Still alive guys. Just health reasons, Trails of Cold Steel IV and other things have not made me as active.

Another doctor's appointment in the morning and the penultimate one probably, seeing about the headaches that not even painkillers can get rid of as well as what has been happening around the eyes. And also has Cold Steel IV been really good, No More Heroes as well. Both have been worth the wait.

Still a long road but I guess it's life trying to make things "fun" for me, considering that most of this year has been a bit boring to say the least.

Well, I beat the post game final boss in Dragon Quest IV so that's five DQ games under my belt now (Erdrick trilogy, IV, and XI S). Great game, really enjoyed it...although a few of the final fights really had me grinding out some levels for my team to even stand a chance.

I'm going to take a small break from the series and then tackle DQV.

how dare I type so many words on a damned phone
I'm sorry but if you're in anyway involved in the nuking of a city and deaths of 11 million you deserve no redemption and only thing deserved is being put on the electric chair especially when its comparable to what Hitler committed and did it just for ***** and giggles. There is also the fact she has a daughter which she doesn't deserve and should be taken away from her by child services or her and Harley's sister cutting off ties with and disown her which they should but nope its family no matter how awful the atrocity committed you still love them. This was the biggest act of terrorism and she gets the free pass while Batman thinks Superman beyond any redemption which speaking of which. Let me list the things that egotistical narcissist hypocrite did.

  • Attempts to stop the transfer of Arkham inmates to a more secure prison mere weeks after one of its most frequent escapees detonated a ******* nuke in Metropolis.
  • Is revealed to have snuck a secret virus into Cyborg's body a week after they first met and never removed it after he'd proven himself to be a loyal hero.
  • Alienates the other Leaguers and builds up a secret cabal instead of trying to sway the League away from starting a regime.
  • Only reveals his identity to his comrades after Huntress urges him to, while he'd already set up files on them and their backgrounds.
  • Escalates the conflict with the League by kidnapping and detaining Hawkgirl while having the Martian Manhunter pose as her and spy on them. He also doesn't inform any of his team aside from Catwoman or MM that Hawkgirl was being held captive.
  • Sends out his comrades (the majority of whom are street-level characters) on a sucide mission against an alien invasion without support from the League's heavy hitters.
  • Declares Clark beyond redemption after he saved countless people because apparently the lives of Parademons (who have about as much moral fibre as the Orcs from LOTR) should be considered as important as human life.
  • Distracts the League (together with the President) by having US warships invade Korean waters which could have started a war on the peninsula.
  • Creates this distraction to steal Super-pills without concern for the possibility that criminals could get their hands on it (like the main universe's Joker did in the actual game).
  • Collaborates with the predominantly alien Green Lantern Corps to take control of Earth from the League. Because it's not like the Guardians have a history of bad decisions or anything.
  • Takes multiple League members hostage and allows the Flash to be strapped down and subjected to electro-shock torture for months.
  • Allows John Constantine to hijack the entire conflict to settle a score with Trigon, nearly making the conflict a thousand times worse by dragging interdimensional demons into the mix.
  • Joins forces with the Greek Gods to depose the Regime only for them to demand total worship from the people of Earth.

I'll say this again. Had Batman just realized not everyone is mentally as strong as him, and didn't kept shaming and antagonizing him for killing his husbando Joker and instead got Clark the help and therapy he needed being the friend there for him then he wouldnt have gone down the dark path he did. This is all Batman's doing, he's the reason this all happened to begin with. So tell me whose the actual villain now?

Also regarding Black Canary. She and Green Arrow chose to join Batman trying to inflatuate Superman's home. Had they stayed out of this Green Arrow never would have died.

So now do you see why I choose to ignore the comics? It's full of bad writing comparable to One More Day and all the characters are major hypocrites especially Batman as well as trying to make you like and feel for a terrorist (Harley Quinn), the fact she gets off scotfree without any form of punishment pisses me off.
People like Vegeta have slain way too many people and still managed to gain redemption instead of death (and he actually was the main responsibility for most of his kills, since there's probably some Frieza wanted without his knowledge), so Harley, the one who didn't start the terrorism, having one and an unexpected daughter ended up becoming deserved. Now if she didn't have any sort of guilt towards it and didn't fully realize her **** ups then yeah she should've died, but in the comic world you could kill way too many people and still be forgiven. As for the World's Finest, Batman wasn't wrong about Superman being helpless...once he decided to casually murder as many people as possible, but I do agree on him getting El actual help after killing Joker. Personally both men are in the wrong, and that's probably meant to be done on purpose. Like having to choose between Rhea or Edelgard, and Cap/Tony (the ones in the right) or Tony/Carol (the winner who backfired their own lives). It's actually weird to see how the younger heroes and the ones who were trapped for the most part ended up being the sane ones in the entire MKDC world. Makes you wonder how Injustice 3 will handle both endings for IJ2.

