Was looking for this damn thing. Hello there everyone!
I've been looking for remnants of you for quite sometime, although it's literally been nine or so years since I was actively part of your communities. I used to go by "Riku" nearly a decade ago, but I've been going by Database for three or four years now. I won't be offended if I am not remembered... 2006-2008 was a loooooong time ago. |

Ah, yes. Lol totally. Anything for the mission, Dave.
Thanks! |

So I want to start up a sorta fun little arena fighting game for you guys to enjoy. I've recently gotten extremely friendly with Amiibo's for Smash Bros. U, and I would love to host little betting matches and fake hype trailers with little back-stories for each of them and make this as ridiculous as possible for myself, because it's my definition of fun.
We currently have 2 Mario 2 Samus 3 Luigi 2 Pikachu 2 Captain Falcon 1 Diddy Kong 1 Kirby 1 Link 1 Yoshi 2 Bowsers 1 Rosalina 1 Donkey Kong 1 Peach 1 Pit 1 Wii Fit Trainer 1 Little Mac 1 Meta-Knight 1 Toon Link 1 Shulk with these on the way: 1 Ike 1 Megaman 1 Sonic I'll probably do all sorts of commentary and stuff and load plenty of info here for you guys to play around with and make bets that don't actually matter, I'll keep up with your stats, and we'll tally all of them together at the end of the series and I'll declare a winner. I just wanted to see who might be interested first before I put waaaay too much work into this. :3 |

Perhaps. It's from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
copypasta An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship's computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time. |

Bleh, I'm so unmotivated to do anything lately. I work like 60+ hours and it feels as though creativity is dead for me. |

I had a ridiculously large amount of panic attacks about three or so years ago. Anxiety is no joke... It just randomly ended though. I haven't had one since 2012, pretty much.
I just remember it being the absolute worst feeling in the world. More so than any sickness or sadness or anything. The lack of control was my biggest fear. |

I took out loans when I was 18.
They are coming back at me in full force and frustration. |

If I wasn't too busy creeping/lurking on the rest of you, I'd post more often then I do. I'm just the mood to post for some reason. |

As it stands, I am a man who is heavily in debt. I was convinced by my mother to take out loans. I was 18... I am now 22. I will be 23 in November.
And I'm facing a terrible mental crisis. There is the part of me that realizes I should be working nonstop, like 55+ hours a week to pay for all of my bills, buy food, take care of myself. But the side of me that is taking over, and wants to say screw the more secure lifestyle, is investing a large sum of money into equipment. Electronics. Because I only want to do YouTube stuff. Editing is literally an addiction for me, and I realize that all of my internet comes from gaming personalities. So... The other day, I snapped. The second side won over. I had car troubles, ice and snow were everywhere, and I had my scheduled changed on me without my knowledge. I was six hours late before they called me to let me know. I walked outside, pissed, slipped on a large collection of ice, and bashed my head. I laid there for about ten minutes in pain before I called in... and quit my job. Then I decided to take on another job, (bottom of the barrel job) and then I just... work two-three days a week, free lance editing every other days. I'm living on the bare minimum. Super minimum. But I'm so much happier. I'm not sure if I'm being delusional, and I don't even want to make a ton of money on YouTube or anything... I just want to be a large part of that community. And I'm happy that I'm doing that. Am I being delusional about what I want? |

Spent all of yesterday editing... I completely neglected my bodily functions for ten hours, and thus almost died of starvation after immediately moving >.> |

Posted by Lili~ ♥ Yo, I completely understand that. I hate most forms of communication with people in general. How I worked a year for Verizon customer service is beyond me. Most people can't even hear me properly... my vocals are too deep for decent phone conversation. |

Here's a few of myself, and a photo of me and my brothers during Christmas a few months ago.

