Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

@Mariotag There’s something about squirrel characters that are super charming for me. I love them in a lot of media, and again, I started liking them a lot after playing Conker since a lot of the characters in that are squirrels.

I see. I do know 4Kids is kind of well-known for making a lot of changes to the anime they dubbed, but I heard a lot of their changes were bad and ruined the anime, or just lessened the quality a bit. I can’t say a lot about a ton of 4Kids dubs besides Pokémon (which I watched a ton), but I thought that was a fine and iconic dub, though I’m not sure what changes they made to the original Japanese version.

Actually, they are just necromancers, so I’d assume they are only able to just communicate with the dead rather than reviving them.

Yeah, I don’t know why the writer didn’t look up the lyrics to confirm whether or not their claim about the inappropriate lyric was in there. If they did that, then they probably wouldn’t have even had to write the article. But it’s also the site’s fault since they uploaded it early when the writer’s plan was to upload it once they got official confirmation from Nintendo and Atlus about the actual lyrics. The article still would have been dumb, but at least it would have actually not spread misinformation over the actual lyrics if they had gotten the info from Atlus first and included it in the article.

I love drawing but I haven’t done it in months. I have so many ideas but it’s also frustrating…I feel like my art progress is stagnant, especially since I haven’t picked up a pencil and drawn in a while!

I need to figure out how I can fix my habits…but it’s so hard because everyday I get paranoid about something unexpected and bad happening, which I feel like is something that happens more often than not. I don’t know, I just can’t help but feel like that almost everyday, but I think it’s a sign I’m just super unhappy in general.

@Pastellioli For me, it's only some squirrel characters. Not that I know many. There's a recent manga on MangaPlus that has a squirrel deity character. You might like that one, and if you get to it before Monday, you might be able to read all available chapters and keep up. Ratatoskr had the bonus of a Kurama aesthetic. And when you see her transformation animation, it's kinda neat.

Eh, I dunno much of the changes 4kids made to Pokemon. I heard the OG Japanese version of Brock was more "creepy". Also they changed the characters to having actual names, instead of being self inserts. Cause Ash's OG name was Satoshi, after Satoshi Taijiri, and Gary was originally Shigeru, after Shigeru Miyamoto. The later characters had original names in Japan too, like May being Haruka, and I think Dawn was Hikari?
Other anime though? One Piece had a dub that made all the guns into water guns. Replaced cigarettes with lolipops. Sonic X removed cultural references, some darker scenes in season 3, changed Eggman from a comedy villain into a serious one, removed swear words, etc. Yugioh's infamous "Shadow Realm" was basically a replacement for characters dying, getting limbs cut off, etc. The dialogue for these shows could often be made a bit kiddier too.

Ah. So, Nekomata can only really reanimate, not revive.

Yeah. So, uh, it was everyone's fault there.

I've had ideas for drawing. I wanted to do a sort of Dragonball manga that was a better GT basically, but I'd have to consider Super and Daima now. And I'd wanted to follow it up with a new story. Sadly, cannot art.

Heh. Relatable. It's me, all the time. Doubting friends, wondering if I'm clean, thinking ppl are ignoring me, upset with me, etc. It's enough to render me non-functional. Which btw, got notice that some of my financial/insurance support is going away. Might not be because of certain stated intents though, as we randomly got given a sum of money that far surpasses what the program allows to be in the bank account.

Thinking of taking another break from Nintendo Life. I've got a lot on my mind lately and my depression is coming back. Physically, I'm OK. Mentally, not so much. Sending my prayers that I'll feel better soon. I wish the best for all you folks as well.

@Pastellioli You're very welcome. Yeah, I wanted to give you a heads up right when I sent that request, my Switch username is MarioVil92 so you could recognize that it's me. On Pocket Camp, ah gotcha, that's a shame, sorry that happened. I would have been upset if that happened to me too, since I got a pretty good amount of progress into the free-to-play version. The in-game fortune cookie items I got in Pocket Camp were all of the flower train items, a lot of the Daisyville buildings, and almost all of the toy shop items, and they're all so cute! My profile picture even has my Pocket Camp villager wearing the floral conductor outfit. As mentioned earlier in this post, I'm not feeling too well mentally right now, but a lot of cute things like those do help me cheer up. A lot of Nintendo's games and Disney's classic movies and cartoons help with that, as well.

