apparently in Pokémon 2 you can finally commit treason against the government which is good because before we'd never even seen the government

@liquidusmira I always assumed Mewtwo ate the government, or psychic beamed them all to death on a helicopter like Shin Godzilla anyway

@liquidusmira Pokemon takes place in Missouri, which is why there are no laws or government

@scribus So a 'All Summer Long' to 'Sweet Home Alabama' or more of a 'Ice Ice Baby' to 'Under Pressure' kinda thing ?

honestly im not sure if i expected to be still coming here ten years later.
The site has kinda lost it's relevance. Maybe we should rebrand.

@scribus Yeah but ironically MLP ended up being pretty much the only series to endure out of the ones we were all thinking of at the time. Littlest Pet Shop: Cancelled. Over the Garden Wall: Over. Gravity Falls: Over. Steven Universe: Who even knows. Rick and Morty: anathema to thinking people. Adventure Time: Over.

@ceruleanspark Funny you mention Over The Garden Wall. It's very recently become my favorite cartoon of all time.

That said, I'm pretty sure we *are* a gay speed dating service? How many people came to terms with having the big gay just through this website alone? At least two of them.

@ceruleanspark I was going to say, can we please be a gay speed dating service?

@adiwan "expensive to buy" . Never write something right after waking up before doing anything else.

@adiwan This here: http://www.infiniteneslives.com/nesmaker.php They have a kit with a board, cartridge shell, and the flasher-device-thing, and it's supposed to be basically a one-button procedure with the NESMaker software. I'm sure I'll end up with both devices, anyway. Haha Just trying to decide for today. Probably will end up putting it off until I have a job again...
-
@scribus I'd get an Everdrive first because it seems to be a more versatile tool. I read that there is an unofficial firmware for the Everdrive that supports the mapper of NESMaker games.

@nerthos I was *sure* I was about to watch a bunch of people die in a fire, but instead it turned out pretty rad.
-
@ceruleanspark You know me, cerulean. Were it a bunch of people dying in a fire, I would have sent it anyway, but privately :)
The video just reminded me of you, and stuff that old is rare.
How have you been? we haven't talked in forever, I kinda miss it.

@ceruleanspark "Wily Beast and Weakest Creature", Demo came out May the 4th ( 2019 ).
I mostly know that because I heard some Star Wars geeks rant about it.

I just remembered For Honor. The video game where you could live out your fantasy of being a knight and play with a sword. Alternatively a Viking or ?Samurai? if you were one of 'those' people.
I would really like a game like that on the Nintendo Switch, but focused on couch-play instead of whatever For Honor's main aim was.Wednesday, 17-Apr-19 23:04:15 UTC from web- Jonathan Chouinard likes this.

@drinkingpony I just stumbled across a documentary (?) on Netflix about that game! Have yet to watch it, and never played, but the concept sounds neat. !vgp !movies
-
@scribus It was a great concept, but the lack of dedicated servers (Meaning P2P networking, with the game selecting the fastest 'node' as host, like with CoD on the XboX360, a thing that everypony and everyhuman hated) lack of balance, and dishonourable killings in a game called 'For Honor' ultimately brought nothing but toxicity. There even was a day-of-infamy, orchestrated by Reddit, to have a day of NOT playing the game trying to make the dev's aware that the game had huge problems.

Damn Korok seeds. I cannot find them and I NEED more item storage for weapons.

@scribus I'm powering through the main quests and I don't find many of those Korok seeds to increase my inventory space. Since I don't find any (because I'm not exploring much) it's a struggle to keep a good stock of good weapons. I haven't any problems that I didn't have any but it's a small struggle.

@scribus given that they typically arrive in the middle of my work day, on weekdays, I’d have to be having a really weird day for it to be the second one.

I do want to talk about the implications of this unit for a moment, specifically "Dry Bones" and "Dry Bowser", whose naming conventions confuse and frighten me. When I die, will I become Dry Brian? Is a living Bowser Wet Bowser? Why do Piranha Plant have bone in it?

@ceruleanspark You are a Wrian now, and a Drian when you are dead.
Do not overthink it. -
@ceruleanspark Well, it was never proven that piranha plants are actually plants, and not plant-resembling animals. There's a marked lack of academic institutions in the mushroom kingdom.

Watching classic Futurama, this quote has aged well: "Listen here, missy. Computers may be twice as fast as they were in 1973, but your average voter is as drunk and stupid as ever. The only thing that's different is me: I've become bitter, and, let's face it, crazy over the years. And once I'm swept into office, I'll sell our children's organs to zoos for meat, and I'll go into people's houses at night and wreck up the place. Muahahaha!"
