Social The Social Thread 3.2.1

[Cutie Gwen]

Y'know with GUN Commander's name being something that Ian Flynn did under Archie, we may actually be in the Eclipse The Darkling timeline...

As neat as it would be, I feel like there's a difference between using a name for a game canon character and using stuff from an entirely different canon. Wouldn't mind being wrong though

Also holy **** I am seeing Dandadan blow the **** up after the anime started, what the hell

The big day

 

[Jondolio]

Tfym Jujutsu Kaisen ended last week?!

the Aigis of old sounded like this

Yeah I don't think I can go back to this from P3R. Totally not biased because the new actress is part Jewish

 

[Shroob]

So, we only got 3 more Mightiest Mark starter raids left in Scar/Vio, huh? Meganium, Feraligatr, Torterra, unless they do the Paldea starters I guess.

 

[Jondolio]

Thinking of starting over my P3R playthrough cause I'm not satisfied with my social link progress.

I followed a guide pretty closely only to realize that I finished half of the non-school social links way too early and now I'm stuck with Moon and Star as my only non-school social links while most of the school ones aren't even close to being done. Not to mention that I'm only in rank 1 with both of the availale SEES girls

I trust the guide and I know I'll likely still be able to complete all the links before January 30th but MAN they did not cook here, I hate how Moon is the only available option in some days because I hate that stupid social link

Will say that at least I find the main story more compelling than the social links this time around so I don't mind too much but still

Hi folks, long time no see.

If you’re wondering why I disappeared for a while…well, life has been kinda busy lately and my health recently went through a bit of a dip – I think I strained something in my body and that was awful. Plus I’ve been discussing the prospect of moving with my mother – it won’t be for a while yet, but the idea is there, and frankly I’d be happy to get out of this dump.

That aside though, Disventure Camp All-Stars wrapped up, and the finale was surprisingly Not That Awful™ given the standards for this season. The Staff Stories spin-off has been pretty decent, too. Though I’m not that excited for the TomJake spin-off, at this rate I’m mainly just excited to see the new cast, which seems like a lot of fun.

With Disventure Camp put aside though, I’ve been wanting to get more into movie talk after the recent release and acclaim of The Wild Robot in America. Since we’re almost at the 50th Dreamworks big-budget animated film (though discounting stuff like Joseph King of Dreams and Megamind vs The Doom Syndicate, I counted that the GABBY’S DOLLHOUSE MOVIE will be their 50th lmao) I was wanting to do a marathon of their movies once The Wild Robot becomes more readily available to watch in my country. And, I’ve wanted to get more into live-action movies too. Recommendations are welcome.

So all that aside, is there anything important that happened here which I missed while I was gone? Cuz it HAS been a while…

Also yes, Tyrantrum is still Boss as Hell

 

[Jondolio]

I'm visiting my parents in Cyprus and I happened upon a random convenience store that had a few Pokémon action figures. Among the Pokémon they had were Greninja and Decidueye, my favorite and third favorite Pokémon respectively.

They no longer had them when I left the store

You can rewind to like 5 days before the current date in settings iirc but you should be fine, worst case scenario you can get a job or hang out at the arcade. I'll accept an apology for slandering the Gourmet King as payment for my useful tips

My problems with my file are more long term, I just finished summer vacation and now my only options for non-school days are Moon, Star, Sun for Sundays, or Linked Episodes sometimes since I finished both Hanged Man and Hierophant. I feel like I could've probably focused on School Social links rather than the latter two since I could've probably gotten most of their ranks up done on summer vacation and instead I have a lot of school social links I'm not even close to clearing (I got Emperor and Magician done early and I'm on rank 9 of Strength but haven't really progressed with Temperance, Justice, Fortune, Chariot, Lovers, or Priestess and I could've cleared a lot of them earlier if I knew about summer vacation)

Also I only need to max out academics and maxed out both night social links so now I don't have much to do at night either

I'll accept an apology for slandering the Gourmet King as payment for my useful tips

Look Gwen even if he wasn't an unlikable caricature of a fat person I still wouldn't think prioritizing a link that you can progress any day of the week is a good strategy and since he is that I would much rather focus on other links

 

[Pink Yoshi]

I recently caught up on Pixar while on break, and here's how I'd rank the films
--
#28. Lightyear
Ginormous gap
#27. A Bug’s Life
#26. Brave
#25. Monsters University
#24. Cars 2
Another big gap
#23. Incredibles 2
#22. Toy Story
#21. Finding Dory
#20. Cars
#19. Cars 3
#18. Up
#17. Elemental
#16. Coco
#15. The Incredibles
#14. Monsters Inc
#13. The Good Dinosaur
#12. WALL-E
#11. Toy Story 4
#10. Turning Red
#9. Toy Story 3
#8. Finding Nemo
#7. Onward
#6. Toy Story 2
#5. Ratatouille
#4. Inside Out 2
#3. Inside Out
#2. Luca
#1. Soul (Still my favorite movie yep)

I'm extremely excited for Elio btw

I used a guide for my NG+ playthrough and yeah some links went ignored for quite a while in it so chances are you could be fine, maybe try and get the I think Temperance Shuffle Time to get bigger boosts for academics?


It's ok, we can't all have objectively correct opinions like me
...
Ok yeah he does suck but in a cool way narratively which I find really neat, so I cannot say he's the worst social link like everyone else says, especially when Scott the Woz exists. God, what a boring character

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Really though, are we ever gonna get a Sonic comic character in the games aside from Sonic Dash/Speed Battle? Either era. They said they can do it now and then they never do it.

