Look, all I'm saying is that if you're legitimately upset over the Kids' Choice Awards, you're probably in violation of COPPA.

I guess “Nut up” in concept makes sense. After all, there are literal hard nuts that are tough to crack. Unfortunately people tend to think inside the pants instead of outside the shells core in that case.

I love this.
And I am trying to prevent myself from taking it to my gallery without asking the artist.
By gallery, you mean like saving it to your computer? No artist would have a problem with that, there's a reason they share it in the first place.

Just don't share it without giving the source or act like you drew it.

I think Sonic's characterization in Chronicles was really awful. Sonic is an established character, you can't just give him jerk dialogue options when he's a lot kinder than that towards his friends when he's written in character.
Well, it was by BioWare. So that would explain it.

Sonic Chronicles was a mistake in multiple ways. To my knowledge Bioware was given pretty free reign and little guidance, which is very unlike what Nintendo does when they let a third or second party handle their IPs. Chronicles was also finished post-EA-buyout and rushed out the door by a significantly downsized team. Its soundtrack was even entirely lost by the music director and he made a new one last second.

Like, I guess it could have been much better, but considering the circumstances surrounding its release I'm surprised it's even a 6/10 or so. I remember kind of liking it, though I admittedly don't remember much at all about it.

Yeah, that's true...

Plot: Finished and Revised

While I figure out what actually happens, who wants to read the backstory?

The controls, graphics, and sound effects made me feel like puking. Something that I’ve never felt in any game (Except Prince Caspian on the DS).

Yeah, it's kinda like playing as Black Suit Spider-Man in Web Of Shadows.

He doesn't feel or act like Spider-Man would, but is fun to see how the story goes as him just for the sake of random fun.

I dislike incest in general.

I don't even find jokes about the matter particularly amusing, regardless of the context. I know I sure as hell wouldn't be happy if someone made a joke about it regarding myself.

To each their own as far the humor part goes, I guess, but I just can't stand incest. And it's definitely best not to make a joke about it towards someone else. I can't imagine many people out there would be remotely appreciative of it.

Hot take:

Sonic Chronicles had better controls than Metroid Prime Hunters.

@ me I dare you.

IDK the context or w/e but all I'm gonna say is don't make incest jokes about actual users

You don't know if someone is pretty sensitive to it, and it can be a trigger for some people.
Agreed.

Making jokes about fictional characters is one thing.

Making jokes about a user themselves can go either way (depends on what the joke is and if it can be taken as offensive).

Making jokes about a user’s family is a big NO. Doesn’t matter how funny you think you are or how many likes you get on the post, there are certain lines you simply don’t cross.

I learned the phrase "Nut up" (which simply means Man up in jersey) isn't as wide spread as I thought.

Couple that with me using it in a conversation about my sister and...Smashboards did what it does best.
I’ve heard the phrase from time to time, but it’s not really a mainstream phrase everywhere.

And yeah, whenever you use some type of phrase in this thread, assume someone will somehow use it in the worst possible way.

Who?

*looks it up* Oh, a character from the Elder Scrolls.

It is a Sonic character, just not a character from the games.
It's a character from Sonic the Comic (the British one), called Ebony the Cat.

She runs a Coffee Bar called "The Groovy Train, but is also a fortune teller; she takes in an Amnesiac Super Sonic during a story arc.

This is the original design.

Those two are at least more enjoyable than LEGO Star Wars 2 for NDS.

Seriously: that one is the only game I trully hate. At least Chronicles makes you laugh with some parts of the plot and Hunters works ok on a 3DS.

Alright, here’s the backstory:

Many years in the future, an EMP wave shuts all robots down. When they awaken, they start fighting everything that is not a robot. Many perish, but an equal amount escape and are hiding. To combat the situation, a service booth to fight robots is provided.
48 volunteers sign up to fight robots that run on money, knowing it is a loosing battle. Fortunately, help is on the way. But the help won’t arrive immediately...

I know "triggered lol" is a meme, but incest is a big no for me. I can joke about fictional characters and whatever, but I will not tolerate talking about real families.
Honestly just don't be a ****. Idk why so many people are blind to the fact that everyone is different and is affected by different things differently, and should therefore not say tasteless **** to everyone they meet

Like even if you think you know someone here we're all online. We're all just faceless text on a screen. You can't truly know the ins and outs of people here and what they may or may not be offended by. Don't break social norms, y'all. Be nice and polite.

...There are actually people that care about the results of the Kids' Choice Awards?

I stopped caring about it altogether when I became a teenager. Looking back, I barely even cared about it when I was a kid.

Meanwhile I tried to make it wholesome but I assume you never saw the sibling Lucina and Morgan supports
I actually did see that but I somehow totally missed the other stuff. It made me want to start a new playthrough of Awakening but then I realized it was 1am and I was still buzzed.

Also the last time I started an Awakening playthrough the boss on the first stage crit Chrom with a 2% chance and I had to start over so I said **** that.

I relate a lot with this post.
And no, I won't say why I do because I want to get over it.

I just now noticed I've passed 5,000 posts.

Not sure if that's an achievement, or just a testament to the fact I probably spend too much time here, lol.

Are you still taking tributes?

Being slightly more serious, looking back at the conversation, from my perspective the joke is harmless but people have a right to be offended by it. If you make a joke that people feel uncomfortable about it, I'd say you should apologise but at the same time you have a right to make that joke in the first place. I think if nobody's offended by it it's fine. If arigarmy apologised then I don't see why it's a big deal. Nobody has to be demonised there. Essentially, I think you have a right to make jokes like that and others have a right to be offended by it. And I have a right to not actually present a solid opinion.

I sorta went off on a tangent here.

Not at this point in time. Tributes may begin requests Monday.

I have 42 slots open. Robotic characters can’t participate nor can Users. Only one instance of a character can exist.

You can get away with jokes like that (under certain circumstances) but you really shouldn’t be making jokes about someone’s family.

I mean, I’ll roast another user if it’s on a somewhat smaller matter, like their Smash skills, but I don’t go for jokes that can actually be taken as offensive.

I kind of wish Nintendo had its own Final Fight like Sega did with streets of rage. Imagine in a Fire Emblem like setting where the city was ravaged with crime after a war happened. You fight through hoards of angry civilizans, and criminals to help out, but mostly to survive and escape. Weaponusually are ones in Fire Emblem, but can also be healing staffs, tone you throw with, 2x4s, metal pieces, just anything you get your hands on.
