Setsuna

its never extreme, its just funny that it happens so often :'D

pure balloney, you just have an alarm rinkling when i post >.>

I believe robot wants kitty became a free mobile game, even though it was a flash game. I doubt it would take you more than an hour or two, especially since your familiar with metroidvania stuff. There was also a sequel called robot wants puppy, but I don't think it ever transitioned into a mobile game. Robot wants fishy I think was the finale, never played that one though. It wouldn't be easy now that flash is down. I didn't even know shantae was a metroidvania. I thought it was just a standard puzzle game. Terraria is free on the ps now service, so i could play that anytime. It looks like minecraft.

Oh okay that figures. If you didn't two copies I'm pretty sure you could only play spring breeze too. Also you probably know this, but in the King Dedede fight you could see Mario and Luigi in the audience. I always liked inhaling the two enemies on the right before challenging him, because it would give you a completely randomized ability. Nope, I played 7 quite a bit and liked it a lot. Every staged seemed themed around a part of the world too, which made me find it endearing. Windmillville was my favorite stage on Mario Party 7 too. King Boo's Stage on Mario Party 8 felt repetitive quickly. I don't mind straight line stages, in fact I love Mario Party: Island Tour. That game is pretty much all straight line boards. Mario Party 8 might be okay to me if it had better mini games. Also I didn't like the music in Mario Party 8, which is a big deal when your playing for two-three hours.

How much of Mario 3D world did you play? I never played enough to unlock champion's road. I think as far as Mario games go, I liked Mario Brothers: Wii and the DS game. Well I was also playing Crystal Man's stage last night and couldn't beat it. The difficulty feels insane for me. I feel like I'm getting far and not reaching a check point. Then I have to purposefully game over because I'm out of the star mans power.

My mistake, yeah I thought you were referring to a game. Probably because someone posted about a love live game event in off-topic and I automatically mixed it up in my head. I try to start two shows at once, but the problem is I always prefer one over the other. Like I was watching Breaking Bad and Legend of Korra. I preferred breaking bad much more and ignored the later. Then I started watching Better Call Saul and the Marvel Movies, and never touched better call saul after that. I didn't get any video games as a present, but I received a ton of gift cards. A $100 visa gift card, a $50 amazon shopping card, a $25 gamestop card. So if I wanted a game it's not hard right now to purchase it. That's how I purchased Cave Story.

Yep that's what I remember you mentioning. Are there other characters on the show you like or is setsuna your absolute favorite? if/when I go back to that, I really need to watch season 1 instead. I was completely lost and felt like there were so many characters I was trying to learn the names of. The style of the show is vastly different from what I'm accustomed to seeing. Oddly...isn't xenoblade a bit "animeish"? I'm not sure but I feel like I've heard it called an "anime" game.

Thats good your managing well enough. I almost never get sick, aside from maybe a common cold. Also not sure how to include this into the message aside from bluntly, but someone in my family overdosed this morning. I still wanted to reply properly, though i'm in a very low mood. Hopefully this reply isn't coming off as half hearted.

If you ever watch spongebob, the first 3 seasons are an amazing comedy show. Then the original writer left, and it went into a decline. They made the characters into stereotypes. Like...patrick's only personality trait is "dumb" now. Squidwards only personality trait is "grouchy". They took the quirks from the characters and made them into extremes.

STOP
STEALING

this was a PSA

I wasn't aware I was leveling down from getting hit. I guess it means I need to start playing more carefully. But yeah maybe I was getting carried away with the similarities. I'm not sure which category undertale fits in. It seems sort of inspired by JRPG's, but clearly the level system is like a twist on it. I loved a flash game as a kid called "Robot Wants Kitty" and it just occurred to me that game was a metroidvania. (albeit a really small one). I need to try more indie games. Maybe shovel knight or something.

Oh I thought it was going to be some sort of easter egg, like you stand there for a while and meta knight starts the fight anyways. You just reminded me how much fun the helper system was. If you played multiplayer, one person would play kirby and the other controlled the partner. But it was mediocre because you had to both look at the same DS screen. I don't remember too much about the Meta Knight mode, but yeah I do remember if you saved points you could pull off a really sick looking tornado move. Also at the end you had to fight the galactic knight. Then in the true arena it was quite interesting, because you ended up fighting galactic knight, except you did it as kirby instead of meta-knight. Mario Party 5 and 8 are the slowest paced, but I just find 8 so tedious. (might be because we always do 50 turns). The mini games and boards feel boring, with the exception of koopa's tycoon town.

What your mentioning reminds me of Mario 3D World. All the characters played differently. (Peach could float, Luigi was slippery, Toad was "hard mode", Mario was standard). I played toad out of sheer bias, and it was no wonder I was finding everything more difficult. Nonetheless, i'm going back to mega man 5 today. Before I forget, I was going to ask. How do you differentiate the mega man games? Like...i associate 3 with snake man. I can't think of that game without thinking of snake man. I haven't even played 6 but I'm already associating it with plant man.

