Current Events > I admit it. I'm depressed because of recent video game news.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know it's a really stupid thing to be depressed about, but I couldn't help but feel this way.

Then you probably need to seek help because that's quite alarming.

I guess.

what is it
---

Maybe not even seek help, but you at least need to look for more out of life cuz there's better things to get sad about than video games lol.

are you depressed because of the news, or are you sad because of the news?

or, if you are depressed because of it, do you think its possible that the news is simply triggering a larger depression in an acute way?
---

I am too.

They ruined Halo.

Maybe "depression" is too strong of a word, just "sad" I guess...but you could be right that this is triggering a larger mental illness I have, I dunno.

What news

*sighs*

A character I strongly despise being in Smash Bros. is...returning to Smash Bros.

I know, it's stupid....

We're all sad that Nintendo shrank Samus's bust.

She's the Scarlett Johansson of video gaming.

Nobody can seem to make up their mind on how to use the term "depression" now. Don't worry about it.

Nah...it's not Samus related. I don't take Metroid that seriously....

Let's dig deeper; why does video game news make you sad?

You're doing a disservice to people that are actually medically depressed by saying your "depressed" because of video game news

I'm genuinely sorry...I just feel really sad, though....

Theres a lot of great games coming out: Red Dead Redeption 2, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Metro Exodus, Dead or Alive 6, Soul Calibur 6, TLOU 2, Gears of War 5, REmake 2 and The Elder Scrolls 6 is in the works.

Unless none of that interests you there is no reason to be depressed

I suppose. Maybe I should just move on to Soul Calibur or Dead or Alive....

So your sad because a smash character you don't like is returning to smash

youre doing a disservice to somebody that may be medically depressed that assuming this episode is not a symptom of a larger issue. which, by the way, does a disservice to not only medically depressed people, but everybody else too :) perhaps try a little empathy?

@PikachuMaxwell, consider seeking some help in some way or another. i know therapy and counseling are expensive, but if you can afford it, it really is a wonderful thing, whether or not you have any actual mental health issue to attend to.

Yeah, but I have a unique reason for not liking him. I won't admit it's the best reason, though....

Nope, none of those guys.

Well, I do have a therapist. I guess I should consider seeing him soon. Thank you for your patience with me - I realize this seems trivial, but I can't help how I feel.

The perfect bait topic. Say something outrageous to get people's attention but keep it partly a mystery.

Fine. It's Pokemon Trainer.

yeah, give him a call tomorrow when his practice is open! set a reminder in your calendar. im glad to help.

and youre right, you cant help how you feel. last night i was crying in my chair because my date got rescheduled, my housemates left my kitchen a mess, and my friends hadnt texted me in a few hours. thats a series of trivial things that all really sucked because my brain is making everything harder. so its totally normal if a trivial thing sets you off like this, and the best thing you can do is take care of it :)

you can dm me if you ever need to! im not great at checking but ill always respond

How can you hate Pokemon trainer ?!

Better than my case. Im so depressed all the good news rolls right off me right now.

You wouldn't understand.

But if you insist you must know: I just take Pokemon way too seriously. Yes, I was the user Mr. Snorlax1986.

Sounds like some serious bullshit to me but ok.

Then play as the girl trainer

Snake?

Snake!?

its dark pit isn't it

I know why he's mad. Because with Pokemon trainer here again Charizard lost it's spot and with that spot it lost it's final smash of transforming into Mega Charizard X as well as Rock Smash as a move because Down B is the switch button, that's alot to lose even if you are no longer forced to switch pokemon and switching pokemon doesn't leave you open to an attack from an opponent, they come out really fast now but not fast enough to string together any combos.

Some people are also assuming Greninja will not have it's Ash-Greninja transformation as it's final smash

I know how you feel TC, I'm angry Corrin returns because of his bullshit range, but it's a roster of 66 characters this really only matters in games where you play to win.

Nobody knows who that is

Just answer the question tc

I did a quick google search on the name and found this in someone's sig. I don't know if this is an actual quote from Mr. Snorlax1986 though.

I think Pokemon Trainer is Republican cause I think he's like a cowboy.

Yes...that was me. *sighs*

@tremain07 Yes those are justifiable reasons I suppose.

If it helps, I feel pretty bummed out that Zelda and Shiek are still different characters. Even with the massive roster. I just... I really loved getting to transform between them. Because of this, I barely played Smash 4 despite owning both versions.

TBH I'm probably irritated at Pokemon Trainer too, come to think of it, since they're still allowed to do something similar.

Thanks for understanding. I understand your problem as well.