Wait until we get a game that embraces it's cast I guess, Sonadow Gens doesn't have the opportunity but Tangle at least got the mention. Would love a Surge boss fight

See it's not that I can't finish them with my current progress, it's just that I feel like I could do it differently while getting a lot more school links done faster. Considering there's more of them I feel like it's just smarter to get them out of the way first while saving the non-school links for later

Ok yeah he does suck but in a cool way narratively which I find really neat, so I cannot say he's the worst social link like everyone else says, especially when Scott the Woz exists. God, what a boring character

Ok I'm gonna be real I haven't gotten far in his link but his rank ups so far have just been boring until rank 5 which gave me an immediate knee jerk reaction. Bro scams kids, gets defensive when he's confronted about it and I need to go along with his bull**** to rank him up more efficiently, that actually makes me mad. I have a slightly similar opinion of the Emperor social link but it's to a lesser degree and it helps that he does get better

Also I don't think it's categorically the worst when Hermit exists but it hasn't exactly endeared me to its central character so far

This is all very fair, I ended up getting those thoughts after beating it. I recommend waiting for NG+ either way for all S Links if you aren't confident as that means you save up so much more time in the dungeon crawling stuff

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Fun fact!

Tipulophobia is the fear of crane flies - a kind of flying insect that looks like a giant mosquito without a proboscis. They're harmless, but are hideous, terrible fliers, and can grow to absurd sizes.

I have a HORRID case of tipulophobia - whenever a crane fly gets into my room it causes me to have severe panic attacks.

And where I live, crane fly season is in full swing, so I have to be VERY careful so one doesn't end up in my room again.

Pain.

I don't really do NG+ on my Persona playthroughs. I get the appeal but I also don't think I can handle playing through the entire game again right after I just beat it

Also I have cleared every social link in P4 and P5 so I don't plan on breaking my track record

 

[Noipoi]

Just watched a video where a Sonic fan says he can’t trust the franchise anymore because, among other reasons, there are black people in the movies. It’s a sign that SEGA has “gone woke”

Luckily he’s getting clowned in the comments

So called 'fans' of Sonic when they hear this song

It's from 2005 so it wouldn't count as DEI or woke or whatever the rscists call it for another 15 years

Now that is just racist. Makes me wonder how they got to that way, and that kind of guy is pathetic with such racism.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Legit though right wing Sonic fans sound insane to me, there's official art of the dude holding a pride flag, he's based off of a democratic president, one of his best friends has his design inspired by the Jamaican flag while also having dreads and rap songs, dude loves breakdancing, had an enviromentalism message since the beginning that quickly went beyond nature vs technology, etc. Then again right wing nutjobs have always been insane

I saw that vid getting clowned on in the Sonic subreddit. I can’t believe you actually watched it.

 

[Wario Bros.]

We should get Detective Pikachu news sometime today

I am definitely curious what exactly it'll be.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Well, since I'm back from my hiatus, I might as well change my PFP again

 

[Shroob]

So, we only got 3 more Mightiest Mark starter raids left in Scar/Vio, huh? Meganium, Feraligatr, Torterra, unless they do the Paldea starters I guess.

I do wonder what the **** they're gonna do for Meganium.


Torterra and Feraligatr I totally can see as threats but...

I mean...

It's Meganium.


I'm sorry if it's one of your favs, but it is objectively the worst starter Pokemon just from a stats and moveset standpoint...

They give it Spore, Worry Seed, Knock Off and Synthesis idk

 

[Shroob]

Now that's creative. Worry Seed and Spore would be nasty.


Not fun at all to fight

But Nasty

I don’t know enough about Pokémon moves to know what this combo does. I only teach my mon moves that negatively impact the enemy’s hp.

Spore is a guaranteed sleep move. Worry Seed negates abilities, which includes Insomnia. Knock Off removes items like Safety Goggles, which block moves like Spore. Synthesis heals and Tera mons have a ludicrously high HP count, way higher than achievable in game

 

[Shroob]

Yeah, throwing Knock Off in there is just downright evil, especially if it opens with it. That's basically uncounterable outside of using a Grass type yourself, since Grass Mons are immune to Powder-based moves.

Maybe give it Blast Burn actually for ****s and giggles as 2 turn moves are real funky in Tera iirc

so it would be really hard to kill

 

[Shroob]

Yeah, because you'd be constantly put to sleep.

Meganium doesn't hit very hard, but it's bulky.


Couple that with constantly being unable to actually do anything, and the raid's timer would run out.

the big day

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Every so often, I like to thank my genetic makeup for not making me prone to migraines.

Seriously, I hear they SUCK. My heart goes out to any migraine-sufferers out there.

 

[Aurane]

Decided to play Animal Crossing NH. Feels good to be on a new island. A fresh start.

I'm on my second day (I'm not time skipping for now). So far I've got a bunch of things done. I own a house. The museum will begin construction... tomorrow? I don't remember how it works. I got almost all the donations done for the Nook Shop, but I'm missing 15 iron nuggets. And as for fruits, I have Cherries, Peaches, and Coconuts.

Overall I'm making some excellent progress.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I successfully made a Sorbet today

Pros: its bussin
Cons; i cut myself on the blade while cleaning

I mean there's One Piece fans that bootlick world governments, GTA fans complaining about politics in gaming, Pokemon Fans, etc etc

Some people don't actually engage the media they consume
