Nobody had said good morning to you yet? Good Morning, Waffles! :)
I was sadly asleep all day! Which is kinda how I was uncharacteristically offline today though I doubt anyone noticed 😝

Morning, everyone!
And morning!
 
Thank you :) I had already forgotten about this post, TBH ;D

Good morning, fellow writer. I trust your day is going great?
My day is going WONDERFUL. Just earlier today Ive managed to find a bunch of useful apps to use on Android, one being a Discord Rich Presence tool that no other app on Android can do! Now people can see me using Android exclusive apps like NewPipe, MyBoy, and... the Samsung internet. It might be simplistic and unnecessary to the naked eye, but I LOVE THIS TYPE OF STUFF. someday in the future, I want to be the kind of person in the retro handheld market to talk about tbe latest kinds of systems that everyone talking about like the Steam Deck, Ayaneo, and others! Reviewing is one thing for sure, but maybe I can somehow combine these things???

I also came up with a nice concept for an indie game after seeing inspiration from two games that one Ive always been into snd tbe other is recent. I knoe that indie gamss are usually the same nowadays, but this has to be an exception because a company hasnt touched this series in a WHILE... (like most of the other indies people make LMFAO)

Im still in my bed, but I am just a person while keeps on thinking about everything. I wish I didnt...
 
I uhm... I'll join this thread soon, once meh brain stops tryin to make me have 'profound realizations' (unbound delusions? lol) every 20 sec... feeling increasingly like some 'nexus' where everything meets or somethin grandiose n dumb like that - like a walking Bermuda Triangle (if that's even what the Bermuda Triangle is? maybe it means no more than the Triangular face button on a Sony pad xD )...

anyway, I'm perfectly aware of how 'out there' that sounds n with no attempted overblown backstory to give any of it an anchor to make it seem more lucid n tangible it's even less justified to bring up here (or really, anywhere - probably would sound outlandish-esue at some sci-fi site [at least w/o aforementioned needed explanation/clarification] ) n since meh haven't been awake long it would like become a messy n combustible exercise in needless creep-out alienation so all signs (the 'normal', practical signs, anywey) point to bein better off by immersing myself in the fun n mundane (fundane?? lol yikes) perfunctory duties n leisure distractions that usually do a dece job dispersing all this cosmic debris (yes the preceding 2 words I guess were a Zappa reference lol) n helpin me feel no more krayzee-straw than just some silly class-clowneh dude who (sometimes to said dude's detriment) goes with his gut without holdin back too much as I feel it would be an empty mistake/bad precedent in the long run (from prev experience, no less)...

also gotta find a way to post without all these parenthetical amendings n asides *sigh* ok wtf?-weirdo! moment gone - everyone carry on while I go try to play somethin n hopefully get outta this prevalent-as-of-late mania(c mansion)-mode. yea I remember Edna from that (wasn't that the name of the plant experiment? maybe it was the mom of the fam)

BUT - I do suddenly have a less-immaterial more-accessible pseudo-subject/complaint to touch upon. that subconsciously-spawned Zappa ref probably sprung this to mind -

Arc Sys Works has kept GG -Strive- goin at least 1 season beyond where I thought they were gonna stop n call it a 'finished product' (which seems a taboo/outmoded terminology/pursuit these days for devs/publishers as most or all here know) - on the 1st round of DLC chars IIRC, they finally brought back one of my 2 mains from the Guilty Gear X/XX games (Anji-Moto). but they still haven't n probably aren't gonna bring my other main back - Zappa.

