The Flood / Re: How do I boost my confidence
« on: February 01, 2018, 05:20:57 PM »
the problem with working out is that you will never know if a girl likes you for you, or for your body

so i'd find that plan viscerally unappealing no matter what
Does it matter really? I doubt the general populous cares enough to disassociate the two and over time the feelings will blend into a general view of the person anyway. If you require someone to like you for your mind I think you're overthinking how attraction works.
uh, yeah, it kinda matters a whole fuck of a lot, actually

i think you're underthinking how attraction should work

>be a good yet unfit and therefore unattractive person
>work out
>suddenly attractive
>be the exact same person you were before, but now girls suddenly care about you

you shouldn't want ANYTHING to do with any girl who is that much of a shallow cunt

I should also remind you, and anyone reading, that even if you're not too confident with your looks, as long as you clean up well, you're mostly fine. A lot of people look ugly due to their style (hair, clothes, etc), and less because of their actual features. Not saying they don't exist (because they most certainly do), but yeah.
i do agree with this a lot

some people are just fucked, but the vast majority of people would look nice if they tried (or cared)

but it's also okay to not care, if you're willing to have an uphill battle when it comes to finding women (and it WILL be an uphill battle)

Update on the extra battles thing: the first one left a horrible first impression, but the new ones haven't been so bad at all. The latest one (which ended recently) gave you three 500 FM attempts to defeat a golden Shadaloo soldier for a 2500 FM award, which could be attained multiple times for a maximum profit of 6000 FM. That's actually pretty solid, and I hope the rest of the Extra Battles follow this model.

Future extra battles are slated to contain some Monster Hunter-themed outfits for Ken, Ibuki, and Mika.







My favorite costumes tend to be the ones that render your character unrecognizable, so these are pretty cool.

Serious / what is your most radical belief
« on: February 01, 2018, 03:33:54 AM »
so i just got done watching trump's sotu address, which nobody has made a thread about for some reason

and it merely reinforced my genuine and most heartfelt belief that everyone who voted for trump should be tortured in the worst and most horrific ways imaginable for the rest of their lives

that's probably my most radical belief now, even more than the anti-natalism thing

i hate all of you

I got a shiny Smoochum from the Odd Egg, luckily for me the Gen 2 department store stocks Ice Punch as a TM
woah, awesome

you should know that the odd egg has an increased chance of having a shiny, though (not sure by how much)

A straw is effectively just a torus (Donut shape) extended along the height of the torus. You'd say a donut has one hole, therefore a straw (Which is topologically pretty much the same) has one hole as well.
i too saw that reddit thread

"Why don't you just watch things that you expect to enjoy" - question one of my weeb friends is always asking me

anime is the only medium where you can expect to hate everything you watch, if you just watch any old thing

whereas i can play pretty much any video game, no matter what it is, and find something to enjoy about it—and even then, you don't have to look very hard to find good stuff

the same applies to film, literature, and especially music (while there are some genres i strongly dislike, i can point to exceptions pretty much everywhere)

but it seems with anime, where everything is garbage, you're pretty much supposed to go into it having a perfect understanding of what you like, rather than being open about what you could end up liking, because otherwise, it's just too hard to find anything worth watching

and this is an art form that i'm supposed to take seriously

Here's (almost) everything I still need to watch from 1995, for reference:

Shows:

Sailor Moon SuperS - Apparently, this is just season 4 of Sailor Moon. Why is it listed as a separate show on MAL? I'll get to Sailor Moon eventually, but I probably won't consider it a 1995 show.

Tenchi Universe - I need to watch the OVA, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, first.

Magic Knight Rayearth II - Obviously, I need to watch the first Magic Knight Rayearth.

The World's Most Famous Tales - Shitty anime adaptations of fairytales Disney already did perfectly. Might not bother.

H2 - Looks kinda interesting. It's about baseball, and I didn't know they played baseball in Japan.

El Hazard: The Wanderers - Already tried and didn't like The Magnificent World, so I'm not sure about this.

