Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.
And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.
In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

Yes, we have decided to let Coffretchi and Pianitchi go since the rest of us will be a little busy with setting up another birthday party.
Like May 9th is Coffretchi's birthday so it'd be perfect for her and her close gal pal to get the most enjoyment! We're totally fine with it!

Better than the night before, to be honest.

[2] Nice to hear your sleep went well, I slept okay though I woke up early and played a lot of Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. I managed to beat it even if the final boss drove me nuts.

So Mallow and I are here at the Lush Jungle, overseeing the island challenge trial there for any potential challengers. I'm just helping her, but so far, there doesn't seem to be any challengers right now. So we're just waiting and looking for any interesting rare creatures or plants.
Yeah, rainforests are full of still-undiscovered creatures, so you never know what you mind find in there. By the way, won't some people find it weird that you look exactly like me except pink?
I don't find it weird. I think you guys compliment each other quite well.

I'm trying to be more involved in my son's life. Friends, do you think it would be a good idea for me to sneak up behind Nico when he's having dinner and shout "I AM YOUR FATHER" whilst wearing a Darth Vader mask? For context, we don't usually have dinner together and he wouldn't expect me.
I'm no parenting expert, Lord Hades, but I think you should.

Sorry, who's Nico? I don't think you've mentioned him before, are you referring to Zagreus by any chance?

Ah, Nico di Angelo is a demigod sone of mine. He goes to Camp Half-Blood. He's not Zagreus, but thank you for asking.

I believe Nico is Hades' son. I've read the Percy Jackson novels in my world, so I'm familiar with the stories.
By the way, Mallow and I are heading out to the ocean to find some coral reefs several miles offshore, and see if we can find anything weird or interesting. Maybe we could find a new nudibranch Pokemon.
Wouldn't a nudibranch Pokemon have all those tentacle cerata on its back that sting a lot? It's quite scary.
Yeah, that's why I find them cute.

Hades, from a dad who's gone a lot, just give him an incantation or two and he'll be happy.
Your son is trapped in an egg Radagon, I don't think you should be giving out parenting advice.
And your son put him there, so who's fault is it really?

[1] Oh, I see. Well, how do you think he would take that kind of response? Do you keep in touch?

I try to keep in touch, yes. As for how he would respond, I do not know.

I don't believe I've met you two before. Who might you be?

You know, I have to be honest here, Hades... your Darth Vader-esque greeting is the kind of prank I'd pull on a friend.

I'm Radagon, the second Elden Lord. This is my wife and other half, Marika.
YOUR other half? I'm the Goddess here, not you! If anything I'm the real half!
Just because we share a body doesn't mean I'm an offshoot of your personality.
Whatever. Anyways, we're the Rulers/God/Goddess of the Lands Between.

[1] Welcome to the thread, my name's Icarus. I can do almost anything lighter than five solar masses if you ask for it, but I suspect you won't need my help anytime soon. Anyways, what are the Lands Between? Between what specifically?
Unhinged Menace
(x2)Well yeah, I'm a Goddess, I'd hope to look cool. But thanks, nice to meet you two! Don't worry about the disfigurement, hazards of ruling a kingdom..
You really think so? I always thought people told me that to make me feel better about missing half my body.
Stop being so insecure my dear. You and I are still beautiful, regardless.
(x1) That's a bit complicated.

Basically our lands are between a couple of realms. We're not sure exactly what they are.
Maybe we could have found out if you hadn't shattered the Elden Ring!
Well how else was I supposed to get out from under the thumb of that creature?

Just got back from scuba diving with Mallow at the reef. It was quite fun, and we took a lot of photos of the Pokemon there.
Agreed, though no new nudibranch Pokemon discovered, unfortunately. By the way, how was everyone's day?
Busy. I think we all have final exams coming up. I'm dreading them quite a bit.

Was busy rewatching my discrete structures lecture. Speaking of which, there's quite a bit more to the RSA algorithm than I had anticipated, and the lecture introduced me to all its mathematical details! If I can get it into a comprehensible form, I might share it here.

Name's Yanma Gast. President of N'Kosopa. Technically a king, but I hate that fancy-schmancy title. That octomush Kaguragi posts here too but he's out right now. He's doing some sort of event...thing.
The tournament finished. Just going over the footage of the show. Making sure none of those tanukis cheated. My people know better, but y'know. Gotta be fair.

The third and final round of the Interdarshan Competition has ended. The round was grabbing the Diadem of Knowledge and bringing it back to the venue. Because the competition was so close, 5 of the 6 competitors would have immediately won from this round. The winner was… Kaveh. He proceeded to reject the prize money because it came from a researcher whom he disagrees with on principle. There’s more to it than that, and it’s an admirable decision, but sometimes “admirable” doesn’t mean “not stupid”.

Hey Toons, question. Did you already settle on who would be going to the party? Also, can I come over this afternoon to make sure the exoskeletons work? I suspect fitting them to your bodies might prove to be a challenge.
