[sinful flare]

you install it by pasting the folder in the zip into steamapps directory/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/custom

if you wanna install any mods do it that way

[atomic sparrow]

How?

[manic abyss]

you'll see when Silksong releases in October or November

because I said so, the release date came to me in a dream

[atomic sparrow]

It's gonna release 2024 and you know it

[manic abyss]

that's a possibility...

[sinful flare]

i love this hud @kindred pewter @grand ferry

[kindred pewter]

omg this is fucking cool

[burnt topaz]

it does look cool

[manic abyss]

why does the valve guy have a valve in his head

[sinful flare]

i like how they customized the main menu, class select screen, the battle hud and etc

[burnt topaz]

because hes the valve guy

[sinful flare]

oh and i got a mod that replaces the intro video with the pinnacle of sfm animation that i dont think i can link here

[atomic sparrow]

No that's too long

[weary juniper]

I got a hud and it had the pyros name in Russian and it translated to garbage man lmao

[sinful flare]

[burnt topaz]

[sinful flare]

also im gonna let simon handle the shit since he knows a place for mvm without the residents of hell that we call the tacobot community

[burnt topaz]

Haven't managed to played mvm with any of them thank god

[sinful flare]

they most commonly appear in mann up tours ig

i wouldnt know because i never played mann up and probably never will but i found out that the two cities tour has a guaranteed killstreak kit drop

incredibly tempting but we only should with like 4 players

that way if we land with some of these dicks we can kick them lmao

[grand ferry]

by mvm I meant community mvm :/

ok I am in game

[sinful flare]

@burnt topaz tell when ready

[grand ferry]

[grand ferry]

oops

[zinc crow]

Hi chat

[sinful flare]

i just remembered that the pyro has explosive jumps

[weary juniper]

Hello

[surreal remnant]

if i refund something on steam does the money go to my steam wallet?

[grand ferry]

ok right click on my name, copy the ip address of the server, then type "connect (that ip)" in console

[sinful flare]

hello person with a nickname in foreign language that i cant understand and the person whose name starts with A and ends with an x

[surreal remnant]

with the like under 2 hours gameplay refund thing

[sinful flare]

found it

[sinful flare]

money goes to either your steam wallet or the bank account you purchased it from, depending on the payment method that was used

but most likely it can go to your bank account tho i think you can just choose

[weary juniper]

Hey kaan haha

[surreal remnant]

ooh sweet

[inland ravine]

Hey everyone

[surreal remnant]

i got ghosts of tabor but this shit too complicated

[sinful flare]

also that DEPENDS ON THE REGION LIKE either 1.5 hours (90 minutes) or 2 hours (120 minutes) so CHECK YOUR REGION'S LIMIT

[weary juniper]

Hey gwnj

[inland ravine]

hollow o knights or smth? wtf that

[grand ferry]

health on kill

[quartz yew]

Hello

I saw we finally have an ass jim emoji. Too bad I don't have nitro to use it constantly.

[hard ginkgo]

[burnt topaz]

oh my god

we do..

[quartz yew]

That actually caught me off guard

[grand ferry]

what ur acc name

[burnt topaz]

i cant join the game

misha

[hard ginkgo]

The pale king is not my president

[sinful flare]

wtf

[cerulean sable]

if theyre on a casual server you cant do that

you could try right clicking on their name then just connecting directly

[burnt topaz]

dw kaan

[sinful flare]

nah im in the game

[cerulean sable]

ok fair

[kindred pewter]

No way UK is real??!!

[quartz yew]

Anyway I can't believe I went "I ain't reading all that" when I studied. I had to go back and actually read it because I forgot I'm not in high school anymore.

[burnt topaz]

cool map you got there

[hard ginkgo]

No way. I thought that the uk was a myth

[cerulean sable]

shouldnt the triple alliance be called the central powers instead?

iirc its usually either named Allies/Triple Entente vs Central Powers

[sinful flare]

@burnt topaz try again theres like room for one more

[burnt topaz]

no i joined via the ip

[grand ferry]

join faster :/

[sinful flare]

OH YOURE IN

[quartz yew]

Anyway which manga are you guys reading these days? I'm currently begging translators to update Rhapsody in red because it's got so much potential.

