Marcello

Really fun match, I forgot how much I enjoyed LC!

I'd give that proto-Focus blast a solid 8/10, it's super realistic at first but then it hits and breaks my immersion.

Terrin murmured to himself as he watched the carnage quickly erupting around him. "Huh, guess Dragon Guy didn't need my help. Those two and the dancer over there, though..." He pondered for a moment, before running over. "​Hey there ugly, lets see If your 'goddess' is smiling on you, eh?" H​e taunted as he quickly opened his tome to begin casting. M​ove to O14 and attack Soldier 2 with Thunder

Ecquis may be a Wyvern Rider but Mira is clearly a Ninja.

Terrin notices Ecquis flying down, preparing to pick off the lone soldier, and smirks to himself. "Dragon boy has the right idea, no idea if he's going to be able to pick that guy off on his own though...I need a good position to be able to help out in case he can't finish the guy off..." he muses, before looking around. Noticing a suitable spot near some trees where he'd be safe from enemy attack, he quickly runs over and stands in wait. M​oves to Q15

Today we are going to be learning about how different spellings of the same word can mean very different things, so listen up everyone, we're going on an adventure of Learning. ​Many of you​ have spoken to or interacted with Kurotsune while here on Reborn. I'm sure everyone that has ever had the pleasure of doing so can agree that Kuro is da Bawss. As you will also know, I have been working under Kuro on the development team of Reborn for a day or two over a year now. So Kuro has also for this time been my Boss.​ Being the Boss ​​is a job, whereas being d​a Bawss i​s a way of life. Kuro's life on this front certainly isn't changing any time soon. They are now, and will always be, d​a Bawss. By this point, many of you will have no doubt figured out where I'm going with this. Kuro is Kuro, and there's a certain amount of being big and powerful and in charge to that. Kuro has decided, however, that they shall no longer be t​he boss. They have decided to step down from their position leading the development team, remaining as a potential advisor and still, as always, my teacher. But of course is this not a disaster? After all, is the development team not now veritably boss-less? Surely Reborn as we know it will collapse without some gallant knight stepping up to the plate to accept the boss-ness? Some dashing young man or woman (​spoilers it's a man) t​o ride in on their faithful steed and save the day? Yes. Yes to all those things. Also I'm the boss now go me. Expect 20% more rambling, 30% more shitty jokes, 40% more Britishness and 2000000% more books. ​Also I'm totally still working on online so look forward for more info about that in the distant future probably after E16 because it's being a bitch rn tbh

We didn't speak that much but you were cool when we did. Wishing you all the best, here or otherwise.

Oh god why Ame, I just remembered how many days we spent trying to get that to work right why did something so seemingly simple have to have so many proooblems.

Cold. So cold. -If it's half as cool as our new electric beetle overlord I'll be a happy man, -I​ mean, why not? -'Omg Marcello how are you so damn pretty?' -'I'm just that great.' -I mean, most specific negative things which come to mind have lead to separate good things which I wouldn't really be willing to give up... I'd probably wanna make myself develop to work ethic I now have towards schoolwork like... 4 years ago.

As many jokes as there may be, the mathematician in me demands I say 2. I don't see why I gotta choose one, I like to consider I'm pretty thinky and feely. I guess which is more prominent depends on my mood. Often times bugs just need a good home to be rehabilitated into helpful productive game features. Ice or poison. Probably ice. -In theory, absolutely. I would most definitely want to do as he asked, although whether or not I found myself capable of it when put in the situation I do not know. -I would lean towards 'Yes, it's ethical, but it's also really icky.' *God no, that jumps icky right into unethical imo. -This feels like a TERRIBLE idea and no matter the odds there are some gambles you just shouldn't take. 40% is a LOT. I have a box full of shinies in Reborn that tells me 1% is a lot. -If I have to go through with one and follow through to the end then the bomb is the only feasible option there is no possible way I could individually kill all those people without turning the weapon on myself. Also if I absolutely have to kill a mass of people then one of these will take days and the other will take moments. Quicker option gives me more time to atone. Bomb all the way. -Yeah, while inaction is easier, I think I'd have to go ahead and do this one. I can save four of them, after all. *I mean, I'd really really hope either one of them consented or one of them was clearly an awful person. If neither of these happen, I really have no idea, I'm sure there'd be some medical criteria I could judge this on I guess.

