Setsuna

Nah as long as I know people mean me, I do not care how it is pronounced, so was the case with my previous usernames too :P

The way I pronounced it in the thread was how I always felt like it was pronounced, though in the Arc-V anime they pronouned it like Syuun, but in youtube videos about the lad its Shun.

dammit PC stop 404'ing this convo

thats all you need to get to like The Chazz

LOOK i just remembered cause I watched GX and it had a lot of Chazz ok you do not deny the Chazz </3

it is time to chazz it up

not chazzing it up will result in banishment from posting in Forum Games

noice new flair! gonna take a bit to get used to all the green, but Shioriko looks dope!

We have an Alexa AI in our house. Basically it's an amazon communication device that can converse with you, play music, make shopping lists, set reminders, etc. Took some getting use to, and for some reason I was being over imaginative, and kept thinking "What if this just started talking in the middle of the night"? (Because there's stories of it doing stuff like that). Then I realized...meh it's just an A.I, whatever. I'll eventually start playing a lot more, but puzzles tend to wear me out, which is why I've been playing in chunks. I also ordered a multicart (A DS cart which has 250 games preloaded).

I finished the arena with Plasma. You were right about it tiring out your thumbs. No idea how you did it with fighter. Seems you have to get super close range, and that just doesn't work for me. I couldn't even beat 1 boss with fighter. You said you did it with everyone? (Sorry if i'm not remembering correctly). Because I have no idea how you would pull it off with stuff like wheelie and jet. Also I forgot about the waddle dee boss. I thought that was just a superstar ultra thing (because of revenge of the king). But nope, it was in this too. Also Superstar Ultra is on the multicart, can't wait to play it again.

No it's okay, you didn't spoil it. I only watched the part I was stuck on. When it got into the blind section of the level, I turned it off to avoid spoilers. So nope, nothing to feel bad about.

$60 doesn't sound too bad. I'll admit, I purchase every single DLC character that comes out on Smash Ultimate. Usually they run at about $5 each and there's been quite a lot. (Especially when they added the Dragon Quest 11 protagonist as a DLC character, such a happy day). And I get wanting to spend money for support. Again, not something I typically do, but I'm considering throwing a dollar towards a podcast I've listened to for a few years. Also considered throwing a dollar towards pokecommunity. Is it the only idol game you play, or are there multiple? Mobile games sound like such a good way to stay occupied. Crazy to think I haven't touched my phone in like a month. At first it was just charging issues...but now I'm happy that I'm not constantly looking at social media, checking for notifications, etc. Did you ever get back to the side quests on xenoblade? I think you mentioned getting tired of them. I actually started playing Super Mario Bros Deluxe for Switch. I...don't actually enjoy these games. No idea why, but i'm iffy towards most of the 2D mario platformers. Like, I'm just not enjoying them as much as I should.

I wonder if it's weird to say, but maybe it's a more common interest online? Maybe like character you described, people feel more comfortable opening about it online. (Like how she was comfortable opening up in front of her friend group). But yeah I'll check out Attack on Titans. Maybe it could really pull me into something I greatly enjoy. I know people compile filler lists for shows, and that includes pokemon. But I don't like doing that. If I'm going to watch a show I'd rather see everything. I guess pokemon could be compared to a comfort food. If you want to de-stress with something familiar, you know what your getting.

What's going on with Kongregate is the most bizarre thing. Basically with Flash dying, you would think they would be doing everything else to keep fans happy, right? Nope. When flash died, they ripped out all the social features on the website. So the chatrooms are gone, and 95% of the forums are gone. (Just the technical support stuff stayed, mostly). It feels like a self sabotage. Like whoever owns the website just doesn't want it anymore. They also blocked new games from being uploaded.

Oh. uh your actually the first person who's ever called me out on this. Basically I dropped it vaguely on purpose, setting it up so you would ask "Why do you think that"?. It's just a random way to gauge if the conversation is still interesting. If you don't respond with "Why"? I just assume it's not an interesting topic. Sorry. I've been doing it for years, if you find it a bit annoying I won't do it anymore.

But to answer the question, I still prefer Mario Party at balanced pace. Meaning I don't want "Ultra Speed" mario party. Like, I still want to see what everybody is doing. However, I don't want "sluggish" either. I already think the N64 games have a nice middle ground. If you play the Gamecube and Wii games after the N64 games, you might notice the pace did slow pretty heavily. Might also be because more events are placed around the boards, hence making turns take longer.

