Finally unlocked the Carbon Fiber skin for Genji via loot box. Easily one of my favorite skins in the game. I'm not even that good with Genji but the first game with Carbon Fiber I went 17-2 so it's a sign I guess? lol

Everybody uses that skin meanwhile I'm just here happy with my Chrome skin lol

Also shout-outs to wedl!! for the support work and following me around with Mercy when I was playing Genji even when I rushed in to Dragonblade some people.

I only got one kill at that point but I at least got out of it alive.

this stuff is why i ship mercy with genji

Anyone down for some matches?

I wanna improve on my Lucina and maybe Bayonetta. And I wanna find some good enough matches that can be used for the Powerpuff Gorls montage.

Here's an example of a banner that I whipped up really quickly:

Spoiler: large image

Things to note:

• Final product should look better than this because I literally spent like 5 minutes making this
• Obviously, dimensions will have to be discussed because this banner is gigantic
• I did find an album on imgur that has high res renders of all of the palette swaps, so I'll make the banners with each person's preferred palette(s). However, each person will have to be limited to how many characters they can have in their banner (I'd say 2 should probs be the max).
• ASIDE FROM MEWTWO AND RYU, THE ALBUM DOES NOT HAVE PALETTE SWAP RENDERS FOR DLC CHARACTERS. If you main a dlc character and can find a render for your favorite palette swap, link me to the image and I'll use it. Otherwise, you'll just have to make due with their default render.
• I can personalize each banner a little bit. Font, font color, etc. will all be chosen by each person. I probably went overboard on this one tbh, so the others probs shouldn't be as busy as this one is.

I don't think there's anything else to mention. I probably won't start working on each person's until all of the clips are submitted to Phil. Once I start making them, they'll take time and I have a job and stuff, so please be patient.

Phil and I will have to figure out the exact details at a later date.

Phil, is there anything else to say?

edit: found a different album that has assorted dlc palette renders. if you're a dlc main, tell me which palette(s) you want and I'll see if the album has it/them.

Looks good! The banner does look pretty big though haha. I'll also note that I used 500x280 dimensions last time, because they fit onto iMovie perfectly. But using the same dimensions on a similar scale (ie 750x420) should be fine too

 

[ぱみゅ]

Can I submit a not Smash 4 video?
The only videos I find on youtube where it looks like I know what I am doing are from Brawl

Otherwise I'd have to go people's houses ask them to let me check their replays and ask them to send them....
AND THEN they might not get approved.

[atticusfinch7]

I've been thinking of writing a creepypasta (I'm a decent writer and I have experience reading the good ones), but I'm unsure how I would make the "climax" of the story. I could definitely set up the atmosphere and mood, but a climax in text just seems tricky.

 

[ElderLolz]

I'm glad you gorls like my video

Also I see there's a collaborative montage going on. Where should I post to submit?

Mighty No.9 made me sad so I decided to replay Plague of Shadows tonight.

It's a nice reminder that while $4 million can produce a pile of garbage, tens of thousands can produce a masterpiece.

Nice! It's probably one of my favorite skins too, blue-on-black is such a good color combo. I'm also really fond of Zenyatta's Ascendant and Sunyatta skins.

this stuff is why i ship mercy with genji

ew

genji probably appreciates mercy support more than anyone else though, damage amp is godlike with his high burst/low DPS. Being able to burst 200 HP characters in a single M1+dash+M2 or kill with even one less laggy swing of Dragonblade makes that +30% damage turn into +400% kill speed.

 

[Lil Puddin]

Gorls, I finally got my Internet/Desktop successfully set up in my apartment. I also have my own copy of Overwatch, so no more bumming off my friend's/friend's computer. My friend had a hardcore computer so I can't copy her settings. I dunno how to configure the settings for the best FPS and prettiness. Can one of you computer sassy savy gorls help me out? My computer is made of cheap but good stuff... I think? I'll list the probably-maybe-relevant specs.

