All my stuff is packed but I'm too afraid to actually (try to) leave.

People would think by now I'd have gotten over Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta being included in Smash Brothers 4. To be honest... no, I haven't. I am every bit as ****ed off as I was when they were announced.

Spoiler for Hidden:
1: First off, THEY'RE ALL THE SAME GUY! They're each edgy, overly serious human characters with excruciatingly weak and unlikable personality, TWO of which wield swords and one is incredibly masagonistic.
2: Were Roy and Ryu not grand enough that we needed THREE MORE OVERLY SERIOUS HUMAN CHARACTERS TO ADD TO THE UMPTEEN WE ALREADY HAD, PLUS THOSE TWO!? I mean, god, seven DLC characters, and FIVE OF THEM ARE THE SAME ****ING TYPE OF CHARACTER!? K. Rool. Wolf. Banjo. Ridley. Inklings. Rayman. Ashley. Geno. Bomberman. NPC Villagers. etc. There are so many characters they could have added from games that deserve more love that actually would have DIVERSIFIED the roster instead of watering it down with a type of character that PLAGUES video games these days.
3: Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's most overrated franchises. The gameplay is just so watered down, and it's characters and stories are horrible. So what if Corrin can turn into a dragon? He/she himself/herself is still human. Bayonetta is one of those typical sexist games with a smoking-hot protagonist in a world where basically everything except those oh-so glorious humans are evil. You could argue that a lot of demon characters are helper characters, but that doesn't mean they're not evil. Final Fantasy 7 itself isn't all that overrated (I think it actually deserves a lot of the praise it gets) but Cloud himself is EXCRUCIATINGLY overrated. I mean, in all seriousness, it's pretty hard to make edgy, overly serious human characters that ARE likable, but none of these three even come close.
4: Would three anthros or three whimsical humans piss me off less? Yes they would. I would be more than happy to get three more anthro characters. Three whimsical human characters... wouldn't exactly make me happy, but I would NOT be anywhere near as angry. Anthro characters are almost never playable in games anymore, and even a VILLAIN anthro playable would be welcome. Heck, whimsy in general is barely existent on the Playstation and XBox consoles. So yeah, three characters belonging to an underrepresented archetype would anger me less than three belonging to a PAINFULLY OVER-REPRESENTED archetype.
5: Nintendo is one of the last holdouts for color and likable characters, which makes their inclusion that more painful. They could have helped diversify the roster. They could have added three different types of characters. They could have done SO MUCH MORE THAN ADD THE THREE ****ING CHARACTERS THAT PEOPLE PLAY NINTENDO CONSOLES TO GET THE **** AWAY FROM!!! But instead, they pander to the lowest common denominator. Same thing happened with Pokken, instead of having a nice, diverse roster with decent bulky Pokemon to round out the stick figures, the roster is made ENTIRELY of fast Pokemon, almost all of which are stick-figure Pokemon. If this was any other company, I'd probably have gotten over it by not, but this is Nintendo: the LAST HOLDOUT for whimsical games that don't insult your intelligence by making everything dark, gritty and emotionless. **** YOU NINTENDO!

...And that is why I can't get over their inclusion. Believe me, I tried yesterday and the day before. I could not get over the fact they were included, and will likely resume never playing the game again. The only thing I have to look forward to in that game anymore is the Sheik nerf.
what did they add krystal yet?

Keep in mind they included those characters based on a survey that was made, I think something like 60,000 people responded. Those responses indicated that those characters were the characters people wanted most, so really they were just giving what the public wants. Blame the public in this case if you feel you need to xD

I'm currently very upset.
Can't stop thinking about something that happened. I get even angrier and more sad when people say it's MY fault.
They always say it's the victim's fault... the whole PD supports me but it's these nasty people who don't understand that not everything can be prevented. People have no idea how utterly destroying it is to say that to a person who's been assaulted, especially when they don't even know the situation.

I admit that there were more things I could have done to protect myself. But I did what I could in the very brief moments before I was violated. I was completely petrified, completely alone, and it was the most terrifying situation I've ever been in.

I feel bad about changing Benny's species in the book to a giant rat, and my mom doesn't like Rat Benny, and yet... I've already grown more attached to him that Almiraj Benny. I have a soft spot for bunnies... but I adore rats more. That, and I can never get Almiraj Benny's expression right.

That only holds true for Bayonetta, and that's if Nintendo wasn't LYING about the survey just so they didn't have to add another anthro character to appeal to those "Oh so disgusting furries." Cloud and Unreleased Character had nothing to do with the survey. Those two characters didn't need to be in a game that was actually fairly diverse before they showed up. Those spots could have gone to keeping the roster diverse instead of ruining it.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't have a bias against furries, let alone, there are plenty of popular "anthro" characters that could have been in, but weren't, and you just have to deal with it. Not everything like that is anti-furry >.>

OT: I can't stand this consistent state of boredom that I'm in whenever I'm home. It makes me wish that I could just stay at work all day half of the time.

Just kind of rolling through the motions of extreme stress, may need a meds adjustment next time I see my psych doctor. The constant panicking is unfavorable to say the least.

I just went on the single most disgusting place on the internet. It was really great. An eye opening experience for me, truly eye opening.


