When I was getting birbs I really wanted a cockatiel tbh but no place near me sold them.

Still feels odd to just wake up every day and just hear my parakeets chirping.

2021 is not going to be any different from 2020. Given the way the world is operating, it is only down hill from here.
But on the positive side, we have seph and 3 more characters to think about.

With the vaccine going around now it’s only a matter of time before we can finally get back to somewhat normal lifes. Although that “matter of time” could very well take the entire year because anti-vaxxers are a thing and without their cooperation(or death I guess, but that’s a bit extreme) we won’t be able to build herd immunity anytime soon, which is the entire point of the vaccine.

I don’t think we’re going back to pre 2020 routines anytime soon, that’s for sure.

I hope. but give the UKovid strain has entered the battle, I am wondering if we are in a flu situation, where the vaccine does not matter and is just a suggestion. But I do hope we get back to "some-what" normal. But personally I hope we get back to "better-then-normal", where we actually give a crap about our environment. Once crazy is gone on Jan 20th. Hopefuly things start to trend in that direction.

Given anti-vax and how people operate, I suspect that the entire 20's is going to be some case of 2020 over and over again.

The Helluva Boss season 1 teaser trailer has come out and now I am stoked and can not wait!

Personally I think the world before the pandemic is somewhat gone. I think things aren't ever going to 100% be the same again. Hoping the rebuilding of the economy will be more eco based.

That being said I'm somewhat optimistic but more April or so 2021 optimistic than January.

Now I must share this:

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I know it's the last day of 2020, but I'm not that excited for the new year. Mainly cause there's nothing guaranteeing it will be better.

 

[Michael the Spikester]

Decided to go to my dad's place for a bit. I don't want Sophie feeling distress all day.

Might have to get a technician or someone to check into my furnace.

There is nothing worse than being in the middle of making a lengthy post and being interrupted by a phone call.

Destroys the trail of thought.

I commend you for your optimism and hope you are right.
We will see. I think we have to get over some final 2020 road blocks (being jan 20th, the eventual fighting that come from the fallout and etc) and then we can hopefully grow.

Not sure how many people here are fans of the Fate series or another Type Moon work like Melty Blood, but if you have played/heard of Melty Blood, you probably know that it is a sequel to one of Type Moon's earlier and most prominent VNs, Tsukihime. It has been known since 2008 that a Tsukihime remake was in the works.

After over 10 years, they haven't really talked much about the Tsukihime remake... until today:

『月姫』リメイク版2021年夏にPS4／Switchで発売決定。奈須きのこ氏・TYPE-MOONがおくる伝奇ビジュアルノベルが家庭用ゲームで蘇る https://t.co/G02iSyvvmk pic.twitter.com/xlEyF8RSzp

— ファミ通.com (@famitsu) December 31, 2020

That's right, we finally have news about the Tsukihime remake! It will be releasing to the PS4 and the Nintendo Switch in Summer 2021!

They even already released a trailer showcasing some of the voice actors/voice actresses for the Tsukihime remake (I need to doublecheck which ones are new and which are returning from Melty Blood). It also features an animated PV by ufotable to promote the remake, with music provided by Aimer!

Some probably know me as a big Fate series fan, but truth be told, Tsukihime (or more specifically, Melty Blood, which is a sequel to that game) was my first exposure to Type Moon, and that eventually led me to discovering the Fate franchise. Thus, you can imagine that seeing this news makes me really happy! It's great to know the Tsukihime remake release date is finally set in stone!

Now that the remake is on the way, it gives me hope we'll see more Tsukihime-related content in the near future, like:

• A new Melty Blood game (pretty much the whole reason we didn't get a Melty Blood game since Actress Again was because French Bread was waiting for the Tsukihime remake to release)
• A proper Tsukihime anime adaptation (and since ufotable made that animated PV to promote the remake, it'd be great if they'd be the ones to adapt Tsukihime into an anime).
• That FGO collaboration with Tsukihime at long last (and in turn, being able to summon Tsukihime characters like Arcueid or Ciel, with Tohno Shiki as a possible welfare servant).

Definitely my most anticipated Switch game of 2021! Will also be cool to see all the new fans this remake will bring!

British political thing below:

Well my friends or more specifically my fellow members from mainland UK, today will make the start of this so-called "build back better Britain" as the end result of this ****storm known as Brexit.

