Y'all Oklahomans are lucky you don't have to deal with the humidity that is Southeast Texas.
It's the reason why I always prefer Winter because you don't sweat like a pig right when you get outside

It's gonna be 115º degrees outside tomorrow here in Louisiana.

[Raziek]

The next stream will be tomorrow at 7:30 PM Eastern. Music will start at about 7:00 and game will start at about 7:30.

But before that...
I make posts flagging everyone that I'm streaming and I get people liking it, but obviously you guys don't like it enough to actually watch. I get 1, 2 maybe 3 people watching the stream when there's 20 of you in that list. So I'm thinking I'm not going to continue this because it seems that no one cares aside from being flagged in posts. Is that all it is? You guys just like it when @ you? I know people can't make it every night, but 2 seems to be the norm.

And you know what? Who cares if you have trouble actually watching the stream? Come in anyways and ask for someone to give you a play by play commentary. Or just come for the conversation or both.

It's really hard to want to do this when it seems no one gives a crap. And right now I'm convinced, aside from like 3 of you, no one gives a crap. So tell me now:

Do you truly care about this? Are my times/days really that poor? Why am I doing this?

Maybe some wires got crossed somewhere, but way back when you posted initially, you asked if people were interested in having units be a part of your team. Like, if I was to say "Hey I named Cloud after myself, who wants to be Barret?"

I didn't see that as any sort of implicit agreement that I have to try to watch the streams and follow the progress of said units? XCOM as a game doesn't even interest me that much, I just volunteered my info because I figured you just wanted to be more attached to your units by having them named after RST members. I have neither the time nor the desire to watch you stream it.

Like, I'm not trying to hurt feelings here, but you're like, WAY OUT OF LINE in getting MAD at people for not showing up? Bruh. Stream participation is 100% voluntary. That's how streaming works. This isn't a job, I'm not getting paid to show up and watch.

If I had known you'd be getting this upset about it I probably wouldn't have provided my info at all. You're not entitled to viewers just because you choose to stream. Between training sessions, work, and my own hobbies, watching the stream is pretty far down my priority list.

There's an honest answer for you. Sorry if it hurts.

I was never implying that you HAD to watch. It would have been nice, sure, but I wasn't expecting it. I'm just shocked that so few people are actually coming out to watch. It doesn't help that they constantly "Like" the posts and then didn't watch.

However, more importantly, this is getting more vicious and acidic than I thought it was going to, so I'm going to close with this:

It's done. It's over. I'm not going to deal with it anymore. I'm burying it here and now. It's done. It's over.

Fun fact on the subject:

Where I'm at in Ohio, we've been getting severe thunderstorms and tornado warnings for the last month and a half.

 

[Avokha]

So yesterday I played this annoyingly good Samus player on For Glory, and won all 3 games I played with the guy. After the first game, he remarked "that's it?" and "yawn" and by game 2 (which ended in sudden death/timeout) he was legit salty and calling me profane names. I decided to enjoy this salty moment and make some witty replies when suddenly the CSS timer went out and I forgot to select a character. The game gave me Pit, and at first I wasn't taking the game seriously as I don't play Pit but didn't want to bother getting temporarily banned, but after a little way into it I decided to try to win, and I bodied him with Pit of all characters. Either that was a bad matchup for Samus or he couldn't adjust to my non serious tactics, either way I kinda wanna pick up the angel now

Well, Samus is one of the worst characters in the game apparently, so...
If I had to choose a Pit to play as, personally I'd play as Dark Pit for dat electroshock.

If you want to pick him up go for it, I've always found that Pit suits my playstyle the best and I always get the farthest in tournaments when using him.

True, that Spamus was just giving my Robin a hard time as it was (accursed charge shots)
Ah well, seeing his salt was oh so satisfying

*towards your opponent*

That is absolutely despicable. Also, Samus can deal with Pit, it's just a matter of not spamming projectiles all the time and abusing all the mindgames a Charge Shot forces.

So I just bought Splatoon, which is pretty cool.

And I came across this thing while I was at Gamestop.