I saw people hating on Jews like it was still the 1930s and the internet was Germany, people saying race mixing is bad, saying they'd shoot transgender people or promoting doing such things, overuse of the N word by people who clearly are whiter than Siesta Beach.


I'm surprised I didn't see someone saying that the KKK did nothing wrong ever.


I'm sure some of it was irony but it can't all be and a lot of it came of as genuine hate.


Makes me miss my days as a silly misanthrope.

I feel bad about changing Benny's species in the book to a giant rat, and my mom doesn't like Rat Benny, and yet... I've already grown more attached to him that Almiraj Benny. I have a soft spot for bunnies... but I adore rats more. That, and I can never get Almiraj Benny's expression right.

People would think by now I'd have gotten over Cloud, Corrin and Bayonetta being included in Smash Brothers 4. To be honest... no, I haven't. I am every bit as ****ed off as I was when they were announced.

Spoiler for Hidden:
1: First off, THEY'RE ALL THE SAME GUY! They're each edgy, overly serious human characters with excruciatingly weak and unlikable personality, TWO of which wield swords and one is incredibly masagonistic.
2: Were Roy and Ryu not grand enough that we needed THREE MORE OVERLY SERIOUS HUMAN CHARACTERS TO ADD TO THE UMPTEEN WE ALREADY HAD, PLUS THOSE TWO!? I mean, god, seven DLC characters, and FIVE OF THEM ARE THE SAME ****ING TYPE OF CHARACTER!? K. Rool. Wolf. Banjo. Ridley. Inklings. Rayman. Ashley. Geno. Bomberman. NPC Villagers. etc. There are so many characters they could have added from games that deserve more love that actually would have DIVERSIFIED the roster instead of watering it down with a type of character that PLAGUES video games these days.
3: Fire Emblem is one of Nintendo's most overrated franchises. The gameplay is just so watered down, and it's characters and stories are horrible. So what if Corrin can turn into a dragon? He/she himself/herself is still human. Bayonetta is one of those typical sexist games with a smoking-hot protagonist in a world where basically everything except those oh-so glorious humans are evil. You could argue that a lot of demon characters are helper characters, but that doesn't mean they're not evil. Final Fantasy 7 itself isn't all that overrated (I think it actually deserves a lot of the praise it gets) but Cloud himself is EXCRUCIATINGLY overrated. I mean, in all seriousness, it's pretty hard to make edgy, overly serious human characters that ARE likable, but none of these three even come close.
4: Would three anthros or three whimsical humans piss me off less? Yes they would. I would be more than happy to get three more anthro characters. Three whimsical human characters... wouldn't exactly make me happy, but I would NOT be anywhere near as angry. Anthro characters are almost never playable in games anymore, and even a VILLAIN anthro playable would be welcome. Heck, whimsy in general is barely existent on the Playstation and XBox consoles. So yeah, three characters belonging to an underrepresented archetype would anger me less than three belonging to a PAINFULLY OVER-REPRESENTED archetype.
5: Nintendo is one of the last holdouts for color and likable characters, which makes their inclusion that more painful. They could have helped diversify the roster. They could have added three different types of characters. They could have done SO MUCH MORE THAN ADD THE THREE ****ING CHARACTERS THAT PEOPLE PLAY NINTENDO CONSOLES TO GET THE **** AWAY FROM!!! But instead, they pander to the lowest common denominator. Same thing happened with Pokken, instead of having a nice, diverse roster with decent bulky Pokemon to round out the stick figures, the roster is made ENTIRELY of fast Pokemon, almost all of which are stick-figure Pokemon. If this was any other company, I'd probably have gotten over it by not, but this is Nintendo: the LAST HOLDOUT for whimsical games that don't insult your intelligence by making everything dark, gritty and emotionless. **** YOU NINTENDO!

...And that is why I can't get over their inclusion. Believe me, I tried yesterday and the day before. I could not get over the fact they were included, and will likely resume never playing the game again. The only thing I have to look forward to in that game anymore is the Sheik nerf.

Keep in mind they included those characters based on a survey that was made, I think something like 60,000 people responded. Those responses indicated that those characters were the characters people wanted most, so really they were just giving what the public wants. Blame the public in this case if you feel you need to xD


OT: I am trying to study for this exam but there's no good resources available to study!

That only holds true for Bayonetta, and that's if Nintendo wasn't LYING about the survey just so they didn't have to add another anthro character to appeal to those "Oh so disgusting furries." Cloud and Unreleased Character had nothing to do with the survey. Those two characters didn't need to be in a game that was actually fairly diverse before they showed up. Those spots could have gone to keeping the roster diverse instead of ruining it.

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't have a bias against furries, let alone, there are plenty of popular "anthro" characters that could have been in, but weren't, and you just have to deal with it. Not everything like that is anti-furry >.>

OT: I can't stand this consistent state of boredom that I'm in whenever I'm home. It makes me wish that I could just stay at work all day half of the time.
considering  Animal crossing,  Starfox, and Mario wearing the equivalent  of a Tanookie fur suit I have to agree ,but on another note I really wish they'd just add Krystal if they don't screw up her moveset she has the potential to be the First Starfox character in Smash bros that doesn't follow the 'fox clone' moveset.
