Just when you thought you were safe~ AMA/Whois Hilda
Chase replied to Chase's topic in General Discussion
Ame My dream home isn't something I have put too much thought into recently, due to just dreaming of having the ability to call a place home as of late. After consideration though, I would just want there to be a place that allows me to live, succeed, and be with people I love. Size, quality of amenities, etc are small issues, so long as I few safe wherever I am. c: Last summer, I broke my ankle in two places and had to have it surgically repaired. Post-Op however ended up being a bit scary because my surgeon was concerned with my high blood rate - to the point where he had prescribed me blood thinners (that even my MOTHER wouldn't let me take). The concern was that I may have begun to clot, which is not normal for younger adults as far as post surgery is concerned. That's about as close I have been to death. I know it's not much, but it's better than "No." c: I was using a rhyming name in my response and just hoped for the best. I was wrong. As far as the intent, yeah, it went over my head. Sorry. c: Gaunt, we actually agreed on option 'A' on Ame's thread about event Pokemon. c: I think it's "possible" that there may be other living things out there. I won't affirm as such until it is proven for certain. Especially if you throw on the word "intelligent" life forms that are comparable to humans. I knoooooooow, me either. It sounds SO glorious right now I do indeed like polar bears. Cubchoo and Beartic are some of my favorite aesthetic Pokemon. Those coke commercials are always cute. and you can bear-ly see them in their environment, which is pretty neat. -

I don't -really- know if I want to see more of NPC Hilda in the game. The particular grunt in question predates my membership around these parts, and actually didn't reflect me outside of nomination until recent episodes. For obvious reasons, Meteor Ace Hilda is my favorite Meteor in the game and I wouldn't be -opposed- to taking more significance, but I don't think that's feasible as the story is already written out, and I want Ame to take her game in the direction -she- wants to take it. I would most definitely pre-order Snow White version.....or whatever the remake would be called. C: No because those people aren't Christians at all. ....okay, "Yes"...and those people are one of my largest pet peeves. The way homosexuality is addressed in the new testament is considerate urging against it, due to what God had said on the matter previously. As Ghost mentioned above, Jesus dined and reclined with sinners - so to see today's "Christians" be so entitled as to actually put down other people just because they themselves are not guilty of a particular sin makes me seriously cringe...or desire to slug someone so hard they fall off a bridge. There are some religious beliefs that are -not- to be respected, but that's not as a "Ima Christian, your belief is wrong" point of view, but more on a matter of National Security and protecting one's self. That being said, yes, Christians are still guilty at times for being intolerant at times. We're -allowed- to disagree, but we are not allowed to mock or disparage. The best we can do is plant seeds. Whether or not people want to look to "our" God is between the individual and said God. I enjoy the Mario RPG games (Super Mario RPG and the Paper Mario Series combined, RuneScape, Tactical Shooters such as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Various sports titles, The Elder Scrolls, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, various fighting games like Tekken or Smash, various racing games such as Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing, the Mario Party series, Life simulation games are a guilty pleasure (the Sims, Spore)....and I -think- I covered everything -not- Pokemon... I think, looking at every loose end that we have yet to scientifically explain away, and every mathematical constant that can't be in the slightest changed, and every living thing and natural process and the history of humanity itself, that some sort of 'intelligent design' was involved, as opposed to life on our planet being complete chance. It's a question of "what is" that intelligent design, and I -personally- believe God is the best explanation. It's safe to say a lot of "Christians" may not like who Jesus actually is, if He were to come back today. Admittedly, I might have. I think you were going for "stick with what you were believe is true" or something...I -thought- I was tracking with you, but that doesn't mean I was. Sorry. :C I have seen Him at work. I've seen the kind of transformation His influence has on others and I've seen Him in my own life. It's difficult to explain and it's not something I use to say -others- should believe, but for -me-, it's not really a choice, else I'd be lying to myself. The appearance was my affirmation and solid foundation of my faith today. I wouldn't be so convicted if I hadn't had that experience to begin with. Hi I love you hi. c: ....French Toast. (I like waffles and pancakes equally, but both are quite inferior to French Toast) You, Jericho, My friend Paul, My friend Jess, Jesus HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....you think I'm just going to give you -all- the answers don't you? (An Ideal breakfast would anything so long as there's coffee involved. I'll let you go trial and error for now. <3) Chocolate. Yes, you seem peckish. <3 I didn't....even bother to check my phone because I'm the worst girlfriend ever. It's a trap?! -

Definitely an ass gal ........oh you want the ...other question answered.... (As a female, the booty don't give you back pain.) I want to visit Vancouver, Canada. I always thought that was a really cool city and a bit more American influenced than the French cultural hub in Quebec. -
I'm actually looking forward to playing this. I haven't played a PMD since Red Rescue Team.