Yeah, the default ones are OK, but nothing too special. Before those NSO-exclusive profile icons, I used that 2D render of Mario with a red background. We got spoiled with those NSO ones, haha.

Oh that's cool, I remember seeing bits and pieces of the 2010s Mickey Mouse cartoons, I'd like to see more of those sometime. I have Disney Illusion Island for the Switch, and that has the same art style as those cartoons. It's a pretty good game too actually, it's one of those what we'd call hidden gems. I've been wanting to play Castle of Illusion as well, since I have a Sega Genesis Mini, and that game is included in it. I think I noticed that too on Disney+, some of their cartoons just aren't on there. Thanks, yeah I did have fun writing about my thoughts about that movie. My post isn't super long though. I guess I'm not super great at reviewing movies, so I keep my thoughts short and sweet.

I actually did come back to New Horizons earlier, and I've been having fun with it. I don't have any new bugs or fish to catch at the moment. I know of the time traveling exploit, but personally, I really don't want to do it. It kind of goes against the spirit of what Animal Crossing is all about, and I don't want to mess up my game. I've been going to the Kapp'n islands, but haven't found anything new yet. I do want to play more of Happy Home Paradise, too.

Gotcha, I wonder why if that was the case. I still remember an early sign of Rare not being part of Nintendo anymore when I was a kid. I remember seeing a trailer of Donkey Kong Racing way back when, then we learned that it got cancelled. I wonder how that game would've compared to Diddy Kong Racing had it released... I guess we'll never know.

@MarioVillager92 Sorry about how you’ve been feeling Hope you start to feel better fast!

I deleted the game myself because I wasn’t really playing it, so it was more of my own fault. It does suck my data is gone permanently now, because I did think Pocket Camp was a decent spin-off. Only thing that annoyed me were Leaf Tickets and how long it took to make furniture, but I did have a decent amount of furniture and some nice villagers too, but I don’t think I ever had completed furniture sets, though the items I combined together did suffice. I am happy that the game is still playable even after they closed it. Yeah, I find that Nintendo’s games and some Disney movies do make me feel better or entertain me a lot when I’m bored. I have been using Disney+ a lot to watch films and shows. I still have some stuff on my watchlist when I finish a movie I’m going to watch later.

Yep, the new NSO pictures are great and a welcome change. I don’t think they have updated the OG avatar feature in a while because of that. It would be cool if they got second-party or third-party characters and elements, but I’m fine if they have to just stick to first-party characters.

I watched the shorts a lot and they are so enjoyable and funny. You should watch some more of it I have heard of that, and the art style for that definitely reminded me of the shorts. I have played a couple of Disney games in the past, like Epic Mickey, Disney Infinity (which was fun as heck) and Disney Universe. Disney absolutely has a lot of fun games too. Usually when I talk and review movies on here, I type a LOT. I am going to write about more movies on there because I watched a couple, but I’m thinking of trying to keep them shorter.

That’s good to hear! I actually used to change the time a lot in New Leaf to speed things up lol, but it had consequences like weeds growing, messed up hair, cockroaches, and villagers moving out. I think one time I accidentally messed with the year and I set it to the 2050s if I remember! When New Horizons removed it because they realized people were cheating with it, I just played it normally, but I know some people found ways around it, that being changing the Switch clock and date, but I also never did that. It mess up both the game and the console. I think I did go to the islands in New Horizons, but I remember it way more in New Leaf. I always liked doing that, and it was so fun to get all the creatures and buy souvenirs and furniture. I haven’t played the Happy Home Paradise DLC, but is it fun? I know it’s kind of similar to the Happy Home Designer spin-off, but I never played the spin-off.