Zappa is the only GG char that hasn't been brought back yet for either the Xrd games or -Strive- one/s outside of Kliff/Justice (the pair of whom I guess killed each other in the story of OG Guilty Gear? plus were banned from Guilty Gear X/XX tourneys for bein OP - besides this there are only Robo-Ky & Holy Order Sol which are 'merely' extraneous alternates)- which deeply saddens n disappoints me NGL. it's not that I relate to him I guess as a fellow 'spazz' (obv he has me far beat but depends who you ask xD ) - but the STILL unique way he plays - which has not been rendered obsolete or even redundant by *anyone* in the overall cast. a slot he could've filled has been snubbed by guest char Lucy from the Cyberpunk franchise (really?? Cyberpunk?! I mean I'm a big cyberpunk fan in general - love OG Terminator n Blade Runner n like The Fifth Element [if the very latter even qualifies] n tabletop Shadowrun as well as the games... but C'MAwN here!!) n while the upcoming new one (Unika) I look fwd to - (Queen now) Dizzy n Venom were ALREADY brought back for XRD.

grr I don't expect anyone (or anything?) to feel me on the 1st half of this post but does anyone feel me on the decisions made for -Strive- 's lineup? I also get the sinking feeling that SF6's extended cast will bring on little to shock/surprise... i.e., where's the native SFIV chars outside of Juri - who has been in it ever since her 1st appearance? (don't get me wrong I wuv me sum Juri >=D the way she plays I'm referrin to... what? what did you think I meant xD ) where's the remaining SF1 or SF3 chars who haven't returned since the OG series' they are still (outside of M.U.G.E.N.) exclusive to? everything's an uninspired popularity-contest *razzle-frazzle yada-yada*

lol apologize for the complete n total lack of coherence n concise/condensed brevity in some or all of this post ^_^ now I will hit up some games that are festering in their negligence while I type this gratuitous, self-indulgent swiLL ad infinitum/nauseam =o

No need to apologize man. It’s always a pleasure seeing you in these forums.

In my opinion, Sean needs to be in SF6.

ikr?? a shoto or semi-shoto who was supposedly Ken's protege (same was said to be true about Allen Schneider but he's an Arika char so I understand his exclusion hehe [where's Fighting Layer EX2 (Plus?)] ) but instead of returning his sis is in SFV (not that I err... complain cuz she's a good char if you change her voice to the OG nihongo seiyuu - the eigo vers is only a few class dorms away from nails-on-a-chalkboard. if I said anything else about her Sean would tornado-kick infinite me into dizzy/re-dizzy oblivion xD

thnx Yousef, I'm sure you make the day of most who cross paths with you. n those that don't are probably on the wrong path anyway =D

Yeah. Ken was meant to have a protégé but those plans fell through I guess? Capcom really had it out for Sean lol. They took every chance to shit on the guy. Bad look for them. Hope they redeem themselves.

Appreciate the words, man! It’s a delight chatting with you haha.

yea didn't appreciate Sean's DP nerf in 3rd Strike. 3rd Strike is overall the best SF3 game as most would agree but 2nd Impact had better char balance. sometimes even better music, too, though 3rd Strike is also no slouch in that department \m/

thnx! in discord chats I was figuratively dragged kicking n screaming to (not the RGT one - I won't talk about that place lol not for me) - I have friends that have had rapport with me for 5-6 yrs now (this is not counting longtime mostly-IRL-based friends of 25+ yrs or so) n they don't always find it a pleasure to talk with me haha I don't start stuff but I have a bad habit of thoroughly counter-attacking most vicious insults/slights but I am finally improving at 'turning the other cheek/taking the high road' lol

ppl ain't perfect n CERTAINLY nor am I (but I feel imperfection, caveats, flaws - are the definition of humanity n effectively is 'the meaning of life') but we work at it cuz it's something worth striving for/holding onto. too many regretful falling-outs including an IRL friend of nigh-30 yrs now (if we were still friends) who won't talk to me or our other mutual friend who has defaulted to bein my closest longtime friend - even though he is one of the most subvertly or even overtly selfish friends we have ever had n even stole my painpills n my closest friends' mom's painpills when we had him temporarily stay with me then him to save him from homelessness after his caretaking grandma died - not bein friends with him is like missin an arm or leg. one of the most talented n natural born-comedians I have ever met. I try to keep our irreverent/absurd shared humor going with ourselves but others too. for better or worse (or worst xD )

That’s a shame. You’re quite easy to talk to so I cant imagine why.

