if you're uploading it to sep7agon, it'll do that
it's better to paste the URL from a different source like imgur

I used to wonder the same thing, but I think the basic idea is that it's better to be caught on Twitter than it is to be caught on Pornhub.

searing hot take
people who had their favorite characters mii'd should just be happy they made it into the game at all
only geno and waluigi fans get to be salty (and i'm only one of those things)

Also good luck finding a copy of the N64 version of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3.
well, two years later, i finally found Pro Skater 3 out in the wild—along with three other random sports games that brings me to 80% completion with precisely 60 games to go STILL NO BANJO-TOOIE

nah but kazuya making it to smash has me wanting to try it out some time
i didnt watch the sakurai presents but doesnt kazuya play like a legit fighting game character? like, you have to make a billion inputs?
basically yeah he's toned down a little bit, but he's still pretty authentic with the weird inputs it's cool how much care they put into doing stuff like that, but at times, i wish they wouldn't do it just because i think it turns some people away from characters they'd otherwise really enjoy playing

i think the last time i even stepped foot in that shopko while it was still there was over ten years ago
i rarely shopped at the one in houghton tbh but i liked it. was a good store. thing is with wal mart down the street and econos next door i didnt have much reason to shop there. understandable why it went out of business. probably shopped at the one in iron mountain more often than the one in houghton tbh.
how are you doing my dear friend?
graduated and finally getting my bachelor's in august, so i'm preparing for some major life changes pretty soon pretty nervous about all that, not gonna lie, but i'll be okay

speeding through a show just because it's LONG seems like a bad idea to me anyway, especially if you're not super into it
you should be enjoying the show you're watching on some level—not watching it just to get it over with
Wonder how you'd react to the Chimera Ant Arc in HxH lol
how many episodes would i need to watch to make it to this arc

Spoiler "It was about 10 years ago when we were working on the original Drakengard that I thought about the meaning of “killing.” I was looking at a lot of games back then, and I saw these messages like “You’ve defeated 100 enemies!” or “Eradicated 100 enemy soldiers!” in an almost gloating manner. But when I thought about it in an extremely calm state of mind, it hit me that gloating about killing a hundred people is strange. I mean, you’re a serial killer if you killed a hundred people. It just struck me as insane. That’s why I decided to have the army of the protagonist in Drakengard be one where everyone’s insane, to create this twisted organization where everyone’s wrong and unjust. I wanted to weave a tale about these twisted people.
And then we worked on Nier…We created this game called Nier, and after the world experienced the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the war in Iraq, we were being bombarded with updates on terrorist organizations and activities even in Japan. That’s when my opinion changed. The vibe I was getting from society was: you don’t have to be insane to kill someone. You just have to think you’re right. So that’s why I made Nier a game revolving around this concept of “being able to kill others if you think you’re right,” or “everyone believes that they’re in the right.”"

very cool stuff nier might be my favorite bad game

Possible Character leak Mister Chef
Taking it with a grain of salt but I could see it with the context of upcoming Halo Infinite release as well as prior featuring with Fortnite. Also apparently comes from a reliable enough source as far as previous leaks goes (with a track record of occasional misses).
I don't really care too much for what goes on in Ult since it's just weird to play for me and I don't do much with it competitively compared to Melee, but I'll still take it over yet another anime tiddy sword character from a game I'm never going to touch. I imagine he'll be just as complained about/annoying to play against as Rob/Snake/Banjo/The entire cast since I've seen smash twitter complain about playing against nearly every character in the game at this point, with the exceptions of Sheik and Jigglypuff lmao. Might give him a whirl if the leak ends up holding merit next time I play.
at this point, i would actually be 100% down for this, if only because the majority of DLC has been quite underwhelming imo, and this would at least be something of an internet breaker i'm not really feeling it though—it'll be someone safe and boring, like crash

Is Nier 1 = Nier Replicant™ ver.1.22474487139... ?
The latter is a remake of the former, yeah. I'm playing through the original, though, since it's what I have.