[kindred pewter]

no idea our teacher just gave us this in our Fa lol

[quartz yew]

Why is Germany and Austria so fucking huge. Leave space for the rest of us.

[cerulean sable]

that manga about 2 foreigners visiting Japan and they get into hijinks like at one point they visited an abandoned school, accidentally jumped off because the door led to literally a floorless room and they died

then proceeded to shrug it of as "eh there was nothing inside that room" without realizing theyve died already

this is Austria-Hungary

[hard ginkgo]

Are you talking about r/place

[kindred pewter]

a manga of someone using their 6th sense, and then proceeded to 6th sense everywhere

[weary juniper]

Lmao

[cerulean sable]

i forgot if it was still called the Hapsburg Monarchy at that point

[quartz yew]

Mayhaps.

[kindred pewter]

why did r/place break the 4 year gap?

[cerulean sable]

because they needed to avoid the controversy about the API

thats why its so sudden

[real basalt]

sate the public

[cerulean sable]

they wanted a big thing to overshadow the controversy

[hard ginkgo]

To avoid its problems

[kindred pewter]

honestly, let reddit exist, if redditors go to other platforms, we are doomed

[quartz yew]

I think it was to drive attention away from the API changes.

But then people kept drawing fuck spez on the canvas and it keeps getting removed.

[cerulean sable]

so instead of "Reddit is killing API" they can flood it with "Reddit wholesome 100 again see please advertise on our site"

[hard ginkgo]

Every social platform sucks

[real basalt]

Inside you are two wolves
-Erase Reddit, purge the evil
-Maintain reddit to imprison it

[cerulean sable]

the french flag r/place creators added a fucking Spez Guilotine and the admins removed it

and cleaned up every "fuck spez"

[inland ravine]

Food

[quartz yew]

I SAW THAT.

I was so upset that the admins erased it those bastards.

[hard ginkgo]

Truly a 1984 moment

[real basalt]

literally 1984

[quartz yew]

What kind.

[cerulean sable]

the only anti spez sentiment that is clear is on the German flag that says Spez Is Un Hurensohn (forgive me if i spelled that wrong) which means Spez is a son of a bitch

[inland ravine]

Fried shrimps

[real basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/1984-gif-19260546

[kindred pewter]

a nice shrimple food I see

[quartz yew]

Oh no that got erased.

[real basalt]

i mean there's one where you have omori with a gun with f spez written on

[cerulean sable]

seriously?

fucking lame

[quartz yew]

Yeah

[real basalt]

and the one where it says 'never forget what was stolen from you r/savethirdpartyapps'

[kindred pewter]

reddit admins try to be likeable challenge (impossible)

[weary juniper]

It's funny because fuck spez is just written everywhere and people just keep putting it back even after it gets deleted

[quartz yew]

Yeah that's gone too.

[real basalt]

freaking dictatorship

[kindred pewter]

ralseinburg-er

[cerulean sable]

some of them iirc are deleted by the admins as youll see the pixels are edited by no names, and someone recorded watching an entire 7 by 7 grid get erased/cleaned to white pixels

[hard ginkgo]

I don’t think it’s that bad

[quartz yew]

When are these guys going to give up trying to take over the canvas. They always do this void thing and they get taken over every sinhle time.

[kindred pewter]

why is that cat there in r/place i hate it

[inland ravine]

I see stolas

[weary juniper]

Yeah I saw that haha pretty funny

[hard ginkgo]

Cat wen little salmi

[quartz yew]

Man you weren't here when they tried to draw nsfw on the canvas.

[hard ginkgo]

The boy kisser thing?

[kindred pewter]

yeah

[hard ginkgo]

Ya

[real basalt]

The cellbits things are way better

[cerulean sable]

uhhh just be careful where the subject gets lead to, ok?

[kindred pewter]

I only saw one picture

[cerulean sable]

or i will leadstorm you

[real basalt]

?

[quartz yew]

Yeah I ain't going further dw.

[cerulean sable]

i just mean this 🥴

yeah yeah nws

please subscribe to you xbox gaming channel

i subconsciously typed you instead of my

[heady iron]

guys let's draw all of the game pass trailer on place

[cerulean sable]

what the fuck is going on with me, i need to sleep

frame by frame on its own canvas

[real basalt]

animate the silksong trailer

[quartz yew]

Someone is actually animating the bad apple video on the canvas.

