  • It's always sounded quite conceited and egotistical of us humans when someone says something is "universal" - like, "universal concern" - when the vast majority of the universe doesn't care or know at all. Why not stick to "global", at most?
    Been playing BlazeBlack 2 again, and wow is Iris the absolute worst character in Gen V; she's utterly useless.

    In BW, she appears in Castelia to temporarily serve as Bianca's bodyguard, then in Opelucid to tell some part of the Reshiram/Zekrom legend (and as Gym Leader in White, instead of the much cooler Drayden). Oh, and she also appears at the end of the story along with most of the Gym Leaders to stop Plasma's Sages, but that's not exactly special to her alone, so...

    In BW2, she again appears in Castelia, to guide the player to the Sewers - that's it. She disappears for the rest of the game, and later turns out to be the goddamn Champion, replacing the far more interesting and worthwhile Alder.
    WORTHLESS CHARACTER. Why make this useless girl the Champion? Completely undeserved.

    Is Iris as bad as XY's Diantha, though? She also does literally fuck-all throughout the game; she doesn't try to stop Team Flare, she only appears two or so times for brief chats, and she doesn't even remember your name when you do make it to the Champion's room.
    Y'know, Pokemon would be a lot better if A) model animations were livened up, ala PBR on Wii or Colo/XD on GC, and B) model animations (like, say, flying or floating) inherently affected gameplay - for example, flying/floating species inherently being immune to Ground. So stuff like Mega Charizard X, Haunter, Magnezone, Bronzor, Beedrill, Venomoth, etc. would be Ground-immune without needing Levitate.
    Goddamnit Susan, why'd you have to set a weekly meeting for 12-2pm every Thursday? Taking up lunch time? For boring nonsense? Fuck youuuuu.
    Akina, True or False: The first Pokémon movie was created by the Warner Bros in Japan before their deaths in America. And it was known as The legend of Mewtwo.
    Hi, Akira. Say, In the first movie of Pokémon, Ash and his friends meet three other Pokémon trainers and the royal queen of new island. But unfortunately, she was not the queen of new island. She was Nurse Joy. Also, Mew was very cute and adorable. Because it is a baby Pokémon.

    Fun fact: I like the idea of a brainwashed Nurse Joy, abducted and forced to serve as a puppet. I've liked the idea ever since I was a child; is that weird?
    Also, technically Mew isn't a "baby Pokémon" (like Munchlax, Bonsly, Mime Jr., etc.), but a Legendary one, and its first design (in Japan's Red/Green) is...very much not cute or adorable.

    Mew is said to be "the ancestor of all known Pokémon" (presumably excepting the Creation and Lake trios, from Sinnoh, and Jirachi and Deoxys, which came from space, and perhaps Kyurem and stuff too...eh), so that's why it's got that design.
    I've been playing Octopath Traveler lately, for something to do; previously dismissed the combat and Job system as worse than Bravely Default's, but the former is alright - the Jobs here are shallower, though.

    Also not nearly as much inter-party communication or anything, which is disappointing. Though my least liked character has to be Primrose; did she have to be so bloodthirsty and violent? Ugh, I hate violent women, so I can't stand her. Why couldn't she be more like Agnès Oblige, in personality?
    It's sad that there has only been one brand-new Legend of Zelda game since 2013's A Link Between Worlds - that being the mediocre BotW. I'd love to play another game in this franchise, but the dearth is truly unfortunate.
    I do hate how macOS got rid of FTP recently; it means I can no longer connect to my 3DS or Switch through FTPD homebrew apps.
    I love balsamic vinegar; if I could, I'd drink the stuff. Slowly, of course; I hate sculling a nice drink.

    Just stating how much I love balsamic vinegar.
    Persona 3 was unique amongst the modern Persona games, since the PC wasn't the first one to awaken his Persona; he's among the last, with most of the team having already known about Shadows and stuff for some time. Ever since, the MP has been among the first to awaken.

    In P3, Mitsuru, Akihiko, and Yukari were already knowledgeable about Shadows, with the first two having been fighting them for a while; Shinjiro also had a Persona, but quit for a while due to...personal issues. Then there's Aigis, who was constructed years ago to battle Shadows.

    Meanwhile, in P4, the PC is the first to awaken his Persona; in P5, Joker is the third, after Morgana and Goro. This means they don't really have more experienced teammates to help and teach them; they're left to figure things out on their own, unlike P3's protag (Morgana kinda counts for Joker, but...eh).

    Also, Shadows had been around for years in P3, meaning there was history behind this version of the Metaverse; in both P4 and P5, it seems to be a relatively-recent and unknown phenomenon.
    Now that I think about it, SSB started out with its Fighters being dolls or figurines, but transitioned to the Fighters being the actual characters themselves in 4 and Ultimate.

    So why does Kirby lose his infinite flight? Sure, game balance, but in-universe? Does he consciously limit himself?
    Originally it could be waved away by "it's not the real Kirby", but not anymore.

    Better question: how do they get to the fighting area? Just magically teleport there? Master hand just picks them up and chucks them over? There could be like a lobby area where fighters wait for their turn of something.
    Hmm...I'm finding I'm not as entertained by YouTube videos as I once was; I'm scrolling through the suggestions, but nothing jumps out at me like it used to. Maybe I need a change of pace?
    I'm sorry guys, but I need a break from GBAtemp; I need some time to myself. I might come back next year, after having that time to myself.
    "Request membership" for a group? That's new; I've always been able to just join whichever group I wanted, in the past - then again, Groups have only existed for a few months.
    Well, I've had a headache all day, and it has only worsened over that time. Hopefully I'm not getting sick...that'd suck, so close to New Year's.
    Oh, and my Mum has also had a sore throat all day too, and started getting a headache in the evening, so it's not just me.
    Surprised there's not many "Top 10 Worst Games of 2021" videos, when they used to be quite common over the last several years...