So the event is a monthly thing? But yeah when I started binge watching the marvel movies, i almost stopped playing video games completely. I almost never played kingdom hearts either, aside from a brief stint. My reasoning was because I didn't grow up with Disney films. (aside from pixar). And I'm aware the game is about traveling to different classic disney film worlds. Also the story is notoriously confusing. That's the biggest turn off from a video game for me.

I google searched setsuna and this came up. https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/3/3c/Setsuna.png/revision/latest?cb=20150723235359. (obviously it's not the one your talking about). But out of curiosity, what's the character about again? I might be mixing it up, but didn't you say it was the character who couldn't talk about anime to her parents. It's nice you find the character endearing. I have nothing against using reddit, if you do that's fine. There's just certain aspects I can't stomach.

Actually I don't know why i bought up the ambulance thing last night...but ick. I almost never speak about it. If you don't mind me asking, how are you holding up so far this year? I'm aware the winter seasons feel gloomy for some. Honestly I don't mind winter.

Spongebob is so divided. Some people say the show has gotten better, but the first 3 seasons are widely considered the "golden" era. There's a grouchy character named squidward, and for some reason the writers started making entire episodes devoted to torturing him and making him miserable. It's just so strange...and just not funny unless you like watching someone get brutalized. Seriously, if you enter "Squidward Torture" into google the definition will probably appear.

I'm more amused with this than I expected. I was actually excited to see how strong my weapons could get if I kept leveling them up, but then I realized they hit a cap. Oh well. I don't mind exploration. But I would rather do it for enjoyment...not backtracking around the map 30 times so I can find an item I missed. Also I leveled down and I'm not sure how it happened. I guess I ran out of health and it took my level instead of giving me a game over? I will say that I was having fun and I look forward to playing more into this. Oh and I found the map item. (and haven't felt the need to use it yet). I can definitely see the inspiration. It feels like I'm playing some 90's retro version of undertale. Even the mimiga look like asriel. And I'm glad to be playing this on 3DS (to be honest it's a 2DS). The controls feel perfect.

I didn't know that. I thought you were required to take the sword for meta knight. There's a way around it? I never wanted to give up my power up, but I just thought okay it wants you to duel him. There was also a mode in Super Star Ultra that let you actually play as meta knight. Thinking back on it, superstar ultra was so cool. It's funny, because when I was younger I had no idea there was an SNES version. (Then I realized it's literally the same game with less content). I'm surprised you haven't played the N64 kirby. There's also a gamecube one which I believe is a racing game. Kirby's Air Ride I think. Did you play the original Mario Party? I'm familiar with every single mario party besides 9 and 10. I know somebody on the spectrum, and he would spend almost every minute of the day playing mario party challenging the CPU bots. As a result, I play with him sometimes, and have played almost every single board on every single game. (sometimes multiple times). Some I like better than others. I prefer the N64 games, with my favorite being Mario Party 2. I'm neutral towards 4 and 5 but I like 6 and 7. I don't like 8.

Oh that's neat about the endless mode rom hacks, and how they accepted it and made it part of Mega Man 9. I wish more companies would carry that attitude instead of cease and desisting. It's quite heart warming when a company embraces fans and the ideas they have. I assume if you've played as the DLC character so many times, they must be tons of fun. I'm thinking maybe it's doctor wily, but yeah never mind that couldn't make much sense. Have you ever played Super Mario Crossover? It was a flash game about the original super mario bros, except you could play as Mega Man, Link, Simon Belmont, Samus, Sonic, etc.

It's lortiha yes. I was thinking of final fantasy 10 for some reason. (no idea how i mixed this up). I don't remember the final boss of xenoblade being terribly difficult, but like most of the game, a few levels can make a world of difference. I think I was about two levels above him. I looked up Ace Attorney and ouch, $30 for each game. Also there's so many titles I have no idea if you can just start in the middle of one, or if there's a certain order. Have you played Kingdom Hearts? I tried to start with 2, and what a mess that caused. Professional games have lasted 8 hours. I don't have that kind of stamina, and was tired after 1 hour.. You have to manage every piece and think out the result of every turn. In Bullet Chess you only have a few seconds for your turn. Most professionals get in such a hurry that the pieces start getting knocked all over the board. It's rather funny.