[burnt topaz]

they finished it

[quartz yew]

So its possible

[cerulean sable]

i think thats what Jngo was referencing 🥴

i still dont accept it cuz its probably done by a bot

most likely*

[hard ginkgo]

We have some sick ss discussions going on rn

[quartz yew]

Aw cool. Can't wait to see what the speed up version looks like.

[burnt topaz]

you can watch it rn

[cerulean sable]

new info is a bit dry right now if you havent noticed

[quartz yew]

Wait really? Hold on.

[cerulean sable]

i feel like somemthing like that is well too cordinated to be normal

and ofc ton of people has used bots

[quartz yew]

Hey its actually really cool!!! https://youtu.be/FVhj9vhGwPE

[frigid karma]

Touhou fans coordinating an entire animation as canada fails to make a leaf right next to them

[long bluff]

it's funny that canada struggles drawing a leaf while people out there animating bad apple

[quartz yew]

Actually they succeeded

[long bluff]

i tought they ended up in banana

bidoof

[frigid karma]

It just took the same amount of time as a animating bad apple

[long bluff]

i just realized osu changed

oh wait it's just flipped

[sinful flare]

@burnt topaz ok got into the correct one join

[burnt topaz]

having issues actually joining the game from steam

is your game full

[prisma meteor]

what kinda word starts with +, not even a letter

fucked up shit honestly

[quiet token]

insane

[kindred pewter]

yoo gg

every day UK speedrunners are born so cool so awsome

[turbid kite]

plusle

plushie

[sinful flare]

my sexuality is math symbols

[prisma meteor]

plusle is a pretty queer little Pokemon that's such a good point

[prisma meteor]

nerd

[strong veldt]

All in a days work for kaan

[kindred pewter]

wtf same!

[prisma meteor]

it's ridiculous that plusle and minun aren't the same Pokemon

[stark estuary]

How so

[dusty nimbus]

My sexuality is food

[prisma meteor]

they had to give them different names so they aren't the same Pokemon with different forms they are just completely different Pokemon

which I think is silly

it's like fuckin uhhh miltank and the bull one I can't remember

[stark estuary]

They’re gimmick mons

[real basalt]

'um ackshually it represents positive and negative charges' 🤓

[stark estuary]

Gen 3 is where abilities were first introduced, and theirs are Plus/Minus

[prisma meteor]

me pointing at all 1008 Pokemon:

[stark estuary]

Also their stats and movepools are different

[real basalt]

you could have done male and female forms

[quiet token]

dammit

[stark estuary]

They aren’t the same Pokémon in any meaningful capacity

[prisma meteor]

yeah but because they had to have different names they didnt do it which I think is STUPID

[prisma meteor]

literally look at a picture of them right now for me

[stark estuary]

They physically look alike yes

They’re mechanically distinct

I don’t understand how this is such a big deal

[prisma meteor]

nerdiest person ever 👎👎👎

[real basalt]

no they're the same

If the other comes into battle its a 50% spatk boost

[prisma meteor]

Pokemon are just cute little beasties their moves and shit don't matter

[real basalt]

minun's ability

[prisma meteor]

no I'm saying because the POKEMON had to have different names

[quiet token]

yooooo

[real basalt]

I'm supporting you

[grand ferry]

damn garbage pikachu clones

[prisma meteor]

gendered Pokemon forms have the same name

my favourite Pokemon is a Pikachu clone

[real basalt]

They have basically the same ability is what i'm saying, there's no point in a different mon

[stark estuary]

You should complain about Volbeat/Illumise not being the same Pokémon

[prisma meteor]

emolga my love .....

[prisma meteor]

which I ALSO THINK!!!

a person can think more than one thing

[stark estuary]

The ability isn’t the same, it doesn’t do anything unless both are present

That’s the entire gimmick

[stark estuary]

If you complained about every gimmick mon out there we’d be here for a while

[prisma meteor]

yeah yeah but I'm saying because their names are different

[prisma meteor]

they have to be different Pokemon

[real basalt]

very little difference, there is no point in the difference

[kindred pewter]

they look cute

[stark estuary]

Yes Plusle and Minum have their offenses and defenses swapped

[prisma meteor]

I have never ONCE looked at a Pokemons ability

[real basalt]

ok
and?

