Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

I do accept my flaws though.

Just because you accept them doesn't mean you'll get by. If a villain understands that he murders people for fun, it doesn't make him a hero.

This is, I think, a big part of why gen 2 is my favorite and I've never enjoyed a Pokemon game to the same degree since. That and two of my three favorite pokemon are gen 2.

It felt like a legitimate continuation of the previous game, and I felt like I was mastering pokemon by the time I got to it. Beating Red was like the apex of my childhood gaming career. No other Pokemon game since has captured that same feeling. It's just "pokemon again but this time you're in _____." For me, at least.

Yeah, Pokemon feels like it's always resetting to zero and never actually changing or improving in any long-term way, or at least in a way that doesn't carry over between generations. You would think with such an extreme amount of money and dozens of safety nets, they'd be more willing to experiment.

"Goddammit."

Aren’t we all destructive Old Testament chaos gods at the end of the day?

Seriously. If everyone on the earth had the force, like, 98% of us would be Sith.

 

[Noipoi]

I guess i'm just biased because i'm so absolutely enraptured by the world of Pokemon, but I like the fact that it kinda resets each game.

It's like i'm starting anew as a new person in a new part of this huge world.

I'm going through the images on the Wiki, this is official art...

I can't tell whether this is Yoshizilla-Rhedosaurus' epic backstory or his Holy Grail.

Huhh, I don't have a clever joke to say, since I just wake up and I'm tired, sooo...

Hi there! :3

but there's only yahweh in the old testament

you could not do any type of polytheism

its even insta-execution if you're caught praising molek, god forbid you praise that guy

 

[Iridium]

Were you a mod at one point? Is that confirmed?

Luckily I haven't sent any. The Rankings Team application was the only one

Look, if you do become a mod, terrorize the Bob-Omg social for me.

The anime, though. Too far gone in its own logic.

Hey you all, do you all know what I am going to do to make myself feel better?
I am going to go back to Diamond and Heart Gold to shiny hunt!
Chimchar and Totodile, here I come!
I really hope I don't get a shiny Chikorita.

While I do wish there was a bit more continuity between each game, I do like going into a new generation as a fresh experience.

Whoo boy... the anime is... an entirely different beast altogether.

Multiple gods = Not Old Testament approved.

There's an argument to that, yeah.

One thing I love about Dragon Age is that you start with a brand new protagonist in a new part of the world at a new time in each game. They all take place within the same world and they all have interconnecting themes, but there isn't a lot of direct carryover, so each experience feels separate while also welcoming like a sequel should.

It'd be a sad day for that thread

 

[SnakeFighter64]

I know that. I’m describing the way the god ACTS (ie, vengeful and destructive). Not how the mythology works.

 

[Will]

I don’t even know what I just read.

Judaism and the O.T. was big against child sacrifice. Molek was the Canaanite god of child sacrifice specifically. If you praised him, unlike any other type of trial made with being caught praising another god, it was instant execution by the people.

Leviticus 20:2.

It's just "pokemon again but this time you're in _____." For me, at least.

Johto was a point where a sequel to the first gen was actually pretty cool. Now it's just a part of the annual circle of life, and it's not really revolutionary in any way these days, ignoring the competitive scene. It's the same **** every time. Beat eight gym leaders, take down the crime syndicate, beat the elite four if you didn't go and play a funner game, rinse and repeat. Occasionally, there's a fun twist but the structure is the same. Doesn't help that the stories are barebones and your personal motivations aren't explored in the slightest.

Mechanically, Pokemon is either too easy or too tedious. If you use basic type advantage and level grind, you're gonna steam roll through everything. The only time you don't is if you don't have a type advantage or your levels are lower than the opponent's. At that point, it's war of attrition via potions. It's not bad your first time around because I struggle to find any series that plays like Pokemon. It's just that after playing Gen 4 and the Gen 2 remake, I found things too similar when I picked up future gens.

Adulthood: ***** about children monster games.

Imagine my reign of terror as a mod while I try to catch a wedding garter.

Oh ****, how was the ceremony?

I showed a couple official pics of him tonight showing them...

Everything going smoothly, my bro is now married and I didn't trip while delivering the rings lol.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Well. Time to sleep. See you in your nightmares!

It's only 11:30 where I live, but happy early birthday~ Remind me to say it proper tomorrow~

Great to hear! Now more importantly, did you catch the garter?

Ha! That implies I care about you. /s

Ha! Now I'll be seeing you in your dreams if that's the case. Night, though.

 

[Mythra]

All the men attending decided to be a bunch of butts and we all avoided the garter twice lol
On the third try it landed on someone's shoe so he picked it

 

[Deleted member]

Hey, it's me, your boy. I'm back.

"How did it go", you may ask.

It went...well?

Spoiler: Rant Incoming

I can't say it was a complete wash like the last dance I went to, but I also can't say it was a victory.

I'm pretty sure the girl I'm into likes someone else since she talked to him a lot more than me when he showed up. But stuff like that happens, you know? I just feel like it happens to me a lot. Like, I'm sure someone will come around eventually, but until then I'm just here.

And don't get me wrong here, I'm happy being single. I know my own worth; I'm an active leader in my community, the friends I have really appreciate me, I'm always improving myself physically and mentally, I'm overall an emotional stable person and have the capacity to help others.

It's just, I get lonely sometimes. Even in my own family it's my parents, my sister and her boyfriend, and me. I'm the fifth wheel in my own family. The few relationships I've had failed spectacularly, and I'm still kind of recoiling from my last one because it was just that bad but I feel like I'm at a place where I can go out and date another person and it's something I'd like to do because I feel like it could be really good for me mentally and emotionally but whenever I put myself out there it doesn't work.

Other than that, I hung out with some friends (I got a nice set of pictures with some friends) and made it to the second round of a dance off, but I definitely didn't accomplish what I set out to do, and I'm disappointed because of that. I don't understand why I psych myself up for stuff like this but it's just something I do.

I'm okay, and I'm sure I'll feel better after sleeping this off, but right now I'm sad.

I hope you get in an amazing relationship and you get the best dance of your life!

You know how some people champion Touhou for Smash? If fan remixes say anything about the series, the music's pretty good! Wouldn't mind it one bit.

How's it feel one hour in the future?

Are there flying cars yet?

I just invented the first one.

It doesn't work, but I invented it.

Hey, man, I know people like to vent their frustrations here, but there's a difference between "man i just had a bad day, it's just kinda hard to get through the week" and "all of you hate me anyway".

The difference? The latter of the two is EDGY AS ****. The reason why so many people get on your case is because you never take our advice to heart. You always say "oh yeah i get what you're saying, i'll improve" and then you never do. So either shape up or ship out, because if you're just gonna act like nobody likes you when we're all over here trying to help you improve and be better, then maybe you're the one who doesn't care about US.

For some reason, reading this was mildly upsetting