It's always interesting to get a friend request from a school peer, because I'm like "oh hey you remembered me". I hardly ever send out requests, but it's nice when stuff like that happens. My least favorite platform is reddit. Small rant incoming, but that place just feels like a giant echo chamber. You create "subreddits" for people with the same opinions, and down vote anybody who comes in with a different opinion. I just think it's appalling, and have other reasons I can't stand it. I'd much rather be a twitter user than a reddit user. (It can be fun to browse, I'll give it that). But yeah now that you mentioned it twitter does seem like a decent way to connect. Didn't you mention finding connections through instagram? I literally have one instagram friend and it's a random person I met on animal crossing. Otherwise I don't use the platform.

It's a vicious cycle. I've constantly felt down for "not doing enough" but it's hard when you aren't motivated to do anything. I did go out today. (sadly i'll admit, it's the first time this year). It was nice and I got a vanilla milkshake. I know of little to break this feeling though. My anxiety actually peaked before quarantine. Anxiety was a 24/7 thing for me, and on the positive side, at least i'm not living like that anymore. I avoided mentioning to you the severity, but one evening I started to faint, and was laid in an ambulance. If I'm strong enough to get through those days, I can absolutely deal with whatever this is. Last year my anxiety hit an all time low, and I was never hospitalized. So yay for progress.

At least one piece sounds like it still has quality. Spongebob has devolved into the "torture" squidward show. It's just bizarre now. No idea what the writers are thinking anymore to be honest. On the old forum i used i kept the same avatar for 7 years. (it was a dancing gif and i found it way too amusing to change).

I "caved" in and purchased cave story for 3DS. I started with easy and I'm not actually sure of the difference between the difficulties. However I've had a hard time with this genre, and if I get stuck I'm probably not going to feel like ever picking it up again. I already died 3 times because I was clumsy and didn't realize the door was an enemy. I just kept standing on it wondering what was taking my health. This does seem like a nice game to chill out and take my time with, so I don't think I'll use the internet as a resource (although I might occasionally have a question). Also I'm getting strong undertale vibes from this game, and I'm not sure if it's the music or because it's in a cave. I played the original metroid for a little bit, and I remember the "rule" was check left first. So I did it in this and found a gun.

I loved the computer virus boss fight, that has to be one of my favorite boss fights from any video game. (it's that one that functions like a jrpg battle). There was also one with meta knight where he gives you a sword to duel him with. There were so many cool fights in this game and I loved the creativity. Dyna Blade reminds me of Ho-Oh. I also liked how she becomes his ally when he's fighting meta-knight. You've played the N64 Kirby game, right? That game let you combine abilities and I believe had a section that let you control King Dedede. I really enjoyed that one, but sadly N64 emulation is shaky so I lost my progress late into it. But yeah he had an old game boy color in our house. It was purchased by our family before I was even born, so as a small child I picked it up and played Link's Awakening all the time.

I wanted to share how I would rank each mega man game in terms of how much I enjoyed them so far, but in truth I'd find it impossible. I've had fun with all of them. In terms of difficulty I would rank them 4 > 3 > 1 (5?) > 2. 3 and 4 felt on par, but 3 had the easier Wily Castle. (and 4 had ring man's stage). 1 was short and had the exploitable pause glitch. But I didn't know 9 even had DLC. I'm excited to try out Proto Man now. I was always holding onto hope that maybe Mario Odyssey would get a couple of DLC stages, but it never happened unfortunately. At this point I'd probably expect a sequel.

It sounds like your at the end of Xenoblade at least. I remember the game roughing up in difficulty towards the final sections, I think the boss fight name was yunalesca, but I might be thinking of something else. (It was that one boss who kept screaming about insolence). I remember having to grind on that section. I understand leaving stuff for a while. I've been watching so many marvel movies that I'm down to the final 2. (which is good because I'm getting burned out, and sad because I'm attached to the characters). Also I'm still back into chess, and I played an hour and a half long match last night. I wish I could play Ace Attorney through my phone emulator, but my phone is having issues charging. Such stuff happens with old devices, and I tend to converse my things for as long as possible.

I guess it depends who you have added on social media. My facebook feed is 99% family and school friends, so every time I post it's like making a public announcement to them. I just don't like doing it. I don't use twitter either. I've heard horror stories of how people act on that platform, and I don't want anything to do with it. I think I set up an account and almost never touched it again. I've considered just removing facebook and keeping messenger so I can keep in touch with a select few people. Regarding depression, do you ever feel "stuck"? Like days are just on a repetitive loop, and it's hard to do anything outside of this loop. For me it's not even sadness, just nothing. But aw it's nice seeing you picked a new avatar. As long as your continuing to have fun with it, hopefully you enjoy doing the themes. I need to update my signature so badly. Have literally only changed my signature one time since I joined in 2017. (and that was in 2018).

