I don't play seriously enough to need a small amount of mains.

So my "mains" in the sense of characters that I use a lot:
Marth
Roy
Chrom
Ike
Robin
Corrin
Snake
Wario
Zero Suit Samus
Toon Link
Mr. Game & Watch
Incineroar
Wolf
Daisy
Palutena
Bowser Jr.
Belmonts

Honestly though, a decent chunk of them are the characters I played in Brawl (which I played a tooon) and still enjoy.

1. Avengers: Infinity War
2. Incredibles 2
3. Venom

...Those are the only 2018 movies I've seen. And the latter two are just because my friend asked me to go. I really don't watch many movies.

I wonder how happy the Dead Cells team was with that whole incident. It was so much free advertising for them.

I hadn't even heard of the game before that, and I ended up buying it because it looked really fun.

Most of them are good, though. I only dislike the DS remake of 1 and Awakening.

All I can say is "good luck".

I tried the series earlier this year starting with rebeating KH1 (beat it years and years ago), then CoM, KH2, and Days.

I got to Days, which was in movie form on the collection, before the plot got a little bit too goofy for me.

Namely I think there were like literally 4-5 Soras running around at that point.

I love the Disney worlds and stuff, and the series has a lot of charm, but the plot gets pretty silly after a while.

Oh, and to add to my own post, I was also getting really burnt out at that stage too. I beat KH1/CoM/KH2 + watched the movie in like a month-and-a-half span. I do intend to return and at least do BBS at some point.

Speaking of W. Eirika, that banner was extremely kind to me.



I did 1 full pull on my free summon round (15 orbs) + popped two on the next round (for 9 more) and got them. Their IVs are solid too.

Good luck getting anywhere without them on a free to play mobile game.

There's actually quite a lot of content that can be cleared with 4* "trash" coupled with the handful of freebie 5* they give you.

That said TC, you should pick Lyn and Veronica when offered.

Yeah, at this point, you get a free:
-Legendary Ike
-Fjorm
-Eir
-Free pick from the second Brave banner (of which all of them are amazing)
-I think you still get a free pick from the first Brave unless that expired?

Fjorm/L. Ike/Eir/any of the second Braves/B. Lyn or B. Ike can take you pretty far from just free 5*s.

There are also a lot of 4*s that can put in a ton of work.

These honestly. If you're smart with your orbs and have any luck at all, you can get most of the units you want without ever spending any real money. You just need to not pull on every random banner and only go hard when there's a unit that you really want on a banner.

I'm near the end of CS1 and thus far it's a hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard no.

Not that Persona is perfect with length and pacing, but CS is one of the worst games I've ever played with it. You could genuinely chop off about half of that game and accomplish the same stuff. The game meanders around so hard without accomplishing literally anything.

I hear that CS2 is better, but I'm not honestly sure if I want to keep going. CS1 is becoming a huge chore that I'm forcing myself to finish (just completed chapter 6 this afternoon, believe I'm pretty close to the end).

Reggie said that all of the DLC characters would be from franchises that don't have (playable) reps yet. So, sadly, no chance for an FE character unless he's mistaken, even if Hector deserves his due.

My guesses:
DQ character
Phoenix Wright
Banjo-Kazooie (I think they'll try hard for them just due to the hype they'd bring)
Sora

Hey man, he got 4 people to cheerlead him and agree that it's bad

Very helpful in the long term

If there was something that I could realistically do about it, I would do it, but there really isn't. If something happens and my aunt can't take him in, or there's something that I'm needed for, I'd certainly volunteer. But given that they're halfway across the country and that my aunt seems to be taking the appropriate steps in pursuing custody, there isn't really a lot that I can specifically do for the time being.

I said upfront that it's a bit of a blogfaqs topic, but it's a pretty stressful situation and one that I needed to vent about. Not being able to do much is part of the frustration.

-Apparently it was more due to fighting than specifically the pot, but the pot was the final straw that caused them to kick him out.

