More Smash and other things and titles continue to be hard to come up with

Turns out there is not wavedashing, I was incorrect. Although there is wavelanding, which is interesting. It apparently has tons of lag, though, so it isn't very useful. I could see it having less lag in the final version of the game, however. Idk, I just feel like it won't have tons of lag like it does right now.
Bayo might not be as OP as we thought. Apparently there was a couple bugs with her that allowed her to jump four times, which is crazy. Plus the ladder combo we saw was with a low ceiling against a large opponent (Ridley) and was played by someone who plays melee, not a lot of Smash 4, meaning he doesn't know how to effectively DI against Bayo. But still, I really hope Bayo isn't so good as she was in Smash 4.

Smash Ultimate looks more and more awesome the more I watch it. ZeRo (the best Smash 4 player ever) says it's, like, super crazy good. Almost strictly more fun than Smash 4. I want to play it. I want to be competitive. I'm planning on going on my mission a couple-few months after it releases, which means I'll only have a short time with it, but it's going to be great.

Mario Kart continues to be awesome. And addictive. It continues to beat my expectations. I was holding off on it because we didn't have a good enough NAT type to play online, but there is so much content without online anyway. But when we get through most of that, it will be nice to face people online.

Currently waiting for halftime in the Overwatch League game to get over. ESports is pretty great.

In a sudden turn of events I'm going on a week leadership trip thingy, which I'm kind of excited for. It'll be a good experience. I don't know what that will mean about my daily blog posts. Maybe I'll schedule some; I'm not sure.

Super Smash Brothers Ultimate

I'm mildly disappointed in Nintendo's direct. They showed Smash, some Fire Emblem, and that's basically it.

But holy guacamole does Smash look awesome. All the characters. I'll get to play as Pichu. That's kind of crazy. And Young Link. And Snake. And Ridley? Ridley still looks super weird in the game to me, but I'll get used to it.
The gameplay in sped up a little compared to Smash 4, which I think is awesome. There is wavedashing, but it's not as strong as it was in Melee, which I think is great.
The more you dodge, the more and more vulnerable you'll be, which I think is a great way to make spam rolling not as effective.
Bayonetta still looks OP, which is no bueno. But I have faith they'll nerf her before the release.
The entire art aesthetic and the graphic design and the intuitiveness is freaking amazing.
I want the game now. It releases, sadly, later than most people thought (it's releasing in December compared to September/October being what most people thought). But you can expect me to have that day set aside to play Smash.

And our NAT type randomly jumped up to a B, which is awesome because now we can play Splatoon 2 online. Plus Mario Kart 8 Deluxe online, which I bought today (it's super great, btw). And Smash online, when the time comes.
I also bought a gamecube adapter that works with the Switch (it'll be arriving on Saturday (I bought this online. I bought Mario Kart in a store)), which means we'll get to play with nice gamecube controllers. And we'll finally have a full set of controllers (before we were surviving off the two Joycon and one wired controller).

Quick Review of Reality Talent Shows

(Referring to shows such as America's Got Talent, American Idol, The Voice etc.)

I don't like them. They're somewhere between hate and dislike. Yep.

(although World of Dance (which I've never seen) looks decently interesting. It might not suck)

E3 Hype

Super Smash Bros on the Nintendo Switch is being shown off for the first time today in a couple hours. I am so hyped. I decided not to go into work today (we can go into work whenever we won't; there is no schedule (aka, I'm not skipping my shift or anything)) just so I can watch Nintendo's direct thingy live. We've been waiting so long for this and I am pumped. Today would be one of the greatest days ever if twenty one pilots randomly decided to end their hiatus. That would be cool. It's not going to happen, though.

I'll definitely make sure to report on my thoughts about Nintendo's direct afterwards. Either later today or tomorrow.

Ain't Been Posting Much

I haven't been-- urgh, this is weird, with the formatting not being the formatting I'm used to with my own blog-- a nice large Verdana. Look at that x-height! So this is, I'm not used to the default font here. It's fine though, we're all fine everybody's fine.

But I haven't been posting much anywhere lately, mostly for paranoia reasons regarding my computer crashing, and--

oh hi I'm Eric, this is a guest post. I suppose I should say that first off. Alex has been posting every day these past few, and I've been posting once every, what, few weeks? So it looks like our places have swapped; with Alex trying today to list every twenty one pilots song from memory, instead of blogging, he's asked me to post for him, and so I thought I'd take the opportunity to ~explain~ I guess, because what else would I post as a guest post on somebody else's blog when I'm barely posting on my own?

There was a Youth thing with President Nelson a week ago where they advised a challenge, which many took, to give up social media for 7 consecutive days, but even if I were a youth I wouldn't have had a problem with that. My problem is the opposite. My challenge is, or (if I were challenged as a challenge) would be, I should post on social media for seven consecutive days.

THE SEVEN PLACES I SHOULD POST BUT DON'T

• I've got three blogs:
• dielikeadisneyvillain.blogspot.com
• thingsthatdontevencomebackaround.blogspot.com
• pretzelizemecapn.wordpress.com
• Two instagram accounts
• @e.c.perazzo
• theprancingprinter
• like a facebook presence I gueeesss
• oh yeah that YouTube channel

The YouTube thing, well that's fun and complicated and hey I could post on my own blog 'bout that today about it, because I should post there today, and cycle on through on a seven-day, thing...

But we're leaving for scout camp on Saturday thereabouts, and I'm going to be without social media till we get back when that's over (not that I'm not used to that.) So I'm going to get as far as, my art IG account, before having to stop the cycle again. Not get to the YouTube thing, which is fine, and complicated.

Even if I post right when we get back, it would still have been longer between when I posted last and if I post now, than when I post now and when I post next. So.

WHY I'M NOT POSTING AND WHY MAYBE I SHOULD

~For some reason~ it's taken for granted that artists should "get their name out there" or whatever? And so the implication is that others' vice in using social media would be an artist's virtue. I'm like waaay bad at social media, and that'd be great if I'd been... actually, being bad at social media/publicizing is a bad thing no matter your occupation. I'm bad at advertising myself, outside of the social media thing; I've never been very good at even pricing my own work.

Also, like I made the promise to start making more visual art, so I could post it on my blog, and I haven't been doing that? Bad of me, bad of me. Although now that I've got a bedroom to myself again and can move my art supplies back in, it'll be easier to start making more arts. Although although, the reason I said to make those arts for my blog was so I could cross-post with Instagram, and this seven-day thing goes against that. Just, make a plan and stick to it?

WHAT I'VE BEEN WORKING ON INSTEAD

Mostly writing projects. I know I always say I'm getting close with this one or that one, but really we may actually see the creation of these within my lifetime. I'm close enough now to start worrying about production costs. Which. Why must everything be so expensive?