The characters were all pretty okay, except for Kainé, who I loathed (and no, not just because of her incredibly stupid outfit).
I know why. Spoiler Oh lameao, that stupid bitch got hit and kinda died (but not really) again. Oh wow, she got pierced by spear few minutes after getting unpetrified (lololoool), guess she will die but not really because she can transform into shade or w/e. Oh guess she's completely fine after doing that.
Spoiler Don't forget how the camera would always zoom in on her asshole every single time she got got. There's that, and I also couldn't really jive with her personality, either. She definitely could've been cool—coomerbaiting aside, a pretty warrior lady with a surprisingly filthy mouth is certainly a fun idea, but I just don't think they did a very good job with it. The fact that she's so crude and caustic is a good thing—I don't want to give the impression that that's my issue with her. The problem is that she doesn't seem to have any brakes. Almost all of her dialogue gives the impression that she's just in maximum bitch mode all the time, which would be less annoying if it was intended to be funny or something, but it rarely ever seems to be. It's like hearing a song played with only one note. Every time the protagonist says something to her, I find myself being able to predict exactly what her sassy response is going to be, because she just can't stop being a surly cunt for even one second, and it doesn't help that the reasons for her attitude are never adequately explained until you've already beaten the game once. If you think her attitude is justified by her backstory or whatever, that's fine, but I just like my characters to be a little more three dimensional. She did have one good line, though. There's a moment when Emil is letting the protagonist know how he and Kainé pass the time whenever waiting for him outside the village, and he ends up embarrassing her in the process, prompting her to say, "Emil, that's enough! I got a fucking image to maintain!" I thought that was pretty funny, and it reveals that she's at least self-aware, which I appreciate.

Just got Ending B, and I'm very pleased with where the story is going now. This ending pretty much serves to recontextualize everything that has happened in the game thus far, and it does so in a pretty emotionally satisfying way in my opinion (even if it does get excessively melodramatic at times). Spoiler What was once a simple story about a guy just trying to save his daughter in a fantasy world has become a story about a deranged bloodthirsty barbarian with a severe case of tunnel vision, destroying everything in his path to take what he only perceives to be his. Great stuff! I liked the story before, but now, I honestly kinda love it. There's definitely some metacommentary going on that I'm sure is gonna be taken to even greater extremes as I go further down this rabbit hole. I can't say any of this absolves the game of the horrible tedium I had to endure to reach this point in the first place, and it certainly hasn't been less of a slog to play, but I've pretty much accepted those flaws at this point. Now I'm just anxious to see how the other two endings are gonna twist the story around.

ive seen a lot of people creaming over elden ring
am i the only one who had no idea what that was
probably tbh it's only a big deal because it's a collab between the guy who made dark souls and the guy who will never finish the book series that game of thrones is based off of besides that, i can't say the game really grabs me in any way—i'm sure it'll be great, but it just looks like dark souls again

So I beat Nier—or at least, I got the first of four endings. My friends say I need to keep playing until I see the fourth and final ending, which is the one that leads into Automata. As cool as the story ended up being, the game itself is simply not very fun to play unfortunately. Combat is pure button mashing monotony, and the sidequests are about as boring and soul-sucking as can be—and because one of the endings requires you to acquire every single weapon in the game, you're basically forced to engage in some of the most mind-numbing and backtracky fetch quests you've ever put yourself through. There were times when I honestly thought the game was some kind of parody, or making some kind of comment on the nature of performing such monotonous tasks for hours on end while playing video games—but there are other times where I feel like that would be giving the game too much credit. There are clues here and there to support either side, I think, which makes it an interesting game to sort of dissect and think about, which might owe to its popularity, but at the moment, I don't find myself in the camp that argues that the game is some kind of deep or intelligent masterpiece. Maybe once I see more, but I doubt it. I was told that the game likes to play around with genres a lot—and I suppose that's true, but only to an extent, I feel. The game's so-called "genre shifts," for the most part, amount exclusively to a change in camera perspective. There are sections of the game where the camera will do something totally different from the rest of the game, makeing you think you're suddenly playing a survival horror game, to an isometric dungeon crawler, or even a text-based adventure at one point—but the gameplay itself doesn't change at all, which makes these "genre shift" moments feel ultimately shallow and unnecessary. The best thing I can say about it is that it's unique, interesting, and keeps you on your toes—but never did it stop me in my tracks, or make me go "Oh my god, what is this game??" as it made some of my friends react. The OST has been by favorite aspect of the game by far, and I would go far enough to say that the game probably doesn't even deserve to have a soundtrack this good. I won't comment too much on the story for now, just because there are still some things I'm trying to wrap my head around, but I will say that I'm glad it wound up getting somewhat interesting towards the end, because the first half of the game led me to believe that I was in for an extremely shallow adventure—but I wasn't, so I'm happy about that. The characters were all pretty okay, except for Kainé, who I loathed (and no, not just because of her incredibly stupid outfit). As I get to the other three endings, I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope that the game really is going for some kind of deep metacommentary on video games, because that's the only way I can accept having played something with gameplay this boring and shitty.