Fighting with who? If pot was the final straw, what else has he been getting up to? Are there other children in the picture? (you mentioned granddaughters) Is he a danger/potential danger to the rest of the family? What else have they tried in the past? Therapy, counselling, law enforcement?

I don't agree with what your cousin did, but there might be more to the story than we're getting here.

Per everything I've heard, it's just a lot of arguing.

The background that I've heard is that their family moved away from their old home over the past summer. In the process, they left behind their family (both sets of grandparents, mostly) and friends, and moved into a remote house in the mountains. When they did so, the cousin's son got really irritable and argued with his mom in particular quite a bit, because he didn't want to move. According to my aunt and what she knows, there hasn't been any physical violence involved.

I don't think he'd ever hurt either of his sisters. He gets along really well with them. The last time I saw the kid, which was a year and a half or so ago, he was helping a lot with the youngest daughter (a year and a half old at the time), and while he'd argue with his other sister (7 years old or so, at the time), it wasn't anything beyond typical brother/sister arguments, and they'd get along otherwise. My aunt and other cousin have both attested to the fact that he loves his sisters and would never hurt them, and neither has heard a word about something like that happening. I don't think that he's a danger to the rest of the family.

As for what else they've tried, I haven't heard anything, but I'm not positive there.

I got hit by a speeding car as a kid, which was the driver's fault, as she was outright speeding around a sharp turn.

I was also in a small accident as the passenger in my friend's car. It was my friend's fault, since he looked away from the road as he pulled out for whatever reason.

Tc, there is one good thing I've seen with this; and that's how the rest of the family seems to have rallied around your aunt and her grandson. At least she has a support network made up of you and the same parts of your family, that has to count for something.

Yeah, for sure. I've always been really close with my aunt and my cousin (her daughter, not her son who I don't care if I never see again at this stage), and my mom and grandparents are all behind her as much as they can be.

Honestly, I wonder if she'll end up moving down to MO from PA at this point. She was mostly staying up there to be around her grandkids, but one of them is getting disowned (and she's going to try for custody), and it sounds like she'll be unlikely to get to see her granddaughters again with how my cousin is acting. Meanwhile, her parents, sister, niece/nephew, and daughter all live in MO. If things pan out as they seem to be going, I could see her just moving down here for good.

The latest as of today: My aunt is still here (today was my grandpa's last day of radiation treatment), but apparently my cousin went to the uncle's house and collectively my uncle and cousin were both trash talking my aunt (AKA, my cousin's own mom and my uncle's ex-wife), as well as said that my cousin's son "has always been weird, even as a baby", and evidently are planning to try to send him off to some sort of foster home or mental institution. My aunt is still planning to sue for custody, but she's now worried that they're going to send the son off before she returns.

I don't know what the trash talking entailed, but what I've heard is that they were talking about her "as if she were a dog", which sounds terrible, especially for my cousin to be saying about his own mother just because she took in the son that he abandoned.

On a totally unrelated note, my other cousin, who lives down here, had her house broken into today. I feel really terrible for my aunt in all of this, as her grandson is being abandoned, her son is treating her like absolute shit, and her daughter was just robbed, all while her dad is still fighting off lung cancer (though, he's thankfully recovering overall, so hopefully things are looking up on that front) and she's trying to help plan and pay for her daughter's wedding. Everyone in my family is pretty stressed right now, but my aunt in particular is under an insane amount of pressure right now.

My aunt is visiting at the moment since my grandpa has been having health issues (lung cancer), so the kid is staying with my uncle for the time being.

The latest on the situation:

-Apparently it was more due to fighting than specifically the pot, but the pot was the final straw that caused them to kick him out.

-My cousin came by my aunt's house and talked to his son a bit the day before she left, but the cousin pretty much said that he didn't want to take the son back.

-The son called his mom from my uncle's house to apologize to her, but she didn't accept the apology and wouldn't take him back.

-My aunt fully intends to sue for full custody once she goes back up there.