They tried to salvage Donkey Kong Racing after its cancellation by changing the characters and IP. What came out of that was a planned 360 game called Sabreman Stampede (which used a character they created and owned) and they kept the animal riding in that but that also got cancelled. It stinks, because from what I’ve played in DKR, it’s very unique and fun, and also very bright, and it’s disappointing they probably won’t go back to that game again. Rare had a ton of interesting games that never saw the light of day.

@Pastellioli
Oh, speaking about ACNL 3DS, I have figured it out how to keep all my villagers stay in my island even I didn't play ACNL for very long time.
Before I get hiatus from ACNL, I will make sure nobody will thinking about moving out as I will monitoring my whole island to find who will give reaction to me. If they are thinking about moving out, they will tell if they will moving out by 10 days later (5 days before the update, extended 10 days after the update).
I simply said No and they will stay in your island. After I rejected their request to move out, I will play for a while then I must Save the game after I found one of my villager will try to move out because from this point, after you rejected their request and save the game right after the event happened, your villagers will stay forever.
But if load again your file right after you saved, the villagers will try to moving out by themselves without telling to you.
Here is the game mechanism I figured it out and I used that opportunity to keep my villagers stay forever because I will be very upset to find one of my villager moving out by themselves. I don't play Animal Crossing to experience the losing of villagers, I hate that idea.
I treat both ACNL and ACNH like The SIMS games so I want all my villagers stay forever after I worked so hard to get them.
But looks like I prefer to play ACNH more than ACNL as ACNL already looked outdated in term of customizing.
If I can get Switch 2 machine in the future, I will make 2nd island and going crazy again like my 1st island (measuring the island size, designing my whole island, deciding the villagers to stay in my 2nd island, doing local multiplayer session with my old Switch to exchange items, not kicking the unwanted villagers too early to get all the special DIY recipe and emitions, doing another photoshoot again, etc)

@Mariotag I like most squirrel characters, but there are a few I don’t like. I watched some movie called the Nut Job that had a squirrel protagonist but he was very unlikeable, a very rare instance where I found a squirrel character to be terrible. I also only know a few squirrel characters, right now, maybe four? Cool, a manga with a squirrel? That’s really cool to hear. Maybe I’ll look into it and see what it’s about.

Some of the Pokémon characters were named after people? I didn’t know that! That’s a cool fact. I remember watching a video on the One Piece dub and seeing them use water guns and have lollipops as kid-friendly replacements to cigars was absolutely hilarious, though for one character they edited out the cigars entirely and it looked like he just had his mouth awkwardly left open with smoke coming out of his mouth. I think almost all of the weapons got changed to toys. In the video, a character used a knife during a scene, but 4Kids wasn’t able to edit the knife out or find a good replacement for it, so the script rewrote it as a rubber knife when it still clearly was a real knife. I didn’t know the Shadow Realm thing came from a 4Kids dub. That’s kind of funny to know, and apparently it wasn’t ever a thing in the original version. I think a notable aspect of all of 4Kids was the dialogue being more kiddy and childish.

Yeah, nekomata do have abilities relating to the dead, but not exactly reviving it.

That’s a cool idea. I actually have a lot of ideas for specific art pieces and even stories, but I feel like they are too ambitious and complex for me to execute with my art and writing skills. My art is fine but I still haven’t mastered poses, backgrounds, and perspective, not to mention my art style changes way too much, and I’m unfortunately thinking of changing it again. My writing skills are especially bad when writing stories. I once had an idea for a story with younger versions of Norse gods and figures attending a magic school and being split into different classes, and the main character was one of Thor’s siblings. When I told my family about it, one of them told me I unintentionally ripped off Fire Emblem Three Houses. I was embarrassed and didn’t write it, also because I thought my writing wasn’t up to the task. It’s weird I didn’t realize the similarities at first though…but it’s still embarrassing.

I just worry a lot about stuff and things that could possibly be the case, like someone also being mad at me for something or someone talking about me to another person. Luckily it’s not the case most of the time but it really puts me into panic mode and I can’t stop thinking about it. Sorry about the financial support going away, I’d be feeling really upset and down if that happened to me.

@Pastellioli Yeah, I dunno many squirrel characters either honestly.

