Everyone is dunking on GamingINTEL. I gotta admit it is pretty funny.

Pyra Pyra To be honest I didn’t even see you say that, so i’ll let it slide this time!

I was actually going to mention something about teaching, because I sometimes have moments as a teacher that remind me why my job is so cool. Like, I basically work more than 8 hours a day just because my brain basically never shuts off, and my job is not only to educate, but to guide students, not indoctrinate, but guide their thinking.

I don’t think teachers are evil, but the school I taught at last year more or less kinda...frowned upon the way I teach. I allow students to challenge societal issues, and bring their personal experiences into class when we discuss race, gender, etc. We practice our reading and writing skills, so it’s still English. I personally feel that teachers who don’t consider the lives experiences of their students are missing a large part of why we teach. It’s depressing.

I’m no longer at that school, gratefully at a new one that appreciates me. But every once in awhile i’ll See students from the last school I was at. It was a military school, or a charter school run by the navy anyway. There were a variety of issues. But every time I see a student from that school (or even students I student taught like 3 years ago at a completely different school who somehow ended up at the school I teach at now) they say, “Everybody misses you”. It’s never “You made me feel smart! You got my grades up!” It always is, “Everybody misses/loved you”.

To me, it’s not that I want to be friends with the students or something. It’s more that I want them to feel like they matter. I don’t know what their lives are like, but it’s a small, personal victory every time a student tells me that.

Sorry, this totally got off track from what you originally said. But I saw a particular student who is incredibly bright at the mall today, and I stopped him before I missed the chance. He said he and his peers missed me. It meant a lot, and it’s not the first time i’ve seen kids from that school say they missed me.

Granted, I miss the teachers who made me feel more than I thought I was or saw potential in me as a person. It was never the ones who made me recite stuff or made things boring.

Again, sorry. That happens when you’re a teacher lol.

Awesome story dude. I think your method of teaching is most effective at bonding with students and schools hating that probably shows that they want to indoctrinate the students with whatever narrative they want to sell.

Glad to see your new workplace appreciates your teaching methods.

You must be a really good teacher.
Teachers that want their students to matter is a good thing.

The source that started the April 11th Direct rumor.

And now they're trying to backtrack being all like "this is unusual let us double check with our sources" lol.

Just gonna throw my two cents on the Direct speculation hat.

To put it simply, I don't think we're getting a general one.

I mean, think of all the games we already have to wait for.

Luigi's Mansion 3
Mario Maker 2
Metroid Prime 4
Bayonetta 3
Astral Chain
Animal Crossing Switch
Link's Awakening
And so on...

And that's not counting the third-parties or whatever surprises they're cooking up for E3.

I think we've got more than enough things to really wait for when it comes to announcements for the time being, which is why I'm doubtful of us getting any general Direct.

If we get a Direct this month, it's a Smash Direct. It'll show us a Joker trailer, talk about his gameplay in detail, cover his stage and all the gimmicks, spend a really long time talking about Stage Builder and anything it'll bring, then maybe tease a few more modes for future updates and/or the next character.

That's enough for a decently-sized Smash Direct, imo, and probably the only thing we'd get until June... if we even get that.

Someone save this post for when I end up being right :V

There's blame to go around the table.

I wanted to believe the rumor but mainly for the Smash stuff. Hopefully there's a Smash Direct in a week or two.

Lemme fire a hot take rq.

We're not getting a Direct at the very least until Atlus spills the beans on whatever P5R is.


It wouldn't make any damn sense for SMASH to be the introduction of "Girl the internet has only seen in glimpses" before now.


We'll get something the last week of April, we'll survive.

This is what I say whenever I get any likes. Third person and all.

I thought we were all friends

It be like that sometimes.

Not to confirm that we have said anything in this instance/at this time, but I had a few people say I would be an awful choice before I got reconsidered. They were absolutely right.

Not mentioning Sword and Shield will be your final mistake. >:]

You can’t hide anything from me, Ismar, I see all.

And by that I mean I saw all this purple text and thought you were gonna knock me down a peg again but not this time I guess

(Also yeah I’m sorry, lol. I really wanna help out but I mean, sometimes I get pretty annoying so I get it.)

Yeah. She's pretty much the obvious choice if they put another Wario rep in unless Waluigi appears in a Wario title and then ends up getting in due to that.

Just google or go on gelbooru and search Kawakami_Sadayo Slugbox Its a bit ecchi of an image, so I don't feel I should place a link on here.

I know, that's kinda the same case for most of the most requested DLC characters though.

Yeah, I could see that..but, uh, you said that Nintendo's big titles year are Pokémon and Fire Emblem so you don't know if Nintendo would go that route again..but, um, Corrin was also from Fire Emblem..so we could see another Fire Emblem character and another Pokémon character wouldn't be an unusual case considering the IPs popularity.

The only thing is, Reggie specifically said that Joker characterized the approach of DLC this time around.

A Pokémon and Fire Emblem character would effectively go directly against that, especially if we got one of each.

What’s been going on is that 4chan has been doing the usual “Steve posting” that is to say... taking pics of Banjo support areas and post them in a negative “mocking” manner.

Almost makes me want to stop supporting Steve...
Click to expand...
You know very well that they don't really care about either Steve or Banjo, right? They are just ****posting fuel. Plus it doesn't help that pretty much people are taking the bait and engaging them when they would just have stopped using Steve ages ago if people just ignored them.