I was playing this at 3:00 AM last night. http://andkon.com/arcade/adventureaction/turnbasedbattle/. If you ever want to kill a few minutes this is probably the greatest link ever. (It's literally a full JRPG story condensed into 10 minutes). Nope. the caps lock button is replaced with...a button that brings up google assistant. I'd rather have the caps lock button. If It's logic I could probably manage, but when it comes to any sort of calculations or number values, I just can't do it. On another note I got back to cave story. I'm in bush world (I think that's what it's called). I'm dying, like a lot.

I had a change of heart about Milky Way Wishes. I actually loved my current run, even though I didn't find all the power ups. Marx was surprisingly way easier than I remember. Probably because I'm thinking of his true arena form. Speaking of that, I don't want to be cheap and just use the hammer for the arena. So I'm trying with different abilities. I only defeated 3 bosses with Beam Kirby. With Mage Kirby I made it all the way to 16. Mage Kirby has an amazing block, the computer virus actually can't damage you at all. Sadly some of the bosses kept depleting all my health. (Heavy Lobster, Dyna Blade, The Cannon, Wham Bam Rock). are the big 4 that give me trouble. Dyna Blade sounds silly, but my play-style heavily relies on blocking instead of dodging and learning patterns. She goes through block and just destroys me.

I'll probably get all the letters. Anything to make things easier. Honestly I think these games are challenging enough, so I can't image wanting to seek a challenge out. But yeah the clip made more of a difference than you could imagine, because basically I went through the entire thing on my first try without losing a life. (Then I almost lost all my lives on the boss fight).

How do you feel about spending money towards the game? Everybody has a different stance towards this. From what it sounds like, the game provides enough that you don't need to purchase micro transactions. I'm typically avoidant since micro transactions can get rather pricey. (like seriously more pricey than actual video game DLC). I find it amusing when a game has $99 dollar deluxe edition. Like yeah you get some cool features, and you get all the DLC. But...that feels like so much for a single game. Oh, did you use the expert mode for xenoblade? I completely ignored it. I assumed it was a harder difficulty before I figured out it just levels you down.

Covid makes everything feel like forever ago. But I believe the area 51 thing was only in September 2019. It's ironic to think about, there was talk about a large gathering at area 51. Then about 5 months later large gatherings would be completely prohibited. Oh thanks for sharing. I can't recall really knowing anybody into anime, your probably the first person. (besides sheep, i think). But yeah glad I tried out the show you liked, trying to be more open minded towards things. Lots of people seem to like attack on titans. I'm not even sure if that's an anime or a live action show. But I'm sort of interested in it now. It's a shame. I really liked the characters. (Cynthia, Paul, and Dawn). But I just couldn't take anymore. It was like I was started to watch the same episode over and over. I almost never outright give things up like that, but I'll probably never go back.

Last night was odd. I was tired around 8:00 PM, until I actually laid down and wasn't tired at all. (Also forgot to take medication for anxiety, so I was fretting about ridiculous things). Next thing I knew, it was 2:30 AM...I didn't even try to sleep anymore. I was just like "I'll play some flash games or something". Made me realize, wow some websites are really fairing better than others. Andkon stopped updates in 2012 but has found an easy work around. Meanwhile Armor Games is trying, and kongregate is completely falling.

Oh. Mario Party 3 has a speed up option. The only one in the series. What I'm about to say is really ironic, but I don't like using it.

the GOAT

Aw. So i was having a blast playing this is the only level (bearing with a bit of lag). Unfortunately, it looks like there's a part towards the end that requires you hitting the caps lock button. Chomebook doesn't have that, so that was the end of my run. 32 deaths and about 4 minutes and 30 seconds. It's not bad considering I had forgotten all the puzzles. 25 of those deaths were because of the heavy wind level. I never tried coding. I'm not good at math, so not sure if it's something I would want to try.

Ok thanks. I was aware of the door to the left, but it led to a mine-cart. I thought the mine carts just led you to earlier sections of the cave, so I was ignoring it. And actually that's kind of weird design. I can't imagine how the true arena must have went for you with the parasol...because isn't that one of the weaker abilities? Right now i'm on milky way wishes. Not my favorite section of the game. (at-least not at the start, because your just normal kirby). I've been trying some of the mini games, but i'll never beat meta knight in the sword duel. i simply don't have the reaction speed. I almost always get 14. Even on beginner he always draws at 11.