4kids absolutely made changes, some of them for the better. I can't imagine watching a version of Pokemon where the lead and his main iconic rival are named for irl people, and a potential rivalry between them.

Yea. Which makes it interesting seeing FEH have Sakura mention a what if regarding that.

Yeah, I definitely wanted to up the ante with my own intended sequel. But at least one of my ideas was used in Dragon Ball Super, an antagonist who could erase characters, and even universes. So like you, my idea was already used. My initial reason for it though, was just that I felt GT had what I thought was an interesting potential interesting concept, a merger of OG Dragonball, and DBZ styles. One they executed poorly by dragging everything out overly much, and making it dull. And my art never got to be much. I ragequit over trying to draw a circle within 30 seconds that one time, so I'm very not confident!
Also, weird. Some similarities, but your pitch is still relatively different! FE3H featured the house leaders as world leaders, with some individuals from their nations, eventually set to war against each other. As a professor, you have to pick a side.

Same about social anxieties. Similar reasons here. I'm still upset with myself for doubting friends. But sometimes, those reasons did end up being accurate.
And, I knew the financial support was going away. It's actually more optimistic than I first thought. I initially thought, I was being given a choice. No financial support right now, but with a possibly brighter future? Or, keep the support, for now, but sacrifice that future when it is no longer sustainable?

Hey people, how would one set up an automatic download of a game from nintendos website so that it starts downloading when I turn my switch on?

@Mariotag Still like squirrels a lot, but it’s funny I only know about 5 or 6 of them.

I didn’t really know FEH mentioned that. It’s cool to hear that they did. Speaking of FEH, it’s been a while since I last played it…

That’s a coincidence! Yeah usually any ideas I have for writing have been used already in media, and when I see it, I go “oh” and avoid using it, because I really REALLY don’t want to unintentionally rip it off. For a while my art was kind of bad. I have drawn for a while, but only took it seriously back in around 2018, where my skills were very bad. My art went through a ton of changes and while my art has gotten better, it’s still not the best. There’s a lot of fundamentals I need to learn, but for now art is just a fun hobby and not something I do seriously.

I do know about the classes in FE3H all having leaders and going to war, as well as you having to choose a side, though I still think mine was ripping off FE3H unintentionally, mainly with the separated classes with different themes, all the characters being teenagers, and it taking place at a magic school. I think I tried to rewrite the story after I found out how similar it was, but I gave up because I couldn’t come up with a better idea. I also had Greek and Japanese mythology stories, which if I remember, the Greek story starred Helios (god of the sun) and there was this space town led by personifications of the main planets in the solar system (sans Earth, the Moon, and Sun), and the leaders all wielded special weapons. I randomly made a personification of Pluto the antagonist who wants revenge on the leaders, which I think I did as a reference to how Pluto was a main planet but demoted to a dwarf planet afterward. I wrote too many characters for that one and scrapped it. The Japanese story had way too many similarities to the Greek story, and that, paired with my lackluster writing skills, made me not write them. I do maybe want to come up with a new mythological story, but I’m not revisiting those scrapped concepts because they are very poorly written.

I really just need to stop feeling that way. It ruins my brain and thinking, but I always just can’t stop thinking about things that are possibly happening, and I always feel the need to ask someone about it to quell my fears, but it’s always temporary, because my mind tricks me into thinking about it. It’s good to hear that the financial support thing is better. I thought at first it was something bad.

@Pastellioli
Speaking about your magic school idea and the planets, I also have my own franchise.
I have created this franchise since year 2007 from my random sketches.
My franchise have 8 heroes with name from Mercury until Neptune with Pluto as secret optional character.
My first drawing was realistic style people then I revised their design with drastic changes in semi Chibi style in year 2008. I changed again their design into Chibi style in year 2016 and some characters have major design changes again. Here is my 9 planetary heroes from my Deviantart gallery.

I made every characters have their own job, like FF9 as they have their elemental which have their weakness as well. I imagined this will be Action RPG like Kingdom Hearts style but you can switch the leader anytime like FF 12 and your non controlled members will do depend on your assignment similar as Gambit system FF 12. I will break down one by one of the characters.