I'm kind of that "awkward" person at the LGBT ball when it comes to "sexual" relationships due to to being the least sexy thing on the planet (so much so that the very act at this point is only enjoyable if I get the sense of my partner enjoying it.) As far as my -romantic- relationship, I'm very lucky to have a partner who understands how I feel about God and how I feel about fixing the inequities that -very much- are there. Any right winger worth their salt would have to look at every possible situation in which LGBT relationships and families -are- in-equal -and- can be fixed without infringing on "Separation of Church and State" - which, for those of you that are wondering, isn't what keeps churches from influencing politics, it's what keeps the government from limiting one's right to have their own faith and live by it. Instead of making marriage an umbrella term and going so far as to deny people the right of refusal, We can always push for encouraging use of our Justices of the Peace and improve the financial and government rewards for being in civil unions that are not classified as marriage to where they are on equal footing. The only disparagement would then be the belief that you aren't "married" - and in all honesty, it only takes the couple in question to spend the rest of your days with each other. There isn't a need for a Justice of the Peace/Minister or even God. For the believers who are in the same boat as me, there's the grace that was given to us on the Cross to look up to each and every day, which makes it feasible to believe in a God who has thrown down the gauntlet while spending your days with the person you love. That's the beauty of my God, He has enough faith in ME to give me the choice, and so long as I pursue Him back, He will be there. I'm not familiar with European politics, but that's really neat. Being myself and sticking up for what I hold as valuable is the plan, Stan. (Is Stan your name? ) I am into all genres, but I prefer Alternative Rock, Christian Rap, and Electronic Dance above all others. As far as movies, I like historically accurate action films (Gladiator), GodlyWood (God's Not Dead, Courageous, Facing the Giants), and tactful comedy movies...can't name one off the top of my head, hadn't seen one in a while. I believe God's purpose for His creation -wasn't- what I have in mind, and I don't think that's a stigma so much as it is absolute truth. You're right. To each their own~ but that's what makes God good. We are encouraged to question His judgement through our bestowed free will, and we are allowed to make mistakes, so long as we find our way back to His arms when the dust settles. He let's -us- figure it out, and doesn't quit on us when we make mistakes. I wish that the "Christian" was a better example in general as to who "Christ" was, because too often we get people who do a poor job of shining their light and it seemingly has fed this natural tendency to label the churchgoer as an antique bigot who doesn't care about every/anyone but themselves, and often they are hypocritical and unaware and just flat out wrong. There are many reasons I was skeptical in earlier years, and those reasons are things that should be fought and reformed by the body of Christ - but as far as God is concerned, I respect His statutes to know that while I may be deviant, I am not condemned and was created so that I may -not- be a robot for the Master, but a free thinking individual child of said Master who can acknowledge and atone for her mistakes and approach others as Jesus did. My dream job would be a metropolitan church planter. Church planters start churches in places where there is a considerable need for a Christian community to gather and support one another and the surrounding community, and one of the places of greatest need happens to be urban areas, where the only Jesus people here is from the mean, crotchety street preacher who doesn't know Jesus himself, and the buildings don't have steeples and the love of Christ isn't always there. I also think cities are REALLY cool, being a suburban, nearly rural dweller at the moment, and would like to live in some metropolis someday. .....hmm... I use the Scizor theme for the Reborn-...oh, just kidding, I don't know how to get the youtube box to show up in -in- the forum, so have a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHa21-M8HOw (if it doesn't work for you the song is 'Fight' by the band 'Icon For Hire') I have no idea why you would think that, so I can't answer this question. <3 Sometimes, I just like to watch the world burn. C:....and also, yes, the ability of flight would be -very- convenient, and kinda fun. No capes though. Capes are only cool when you can't fly. -

