Damn a DnB has that stuff? The coolest thing the DnB here has is the Halo arcade game and maybe Tekken.


Its not DnB but it resembles one from what I looked but theres more. It has bowling and party rooms and loads of other games.

Dude hates RPGs for example but keeps playing them (incorrectly in some ways as well) and shits on them while his fans eat it up.

He has said himself that you shouldn't take his views on those sort of games seriously because he's not a fan of them, so is going to be biased.


The problem is his fans take his word as gospel and parrot his opinion everywhere. For a while, you could barely talk about Octopath because people would come out of the wild saying the same things Dunkey said in his video. I like the guy but his fans are awful.

Probably the only Youtuber I watched play video games outside of LTG. Would have loved to see him finish games like P5, Nier Automata and watch him play the newer stuff like Three Houses even though he would have never finished it. Its going to hit harder when Deltarune releases.

The dude was mad entertaining and it still upsets me that people clowned on him when all of that went down earlier this year. From what Ive read, he died on June 22nd even though his belongings were ground days before and the video was uploaded days before as well. If thats true, its heartbreaking if he saw how people reacted to the video and still went through with suicide.

Im not even fazed anymore if I get fucked over by someone Im seeing or a potential partner. In fact, I expect it to happen eventually. Maybe the girls here in the Midwest of the U.S. are just garbage tier.

One thing I despise is when your friend gets into a relationship and then they suddenly forget about you. Theyll ignore you texts and not show up to hang out because this special someone entered their life. Then, when the break up happens, that same person remembers you exist and comes crawling back. I wont ask for them to pick but at least find some sort of balance. Dont decide to show up when shes either unavailable or she left you.

I only deadlift once per week since I find the risk of injury to be too high despite good form. I do warmups as well. Ill load up 1pl8 and do 2 sets of 5 reps to make sure my form is good. Once thats done, Ill set the weight to 185 lbs and do 2 sets of 5. Then 205 lbs and 3 sets of 3.

Once Im doing 225 lbs at 2 sets of 3, Ill change from overhand to mixed just to make the lift a little easier. Ill usually stop here unless I want to lift heavy for that particular day. If thats the case, Ill inflate all the number above and max out at 315 lbs for one set and rep.

May not seem like a lot of weight but Im not the biggest guy youll encounter. I only weight 125 lbs at 57. However, it works for me and I see results.

Whatever they decide to do, it needs to follow the roots of ME1 and ME2 without the Reapers. Mass Effect was at its best when the player was just a lone specter traveling the galaxy and solving mysteries. The conflicts, lore, setting, etc. are already interesting enough. We don't need some huge galaxy ending threat to face.

Who do you want to main?


Robin tbh


A very solid character. I use Robin every now and then. Robin has a variety of tools to work with. Levin Sword, though limited, has good knockback and high KO potential. Thunder may seem useless but its a good poke move. Elthunder is good for zoning and edge guarding. Arcthunder is good for shield pressure. Thoron is amazing. Use the Levin Sword for knockback then snipe the opponent with a well placed Thoron. This may take practice against human opponents.

Arcfire is good for a combo or follow up. Its also good for ledge trapping. Elwind is very useful. It can be used to safely spike or edge guard opponents. You can also use it to escape an opponent edge guarding you by changing directions on the second wind.

Just make sure you dont spam some of these moves. Otherwise, youll be at a severe disadvantage if youre out of tomes and the Levin Sword. Make sure to mix up zoning and close quarters. Robin has disjointed hitboxes which gives the character higher priority. Robins grab range is fairly poor so only go for a grab if you know youll get it. That goes for Nosferatu, too.

As far as general Smash advice, know your movement options. Dont keep jumping or double jumping at every chance. Use shorthops and aerial moves since theyre quite decent for Robin. Dodges and rolling are useful but make sure you arent doing those too often or else you become predicable. Same goes for shielding.