Mercury = Ice Ninja + Alchemist
Venus = White Magic + melee fighter
Earth = Defender + arm cannon fighter
Mars = Two handed blade Knight

Jupiter = Summoner
Saturn = Time Wizard + Dark Knight fighter
Uranus = Wind wizard + Boomerang fighter
Neptune = Water wizard + Trident fighter

Pluto = Dark wizard + Summoner

The reason I separated the characters into different group because they are represented their actual planet forms.
Mercury until Mars are rock planets which they have great Physical attacks and good Magic attack as well. Only Venus have the highest healing Magics.
Jupiter until Neptune are gas planets which they have better Magic attack than the rock planets fighters but only Saturn have the deadliest physical attack considering his Scythe weapon. Uranus and Neptune have moderate healing magics but not as strong as Venus.

Pluto is special one. Since the demotion from NASA decision in August 2006, I made Pluto as secret character that you can invite him as optional new member but he will only join until defeating the Final Boss. After defeating Final Boss, he will departing from your group and back to his job. I made the requirement to invite Pluto as your optional member by finishing his request by finding his hell puppy Cerberus which should guard the gate of Underworld. After finding Cerberus, Pluto will join in your team and Pluto can summon Cerberus as well but Cerberus can have Full version looking into great Wolf with three different heads which can be switched and its heads have three different elementals that represented elementals of Hell : Dark, Fire and Ice.

What do you think about my planetary heroes?
I will explain more if you interested.

@Anti-Matter I really like the designs of Mercury and Uranus.

@SlamDunk22
Thank you. 😊
Long time ago, when I designed my Uranus with half blinded eye, some of my students thought he looked like Kakashi from Naruto.
I have a plan to fix again my planetary heroes design in year 2026, just two or three characters with very minor changes.

@Anti-Matter wow! Your idea is very cool. I actually also did base my versions on the planets rather than be the actual Greek gods, and I especially like what you did with Pluto and basing him off of how the planet was demoted as a dwarf planet and having him be more mysterious and separate from the rest, and making them RPG characters is super cool too! I like Pluto’s design, as well as Neptune, Venus, and Mercury

My version didn’t have a personification of Earth, if I recall, I only did Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.

@Pastellioli
Thank you. 😊
Btw, I can break down more details of my planetary heroes.

Mercury is the youngest member, 17 years old. He is very smart, very fast like ninja, his weapons are arm cannon like Megaman with Ice elemental and Ice Kunai that he created from his magic and throw toward enemies.
He has Ice magic such as Ice pillar, Frost which a freezing shield that will change water damage into Ice damage, nullify the fire attack or freezing the water monster into ice statue with a chance of being petrified or freezing the water floor into ice floor that can be walked on.
He can using his visor to detect enemies with thermal vision but he's a little bit arrogant and cold especially dealing with Mars. Mercury is the only member who can hold All Items without limitation as in my RPG concept, the other characters have limitation by 20 slots to store the items like Potion, reviving stuffs, antidote, etc but can be upgraded the capacity through the game. The reason I gave Mercury All items because he is Alchemist as well so he can hold as many potions and other stuffs to mix them become different items.

Venus is the only female character in my planetary heroes. Her weapon is Metal fan like LeBlanc FF X-2. She is a good melee fighter with her metal fan. She is basically White magician with fighting skill as she is the only member who can heal, revive the KO members and deal Holy light magic. She is also have special ability like planet Venus which well known as the hottest planet in our solar system by using her passive ability Overheat Crush by accumulating the damage she taken from Fire attacks. When she used Overheat Crush, she will unleash Fire elemental attack like Ultra Heat Wave to all enemies with damage from the accumulation from Fire attack before.
Venus is 22 years old, she has very motherly personality, care with everyone and very patient. Both Mercury and Venus are orphan when they were young and they got adopted by Principal Jupiter as the students of RPG Heroes Academy. The reason they are orphan because both of them in our solar system have no satellites so I made them orphan (no parents).

