  1. Your biological cousin is madly in love with you and has confessed 3,909 times. One day you catch them stalking you. Do you approach them about it, and what do you say? What single emotion would you most like to never have to feel again? What video game or anime character would you most like to spontaneously come into existence and have to live with you? You meet Atok Niiro in person and it turns out that in private he's actually a narcisstic, substance-abusing asshole. Do your feelings about his work change, and how? If you knew that was likely to be the case in advance, would you avoid meeting him to find out for sure?
  2. A trolley speeds down a rail with a human tied on the track. You have access only to a lever which shifts the trolley to a second rail which has a collection of small and cute animals tied to it so that they will all be killed instead. How many, (or what kind) of animals would it take for you to not pull the lever? The dimensions have collapsed and you are the sole human survivor. You can freely choose what kind of world you live out your days alone in. What do you want your new planet home to be like? You are trapped on a deserted island. You may not bring anything with you, but you can have one other person stay with you. Do you have anyone over, and if so who? If Dobby as a character had never existed, what would your username be instead?
  3. What video game or anime character would you most like to spontaneously come into existence and have to live with you? A trolley speeds down a rail with a human tied on the track. You have access only to a lever which shifts the trolley to a second rail which you have been told has 0, 1 or 2 people tied onto it. Do you pull the lever? After being trapped in a building for a much longer amount of time than you expected, you step outside only to find out the apocalypse occurred while you were trapped. There are still scattered human survivors but the world is now largely toxic and dangerous. What will you do now? Are the circumstances in your life largely dictated by you, or things around you?
  4. A drug is made publically available that prolongs life indefinitely, effectively creating immortality. Do you take it? When do you start? How long do you take it for? A trolley speeds down a rail with a person you like, and all of the people you hate most, tied to it. You have access only to a lever which shifts the trolley onto a second rail with an equivalent number of people, none of whom you know. In regards to the person you like, for what kind of person would you -not- pull the lever? The dimensions have collapsed and you are the sole human survivor. You can freely choose what kind of world you live out your days alone in. What do you want your new planet home to be like? Referring to the group of people whom you recently met up with, what about each of them betrayed your expectations the most?
  5. Which anime or game would you least like to be trapped in? What habit of yours do you most want to break? What's keeping you from doing so?
  6. A passing spirit offers you a choice: You may sacrifice any skill you have (in which case you may never do it again) in return for becoming equally good at a different skill. Would you take the deal, and what would you trade? You're a character in a fighter game! What kind of moves do you have?
  7. A drug is made publically available that, without adverse effects, lets people feel happy and content at all times as they go about their daily lives. It is highly addictive, but people are still functional on it. Do you take it? How frequently? After being trapped in a building for a much longer amount of time than you expected, you step outside only to find out the apocalypse occurred while you were trapped. There are still scattered human survivors but the world is now largely toxic and dangerous. What will you most miss about your life before?
  8. You're a character in a fighter game! What are your 'taunt' lines/poses? You are trapped on a deserted island. You may not bring anything with you, but you can have one other person stay with you. Do you have anyone over, and if so who?
  9. You've gotten stuck in the Reborn region. Where do you want to make a home? A trolley speeds down a rail with a human tied on the track. You are tied to a second track but can kick a lever which shifts the trolley onto the track that would kill you instead. Do you kick the lever?
  10. how do you feel about bears?
  11. someday.I make no promises on time because my backlog is mighty and strong. A number of years ago I had an encounter with a rain spirit during a fierce storm. Though others will probably be skeptical of it, I could hear and feel her sorrow, and it affected me greatly. I wanted to reach back out to her, so I began talking to the rain and for a time, considered that spirit my best friend. So, rain became something that was very relaxing for me. I still always open my windows or step outside to say hi. Anyway, after a while because of that and because of the similarity to my name, I just started going by it. It fit.As a side note, this is not dissimilar to a story Amaria used to tell about her experience with an ocean spirit that saved her from drowning. In the game, this spirit was replaced with her Lapras, Deliverance. However as far as the real Amaria was concerned, our mutual experiences with these spirits were something that lead us become closer friends. I will not forgive you for before. There is nothing to forgive. You did nothing wrong, and my salt is at the fact that an accidental similarity like that exists, not at you for pointing it out (lord knows you're far from the only one anyway.) I will apologize if my tone in that topic suggested I was cross with you; it is not the case even remotely. I can appreciate it. I'll take it. Ikaru also suggested Renamon, which is cute but idk too much about that either. Eh. It'd be a little awkward, but whatever. I already know my parents stalk my social media and youtube, and it wouldn't be the first time my father was on my forum (he was an active member of the community I ran when I was like 13). As for my sister, she's into roleplaying and MMOs so it's not like it'd be too out of character for her. I wouldn't mind in her case.