And don't get me wrong, I completely understand your pov on Injustice, but I can also see a weirder pop in how it can be seen. With it being in an alternate universe, it allows NetherRealm to get away with whatever they want to fit into their games.

and then the OMD ****...it ends...this year...guaranteed...even if it means Aunt May has to die. I genuinely think OMD will end up being "good" but only when connected to this current era of Spider-Man and how he's been changing all of his regrets that were unknown until Wade killed him twice. Being the one thing meant to cause a change to the 616, it has to be worth it all

And finally done. Though the feet might need updating. I tried to get the details to be closer to Deviot's normal design. Biggest thing was pixels not being correct in little spots. I'd say it took about 2 hours total(I always take short breaks among work when doing spritework/pixel art).

I've found having a short and taller version worked best overall. Both are good an get the idea across.

Here! I think...
Gonna get back to Majora's Mask 5-cycle run later. Already made a few mistakes that require loading from my save. It's a pretty tough run.

I can always recommend Quest 64. It's a slower turn-based game, so you won't need to worry about pressing buttons at the perfect time, etc. Not unlike Dragon Quest/Warrior in general. Though it being 3D can make it sometimes difficult to strategize where to aim a spell, etc. There's no grid like in strategy rpg's(and it is pretty similar to one in practice, bar having one character).

Of course, there's the various Paper Mario games. All of them have quite a good amount of platforming, and some are more focused on the rpg aspects than others. They do require button press timing though, so if that's any issue(especially after the surgery), they wouldn't work too well.

I like this Christmas-time Tails more. The picture is clearer.

Rest assured, I haven't forgotten about Thanksgiving lol. I look forward to this time with family and friends.

So last week Metalgreymon got a side variant mode(based around previous materials) and now this week Weregarurumon gets a currently unnamed mode change. I'm starting to see a pattern here... are we gonna get a new Omnimon form again? Wouldn't be the first time.

As someone with nearly zero experience in the former, I have to admit, the Yugioh TCG seems more interesting than the Pokemon one.

It's one mess of a game rule wise(with a good 90% of cards having so much text the font is barely readable), but being the card game nerd and all I can say yeah it's pretty interesting. Pretty easy to learn too.. it's the complicated stuff like missing the timing that gets people hard from experience.

Thanks friends.

Gonna switch to Nichijou for my pfp this week considering it was quite a funny anime and watching it back in April and May feels like an eternity ago. Hell I often I actually played and completed Final Fantasy VII Remake this year and it was one of the biggest games for me.

Regardless it has been crazy. Kinda miss the sweet spot in June and July honestly where I was coming off the problems of my siblings and that was the only issue.

Easier times for me.

Was just wondering where you had went lol
I'll never leave here dude as long as my friends are on here. Just won't as active as I wish to be for a while longer.

I find it funny how in Megaman Star force 3 human society collectively realized: "Wait, why did we stop using netnavis? These things are awesome!" And now the star force cast have netnavis

Have you played Pokemon Conquest? It's a great game nobody talks about.
I have actually. It was pretty fun but it gets repetitive when you have to do all the side stories.

I can always recommend Quest 64. It's a slower turn-based game, so you won't need to worry about pressing buttons at the perfect time, etc. Not unlike Dragon Quest/Warrior in general. Though it being 3D can make it sometimes difficult to strategize where to aim a spell, etc. There's no grid like in strategy rpg's(and it is pretty similar to one in practice, bar having one character).

I played the first 3 Paper Marios & am not interested in the new style as much to justify $60 on Origami King. I will check out Quest though.