Wild Knights Gulkeeva
Jura Tripper
Bonobono
Bit the Cupid
Kuma no Puutarou
Yanbo Ninbo Tonbo
Nurse Angel Ririka SOS
Sorcerer Hunters
Saint Tail
Neighborhood Story
Mojacko
Touma Kishinden Oni

Some of this stuff is so obscure, it doesn't even have a Wikipedia article.

As for movies, we have:

Elementalors
Catnapped!
Tobe! Pegasus Kokoro no Goal ni Shoot
Tokai no Butchy
Whisper of the Heart***
Red Hawk: Weapon of Death
Kazu & Yasu Hero Tanjou
Memories***
Gotou ni Naritai.
Heong-geuli Beseuteu 5

*** = i'm looking forward to these

I'm only counting original movies that don't seem to be part of a larger franchise, so things like Legend of Crystania and any DBZ movie are excluded. Movies adapted from manga alone are fine, but in general, films that are based on shows just tend to feel like glorified episodes of that show, which is not at all what I'm looking for when it comes to film.

I won't bother posting the mountain of OVAs and specials I still need to sift through.

I'm gonna reset on account of the insanely retarded bullshit that's been happening.

5-hit Fury Attack three times in a row with two critical hits every single time + a destroyed PC = reset.

nuzlocking btw so yeah

There's a fun little glitch in this game where you can swap color palettes with the opposite-gendered player character, e.g. having a blue color palette for the boy (rather than red) and a red color palette for the girl (rather than blue).

All you have to do is start a new game, save, reset, and then start another new game as the opposite gender that you picked previously. Then save again, only turn off the game right as it's telling you not to. When you reset and continue your last save, not only will this unlock Mystery Gift for seemingly no reason, your avatar's color palette will be that of the opposite gender.

If you want a blue Ethan, start as Kris; if you want a red Kris, start as Ethan.





The effect seems to wear off as soon as you make it to Slowpoke Well, but it's still a neat little thing. Resetting as the game is still saving is kinda scary, but I've used this glitch for years and I haven't had any problems.

Just don't do it in the middle of your playthrough, like I did just now. It'll overwrite everything you had in your PC boxes (I only had a Hoothoot, a Zubat, and an Onix, but still). I wanted to see if I could reapply the glitch even after Slowpoke Well, and you kind of can. Your character will just undergo a sex change, and they'll also be the wrong color.

Assuming there are other points in the game where the effect wears off, you could technically alternate between incorrectly-colored characters throughout the playthrough, but the whole PC destruction thing kinda makes this whole experiment a lot less appealing. That's what happens when you tamper with save files too much, I suppose.

Didn't catch any of the matutinal encounters I was shooting for, but I did find a Geodude and a second Bellsprout (to trade for Onix), so I was able to make short work of Falkner despite having picked the worst starter.

They added ONE single Repel to pick up on the route just before Union Cave, which is exciting, because if I use it carefully, I may be able to save the elusive Lapras encounter for when I'm actually able to reach it.

Street Fighter II V (Group TAC, 1995, five episodes) Given that I'm already a pretty big Street Fighter fan, I kind of expected to find some enjoyment out of this, especially when it has a decent premise for the source material. But I didn't, really. It takes itself far too seriously, all the fight scenes are pretty laughable, and overall, it wound up being far too slow-paced for me to even finish. 5/10

Wedding Peach (KSS, 1995, one episode) I cannot believe that this Not-Sailor Moon has over 50 episodes to watch of it. 2/10

Azuki-chan (Madhouse, 1995, one episode) This isn't even close to my demographic, and I'm not quite deep enough into my insanity to where I can start imagining myself as a little Japanese girl before I start watching shows that are intended for them (I'm getting there, though). 5/10

Juuni Senshi Bakuretsu Eto Ranger (Shaft, 1995, one episode) 1/10

Soar High! Isami (Group TAC, 1995, one episode) 4/10

801 T.T.S. Airbats (Studio Fantasia, 1995, two episodes) 3/10

Makeruna! Makendou (OLM, 1995, completed) 1/10

Sotsugyou: Graduation (Unknown studio, 1995, completed) 2/10

Lesson XX (Unknown studio, 1995, completed) 3/10

Ruin Explorers (Ajia-Do, 1995, two episodes) 4/10
