How long have you been gaming? Are you incapable of trial and error? Press a button, see what it does. Play against computer, find training mode to just have a stage and a motionless enemy. It's not something that magically happens, you have to figure it the fuck out.

Aside from that, I'm sure it would be very simple to find a button mapping.

I mean, that image is slightly deceptive in that you have four different B moves depending on what direction you're pressing on the stick; similarly, you have five different air A moves and eight different ground A moves.
But yeah, the thing that draws a lot of people to Smash is you can do the cool special attacks pretty easily. Like, when I first played Smash, literally all I did was play Samus vs level 1 jigglypuffs and use nothing but Screw Attack and items. That was like, 15 years ago, and I had barely played any video games, and I could still do all these cool special moves. In contrast, I tried getting into Mahvel 2 a couple years ago, and after several hours of practice I still couldn't do the Shoryuken motion.

The shoryuken motion is so stupidly easier to do on keyboard, it's weird. My main issue is the timing and execution because in terms of accuracy of input I feel much better with a keyboard (although I'm obviously slower).
Then you have KoF's fucking crual half-circle-backward forward for a special, then quarter-circle-backward half-circle-forward for a super.

;_;

Can't hit that without using a special instead. When I get something. And then you've got Leona and her charged moves. Don't get me wrong, they're cool, but damn how do you as a newbie ever manage these without telegraphing them.

"How am I supposed to collect the mushrooms if there are so many enemies?"

Scip is clearly not tryhard enough for MMOs

In Ragnarok Online, the quest to get the thief job was to go get a mushroom in a monser-infested area. It was all about rushing to teleport points (most monsters won't follow you, even in those that only move you across the same map without loading), and using the "novice"-only skill "play dead" to avoid aggro until they dawdled elsewhere.
Cant take LMS hipsters serious.

I enjoy my job, but don't care all too much about the industry. If I could have this exact job, just in a gaming or more tech affiliated company, I'd be pretty content.

My job doesn't make me happy per se, but I am Happy that I have one right now. I just medicate heavily with liquor or video games. Is there a particular reason you want to leave, or do you just feel like you can't get any further at your job?

Nah I just started 7 months ago, it just takes too much time (9am30-7pm at least) and I don't really like working in IT in the end (at least "hardcore" IT like IT consulting is).

I guess I'll just leave and start developing a game. Fuck this.

When I have a job, I have a great time working with birds. Unfortunately the pay is pretty crappy, the competition is fierce, and the opportunities are few (stupid sequester). If I wanted to rake in the cash I'd have to work for the soulless oil companies. I'm hoping to take a different tack though and that grad school will at least allow me to be paid something I can live on (I should be able to get enough fellowships/assistantships that it will be free).

To work with birds though you have to really like them. Get up at 4 am in the morning, work long hours, and with every bird job there's usually some repetitive and tedious vegetation work, so you have to like birds enough to not care about that.

if they're making you work that much, they better pay you with good money. if not, it's probably not worth it.

More important than finding something you want to do, is finding somewhere you want to be. There are very few jobs in this world that are fulfilling by themselves every single day - they will drag, you'll have days that you don't want to go in, and sometimes even the things you love will bury you under pressure until you can't handle it anymore.

But, if you work somewhere you like with people you enjoy working with, the advantage is twofold. First, you'll never hate coming in. Even if you can't stand the work, if you can be around people who you can talk to or especially complain to, it takes a huge load off your chest. Second, if you are invested in the company and people therein, you will be motivated to work hard and not let them down. When you work someplace you hate, there's no incentive to do more than the bare minimum, but once you realize that your work affects the people you like, you'll make sure you don't fuck up.

Anyway, that's just what I feel. I'd rather work somewhere for less money but feel better about the company than make more at a corporate drone job where I hate every second.

Once you get make more than the money you need (taking into account saving/retirement, lifestyle, necessary payments, etc), the rest is just... money. I'd rather enjoy the 45+ hours I spend a week and only live comfortably, than hate myself most of my weekdays but have oodles of nice stuff that I don't need.

Of course, getting both is the dream, but that's not the point
It's your boy Guzma!

^.^ ty - writing it was a nice distraction, and it helps me get my thoughts around where things are and where I might want them to go.

Maybe I'll ramp up the schedule then. Part 2 was originally intended to be about all the people of Iris. Then it got huge so I thought "how about just Elves and Tieflings." Then THAT and the Anima description was too long, so I actually have a lot of Part 3 written already.