  12. i have to pause these episodes like every five minutes to cry tbh i also have a preference for zetsubou-hen because I have been dying to see what the SDR2 cast was like on the outside ever since finishing that game. also, having read DR0 I know a little more about the events leading up to stuff and I really want to see some of that actualized in the west (i,e not in the form of a verrrry shoddy fan-translation). obviously there's no ryouko otonashi (cries about it) but I can't imagine how they're going to go over Izuru without (DR0 spoilers... uh, if i remember correctly?) On the other hand there's not nearly enough time for that in a 12-episode season I think so bleh. i will also be very disappointed if we don't get to see some crisp mikan x junko action. what.. I still enjoy mirai-hen plenty though. I also don't trust Ryouta not because of two-gami impersonating him but because according to his profile he is in the 77th class (i.e, the SDR2 cast's class). So since the ryouta we've seen in zetsubou-hen is twogami, where is the real one??? I also very much do not trust Gekkougahara because of something I saw pointed out... (Ultra Despair Girls spoiler)
  13. You mean like the fusion generator, or manually making the edits? I played with the generator a little bit and it was kind of silly. I haven't done any manual fusions. It can be neat but it doesn't interest me enough to do much with it. Most of them were idea'd (i can't verb right now) and drawn by members. The credit goes to you guys! (or more specifically the shiny spriters listed in the Readme). For the ones I did, it was just a matter of what I thought would be cool, extravagant, pretty, or what I thought fans of that Pokemon would like. I answer to no man. I uh... real life color?? do you mean hair color?? If that's what you mean, my hair is red.Well my hair is red even if that's not what you mean, but who's counting. Someone asked something like that before and goodness it's hard to remember.... Oh. No, I know what. At the start of the gator wars, there was a cache problem on the site which resulted in some members' pages being shown by our host to other users instead of the actual page. So like, someone would view a topic as themselves, and then everyone else after that that viewed that topic would see it as if they were logged in as the user that first viewed the page. It took us a while to first figure this out, and certain users got stuck in popular pages. I was around when it started and people were reporting it, and telling me how they were turning into other users and nothing was working right and blahblah anyway there was one point where I legitimately had to ask the server, "okay can anyone else become tacos by clicking on their fezzdog?" (of course everyone could). It doesn't sound like much in retrospect but I found it pretty hillarious among the confusion, not to mention the rest of the silly mess that ensued from that incident before the site started going down outright. Drama keeps it interesting. ^~^ Besides, if there wasn't so much drama, we wouldn't have much of a game now, would we? Nope.Though if I seem less active than I used to be it's for a few reasons: I don't have to force activity in order to keep the site alive at all I have always preferred (being a part of) small communities rather than large ones. If I did not own this community, I probably would have moved on by now. Fortunately, I do own this place, and I have no intention of ever leaving it behind. Anyway, it's less cozy for me in a large place like this. Still worth. I don't spend as much time here because I have to budget my time better than I chose to in the past. I don't like that word tbh, "pastime". It makes it feel like the point is to kill time rather than to enjoy whatever one is doing.Anyway, making games. duh. Though I can only do that for so long before I sort of exhaust my energy for it, I still enjoy that best in-the-moment. Dangan Ronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls. I started it when it came out but just finished it last week after not speaking to the game for almost a year because of some rather gross stuff in it. I really want to like Phoenix Wright. It's a neat concept. I've tried to like it several times. But the series just never manages to keep my interest.especially after playing the similar-but-objectively-superior Dangan Ronpa main series games. The ending of the series (not counting the OVA) was a little ??????? but okay. Episode 13 was sort of repulsive. Despite those things I really love it and Yuno is one of my favorite characters in anything ever. I played a little of a very early version, and I played a little more of it when I wasn't able to use my hands, so I was controlling the game via voice input... made for an iffy experience on both accounts. Having not given it a proper run through I don't wish to comment on it, however the differences apparent between the two versions I saw were quite impressive growth. The world is just based off of the map I drew. The story and characters are just based off the league. That doesn't leave a whole lot left. Though I will say the many of the puzzles are probably heavily inspired by Golden Sun, which I consider the holy grail of RPG puzzles. Amaria. I uhhh... I don't actually know any Digimon, sorry. I only watched a couple episodes and I don't remember them by now. :c How can anybody choose just one?????anything from hiimdaisy, hyperbole and a half, history of japan, incorrect FE quotes, or inuki himself, is pretty great.
