I've been playing a lot of Persona 3 Portable lately; I've gotten much farther than I was in the PS2 version. I made it to the fourth gate in Tartarus; Aigis just joined the party (much sooner than I expected - I figured she wouldn't be introduced until the last quarter of the game), and they seem to be setting up for Ken and Koromaru to join (not sure if they're considered separate party members or a package deal).

I'm enjoying it so far - I'm glad that I went with the female protagonist, since she actually gets to have social links with the men of the party (and her social links don't automatically turn romantic unlike the male protagonist's; you get a choice at a certain point). Weirdly enough, I've mainly been sticking with Pixie - she's an early game Persona, but she has no weaknesses, which is a huge help (since in Persona, an enemy hitting you with your weakness means that they get an extra turn), and the skill cards make it so she can use all four of the basic elements.

Also, I saw Ant-Man 3 on Saturday. No idea why the reviews are so mixed - sure, it mainly felt like set-up for the Kang Dynasty and Secret Wars, but it was an entertaining movie.

I didn’t know Pixie had no weaknesses. Odd thing to have, tho I suppose it’s fair since it feels like most don’t tend to use her.

God. Lego Marvel Superheroes 2 is just bad. Like… I love all the Lego games but MSH2 has poor theming, a weird character lineup, a bad color pallet (strangely), and horribly voice acted characters that never shut up. I know they couldn’t help the cast because the game was made during that big voice actors union strike. But I just tried replaying it after having replayed all the previous Lego DC and Marvel games and I can’t bring myself to keep going.

Like, with how low my opinions of Marvel 2 are, it makes me really want them to do a third Lego marvel game (not based on the mcu) just so it can be better than Marvel 2.

So you know how I said my psuedo legendary is going to be a Ground/Fairy Sphinx?

I decided to make it a sphinx in the middle stage and have the final stage be a Serpopard, a creature from Egyptian mythology that combines a Serpant and a Leopard, and have it be Fairy/Dragon instead of Ground/Fairy. I think it's a concept that gives off a better Psuedo-Legendary vibe while also fitting the line thematically

An extra thought that I would like some feedback on - I'm considering giving the psuedo line a split evo. Other than my Serpopard I'm thinking of making a Fairy/Poison Manticore Psuedo.

This one I'm not sure about though and would appreciate some feedback

In Japan time the Star Fox series has turned 30 years old! :ultfox:

While it has been having trouble getting back on its feet in recent years, it has made some large feats like Nintendo un-cancelling a major game more than 20 years later and even a major crossover with an Ubisoft game (as well as a prototype of Dinosaur Planet for N64 being leaked).

Hopefully we'll get something new soon.

Cyclizar and Houndstond? Literally why.


Cyclizar was banned due to Shed Tail, and now Orthworm just is seeing play instead of it. Why not just ban Shed Tail?

Houndstone is a mid-AF Pokemon and is only banned due to Last Respects, which, surprise, Basculegion gets it too, and is an actual, legit threat, especially since it has Swift Swim.

Bans happen because the game is broken and unbalanced.

Reminder it was confirmed in an interview PVP battles were a last minute addition and a complete afterthought when developing RBY. They only ended up getting added cuz Nintendo forced it on them, they would have sooner had the feature use auto attacks like Dragon Quest Monsters and now they're stuck with a meta they don't really seem to care about given they purposefully design things like Mega Rayquaza.

Basculegion has yet to be available and be tested but I wouldn't be surprised about it getting quickbanned.

Orthworm is easier to outspeed and Speed is an arguably busted stat in Pokemon meta. If it gets outsped and takes too much damage, it's easier to stop its Shed Tail as opposed to Cyclizar whom can just Regen and do it again.

Also Smogon's format is ultimately fanmade and there are other formats on Showdown or you could just play VGC. They have to completely rework how Sleep and Freeze work with things like Sleep clause because of how little skill or commitment there can be with those status conditions. Though I admit it is very funny they removed the Anything Goes ladder all because a grand total of 2 users were whining about Tera Electric Air Balloon Shedinja and ReviveCats.

I like competitive Pokemon just to observe it and discuss it because actually playing it is a joke. Personally, my own solution is to just play better games like Coromon where I don't have to put up with this kind of thing. Indie games like that only inspire and motivate me in my journey to learn to code, sprite, program, game develop, write stories and more as I work towards my dream of making my own indie games.

Whenever the next 3D Kirby game is, I hope they make Mata Knight playable.

I think his skillset would be perfect for 3D (and as I said before, in every game he's playable, he's more fun to play than Kirby)

I just wish they'd give him more attacks from his boss fights. He's basically just a clone of Sword Kirby with Wing thrown in the mix, with very few differences between them.