But yeah thanks, super happy to finally be done with that level. It was even more intense because it was my last life and I didn't want to do that level again. You can tell I was nervous because my charged shots started going right over his head. Also on my previous attempt I had an energy tank, and still lost. I noticed there's collectibles that spell mega man, not sure if that's worth collecting? if it's just for points or something I probably don't care. Not sure who I'll go after next. Maybe Gravity Man I guess. Your advice helped, because when I was quicker at pulling out the star crash, i had no problems with the falling crystals.

Oh okay, then it's nice if you enjoy the music. How much do you actually get skip tickets? Actually what you described is the reason I was turned off from Candy Crush. You had stamina and couldn't play as much as you wanted. As soon as I realized it wanted me to pay to play more, my interest went out. At least what your playing sounds like it has quality of life features. You didn't mention finishing xenoblade, but that's really cool. (I still need to finish myself, but ugh the ice mountain). Did you enjoy the remake as much as your original playthrough? I never played the wii version. I've been waiting for earthbound on the service, and I'm completely disappointed that since from being on a virtual console, to being completely ignored for over a year. If I wasn't playing animal crossing with my sister, I would probably quit the service now.

I never watched those shows either (naruto, dragonballz). Not sure if I"m really missing anything. The only thing I know is that naruto has a headband and has a catchphrase? And his running became a meme. There was a huge joke about invading Area 51 (the U.S military base that's been rumored to keep aliens). and doing a Naruto run into it. People showed up, the guards bought snacks out. It actually ended up being pretty wholesome. There were about 6 arrests though, from people who weren't behaving. If you don't mind me asking, what got you into anime? Since you mentioned not thinking you would be a fan when you were young. Forgot if I mentioned it, but I tried to watch the diamond/pearl anime last year. It was the most repetitive thing after. As funny as team rocket is, I couldn't stand to see them after 60 episodes in a row. Which is a shame, because I loved Paul as an antagonist. Possibly one of my favorites ever.

That's pretty much the same thing I've been doing. I'm often just on youtube until 2:00 AM, sometimes i'll get up and make pancakes or oatmeal (or some random breakfast food). I find it physically impossible to fall asleep early now. Which is the opposite of how I've been. When I was dealing with anxiety, I would sleep at 8:00 PM as a form of escapism. Guess now that i'm doing better, i have to make up for it somehow. 50 turns is too long, however I enjoy Mario Party 2 so much the turns seem to just fly by. Mario Party 8 makes me feel like I'm falling asleep. I don't mean to diss the game, because there are positives (like being able to play as toad).

This was insane. Probably the most ridiculous clip i'll ever have.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMbWc3rk2X8

Aw, just the name "bubbles tanks" invokes strong feelings. I absolutely loved that series. I finished Bubble Tanks 1, Bubble Tanks 2, and Bubble Tanks Arena (Which was my favorite). Sadly I fell out of the series by Bubble Tanks 3. I also played This is the Only Level. (and I took a pause from this message to play it. my computer is seriously lagging on this game, which is sad). I remember being inspired by these creative flash games and trying to make my own, but it was a complete mess. It ended up getting memed. Which...as a 12 year old I didn't mind. Honestly I was just thrilled people were playing it. Cave Story is fun but I'm not super far into yet. Just finished the Egg Corridor. I ended up playing kirby superstar more.

Speaking of that, I'm actually stuck in the great cave. Which you might think, how does anybody get stuck in a kirby game. But there's a section involving a giant castle, which just seems to loop in circles. I even tried taking the hammer ability, going all the way back to the beginning, hitting the switch. All it did was give me treasure. I guess I'm going in the right direction because I ran into that chamelon thing. I never even worried about time in the true arena. I think as "brick kirby" it took about 2 hours, because I was staying in the brick forever until I found a completely safe opportunity. From what I understand, other kirby games don't let you stay in it forever. Also your right about plasma, i actually picked up the ability today and it reminds me of the mega buster. There was also an ice ability in Super Mario Bros Wii, but I never found it useful.

Thanks so much for the clip. So the first things I noted...I have no idea what happened at 00:24. It looks like you hit two enemies at once. I guess you only have to hit the head and it removes the entire enemy? Also for some reason...i'm not sure if I remembered you can charge the mega buster while the screen is transitioning. You definitely use it more than I do. I would say 90% of the time I still mash the pellet shooter. I was hoping there would be a quick way to kill those skeleton enemies, but it looks like you do it the same way as me. I actually gave up with Star Crash, because I was tired of dying and running out on my second life. However I'll give it a retry now.