Windows 10 OS - 64 bit
8GB RAM (one chip if that matters)
27" 1080p monitor
Nvida GTX 750 ti
AMD FX 6300 (6 core/3.5ghz)

On the plus side my ping has always been pretty good for games like DFO. So I think if I get the FPS to be at least a solid 60 I'll be good. Uuuuuuum considering that's all this display can utilize. Whoops I'm too cheap to be a pro

 

[Cress!]

Yep, I'm convinced BOTW is a Wind Waker prequel.

Let's get the easy stuff out of the way first (there are Wind Waker spoilers).

Spoiler: Similarities between WW and BOTW

-Cell-shaded artstyle
-Both wear a blue tunic with white designs, also hatless
-Koroks are in both games
-Both games allow you to collect materials from monsters
-Both games won't let you access areas that are too hot/cold unless you do something specific
-Both games are the only games in the series that let you use weapons normally carried by enemies
-Both games have 2 guides, a "mysterious voice" (in WW it was King Daphnes through the Pirate's Charm) and an old man that's actively there to guide and sometimes give Link items (also the King in Wind Waker but this is more of his boat form. It's not as concrete as BOTW but let me try to connect them if I want to.)
-Both games have optional bosses in the overworld (the Big Octos in WW, and Steppe Talus in BOTW.)
-THE OLD MAN SURE LOOKS A LOT LIKE KING DAPHNES JUST SAYIN

Now for the interesting part, connecting these to the timeline.

Spoiler: Yee speculation

Well, this Hyrule is the one underneath the sea in Wind Waker (also the one seen in Ocarina of Time). Koroks and potentially King Daphnes are there. The Temple of Time is there, but ruined after however many hundreds of years.

"But Ganon is sealed away after OoT, and isn't released until right before WW!" Yes Ganon does return, but not normally. He's the fog around Hyrule Castle. Say hi, he's been going through some hard times.

So even though Ganon wasn't actually released, part of his dark power or w.e. is getting through the sages' weakened barrier. So possibly the final boss isn't Ganon, but whoever is trying to free him?

"But Hyrule is flooded before Wind Waker, how could it be the same?" Well, time to brush up on some history. Take out your textbooks, because teacher Zelda is here to give you some Hyrule Historia.

(Never thought this would be used with any actual context) The Great Flood happened hundreds of years before Wind Waker. Hundreds. BOTW Link was asleep for 100 years. The game could have taken place multiple times between OoT and WW. It may have even been thousands of years between OoT and WW, since the legend of OoT Link is a, well, legend, and they messed up a few of their facts. (Boys put on the hero's clothes at 12?? OoT Link was younger than that before the Master Sword's insta-puberty-skip time warp happened, 10 iirc.)

Now to link their similar fashion. This was my big "aha!" moment today. Here's a quick side-to-side look.

The blue is almost the same (going to blame lighting differences and the fact that 1 is a game model and the other is artwork). No hat. White designs on their tunic. Hm... I'm going to remind people of Wind Waker's second quest, where he was given the "Hero's New Clothes" that were just invisible and worn over his pajamas. I thought this was a reference to "you beat the game, so you're the new hero so these are the clothes the hero should wear now" but what if BOTW Link is the New Hero they used this design with? They weren't exactly spot-on with OoT Link, so they were probably a bit off with this outfit as well, hence the different design and orange pants. Also if OoT Link was the old hero and BOTW Link is the new hero then, yep, that puts BOTW right between OoT and Wind Waker yet again!

Finally the Koroks. Well let's just do a quick check on what the Koroks are.

The Koroks are said to have once been the race of humanoid children-looking creatures called Kokiri. The Koroks became these creatures when they gave up their human selves for the ability to fly, with the help of an item called a Deku Leaf.

So after OoT, they got tired of standing in 1 place in a forest for all eternity like any other NPC so they tried flying and it worked out. Cool. So they probably changed while Link was sleeping for those 100 years. What's strange is how they look almost identical to the Koroks in WW, just like the old man looks like King Daphnes.