  14. because this morning when I asked y'all stuff it was like pulling teeth tryna get you to give a proper answer : I

  16. oops there were things here, hi Because he won, and I chose him, and I loved him and now I'm gone. Aha, but there's no point in specifying "vegetarian dishes" for me, as if I eat anything else. French onion soup (though one does have to be careful since it is often made with beef broth) Curry rice (tofu instead of meat) Grilled artichoke French dip (I make it with vegetarian lunch meat and of course a non-meat gravy) Spicy ramen (actual ramen; not the instant stuff, also have to be careful since most dashi includes bonito flakes. miso base is frequently safer than shoyu but i prefer a vegetarian shoyu (which is usually what I make for myself))

  18. ... awkward. I'll just fix that right now. Look, this is about the train. Not the unruly station attendant.
  19. I was originally going to put the link back up with E16, but if I can keep this pace up, I'll consider it. Way ahead of you. ^~^ It should be fairly predictable, but I still have all the other wards to go through.Animations? This Focus Blast comes from Inuki. I'm about halfway done with Peridot now. It has more hot-spots than any of the other wards so it's been a thing. No numeric progress, but you can have this: Where are you going?
  20. In the online league it was forbidden. However, (particularly given legendaries are not currently commonplace in Reborn) I could imagine it being allowed as part of a special challenge. Anything is edible if you care little enough. I'm really glad it's a thing, and I think it's promising for what it could become. But I think it also has a high chance of wearing off with its own novelty if it doesn't get adequate updates or support. Currently it's lacking a lot for me to be able to consider it a good game.Also... stability is a thing. With so many players I get it, but I haven't been able to play at all at any time of the day for the past couple weeks due to it crashing or refusing connection. Absolutely not. Male Kirlia are beautiful just as they are and they don't need you telling them otherwise. It isn't currently a priority or goal, but in a worst case scenario someone could mod it in if it never happens. If that mod appears to be stable, we could maybe take into the main download too. EV reducing berries are available fairly early on, so you can train as you go to an extent. Also, new items will be available in E16 to help EV training. Although many players would probably be 10/10 fine with giving Blake a swift kick in the balls, it would be supremely out of place for a non-speaking protagonist to do something like that. Kuro has talked about this in the past, but an action like that in itself carries a lot of personality, which is extremely jarring for those players who enjoy imposing their own personality onto the player. Although I understand it's also frustrating in a sense to be so passive, there's a middle line to be toed. tbh I just pulled up a list of crystal names and picked out the ones that sounded like they could be made into good place names. I really like crystals. I always have (after all, I'm kinda named after one.) So when I was thinking of what the region's naming theme would be, it was an obvious choice. Frankly I'm surprised it hasn't been used in the main series yet. ...Though it's gonna be seriously awkward now if it ever does. My real identity is actually John Cena. Of course, you didn't see that coming. I'm-- sorry, people are fascinated with what now?? No, stay out of my basement. That's reserved for... people closer to me. You know? Smeargle's more or less right. Probably final episode, level cap probably won't raise until post-game if at all. It's kind of hard for me to measure it, especially since there are a lot of fans who don't follow me anywhere or aren't on the site. I really have no solid idea of how widespread it is or isn't, but it's already far eclipsed my expectations (considering it was originally a project strictly for members of this community).Publicity is sort of a double-edged sword with fangames though. If they get too big, then it gives Nintendo more of a reason to fly in and make everyone sad. Even aside from that consideration, I am not really the type to advertise. I never have been. I post the game on three sites (here, PokeCommunity, and MP (a small community of about 20 active people)) and that's it. I would much rather spend the time I could be advertising, working on finishing and improving the game instead. If it's good enough then people will tell each other about it. This is what I believed from the start, and I'd say it's proven itself, frankly, way more true than I'd ever imagined.
