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

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

View attachment 221139

I mean don't misunderstand, practically everybody wants support and recognition to some degree or another. That ain't an unhealthy thing to want and this ain't even an unhealthy place to get it. That ain't what I'm knocking.

What I'm saying is I feel like there should be more of that kinda stuff coming from inside, y'know? Love thyself and ****. I don't feel like I'm loving myself the way I should be.

That's a me thing and it's up to me to do something to fix it. I gotta prove, to myself, that I'm good enough.

And we ain't exactly setting a high bar here, I just ain't done enough recently to really fill out that tableau. Cleanup and **** was great but if there's more to me than being my own one-man Mighty Maid service then I best damn well put my pen and paper where my proclamations are.

And I feel like I shouldn't be using the Social to fill that, specifically, that self-love, because it can't do it that same way. It just can't. I gotta fill that hole.

Oh no wait, I wasnt saying wanting it is bad, I was saying being addicted to it is bad, sorry bout that

 

[Pyra]

I would probably wanna be here more if it didn’t feel like it was... so redacted

No but seriously, there’s probably a good reason why people stopped wanting to be here so often and it probably doesn’t have anything to do with the time of year like people kept mentioning before

That's what I say to myself every day

If I were to be so honest... the constant rants, not saying you arent allowed to do it, about life problems is overloading and tiring. its just soooo.. well, soooo.. yeah

 

[Zinith]

gimme 20 bucks so i can pay for photoshop lol

If I commission you to draw Fat Yoshi, would you accept?

 

[Deleted member]

I feel like my throat and nose are packed with stuff.

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

But thats everyone here

Dependent agree. Sure, there are people who ****post for likes -> clout, and it is pretty clear that most everybody here gets emotional easily. I mean, not that I'm going to go there, but think back to that discussion about the wiki; nobody wanted their pages to be edited by anybody because they were afraid of the vandalism out of their control.

My point is this; SmashBoards has done a good job at giving people a safe space to talk in and chat with. This is over the internet too, so it's safe to say that most people using the site have some sort of social anxiety. Introverted at the bare minimum.

However, it is still unhealthy to thrive off of that alone. Right now, sure. Everybody feels comfortable under the protection of the modmins that they can be themselves without being criticized by others. But as this continues, that's all they get. Support, encouragement, and empathy, over and over. And the thing is, THOSE ARE ALL GREAT ATTRIBUTES! Why leave when you can always get supported by fellow Smash Bros players (because that is why we are here in the first place).

So, we stop being dependent on this.

The reason I was so questioning to Swamp Sensei 's withdrawal and the general mood of the thread is because I have been thinking too. This post is highly controversial, I understand that, but relying on a safe-space for an extended period of time is still unhealthy in the long run. It becomes an addiction, a high. Likes are clout to some people as aforementioned, which is dangerous thinking. Sure, that last point makes it seem like I'm salty because I "don't get likes", but I have become a bit withdrawn from the site as well. Do I still support it? Hell yeah! But I'm not going to be 24/7 invested in it as I previously was, and I advise you all to step out of your comfort zones a bit and experience the real world a bit. Sure it will seem like hell to some who may have grown a reliance on SmashBoards. Sure not everybody is going to always agree with you. Sure bad people won't get banned from the World Thread. But sometimes there isn't anything else to do.

Yes, this is an opinion and I can't force anybody to do that, that would be highly unreasonable and illogical on my part if that was my goal, which it is not. SmashBoards is not a bad place to be to associate with other fans of the game and just chat about it. To answer the question, no. Not everybody. I don't give a damn about my ego, and neither should you all. I don't know what my train of thought is anymore, so I'm going to post this and here what other opinions people have. There will be people who bash this, and I want to change my mind for telling people to stop being overly sensitive.

 

[Knight Dude]

I'm gonna work a bit more on that Star Force Mega Man moveset that I did a few years ago. It'll be better than before at least. If only because I've got some gifs to help explain the moves better.

I just gotta work on the Back-Air, N-Air, Throws and Up-Tilt. I want to have a lot of references to the MMSF games, but not be a hodge podge that doesn't feel right. He'll be more rush-down oriented, since I think that fits him with the ton of melee attacks he has compared to most Mega Men(Other than MMX). But he'll still have a handful of projectiles too.

