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.

Hm? The things on my head?
...OHHH. The Octoling in my picture isn't actually me, that's my partner, Acht, who owns the account! And they're asleep right now. Um, please don't steal their stuff! They're very attached to them.
Think we're ready for that next floor, Eight.

Now don't you try breaking into my home. You won't even make it through the front door without me, quite literally, barking up a storm. I may not bite, but my human family surely won't take kindly to a giant rat rummaging through their trash.
So Eight, what is Acht's favorite weapon?

Ah, mister it is, then! Could I, uh, have a name for you?
Hm... I actually haven't seen much of Acht in battle, but I thiiiink it's Charger? Like, the sniper weapon. I have no idea how they die so many times in battle, looking at their average, but maybe the other teams think they're a threat? I don't know. I'm just rambling here, haha!

Hey Eight, if you need temporary extra security measures, I can borrow some from EV. Weapons are a no-go, but I could have an alarm system installed!
Also, what's your weapon of choice, while we're at it?

Ooh, I'll take the alarm system! I don't know if you could come to Inkopolis Square to install it, but I'd really appreciate it!
Also, did not expect the Acht Q&A to become one for me. 😅 I kinda just prefer my Octo Shot, which is kinda just a modified Splattershot, which is just a gun basically. Thanks for the question, and stay safe!

Exotic Ventures has the technology to build portals between universes. Tomorrow morning I have a lecture at 10:15 AM, so I don’t have time to come over in person, but I’ll send someone from EV your way!
I’d love to elaborate on the portal tech here btw, but it’s half past midnight for me and I need sleep.

Like it's always totally worth reading it all though! Also, Marx looks a little different now!

I'm back, what did I miss

Quite a lot. We've got a few new members to the thread, including Acht's partner Eight, a Jewelpet, an extra Flamboyant bird man (I think he's from Helluva Boss, but I haven't watched that series so I'm not sure), and a giant trash-hoarding rat. Not only that, but Eight is also currently hosting a Q&A session about Acht, so if you have any questions about her, go ahead and ask.
I'm not sure how to add my pawprint to my signature on a keyboard...
Tama May Cry 5: The Toons are Approaching
That was a bird? I wasn't quite sure, he didn't look too much like an avion at first glance. aroo.
Now you mentioned it, I can see the beak shaped mouth. So, Marx also shown his true form too.
That bird sure is pretty, reminds me of how precious my brother Mametchi looks in a dress!

Hey! I’m not that big!
Tama May Cry 5: The Toons are Approaching
Yeah especially compared to the stuff we've seen, hahaha! Funny how you didn't take any particular offense to the trash hoarding comment.
But Buttercup, one persons trash is another one's treasure sometimes! You wouldn't believe the radical stuff I've found at the dump lol!
That's actually appropriate for a dog, also now I'm getting memories of that story "Gettin' Twiggy with it" where Mitch becomes Twiggy's b-ch.

hey. i'm finally awake. Eight's asleep next to me. must've fallen asleep a bit before i woke up.
what'd i miss?

Tama May Cry 5: The Toons are Approaching
There was a lot of commotion going on with Eight answering a lot of questions earlier and some new faces like a pretty bird and a feisty rat appeared.
Unfortunately, we didn't have time to participate in the action (work was in the way) but it was quite an interesting stir of comments to read today.

quite a lot happens when you dip for a few days, my own business is less interesting. I just decided that instead of speedrunning the compassion route of TS!Underswap I'll do ruthless
Tama May Cry 5: The Toons are Approaching
I honestly don't have the heart to do that route since that game has so many loveable characters imo but go right ahead if you really want to.
No doubt that route is easier to speed run though. I also remember the days when taking a break from here wouldn't cause one to miss much lol.

good to know Eight's adapting quickly. hopefully you guys are available for the next round.
ruthless runs sound painful. like emotionally.
oh yes indeed, especially the Harry and Larry fight, just generally fucked up. Anyways Crossbones is certainly being a thorn for the run. Also hello toons and Eight
Just Another Acht Fan
oh, actually, right now it's just me. Eight's asleep. she deserves it.