I can't dance to save the life of me. Key Lime Pie is one of my favorite desserts of all time. I could live off of the stuff. Pumpkin and Apple are also very delicious. *stops eating bacon mid-bite*..............ahahahha....ha....ha.....Yeah, I like pigs. I just hope more people ask. It doesn't matter what questions I get. c: -
Before you hooligans grab your torches and pitchforks, I had this (apparently -not-) so good idea in my first Mews and Announcements post. You all should know the drill. Ask a question, and I'll get to some/all of them when I get the time. In the meantime, have some free dirt. My name is Hilda. I am currently working for some city in the middle of Texas as a Recreation Leader. I have lived in said city in the middle of said Texas my entire life, but have had the opportunity to visit several different places, including Mexico, and various United States areas from coast to coast. My fields of interest/expertise are Christian Ministry, Christian Theology, World Religion, Human Relations, and World History. I have served as a youth minister and a summer camp counselor in the past, and am currently serving as a Global Moderator for Reborn, which is my most out-of-character experience because online moderation is a completely different ballgame than moderating people in the flesh. Throughout however, one thing remains constant. I am a person who enjoys working with people, be it through a text based medium thousands of miles away or on the same playground, church parking lot, campsite, etc. I have already established above, but I -do- believe Jesus was the risen Messiah and that He is the lord of my life. This is a topic of contention that may cause others to not like me or attack me - but I have scholarly experience and outside-of-Scripture reasoning to hold said beliefs. It's almost as if one could say "She doesn't believe in God, she KNOWS God." - which I believe is the entire purpose of the Christological narrative. It's not about believing in a higher power, but believing that the Creator actively seeks us out and makes sacrifices of His own to pursue us. Rather than being an entity to be revered and put on a pedestal God is an entity that wants a mutual relationship with us. That being established, I like to think of myself as a pursuer of absolute truth over ideals, and this methodology reigns supreme in every action I take. This is not the only approach I take and I am not as consistent with said view as I would like to be, but I feel that knowing the truth of each individual situation (cross referencing multiple viewpoints, and doing legitimate research and observation) is the best way to determine a course of resolution. I also feel that truth is harder to question than ideology, and is thus a more effective means of action. Some of you may mock me proclaiming to be a truthseeker AND a religious person - and this is the internet, I am well aware that I am not amongst only open-minded scholars. It's nothing new. Politically, I am what one would call a weak or moderate Conservative in every sense of the word. I am only slightly leaning to the right. I am right in the middle of the spectrum with regards to Libertarianism or Authoritarianism. Causes that I feel are particularly important are the protection of Religious Freedoms, Abolishing "unnecessary and unneeded if properly avoided" Abortion rights, and maintaining a Small Government that doesn't overstep the Constitution. These three causes alone are all on the conservative agenda, as religious people, pro-Lifers, and Small Govt. Supporters tend to vote for more Conservative candidates. However, Liberals do a better job of handling Social issues, and if Conservatism ever wants to take giant strides ahead of other political ideologies into the political arena, they need ot concede and be a bit more Bipartisan to peoples of color, differing sexuality, low socio-economical status, and other countries. An interesting contrast that I have is I am in a loving same-sex relationship that I wouldn't trade for any worldly thing ~ and oppose same-sex marriage being a national mandate. As a Christian I wake up everyday to have to come to terms with the concept being abominable according to God, but I also understand that God gave me the ability to make my own choices and that regardless of what sin we put in the spotlight, that I'm forgiven. I oppose political action that favors my relationship however, because currently the LGBT community (of which I am a part of, mind you) has an agenda that in it's quest to be equal, tramples over the rights of religious people to refusal on the grounds of their faith. I already listed above that I deem religious freedom to be of more importance -personally- than marriage "equality". This in NO way means I am being discriminatory, and I make it a point to respect the sexuality of others and treat my opponents with love (the internet is not the best medium to convey emotion and intent, so if I seem to be straying from being loving, PLEASE keep this in mind.) Speaking of sexuality, I identify as an Asexual. I have a passion for discussion and debate. It's one of the ways I get to see how others think and how they convey their emotions. Everything else, as well as clarifications, I'll leave for you to question. Have fun!

Chuck Norris originally had a brand of toilet paper named after him, but he had it recalled because Chuck Norris doesn't take crap from anyone.

I personally don't think that Microtransactions will be -much, if -at all- impactful on the main series games. With 'Rumble' it makes sense. The thing that mobile games have going for them is that they are games that are pleasure inducing and they actually take the anatomical processes behind pleasure into the account. The early game is fast paced and really easy, and then the game gets difficult, and the game blocks progress to keep the player 'addicted', which for many players, makes games like 'Candy Crush' sooooooo good. It doesn't translate that easily into adventure based RPGs. Micro transactions tend to be cosmetic best case scenario and they are much more vilified in said platform. As a form of accessability, I could see 'P2P IVs' and possibly DLC, but if the game needs it's basic features to come with individual pricetags, Gamefreak and Nintendo won't hear the end of it. Breeding and EV training will always be there though. I would reckon.