I don't put too much into reviews. Enjoyment is a subjective thing. Just because reviews are negative doesn't meet wouldn't like the experience. I do enjoy hearing a different perspective though. I loved Fallout 3, but found out it's endlessly bashed in the community for being linear with morality. To each their own, I still had fun in my own experience playing. I've only heard of one of those things you mentioned, which is My Hero Academia. No idea what that's about, but I kept hearing about it in high school and it's apparently quite popular. Is it even a show or just a manga? Never heard of those other things you mentioned, not even once. But that's interesting, and I wonder why they don't get second seasons. You have western cartoons like spongebob which have been running 21+ years, and don't know when to stop.

i deleted half this message twice. it was very clumsy, But I was just thinking meh, I can rewrite. (And it ended up being longer because I had more thoughts to add).

I actually tried downloading cave story...and ran into chromebook issues. I would just refer to this as the "homework" computer because it can't do much else. I might be able to try an emulator on the chrome-book app store and try to run it as a rom.

You mentioned amazing mirror, and now that I think of it...isn't The Great Cave level in Kirby Superstar a metroidvania? It's a large map with different sanctioned areas. Except I don't think you make progress by getting power-ups, so maybe it doesn't count as one. I did play the original Kirby's Dreamland through the 3DS e-shop, and I don't even think it had powerups. It also made me realize, spring-breeze in Kirby Superstar is like a soft remake of it. (Not sure if soft remake is a term or if I just made something up). I haven't played mega-man much in the past couple days, because lethargy. I wasn't having fun with Crystal Man's stage so not sure who I'll go after next, although it's pretty looking aesthetically. I like the vibe from Link's Awakening. It feels very much like a dreamstate, and from what I've seen the remake captures the feeling even more. It was also one of my first video game ever, so I have that kind of bias.

That makes sense about protoman. However the fights felt more like a nuisance than anything. The fights were the same, and it's like he existed just to chip my health. I loved the whistle before he appeared. I thought he was actually going to fight me again in Gemini's stage. Isn't there a game where you play as protoman? Or maybe I'm imagining it.

So how is the progress in xenoblade going? Also is it just me or does xenoblade feel like one of those games that could fit in on any console. Like, I could easily see it being a PS4 or PC title. Well now that you mentioned that about Phoenix Wright I must play it now. I love that kind of stuff. I'll be emulating it on my phone very soon as soon as I find the proper game to start with. I don't care much for action elements. I just want story. Even if it's very slow paced. I'm actually more interested in minecraft now that it has a story mode. When it first released it didn't. Not sure if I mentioned this, but I generally don't like crafting in video games. It usually means learning a tedious system, and falling behind if you don't. Gem Crafting in Xenoblade could have probably been simplified a bit, or given a better explanation. In Dragon Quest 11, crafting is literally just pressing a button until you land on the correct spot.

I like reading social media but I don't like making posts. on facebook I turned off being tagged, I just don't like seeing random pictures of me coming up either. My mother has a group with nearly 10,000 followers, which is pretty amazing. I remember posting a picture of myself on the staff section of pokecommunity, and of course it makes you wonder if the post will get ignored or if anybody will like it. It didn't get ignored at all, but I admire those who can ignore worrying about such things in the first place.

I understand the feeling all too familiarly. Do be patient as possible, she doesn't mean it and it really makes you suffer. I was one of those who had to ask constantly, all the time, sometimes multiple times per day. It's paralyzing, so I hope your friend gets through it. Do you have anything in mind for the themeing? Honestly I probably won't change mine. I like the whismicott avatar quite a bit.

Also...this is unrelated. But does death note have a movie? I saw it posted on social media...speaking of that, do most anime shows turn into movies? (Like love live)

Yeah there actually is. I generally mostly seem to like Machines and Dragons c:

though my most fun deck is Winged Beast

Well we have dragons, spellcasters, machines, winged beasts, sea serpents, cyberse, insects, EVERYTHING!!!

I have many wares, it depens on what spikes thine interest

shoulda been Roni instead

I can bribe with trading cards

Here's a couple screeshots: https://imgur.com/a/D130XbT. Shows the disc space it takes, and there's a button to instantly remove it.
It also creates a spot on file explorer called "Linux files" but it's blank and I've found no use. Everything gets dumped into my regular downloads. So when I want to run steam I just do it through my downloads, not the linux space. https://imgur.com/a/0D7iNdF (You can see all the steam set-up stuff). There's also something called "Linux Terminal" (however it openly displays my personal email, so i don't want to share). It looks like command prompt. I typically ignore it, I think it's for more advanced stuff you can do with linux.

