This seems like really good advice to tell you. Your grades still matter. Colleges can still rescind their acceptance if your grades drop too far and you of course still need to pass all your classes to graduate high school, but your grades do matter a lot less now. (they probably won't do anything unless you fall below like a 2.0 average for the semester final)
You've still more or less made it through high school though. Congratulations!
Congrats buddy! As someone who's also made the transition to university relatively recently, ik the struggle full well. But dw, if you've managed to get all the way to this point it means you must be doing something right!
Also, if you've got any scholarships (or are hunting for them), you'd best be sure that they're not GPA-dependent before you check out completely.
Castlevania is in such a bizarre state. They are seemingly willing to put lots of budget and care into tv shows, crossovers, literally everything EXCEPT a new mainline game
My hope is that all of this (the show, the crossovers, the collections of old games on Steam) is their way of gradually rebuilding their installed base for an eventual proper return of the games. I'd certainly understand executive hesitation to just come back with a new game out of nowhere after a decade of neglect. If they are planning a new installment at some point, I do wonder what it'll look like since Koji Igarashi is no longer at the company, and I don't know if he'd have any interest in coming back.
Tangentially related but I've been wondering for a while if the smash success of Pizza Tower (and now possibly Antonblast?) has raised any conversations at Nintendo about doing a proper Wario Land 6
who gaf anyways. they peaked with aria of sorrow ngl
i do want a new mainline 2d castlevania though. would be fun.
Since the breloom appreciation thread got shut down for breaking the rules, is now a good time to necropost on the shuckle appreciation thread that predates that rule?
no
I got an ice cream maker over the summer and have gotten tired of most of the basics. Do you have any flavor suggestions? My next project is chocolate orange.
Well, what do you mean by "basics"? I've got some ideas, but I don't wanna accidentally recommend something you've already made.
Marvel Rivals feels like the hero shooter equivalent to Dragon Ball FighterZ: It managed to break into a crowded field by 1) using a highly recognizable and beloved IP to get casuals on board and 2) coming out at a time when the primary incumbent in its genre has seen a precipitous decline in esteem in large part due to an unsatisfactory new entry (Overwatch 2 and, ironically, Marvel VS Capcom Infinite).
Frankly, it's WAY better off on Point 1. Dragon Ball's cool and all but even I acknowledge that it utterly pales in comparison to having the entire Marvel universe at your fingertips.

I feel like there's a third thing which is that the only other mainstream alternatives (which for hero shooters would be something like tf2 and for fighting games would be guilty gear) are all really competitive and have a really high skill floor which makes them seem like bad options for new and inexperienced players. I'm not going to call any of the games you mentioned "skilless" but I will admit that it is far easier for less experienced players to do fun shit and not get wiped 10 times over in the other games than it is for tf2/guilty gear.
edit* forgot potemkin exists, guilty gear doesnt require skill either
in a sense, are they not keeping a diary of their own? one to mull over.
perhaps
honestly I don't even blame them, it's just the walls that are very thin in our complex. Sometimes, when neighbours stand by the walls and talk, it sounds like they stand in my living room. I hear about every step my upstairs neighbours take. It's kinda creepy
Felt this. There's always one of these couples in the building, and you just pray that you don't happen to end up next to them.
Saving this masterpiece for later
diary normally implies writing with ink
like literally what scenario do you go "who are my top five people i'm going to for advice? let's see, a mod, the leader of ou, arguably the most well-known competitive singles player on the planet, and also daddybuzzwole and heatranator"
I hate rhydon
For some reason all of the bathroom's outlets in my house are connected.
