This post feels like going back to fanfiction.net circa the 2000s.

Except nobody knowing who the last two are

 

[Shroob]

Happy New Year from the west coast!

 

[Zinith]

Well, at least I could see the fireworks in the far off distance

 

[Z25]

Happy New Years officially from here! Hope it’s a good year for everyone here!

 

[Jondolio]

Sonic x Amy ftw
Shadow x Rouge ftw
Mario x Peach ftw
Luigi x Daisy ftw
Mighty x Ray ftw
Bayonetta x Jeanne ftw

But if you close your eyes
Does it almost feel like nothing's changed at all

 

[crazybenjamin]

Here's a lucky coincidence: after I had already pledged allegiance to Team Sweet, I got the "Sweet-Toothed" title from the Shell-out Machine! (I'll probably go back to "Savvy Trendsetter" after the Splatfest is over)

 

[Shroob]

Happy New Year!


Like 5 minutes before the clock turned over I came out as bi to my family and I feel like vomiting

Good for you.


Not the vomiting part, I mean.

 

[Pink Yoshi]

Happy new year, everyone! Here's hoping it's a good one!

 

[Mamboo07]

He sure does like them.

 

[TheMightyP]

Do you think Japanese people look at American landscapes and go, "Holy **** this is just like キングオブザヒル"

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

おはようございます. I release the blessing of peace upon everyone here this morning and pray that the upcoming new year treats y'all wonderfully!

This year went okay for me. I was finally able to get the last few games (Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, Mario Party 2, Mario Party 3, Super Mario Party, Mario Party Superstars) to complete the Honeydew Arcade...which I should re-brand as Maryse's Rec Room. Over the holidays, my only present was God's infinite love.

What am I looking forward to in 2023? Not much at the moment; just the Super Mario Bros. movie and, of course, the amiibo.

2022 was the best year of my life for a lot of reasons, so I'm expecting this year to be relatively tamer.

my relationship with my bf hasn't collapsed yet, I start a new, better job on the 3rd(and I have a safety net to boot since I'm working with a local nonprofit where if I turn out to not like the job I can leave and they can get me sorted out into a new one in a similar career path) and I'm taking my driver's road test on the 10th: should I pass, that will open up new opportunities for me and secure more independence to boot.(I need to save up for a car unfortunately but not having to drive with someone else already would go a long way in helping ease myself into being 100% fully independent and ready to move out)

 

[CureParfait]

Happy new year, hopefully it is a good one.

The question of "the best Phineas and Ferb character" is an age-old debate that I desire to get the ultimate answer to

I mean, I think it's Candace, but that's probably just me being stoopid. I'd like to hear your answers

Of course it's Doofenshmirtz

Do you think GF knew what they were doing when they aged up Gary and Red in the game Sun and Moon

It's a toss-up between Candace and Doofenshmirtz for me. They're both equally hilarious.

Do I need to bring out the horny stick again?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Do I need to bring out the horny stick again?

Not today, thanks, maybe later

But really, thats a legit question im curious about. Why did they even age them up in the first place. They could of kept then as 10 y/os if they wanted

I don’t understand

While it's not explictly stated, the games have a timeline where the amount of time passed is about how much time has passed between each gen in the real world. RBG released in 1996, Red was 11, GS came out in 1999 so three years passed so he'd be 14. When he returned in BW2, that was in 2012 so 13 years passed and he'd be 27 (though he's 28 here so maybe an early birthday). SM has him at 30, but SM also takes place in a differemt continuity from other games. Even then, a timeline has been established since Gen 2, that game was dealing with the aftermath of Team Rocket.

 

[Hydreigonfan01]

I don’t understand

It's the chorus to this song that has since become a meme

 

[osby]

Speaking of Sun and Moon, it really had a great art direction now that I'm looking back.

The setting was super unique, there are a ton of strong Pokemon designs that fit well into the island aesthetic while also feeling distinct, characters were diverse and USUM may have my favorite protagonist designs ever in the series.

Isn't it obvious? It's the suave, fedora-wearing hero who keeps the entire Tri-state area safe from Dr.Doofensmirtz's dastardly schemes.

[Michael the Spikester]

how is everyone liking the new year so far?

Started on a pretty somber note so far, my great-uncle unfortunately passed away from stage 4 cancer last night. Don't know when the funeral will take place but I'll be attending out of respect.

Other then that, pretty quiet and so far good. Gonna try to make this year a better one if I can.

 

[Z25]

What simp gave her a shiny?

Because it was the 20th anniversary, so they wanted to show the original protagonist and rival after 20 years.

 

[CannonStreak]

Again, happy new year. Here is a song for the occasion.

[Aurane]

So for this New Year, ive decided that im done arguing with everyone; if you disagree with me, I'm just going to straight up kill you.

Also maybe I'll actually beat the games I said I would years ago.

 

[cashregister9]

Jondolio posted this a while ago but I finally finished it but also I had to cop out with the favorite pokemon because I cannot decide between those 3 as my favorite

Spoiler: Gen 9 pokemon

Also there are so many pokemon I love that I could not put in my favorites and it hurts me.
