Man, we've all had a lot of good memories on this site eh? It's basically dead, but let's be honest -- at least we can come back to it.

I highly recommend you to join discord. Drop me a PM/DM or whatever you wanna call it, I'm raven#3622 (and currently have a Jojos avatar). I have facebook (yeah, despite everything), gmail, text, WhatsApp, etc. Feel free to drop me a PM, get in touch, whatever. I'll be checking here more.

Consider any previous beef squashed, honestly, because times are honestly garbage right now for anyone and everyone and I'm 27 now, we're all older now, and I've just forgotten a lot of dumb crap (and honestly, I've forgotten many of you, but it really doesn't matter to me because all that stuff is past now). It'll be nice to hear from you, nice to have a conversation in discord (I'm always online, I'm just quieter these days because of events in my personal life; I'm fine, though). Post here too if you want, rag on me as much as you want, but just let us know you're alive, ya know?

Did anyone watch the presentation?

I'm preordering it now. The way they showed Breath of the Wild was THE HYPEST THING.

What a game. I finished it the other day, and it has a bunch - and I mean a bunch - of little flaws that are made up for by the things it does well.

Anyone else played it? I'll expound on this post more - I have lunch and a flight to catch.

Hey guys, I made a Discord server that may end up supplanting the IRC depending on how popular it gets. Here's the invite link. https://discord.gg/MMmp5FJ

Discord is basically if you take Skype and mix it with IRC, with none of the downsides of Skype, for those who don't know. There's a browser client and a regular client, and the browser client is the regular client in the browser. It's easy to setup as well.

I'll come up with roles and more channels later, and I'll just copy+paste the rules off of the rules page on there. Hopefully this gets more activity than IRC - everyone's been switching to discord lately which is kind of sad cause we used to get like 20+ users daily on IRC back in the day. But we switched to Discord for a bunch of chats and they've been way more active so why not?

Sorry if I did this without consulting you Joeno - I'll make sure you give you every permission I've got once you're on.

I have no idea if we can really advertise our streams here, but does anyone have a twitch channel or something that they stream on? What is it?

My twitch is twitch.tv/lraven17 and I tend to stream at times that are ungodly for Europeans, but I am trying to get better at finding a time. I mainly just stream stuff from my backlog though I will beaT Sonic 06 once I get 100 followers (200 I will play Shadow's story and at 300 I'll play Silver's story). I put a lot of details in my channel so yeah.

Well, I am not much of a visual artist in terms of actually drawing things, but i do love looking at things.  Any cool art you've seen lately?  Cosplay?  Post whatever for the world to see.

Kay drew this like 5 years back and it's still stunning.

So I turned 22 almost two weeks ago, which means I have officially spent half my life here...  I signed up when I was 11.  You guys don't really need to hear the specifics, I became socially better and a bit smarter because I started going on these boards, and even though I've had my run ins with everyone at the time I'm glad I spent all that time.  It's really nice, because I went from a stupid kid who hated just about everything with no friends to a man who's in a PhD program, has a ton of friends both IRL and on the internet (but still cynical).

I've officially hit 20000 posts as of this post, but I really wanna talk about most of the people I've seen that have contributed heavily to my time here...  and people who I miss and I hope can at least come around to reply to this.

Lottie - I love ya, wish you were around more and wish you weren't as busy.  I'm so glad you're into FE now, because you can finally understand what I had been hyping for the past 9 years!  And I'm so glad you still come around a little bit, even if it's not as often as it used to be.

Rex - You need to come into IRC more.  We've had a few convos via facebook chat lately but I'd love to see you with the group dynamic.  You were my favorite admin while you were here, and it's a shame you've calmed down a bit with the cows crap but you're a bro.

Bloatedfish/Mitchell - you're a guy I haven't seen in years or talked to in years, and it's really bad because the last couple times we've talked I was generally probably not in the mood to talk or whatever.  You were a pretty intelligent guy with some pretty interesting stuff to say and your presence in IRC over the past couple of years (where we were both going through undergrad) will be sincerely missed.  I hope you make time and come around.  I'll link you to this post on Skype to see.

Luke/Yoshi - lol my strangest memory of you is the inappropriate thing you called me on my birthday one year.  Also those late nights with a bunch of sprite and we just talked about absolutely nothing.  That was stupid crazy.  It's a shame that you can't do it again, because I sure as hell am up for it - I stay up until anywhere from 2 to 6am CST these days, which I guess is way after you wake up over in stupid depressing Wales.

Dan Dan - I really miss you.  Your incredible wit and comedic timing but also the fact that you were a calming presence despite everything.  I think that's the most underrated thing about you; things don't really get to you and you don't take things personally which lets you ground a conversation before it gets too hot.  Hope that made sense and I didn't butcher too many metaphors!

Turner - it's been 5 years since we were eternally pissed off at the state of the forum right?  I'm glad we've both calmed down, and I hope you come onto IRC more and talk because lord knows I don't see you enough.  You were always pretty frank but a good dude to talk to.

Bluffy - remember when I thought of you like my little sister?  Seems like it's been forever since we properly got a chance to talk, I remember we'd stay up late just talking and complaining about things to each other.  I hope we can start doing that again, especially cause we're in the same time zone now!  I'm glad you're not spending your life on your back!

Rob - this is another dude where we would just stay up and talk about stupid crap and complain all the time.  It was nice when we were teenagers, but sadly we're both too busy to keep that up AND MSN is dead.  I hope you get everything sorted out and you can come back and post more and come onto IRC more or something...

Alex/CS10 - you were always a nice guy and I remember when we were talking a bit back you hadn't changed a bit.  It was a nice talk even though it was late for me and I was just rambling.