[stark estuary]

That’s a mechanical difference

[real basalt]

neither are even viable

[stark estuary]

Irrelevant

[prisma meteor]

I put the ones which are cute on my team and then I exclusively use their highest power move

[stark estuary]

Game Freak don’t design mons for all of them to be competitively viable

Most gimmick mons are garbage

[prisma meteor]

you need to stop being such a negative Nancy/nathan

[real basalt]

You could have just done one mon, call it like ancath or something (anode and cathode) and give it a different ability, done

[stark estuary]

Recently there have been mechanical differences between gendered mons, like Indeedee and Meowstic

But back then there was no precedent for that sort of thing

See the Nidoran line for example, which was technically two separate lines

In any case I don’t see any reason to complain about what is by all accounts just another gimmick mon

They’re mechanically distinct enough that it wouldn’t really make sense to make them the same species

[prisma meteor]

sometimes complaining is fun you don't gotta be a nerd about it

[quiet token]

heres the video

[real basalt]

Okay then:
Gimmick mons should be a lot more than what they are

[stark estuary]

Sure, but consider this was gen 3

[prisma meteor]

gimmicks are funny every Pokemon is a gimmick mon if you think about it

[stark estuary]

No, not really

[prisma meteor]

🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[sinful flare]

https://tenor.com/view/rhett-and-link-nerd-vs-geek-rap-battle-store-glasses-gif-17402325

[real basalt]

examples?

[stark estuary]

Are you seriously asking me to give examples of Pokémon that aren’t gimmick mons

[twin bough]

Its good mythical morning from good mythical morning

[real basalt]

Give me a mon that's unique and doesn't follow a template

[stark estuary]

That’s the opposite of what I said

There are plenty of unique mons, which I referred to as gimmick mons

Obviously they’re only as unique as the game will allow

It’s not like you can’t have the same basic template for every Pokémon out there

[real basalt]

What do you mean 'as the game will allow'?

[stark estuary]

Read the message below it

[real basalt]

A Gimmick Mon would just be a mon built around a specific gimmick

[manic abyss]

Im hungry

[real basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/falling-bread-bread-gif-19081960

[stark estuary]

And that’s about as unique as it gets

Every Pokémon is going to have the same basic template of typing, stats, ability, movepool, but any one of those things is highly variable and can make for a unique Pokémon

[real basalt]

What's stopping them from making them more unique?

[manic abyss]

why are the only edible things in my house sweet

[real basalt]

I cant be bothered arguing, bye

[stark estuary]

Define “more unique”

[manic abyss]

oh hey, it's "my best friend"

[quiet token]

huh

[prisma meteor]

TRUE

Pokemon is about looking at funny little beasts and going "haha what a fucked up guy he's so cool" if you mention stats even once you don't deserve these creatures

[real basalt]

Alright guess ill continue
beyond just a single dimensional gimmick

[frigid karma]

Pokemon is all about disproportionally epic music and character designs

[real basalt]

That's a good point

[real basalt]

The music carries the games

[prisma meteor]

I'm kinda a genius

[prisma meteor]

that's also true the hot people are pretty good

[stark estuary]

Stats, typing, movepool, ability
These are the things that make a mon unique, so diluting those differences as “single dimensional gimmicks” is pretty unfair

[real basalt]

the core concept of the game is catching,

[manic abyss]

Pokemon music is the best

[prisma meteor]

the core concept is to stare at the animals and go wowie you are so awesome

[stark estuary]

I don’t even like Pokémon but unfortunately my disdain for poor Internet arguments outweighs my hatred for Game Freak

[frigid karma]

The concept is look at all these monsters!!!

Buy the plushie buy the plushie buy the plushie buy the plushie

[prisma meteor]

you don't like Pokemon because you focus on the objectively lame part which is the stats and the fighting

[frigid karma]

Like pokemon is clearly about the cuteness and NOT the gameplay

[prisma meteor]

yes!! you understand!!!