Does every kirby game have a true arena? I thought that was just a thing for Super-Star Ultra. But I did watch a couple videos of triple deluxe. It reminded me of superstar ultra, hence the interest. (might have just been the menu's). I actually did play Kirby's Amazing Mirror for a bit. I didn't really get the point, or why there were so many kirby's running around. I'm guessing it's primarily a multiplayer game. One of those things I emulated for a couple minutes out of curiosity. It's nice knowing kirby is still doing so well as a series. Some have just...gone off the grid. I mean look at F-Zero. Dragon Quest stays alive because it's immensely popular in Japan. (The games were so popular over in Japan, the government arranged with the company to release the games on Saturday's instead of Thursday's). So many kids were staying home from school to buy the games. I checked out the link. It's always amazing to see the amount of skill that goes into this stuff, particularly the speed people are thinking at. In return I'll link this. (Just skip to 20:34). It shows what I meant by people building cities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXuqhgghPuA. Despite Link's Awakening being one of my favorites, I never finished it either. I got stuck halfway through because i'm not that good at the 2D zelda's.

I did finish starman. At the end I realized I could abuse the gravity on the stage and hop over all the enemies. He actually wasn't that hard when I remembered to charge the mega buster. Also he was simple enough to just slide under. He even freezes in place, making it really easy to land shots. Also if you don't mind explaining, what exactly is protoman. It displayed him on the intro, but he already confused me back in megaman 3 with how he constantly attacked you then randomly helps you on gemini's stage. It reminds me of metaknight, with how he goes back and fourth from attacking kirby to helping kirby. I haven't tried Napolm or Gravity. I like keeping some of the stages as a surprise. Also running into a specific issue, i'll attempt to explain. I use my star barrier to get through crystal man's stage, but i end up depleting most of the power. I die and start over at the beginning, except with no power left so I have to just get myself killed on purpose. I've had this problem in the other games, but it feels particularly noticeable here.

I'm fine with low drop rates such as 7%. My issue occurs when the enemies are only available at specific times. (Like you have to find the enemy during a hot day, or a thunderstorm). Also those nebula enemies like to blow up. You can actually save before opening the chest I think? And just reload until you get the item you want. I forget the exact exploit, it might be saving before fighting the enemy. I never played Phoenix Wright. I would probably love it and get addicted because I love mystery stuff. I was looking at the e-shop though, and there's some really weird stuff. (not surprising because it feels more like the indie game shop with nintendo games sprinkled in). I've debating trying among us once on the random lobby after watching videos, but meh. Just ended up not being interested. Minecraft is another game I've almost never played. (kind of want to though). I'm subscribed to switch online since the service is so cheap. Just $3.99 for me. More if your on a family plan.

Ouch I catch myself doing that way too much. My eyes keep hovering over to the chat-box to see if someone typed a negative comment, then I think "no better to ignore and play". Chess is interesting, because very few could back up acting toxic. There are people who devote entire lifetimes to studying chess, and nobody has perfected it. (bobby fischer is the best example). There's centuries worth of books and advice columns.

I understand (unfortunately). I was one of those who would have to ask all the time if I was being annoying. It's just an unshakable feeling that takes over. Now that i'm on an anxiety prescription, I don't have the feeling as much. Though I still dwell on things pretty badly. I was gifted the supporter status, which allows user flairs. It took months before I used it because I thought it would be complicated, but it wasn't so bad.

I'll also link to it anyways: https://www.pokecommunity.com/forumdisplay.php?fn=art-and-design. I don't think I've ever posted in it to be honest. The stuff tagged "showcase" is usually featured art.

I'm not entirely sure how linux works myself. It was simple enough to install, and it lets me run windows applications. If your interested I could send a screenshot of the program. Uh also kind of curious about why you mentioned cave story not being worth the price. It's fairly cheap. Also, my mother randomly handed me a $8 visa gift card. She said she had purchased everything she was interested in with it, so I could have the rest.

I also loved the DS remake and spent so many hours on it. I admit I'm not a huge kirby fan, but I was a huge fan of SuperStar Ultra. My favorite modes were the True Arena and Helper to Hero. I beat the true arena using the power that makes kirby crash down as a stone. I sort of want to play it again, but if I'm going to buy a kirby game I'd rather play a modern one. (maybe triple deluxe). Did you mean that it was tedious to get 100% in planet robobot? Nope, I have not heard of Tetris Attack. I've never been a tetris person, but I did play Tetris 99 on a switch for a bit. Isn't Puzzle de Pon the switch game that's in Japanese? Because I opened something like that and immediately closed it. Have you ever seen competitive fortnite? That's another insane thing. It's like the players are building cities. Also I think they did the same thing for Link's Awakening. I recall the yoshi doll being in that game, and the chain chomp and goombas. If I haven't mentioned it, link's awakening was previously my favorite zelda game.

Is there a recommended level to start with in 5? I'm not making any progress. I tried Charge Mans stage but kept getting worn down by the chicken enemies. Usually I can pinpoint which boss looks the least threatening (like cut man or top man), but not this time. Also you were right, the charge buster looks way cooler. Are you interested in trying the Mega Man X games at some point?

