It seems there was an interview with those Man of Action guys who are making that new Mega Man cartoon

I dunno, between saying all the Robot Masters that aren't Mega Man are "cynical jerks", to misnaming Air Man and Spark Man as "Fan Man" and "Shock Man", things aren't looking good (especially to people like me who love all 212 Robot Masters)

though they'll have more female robot masters, so that's good?

[Rui]

There's 212 RMs???

[Geno]

There's
124 Robot Masters in the CAPCOM produced games
31 unique Robot Masters in the licensed games
10 from Ariga's mangas
4 from other mangas
12 from the Brazillian comic
5 from the Dreamwave comic
2 from Captain N
1 from Ruby Spears
1 from the OVA
21 from the Archie comic
and also Bond Man
which equals 212
Mega Mini could be a 213th robot master..... but the new cartoon is an alternate universe so I'm not sure if its new characters would count
(Additionally, if one were to count the 100 Robot Masters that Terra smashes in Mega Man Gigamix, there would actually be 313 of them!)
(And I could have counted Comedy Chimp Man from the Archie comic, but he only exists inside Comedy Chimp's imagination)

Once I'm done a little project of mine, I'll have them all in a nice, Stage Select-esque image

[Rui]

Oh, that's a lot. Best of luck!!! Can't wait to see this project when you're done so I can see how the remaining ones look. :Y

They didn't misname them, they specifically said they were going to update some older names that don't quite make sense to them.
While I'm not sure how I feel about that, I'll just have to see how the show turns out.

Except Air Man and Spark Man are already self-explanatory. Spark Man's a Spark Plug, for Light's sake! Though I could understand them changing Fire Man's name, like they did to his NetNavi counterpart in the dub of the Battle Network anime.

I asked this question to some folks on Skype and figured I'd ask the rest of Cutstuff this.
How do you deal with stress? I asked at first because I was on a massive tilt streak from League and the CTF compo, but realized that just lashing out with strikes to the wall wasn't getting me anywhere. So far, these seem to be the general responses I've received:

Listening to music
ASMR
Walking outside
Exercise
Eating good food
Watching stand-up comedians
Watching relaxing streams

Today I was feeling bitter from a massive losing streak in CTF so I decided to exercise while listening to Noname's "telefone" mixtape. I honestly feel a lot better now, so I'd probably recommend that, but I wanna know what other people do when they get down and feel like the world is against them.

[Geno]

Hmm, I tend to deal with stress (or negative emotions in general) by doing things I enjoy
Playing the video games, watching videos, listening to music, going for walks in forests and natural areas, and doing some spriting
even talking to people i know online or visiting IRL friends makes me feel better (despite my introverted personality, i do enjoy being with people i care about)

For some reason, Gyro Man's theme from MM5 is really good at relieving stress in me. I dunno why. I get a particular feeling when I listen to that tune that... most other musics don't give me

I deal with stress mainly with exercise, going out jogging and sweating my life away works best for me. Drumming also helps me release many tensions and emotions, negative or positive.
And when I'm on tilt from a losing streak (applies to most things), I just take a break, maybe 2 hours away or one day away if it gets too bad. It's important to not be stubborn and know when to stop and continue again when you've got a good flow back.

[MusashiAA]

That question just made me realize something: I really can't exactly pinpoint what I do to deal with stress, I haven't put any thought into it despite suffering from anxiety. I guess I just try to drop whatever that is stressing me and focus on things that I like if possible, to make me forget about stressing thoughts. I don't really see it as a matter of "do x to reduce stress from y", but more as "focus your mind on x to momentarily forget about y". Checking social media, trying to make/listening to music, watching LPs or streams, maybe playing videogames, talking to people about other stuff...

I don't know, I usually don't feel stressed out cuz I don't do a damn thing to begin with, or I try to take problematic situations at face value when possible. It's all a matter of how important you let things to be in your mind. Sometimes it can't be helped, and I have no way of dealing with anxiety and I just turn into this mess of frustration and anger.

EDIT: Yeah, I guess I also see it the way Red sees it, too. Sometimes it's better to drop whatever that's causing you to feel awful and just take a moment to distract your mind and realize it's not a big deal. It's smart to know when to stop for your own sake, sometimes things aren't as important or urgent as we believe them to be in the moment.

[Gumballtoid]

My job has me outside a lot so I find it's a good outlet where I can be left to my own thoughts for hours.

It is also really good exercise.

[Kapus]

Depends on what I'm stressed about. Usually I just focus on dealing with whatever's making me anxious asap so I can stop stressing over it. If it's something abstract or just something I can't deal with, though, I'll listen to music or doodle cute stuff in mspaint. Usually both at once.

If I need to vent, often times I'll go play duel (usually under alias so nobody bothers me) and just release my frustrations there.

I also second this.
