Scanman

My son just got his 3rd baby vaccine. 3 weeks old and stuff.

Actually Bebop is quite restrained compared to some stuff nowadays... But yes I'm sure some people are disappointed she doesn't look like a barbie.

Jeff Hicks, MechaRandom, Tom, and I think 1 other person (or a weekly guest) are all co-hosts of "The High Council" which is a shittier version of WCBs normal show. WCBs is actually funny sometimes, The High Council is rarely if ever funny. I've listened to the show on and off for a while, because I really hate Disney Star Wars and they constantly shit on it, but I'm wondering if it's really worth the time anymore.

Couple of thoughts about this: One, viewership of both American Football and Basketball are dropping partly because of all this BLM bullshit. People don't like getting lectured about unfairness by millionaire jocks/celebrities (of any race). Also Milwaukee and Phoenix aren't very popular NBA teams. Not trying to defend the NBA at all but it is definitely true. I'm not surprised that soccer viewership is rising in the US. What is surprising to me is that people here in Vietnam will stay up until 2 A.M. to watch some teams they have NO RELATION TO AT ALL. There are no Vietnamese players in the Euroleagues, and even if they were, they're not playing in a national team tournament anyway. I watch tournament steams of FG tournaments, but not at 2 am, and I actually have a chance to meet and interact with FG players. Soccer fans have no chance to meet their favorite players. It just seems like a huge waste of time to root for teams outside of your country and who you'll probably never even see play in person. People find a lot of ways to waste their time, and sports tribalism is definitely one of the strangest to me.

I watched all of them through Fast 5, which is before they started saying "family" in every goddamn line. I really like the first movie, 2 is okay, 3 is.... controversial, 4 is good, and everything after that is just way too much. This is supposed to be a movie about street racing. It is not that, and hasn't been since Tokyo Drift. The main character's been dead for 2 movies and they're still making them. Leaves a poor taste one's mouth.

What's up dudes. Child is arriving in 2-3 weeks. Still not freaking out yet.

All this strategy RPG talk is making me want to replay FE: Awakening... ngl I wanted to do that already. But the backlog calls!

I'm gonna play Journey next. I know I'm approximately 13 years late but I don't care. Backlog reduction son. I'll go ahead and finish Flower and Flow as well. Those 2 are kind of... barely videogames though.

Sup pimps, Just finished Shin Megami Tensei 4. No more JRPGs for a while, they take way too damn long.

For me it's King Dice. 7 of the 9 mini-bosses to get to him aren't too bad, but 2 of them (Pirouletta dancer and Mr. Chimes- the monkey) are damn near impossible. AND THEN you have to fight King Dice as well. I only beat him because for some reason the game glitched and he went into a pose (he produces cards that run on the ground) but for some reason no cards came out. So I just sat under him and kept shooting until he died. I think most of my deaths in the game come from Baroness von Bon Bon (candyland woman). Until I got the homing weapon, which finally allowed me to beat her. 3rd would be Dr. Kahl's Robot (the same one you mentioned). Flying levels are tough.

Fellas, It's taken 9 or so months (since July), but I've finally beaten this game they call... Cuphead. And now I'll probably never play it again. I don't hate myself that much lol. Edit: I only play it once a week or so. During the same time I have about 500 hours of DBFZ lol.

James Chen YET AGAIN ignoring that forums STILL EXIST while lamenting the lack of forums and the ubiquity of Discord. Doesn't he have his fan discord as well? Not sure if there's one for Ultrachen.

I would guess they'll put SSJ4 Vegeta in since they've obviously made his model (you see it in the SSJ4 Gogeta intro) and they're all about re-using assets. But it definitely seems the lifespan is winding down. At least they nerfed UI before they abandoned the game.

I knew it would be something like this. But if he can get to level 7 in one combo that is a problem.

I wonder if it's actually like that.... Does he have a powerup move or something? If it's actually like that then he banned for sure. It's not even slow and avoidable like 16's instant kill. Nor does it hurt him. Something tells me it's not actually like that.

Probably the biggest problem I have with Skullgirls is that the combos last -forever- and the hitstop for individual hits is quite high. Strangely this exact same problem (combos that are too long) doesn't bother me as much in DBFZ. Except against Super Broly.

Did the Saudi purchase of SNK actually happen though? I heard it was on pause. I also heard a rumor that some Japanese corp was trying to take back ownership of SNK.

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone. After doing the tests, it seems the fetus does NOT have Rubella nor Congenital Rubella Syndrome (CRS), so it seems disaster has been averted. I'm so glad this shit is done with. I'm not an emotional guy at all, even I was tearing up while sitting at my desk thinking "What the hell am I going to do if the baby is born deaf and autistic?" Thankful that it isn't the case. PS It's going to be a boy, so in August there will be a little Scanman

So I've been MIA for a while because I was in my wife's hometown (literally BFE) for Lunar New Year. We are actually expecting a child due in August, but the situation is very grim. My wife contracted Rubella (German measles) 2 months ago. It has almost no effect on adults, but its effects on early-development fetuses are apparently catastrophic: deafness, irregular heartbeat, and a whole collection of possible mental problems. Tomorrow we're going to get an amniocentesis (spelling?) test to check if there's rubella in the amniotic fluid. If there is, we will have to "terminate" the pregnancy (that sure is a nice way of describing something so terrible...). So that's what's going on in my life currently. Wish me luck.

word

I think Max is great and wholesome. I don't watch his videos all that much, but you could certainly do worse for an introduction to fgs. DSP, on the other hand....

Happy late New Year everyone! Hope people have made resolutions and whatnot.

Is this you throwing RockB?

What's up?

What is this "Bladerunner 2049" you speak of? (Like KOF 2001, it never happened)