How much time did you spend with colony 6? It's probably my favorite part of xenoblade. I really like seeing it turn from rubble into a city. It's not so much of a grind since I try to fill the collectopedia in every area before I leave. Yeah I can only recall one ice section, but I died on it over and over. Also I'm not sure what danganronpa is either, and google isn't being specific. I'm not sure how exactly among us rose in popularity, but random trends seem to just happen. For a while there was fidget spinner toy craze, and like we were talking about, pokemon go. It makes you wonder what the next big thing will be. Some stuff seems to surpass being a trend, for instance fortnite remains popular. Overwatch kind of fizzled out, but I remember that being talked about all the time. Sunken Ship is pretty late into it. I believe it's just monster town after that, then nimbus land, and volcano to end game. Every time we discuss a game or something, I start craving to replay it. I have an actual cartridge of Super Mario RPG, but it has a poor internal battery and deletes save files sometimes. Your subscription is probably way better than crunchy roll. Honestly our family has a bunch of subscriptions (Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Snackle). But it's sort of split. Like, my sister pays for disney+ where she lives, but we all have the account, so it's like a family thing.

I wonder if it's just a me thing, but when I'm playing something like chess I always mute the other person immediately. I can't concentrate on a game like this and read messages at the same time. Especially because you know, sometimes online people can get a bit toxic. (even on chess websites).

Do you ever feel like your mind picks out things to dwell on? Sometimes it feels like there could be nothing wrong, but I'll still feel "off" like I did something wrong. I admire how you could deal with this so well, because I feel like there's a mental block. Like it's really hard to get started on anything. And during the rare moments I start doing something it's not instant satisfaction. I'd just rather go back to doing nothing. Also thanks for sharing. I'm sort of the opposite. When I'm done with something I quickly try to find something else. Sometimes you find something so good it feels like the next thing won't be able to compare. I felt this way after finishing xenoblade and trying final fantasy 10. It's relatable what you mentioned about thinking about the scenes during class. I was watching a movie today, and of all things I got zoned out thinking about chess openings. Such a strange thing to zone out about, but it happened. My first avatar on pokecommunity was crobat, since that's one of my favorite pokemon. It makes sense picking your favorite characters and themeing around them.

I'm always some what late on joining these fandoms. Right now I'm binging these marvel films I never watched, and I was 10 years late to breaking bad. It is always impressive seeing fan-art though. I believe pokecommunity has a forum for it if your interested. I have "art" on my profile but it's hardly art. I literally just scribbled stuff into microsoft paint.

This is just a passing comment but it's nice to see another Love Live fan on pc.

I managed to get linux back on my computer, so I can probably get cave story running. I actually had a few dollars in my steam wallet, but I gifted something for my brother. I thought about buying cave story on steam, but no I'd rather just play it for free. Linux is also taking up a lot of GB. My computer is 32gb, and it takes about 8. (kills my battery a bit faster than usual). But yeah 23 avenger movies about the characters, and 4 of those are actually the characters fighting together. After I type this up i'm going to watch iron man 3.

I actually played Kirby Superstar earlier this year. I made it to the Milky Way Galaxy levels...i think that's what it was called. The place you had to collect power-ups. I never finished. At this point I'd probably just restart. Honestly I think my favorite kirby game is Kirby's Adventure. Occasionally I load that and just run through the game in one sitting. There's some tricky parts, like mr. shine and mr. bright. I actually find these games moderately challenging, so I don't really understand kirby being for beginners. I haven't played any modern kirby games though, so I could be wrong. I've seen Panel de Pon but I have no idea what that is. I'm assuming a puzzle game.

I started Mega Man 5. My first impression is this game feels perfected. It's amazing to play an NES game that looks like it could be an indie throwback game made today. It's vibrant and I already love the bosses. I immediately jumped into "Starman". Made it to him easily but wasn't doing enough damage. I also tried "Crystal Man" and couldn't get past the falling rocks. I'm assuming the barrier is starman and he's going to be strong agaisnt crystal man. Also is this the game you mentioned has the train level? Oh and I didn't know that about toadman. These tidbits are actually really interesting, so thanks for sharing when you do. I assumed it was just an RNG thing.

When you mentioned 100k my immediate thought was "really, that's it"? I can't imagine that lasting longer than Prison Island. I'm slightly tempted to pick up my save, but I also bought the digital version so I would have to reinstall. Not sure how long I could play before getting burnt out again. If I haven't mentioned it, I stopped on the ice mountain. I also got tired of those sledding parts, my characters would fall and lose every bit of HP. There's also enemies that float in the air that I can never seem to reach. The area was pretty, but there's parts I wasn't enjoying. Luckily I don't think you ever have to go back.

