Asking the real questions

The Priory of the Orange Tree is a massive fantasy epic with many connected threads and points of view. It's pretty much my favorite book ever.

Oh lovely! Minecraft is such a fun game for me as well, despite not having as much to do as the average AAA game, the very process of digging around and exploring overland is really fun, even before you get into the real "meat" of mining, fighting, and crafting.

Oh, sorry, didn't see this since I was burned out on this game for a month after all the grinding I did to get through the circus arc. My full party was:

Crobat/Klinklang as leads

Magnezone

Alolan Ninetales

Alolan Sandslash

Flygon

Thanks for the recommendation on Sandslash, he's still named after you. Ninetales is strong on her own and turns on slash like you wouldn't believe. The full plan used an air balloon on klinklang to block the initial earthquake while Crobat set Tailwind and Klinklang set Gear Shift. Field-boosted +1 Gear Grind is monstrous. A!Ninetales doesn't have SE STAB, but she does have Aurora Veil and Hail-boosted Blizzard. Hail also makes sandslash do a pretty decent Sonic the Hedgehog impression, and of course Iron Head deals great damage on this field. Flygon is here purely on the strength of her spread moves, and with the air balloon spam I could even use Earthquake a few times, which would be useful against Mawile. However, I ended up just burning Maw down with steel stab instead.

Thanks for asking!

GODDDDDD I agree with this so much. Least favorite bit is finding out you've lost something long after losing it because things you don't need immediately don't friggin exist to the adhd brain I guess

Yeah pretty much. There's like half the tempedia and 3 more islands still to go, but from what I've played it's incredibly well-made.

It hasn't released, it's still in early access. That was the alpha that just finished, not the beta. Half the game hasn't even been added yet!

Couldn't agree more. I can't think of a single bit of it that wasn't AMAZING. 

oh man....that's awesome!

oh nice!

The Final Day

Couldn't agree more. I also despise it's close cousin, "removing a source of suffering would be unfair to those who have already suffered".

Oh I know why, it's less "oh god why are these pokemon stuck here" and more "wait, wild pokemon are actually Good now, that's so weird" like it used to be you had to take a niche mon and just make it work but now I can start to train mons that'll take me even to the elite 4! I'm so very excited!

I'll definitely go try it, then Thanks!

What did you think of it?

It Crismas. Mer Crismas.

I used Alolan Muk and Marowak in my first run of Moon, where they both did fabulously. I am not going to buy sword or shield.

I've always loved what a romp it is. Yeah sure there's a lot of Dramatic Moments but at the end of the day, every saga's gonna end with some cruel idiot getting the tar beaten out of them, and that's just existentially satisfying.

Well, hello and welcome!

What's also interesting is, because KC is reactive, I wonder what exactly it counts as "harm". Like could jotaro just keep using his timestop to simply keep getting closer to Diavolo. Just constantly t-posing in his face to assert dominance

King Crimson predicts longer into the future than jotaro can stop time, so by default Diavolo wins.

Effectively, "skipped time" always starts 10 seconds before Dia actually gets hit, so even jotaro *stopping time* gets messed with.

The really interesting question is if we sub Dio for Jotaro, because Dio can stop time for longer than 10 seconds, so does King Crimson activate 10 seconds before time stops, 10 of Dio's subjective seconds to time resuming, or not at all? I'm not sure if there's a clear answer, esp. since KC is supposed to be an escalation of The World (cue timestop noise) anyway.

I'm mostly over it in Pokemon, but what's still big for me is the field seeds in reborn. You literally get one switch-in and that's IT. That's worse than even revives. I used to be like this w/ vitamins too, until I realized it's always 900 percent better to sell them than use them.

That said, I don't spend revives without a clear plan on how to win. If I have a revive but my opponent has 3 Pokemon left, I will probably just let myself lose and try again rather than risk wasting it.

happy birthday!

Aya's Nidoqueen dunked on me a few times, but the attempt where I got past her first pokemon was the attempt that I beat her. Her Toxapex is a huge achilles' heel: it just does no damage, unless it tries to use Toxic Spikes, so if left alone it's practically a 1v2 for most of the match. She got me down to one pokemon, though, so I won't pretend that it wasn't close.
