[TMNTSSB4]

despite No Way Home being an open book currently spoiler wise, I can’t help but put NWH related memes and comments and all that in spoiler tags

 

[Lamperouge]

Yeah.

 

[MooMew64]

Anyways

Probably for the best I continue to take my time with things.

I just hate it when I say “I’m gonna do this!” And then something comes up that messes with it and it turns out I have to scrap it, haha. I think I get too excited about ideas and commit too soon before really looking at the whole picture and analyzing “Can I do this right now, or am I rushing this?”

From now on, I ain’t committing to a project unless I know I can do it, ‘cause when stuff like this happens it really kills my mood.

All a part of learning I suppose.

[Just a penguin]

Welcome to today's weekly Smash Bros MTG crossover, where I am currently smack dab in the middle of Pokemon Trainer. Today's lucky character is Ivysaur, who is currently being portrayed.
Here's the cute little plant creature:

I tried to make his powerful aerial presence and utilization of nature as a weapon shown. I think that this incarnation may be a bit specific, but otherwise works work, but let me know what you think!

Next up is Charizard, who will bring a finale to pokemon trainer's pokemon, hopefully with a bang. See you then!

Things that bother you never bother me. I feel happy and fine aha! Living in the sunlight, loving in the moonlight, having a wonderful time

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Ninten does what Nintendon't.

more like "GF doesnt do"

Because if Nintnedo can do it with AC , so can GF with pokemon

 

[TheMightyP]

So uh... that new user, SolarPCG, just got banned from administration outta nowhere.

Did something happen? Or was it the same person from a week ago?

I thought they were cleared?

 

[TheMightyP]

I thought they were cleared?

They were, but then they got banned by administration last night.

And both Gwen and Ramen thought they were the same person, which means that they probably used a different IP.

Can they stay gone this time?

Weird

If it was them, kinda surprised they haven’t done anything stupid yet.

 

[TheMightyP]

I mean, Ashe was just Freezerburn if he was a ticking time bomb of racism, maybe SolarPCG tried to get buddy buddy with before exploding.

Idk, admins was this the same dude? If so, good riddance.

 

[MooMew64]

Also yeah PLA good y’all.

Like, REAL GOOD

This might be the new peak of the series.

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Waiting on my copy of PLA to arrive next week.

Wasn't in much of a rush to get it since I've still yet to play Brilliant Diamond or Metroid Dread.

 

[Hex D. Jess]

Good Morning My Gamers

Time for more Pokeymanz

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Yeah considering something that just happened in a discord server me and Ramen are in when that account popped up who just so happened to have a similar name and near identical pfp, the only difference being colour, it was absolutely them

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I’m glad everyone is happy Legends: Arceus. I’m just disappointed that everyone is happy with Legends: Arceus.

Why are you disappointed that people are happy?

Pretty much also with Smash Ultimate a week after Sora released in a nutshell.

 

[Wademan94]

Cuz open world = bad

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Honestly I can picture the Guardians splitting up at the end of the third movie.

Peter Quill notably probably returning to earth to settle a normal life (Or he and 2014 Gamora refind their love getting together and settling down somewhere), Rocket & Groot back to being a duo but on a more positive note, Drax probably sacrificing himself, Nebula going her own way.

Unsure what would come to Mantis, maybe she finds a planet she could call and consider home feeling belong and settling there?

Assuming the first option with Peter. Imagine an emotional and heartfelt to see him reuniting with family members notably his grandfather (If he's still alive as we briefly saw in Guardians 2).

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Cuz open world = bad

This mindset always seemed like a paradox cause collactathons are supposedely good when open world games are just larger scale collectathons

 

[Michael the Spikester]

So how y'all enjoying the new Pokemon game so far?

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

Afternoon.

......................I don't know what to talk about.

It's painful. I've story and creative ideas but then I get bored like 15 minutes in.

Wademan94 our crossover stuff has honestly been the last thing I've really dug into and enjoyed. If only that could happen to me on a daily basis.

Me who is so unsure of getting Pokemon Legends cause he is too busy with stuff:

I want to get it cause of you guys..............but I don't know. I might just get it if I can't get a PS5 next month.

 

[TheMightyP]

So I found out the issue with Legends Arceus's graphics.

It's the fact that the render distance is so high, but to maximize perfomance, not everything is rendered completely. Things like shadows and textures aren't fully loaded which makes some things look off from afar. BoTW does the same thing, but they mask it up with heavy fog so you can't see it until you approach the area. However, when you're in the area's FOV, PLA looks pretty good.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

......................I don't know what to talk about.

Ditto here.

Just sitting here waiting for The Batman in March.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Anyways this is relevant to the convo at hand

I'm feeling like this new Pokemon game went a little TOO far back in time if you know what I mean.. pic.twitter.com/RH3myrhpsJ

"Where the water fountains at"

This ***** omg

 

[Michael the Spikester]

How cool it would be to use Killer Croc for one of the sequels.

Actually depicted as this serious threat as a seemingly non-human cannibalistic killer lurking in the sewers killing and eating unsuspecting victims.

That would be a sight to see on the big screen as Batman investigates those grisly murders before confronting and fight Croc. I can imagine the trouble Croc would probably give Batman.

The dark and horror-like tone this film and its planned sequels are going blends so well for the character. It could treat Croc like a combination of a slasher and killer creature put into one.

Yeah that sounds about right but I guess the problem is if they added fog the cover up what you can't see then you wouldn't be able to see the Pokemon in front of you. Like the fog would be covering up an alpha that's level 40 and you can't see it so you just keep running forward until it's too late.
Then bam Hyper Beamed in the face

 

[Hex D. Jess]

So far my team is Dartrix, Monferno, Kleavor, Luxray, Psyduck, and Gastly. Most of these are just temporary mons that I'm gonna ditch when I find replacements

 

[TheMightyP]

That's definitely the reason why.

The game is all about finding mons, but if there's heavy fog to mask it up, how can you see them? Like, imagine flying at a high altitude from Braivary, and you can't see what's below. Defeats the while purpose.

It's a trade off GameFreak had to consider. Graphics and visuals vs performance and practicality.

 

[Dutch Raikuna]

And of course a headache starts just as I'm about to do coursework. Time to put it off for the afternoon. And my writing today is really weird for some reason.

-------------------------------

I've been watching a few reviews of PLA and I'll get it but not yet. It's a step I wanted for the series and it looks great (probably plays too). The idea of sneak or confront still looks a little basic though.

------------------------------

Been also looking at games coming out between now and April. Quite a few I want:

Pokemon Legends
Dying Light 2
Ezio Collection Switch Port
King of Fighters
Horizon Forbidden West
Elden Ring
Gran Turismo
Chocobo GP
Stranger of Paradise
Persona 4 Arena Switch Port
Tiny Tina's Wonderlands
Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

Me a few years ago I probably would have bought most day 1 easily. Now? Only Kirby I'm getting and maybe Horizon.

And it's freaking me out that I'm not more excited for these.