You mentioned not finishing stuff after years. If you were to go back, are you someone who would restart, or try to pick up where you left off? It must be amazing to develop a game and have it blow up. For example, the creators of Among Us didn't except the game to become so popular. It was released a while before it's popularity. I never played it myself, but I also turned almost exclusively towards single player stuff. The idea looked cool and I watched some stuff on YouTube. Speaking of YouTube, have you heard of YouTube TV? It's a streaming service similar to Netflix/Hulu. Except it's a ridiculous $65 per month. We were subscribed, but they just keep raising the price. That's actually why we ended up with Disney+ instead. (Which is only $7 per month).

Thanks for the conversation about chess. I've been playing it again today, and subscribed for a premium trial on chess.com. (let's you face customized bots, do puzzles, get feedback on your games). My interest has been rekindled, even if this is just temporary. I even won a game with 0 blunders.

I wish that wasn't so relatable. (With what you mentioned about dwelling on something that happened, or what others said). But yeah it's similar to what I've been doing. Just drowning myself in movies, and chess again. I can't even express how rough it is, so I'm sorry to hear you've dealt with it for so long. I really hope it's just something that passes, since it progressively has gotten worse. Classes start soon but I keep thinking "what's the point". What do you do when you finish a series such as love live? I love these marvel movies, but eventually I'll run out.

Sorry this won't be a full response (fatigued), but I thought I would log on to mention the conversation we had inspired me to play chess again. (well, just one game to be honest).

...I was incredibly sloppy and blundered 6 times. But I actually won. It's nice knowing I haven't completely forgotten everything. And I had fun doing the match.

I just finished watching Thor. I loved every bit of it. But yeah there's four avengers movies. Each avenger hero has about 3 or 4 of their own movies. Disney+ lists them in timeline order, so i've just been going through them that way. I never read comics, and it's why I wasn't interested in the movies. Turns out these are understandable without the comics.

Link to the Past is on Nintendo Switch online. I'm not enjoying the service. Games seem to be added once in a blue moon, and I try to be patient and wait. Particularly with earthbound. But I can just emulate these games on our wii within 5 minutes. I subscribed to PS now and it has over 950 games (some of which are recent PS4 releases). It put things into perspective. I toxic stall sometimes, because it's actually a very good strategy. In emerald I sometimes use cradily with ingrain, toxic, and protect. I used a Bronzong when I played platinum, and accidentally had heatproof instead of levitate. I regret that so much, but was too stubborn to switch. Levitate is definitely better. Have you done any nuzlocke runs of platinum? I tried once, and failed at the elite four. I don't do them often though.

I have no idea how anybody could beat wily without blowing up the drill bomb. The attacks just kept bouncing off. Also I forgot to mention, but is ring man just ridiculous powerful or something? Every time I fought a boss, my first guess is ring man. And half the time I'm correct. The boss rush was rough. Dive Man and Ring Man guaranteed I was losing most of my health. I used Toad Man and Pharaoh Man as free health spots. (Because you can freeze Pharaoh and he can't touch you). Skull Man kept rushing me down, I couldn't ever seem to predict Drill Man. I was actually doing this over and over, for about two hours. Bright Man was the worst. I have no idea how you avoid him. Are the hidden pathways required, or is it for an optional reward like the balloon? I actually forgot to save after getting the balloon, so I didn't have it in the final stages. Not sure if I would have gotten use out of it, because I primarily used the jet. Jet seemed a bit weaker because you couldn't steer freely, it pushed you in a single direction. I'm guessing this will be the new standard? It's like Dr. Light downgraded his rush jet.

Yes, I understand that. I remember starting at sword valley, dickson would sell you equipment that let your entire party harm mechon. Suddenly it just came back to me. I found it difficult to keep track of equipment in this game anyways. Reyn and Dunban would be well equipped, and sharla would still be wearing stuff from Makna Forest. Did you ever run into issues with money? Because I did all the side quests, and found myself struggling to get the best equipment for everybody while keeping Colony 6 upgraded. I never understood what Xord was saying until I looked up his quotes online. Turns out he likes to repeat "It feels like a fly bit me". He was an interesting villain, so I hoped he would be reoccurring. I have to look up that trailer, but I think your referring to the Colony 9 attack? I don't remember this game killing off many characters. Thankfully. It would have been heartbreaking if they did something like killing Reyn.

Sometimes even when I like a series, I just randomly stop watching and can't pinpoint why. I was watching a let's play of Xenoblade 2. I was around episode 30, and turning it on just became sleep inducing. Which is weird because I enjoyed the characters. It hasn't happened with marvel yet. I've found these movies captivating. I started Legend of Korra and only made it to episode 6. I hope he takes his time with Deltarune. I imagine he's getting a lot of comments and emails asking him about it. At the same time, he hasn't made any updates. So it makes me wonder if development is still going. I remember one developer stating the pressure for a sequel caused him to feel burnt out. Speaking of this, what do you think of flash going down? It's been a big deal recently, since it's the end of an era for many websites of the past two decades. Epic Battle Fantasy was a good series which could rival most console JRPG's. I'm sad that won't be as available, but luckily it's still on steam I think.

