After being here for almost 10 days, I just wanted to say that I'm grateful of you people. I'll put you all over past old guard and the second coming of communities as such. The lot of you are lovely and growing on me in interests and amusement. I never thought that I would keep coming back here.
Glad you're enjoying the boards.

RPG Maker could almost be know as "Puzzle Maker", due to how many games were made on it without any RPG system on them, so I probably will get use to it with time.

Also, you nailed that "AHA" part. Honestly i'm expecting the solution to be much more complicated than what it actually is lol.

I say the only thing that make me worried a bit due to me playing this game blind, is the fact that I might some important stuff due to advancing the story. Like i'm at The Glen and I throwed almost all of my items in the water. Don't spoil me here, but i'm gonna hope it was normal.
To the best of my memory, there isn't anything really missable outside of an achievement in the Glen. I don't think any narrative-wise can be missed, so I think you're good from what I can remember.

There is a point in the story that you might need some outside assistance with (I can't go into it, it's mega spoilers), but just lemme know when you've finished the game for the first time, and I'll walk you through it.

Just to clear, I throwed the items before going to the Glen.

So far, I advanced enough to reach the special dream bed in the Glen. 'cuz so far, i'm trying to play the game in session, which end when I reach one of those. They're like save points you could say.

Also, I totally will let you know when I finished the game. Gotta keep the customer satisfied! Hehehehe.


Thanks for talking with me about this game btw, make the experience much more fun!

Miss the Mario Kart talk but thought I'd throw this out.

Personally I wish Mario Kart Tour's idea of visiting actual Mario-ised real life places should have been MK9's special concept. Taking away the anti-gravity and maybe adding something. Just feels like a very missed opportunity.

I'll throw the idea quickly out there. Have like 8 cups of different cities around the world (including historical) by 4 tracks each plus then 2 for Retro, 1 for crossovers and 1 for stuff like Rainbow Road and Bowser's Castle.

For example:

Paris
Venice
Amsterdam
Barcelona
Istanbul
Dubai
Cairo/Valley of the Kings
Babylon or Sumeria inspired course.
Seoul
Beijing
Singapore
Angkor Wat, Cambodia
Tokyo
Mt Fuji region
Osaka and Kyoto - Imagine like DK mountain but both ways. With Nintendo HQ cameo,
Sapporo
Washington DC
San Francisco
Miami
Seattle
London
Toronto
Sydney
New Delhi
Rio de Janeiro
Buenos Aires
Machu Picchu
Mexico City
Antarctica track
Easter Island
Giant's Causeway
Ha Long Bay, Vietnam

United States and Japan get their own cups for obvious reasons and commonwealth was cause I wanted to put Sydney and Toronto in somehow.

New Donk City - Why no New York
Pinna Park - Best place in Mario Sunshine
Bowser's Castle
Rainbow Road

The other 3 could figure out for themselves, though for my idea the tracks would need to be a bit longer. Feels like recent Mario Kart tracks are shorter than the older games but that's probably me......

What do you guys think of my place selections?

The new Nagatoro episode gave me diabetes from how sweet and wholesome it was. I wish people would stop judging it based off the first couple of episodes and notice that there's some really nice character progression here.
OK man you have convinced me just as I have convinced you to watch another seasonal.

I'll watch it when the season is over.

The states cup should have a New York level where the traffic is awful, you’re constantly being stopped by weirdos with signs, and everyone’s rude.

Good pizza tho

Hey, yo, Noipoi Noipoi and Professor Pumpkaboo Professor Pumpkaboo and any other Miitopia peeps:

There's absolutely no way I'll be able to make every single background character myself in this game, so if you guys got Miis you'd like to share, feel free! I plan on using a small handful of cool ones from others to fill in some gaps. :053:

Grown ass men shoving each other over pieces of paper. Most likely don't even care about the cards, just scalping for scalper's sake.

Way to go Paul. 🤮

The main duo are just too damn cute together.

Definitely giving this episode a rewatch later.

Nice selection.

I'd love to see how Nintendo would adapt a lot of those places while still having them fit in visually with the Mario universe.

Glad you recommended it, too. I'm really enjoying Tokyo Revengers even if I wish the method of time traveling was actually explained. Feels like they're just hand waving off how it actually works and expecting me to just go along with it.

Oh, and the Nagatoro manga is well worth a look too. I'm honestly enjoying it more than the anime but the show is a damn good adaptation so far.

Overall, pretty good selection of cities and countries.

Aside from adding more cups, I'd just change the Middle East Cup: Since you already have Dubai, I'd change Istanbul but Cappadocia. And instead of an ancient course, I'd keep the Iran setting and have it take place in Shiraz, where you can see Persepolis.

I don’t have that many original Miis. I mostly took funny ones from online :191:

If you still want though, you can have a look at my collection.

Reminds of the time I was going to get an SNES Mini when it came out and you could tell everyone else around me was a scalper. Moment the store open this guy ****ing bolted right in there and ran all the up to the store counter like he just got shot. Shouted in the guys face if they had it.

