    Melee

    Thanks for asking.A part of my interest in Melee stems from a general fascination with games (typically older, from the 1995-2005 era) featuring metagames so highly developed and convoluted that they don't even resemble their source material Examples include speedruns of Ocarina of Time (featuring manipulations of code such as wrong warping, HESSing, and RBA) and the Super Mario 64 A-button challenge (featuring HOLP, spawning displacement, and more) I'm a big fan of speedruns and glitch art (both the ironic and genuine) as their unintentional and dynamic nature fascinates me There is more to the melee scene in my eyes though than an evolved state of the game. There is also a huge amount of personality and uniqueness in the way players approach their characters and the game as a whole. Unlike in speedruns where there is set, optimal way to play, Melee really is much more freeform art than science. It also is the only "sport" that has really captured my attention outside of a few matches, as I regularly tune in to twitch streams and catch up on YouTube vods even when the matches aren't very noteworthy In terms of personal investment I'd say that over the past 2 years (ever since watching the Smash Bros Documentary by Samox) I've put in about 200-250 hours of playtime in Melee and well over 800 hours of watching footage/highlights

    Melee

    I enjoy playing Super Smash Bros. Melee, for the Nintendo Gamecube at a competitive level It seems there is no preexisting thread dedicated to the game I think I saw a smash 4 one but I dedicate a total of about four hours daily attempting to forget that game exists and what was I talking about Anyway this post is mainly a query to see if there is any community interest in discussing the Melee metagame (top player scene, state of the meta, character viability) and/or creating a meetup thread for folks interested in Netplay duels I assume it'd be mainly the former because sites like Smashladder already exist as good resources for picking fights online If you're interested in getting into the game you're also welcome to message me or post here with questions on how to get resources or begin understanding the game at a competitive level Thanks for reading and respond if interested. If there are even like 4 people I'll revamp this post and make it less desperate more official as a general discussion thread
  5. 1am is nothing Although yesterday I ate an entire pizza at 12:30, which was abnormal I wasn't hungry for 18 hours after

    Two Questions

    What's the purpose of this Dull Key? and Where can I get another fire stone for this guy? I've already used the one at the bottom of Pyrous Mountain.
  10. Running Windows 10 on a gaming tower. I considered downgrading to Windows 7 to save myself the minor inconveniences and quirks of the new software, but figured it would be too much effort. Windows 7 is the best OS to-date in my eyes, at least from a gaming/work perspective. Windows 10 introduces a bunch of frilly designs and other worthless effects, but I suppose it's more or less the only option for people who use touch-screen software. It has a bit too much 8 in it. Both of my laptops have run horrifically slow their entire lives, so I've more or less given up faith in their kind.