Imperfectionism makes us who we are. It’s what gives us a soul. I’d say you’re fine the way you are. Don’t sweat the small stuff.

they are up against a bunch of busy work n life stress everyday in a world of amusement n incredibly diverse choices of lifestyle or consumer entertainment in a world veering towards chaos that leaves most ppl unable to ascertain what they truly think or feel about anything - n so they project their insecurities at the most natural target of human-instinct - at the person they can overall relate to the least. some also were/are (even admittedly) a bit jealous that I am legally disabled n don't have to work anymore... even though I'm the 2nd oldest outta everyone in there n have obviously an uphill battle every day both mentally n physically (besides all my disorders I also have MS n Tardive Dyskinesia n the worst, most sensitive stomach of anyone I know outside of a couple girls I know with eating disorders - meh digestive system is a veritable war-zone hehe)... they are always forgetting my age cuz my 'freakish' genetics do a pretty good job of masking it.

they also don't like when I 'up' myself even though I'm at a point where I have relatively little use for bragging or vanity or other such egotistical trappings (I even said one time when called out for it - "sorry, I forgot - I have no talents or achievements or high-points in my life n everything I have ever done has failed. even my failures fail to faiL!!" yes I can be an outright smart-ass xD) . I even feel my effective current-IQ is a fugazi fluke result of hyperactivity's incessant push to mentally stretch n voraciously encapsulate things in the desperate hope of elevating my wisdom to the point where I minimize doin regretful things for I am haunted from certain failures in my past. sometimes I write music (and then avoid returning to these songs or albums unless I absolutely have to) to exorcise n come to terms with these unforgottable, pretty much unforgivable demons such as a friend taking his own life n an ex-gf overdosing on hard 'substances' while I was out doing my thing/tryin to have a good time n I refuse to let anyone down ever again 'on my watch' if I can help it...

eh, sorry this took a dark n too brutally-honest of a turn. I'll leave it as is n send it - if only as a way to give insight into what my challenges are in this mess of an existence - but I don't wanna make a habit of admitting vibe-killing events from cold reality's BS. we're here to escape our troubles mostly n have a good time n evolve sharing our priceless n eternal passion for gaming. plz forgive the explanation of personal tragedies n I'll try as hard as I can to consistently keep the heavy talk for elsewhere more appropriate or to myself.

Edit: broke up the run-on sentence-ridden paragraph wall for slightly less frustrating read xD

Edit 2: added some stuff I meant to say but accidentally spaced past it o_O

No need to ask for forgiveness, I don’t mind.
You seem to have led a hard life. I sympathize with you and wish you good luck.
By comparison, I’m just some rando who sits all day lol. House chores like cooking, dish washing and laundry are fun for me because I don’t like sitting too long.
 
relative simplicity is certainly no bad thing. it's always been elusive for me n for all the things I can figure out or recreate the essence of from mimicry - I have no clue on how to just make brief statements during times like these especially. despite being advised n informed that more ppl would digest more of what I say if I spread it out over short spurts... I compulsively ramble on n on, even joking sometimes gets too elaborate for its own good... tryin to learn restraint so I don't keep shootin mehself in the foot but during phases like this there's all too much to say unless I just extricate myself from the discussion grounds n go off to do other things that feel or are important. which I will do very shortly here, jeez I need some water or hot chocolate or somethin xD
 
I hate not being allowed to talk to people online (specially on discord)
 
If you are what you eat, then isn't the only way to be yourself is through autocannibalism?
 
Personally I cannot wait for summer, my body is meant for the heat and barely cooled down nights. I'm naturally cold blooded so I take pleasure in cooking from the warm stove or oven to the burning of my tongue as I eat.
 
Stupid Summer, making me feel disgusting just by existing XD
I always get thrown off by this!! I forget that different seasons exist during the same time of year in different places.

Friday night (Just turned Saturday)! What are we all playing?
The Waiting Game. Hopefully this ibuprofen kicks in so my headache wears off and I can actually play something!