I got mine.............but then I sold it a month later to get a Switch for 2/3 the price I got it for so at least it was a "noble" cause.

I hate scalpers. Near the top of people I hate the most.

Glad you recommended it, too. I'm really enjoying Tokyo Revengers even if I wish the method of time traveling was actually explained. Feels like they're just hand waving off how it actually works and expecting me to just go along with it.

I don't know why but Tokyo Revengers has been the most forgettable of anime I've watched this season but I think it's to do with timeslot it airs. Still a toss-up between Zombieland Saga and To Your Eternity and both I'd recommend as well.

Overall, pretty good selection of cities and countries.

Aside from adding more cups, I'd just change the Middle East Cup: Since you already have Dubai, I'd change Istanbul but Cappadocia. And instead of an ancient course, I'd keep the Iran setting and have it take place in Shiraz, where you can see Persepolis.
Thank You for reminding me of Cappadocia.

As for Shiraz I didn't want to add cities from Saudi Arabia, Israel or Iran for political reasons even if historical so I'd avoid places from those three in all honesty.

I am hoping that I will get to watch Shang Chi & the Legend of the Ten Rings in the cinemas and I should hopefully get my second vaccination dose before then.

Bit unsure whether I am willing to watch the others in the cinema as of yet, but will have to wait and see for me.
movie wise I'm ready to risk it for Spider-Man: No Way Home. I ain't gonna be waiting to watch something with Spidey in it, but Shang Chi and Eternals I'm not fully sure about surprisingly...


...but since The Suicide Squad is in August...and has John Cena...and WWE may be coming to Vegas for SummerSlam...Imma be making major risk moves just to get that hype energy feel

Poor little Timmy, all he wanted was the Shiny Charizard card for his birthday, but unfortunately Crusty Roland, the ogre looking manbaby, beat him to the punch by purchasing all 500 card packs at the local target.
Still relevant

Just finished the fourth season of Castlevania. I'm still getting my thoughts together, but one major critique I will say is that while I liked the season as a whole as a whole as a follow-up to Season 3 I couldn't help but feel that some of its ideas wanted a couple more episodes inbetween them.

To get into detail, some of the plotlines from Season 3 feel rather underutilized. Sumi and Taka's storyline for instance with Alucard feels almost completely ignored as Alucard recovers from their ordeal rather quickly and they're barely acknowledged past the first couple episodes. I'll admit that I have no love for them as I felt their plotline was easily the weakest of the ones in that season, but it's weird that for the set-up it gave didn't have as much of a payoff. The other plotlines have similar issues to varying extents, they do acknowledge there was a time skip which is probably meant to justify some of the developments, but I do think that having an episode that was dedicated to how the characters got from the end of Season 3 to the beginning of season 4 would've helped the transition feel smoother. Examples like Simon, Sypha, and St. Germaine to a lesser extent don't suffer as much as they do show what happened in the following weeks, but cases like Hector could've used it since we immediately jump to their Season 4 selves. That said, the conclusions themselves I feel were fine as things like Isaac losing his misanthropy and finding a different path for himself or Carmilla's ambitions getting the best of her were things that existed in the previous season and were built upon here. I would've liked to have seen more of them, but I can't say I was unhappy with how they ended their stories.

I have more to say, but this was the thought that was going around in my head the most so I just wanted to air it out.

Crusty Roland doesn’t care.

He just paid 3,000$ to have a woman say his name on stream. He’s on top of the world right now.
Crusty Roland wishes he could be looked at by a girl.

Little does he know that if he could put as much effort into improving himself and his social skills as he does with rushing into Walmart and fighting off invading Orcs for a Yellow Rat card, he would probably have one by now.

Crusty Roland is a 200 pound guy who would mix protein powder with zero calorie Monster and calls it healthy.

He lives in his mothers basement, dresses up as a Luchadore Wrestler every Saturday and thinks randomly making wolf noises in Dollar General will make that female cashier talk to him for more than 10 seconds.

His dream is to not only marry his life-sized waifu statue but to have her come alive and call him Crusty Bap-sama.

I hate my mind sometimes

Crusty Roland weighs less than I do.

Not by much, but still...

Wademan94 Wademan94 So, I need some help with some voice references for characters in this game, if you’re interested. I need references for these fellas in particular:

Abel - Basically a polite, friendly, somewhat high pitched teenage male voice
Vee - A bubbly, optimistic, high pitched female voice
Lila - A somewhat deep pitched, serious female voice

If ya know any characters’ voices that maybe could fit these descriptions, lemme know! And if anyone else here wants to help as well, be my guest.

I think, from recently registering with Twitter, Twitch, and Instagram....I will use those someday toward culinary purposes more than gaming, chess, and among other things. I hope to own a restaurant in a couple of years.

The one thing I've learnt about the evolution and innovation of one's forwarding, of being a student of cooking is, by the preparation, and the journey of conclusion from precision of favor and doneness. You hold the analogy of cooking as if you're making love to someone, because having a passion toward pleasing someone that is precious to you or something else, plays a critical role in discovering your gift from within.
