  1. I'm not a TV enthusiast and I like the show for what it is. What really bothers me sometimes is the pessimism bronies have about the show. The quality is probably going down, but the responses are overly dramatic (I'm not a TV watcher and anyone can probably explain in detail why the show's getting worse. Go ahead if you want to. I've kept enjoying the show, but maybe that's my stupid opinion)
  2. A lot of people have mental disorders. From memory, my abnormal psychology professor once told our class that 47% of people will develop a mental disorder sometime in their lives. Not a lot of people disclose their disorders
  3. Of course ♥ But if I stayed human, I'd feel awkward being the only human there
  4. If only women are there and they're pretty, I'd swim ♥ I'd leave if there are any men there
  5. I used to play OW more than CSGO, but now I'm thinking that CSGO's better. I haven't gone back to OW in almost a week. OW is a very creative game, but some things about it are just dumb. I have almost no complaints about the other game
  6. An online friend talked me into 4 episodes of unethical torture, so I consented for fun ^.^ I enjoyed suffering through the other 22 episodes of season 1 ^.^ This was back in June 2011
  7. November and December are just the best 2 months of any business due to holiday sales. They're just trying to succeed from the holiday hype
  8. Aw yeah, we did it, Trump daddy. It's time to make America great again

      Is this genuine, or sarcasm?

      I'm glad Trump won. "Trump daddy" is Milo's nickname for him

  9. Holidays make for great business opportunities. On average, businesses spend 40% of their marketing budgets for ads during November and December because of the hyped up holidays. These are the months customers throwaway spend money on themselves and on each other much more than any other. Everyone loves discounts ^.^
  10. My Criticisms against the Smash Bros Melee community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYhgGVr_Foc

  11. Celestia is the cutest ♥ In the show, Celestia was the most praised and Luna got ignored. Odd that in the fandom, Luna is the most praised and Celestia gets ignored
  12. It's simply too depressing of a topic. What would the moral be? Only eat and exercise the amounts you need to? It doesn't even seem friendshippy
  13. Overwatch loot box opening video featuring 2 witch mercys