Or more to foster the egos of those in London who actually don't care about the people in Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast. **** day.

Still wished Brexit never happened in the first place.

So with my main focus going to be Persona 5 Royal, think I might do a sort of year in review personally here. Going to tag Lamperouge Wademan94 @Bakugan2556 and @JDCabrera as I kinda see you guys as some of the ones I'm closest to on here. Feel a bit selfish tagging you guys but that's kinda me, something I hope to improve on for next year.

My year in review:

Spoiler: The Bad

This has probably been one of the worst years of my life so far.

- Pandemic crashed my confidence and plans to get stuff like my focus and routine back. My plans for going to the library all the time and getting a proper diet messed it all up.

- Had my laptop and PS4 fail me.

- My anxiety symptoms and going to the hospital every week and thus being on meds was a road that happened to me and another blow to confidence. Feel like **** all the time and feel emotionless all the time

- Political crap like Brexit has made me think about my personal identity and strengthened my long held beliefs about how I can see a future for humanity as a whole that can win.

- Losing one of the main pillars of emotional support completely in the form of my siblings.

- All the covidiots and panic buying made me lose a bit of faith in humanity.

Spoiler: The Good

Despite the ****, there has been some great memories.

- Expanded my interests greatly into writing again and even dipped into drawing as well. My interests of geology and history also came back in full swing.

- Anime and Games have really been amazing this year. Laid-Back Camp, The Outer Worlds, Angel Beats, Ghost of Tsushima, Persona 5 Royal etc have all drove me forward.

- The friends I have made both online and offline I'm so grateful for, especially my best friend IRL and you guys who has helped me grow in all this.

- Revisiting the places in my hometown and over in England have been great to see once again.

- And that day I went to see a film with my best friend just weeks before the pandemic. Proves that guy I owe a lot to for being a good friend. I'd invite him to the forums but his humour is 100x times worse than mine so.......nah.

Well ****lords let 2021 bring it on. And hope you guys can do that year in review thing. Interested.

Only remember him for his video on Billy Mitchell.

I don't approve of him shifting the blame onto EZscape and DarkViper, both of whom seem to be innocent, but it's always sad to see someone fall into such a deep state of despair that they feel like suicide is the only way.

Spoiler: The Bad

• COVID. **** COVID.
• Persistent car problems like the brakes giving out and the motor
• New neighbors who let their pit bulls roam around and blast their terrible music
• Dealing with idiots who don't know how to wear masks and follow guidelines
• Occasional bouts of anxiety and depression

Spoiler: The Good

• I'm still fortunate enough to have a job during the pandemic
• Talking with you guys did a lot to raise my spirits during it all and I hope to continue getting along with everyone here
• Deepened my bonds with my siblings and made a few friends IRL
• Video games were pretty good this year, with Xenoblade and Persona 5 Royal being highlights for me
• Watched a few anime that I thought were great and I'm even a really big fan of one of them now

Typing on mobile is a pain and I'm not really interested in putting all my business out there right now, so yeah.

2020 has certainly been a very difficult and challenging year for me and I am sure, I am not the only one who is alone on this. Sure there are many things that I have lost and there are some things that made me reflect more on my life.

On a positive note, I had learned a number of new things such as taking drawing and art as my new hobby. In addition, I also have Disney+ which really helped me and my family endure this difficult time of the year.

As Tony Stark once said during EndGame:

"Everybody wants a happy ending. Right? But it doesn't always roll that way. Maybe this time. I'm hoping if you play this back, it's in celebration. I hope families are reunited, I hope we get it back and something like a normal version of the planet has been restored, if there ever was such a thing. God, what a world."

In addition, you may have seen this posted on my signature which is an inspiring quote from Ip Man 2:

"Though people have different status in life, everybody's dignity is the same. I hope that from this moment on, we can start to respect each other.”

This is something that I do hope everyone will acknowledge as I do feel that we all share the same goal which is to fight against the coronavirus, not using to cause division amongst others.

Lastly to conclude, to everyone who is on the Smashboards forums, "As the chapter of 2020 comes to a close, a new chapter begins. I like to wish you all a Happy New Year and may 2021 bring you hope, health, happiness and prosperity!"