Of these I've played Xenoblade 1 & 2 (not DE), Tropical Freeze, and Shovel Knight + most Zeldas. I tried the DQ11 demo yesterday and it just didn't grab me. Think I'll try the Bravely Default 2 demo & look into the other things you listed. Thanks for the recs! :cheep:

Oh yeah, I'm aware of that and it does intimidate me a bit, but certainly way more interesting than the Pokemon TCG, where, ironically, the Pokemon are the least important cards. With Pokemon, you really want to build a deck focusing on few Pokemon and lots of trainers, which makes it kinda boring due to it being a franchise all about the monsters. Also the powercreep has become really absurd. They're fun to collect though with their artwork.

Sometimes I like to pop in that old Yugioh GBC game from before the rules were finalized. It's way different, but that's what makes it fun from time to time.

I worked on some art, and I came to a conclusion....

Coloring takes FOREVER. Like it took me over an hour just to color in some stuff.

We actually already got a name for it: Weregarurumon Sagittarius Mode. I was more impressed with it then Metalgreymon's, between DarkKnightmon being more intimidating as a foe and it having more flexibility in what it could do, it had a good showcase.

And yeah we're probably getting another Omnimon, they've given it a lot of love this series so it's likely getting something special.

I chose not to buy PM Origami King too. Bottom line is I disliked the ring battles and that dragged the entire game down. I'm glad I didn't buy it because I watched a lets play and it looks much closer to color splash than PM TTYD. Bug Fables is the future of Paper Mario games for old school fans.

I see you've already changed that Sangloupmon avi pic lol


Was not aware it was given a name. Probably should have looked into it. On further inspection though... the jets Garurumon gets in Sagittarius mode do remind me somewhat of RizeGreymon's thrusters, albeit smaller and detachable. Might be related to WereGarurumon X though, iirc he has some similar thrusters on his back too. Honestly I'm starting to think X-evolution is the thing Devimon hinted at earlier on, considering these form changes appear to be taking stuff from previous X-evolution forms and adding it to the regular variant.

And again whose fault is that? Batman's. He chose to continue shaming him for killing his husbando and antagonizing Supes rather than being the friend there for him. Letting his narcissistic ego get the better of him again if he were just his friend, got him the help, consoling, comfort, and therapy he needed, Supes wouldn't have fallen down the dark path he did or gone as far.

Thus Batman still being the true villain of Injustice if we go by the comics.
Now if she didn't have any sort of guilt towards it and didn't fully realize her **** ups then yeah she should've died, but in the comic world you could kill way too many people and still be forgiven.
Doesn't matter if you feel guilt or not. Committing such an atrocity or any association with such, you should still be punished. That's how the law should work especially when it revolves around an act that makes 9/11 seem like child's play in comparison.

I could tell you right now if this were the real world, guilt or not, Joker and Harley both would have been on the electric chair, heck Joker would have been executed long ago given the mountains of bodies he's left.

Also, the difference with Vegeta is that he's from a setting with a confirmed afterlife where those killed can be wished back to life with the use of the dragon balls. This makes it easier to forgive characters and to redeem themselves. Yes, DC and Marvel have that but it's far harder and more of a task to do.
Daggett from The Angry Beavers.
Yep, you got it, my all-time favorite character. :grin:

You win the cookies.
I still wish Mario and Peach got married in Odyssey

...and that Rosalina was in it
...and that Daisy had her own hack n' slash anime type game
As Miyamoto mentions, they're all simply actors.

It would explain why they're rather good pals with Bowser when it comes to sports and kart racing.

Are you planning to play it via emulator or an actual N64? It's worth noting for your control options. As well as because it does have long dungeons, so it can freeze up on you in the worst spots. I own 8/10 of the games in the series(many of them are ports/remakes...), but I've found emulation to be more reliable. The only one I've found easy enough to play on console is the two Gameboy RPG games(English and Japanese).

Anyway, the big thing to note is the controls;
Control Stick: Movement
L: Camera adjustments(it can pan in battle, or in the overworld, make it further or closer to Brian)
B: "Back"
A/Z: Confirm
C-Up: Fire
C-Left: Earth
C-Down: Water
C-Right: Wind
D-Pad: Unused
Start: Open Menu
L/R/Z also sees partial usage in the menu. You can adjust your sound effects or music too, if certain sounds might bother you. Midis as well, so the music may cause issues for some people. Other than that, typical "explore every nook and cranny, and backtracking to get 100% is required".

I'd say more about like when some spells are learned, or who gives out items, etc, but I feel it's more fun to figure stuff out yourself. :)