  21. Yeah I've been having trouble with the download page, and many of the other links no longer work + Mega doesn't work in certain countries and such. Here's a new link for you: EDIT: Just kidding, that link got copyright'd immediately. The local one is back up on the game download page.
  22. i've got this 'friend' you should meet, her name's teleport. you two would really get along well.

  24. I played 4 and it was okay?? but never really got into it. idk i was probably like 12 at the time, i dont remember much about it.But um, since then I've come to really really dislike zombies so I haven't kept any interest in the series. I'm not even aware of the new direction. evil x evil = 2evil4me I can see what you mean, but I don't think it's pessimistic. To me, love is more like an emotional closeness based on trust, openness, respect... that sort of thing. How can you trust someone at first sight? And maybe others can be open with people they first meet, and I envy that sort of person, but I sure can't. So "love at first sight" just doesn't make sense to me at all.Now for the part that is pesimistic. In terms of propinquity, which is a neat concept I'd forgotten, I really don't even trust my own judgment with people anymore. So all of that for me personally is just kind of a null grey zone right now. I mean I think we've all had negative relationship experiences. But, it's more like my entire relationship history as a whole has been a mess. Certain people who know me better can attest to the fact that it is one kerfluffle after another. So that hasn't helped.I'm concerned that a lot of people who read this and have been around for a minute are going to jump to conclusions about a certain other person here who it's known I've recently broken up with, and what I'm referring to. However, to be honest, that relationship was probably still the best I've had even given how it ended. Maybe that's fairly telling in itself though. Not for a second. I have few regrets when in life, and especially not when it comes to this place. I think that was me, but I don't remember for sureMost of the dialogue is probably just written for the game by me since even if the events are borrowed from the league there is -no- way I'm going to remember the exact phrasing of anything beyond a leader's battle quotes, or their most popular ones. Of course, I will continue to try and write in the characters' voices. I don't read as much as I would like, not nearly. In fact it's pretty scarce. But I am a sucker for Victorian literature, be that written in that time period, or about it. Obviously. I wish for 11:11 as often as I can too. Can't pass up opportunities like these. Higurashi is one of the few shows I really like in which I don't have a clear favorite. But I think if I had to pick one, it would be Takano. I know that is the objectively wrong answer for so many reasons, but I kind of have this thought like, I hope I can be as cool as her when I grow up. Also I really like the way she talks (in Japanese, i haven't heard English). When I get comfortable enough with the language that I can start practicing a natural-sounding accent, I think I'll probably make an effort base it off of her speech.Rika's cool too, don't get me wrong. But in terms of favoritism, Shion, Rena and Hanyuu would all still be above her for me. Autumn. his? he? terra is definitely a girl in most timelines... anyway.It's not ideal for the tension arc, and she's not the sort of character I would normally write. But it's gotta be based on the league, so, if somewhere had to be lighthearted, the circus seems like the place it would be. If this were written from the ground up, she probably wouldn't exist. I will say I appreciate finally being able to actualize the deal with her being a shady sort of hacker though. That was something I'd had planned since wayyyy back in Season 1, it just never came up. Similar to Cal's hair being naturally blue, in fact. I do. I lift the spirits of everyone around me! <3 I.. hit a parked car when I was learning how to drive... shut up. No, but it should probably be illegal for me to drive anything that could hit one. Because you're cute, silly, and should be taken care of, like any good pet. Durr. Fembois are best boys. I want more of them in the world. Rarely. I strongly support the Hachiman x Totsuka pairing. There might have been one or two other things in the past I can't recall. idk, because you're bad. :/ I think we talk a bit less now, so it's a little more distant? And I've changed a lot so we're probably not as similar as back then. But the general theme aside from those isn't much different. However, I will rescind what I said about playing games with people before. As much as I love games, I can no longer accept them as anything that might remotely resemble healthy interpersonal behavior. So, it probably wasn't an ideal practice back then either. I'm inclined to apologize for it, but I won't. It's also funny to me how I said that you might actually need to do something like that for someone one day, when it turns out you already had even if I was denying it.