Kay - what the hell happened to you too?  You're never around either, but you're posting on facebook about stuff that I may or may know about AND I'm happy to see that you've played Radiant Historia.  I've never seen someone on this forum more positive than you (at least not that I recall) and it's definitely something nice to see.

Joeno - I'm sorry for everything that happened a while back and I don't think any of us were right.  I'm glad I've earned enough trust from this place to manage IRC, and it's really cool to see IRC flourishing again.  I think I speak for a lot of us when I say we really appreciate the work you've put into this place, even if we've butted heads a lot in the past.

Del - I don't think we really knew each other that well beyond like acquaintances until this past year, but man you are a cool dude.  I think it's funny and entertainment for everyone else to see us just viciously attacking each other, but I'm glad I made you a halfop because you're keeping up with voicing people and you haven't done much of anything rash.

GL/KEROU/Alex - Man I really found you annoying for a while, it seemed like you complained a little too much.  Over the past year, you've improved greatly to the point where I really, really, really enjoy seeing you on IRC and talking to you.  I just wish you were noctural again so we could chat way into the night, but I think it's better for the both of us that we don't see that happen.

sylar - I really like reading the things you have to say, to be honest, and I may be one of those rare people that think you're a nice person but just a little abrasive.  I really think you can afford to be less short with people but it's really nice to still see you post on this forum, and it's also nice having someone who agrees with me that is much, much better at writing than I am.

Liz/supergrunt/Kpyna/whatever - Even though you're a New England fan and much younger than me, you're still pretty great.  Another person I haven't seen enough on the forum, but I'm happy you're in college and not screwed over by that incident a few years back.  You're funny and you snark at me pretty greatly, and you were also the only person from this site I texted at some point!

Kit - SO GLAD you're in the US, but the part that sucks is that you're so far away regardless.  It's a 7 hour drive from Maryland!  I'm glad you're enjoying the US, I'm glad I actually convinced you to watch a Ravens game, and it's nice to have another person here to text without an App even though we don't do it much.  I wish you also came around here because you had so much more energy than everyone else, and actually I take back what I said to Kay about her positivity - only second to you.

Brin - it's been absolutely forever since we've talked and we used to be really close.  Now, not nearly so much, but you've been the best person to complain to when I was growing up and somewhat depressed.  I know you basically don't have many ties to this forum anymore and you never liked Pokemon but at least you're on facebook!

Rikimaru - man you're a crazy dude, I remember our old flamewars and we somehow became friends out of that.  We had a nice exchange of music for a while before we both just parted ways due to timing and just us being busy in general.  It's a shame you don't come around as much, but c'est la vie.  You're hilarious but you're a dick.

Raph - still a robot but it's so nice to see you come around.  I still remember that really cool battle we had that went to like 79 turns and ended because of a Swampert critical at an opportune time for you.  It was even throughout, completely back and forth, and I don't remember all the details but I remember it's still my favorite battle to this day.  You were always a really super helpful guy and it's great to see you aruond.

Xagor - the other robot and it's also nice to see you come around occassionally.  Nice to see another physics PhD/PhD candidate that's as much as a nerd as me, because all the other people in my year aren't.  Hope all is well with you.

Maikeru - I remember you pretty fondly and it's a shame you don't come around at all.  It's been forever and it's a shame that things happened how they did...  I remember we'd talk about band at night and I just remember we really hated each other before we just became very good friends.  It's a shame EmpireIRC went down the way it did.  I just remember a time when vortex was the only server that was left.

Claire - It's really nice to see you around still, always a funny and interesting person to see post even though we haven't really talked directly in forever.  I'm still waiting for that sprite!

Tim/Enigma - I just remember we used to butt heads a lot and we always disagreed with each other at some point.  I'm not even sure over what, it was over some really pitiful stuff, but I don't see you at all and you don't respond to ANYTHING on facebook!  But you were smart and funny and most importantly gay which made it all round out.  Damn though you need to come by, and your post count is fake!!!

The Wroth/Sam - it's been a while too, and I'm still one of like 3 Americans on your facebook mwahaha!  You started the whole "pokemon first name pokemon last name" thing a while back with MUHEDicham (even though I realize now you said that because you pronounced my name wrong) but you're a bro, have always been, and I'm hoping to see you around on facebook some more.

I've missed people and I'm almost at the limit but I really appreciate most people I've met here and I just hope that a bunch of you guys come back even if it'll just be brief!  I'm hoping to stay on here for forever more and I'm hoping that we can bring this place back to the level of activity it used to have!

Yeah so another case of a white cop killing an african american teen because the white cop is supposedly racist.  Let's bring the arguments in here.

I'm personally on the side where there's racism in society that causes this.  My viewpoint is a little more nuanced than that but that's basically the tl;dr summary.  I'll respond to people as they come in.

I'll just post some stuff I found on another board that I won't name...  I uploaded them to my own imgur so I don't link to said other site.

Post any funny chat snippets you may have had in IRC or MSN or AIM or something!  Do they even use the latter anymore?

Anyway, I felt good about this one:

I'd like to note that Mega Glalie is marginally viable now and Mega Steelix doesn't really impress me.

EDIT:

Has a whole ton of leaks.  Including the base stats of the Pokemon.  I am busy but I'll edit my post with all of the base stat changes later.

The Legendary Pokémon are found on islands that can only be found through areas on the sky and is said to make it so all non-event Legend

Obviously a rough translation but did anyone else catch this from various translations?  It is actually very nice to hear about this at any rate, hoping it's not some sort of stupid ass dream world type stuff.
