For next time you log in... I hope you're doing really well my friend. We miss you 😊❤

as a fellow appreciator of the GX dub I thought I would share this classic with you

Hey check this out. These are images from my trip. Saw artifacts from the Titanic, went on a zipline, went high up in the mountains. I had a really nice time.

Yess... the ascension is insanely exhausting. I feel like I can't keep up with it. Many people seem to be absolutely addicted to the game though and while I agree it's beautiful and has wonderful characters, the gameplay requires a bit too much time/dedication to me.. ;w; Congrats on getting Eula though if you did!!

and yeah that was tough to set back D: Hopefully niji gets a little more focus, not sure if they want to keep majority of it to SIFAS or not but if so, seems like an odd choice to me. So many great card possibilities.

It doesn't seem like it's amounting to much. It's weakened to a tropical storm, unless it strengthens again. Our area is surrounded by trees and water. I'll link you a birds eye image of our area, so you can see yeah this wouldn't be a great place for hurricane/flooding. https://img.marinas.com/v2/5797f7ce63ce285947689b863f536fdf5e2e45b2df3ec0df5c3d018c91271ea3.jpg

I watched Kirby SuperStar. It was very interesting, because I didn't know the Jet would be so integral to a speedrun. I also tuned into Spyro despite never playing it, and the commentator was fantastic. It's the mark of a great commentator when you can follow a game you know nothing about. I'm going to watch Cave Story 3D. There's a donation incentive towards modern graphics vs classic graphics. What does this mean? You can revert cave story 3D to 2D? Also the commentator for Smash Brawl seemed quite nervous, and I couldn't blame him. It's amazing how some of these runners just treat this like a casual stream with 70,000 people watching.

I've never had raspberry lemonade. Unless it's the same thing as Pink Lemonade. Apparently grape juice is not supposed to be taken with many medicines, including the stuff I take for anxiety. Aw that's cool. We never really did breakfast or dinners together. Our mother just wanted to take the food somewhere else so she could watch TV. At my highschool they served breakfast in the classrooms.

I don't know anything about Konami besides the fact that they created Metal Gear, since I've played 4 of those games. I think they created CastleVania? Not sure why, but it feels like a lingering memory. Also I know the Konami code. (By memory I think it's ABABABleftrightleftrightselect, but i'll have to check). As far Final Fantasy, the first 3 games are archaic and I couldn't recommended ever playing the originals. They did get remakes on mobile which make the games more tolerable. 4-6 became way better, 7 and beyond are extremely story heavy. 13 receives lots of hatred for being a hallway simulator which a confusing story, but it was my favorite. I don't know why I keep playing the series, because the only ones I enjoyed were 6, 13, and the remake of 7. Most of the time I just find the characters unappealing.

I do appreciate the advice. My experiences have been negative much more over the positive. As a time gist, about 7 months before any of these messages I had a "final straw". I invested 3 years into trying to be a real friend to this person. One day I get back from class and see this message on my phone: "I've been lying for years. My husband enforced a 'no male friend' rule for our marriage, and I've been keeping it secretive, not saying anything to you. I wanted to make you the one exception, but he says I have to cut you off. Goodbye". So yeah 3 years just to be thrown out like garbage and forgotten in 30 seconds. I haven't even craved friendship since that happened. I'm certainly not going to feel attached with anybody again. It's better I protect myself. I trusted that person and thought of them like one of my own siblings, because I thought they were a genuine person. I was wrong. I actually tried to write this in the last two messages, but I kept deleting it. I don't hate people or anything, otherwise I wouldn't be on here having a long conversation. But that entire thing made me feel detached, like something in me died.

Also I didn't even have a chance to speak my opinion. What kind of partner tells you to remove your friends? That's not a marriage, that's a creep making it a hostage situation. Marriage is built around trust, sounds like the opposite of trust. Anyways I was immediately blocked without a voice. Even though she left me friended, I went on every single platform and removed her. I felt so disgusted.

Oh this is what happens, there's actually a very short video. (The difference was I killed Benny before meeting him, so he was already angry). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN3Ka0LuOi8

I was thinking...what's BDSP? Then I did a quick search, and oh you mean the Pokemon remakes. I heard something about Legends of Arceus having performance issues if you don't have the most recent Switch model, and I really hope not. What do you think about the starter trio? How would you feel about them trying something new for the typings in a future game? Like, maybe Dragon, Ice, Fire.

