Which Fire Emblem on 3DS?

Noice. Which one? Awakening?

I want to play the new Metroid when it goes on sale in 2021

Awakening, I guess. Whichever once is first. I know I have both games installed on my 3DS with the uncensored patches, which I think just includes bikinis and lets you massage some boobies or something like you could in the Japanese version. It will be the ultimate waifu experience.

Look at this fuckin noob, thinks there's only two Fire Emblems on 3DS.

^ flaming and off-topic. Please only talk about sports. Thank you.

Isn't there 4, but 3 of them are like the red/blue/yellow versions?

Yes and there's a (bad) DLC full campaign for Fates so it's sort of like 4.5. They're all good in their own ways besides that one.

Yes it's a Mr. Poopybutthole joke. Cousins has a sophisticated brain for sure

They have a character with that name?

I recognize it from Rocket League, but they don't call him that in the game

Yes, there is a character named Mr. Poopybutthole who says "ooooo weee" on Rick and Morty. I promise it's actually funny in context.

I actually saw a Mr. Poopybutthole episode this morning and I laughed out loud. He's a great character! The show's annoying fans can't change that

I don't have a high enough IQ and the jokes are too subtle for me

I actually agree that your IQ is too low to get it.

I'm looking at ESPN's all important power rankings. It occurs to me that with how loaded the best teams are now, we would all have pretty much identical division winner predictions. Unless you're going with your gut, there isn't really a strong argument against the Astros, Indians, Dodgers, Cubs and Nationals atop their divisions. The only one I see any good chance of fluidity is the AL East between the Yankees and Red Sox.

I mean, I guess you can imagine a world where the Twins did enough to sneak past the Indians, but that's pretty much it. The Cubs adding Darvish made the Cards or Brewers passing them really unlikely.

The AL East is the hardest to pick and then I think the NL Central is probably the second most likely to flip. If the Mets are perfectly healthy they could be dangerous too and the Nats are always in danger of flailing.

The league is rigged in favor of Cleveland this season so Chief Wahoo can have one last glorious season

They have the Rockies at 13, not bad. Or I should say not good because the Rockies seem to flop any time they have decent expectations

As an old man I've become far more interested in the actual Poll of the Day here than I ever was as a legit PotDer. As of this writing, 98 poll respondents said they are browsing gamefaqs using a home game console. Love to hop on the PS4 and use the web browser to read my forums.

The weird part about it is that more people do that than a portable console. I've used the browser on my 3DS before and it's not that bad, but navigating the internet on a home console seems like it would be a pain

Here's some baseball news https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/979036891407355907

That dude is a next level dumbass.

The secret "charity" is the Trump campaign

69 and 420 is funny tho

I bet he enlisted the help of comedy genius Logan Morrison for that one.

Logan Morrison's twitter handle is @CupOfLomo. Is that a pun? Anyway please regard his twitter bio, which will never not be horrifying:

To know me is to Tweet with me! Seattle Mariners OF. Twittaholic. I'm not a licensed physician but I'm always down for a game of doctor. I love lamp...

That's the most frat bro bio ever

I've always considered baseball players to rank highest among the four sports on the douche scale

I never would have ranked it like that, because I never watch baseball and I've never thought about the douche scale for sports

NFL players have gotta be at the top. No other sport can compare with the amount of off the field violence that NFL players have perpetrated over the years.

Maybe "douche" isn't the right word. Not like... general horrible person douchiness, just bro douchiness. So many MLB players are upper-middle-class white guys from coastal and southern states. Of course there are going to be bros.

Yeah probably. Plus plenty of guys who just seem like assholes

Hockey players have their own distinct brand of douchebag

Yeah same with hockey

Hockey is like the opposite states and Canada, though I've certainly seen a lot of obnoxious hockey players.

Today it started raining and then I think it turned into hail, but it was like the size of snow, so I don't know if it was just some very hard-falling snow, and now it's definitely actual snow. All this happened in like ten minutes

Sleet..?

Yeah I think that's what that would be

It doesn't sleet much in Colorado so when it does happen the concept is inevitably pretty foreign to me

I got my car back yesterday and today it started smoking on the drive home so I'm gonna get it towed again. Has anyone in history ever struggled as much as I?

DOUCHE RANKINGS

1. North American hockey players
2. White baseball players
3. Soccer players
4. Football players
5. European hockey players
6. Non-white baseball players
7. Basketball players
8. The Subban Family

Please separate all sports by race in your rankings.

KAT just set the franchise record for points in a game with 56

The Avs and Nuggets are both going to fail to make the playoffs what a waste

Where the hell did the Blues come from

St. Louis

AFAIK things are looking up for the Avs thanks to the Duchene trade, but the Nuggets probably aren't going to make the playoffs for a long time now. I don't see any of the current playoff teams facing a big dropoff, and then you can add the Lakers to the mix when they get Paul George, and maybe Memphis since they'll get back Conley and a high lottery pick. Jokic must only have a year left on his current contract, I'm almost thinking they should just sell high on him and tank. I'm tired of a decade and a half of fringe playoff/low lottery Nuggets teams

Well fellas we survived another off-season. Good luck to all of our favoritest teams!

Except for Jimbo

Yeah, good luck everyone!

I'm curious to see how the Giants and Rockies will do this season. It should be a pretty competitive division, but I'm hoping these two teams can stand their ground against the Dodgers and D-Backs. We shall see.

AL West

Astros
Angels
A's
Mariners
Rangers

AL Central

Indians
Twins (WC2)
Royals
White Sox
Tigers

AL East

Yankees
Red Sox (WC1)
Blue Jays
Rays
Orioles

NL West

Dodgers
Diamondbacks
Giants
Rockies
Padres

NL Central

Cubs
Cardinals (WC1)
Brewers
Reds
Pirates

NL East

Nationals
Phillies (WC2)
Mets
Braves
Marlins

Same, except I think the Mets will get the WC instead of the Phillies

The only tossups for me are the second wild cards. There are some decent teams in the AL but only a few great ones. The A's or Jays could both be good, and in the NL the Brewers should be decent as well as the two wild cards from last year. The Giants are in trouble though because of Bumgarner