Edge guarding or chasing your opponent off stage is important. Off stage gameplay is vital because some characters will take forever to KO because of their insane recoveries. This takes practice to get decent at so dont be discouraged if you fail and SD a lot. You dont always have to chase your opponent off stage but it does help to know how to do this. Throwing out Arcfire while they are at the ledge or something is an option. There are certain characters you probably shouldnt follow like Wii Fit Trainer but you learn this over time.

As far as knowing to play against certain characters, youll have to get in many matches probably online or at locals. Luckily, most people follow a flowchart so once you play against a few Joker or Ness players for the example, youll know what to expect from most of them.

Playing 1v1 matches will get you to improve for sure no matter what. As long as you understand what youre doing wrong when you lose, youll get better. I wouldnt say Im some great player or anything but Ive had the opportunity to play against a few of the pro players. Some of the matches were close and I did win a few but not a lot. I figure that I at least know some things. Smash Ultimate is purely fundamentals. If you can figure out how to properly space your attacks, play mind games, read your opponent, and punish when the opponent makes errors then youll get far in this game.

-Obsessiveness. Ive met way too many girls who will text me as soon as they wake up and wont stop until they fall asleep every single day.

-Controlling. That probably doesnt need explanation.

-Any type of discrimination.

-Bad manners. If I introduce you to my family, please do not be swearing like a sailor or belching loudly at the table.

-Good health and fitness. Just try to live a healthy lifestyle and stay in decent shape.

-Bad hygiene.

-Talking too much or being very loud. This is just a personal pet peeve but Im not much of a talker. People who talk just to hear themselves talk or people who are always loud do not mix well with me.

She just referred to missing half the pokedex as "nitpicking" (at 6:12 is when it begins)

"I'd still like better cutscenes, companion pokemon, complete pokedex, and a more visually interesting wild area, but nitpicks are just not very effective when everything else was such a complete joy to play"

The way she totally buries it in there is such a damage control attempt. Like it's "oh just another nitpick"

It's half the fucking pokedex. That alone would drop it off two full points of any review, and that's assuming everything else is completely 10/10.

No, it's nitpicking

Less than half the pokedex

is not a nitpick


Its a new region with new Pokmon.

Its a nitpick.


Hundreds of Pokemon missing from the game is a nitpick? One of the biggest appeals of Pokemon is using your favorite mons.

You could use your favorites in other new regions as well by transferring them over. Dont forget that people have kept mons for years from older games and transferred them to the newer games.

Its not a nitpick at all.

This. I find the original game to be incredibly overrated. It's charming and the artstyle/ascetic is nice. I like the atmosphere. I don't like the map system and I don't like the combat. Hollow Knight feels more like busy work to me than an actual fun game. Maybe I'll try it out again one day because there are things I really like about the game but there are also things I really don't like.

You clearly have never tried arguing this. You saw one or two complaining over the years and thats lead you to making this post?

Trust me. If you tried arguing this shit before Sword and Shield you would have a mob of super upset Pokmon fans descend on you like a SWAT team. Ive never seen an entire fan base so afraid of change worse than Pokmon fans.

Its obvious you have never been to a Pokemon board or fan site or whatever because people have been calling out GF for years.

Ive never seen a fan base so afraid of change worse than Pokemon fans.

You shouldnt have even said that because you just shot yourself in the foot. Pokemon fans have been asking for changes or new mechanics for years. People get upset when GF introduces a new mechanic in one game and take it out the next game. People have been wanting a proper hard mode for a long time. People were excited when they thought Sword and Shield would have 18 gyms because of how different it was. There are two sides to the fan base. Those who want change and those who like things the way they are. Different people want different things. I shouldnt have to explain this to you. If you said Some Pokemon fans are afraid of change and would attack you for suggesting it then you would be correct but you didnt.

Feel free to say Im wrong or I dont know what Im talking about. Youre not actually going to counter my points because you never do.