Up until my early high school years, the announcer from Super Smash Bros. Melee ruined my ability to properly say the word melee. May-lay is the correct pronunciation, but he said it incorrectly in the opening for some reason.
Super Smash Bros. MELEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *epic music* |

I can! I sorta neglected replying for some reason... I just did a video over them that's in post production. I'll just post my notes on the subject straight away from my informative bits.
Well, Amiibo's are Nintendo's comparible equivilant to Skylander figures, or Disney Infinity figures... they're scanned into the Wii U gamepad with near field communication technology. A character is then spawned of the figures likeness, and you are prompted to enter a nickname and choose a costume. The amiibos are then born as potentially brain dead Lvl 1 CPU opponents. Not only are they infants born of pain and misery, their statistics are also much lower than the average fighter. Interestingly enough, after one battle lasting around three minutes, he gained about five levels. What is it that makes an Amiibo level? I don't actually know... It just seems to happen at random intervels. You'll be beating their brains in and they're suddenly decide they're smarter and stronger than before. Defeat just makes them stronger. Amiibos gain 50 levels before they cap out, and their stats go from being horrifyingly bad to ridiculously good. It's like the Amiibo are the Unsullied of the CPU world. Because not only is their stats far better than yours, but whatever fighting style your amiibo was pitted against, they are likely now better than you are. No joke, these amiibo are better than you if you do not have an advanced understanding of the game. Ifyou're coming in with basic smash skills, Amiibo are not for the casual gamer. If you took the option to feed your amiibos carefully, you'll notice they also have 120 points that can be allocated to stats similarly to custom fighters. If you do not feed them, their level 50 stats are still significantly higher than base stats. You can also give them unique special abilities with drawbacks involving much lowered defence, strength, or speed. Similarly, you can make your amiibo worse at basic functions at the expense for more improved stats such as slower running, no perfect shielding, or less time on ledges. You should note that regardless of the option you choose... the maximum amount of points allowed still rests at 120. You should never choose to take negative effects, and likewise, all of your amiibos (if you are actually building them with abilities) should be stocked up on the most carefully choosen powers... because you can make back any stat drain. But how well do the Amiibos learn? Quite well. They're a bit derpy at times, and you can't really decide what it is that it should learn from your encounters, but it tries its hardest to emulate you. On top of boosting it up to ridiculous feats of strength, it follows your avoidant behavior, your engagement, your button inputs... everything really. It learns a few things on its own, but for the most part it becomes you. This leads to a weird Amiibo talent curve. If they aren't trained properly at first, they never reach their full potential. Nintendo claims that they keep learning even after they hit 50, but I've noticed that their bad habits they got from earlier levels is still very prominant and sticks around forever. But if you train them correctly... they are a force to be reckoned with. Meet WaveShine, a level 50 Fox Amiibo entered in a Candian tournament as a joke. It was knocked out of the first round, but managed to climb an entire losers bracket before losing in the semi-finals. It's pretty exciting stuff... I can't wait for the Amiibo tournaments to crop up. And with so many Amiibos, we had many opportunities to train them different ways. So I can safely recommend they are worth training... but keep in mind that Amiibos, like most A.I., have glaring problems with solving the mind game that is the latest installment of smash. They will be a challenge to most, but for you elites out there, you will never lose to these CPUs if you discover their lapses in reasoning. Should you buy them though? The answer is yes. Yes you should. They're not perfect... but they're pretty good. And how long does it take to get them to 50? No more than an hour and a half usually. |

Much appreciated with the reply. I had quickly become discouraged with life when it felt like every step that I took moving forward, someone pushed me back. I've reevaluated my finances and after my taxes returned, I pumped it all into rent. I'm still working 25-30 hours a week, continuing to push rent as far away from now as possible.
You see, I'm a part of a trio who really wants to make this work. I'm the video editor (anything production) and it takes a long time even to do five or ten minute videos. I've bought everything I need, and now I'm putting back money for art, and all this sort of thing, but... man. It is stressful to budget for advertising (or knowing the best place to go for YouTube related ads), editing everyone's videos (All on Monday, Me on Tuesday, Friend 1 on Wednesday, Friend 2 on Thursday, Amiibo Arena match on Friday, higher production video every fourth Saturday), as well as paying artists for certain things. It's stressful, but I'm managing. I guess I'm not used to being forced to be a leader, but man... it's stressful. My brain hurts. It's why I posted here. For some kinda therapeutic resolution for myself, an extra leg. |

Games of Thrones. That is one of the greatest strides in television I've seen since I was born... Popular programming is usually awful. But this show is the opposite of anything bad.
How can you not want to know what happens with this character? |

Posted by TieragePosted by Database I was working on a video for my channel that I'm revamping and launching in July. We bought all the equipment we needed... It just sucks that I'm the only editor. This one covered how Nintendo amiibos worked. Posted by Squiddy Same. I often don't even notice until I have to move. |