That's all she's said. She's clearly upset about it and hasn't wanted to talk about it that much (that, and my grandpa has been in rough shape and was back in the ER today, so it's been tumultuous regardless), but that's what she's told me anyway.

To be fair, at least two of them are in already.

Matt Mercer/Yusuke as Chrom, and Xander Mobus/Joker as the announcer.

Not sure if Erika Harlacher, Max Mittelman, or Cassandra Lee Morris are in the game at all offhand though.

...But yeah, I'd imagine that it would be pretty crazy to be asked to record a trailer like that.

maybe theres probably more to this? the weed thing may have been the one that broke the family. dont be surprised to hear new details and expect the worst to be said about the cousin.

so in family issues like this, sides will be taken and the truth is in-between the half truths.

all relationships involve communication and theres a breakdown of it if you see family cutting each other off from this.

I've been wondering this one too honestly. The only info that I have right now is based on my aunt calling my mom and telling her, and then my mom relaying it to the rest of the family, so I don't really know if there was something else that set all of this off or not.

I believe that's the plan. My aunt is going to pursue custody after this from what she's said.

Hopefully, for the kid's sake, she doesn't have any trouble getting custody. I'd disown my cousin for some shit like this tbh. Bad parents can improve but abandoning your kid is a piece of shit thing to do no matter what.

Yeah, from what my mom said, my grandparents are pretty much disowning my cousin entirely, and my immediate family is pretty livid at him as well.

My other cousin (who lives in MO with us, as opposed to PA where her brother/mom/nieces and nephew including the abandoned kid all live) is pretty devastated. She's supposed to get married in the spring, but her mom and brother are being torn apart by this.

As far as I've heard, my aunt is pursuing everything for custody. She's a little bit worried about how things will go with my cousin's daughters and if she'll ever get to see them again or if they'll end up getting taken away, but I believe that she's already pursuing it.

My cousin's wife has always been super, super strict and basically the definition of a helicopter parent. Well, apparently their son got caught smoking some pot, so they took him to my aunt's house (3-4 hours away from them) last week and left him there, then cut off all communication with my aunt. He hasn't been able to go back to school or anything for the past week, and they won't take my aunt's calls or anything to even talk about it.

I knew the wife was strict as hell, and that my cousin has always been a little bit aloof, but I never took either of them for the type to legitimately abandon their son. I'm pretty damn mindblown right now, while also being pretty disgusted with my cousin for doing that.

I realize that this is a bit of a blogFAQs topic, but I needed to vent it a bit because I'm pretty shocked.

I have two of each, and there are pros and cons to each.

Dogs require more attention, but they're more actively loving and more responsive to commands. They're pretty consistent and will generally always want love and attention.

Cats are much more self-reliant, but you never know what you'll get with their attitudes. They can knead you, nuzzle against you, purr, and fall asleep...then wake up and want to go off on their own and they'll run from you.

They both make for great pets, at the end of the day.

A mentally ill man threatens Peggy and functionally makes Luanne a slave in order to fulfill his desire for a "perfect family" which is the family he saw on a label, and one in which he's the pig of all things, breaks down, and is slaughtered.

It's pretty damn dark.

As soon as a character goes onto the banner and matches the leak, it's all over, as that would instantly confirm the entire leak.

Any character update on the mural will be enough, if their position and posture matches the leak then it's a confirmation.

I guess it's possible they could change it but seems unnecessary unless they really want to drip feed the characters that are left.

Yeah, that's what I mean really. Even doing a single reveal as part of another event could confirm the entire leak.

That's why I think they may hold off and reveal the rest in one go closer to release. The leak is already everywhere, and it'll blow up insanely hard if it's totally confirmed like that.

If they have a Smash direct they cant just not reveal anyone. I say the direct will either confirm everyone or no one, that's the reality were looking at here.

What I mean is more that they may wait until the very end (like a week to a few days) to do any more reveals/a Direct at all, just because doing one soon would risk giving everything away at this stage.
