I always feel like I should like the Electric type more than I do.

By itself it's a very cool type, but I've never really been attached to its roster that much. There's some cool **** in there like Electrabuzz, Ampharos, Manectric, Eelektross and Toxtricity, but outside of my boy Pachirisu there's never been a Pokemon in the type I've been that attached to in the same way types like Normal, Grass, Bug and the like have given me.

The only thing I'm missing for 100% completion in Pikmin 2 are the caves in the last area

Gonna do them tomorrow but Ima be real based on the one milisecond I spent on the first one I'm pretty terrified

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

If Me, Noi and Mighty all played lethal company together, I feel they would ring the bell at the boss to sell our **** so much, run off and have me get killed

Then I get payback by not telling them the jack in the box is in the same room as them

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Clears throat

...Gen VI has the most solid roster of Pokemon of all the Pokemon generations

 

[Wario Bros.]

I just finished the whole series of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It is one of the best shows that I have ever seen.

There's still a lot more Star Wars that I want to watch and I've only made a tiny scratch on that task.

Me: Asks for a trans character in my favorite fighting game so I feel represented and included in one of my favorite universe.
The other bozos on Ultra-Combo Forums: Why are you forcing politics into video games!?! That kind of thing isn't important to a character in a fighting game!
Me: Meme can not be embeded

You're supposed to click it.... god damn it I hate sarcasm, I can't stop myself from responding to it literally.

That’s exactly why I like it

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I was just told this by someone on the ultra combo forums.

“But what would be the point of having more gender diversity when ultimately it’s not going to mount to much in terms of sales?”

Like bruh what? How do I even respond to that?

Better question.


Why are you on a website that acts this way?

Tbh meme can't be embedded kinda goes hard cause I thought it was a meme that was too risky for the boards

I’ve been on that site since the KI reboot was new and I was in high school. Back then I thought it was fine and the people there were cool. And it is the forums section on the official KI website so the devs would sometimes look at the stuff people were posting and comment and respond.

But now that this kind of person is on the site regularly… I mean maybe I should leave but also like… I don’t know where else to go yo talk about that common interest.

Snake stop getting involved in drama on other forums and running back to tell us about it.

Tell 'em to suck a **** or just stop engaging with them all together. Either way just leave me out of it

I mean, when a frustrating situation happens I’m gonna try to get support from people I trust. And I can’t talk to my family about this stuff cause they’ll just say it’s all stupid. So… you guys.

Well you are right that wanting a transgender character isn't political. But it sounds like that website is being very disingenous and isn't doing anything to curb transphobia and sexism over there given that you seem to get into a lot of argumemts despite seemingly innocent requests. It's best to not hang out there anymore for your own sake, cause it can easily get ugly.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

And what do you think I’ll say?

You’re an endless font of sarcasm and mockery. But you’re also one of my closest and only friends since I only have one irl.

It's getting warmer. Maybe try going out some more and meeting people irl. It can really help a mental state instead of going online and falling into self destructive habits or falling into the wrong, toxic communities with no way to claw out.

What you're describing doesn't sound healthy at all.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I suddenly remebers the movie Grave of the Firelfies and now my heart ****ing HURTS

 

[Shroob]

I get it.

It's a place you've hung out for probably years and there's sentimental value to it.


But if people are gonna act that way, and the site staff don't feel the need to stop it, then.... yeah, it's time to let go and move on.

Forums should be a place you post when you're bored and not much else. Getting too invested in them can be bad in the long run.

Well that and to get unverified advice on how to... um, live, but I guess that's a bygone era

And that was the last we heard from StormC

 

[HyperSomari64]

If Lucina can be the antagonist of Peppa Pig, why can't a Xenoblade girl be the antagonist of another preschooler show?

 

[Noipoi]

Yeah, exactly!

And if you have a lot of posts, say over 50,000 for instance, you should just throw in the towel because no amount of grass touching will save you

I want to see Melia become the villain of Octonauts now

While we're at it, can Cynthia from Pokemon also become the villain of Little Einsteins, cuz her battle song could have some fire lyrics set to it

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Ok. I just went down my stairs in the dark with only a flashlight and I swear I saw a Freddy Fazbear head on the bookcase at the bottom for a split second.

czy to Freddy Fazbear?

Hurr hurr hur hur hurr~

This reminds me of a dream I once had. Back when FNaF 2 and 3 were still new, I had a mild nightmare where some of the FNaF animatronics were actually in my house once.

Most of them were just the FNaF 2 withered versions of the original crew, but there were also two new ones that smaller than the rest and looked like demented Muppet-style characters, and another brand new one that looked like a badly damaged wolf animatrominc that looked even more vicious than Foxy.

I don't remember much else about the dream, other than everyone including myself thinking they were just Halloween decorations at first, and that I eventually left the house after learning that they weren't and that there would be a period where they would gradually activate like in the games, only for some of them to follow me for miles anyway.

I say "mild" because there were no scares in the nightmare beyond the animatronics being there to begin with and later trailing me even after I got out of the house.

 

[TheMightyP]

What will it be fellas?

Mustard? Or Ketchup?

Ketchup for me. I never was a mustard fan.

I don’t get it

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I don’t get it

It's a meme where someone saw this brand of cartoon bear-themed trash cans in Poland and either thought it was or joked about it looking like Freddy Fazbear, then humming part of the Toreador March.

The video itself went viral and the clip and line have since been used as jokes whenever Freddy or almost any other bear character shows up.

Man back in those days the characters would terrify me so much I had to sleep with my lights on and with my windows covered up by a sheet. And I was in high school.

Now I sleep with plushies of the characters in my bed!

Though I do swear that one time I went downstairs and used the bathroom down there really late at night/early in the morning and heard something with servo style joints moving around. No idea what that could have been and was probably just my mind playing tricks on me. But in that moment all I could think was “Freddy is in my living room, I can NOT leave this bathroom the size of a closet”.

Ketchup in general but I put both on my burgers.

Ah. I see. Cultural references I do not get.

When the first game came out I had a dream where Foxy was in my little Jersey apartment. Feared for my life.

I took the bus home from school and once I fell asleep on there and dreamt Freddy was following the bus in the distance.

Add to that my nightly fear that Bonnie would suddenly open my door and grab me and my life was not pleasant for a long while.

The nostalgia for the series is real, but while the games haven't totally lost their scare factors, man were the games much more frightening when they were brand new and I was still in my teenage years.

If it's not nightmares about them, it's paranoia or just generally being unnerved by the more uncanny aspects of their design. And to this day, Foxy and Freddy seemed to be the ones that induced the most fear in people (besides maybe Springtrap, but he came much later than than the rest).

Despite all that, the games and characters remain popular enough to have merchandise and for people to be able to separate the horror element from them outside of the mainline games. It's pretty amazing what the series has been through and how it's impacted pop culture.

I was most afraid of Bonnie. Scott was right, that rabbit was nightmare fuel. Foxy was a close second though.