Earth is the main character in my planetary heroes as we live in Earth so I made Earth become the main character.
He is the son of King Helios and Queen Artemis who are the real parents as Earth was separated by the warp magic to avoid the harm of evil Queen Eris and Earth was landed on real planet Earth and got adopted by his foster parents the farmer family. Earth grown up as farmer boy until his age 23 years old then something happened on Earth planet that made Earth (the main character) returned back to his birthplace at different planet. Earth joined in RPG Heroes academy with Mercury, Venus and Mars to become heroes with mentor Saturn.
Earth have two different weapons: the Normal arm cannon like Megaman and the bladed Shield like one weapon of Organic XIII Kingdom Hearts. His shield can be used for both protect from any attacks and attacking the enemy with the sharp part of bladed shield.
He has the highest HP and defense but his speed is very low considering he wears heavy armors and the bladed shield.
Earth have some Earth magic and Sentinel skills like Earthquake, Petrify, Protect, Shield, Counter attack, Medi Guard, etc.

Mars is the strongest Physical attack hero with Fire elemental.
He is 19 years old, younger than both Venus and Earth considering the size of planet Mars is smaller than planet Venus and Earth but bigger than Mercury.
Mars use heavy two handed blade and he deal the most damage from his blade.
His ability are combination of Knight job with Power Break / Armor Break / Magic Break / Mental Break with some Pyro magics such as Flame burst, Pyro balls, special Fire magic Evaporate which a heat shield that will change Ice damage into Water damage and will completely vaporize any water attacks (zero damage). He also have some supportive skills like Strength Up, Added Fire elemental attack, etc.
Mars is a brave guy with high energy and enthusiasm, likes the funny jokes but easily to get angry as his nature from Fire elemental.
Sometimes, Earth and Mars have quarrels for very trivial matter, like kids fight between Gian and Suneo (Doraemon). Earth surprisingly like to tease Mars and Mars sometimes easily get offended by Earth jokes. But sometimes, Earth and Mars are best buddy, solid teamwork.
Mars only have father but his father was very abusive with Mars and he committed in crime so Principal Jupiter adopted Mars to be student in RPG Heroes academy.

Well, the first half of my planetary heroes I can explain.
I will explain more the second half after working time.

@Anti-Matter late reply, but wow, your concept is so cool. I actually really like reading on info for fictional characters, so thanks for expanding on your characters! I also like how you based their abilities, HP, characteristics, stories, and elements on actual characteristics of the planets and incorporated them well with the RPG stuff. You definitely did a better job with them compared to my versions, haha.

I also recall giving my versions of the Solar System special weapons, but I don’t think their weapons were elemental based…I think I based mine more on the personalities I gave the characters.

@Pastellioli
Thanks. 😊
Well, I promised I will breakdown the second half of my planetary heroes.

Jupiter is the principal of RPG Heroes academy. He is the oldest from all planetary heroes, 70 years old considering planet Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.
Jupiter use Lightning magics like Thunder, Electrocute, Electro Static, Disable, Immobilize, etc.
Jupiter is Summoner so he can summon the Guardian creatures to help in battle.
But to get the new guardian creatures, you must defeat them then they will join in your party. Only Vajra (Lightning elemental) is the first guardian creature that Jupiter can call by default. The other guardian creatures that can be summoned such as Ignis (Fire), Krista (Ice), Xiphias (Water), Aria (Wind + Water + Lightning), Atlas (Earth) and Xaverio (Holy + Heal).
Those 7 Guardian creatures are based on storyline as there are 3 optional guardian creatures to make it 10.
They are Tempus (Time + Space), Stealth (Master magics + Master Protection skills + Master saboteur skills) and Paragon (Non elemental).
They are very difficult guardian creatures to beat as you must get them in order to get the next one.
A little bit explanation of the 7 main guardian creatures.
Ignis = Fire elemental knight
Krista = Ice Queen
Xiphias = Swordfish Knight
Aria = Rainstorm goddess with 3 elementals from rainstorm : Wind, Water & Lightning
Atlas = Rock elemental giant dude
Xaverio = Angelic male guardian with angel wings