Genshin dailies... oh god don't even get me started. I got too exhausted repeating the exact same things for an hour a day and stopped logging in :< Which is a shame because I really want to love playing it like others but.. the daily grind is just too unfun. Each time I increased the level cap of my main team members I'd unlock the next level cap stage and have to do it all over again too which was really tiring.

Hello, it's okay. We might get a power outage since a hurricane may be coming through our area in the coming week. Historically whenever it comes towards Florida, it puts our state on watch.

Having a donation incentive towards nicknames sounds like a fun idea. I imagine the bidding must get pretty heavy. Are there any runs at the upcoming event your looking forward to? It's only two days away. Sponsorships are okay, but I'll admit when I watch a video it's solely for the purpose of that video subject. I have little interest in advertised products and if it's not live I'll usually skip that part of the video. I remember a reviewer doing a loud sigh before he sponsored Raid Shadow Legends, which did get a laugh out of me. I know little about Raid Shadow Legends, however I've seen it on the receiving end of so much hatred.

I can't recall trying any berry flavored foods/drinks aside from kool-aid. Juice is typically fine with me, aside from orange. I like apple and grape, but orange juice is unappealing. My favorite drink of all time is Lemonade, but my stomach hates it. I drink it anyways and just deal with feeling sick. It's too good to just give up. Even Pink Lemonade is amazing to me. Most foods have gotten more tolerable. A couple years ago I could hardly stand up if I ate pork. Soda is just completely out of the question now. Maybe like half a can of those tiny mini sodas on occasion, but it's easier to just never drink it.

What is the category for something to be labeled "indie"? Is it anything that isn't created by a major company? If someone who isn't Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, makes a game is it automatically indie? I think it's short for independent, so that's what I would assume. But I'm also curious about what makes a company official. New Vegas was created by Obsidian, published by Bethesda. I don't think Obsidian would be categorized as Indie. Hopefully this isn't a stupid question. Yeah when it comes to inspiration I think the JRPG genre is fascinating to look at. Final Fantasy practically inspired everything after it, but Final Fantasy was inspired by Dragon Quest, but took way more elements from Dungeons and Dragons. I've never played Dungeons and Dragons, only watched as a spectator. It just didn't interest me much at all.

It's hard for me to feel connected with people. I've talked with some people for years but have been too uncomfortable about sharing much about myself. When I open up and share something I like, and the person criticizes me, I shut off to that person forever. I shared a perfect test score with my uncle, who said it wasn't worth sharing because the test was dumbed down for immigrants. 4 years later and I'm still too uncomfortable to talk about myself around him. The conversations stay within sports and politics.

Oh some of the New Vegas DLC is quite interesting, it's totally worth the small investment if you do another run. Honest Hearts was lame, but the DLC "Dead Money" turns the game into survival horror. Your character gets kidnapped and has to survive an abandoned casino with these gas mask ghosts searching for you. I figured you must have disabled him. If you confront him directly and tell him you won't give him the chip or won't work for him, he sends his entire army after you. I couldn't even knock out a single one of his robots.

I haven't tried wine yet. My first question was "does it taste like sprite because it's similar in color". Apparently not, so I haven't tried it yet. And I got your add thanks. PS4 is the primary thing I play stuff on. I liked Dragon Quest 11 enough on PS4 that I bought the entire game again on Switch, so for a while that was the main thing I went back to the switch for.

Hahaha, that is honestly me. x'D I go through 6 games' dailies every day, but fortunately most of them are very quick (especially with things like skip tickets to skip battles). But games that actually require a little more focus and attention would be a lot of mental work yeah... I can really only handle games that don't take massive brain power to play consistently. Feel bad that I can't actively manual play most phone games anymore either, it's why autobattle in All Stars and D4DJ is a godsend for me. :x

That's quite amazing. Do the speedrunners pick a charity for each run, or is it a massive collective donation towards one charity? I'm actually excited to watch it this year. I guess with YouTube it would depend on the size of the channel. I've seen people with 50k-200k subs trying to make living solely from running a small channel, and while I think this would be a great side activity, it's understandable why they would struggle. Streaming seems to be a much better way to make money if that opportunity arose. It would be much harder and draining keeping a live audience entertained, but some of the donations can be insane. I think Twitch is more geared towards people trying to make a living from it.