 

[Noipoi]

I was just goofin

Thanks for the legit offer though

 

[redfeatherraven]

I wouldn't brush aside anything so quickly.

I mean.

Aight?

If there's anything else deeper in I'm either uninvolved or completely unaware of it.

And knowing my memory and attention span - a talk for another day, both of those, but spoiler alert they're **** - it's more likely the latter.

Sorry. For me personally, after I get into a certain mode I am liable to lose executive function and just kinda autopilot- the closest thing I have to a vent sometimes ends up being here, which is basically like screaming my issues into cave and is a little cathartic

I uh... don’t know what that had to do with what I said though


Edit: ayyyye lmao last post on the page
Incredible

what I was trying to say is it feels super mega ultra sad here but I tried to say it as nicely as possable

To add on, it's definitely not due to people drawing away from the emotional validation this site gives them too.

While I definitely support people weaning themselves off of the validation this site gives them if it's their main source of it, I feel like there's a point being missed here.

what I was trying to say is it feels super mega ultra sad here but I tried to say it as nicely as possable

maybe there's a different reason for that

One of my previous post was the last one in the page.

Like I said before, you aren't alone man.

Not one to make long posts often, but I'm with ya. There's been a few times where I just don't visit the site for a week or so. Generally, I like keeping my personal business to myself. I don't like sharing a ton of info with other people in that regard. That's why I get weirded out when people spill their guts every so often. I try to at least cheer them up since I feel like that's the right thing to do, but I do question if leaving them alone would be better.

 

[Pyra]

idea: a site like the ones that “predict” when you’ll die, but it’s about when you inevitably leave SmashBoards

Ultomato's daily "Holy ****, why have I never shoved this song into peoples ears before!" Post

[Shroob]

I really don't sense the sadness but that's just me.


And I'm a natural born pessimist.

We don't need it, the answer for everyone is "whenever I'm no longer an admin"

 

[Knight Dude]

Speaking of music, here's a song I like.

I wish S.O.U.L Purpose got more attention. They also did "Survival" from MadWorld.

 

[Pyra]

I don’t wanna be here forever mate
I’m begging you

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Can someone tell me what happened for the last 8 hours or so?

Neat song

 

[Shroob]

Apparently lots of sadness.

 

[Ultomato]

I ate them on my way here.
I was hungry

Edit: I read "to the last 8 hours"

Eating time isn't healthy for a Sandshrew...

Leave that to me

 

[Ultomato]

Leave that to me

Are you also a Sonic Generations character now?

 

[Knight Dude]

Wait, is Robert Pattenson really supposed to play Batman?

I feel like Ben Afleck wasn't that bad, and it was Snyder's mishandling of the character. If anyone needs changing it's the director.

 

[PsySmasher]

Can someone tell me what happened for the last 8 hours or so?

Sadness and self-reflection.

That pretty much sums it up.

Afleck doesn't want to do it anymore, he wasnt fired

 

[ZephyrZ]

I almost considered making a big angsty post about my social ineptitude and uncertainty of my future, but I didn't. Consider yourselves spared.

...Jeeze I wish I knew how to talk to people in real life.

 

[Zinith]

Are you also a Sonic Generations character now?

I was close....

 

[KMDP]

Lemme slip my business card:

Memethra: Hentai Artist

Ah yes, a very fine business card.
Dost though have any examples of your craft?

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Not to be rude but this doesn't tell me anything

 

[Shroob]

Not to be rude but this doesn't tell me anything

That's literally it.

Lots of users got sad and started asking if they wanted to be here anymore.


That's all they wrote, folks.

 

[King Sonnn DeDeDoo]

Can someone tell me what happened for the last 8 hours or so?

Swamp left and said he might not come back, feeling that Smashboards is not fulfilling currently and instead feels that he should work on his personal life.

There's slightly more evidence that the Three Houses leak is real now. Thanibomb publicly named Rhea before her name was officially revealed.

 

[UtopianPoyzin]

Attention:

The most surprising good song. Is Cantaloop (Manhatten Transfer)

The song is on the quieter end, so turn it up a few notches. To truly feel the rhythm and flow, set the speed to 1.25x or 1.5x. Or listen at normal speed, that works too.

Edit: Only sinners listen at 2x speed, how dare you.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Goddamn, end of an era. Swamp was one of the first most notable users I noticed. I remember when he was a mod too

Aw yes