Tempus is a Time guardian with robotic like hooded hermit. He is pretty annoying as he can use time magics to manipulate movement, warping, changing the speed, changing age of the players into Old or Youth. But he has one very upsetting time magic only if he is in very low HP, Return. If he use Return (chance = 0.1%), the player will be send back into Title screen like before fighting the Tempus.
As summon, Tempus can use time magics to all party members, throw the enemies into Black hole (chance = 10% instant KO).
His overdrive attack is Chronos Break which inflict heavy non elemental damage to all enemies and stop their movements for 20 seconds within radius 20 meter.

Stealth is a huge humanoid creature somewhat like Twelve from Street Fighter 3 + XLR8 Ben 10 with multiple of different magic spells, very strong synergist and saboteur magics and very fast movement.
Before fighting Stealth, you must defeat his two apprentices first: Dexter and Sinistra, youngster of humanoid creatures.
Stealth is too fast, he can kill you with very rapid damage in 1 second so use Ultra Slow from Tempus + Thermal vision from Mercury to slow down the Stealth movement.
As summon, Stealth will help you with various magic spells from Black Magics to White magics but his useful skills are the Ultra Barrier and Ultra Shield and Auto Life.
Stealth overdrive is Blitz Execution which he will strike all enemies with very fast physical attacks then finished with non elemental giant blast to all enemies. His overdrive also dispelling all the positive status from enemies.

Paragon is the last guardian creature, the most difficult optional boss and the biggest size of guardian creature (height = 9 - 10 meter).
Paragon is a giant demi God mecha with lower body shape like Neue Ziel in Gundam, upper body part is armless humanoid looking creature with giant peacock shape shield on his back and 7 elemental giant blades on the edge of peacock shield represented the 7 days of creation in Bible.
Paragon is actually the perfect model of DEUS Creature type 10 as there was back story of DEUS Creature from type 01 to 09 since tens of the thousands of years ago.
Paragon is being sealed inside the Forbidden Temple to keep him from being misused by human but after tens of thousands years later, the temple get filled with very strong fiends, the temple slowly became abandoned ruins.
To get Paragon, you must get both Tempus and Stealth first in order to unlock a new quest for getting Paragon.
The journey to get Paragon is really really difficult.
First, you must defeat Centaur (Iron Giants with horse body) as the gate guardian of Forbidden Temple, then you must get inside the Forbidden Temple (filled with strong fiends) and unseal the chamber of Paragon.
But you must fight with Argentum first (Spiky looking half mecha creature) then Aurum (similar as Argentum but with gold color).
After you defeated both of them, the hidden room will be unsealed and you will find another room that lead to chamber of Paragon.
Paragon is very strong but his movement is very very slow.
His attack can deal damage more than 10K, his Nova blast can deal damage more than 100K.
His HP as Boss is the highest from all Bosses, 10 Million HP..
Paragon as summon will boost your HP with Double HP, One MP cost, Auto Regen, Auto Life during battle. His normal attack are Crush and Laser Beam.
Paragon overdrive is Hyper Nova, a giant supernova blast to all enemies with non elemental damage more than 1 Million damage (4 times damage for Holy weakness enemies)

Well, I explained every detail of Jupiter and his summon creatures.
I will tell more the other planetary heroes next time.

Good morning.
Today is 29 March 2025, a celebration of Nyepi or Day of Silence in Bali, Indonesia.

@Pastellioli Sorry I'm late! The past few days have been difficult.

Yeah. I dunno many squirrel characters ether. It's weird. Similarly, I really like kitsune for their transformation abilities (Imagine your superpower being "All of the above".), but do not know that many depictions of them being able to do it like that.

Yup. If you have Nekomata Sakura in your base, she says that she's heard Nekomata can bring back the dead. If she had that power, she'd... (she cuts off)

Yea. My art has had higher and lower points, but generally isn't functional. It used to be I had more patience, but that went away. Which is why I currently want my art to be more text or idea based. And for my idea of a continuation, yeah. It was weird seeing some of it was already done. Part of the idea was to have a new generation cast, but with a new ultimate driving goal, and some returning cast. My idea would have been used to have Future Trunks as a permanent main character who lost everything.