Enjoy yourself and live your life in the happiest way for you, and try to help others do the same. Also butts, tbh. 1. There are loads of anime and games I'd love to be trapped in but like 90% of them would probably result in a quick and painful death for me because there's no guarantee I'd be anything other than some normal guy. Probably something like pokemon which doesn't require special powers on my part to be not-useless. 2. While the odds are in the favour of things not being worse if I pull the lever, inaction is easier. I'd see a distinct moral difference between not saving a guy and actively killing one or two other guys so... Yeah, don't pull. 3. For the sake of efficiency, frustration. Sure, there are some way worse emotions out there that I'd rather not have to deal with but I'm still here, so I know I'm capable of dealing with them, and they all come up WAY less often than frustration. Lots of things are frustrating, it seems like the most common unpleasant emotion so I'm sticking with that. 4. B​utts again, tbh.​ Just a dimension where I could sleep a lot and lucidly dream so I can sort of forget that I'm all alone. I may not be the most social person in the world but I still like having people around, I'd need some sort of coping mechanism like sleep and dreams to deal with total solitude. 5. Rather learn? Not really, I really enjoy scripting, a lot more than I expected to really, plus it's a cool skill to have. That said, knowledge is cool and I'm always up for learning new things so while I think there's nothing I'd RATHER do, persay, there's a hella lot on the project that looks fun and/or I'd want to improve my skills on. (If you had a magic teaching wand that improved my awful artistic skills and made me a spriter I would so take that.) But yeah, scripting rocks, I'm just happy to learn and feel useful.

Now, I don't consider myself even remotely good at coding. I've been going at this as a hobby for almost a year now and I would call myself a beginner. I like to think I'm a quick learner, and I can say with confidence I've learnt a pretty significant amount in this year, but I'm not at a point where I'd comfortably say I'm good. That said, to follow the sentiment of your question, I would say around about the time Dash left the team was when I really started to improve quickly, because it was naturally then that it dawned on me that 'Oh, I'm basically gonna need to do the rest of these bugs all on my own, I should git gud.' Also more recently in the last batch of bugs where Kuro was keeping a closer/more scrutinising eye on my work and progress I would say I improved leaps and bounds because they're a great teacher. While not one specific bug comes to mind, graphics & animation bugs are the devil. I would consider the section of the scripts which handles graphics/animations probably one of the most complex and involved script areas, and so whenever a bug pertaining to that sorta stuff came up it was going to be a big time investment because it inevitably takes longer just to work through and see what is actually going on. Shoutout to Cherrim, who wasn't reverting form when it lost it's ability (which is an issue Castform was also suffering from, incidentally) is something I spent a very long time on, and indeed I only partially fixed it and moved it on after spending like a week stuck on it or somesuch. Then I came back after the above mentioned period where Kuro was watching closely and I came up with a super easy fix super fast, but the length of time I spent on it without figuring said fix out gets an honourable mention, plus I do believe it was one of the last bugs I fixed. I have no idea, just a word I got from god knows where, probably made it up, when I was a kid and I just sorta stuck with it I guess, even though I rarely use it anymore these days.

Honestly there are very few pokemon that I actively dislike. The main one that comes to mind is Seaking because Goldeen is like this cool sassy fish and then Seaking is just like... a normal fish. And I hate it for ruining Goldeen's potential. I honestly don't travel around the country much, although I love the view of the river from out the back of KCL's Strand Campus so I guess that? KCL's strand campus as a whole is really nice but it's not a great answer because it's one of the few places I travel to often. Best is really close between Ice & Poison [Which is why we need an Ice/Poison type], but I think the outright winner is Ice. For the worst, just thinking of the type which has the smallest number of my favourite mons, I'm gonna say Water. It has Palkia, & Kingdra, & Kabutops, & Popplio (And Goldeen!) and then a bunch of stuff I care way less about. I can't speak for other countries but I think for us the Met Police is just more expansive than your cops and handles a lot of the FBI things, although there are probably focused/specific areas of government like HMRC which handles things which I would assume are FBI jurisdiction... Honestly I don't really know the American system so it's hard to say, and I'm hardly an expert on the British one either. I would advise it to impart it's wisdom of electricity onto others. Like me. And sharks. Electric sharks and Electric Marcellos please. EDIT: Because more replies happened. Tea time as all the time there is not a single time of day where it is not appropriate to have Tea. I am honestly coming up on a blank for historical Will(y)s. Willy Wonka was something I loved as a kid so, despite it being the obvious option, I'll go with that. I really like JRPGs a lot, even if I probably prefer SRPGs a bit more. Final Fantasy & the Bravely series' come to mind as big standouts, I think Bravely Second probably wins for me on both fronts, although I could talk for ages about the FFXIII games (although LR is an ARPG). I assume you're asking for my favourite pokemon game, which, assuming I'm not limited to the main series, is probably Conquest. Otherwise new is good and I'm a big fan of Gen VI, and have high hoops for Sun and Moon. And we have indeed had some fun conversations on Showdown, always glad to chat about games or whatever else! ​

If you can say so without spoiling, where did the general idea for Xenogene come from? How often do you travel abroad? Do you play Pokemon GO often, and if so, what level are you? Hoshido or Nohr?

...And she did, people have been asking Ame loads of questions! But I guess now you gotta settle for your favourite BRITISH Reborn Dev* because last time AMA season rolled round I had like no forum presence, whereas now I have like minimal forum presence so hey? why not Ask away. *I may or may not be the only British dev.

Character sheet go! ​

Lost against DavidPWNS, it was a fun match even though I think I lost a speed tie on Jynx Vs Sawsbuck which sucked. Still, gg. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/nu-401754439 ​
