Does it have cameras in it or something? Seems like I'd get used to it in a day tops.

If someone decides to get paranoid about being watched by hidden cameras due to the omnipresence of Cirno fumo, that's their choice.

Does it judge me?

Does this face look like it's judging you?

No matter where you go, no matter what you're doing, this Cirno fumo plushie will be somewhere in the immediate vicinity, looking directly at you. It cannot be removed, destroyed, or interacted with in any way, it will not interact with humans in any way (even if it appears holding an object that suggests that it is capable of doing so), and no one else can see it but you. It only exists to distract you during your everyday life. If you're at a restaurant eating dinner, Cirno fumo might be sitting at the next table over. If you're driving to work, you might see Cirno fumo in the back seat of a nearby car. If you're in your bedroom having sex with your significant other, Cirno fumo might be sitting on your nightstand. Even if you can't see it at the moment, you know it's there somewhere, just waiting for you to accidentally glance in its direction and be distracted by it.

Do you take the money and accept the constant presence of Cirno fumo staring at you, every day and every night, for the rest of your life?

I just say jif, but I don't care how other people say it. Plus, how often do people actually talk about gifs in real life as opposed to online? It rarely even comes up.

Do you believe it would signal the true end to American democracy? Do you believe there would be no more paths for opposition victory if such a thing would take place?

Yes, 100%. There would be nothing else left to stop Trump and Republicans from turning this country into a fascist Christian theocracy.

It wouldn't be forever. Eventually the regime Trump starts would fall. No government lasts forever.

But think of how much suffering and death the country would go through in that time. As someone who doesn't have the financial means to leave the country and is part of multiple minority groups that the MAGA crowd would love to see dead, I know with almost complete certainly that I wouldn't survive to see the end of the regime should it actually come to pass.

Did he do something to be removed?

https://www.si.com/fannation/mma/news/brock-lesnar-wwe-major-update

Former executive chairman of TKO Group Holdings, Vince McMahon, has found himself out of WWE following a lawsuit filed by former company employee Janel Grant. McMahon and former WWE head of talent relations John Laurinaitis are accused of sexually abusing Grant.

The lawsuit also alleges that McMahon shared explicit photos of Grant and a video of her urinating to an unnamed wrestler who requested it. The Wall Street Journal reported that the talent in question was Brock Lesnar.

As a result of the report and allegations, Brock Lesnar was reportedly removed from the Royal Rumble event this past weekend. Now, Fightful Select is reporting that it may quite some time before wrestling fans see Brock Lesnar back in the ring again.

If that report holds true, which is very likely, given the circumstances, don't expect him to make his return to the UFC. Both UFC and WWE are now under the same umbrella, TKO Group Holdings. While UFC CEO Dana White has a strong relationship with TKO CEO Ari Emanuel, Ari is doing all he can to wipe away the negativity that McMahon has left behind, and that goes for TKO as a whole.

PWInsider reported that Emanuel might clean house when it comes to those who worked closely with Vince McMahon. That could mean doom for any remaining backstage WWE worker who was labeled a "Vince Guy," and it may even be the end of Brock Lesnar under the bright lights.

TL;DR: Brock was implicated in the Vince lawsuit and subsequently removed from WWE content for PR reasons

Lmao, Mother 3 is coming to NSO for Japan only. They're never localizing it at this rate.

Lmao, the leaker mentioning dolphins was just for a new Endless Ocean game. Hungrybox is going to be crushed. He was so convinced the leaker was hinting at Gamecube games coming to NSO because Dolphin was the Gamecube's codename way back when. The leaker also mentioned Gamefreak was a partner, which got people hopeful for something Pokemon-related that might not have fit in the Pokemon Day direct, but it was just for a Pocket Card Jockey remaster. People got their hopes up way too high for this direct... myself included with the Fire Emblem copium.

Anyways, the most interesting things in the direct for me were Gundam Breaker 4, Super Monkey Ball, and Battletoads on NSO.

Intelligent Systems can technically be considered a Nintendo partner, so I will continue to huff massive amounts of copium for a new Fire Emblem game (maybe the FE4 remake that was rumored years ago) and most likely be disappointed.

Yep

Oh good, that means I can fast-forward through the shit I don't care about.

I've been watching and enjoying AEW since day one, and my all-time favorite from my time watching WWE show up in AEW just made me even happier. I do wish he could have feuded with someone besides Christian and his group, but he's still been having plenty of fun matches with guys he's never faced before (Edge vs. Minoru Suzuki was fucking surreal to watch) so I'm still happy with his run so far.

Dwayne Johnson's Brick cameo

I hate how much sense this makes

There had better be a Face McShooty appearance in this

I don't care about the graphics or the character designs. What I disliked about BD/SP was how it was too faithful to the original D/P to the point of omitting positive changes Platinum made and even directly porting over glitches from D/P out of sheer laziness. I care about the gameplay and content, so as long as the B/W remake actually adds new content and features like HG/SS and OR/AS did, then that's fine by me.

But I'm not going to get my hopes up after seeing how the past few years have gone with this franchise.