(There's 3 other koroks shown in BOTW and they also have twins in WW, I'm just showing this 1). Same leaf shape, same body shape, same color, EVEN THE EYE AND MOUTH PATTERN ON THE LEAF ARE THE SAME.

And after all of that typing, there's 1 other option that wasted this 90 minutes of typing and searching pictures and finding that 1 gif deep in some random folder (I COULDN'T RESIST USING IT).

Spoiler: Because it's Zelda...

BOTW could be A FOURTH TIMELINE branch from OoT.

Many generations after the departure of the Hero of Time, the seal of the Seven Sages began to weaken for an unknown reason, and Ganondorf managed to escape his imprisonment. Ganondorf intended to make good on his threat to the Hero of Time and the Seven Sages that he would escape one day to make their descendants pay for his imprisonment. As the darkness was covering the land, the people of Hyrule prayed that the Hero of Time would once again come to save them, but the hero did not appear.

So what if this event is the split, where 1 timeline is where Link wakes up from his 100 year nap and save Hyrule (BOTW), and the other one is if Link decided to hit snooze on his alarm for another century or 2 (WW). Both games are extremely similar so they could've happened at the same time. The similar clothing could also be coincidence.

OK I'm done now.

 

[EODM07]

Morning girls. How's everyone doing?

Looking through some replays I had with Nammy12 to see which one or two would be best for the Collab. If I can't find any, I may send some replays to either Berserker. or SBphiloz4 to help me choose. :V
And I'll be writing up a reflection for my Uni work for my Development of my Board Game.

That's a big theory considering it's just a game. You could practically start a channel on that

 

[Rickster]

I'm hoping Breath of the Wild takes place in the downfall timeline after OoT. That branch is pretty unexplored and underdeveloped since it's comprised of all the older games that had weaker narratives. I really really don't want it to be post Spirit Tracks. Going back to the "old" Hyrule would make WW's theme of "letting go of the past" completely irrelevant. Besides, the Master Sword and Ganondorf are hardly mentioned in the later parts of the Adult Timeline. They got left behind.

Why I think it's the Downfall timeline (potential BotW spoilers):

Spoiler

• Shrine of Resurrection, and the "you are the light that must shine upon Hyrule once again" quote. Heavily implies it's a Link that's done something before. OoT link could be getting revived or whatever.
• The voice (95% sure it's Zelda) also says "try to remember" in a cutscene. Like...that has to mean it's a Link we've seen before, especially when you combine it with the previous bullet point.
• Ganondorf being in a demonic form. The demon Ganon makes many appearances in the downfall games, but in the other timelines, it's just Ganondorf in his human form.
  
• In the downfall timeline, Ganon (remember, he transforms in the final fight) gets sealed by the sages as a last resort since Link failed. He's currently sealed inside the castle in BotW.
• The downfall games feature Hyrule in a declining state more than any other timeline. It's been stated that Hyrule is in decline in BotW.
• The Master Sword being in bad shape. I don't think this is just from the passage of time. Previous games have always had the sword in pristine condition, it just had to be "repowered". This one is rusted and even chipped. It gives off the impression that it was damaged or that an attempt was made to destroy it.
• The old man mentions at one point that the Sheikah are a lost tribe that has saved Hyrule countless times. What I get from this is that they played a role in sealing Ganon away after Link failed. The new Guardians also appear to be Sheikah tech, so maybe they made those to help fight Ganon and his army?
• 15:15 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H59M89AKefs
  "Hero of Time! Where are you going?" followed shortly by a quiet "Oops...". The fact that she says "oops" immediately after makes me think that that was plot information we weren't supposed to know.

There are probably a million holes in this post, lol. A better place to go for detailed Zelda timeline stuff would be the Zelda Reddit. There are like a hundred threads for this.