I was making oatmeal so frequently it made me question how fast I could do it. That video was rather slow because I had a phone in one hand. It's a random question, but do you like Yogurt? I have such a love hate relationship with it. It's so disgusting, but it helps soothe my stomach and I'm supposed to eat activia brand twice per day. I guess I'm gaining more tolerance, because it doesn't make me gag as much anymore.

I haven't heard of 20XX. I did a search and it looks exactly like Mega Man. Even a review was calling it off brand Mega Man. The most successful indie game I can think of would be Undertale, which was inspired by Earthbound. Undertale is still it's own thing, and so was Earthbound. Earthbound was a risk, because it stepped away from the medieval genre JRPG's had been solely known for. It was almost expected that every JRPG would be like Final Fantasy. We are different in that regard, because I would rather visit a museum alone. I like taking my time and reading all the exhibits, and it's not fun being rushed. I also like watching movies alone because it helps my immersion.

This conversation causes me to recall a bad memory. I had this exact same topic of discussion with my best friend about how we had cut people off. That best friend had said "I will never cut you off, and I promise that". Skip a few months later, they cut me off over something really stupid. I invested too much time with that friend over the years. In the months after that, I found out I've been way happier with my own company. I've never been great at friendship anyways. Talking with people is super easy and effortless, but when it comes to the "being a friend part" I fall pretty flat and rarely put in the effort. Many things deemed fun for teenagers/young adults I find unappealing. It might make me "lame", but i'd rather be lame than be a complete conformist. As a result I probably don't have as many friends as I could. One of my siblings playfully likes calling me a hipster, and I guess it's meant endearingly. Also that's sweet of your boyfriend to treat your birthday as it's own thing. I know someone who has a birthday on December 26th and yeah they do the same thing.

My brother is only here for a short time (It's a miracle he was even here on my birthday). So I didn't have time to go searching for an SD card. It didn't matter anyways, I used a bunch of my birthday money to buy a bunch of the Dragon Quest games that were available on Switch. I already have them on other platforms, but on the Switch they look so visually pleasing. Did you play the DLC for Fallout: New Vegas? I used some of my birthday money to purchase that. I'm playing Honest Hearts right now (it's kind of lame but oh well). You must have taken a different approach for Mr. House because he sends his army of armor robots after you if you confront him directly. No idea how anybody would find that easy.

The wedding was beautiful. I cried a slight bit for my older brother, I'm rarely one to tear up in public it was just too nice. I do exactly the same thing, making jokes about how drunk I'm going to get. I did it at the wedding and hardly ended up having much to drink. I had half a bottle of lemonade mixed with low alcohol. It was gross. I ended up tossing it out and drinking actual lemonade from the pitcher.

Being honest, no we probably won't use the codes at all. But oh well, no harm in it. I have the picture of Toad. I'll probably add you in a bit.

Oh hey guess what, I had actually had my first drink. It was a wedding party, didn't plan on drinking because i didn't care much for it. But someone was like "hey try this it's really good stuff" and I chugged it like water. (Not realizing wait I'm supposed sip this, proceeded to hurt my stomach too). It didn't even effect me much. Felt pretty chilled out after.

Uh anyways I came to mention do you want to exchange switch friend codes? It's totally okay if you don't. But I should ask because I exchanged codes with people I've talked with for way less.

Yeah same, I think. It's more convenient that way. Not sure how many others feel the same, but it does lessen the grind a lot since first copies aren't very pricey at all!

I kind of want to play bandori again.. D4DJ and sif merge has really kicked me with motivation for rhythm games again lol

Games Done Quick is always for charity, correct? If so, I might throw a small donation this year. I have never donated towards a stream or on a patreon. It turns me away when a YouTuber locks content behind a patreon. I drift from channel to channel, and when I discover I can't even see the best content unless I pay, it confuses me. Wouldn't you prefer to show your absolute best content for free as a way to keep viewers attention? Or maybe I'm getting it wrong, and these YouTubers are trying to say "If you want more of me, you can get more through optional payment". I might be going on a tangent, if it seems like it I apologize.