Your idea being too similar to 3 Houses feels like nonsense to me honestly. It wasn't a magic school. They were factions from different countries coming together in a time of peace, only for war to break out, and the school more or less perishes. Though the students were teens, nothing else was too similar. Besides, the "school with conflicting factions" idea has been used a lot. So yours might be different enough to stand out in the genre. Your other idea sounds neat too honestly! It can't possibly be as bad as the endgame of Naruto's anime, with some 50+ named characters all getting their own spotlights. Apparently, they seemed to have been planning initially to give each named character 2 episode dream sequences for an arc just before the finale, so that upset some ppl...

Yeah, I need to stop falling to that too. However, lately, things have genuinely gotten bad. Financial support is being cut. Or the insurance. Idk which. Cause someone decided it'd be a good idea for the financial support to suddenly gift me more money than I'm allowed to have at any one time. And yesterday was genuinely awful. Gonna have to recover from that. One of those days where, a LOT of the ppl significant to you end up suffering greatly.

@Mariotag it’s fine! No need to apologize.

Yeah, I also don’t really see kitsune in media with transformation abilities, even though it’s a very prominent aspect of it. Only one I recall was with the Yo-kai Watch anime, but even then the kitsune in that one only changed into human form (from what I saw in season 1) when he appeared. His human form was more of a disguise and less of a transformation.

I see, that’s cool. I don’t think I’ve ever seen nekomata Sakura before…I have a decent amount of heroes (around 300 or so) but there are more than a 1000 of them, and some are missing and have question marks when I look at my hero gallery, so I haven’t seen all of the heroes yet.

I haven’t drawn in months, so I am hoping that my art skills are the same when I go back. Though the first thing I’m doing is changing my art style again. One frustrating thing is art block. Sometimes I feel like my art skills are stagnant or I draw the same things all the time. I like drawing animal characters a lot but that’s mostly it. I’m more into character design a lot. That idea is pretty cool. Usually, I don’t have ideas for media I’m a fan of, but if there’s a fandom I know of that likes writing and drawing their own ideas for what they like, it’s maybe the Sonic fandom. I’ve gotten recommended a lot of cool alternative universe ideas and stories a few of them came up with. One I’ve seen a lot was a darker post-apocalyptic version based on a storyline from the Archie Sonic comics.

I’d say the different factions at the school in my story kind of acted more like clubs and less like classes, not to mention that the factions had no actual leader and no fighting broke out between the students. I am glad I didn’t make war a huge thing in my story if it was present a lot in Three Houses, though I don’t think I’ll work on it again. I kind of liked that Greek story I was making, but if I were to work on it again, I’d only have it focus on the personifications of the Solar System instead. I had way more fun writing them than the protagonist. Yeah, I think the only issue I had with the story was it had a lot of main characters, and I toned it down to maybe three. One issue I have with some things I watch or play is when the cast is so big it becomes unfocused and the rest of the cast is just there and doesn’t do anything, which, coincidentally, is an issue I had when I was randomly binge-watching the Ice Age sequels for the first time recently, though I also had other issues with the films besides the cast getting extremely big.

Sorry that things have been super rough lately. All that sounds bad, and I’m super sorry you’ve been feeling really down. There are times where it feels like bad stuff happens a lot and then escalates one day, or that it seems to keep repeatedly happening. That’s happened to me a few times and left me very disappointed and upset.

Tried out that Grok thing on Twitter to ask it a question comparing 2 yoghurt makers I was interested in. The response was actually pretty helpful. I did buy one and looking forward to starting to make my own vegan yoghurts.

However, now every follow up question to unrelated matters is tinged with yoghurt references. Such as how I might like Pokemon Violet, because the content is thick, like greek yoghurt. Or how another game is smooth, like yoghurt etc.

Not everything needs to be compared to yoghurt Mr. Grok!

So..no...I don't think AI is going to take over and kill us just yet.