[quiet token]

probably nigh impossible without ultraboosting and thats the hardest technique in 1-4

[stark estuary]

That isn’t why I dislike it but ok

[manic abyss]

https://youtu.be/GIn8_Q27WFY

[spark pine]

as a game should be naturally

[stark estuary]

If anything the battling is one of the only parts I don’t hate

[real basalt]

Well you've also got the point rosie said
Pokemon's core concept is catching
That's what Satoshi Tajiri was intending by it's creation: to preserve bug catching for the future
Plusle just equals minun from design perspective

[frigid karma]

The game is promo for the plushies

The merch takes priotity

[real basalt]

the games are cash grabs

[quiet token]

you use the explosive railcannon on a core eject to launch yourself insanely fast

[prisma meteor]

I'm not a debate pervert don't call my objectively correct statement "the point Rosie said" don't make me part of your weird argument!!!!

[kindred pewter]

it's very precise, but with a lot of practice, you can get a sub 12

[frigid karma]

Like, say what you will about the pokemon franchise but it's basically sanrio but with a game attached to it at this point

[prisma meteor]

the point they are making is that they make more money from merch than games

[real basalt]

Sorry about that
but please don't insult me

[prisma meteor]

I'm just being silly and also did not insult you other than say your argument was weird which isnt that rude

[real basalt]

i mean tbf it is a weird argument
nerdiness

Average pokemon composer:

[frigid karma]

I love how pokemon trainers have the best drip only to show up once

[prisma meteor]

ORAS has the thing where you fly around on the jet bird Pokemon thing on the world map which is awesome

[stark estuary]

You do realise that isn’t a defense

[manic abyss]

https://youtu.be/toCy2dLd3bg

[prisma meteor]

Latias and Latios or something....

[frigid karma]

I've only played like half of emerald like a year ago

[quiet token]

i dont like pokemon music that much ngl

[manic abyss]

latios and latias

[real basalt]

Ill respect your opinion

[stark estuary]

By the time RSE had released it was an established video game franchise with in depth mechanics

[prisma meteor]

yeah I was right I'm a genius

[stark estuary]

It had evolved past that initial concept which I’d argue no longer mattered

[manic abyss]

your opinion has been noted

[real basalt]

you seem to have not noticed that i've stopped debating with you
also: poor take smh
pokemon catching is the one reason i play sv

[spark pine]

I don’t think game freak are capable of coming up with new ideas outside of creature and character design

and even then the community does that better lol

[real basalt]

i agree, although sv's story was good

[frigid karma]

Pokemon devs

[manic abyss]

well, that's true... except for Terastilization

[real basalt]

Cool hats

[stark estuary]

SV’s story was copied almost verbatim from some mid 2019 film called Annihilation

[real basalt]

🤓

[stark estuary]

And I’d argue it still isn’t very good

[frigid karma]

Basically another short boost for your pokemon. They did it before with gigantamax and stuff

[manic abyss]

well, yeah, but Terastilization changed competitive battling

[frigid karma]

(I think i have not played sv)

[stark estuary]

Tera is still better than Dynamax though it’s not an interesting or well implemented generational gimmick by any means

[manic abyss]

Gigantamax Zmoves and Mega Evolutions didn't change the competitive battling aspect, they were just a small gimmick

[stark estuary]

Bruh?

Dynamax broke the competitive scene tf are you on about

[spark pine]

is that the thing where they just stick a chandelier of a pokémon’s head

[frigid karma]

The best part of sv was tinkaton and the bread dog guy

[spark pine]

on*

[real basalt]

You're not even being fair now
Pokemon SV is not a good game but i can respect the story
You just seem to hate pokemon with a burning passion

[frigid karma]

Fidough i rememeber now

[real basalt]

i caught a fidough, lasted me to the end
lick is great for catching

[manic abyss]

tbh I wasn't even in the Pokemon community until SWSH dlc so you're probably right about the dynamax thing

there is one thing tho

Legends Arceus is a genuinely good game with creative and original ideas

[real basalt]

(wait for it...)

'no legends arceus sucked not enough battles'

[manic abyss]

Volo

[stark estuary]

I don’t personally find it to be a very compelling story, perhaps you and I just happen to value different things. Doesn’t make it right to discredit my opinion as just hating the franchise with a burning passion
I will admit it’s better than most Pokémon games’ stories but that isn’t really a meaningful comparison, also the fact that it was unoriginal is kinda telling

[spark pine]

swear it didn’t sell great tho, so if anything it will have just discouraged them from trying anything new 😑

[manic abyss]

SV had the most original story the hell are you on about?