It's okay. You've likely been one of the only people I've ever bought this up with. I mean I even try to see humor out of it and make stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F7xdmZxkDk to share around my small circle.

I hadn't really thought of it that way, but yeah I guess Metroid was the pioneer. There likely wouldn't be things like Cave Story if Metroid hadn't been made way back then. Then again it makes me wonder if Metroid was really the pioneer, because who knows. There might have been some awkward obscure atari game that the creators of Metroid took inspiration from. Donkey Kong seems like it was inspired by Space Panic. And it's okay, I do silly things with my alarms sometimes. I set them at random intervals through the night. Thanks! I'm actually pretty restless about my birthday right now. Not restless in a bad way, it's just excitement. I know it'll be a good day.

I'm glad you had fun on the museum trip. I was about to ask which kind, but then saw the mention about maritime. We live near a bunch of museums and it's something I enjoy. Even though my dad is no longer with us, I still went to breakfast with my other family members, it was fun too.

I see. I've cut people off due to anxiety related purposes. I've had moments of thinking that my presence isn't wanted, and that by removing myself from the other person it's better that way. It's followed by peace of mind and sometimes a semblance of regret.

So on another note, my older brother was going to get me the 3DS version of Dragon Quest 8. Sadly, my 2DS only has a storage of 18,000 blocks and Dragon Quest 8 is 28,000. He got me the new Pokemon Snap game instead and I'm greatly enjoying it. There's a mobile version of Dragon Quest 8, but they removed voice acting which is no fun. Never cared much about gifts or getting money anyways. I mean I don't complain, but whenever I receive a "happy birthday" i just feel immensely happy from that alone. I don't really except people to remember so i always feel a little flustered. Oh and I actually made progress in new vegas, the farthest I've ever gotten. I'm running independent and I'm going to end up saving every tribe. I tried to kill mr house and failed miserably. Same with ceaser. I marched in thinking "this is going to be an easy assassination" and they tore me to shreds.

Hi Setsuna! Haven't seen you in The Last One to Post Wins thread in a long time (since that's the thread I spend most of my time in :P) . Hope you're doing good! :D

Hope it will be yeah! The sticker shop should really just be updated with all the missed SRs/URs from events that global players may've missed, I hope they'll have some sense to do that sometime soon. Even event reruns would be okay, JP can handle some repeats. ;_; Or we can have two going at once even, one new and one repeat for WW, as tough as that would be... it would be more annoying to miss it forever.

I spent a little bit of money on the guaranteed UR packs (choose your girl) since they were only $3.99 per. Got 4, and 3/4 were dupes... lol gacha life

Our trip is delayed until the end of July, so I might watch some of it. 100% for Majora's Mask interests me. But it's also no source. I didn't know about a 3D cave story until I looked at this list. It doesn't look charming. I would still try it.

I changed my mind. I'm collecting everything in Mega Man 7. Right now I have the Rush Jet and almost all letters. As a side note, even if I wanted, I can't just binge eat and put on weight. I have a stomach disease. It would make me sick. Primarily I almost only eat oatmeal. This year I've been able to start eating other foods again. I had pizza for dinner.

I see. You mean you feel driven through gameplay instead of narrative and I understand. My push comes from constant dialogue. New Vegas is perfect because there's a constant stream of dialogue. I still understand what you meant through my experience playing cave story. It was fun playing with the upgrades.

I recalled this conversation when they showed Metroid. I'm happy for fans of the series. I did watch the presentation, I am excited for the Mario Part 1-3 mix, wario, and the zelda game&watch. My mother loves older zelda, so it would be a nice birthday gift for her. My own birthday is next wednesday.

It's nice that you've been well. Hope things continue going smoothly. There's also father's day coming up. Do you have anything nice planned? It's always fun to try new games, especially socially.

Lately I really started missing an old friend. for some reason this feeling came out of nowhere. https://www.pokecommunity.com/converse.php?u=683473&u2=694894. I feel he'll probably never log on again (judging by the date of these conversations). I started thinking about it recently though. Have you gone through this feeling at all? If it's okay to ask.