Here's mine:

I'm glad most of us seem to agree on Platinum, HG/SS, and B2/W2 being the top 3.

S/V deserve to be penalized for the terrible performance/optimization, but they shouldn't be that low IMO. I think the gameplay is good enough for low A tier, then the penalties for the performance issues drop it down to the middle of B tier for me.

Yes, I had Silver and Crystal as a kid, and I have all 3 on my 3DS now. Plus I played both HG and SS, since I imported HG (the only game I've ever imported from Japan to play it before its English launch) and then bought SS in English.

I assumed Viola being Amy was canon? Maybe it's not I don't know. If it's not canon then I take it back.

I don't think it was ever confirmed in canon, at least not that I'm aware of. Hinted at, but never confirmed.

Dudebusters posted...

I don't really count guest characters to be fair but mileage may vary

I do, at least the ones with unique styles. I liked Link and Spawn (Heihachi was meh) in 2, I wasn't really a fan of the Star Wars characters in 4, I never played Broken Destiny but I've heard Kratos was fun, Ezio in 5 was amazing, and I also liked both Geralt and 2B in 6. I think 6 might have had at least one more added in DLC, but that was after I had stopped playing and following the game.

2 and 6, it's really close between them.

Dudebusters posted...

The only good thing 5 introduced was ZWEI.

I disagree. Viola was also a fun "newcomer" (in quotes because it's highly speculated that she's actually Amy which would mean she's not actually a newcomer), Aeon was a neat way to incorporate Lizardman while also recycling parts of Kratos' moveset from Broken Destiny, and Ezio was such an amazing guest character that I actually mained him due to a lack of best girl Talim in that game. He was so fun to play as, and I'd love to see him come back in a future SC game, or at least his moveset recycled in some way.

But I do agree that 5 has plenty of flaws and is likely the worst in the franchise.

Zero. I dont have any desire to ever own one.

This. If I ever want to use a gun, I can just play Call of Duty.

Wait, I was checking the replies before. I don't use Twitter very often, so it took me a bit to find the quote retweets that TC was talking about, but it definitely gave much better results. Not gonna label each one, because my god there's a lot of them.

Thank you, looking through now.

Link to the tweet? I want to see some of these.

Also, Skorpion is best girl.

Only answering the ones I've watched

Dragon Ball: Piccolo
Demon Slayer: Inosuke
Inuyasha: Kikyo
Yu-Gi-Oh: Seto Kaiba

Ike has a completely different moveset from Marth and Roy, and is the only FE character who's a slow heavyweight. His personality is completely different too.

MorganTJ posted...

Ike, straight?

Also this. Dude has zero interest in women in any of the games, and his closest thing to a "couple" is with Soren.

Mermaid is the hottest, but sword fighter is still my overall favorite. I love me some handsome women with swords.

RIP legend, I still love pop tarts and I always will

Call of Duty MWIII

The store bundles are all cosmetic stuff that has no effect on the core gameplay, and everything that actually affects gameplay (new base weapons, new maps, new game modes, etc.) is added via free updates and easily unlockable by anyone. I've only bought one single store bundle in this game (a Call of Duty Endowment bundle where the proceeds go to charity) and I don't plan on buying any more. Some of the bundles are way overpriced for what you get from them, but overall, I'm fine with this system. It's still way better than the supply drops in some of the older CoD games.

Orange, with purple a close second

Taylor Swift wins the Owl in her rookie year!

Give her a ring. Unironically. She helped motivate this team and helped bring so many new fans into the game.

Ballgame! Chiefs win! What a fucking game!!

MVS what the fuck are you doing

Clutch pressure by Chris Jones and the Chiefs hold the Niners to a field goal. Now they know what they need to do to win, or at least to extend the game.

Trumpo posted...

Game is over next score or does the clock need to run down to 0?

Both teams get the ball at least once, no matter what. If it's still tied after both team have had the ball, then it's next score wins.

rideshort posted...

So a TD doesn't end it anymore at the 1st or 2nd possessions?

Not in the playoffs. In the regular season it does.

First postseason game with the new OT rules and it's in the Super Bowl. Can't make this shit up.

Holy shit, what a nerve-wracking game this is

They left Mahomes plenty of time. Let's go Chiefs!

Tie game!

And it paid off. Touchdown, Niners lead. And the extra point is blocked! That might matter!

Very ballsy 4th down decision.

rideshort posted...

Why the fuck did you touch the ball? Idiot!

It hit his teammate in front of him (who was focused on blocking and not looking at the ball) first, so he had no choice but to try and recover it at that point.

Touchdown, Chiefs! And it's to one of the captains in my dad's DraftKings lineup too!

rideshort posted...

Basically whoever makes the biggest mistakes loses the game.

Right on time

We went from a record standing for 30 years to that same record being broken twice in the same night. Wild.

Bud light just needs to bring back the real men of genius commercials.

Man, that's a throwback. I haven't heard one of those in a long time.

Chiefs offense has been dead. 16 straight drives without a TD going back to their last game.

Well, this second half is off to a terrible start.
