Could you confide in a close friend, and ask if they can pretend to give you the nickname you want to give yourself? You could even orchestrate an event where they say, "Hey everyone, from now on we should call X, Y lololol"
bold of you to assume I have friends, and even if I did 1) Id still be giving myself a nickname and Id just personally feel weird about that and 2) corona

Because I gave the name to myself. Just to name I thought of. But here's the unwritten rule, you really can't give yourself a nickname. A nickname has to be given to you. And I've never been given a nickname before.
Ive never related to anything this hard. My name isnt that bad, but Ive always thought I needed a nickname because it only half fits the way I act and doesnt fit the way I look at all. The thing is I dont have one and giving myself one feels like trying too hard and just super cringe.

Could Luke not have waited 10 minutes? They could have taken them on.

DISCLAIMER: I am not bashing the episode. It was an amazing episode other than this.

I waited three episodes to watch these guys fight that army of dark troopers. I know Mando 1v1d one of them, but that was basically all the action you see out of them. It hyped that they were going to fight for like 10 minutes(dark troopers come back after being ejected into space, walk down the hall menacingly, start punching down the door) and then Luke comes and slaughters this entire army of robot badasses with literally no resistance, takes Grogu, and the season ends. I waited three goddamn episodes and thought this was going to be the most hype battle to ever be on this show and then Luke comes and stops the fight before it starts. I feel betrayed.

As far as I'm aware they aren't planning one. Did something change recently? I'd be hyped for one. Always hold a special place for me cause I got world first (well, for the international release) on the everqueen (2nd hardest super boss) on that game according to the online tracker thing. One of the 3 first places I've ever gotten (first to complete MH3U guild card and 1st for a short while in the book of the guilty in dark souls 1). Kinda sad considering how many tens of thousands of hours I've spent playing video games but oh well.
I googled it and it said Monolith Soft said it was coming to Switch. I finished the original Xenoblade and wanted to play another one, when I found out X had mechs I was sold lol

I wouldn't say it's hate, but disproportionately small percentages of the population have been emboldened in recent years to hijack conversations and make everything about them.

Case in point: Ford vs Ferrari. A historical drama concerning car makers in the 1960s.

The outrage: too white, too male. Use of fossil fuels.

Because obviously that historical story needed purple haired non binary amputees of color with cognitive and ambulatory disabilities to tell the story realistically. It also needed electric cars and veganism.
whats your deal with purple hair boomer

Sure he would have. He's still a competent fighter, even with his injuries, and between his personal attachment to Shulk (who's all but his son-in-law, with all the paternalistic protective drive that entails), his compulsion to try playing the hero even if it wasn't the best idea, and sharing 100% of Shulk's motivations for setting out in the first place (namely, seeking revenge against the Mechon for killing Fiora), it would be downright implausible if he hadn't joined them in some capacity.
Youre contradicting yourself. What do you think he should have done? You say its impossible for him not to join the heroes and then you say that he cant be a hero.
They almost got him killed twice, on-camera (once in the prologue, then again during the attack on Colony 9), with at least one more instance being revealed through a Heart-to-Heart (he talks about fleeing with Fiora during a mechon attack years prior, but going back into the house to retrieve a keepsake she wanted despite the danger). The argument can also easily be made that he's taking a similar risk by joining Shulk's adventure despite his injuries, though he doesn't end up suffering any more near-death experiences than the rest of the party for it.
The prologue was out of desperation. If he hadnt almost got himself killed Bionis would be swarmed with Mechon. Same thing with the raid, he went and got the Monado even though he wasnt strong enough to use it because he was desperate to defend the colony.
(though her regrets about being reckless tend to focus more on not wanting Shulk to worry than on Dunban's safety) (stepping away from the question of whether or not it was reasonable for Shulk to intervene and ignoring the wholesale slaughter of Face units in the late game).
Youre contradicting yourself again. Why do you make this argument if youre just going to argue back at yourself as me?
Back story is still story, and is no less significant a part of character development than stuff that happens on-screen.
Mumkhar and Gadolt both got sold short because most of their story was backstory or happened off-camera. And when they finally do get some development they die right after. All Mumkhar ever did on-camera was try to murder Shulk and Dunban, but the game hints to a backstory not explored anywhere. Gadolt had that flashback where hes shooting at the Mechon wreckage, and thats about it.

Dude, I don't think anyone else has the problems with Dunban that you seem to. He's perfectly believable for what he is. This is a weird hill to die on.
Ill still die on this hill. His flaws werent meaningful enough to matter, so they might as well not exist. Something bad happened to everyone else because of their flaws. Reyn jumped to conclusions and was reckless, so he had a hard time keeping up with the new understandings the party was always coming to. Sharla was obsessed with Gadolt, and that gets her when she found him as a Mechon pilot and it totally devastated her, Seven was too shy to do something they could have done a lot of times, Riki was only there because he was paying off a debt that he most probably could have avoided, and this game just loves torturing Melia. Shulk was kind of a free pass because of the Monado, but he felt like a more compelling character to me because he never did any fighting before this and experienced all this for the first time, while Dunban was a war veteran who had most of his first time reactions off screen.

The character flaws are in how he handled the disadvantageous situations. He wants to be the hero, even when doing so is almost impossible (this shows up multiple times in the prologue, main story, and heart-to-hearts) and trying in spite of that is overtly self-destructive, and when he fails because Shulk is just so OP (again, for good reason, but nobody knows that), he ends up feeling insecure about his inadequacies. This scene really highlights it (again, mid-late game spoilers):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otg0CoES8Co

It bothers Dunban that he isn't the one that's saving Fiora, and Riki ends up reassuring him that it's okay to just take a back seat because his "kids" are grown up enough to handle themselves. That notion of not being the hero anymore is something Dunban struggles with the entire game, which is why he tries to lead the party despite not being the obvious main character.
But if he wasnt a hero anymore he never would have left the colony. The fact that he even fights with you in the first place is proof enough that its possible. Also, with the exception of his arm(which was more of a story thing than it said anything about him), nothing bad ever befalls him due to these supposed flaws, so they can just be ignored.
By JRPG standards, 30 is pretty ancient. Even with Xenoblade's unusually-old party, though, he's the oldest homs in the group by a large margin, a veteran war hero, and had to grow up faster than usual to effectively become Fiora's adoptive parent after their parents died. It's well within expectations that he'd at least try to be the mature one of the group, and also that the occasional crack in that facade would be picked up on by Riki (the actual mature one) or that he'd periodically lapse into making rash, immature judgements (pretty much any time Mumkhar was involved).

That's basically every JRPG character ever that isn't specifically characterized to not fit those descriptors (i.e. deliberately portrayed as cowardly or unlikable).
By JRPG standards yeah right. All of those traits are found in everyone in the party, but he just takes them to the extreme. I kind of adjust for the JRPG stuff in my head, and in that context everyone else seems believable. If we were actually in that kind of situation, the bravest among us could at least somewhat fill the roles of the other party members. But there could never be a Dunban because despite his doubt his inadequacies never meant anything.