Dear lord it is so casual I was laughing out loud in the store.

It claimed that Ganondorf was tied for the heaviest character in the game with Bowser.






A couple people will have seen this in two places kind of but I don't caaaaaaaaaaaare.

And even then, we already have that artwork.
I want an extended version of the 3DS art. Where is that?

Well, I'm pissed off.

Today I had a good, detailed chat with my brother about an incident that occurred the other day (you may recall this as the incident that caused me to go off on a nihilistic rant). We talked about our respective issues, concerns we have for each-other, how we can resolve the tensions and ultimately move on from it.

Turns out he decided it'd be a good idea to drop me off at the shop and then go home without telling me. This may sound relatively innocuous in theory, and under any other circumstances, it would be. But to me, here and now, it just strikes me as the apotheosis of absolute fury. I am so utterly, deeply hurt and enraged that I've gotten past the stage of anger to find myself adrift on a sea of tranquil intensity.

I am beyond words. I really thought that this would be the point at which we realised, yeah, we've been ***** to each-other, it's time to bury the hatchet and move on. I thought there was some good in him. I really and truly felt that he could demonstrate his worth as a moral human being.

Instead, he's abused my trust too many times for me to even care. I am in shock. He calls me a worm, forces me to apologise when I'm in absolute despair, threatens to physically beat me and then strands me without so much as a word. Ten minutes I stood outside that shop, wondering where he was, until I called him up and was told he couldn't find me so he just went home.

I am so angry it hurts. I can't even bring myself to talk to him right now.

Incidentally, he told me today that I am, indeed, the last person to hear about what would otherwise be important family events.

Grandmother's an alcoholic?

Other side's grandparents think they've failed me as surrogate caretakers?

Mother's been smoking for five years since she told me she would quit?

Grandfather was ostensibly dying a few years ago?

Who the **** even cares about Niko? It will just hurt her to know these things. Keep her wrapped up. Shelter her from the madness and despair of the world.

I'm done with this. **** him. **** his absolute **** of a moral paradigm. Especially **** me.

**** me.

****.

Me.

Thanks to anybody that dared to read this emotional vomit. I am sorry to have to dredge this up here, but I trust you guys, and most importantly, I know I can be myself in here. I love you guys. Thank you so much for your kindness and help.

It always been like that for smash. I remember the Brawl one back in 08 and they said that MK's killing power was average and I was like LMAO along with other dumb stuff in their star rating system. In this day of age when it comes to fighting games guides like that tend to get outdated real fast. The only good one that I didn't regret buying much was the Future Press Soul Calibur V book cause it had everything from tournament mindsets, character breakdowns, common strategies, frames for every character and moves to look out for every character it was amazing and when it came out before the first patch dropped out it was really hard to find. It's still a ok resource now despite the patches SCV got.

TLDR it was good for casuals, competitive players and people looking into competitive play.

Don't say **** to yourself, Niko-chan.

In times like this, you have to stay on top of it all. Keep telling yourself "Stay Strong. They still love me." I believe, eventually, that you and your brother will make up soon, but you have to stay with hope. You have to forgive him for what he did, even if it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. Try to do things that'll make you see things in a brand new light right now, to make you feel better.

We love you, too! And we will support you forever Nyquil. Promise~

I'm sorry that all I can offer is my deepest condolences and sympathies. Curse the lack of technological advances that would allow us instant teleportation! Cause otherwise you would be getting one hell of a hug from me right now!

Instead all I can do is try to comfort you with these words I'm writing. I hate saying "I'm sorry" because I KNOW how little that means in a situation like this. Trust me when I say that I know what it's like to deal with an absolute ass of a person. The number one thing to keep in mind though, is that it's ALL ON THEM! Their toxic and self-absorbed ways of life disgust me, because they CHOOSE to live like that! NONE of that is on you! You are a beautiful, kind, amazing, and strong human being!

So no. NOT **** YOU! **** THEM! **** THEM and their destructive, self-absorbed little worlds! They're not worth your time, because you are an awesome person, and you don't deserve having their baggage weigh you down.