  25. Alice. ​​​what ​​​​i want a fox. youre not supposed to keep foxes as pets. but if we set that aside. i want a fox. Despite not liking the type, there's several Pokemon in the type that I do still like. Top is probably either Marowak or Gliscor. if a budew replaced monokuma then I might actually come back to the side of hope. Nothing comes to mind. It might have been nice to get the bloody speed boost blaziken out because man that thing ran through so many teams and like once it gets going against grass or steel there's just next to nothing that can be done about it Greninja and Aegislash in 6th gen seemed similar, but I wasn't able to work as closely with the leaders at that time so I don't want to say there wasn't much we could do. It's very possible we just didn't find or play the proper solutions. Despite these Pokemon, I wouldn't actually have changed it, in the interest of keeping the playing field level and sticking to a consistent rule set. However it was definitely frustrating at times. Probably Mimmikyu. But let me talk about this, because everyone seems to love this Pokemon, and I really just... don't. I like it best out of the current group but something about it bothers me. The prospect of a ghost/fairy type sounds fantastic to me because i really like both those types and the contrast they provide. What I dislike is the fact that this Pokemon which is so cute by wanting to be loved and trying to be Pikachu is a very specific personal trait and choice that somehow... applies to the entire species??? if it was just a single pokemon of any kind that was doing that then, sure... but why is that something that's genetically coded???? but i mean it's still my favorite of this small bunch, just that's not saying much. i dont like mudsale. it looks dumbsauce. Considered though for the record I wouldn't use anything for Prism since that was made especially for a different fangame, and I also try not to pick things that are immediately recognizable (to me, at least) such as the very trumpety clear hoenn theme. It's not. Life is simply unfair, isn't it? Bibs is fine. But a stupid Pokemon. So two days tops. that is a lot of crystals. I'd have to sell most of them naturally. They won't do me any good all locked away, and I don't mind sharing. Also, it would be almost meaningless if I had them all. I don't really actively seek out or buy amethyst most of the time. I just make sure to keep the ones that call out or come to me. the only thing that exists at first sight is lust. that said, as you allude to, i usually don't even get that far without knowing someone first. French onion soup. I'd rather be alone. And that last part depends on what's going on and how effectively it does its thing. But I'll try to survive as long as I can appreciate doing so. I would try to find and help any other survivors get back on their feet together. And then, when I run out of medicine, I'll take my own life. Get noticed, kid. I made it on impulse. I keep making it because I enjoy doing so. I don't have an answer for that. For the most part I just wake up and try and do my best at the things I enjoy. I think anyone could do that. Pizza. Besides... most veggie burgers fall apart really easy. I mostly drink water. If I care enough that day I'll have tea. If I care little enough that day there's no telling. 5'5 Predictable being my favorite, but Gardevoir. I don't think it's inappropriate though, given my inclination to want to protect the people I care about, and the whole emotional resonance thing hits pretty hard for me since I have a tendency when I talk to someone a lot to start forgetting my own emotions in favor of adopting their habits and responding in line with what I think their expectations are. In the past I've played guitar, bass, violin and cello, though I haven't kept up on them. For a while I was also the drummer for a band in high school. I also still play the keyboard and sing occasionally. Oh, and I got a launchpad recently that I'm really interested in learning to use but I've had other priorities. I work as a youth counselor for juvenile males transitioning back into the community. My goal is to finish Reborn and get Starlight underway so that I can focus on games full time. Star Wars. Not a huge fan of it but it's okay, I like the world building... and I've never seen Star Trek. There's so many gifs I could put here but all of them are against the rules. Absolutely not. I'm not opposed to it, but more usually I take it up with the people saying the things first. Does drama count? Drama. Deffo.if it doesn't count, idfk, english or something was mindless. Chemistry was my worst, like I said before.Alternatively I've never taken a physics class, but I bet that would've been the same cuz I shadowed one once and fell asleep in it immediately. I'm really interested in it, but I'm not terribly confident in my abilities. It's a work in progress. I'll keep practicing though. Mostly I just look up words whenever I see an unfamiliar one. Also I follow a couple vocabulary blogs on tumblr. They're really good for finding rare words randomly, learning about them, and then forgetting about them for the literal rest of your life. Timeboxing. Just a small personal agreement with myself that whatever I don't want to do I'll just do it for ten minutes. Usually it happens that I'll get into it and do it for a lot longer than that.Otherwise I just make myself do it. Even if I don't want to do something, I can still make the choice to do so. In that case it's usually like, what is the next specific action I have to take right now? No looking ahead. No checking the time. Just one step after another. Although it's turned out to be somewhat harmful, it was thinking something like, even if I want to, there's no point in trying to talk to or make friends with anyone else like this. But if I keep working hard, maybe one day I can be worth something, or worth enough that someone might want me around. Oops.
