I'm calling that it's swampert for pokken but I want tyrantrum as well!

 

[Chrono.]

Just watched SMBZ 1, liked a lot and really looking forward to the next ep.

Rawk Hawk having Hercule's voice was genius also.

[Godzillathewonderdog]

I hope in future episodes of Super Mario Bros. Z the fight scenes become more stoopid ridiculous fast. That's what I loved about the original series.

 

[FalKoopa]

I haven't watched original SMBZ, but this one left me wanting for more.

Everything about it was great.

 

[Deleted member]

What is a SMBZ?

 

[Z25]

What is a SMBZ?

A flash animation series that debuted a few years back but ad to be stopped by the creator. Now he's come back and remade it.

It's a story about how mario, sonic shadow, luigi and more have to save both their worlds. It was hugely popular when it first started and it's reboot started today which had many fans return!

Which I just watched and it was amazing!

 

[Deleted member]

I would watch it, but I'm at skewl. Which is a shame, I'm too kewl for skewl.... Or maybe.... Skewl is too kewl for me. :O

 

[Cutie Gwen]

*Darkrai, Hydriegon, Galvantula, Heracross and mother****ing Aggron are potential pokken characters*
This week is gonna be a long one...

 

[N3ON]

This is gonna be an oddball question, but maybe N3ON knows.

Anyone know if Abysswolf ever plans on finishing his SSB4 sprites? His DA account is pretty dead.

For a while I thought he wouldn't bother, but since he recently finished the new Hyrule Warrior DLC characters, now I'm thinking there's a decent chance.

btw he doesn't update his deviantart too often but he does update his tumblr more regularly.

Ah, I just noticed Cloud in your sig, so I thought he had begun work.

 

[N3ON]

Nah, that's an old one he did a while ago.

You could ask him on his tumblr if you want. No guarantee he'll get back to you or anything tho...