Gluttony: I'm going with Swalot. It's whole existence is to devour things. Even more so than Snorlax. Lust: Lopunny. In the basest sense of the word, this Pokemon fit's it best. Sloth: Slaking. A -very- powerful pokemon that comes with a less than ideal amount of effort. Envy: Banette. This discarded plaything is often cited to be vengeful. I think the root of that would be this deadly sin. Pride: Prinplup. This starter struggles with personal pride so much, it's it's pokedex entry. Wrath: Gyarados is the rage Pokemon. Greed: Hoopa. The greatest theif/hoarder in the pokemon universe.

No. The Looker cameo in ORAS has one purpose only (reward the player with the Audinite) and serves to provide an open ended resolution to the Kalos cameo. Basically, Looker washed up on the shore of Hoenn's Battle Frontier and can't remember his stint in Kalos nor his current purpose.
-
I -called- it.

Fun fact: Alder has a fairly balanced team with the highest leveled Pokemon outside of Red on the initial battle. Alder also packs a Druddigon over Hydreigon. <3 The kicker is of course having your real championship match delayed untill after the credits thanks to N crashing the party.

I always get the chuck norris impression from Hworang. Dunno why.

My side characters are Paul Pheonix, Marshal Law, and Julia Chang. Tekken was a game my dad got me into. He mained Law for as long as I can remember. Law is like the Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan overhyped martial artist you see in the movies. If I wanted to play Tekken while in a "good mood" I might choose him over Anna. Law is a feel good character who is no words all action, and he's very fun to play. Paul is a character that as Flux mentioned, is user friendly. I would go Paul to re-acclimate with the controls. Julia is a random-ish classic character. Spiritual, ..but also a forest researcher/scientist? She fights to make a real difference. Cool backstory.
-
I'm going to go ahead and say my favorite opponent as far as Champions are concerned is ...Actually Alder. He's not your one-step-ahead-of-you rival. He's not the badass dragon tamer or chick with the Garchomp. He's not glamorous or -really- into rocks. He's just an older Pokemon trainer whos team is founded on love. So much so that battling him for me was a joy. Forgettable guy, Alder, but a good experience.
-
Things I want to see in Gen 7 - A "jerk" rival. - Gen 5 esque difficulty options made available as soon as you open the box. Or better than those. - Another unique theme for starters (Kalos had traditional RPG classes) - Trainer Customization (from the onset more, giving boutiques a sort of completionist feel) - the DexNav returning - More out of the way areas. Less streamlined than previous titles. Reward exploration. - Gym Leaders and Elite Four members involved in the story more. - An evil team with general appeal to older audiences (such as morality questioning or a deeper plot) - continued ease of access for competitive battlers. - good postgame story elements - another Looker cameo (those are great)
-
I thought hard on this one. And I'm going to say Flaaffy to Ampharos.

What??? Even though Hilda is the best protagonist ever () if I were going to recommend a game to someone who hadn't played pokemon before. It would be BW/BW2. Generation 5 brought me back to the series and felt like the game grew up as I did. The story was hands down the best. The art style was amazing, and it validated my purchase of DS when Gen 4 failed to bait me and HG/SS, while good, wasn't terribly exciting. A lot of people are pulling for Pokemon Z because X/Y were underwheming storywise. THING IS... ΩRαS wrapped the generation up. The Delta Episode was literally about mega evolution. All of the Pokemon are obtainable in the current generation now. Masuda already confirmed that they were going to wrap Gen 6 up differently. If you liked the Delta Episode. That was the resolution.
-
I don't know why I'm thinking of Tekken - but it's one of the earliest games I've played and one of the few questionable church lock-in games that I know and love. My "main" character is a classic roster spot holder. Anna Williams. Anna is a promiscuous woman and sister to playable character Nina Williams. The two share a common thorn with me. They can't STAND their sibling. Their entire plotline is that one of them is going to beat the living crap (kill) the other in the King of the Iron Fist Tournament. Every. Single. Installment. Those of you that know my heart -and- your Tekken will know that I -actually- relate more to Nina. Anna is my sister to a tee, and playing her reminds me of Emily's perspective being as important as mine and helps me cope better than -actually- killing her.
-
I -really- enjoy GT. As Pokemon fans, it's easy for us to discredit outside research as obvious, but MatPat really does put in a TON of effort into his videos (see his recent theory on GTA)
-
For me, the Fourth generation was the time Pokemon was fading in appeal. I had overplayed gen 3 and I was not sold on any of the three starters. Reasons I want to see a Gen 4 remake: - Unova confirmation needs to happen. - I'm quite impressed with current gen quality in graphical capability and aside from the distortion world, the graphics in gen 4 were not very unique imo. - I kinda have bought in on current functionality - my DSLite is broken. Personally, I think ORAS was a good enough fill in the gaps game this generation. Nintendo needs to cycle Event only Pokemon and mooove on to Gen 7.