I admire magnus and other professional players for the amount of stamina they have. Games can up to 8 hours in length. I feel exhausted after a 20 minute casual game. If your interested, there's a short clip of microsoft founder Bill Gates challenging magnus and getting completely destroyed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84NwnSltHFo. Wait, that's really funny and ironic how the card game had a disgusting power creep. Considering the actual games had the same disgusting power creep. Mega Rayquaza was already in the ubers tier, which is basically a place to banish pokemon that are too strong. It was too strong among the banished pokemon, and went up into it's own tier.

So I mentioned I might have something to ask. How do you handle thoughts that bring low moods? Also I was clumsy and accidentally deleted this entire message. But luckily I saved it because when I've been writing a while I make it a habit to copy into my clipboard.

I'm trying to get through all the avengers arc movies, i've only watched 5 so far, and there's 23 total. Sometimes they get lengthy, almost always 2 hours and the longest one goes above 3 hours.

I believe it does tell you about the sail, but I was also playing the game half heatedly and kept mashing through the dialogue. As far as Zelda games go, i'm interested in playing A Link to The Past. I don't enjoy the 2D titles as much though, aside from Link's Awakening. I passed up on A Link Between World's. I think Mipha's ability is the one that fully revived you, which was by far the most useful. Especially against Lynels. Fighting those things were so fun, but just not worth destroying your inventory. Yeah that's a risk to consider. For some people, learning to play pokemon competitively has messed up some enjoyment for playing casually. It makes you aware of all the small nuances, such as catching a pokemon with a bad nature. Out of curiosity, do you find replaying platinum diminishes the difficulty a bit, or are there still some challenging parts? I'm in the minority who has never lost to Cynthia. (But I still constantly lose to wallace in emerald. go figure).

Soo the good news is I did finish Mega Man 4. I refused to use e-tanks during the boss rush, which hilariously led to me collecting way too many. Also you know how we were talking about the game being vague with what you could do with the power-ups? I had no idea pressing the button a second time blew up the drill shooter. I thought Wily was invincible and I had to look up this fight online. And I clipped my over-preparation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Llqmnp8PNQc. But the cool thing is I now get to start Mega Man 5. This one seems exciting. There was also another wily fight after, but it wasn't hard. The final boss theme was probably my favorite in the entire series so far.

I considered the half way point to be Prison Island. Just because it seemed to split the story between the more light-hearted tone to a more serious tone. And it also introduced Zanza. Dragon Quest 11 did a similar thing where it introduces the main villain and drastically shifts the tone of the story. I agree that the second half is filled with Mechon, but I don't remember if the game gave you more reliable ways to fight them. In the early portions you pretty much had to be controlling shulk so you could enchant your party members. On the topic of Xenobalde, did you have any trouble with Xord? He does so much damage, however when I played this time I cleared him on my first attempt. It was actually terrifying the first time when you think you've beaten him, and he rushes through the elevator. I remember playing through the mines, finding otharon a bit harsh to shulk.

I think I'm in a bit of an "off" mood with pokemon to be honest. I haven't been playing anything pokemon related, and I'm not in the mood to start any games. I have an amazon gift card, depending on the price I might place an order for Gates to Infinity. The only one I haven't played. (But idk I also want dragon quest builders). Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up. Trying to make sure, but I'll avoid bringing up castlevania related stuff. Everybody has different views on what a spoiler is. Playing so many plot heavy games, I emphasize with how bad it is running into them. YouTube is the worst offender for this. You look up a song and it shoves the ending into your recommended page.

No you haven't been confusing about it, don't worry. Actually the conversation interested me so much it inspired me to try and episode of love live. Although I jump between things so much, it's the sole reason I haven't gone back. Right now I'm into marvel, but who knows how long before my interest in that falls. I'm not a fan of seasonal stuff. I'd rather wait and binge the entire thing. That's why I haven't played Deltarune, which is the spiritual successor to Undertale.

You have it exactly correct about blundering. You need to do it to get better. The best player in the world (Magnus) often challenges rooms full of people simultaneously. He beat 10 players at the same time with a blind fold on. Right now he's in his prime, and is considered by many the greatest player in history. I don't think I would be a good teacher honestly, especially when someone like that exists. I was never very competitive, and mostly played to have fun. I usually didn't care for wins and losses. My only experience with the Pokemon TGC is the old gameboy color game. They had it on 3DS e-shop so I played through the entire thing. It's probably so much different than when that game released.

And i'm okay, though thanks for asking.
