Hey man, you’re weren’t trying to be condescending to anyone. You shouldn’t beat yourself up over this. I get excited about stuff too, I love explaining crap to people. You just gotta realize how it may look to the other party, and be a tad more mindful.
That's the thing, I'm usually pretty mindful of what I say. But no matter what you do someone is going to make an assumption about you, especially online where tone is hard to read or convey. But I have some intense social anxiety and sometimes one bad interaction can make me want to hole up and never interact with people again.

I'm not beating myself up so much as I just wanna go into hiding over really trivial things sometimes.

...And now I feel like I'm just coming off as being dramatic. I should probably be talking to a therapist about this, not people on Smashboards.

we're actually currently at 712 characters if you count every individual color as one character (assuming the last two dlc characters have 8 alts)

checkmate atheists
...**** i actually forgot Yoshi when making my estimate, since each Yoshi color actually IS a different character

Fine.

If you wanna believe there’s still more coming, even when everyone else official is saying there’s not. Go ahead. If you wanna stick your head in the sand and ignore reason, by all means.

But I better not catch you screeching in the thread and bothering everyone about how smash bros ending ruined your life when we tried to tell you.
“Snake, you’re not allowed to have opinions or express emotions because they annoy everyone else here!” I said earlier today I’m on meds that would prevent another breakdown because of something dumb like smash ending. But whatever. I’m a goblin who hates fun and wants everything to be my own way and can’t stand anything different. Sure.

No one said that.

We're saying don't act like the world is ending when the curtain closes on a video game's DLC.



And while I applaud you for having a handle on your condition, like, right now says you may very well have somewhat of a breakdown if it were to happen, considering how defensive you're getting over this topic.

3D Sonic needs a win dude. It doesn’t even have to be this groundbreaking, awe inspiring experience like BOTW or Mario Odyssey. Just be good.
They were on a roll from 2008-2011, but then they were like... hmm... fans liked this a little too much, let's reinvent the wheel for do reason...

And then they proceeded to delete the entire engine somehow.

Tbh I've never been accused of mansplaining until today and while it was bound to happen eventually I'm still a little shook. I'm really self cautious of certain masculine stereotypes. I never want to come of as perpetuating "toxic masculinity".

I just get excited about biology, that's all. :/
I’m sorry about that. I’ve been really short all day ever since my sister snapped at me and I did not react appropriately. I shouldn’t have said that because you are right that it is more complicated then a 12 minute educational video for high schoolers can adequately cover.

Too late Sneaky's here.
****, see you guys next week.

They purposely tried making Lost World weird to appeal to Wii U fans, which managed to somehow **** up the series again even though LW isn’t really that bad.

I don't really blame you. It was a little comment most people aside from me would've forgotten about within an hour.

I've just got my own life stresses that I'm dealing with right now.

It’s just hard not to get jealous. Everything always seems to go everyone else’s way and it rarely ever goes mine. And it’s not exactly motivating to feel like the only way for things to start going your way is to change who you are. It doesn’t feel fair. And I don’t care if life isn’t fair, it seems to be pretty fair to everyone else (in the context of video games exclusively, I have had a lot go my way in real life and a lot not, enough that I feel no disheartenment in that area... except in the area of weight loss)

I mean, if it makes you feel any better, I haven't gotten a DLC I really wanted, aside from Banjo.


But I also just... really don't care about who gets in? It's out of my hands, and at the end of the day, it's a video game. It's meant to be played and have fun.

It isnt a bad game at all, it's just kinda mediocre, i just wish they kept with THAT gameplay style a little while longer, looking back it haad potential if the level design was there.

Metroid fans only recently got their series back from the shadow realm. Pikmin fans are in a constant state of waiting. F-Zero fans haven’t been doing too hot for...20 years. More people know their main character from smash than anything else. And those are just Nintendo examples.

Literally everyone else except for you isn’t getting what they want, there’s a lotta folks waiting for their dream game announcements. And (for the gazillionth time) your favorite genres aren’t disappearing.

Throwing these little pity parties isn’t gonna change a thing. I won’t get into all this since it’s starting to get wrapped up but lemme remind you that you’re an adult and you need to start handling these situations like one sooner or later.

Or completely ignore what I said. That‘a an outcome too.
I mean, what is there to say? You want me to stop talking about my problems because apparently being an adult means you should use be able to magically solve them with no issue no matter how out of your hands they are. Either that or your telling me to stop having emotions so I stop getting upset? Like I just don’t see how anything you said could be anything other then just being mean. I cant just get over “it” whatever this hypothetical “it” is. I have dozens of “it”‘s and I see a therapist weekly because of all of them and we’re barely close to working out any of them. So, what exactly do you want me to do?

I feel ramen incoming

The issue isn’t that you have issues. The problem is you were acting rude and abrasive when all we’re trying to do is help you not to get your hopes up and freak out when they’re dashed. I know you said you’ve taken measures to ensure that won’t happen but, you have a history dude. Wade was trying to tell you to just chill out, because stubbornly refusing to believe that updates to a Nintendo switch game are ending is not the wave.

No one’s saying don’t feel upset, we’re saying chill out when you’re upset about Nintendo games.