You mention the same song, does it ever feel repetitive? Not sure how much focus the games require, like if they don't require much focus I'm sure you could just do something in the background. Unrelated, but do you think the price of the Nintendo Switch online service is worth it? I know you said your just in a group payment thing, but i'm curious if you would still do it otherwise. Because at one point I considered dropping it. The only reason I keep it is because I play animal crossing with my sister long distance. (and it's just $3.99 for my profile).

Yeah now I realize what I said was highly ignorant. What you said makes sense and I was condensing anime as something "less" broad. Sort of like Marvel, which has lots of movies but some end up formulaic. In a way...some western cartoons follow a formula. Characters try to achieve something, get into trouble, have to stop the bad thing that happened. Are there any similarities that many anime share? Maybe that's what I'm looking for.

It's okay, I appreciate the honesty. It's an odd feeling I could never accurately describe. I feel like trying to go to sleep early ends up with me laying awake...then I just end up wanting to stay up more. Also what do you set the turns to in Mario Party when you play? I feel like going lower would remove the tedium. However he won't go lower than 50. ever.

So just wondering, which flash games did you grow up with? I'm curious since I'm familiar with quite a bit of them. Oh I looked up Shantae, I'm surprised with how old the series is. It came out for GameBoy Color in 2002, but for some reason I had never heard about it until a couple years ago. By the way, Cave Story is a nice game and I'm glad you recommended it to me. Not sure I could get into Terraria. I'm not a big fan of sandbox games anymore, even though one of my favorite childhood games was a flash game sandbox thing.

Oh speaking of Kirby, I picked up Kirby SuperStar again over the last few days. (picked up again...started over). The SNES version is quite a downgrade, as it's missing some of my favorite modes. (True Arena, Helper to Hero). I'm not even sure if this has a normal arena. But I adored SuperStar Ultra, and this game is still so great to be playing. Did you have any favorite abilities? Because I remember the hammer being incredibly powerful, and it was the easiest way to clear the true arena. For some reason, I picked the game up again and I don't see why I thought this thing was powerful. (I love the cutter ability though). Also, I played Mega Man so much, playing Kirby SuperStar feels incredibly relaxing in comparison. But I guess that's the purpose of Kirby games. I also found out we have a copy of Kirby's Epic Yarn, but I never played it. I remember hearing you couldn't even die, and I thought "What's the point". But it looks cute and I'll probably give it a chance later.

I believe you mentioned not owning a Wii U, but nothing about not enjoying using your brothers. It's fair. Personally I'd always prefer using my own stuff. I still haven't beaten crystal man which is pretty sad, but i'll pull it off eventually. If you can send a clip if you feel like it. If not it's okay too. Also if you want to elaborate, what do you mean by grinding events? Because it reminds me so much of the card game I talked about. Me and another student would play it obsessively. When they had an event we would try to get on the leader boards non stop. Sometimes we would find a secluded spot in the school during class hours and play for about 20 minutes. Sadly our teachers were attentive about this, so it didn't last long. Speaking of picking stuff up...i really should finish new vegas.

Yes you did share the clip of her. But it surprises me that she isn't your favorite character. (maybe a bit hypocritical, not like whismicott is my favorite pokemon). If you ever have any other clips, I actually don't mind watching...as long as they aren't like super lengthy. I always dread clicking a link and finding out it's like 50 minutes long. Also yeah I'm aware people loved to throw the word anime around. But...isn't a lot of media inspired by anime? Like I just assumed the plot of xenoblade resembled the plot structure of an anime. Maybe that's ignorant, because honestly I still don't know much. I always hear fire emblem getting compared to anime.

He's doing okay, thanks. Is it just me or do you ever get a 'strange' feeling when you haven't slept? I'm not sure how to describe it. Can't really say "hungover". as i'm still not old enough to legally have such stuff. But it's like an odd mixture of fatigue and restlessness. Speaking of that, you also mentioned taking an earlier sleep schedule. Did it ever work out? I don't find it easy changing my sleeping times willingly, though I'm sure some of that ability. Either way it's nice writing to you again, and it's very relatable about what you mentioned. When the 'head' of a company retires or passes away, it makes you wonder how things are going to change. The tragic thing about spongebob, is that the original creator was in the midst of his comeback, but he passed shortly after. I'm guessing RWBY stands for Red White Blue Yellow? It's the first thing I thought of, though it's probably incorrect.

Oh...and about mario party 8. Yeah the pace of these games is a deal breaker for me. Mario Party 5 is a good game, but it's notoriously the slowest and it feels like the game is on 'slow mo' sometimes. Did you have a favorite board from 7? Oddly enough I have a preference for the more basic boards, so I liked the blooper one. And the mountain peak level.