  14. At work 2 days ago, I was walking to the store I work at, passing a sports store, when a coworker there was outside campainging for something about D.A.R.E. when she suddenly started flirting me and tried to sweet talk me into giving some of the food I serve as an accepted form of payment at her store. Her last words were even "I love you". She's even an 8 Cuteness confirmed ♥
  15. Want to draw Starlight and Sunburst being cute together? ♥♥
  16. I deactivated my FB account and my managers have no way of knowing my personal life. I work in fast food. I hate being a pushy salesman and trying to recommend high markup items to customers. If I don't, less money for me if I don't say it to a secret customer performance reviewer and my managers will point it out and everyone misses extra money. It's not even something that pays well enough to survive on. It's too shameful to tell anyone
  17. Famous: Lots of people like you that you don't even know Infamous: Lots of people dislike you that you don't even know
  18. Back in the old days, like before the year 2012 or so, there used to be a few top level pros who were that level in several games. Justin Wong (Street Fighter, Marvel Vs Capcom, Capcom Vs SNK), Fatal1ty (Quake, Unreal Tournament, Painkiller) and Mew2King (Melee, Brawl) are 3 of the best examples I can think of and there were several others near/at the top among their multiple games too. But these days, the competition is so well established and the player skills from entry, to highest, are just so much better in every game than before. The super tops make reliable livings from competing in tournaments and these players play 10-14 hours/day every day. If a player or team can't dedicate that much focus into their 1 game, they're not going to place well in tournaments anymore. Some players are veterans who've been playing the game/genre for a decade or even longer. Entering tournaments is just so difficult. You have no idea until you try competing. When I started back on January 2, 2009, I didn't win my 1st tournament set until July 10, 2009. It took me another 6 months to win my 2nd. Imagine playing against the super tops Fame was a great replacement for friends. It's a feeling unlike anything else. I never got tired of it and people have told me in person that I'm fun to play games with. Nothing has ever made me feel better The cost of $12,000 that I estimate comes from driving to so many tournaments, buying so much equipment, paying for tournament and venue fees, paying for food, paying for hotels, and how often I'd pay for each of these things. At 1 point in 2015, I was entering 3 tournaments every week. I captured so much content for my Youtube channel that I had to buy a $1,050 custom PC to help me render everything. $300 of the cost was spend on just the CPU Melee's metagame is dictated by character choices. There is a noticeable portion of players who'll preach to main a character and have a 2ndary to cover those characters' weaknesses. The game's balance is atrocious, even among the tournament viable 8, and there are simply things that better characters can do that worse characters can't handle. Fortunately, a little bit more side on the ideology that it's better to focus all of your efforts into perfecting the 1 character you can play at a time and just fight through the unfair character disadvantages. It'll make them improve faster and there's a psychological benefit to it of preventing players from entering any degree of learned helplessness 5,000 subscribers for a fighting game wouldn't be considered pathetic if the year was 2012, but 2013 happened and now it's pathetic. Getting 50,000 subscribers is the accomplishment that 5,000 was a few years ago. I remember the days when the most subscribed to channel in Melee had only 9,000 or so and he was the unrivaled king of tournament Melee on Youtube. It took several years for others to even get to his level. He stayed at that count because he suddenly unfortunately went inactive because work enslaved him just so he could afford to live My Youtube channel is about me making funny moment videos. I play to troll rather than to win. Unfortunately, Melee's tournament scene only likes competitive content. They don't like casual gaming. I've experienced the unfortunate side of this from some of my best friends
  19. I'd rather live in a city near where I work so I wouldn't have to use a car. It would save me a lot of money
  20. I've been thinking; if a famous tournament series runs another tournament in the same location as this year, a mall for top1%ers, I wonder how people would react if my name was on the registration list and assigned to a certain pool. People would have to look for me to find me though because no 1 knows me. I wonder if the news would spread to me. I also wonder what would happen if I dropped a stack of business cards for my Youtube & Twitch channels there. Would Melee players talk about me? I'll have to be stealthy for the in person event and willing to throw away like $50 in both scenarios. Maybe I could still shop at the mall at their cheapest store which sells sunglasses that cost $100-$400 or eat god tier cake The unfortunate reality is that I wouldn't be given a fuck about
  21. I advertised that video to the Melee community in hopes of 1 more shot at getting new subscribers. IDK how successful it is. Or at least I could get enough Youtube ad money to buy myself an energy drink The problem about Melee's community is that everything has to be about skill. Casual play/design isn't looked upon well Games these days are getting more esports focused while still trying to be easy to learn yet not too skill gapped. The conflict in ideologies ruins game design. It's very possible to make an easy to learn game fit for competitive play. Just look at Halo 1. The problem is that publishers need their games to have fancy mechanics so they can advertise them better. Look at Halo again. The game got worse for competitive play as it got more mechanics The reception of my retirement is fairly mixed. The like% on it is only about 80%, I think, and some are glad I'm gone from the scene. If you do something that the community doesn't like, you will get hated. Some of it is deserved, some of it isn't, but aside from subscribers I won't get, it's not something I care about
  22. Jan 2, 2009 was my 1st tournament. April 10, 2016 was my last streaming session. I know the exact start and end dates ^.^ Due to Youtube not showing channels that users are subscribed to in their own subscription feed, I'll be keeping them as subscribers because they won't even know I've quit Melee. That's the game they subscribed to me for. Before I quit, I'd get only 3%-6% of my subscriber count on my videos. A huge portion of my subscribers are considered burned out Melee has excellent player retention and cheated player attraction, but those cheats met their limits. Melee has to compete with the growing number of competitors of esports games and they attract new players so much better than Melee. Overwatch is even stealing Melee players. Before August 3rd this year, Melee tournaments used to pull in 50+ entrants at local events like 75% of the time. They haven't reached that number again ever since. The local players are in an exodus
