"Nintendo should be like Sega"
Yeah, be the company that treated the Sonic Booms devs like total ****, and didn't pay the Sonic Mania devs a dime in royalties or sales.
Great point.

In my original posts, I never said Nintendo should be like SEGA, but it felt like that SEGA treated its fans better than Nintendo, because of how many times Nintendo loves to shut down projects.

But, yeah, I was aware Nintendo isn't the only company that treats their fans like garbage.

Not to be THAT guy, but an oblate spheroid is still round.
I originally was going to make my post, "not fully round", but I looked through Google and saw some articles saying it wasn't round, but an oblate spheroid.

But I'll take the L.

I feel I may need to confide in people I know in the LGBTQ+ community when/if I add representation to any of my characters. I can write my characters like normal people (as far as I know) which I prioritize but I’m not entirely sure how to go about writing LGBTQ+ representation naturally without it feeling too forced or too subtle yet.
The character I'm using in a campaign, Gayla, is gay. He's literally just as normal as everybody else. Hell, he's probably the most normal of the entire bunch~ I mean, for a half-warforge, anyway.

At this point I don't even give a **** to be completely honest. If we're ending this year with Nintendo being a sinister organization of mass evil, then I'll take that. Hell of a lot better than all else that's been happening.
Guess this was 2020's final send-off for the year. Nintendo becoming the next evil company after Disney.

I see. Subtle name btw.

I haven’t confirmed everyone’s orientations yet, still a lot of other things I want to focus on writing. Though something I also kinda wanna do is while I do have a few pairings between my team of characters I want to make endgame, i also wanna tease as many potential pairings between the members of my team as possible. (They’re all adults), so I guess for the time being, assume they’re all pansexual.

He's named after the FFVIII monster. Him being decided to be gay is years later. So a pure coincidence.

Nice. It's great to have such diversity. It's something I'm trying to figure out with Animauls. Lots of different nationalities as is. Though sexualities is not really something related to the game's story or characters, but it might be something worth thinking on. Especially as many are just literal animals being changed into intelligent cyborgs, etc.

Nintendo being Nintendo again.

Verde Coeden Scalesworth Verde Coeden Scalesworth actually looked into this more and found it was a false claim: Nintendo doesn't issue takedowns as "Nintendo of Japan", so the claim is most likely a troll trying to put fuel on the fire given recent events.
If that's the case, it still sucks. I do think it could be avoided if they put their own music on Youtube, Hell, I think a lot of companies could benefit from doing their own "Vevo" channels. It'd be good PR I think.

I mean aren't gaming companies profiting off child mines in Africa? Please inform me if I am incorrect.

"Wow Nintendo is ass. That's why we stan other game corp! They listen to the fans!"

The gaming industry would be so much better if gamers actually realized the point they're trying to make.
Exactly. Any major company doesn't give a **** about the average Joe, and we shouldn't care about them. Just buy the stuff you like, and sandbag what you don't. And if they step over your personal moral code, feel free to boycott them at your own discretion. Still, I don't like getting too high and mighty about it, I won't look down on any person who DOESN'T boycott this or that.

I’m not too worried about sexuality aside from the pairings I want to make endgame. But yeah I definitely have a diverse cast going on in terms of most areas.
-African American female as the leader
-A Celestial being as her partner
-Korean/American male
-He’s partnered with a female water spirit
-Stocky white female
-Who’s partnered with an earth spirit that’s basically a rock golem
-The deceased soul of a Dwarf King inhabiting a massive suit of armor
-Half-Elf/Half-Dryad female
-who’s partnered with a wind spirit that’s a tall Revali ass bird
-Potentially Russian female who lost her arms in combat
-Male fire spirit
-And two dark magic spirits taking on human forms

If SB would allow me to share photos again I’d share my sketches of them.

So you guys often talk about TV shows. Any love for Millenium?


I started watching it yesterday and it's such a great show. It's made by Chris Carter, the same guy who made X Files. I have been watching a lot of X Files recently and I decided to watch Millenium as a sort of break from X Files. Boy is this series dark and I fully embrace it. I'm been really enjoying it. It almost feels like I'm entering another dimension when watching this show.

One of my friends showed me a pretty powerful gaming laptop that is also pretty affordable, that is also the size of a PlayStation Vita with built in game control buttons. When I get to replace my old laptop, this is what I am replacing it with.

The older social thread was definitely a lot more rough for me...

This social thread, is really calm and peaceful. It is a relief to be in after experiencing loads of drama on Discord in the past, because Discord servers be like that. I'm still in Discord, but man, some servers can be pretty awful or have awful people in power.

This is really cool. The character is from Power Rangers Dino Charge. Why so cool? He's not a stereotype, or special mannerisms. There was no forced relationships just for the sake of showing off his sexuality either. He's just a regular person. :)
That's pretty neat and I have nothing but respect towards the actor, though I kinda dislike this new trend of "best queer representation is characters who don't 'act like' they are queer."

I'm just one gay guy so I can't talk for anyone else but it feels like a poor way of appealing to a subgroup where they never actually see themselves on-screen and it's only revealed behind doors. Not saying every gay character should always talk about how gay they are but a passing mention to their orientation shouldn't be hard unless they are closeted. Also, like, nobody would say "wow, this character never shows any explicit interest in the other gender, what a great straight character!"

Anyway, rant is over. I'd just like people to appreciate non-"normal acting" queer characters a little more. We are't all assimilated people who never talk about who we are attracted to.

And please remember that actual people work on and love these games.

You can criticize video games and companies that made them without dunking on its fans or developers. I don't think enough people know this.

Indeed. I absolutely love and respect Nintendo/gaming devs. I wouldn't be doing what I do now if it wasn't for them.

It's the execs that I don't like.

Exactly. When I go on a tangent about companies, I'm not dunking on the workers, but the CEOs that are being a jerk to everyone.

Apparently, Alpharad has quite a lot of influence - I came back from work to find out that Fraymakers passed three stretch goals (a second additional character, super attacks, and getting Alpharad and Tomamoto as announcers) in about five hours, after he made a video about it.

They've also added a stretch goal for a Switch port, though presumably, any console ports would either lack the MUGEN-like customization or be extremely limited in that regard. Still, I assume that the base game, with the two or three additional characters, is still going to be solid.
