I'll die on this hill:
SwSh isn't a bottom 3 gen. 1&2 are worse, but if I speak on what other Gen I think is worse that SwSh, then we'd be arguing for a while.

Gen 4. The OG D&P are honest to God bottom 3 Pokemon games in my eyes. granted I haven't played it but tbh I don't want to since BDSP made it obsolete. And I don't wanna play Gen 2 on Gen 4's engine when they haven't fixed all the trash Gen 2 had. Maybe someday though.

In my eyes, Plat carried in other words.

 

[KillerCage]

Anyone else keeping up with The Book of Boba Fett?

Episode 5 is simply a must watch if you liked The Mandalorian.

Already up to date as I'm watching the Book of Boba Fett with my parents.

 

[MooMew64]

The hill I’ll die on is Mystery Dungeon is better than certain gens’ mainline games imo

Explorers of Sky is the best game in the series. Debatably in the five greatest games ever.

I hate waking up in the middle of the night, especially after not sleeping much

Valentines Day is coming up so I better not hear y'all complain about your relationship status.

I was going to complain but then I saw your post

You have successfully stopped me

seriously though i complain to myself a lot on that subject but i never say anything out loud because a. i know it's ****ing annoying, and b. i know the reason i don't have a gf is because i never actually tried to get one if that makes sense?

I'm waiting for the first season to end, I'll probably watch it with my dad after we finish Arcane

Trust me, everyone on this board whines abiut their status but nobody's willing to put in the effort. Twitter does the same **** and it's just as annoying on both platforms.

 

[ZephyrZ]

We talking about our relationship statuses?

Gen 2 hater

That's it, I'm getting the fry cutter.

My guy, I think you may be outnumbered on this one.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Good Night My Gamers

Extra what?

 

[TMNTSSB4]

probably been posted already…but damn…I need Frontiers to have all of their lyrical songs done by Lyn

 

[cashregister9]

People all over the internet are posting Legends Arceus stuff while i'm sitting here waiting for my copy to arrive on the 31st

 

[TMNTSSB4]

sleep

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Eh, I hate having to cycle a lot in the morning.

Irish weather means the ground is usually wet.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Good Morning My Gamers

Today I didn't stay in bed for very long, I'm gonna eat breakfast and then go pick up my copy of Legends Arceus

 

[osby]

Researching mythology is fun because you just pick a random pantheon and try to find which deity is unnecessarily demonized in secondhand sources because Christian classicists decided that they are Lucifer.

 

[Zinith]

I have a bio for the main character for my series, but I'll wait until there's more activity here

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Aaaand I beat Nocturne

A fantastic experience I recommend to those who don't mind oldschool JRPGs without the QoL stuff brought over time.


Now for Pokemon, not even a minute in and Arceus is based, asking appearance instead of gender

Did you go for the True Demon Ending? I have beaten the game only once in the freedom route because I wasn't prepared to fight with Lucifer.

Yup, Was tensed up the entire time, Raidou was a massive life saver too

Corporate needs you to find the differences between these pictures:

 

[Hex D. Jess]

I got Legends Arceus and I'm pleased to report that this is the most fun I've had with a Pokémon game since Sun and Moon

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Broke another cycle record today! Shaved off another 10 minutes.

Now in a Teams call with people from a company who are looking for apprenticeships aka people like me. Thing is that the company guy running it isn't a higher up but some PR/Human Resources guy.

............................Already a bad sign. Nope to them.

I can't say I'm an expert on stuff like this but isn't it pretty standard for human resources staff to deal with potential employees and interns?

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

You fight God at the end, Noipoi

Finally, Pokemon is becoming an actual JRPG now.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I played Legends Arceus for like 2 hours

There was a problem fetching the tweet

I must say, so far it's pretty exciting

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Wait Noipoi have you returned?

I missed you. Your presence was gone and we all begged Arceus for your return!

How you been?

What happened what he was just covering the first 20 minutes for standard introduction. One of the higher ups from them came on and did the rest. I made a good impression though.
One of the four (there were like 15 people) with a camera on, asked them a few questions and showed enthusiasm as my usual creative speech though and I asked something that even got the higher up stumped.

I was like in my head "Checkmate!".

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Morning y'all. How you doing?

 

[TheMightyP]

Spoiler: IDK if the location is a spoiler or not

In honor of the Launch of #PokemonLegendsArceus enjoy my Shiny Fail. I even said the wrong Pokemon Name. :( pic.twitter.com/Pr4wTaeIqD

Ok but fr though, after Peter saved her like 37673892684 bazillion Times why does she still hate him for not going to a play because he was saving the entire world. The only time she was reasonable was when she was angry he hit her in the black suit. Also, he is a college student. I’m sure he has more important thing to do than go to a play to satisfy your ego, even if he wasn’t Spider-Man.

 

[Metal Shop X]

Hey



Half-Life & Doom are pretty neat games

 

[TheMightyP]

Me waiting for everything on my Switch to copy over to my new SD card

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Just can't get enough of the Heisei Gamera Trilogy's soundtrack.

Notably Myth as well as the final fight in the first movie between Gamera and the Super Gyaos.

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Kishin race:

“I’m Kishin Zhong Kui. You seem to be doing quite well. For a child, that is. Gahaha... "

Alignment: Light-Chaos

Origin: Chinese mythology. A god who can command ghosts. As a human, he committed suicide after failing an exam to become an imperial official, only to receive an honorable burial. One day, when the Emperor Xuanzong was sick, he had a dream where a ghost appeared and tormented the emperor. But Zhong Kui, appeared and destroyed it as a thanks to the burial he got, curing the emperor of his illness after he wakes up.

Skills: Berserker God, Rakunda, Rakukaja, Impaler’s Animus

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Wilder race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

Chinese lore has a lot of tales where mortals become immortal deities due to the deeds they did in life, as a way to get divine justice. I really like these kind of apotheosis stories and Zhong Kui is pretty endearing in just how nice he is despite his looks. Like a lot of other East-Asian divine figures, his design leans more on his Japanese portrayals, but still resembles his origins. Funny enough, he rarely learns any healing skills, preferring to protect his allies by killing the enemy as fast as possible.

So, does he have a super high attk stat Or something?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

So came home after a meeting, saw my parcel from Amazon and got really, really excited. Finally A Certain Magical Index!

I opened and then..................................................wrong item.

******** scammed me! Looks like I found some piece of trash perfect for being sacrificed.

 

[TheMightyP]

I'm assuming that half this thread is either in school or playing peak Pokemon which is why it's been so quiet.