[manic abyss]

there are a bunch of Legends Kyurem leaks rn, especially from big leakers

[real basalt]

'unoriginal'
bro you're the only one here who knows what annihilation is
you think game freak just watched a random overseas film and thought 'hmm we should copy the story'
far fetched

[stark estuary]

It’s lifted almost completely from a film called Annihilation

[spark pine]

aw nice

[stark estuary]

Look it up

[frigid karma]

I liked the part in pokemon where the guy sings but since there's no voice acting it's dead silent and the lyrics just pop up in dialogue boxes

[manic abyss]

I've never heard of that film before

[real basalt]

no one has

[stark estuary]

I didn’t know what Annihilation was until after I played SV either

[manic abyss]

Game Freak wouldn't just copy from a random ass movie

[spark pine]

I like the part of pokémon where the guy with the funny crown hat did his cool spin

[stark estuary]

They’ve mentioned taking inspiration from other sources in the past

For SV I believe the big one they mentioned was Made in Abyss

[manic abyss]

there's a difference between inspiration and plagiarism

[real basalt]

you didn't read that point about random ass movie did you -_-

[frigid karma]

POKEMON IS LIKE MADE IN ABYSS WHAT IS THIS TAKE LMAOOO

[stark estuary]

I did not say that

[manic abyss]

what even is Made In The Abyss?

[stark estuary]

SV’s Area Zero was said to have been inspired by Made In Abyss

[turbid kite]

what's annihilation

[spark pine]

sounds like hollow knight

[real basalt]

an anime i believe

[manic abyss]

nobody knows

[frigid karma]

I haven't played the game but if anyone told me that the pokemon game was like made in abyss i would tell them to go sober

[stark estuary]

Also there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration

[real basalt]

it actually kind of is apparently

[marsh ibex]

hm?

[stark estuary]

I never claimed they were plagiarizing or anything

[real basalt]

what is your point...?

[manic abyss]

then why are you acting like Pokemon stole from a random ass movie?

[turbid kite]

i sure hope the basis isnt like
"haha apocalypse setting"

[manic abyss]

then WHY ARE YOU CALLING SV'S STORY UNORIGINAL

[stark estuary]

That is hyperbole but yes

[turbid kite]

which one is SV

[spark pine]

imagine if we used ss discussion to talk about hollow knight lol

[turbid kite]

god

scarlet violet. oh yeah i forgot

[marsh ibex]

The newest one

[stark estuary]

Anyway this is the Reddit post that brought my attention to this https://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/zeaat9/similarities_between_area_zero_and_annihilation/

[frigid karma]

The new one with the bugs

[turbid kite]

that's all of them

[marsh ibex]

WAIT

[frigid karma]

Ah yes reddit the most trusted source

[marsh ibex]

I WATCHED THAT MOVIE

WITH MY DAD

[turbid kite]

joker is it pokemon sv's inspiration

are they very similar

[real basalt]

ok, but there isn't an ai clone of the professor who wanted to rebel against the original professor's will
ai right human wrong

[stark estuary]

I didn’t say that it was a source

[turbid kite]

what the fuck spoilers !!

[stark estuary]

I said this is where I first became aware of the similarities

[marsh ibex]

It’s a movie where this area is covered by this weird shimmery stuff

[turbid kite]

it is literally a source

[marsh ibex]

so they enter it

[turbid kite]

you're literally sourcing it

[stark estuary]

It basically has the same thing

[marsh ibex]

and shit gets weird

animals are different as all hell

[stark estuary]

Credible source*

I prefaced it by saying this is just where I first realized this

[marsh ibex]

it’s been a while but I vaguely remember the plot

[turbid kite]

so you meant, "i didn't say it was credible"

[stark estuary]

Not that it was an official source

[frigid karma]

You cited it as where you got your info from, in other words, a source

[spark pine]

I would love to see this theoretical scenario of all the game freak writers sitting down in a board room, watching this movie and taking notes

[stark estuary]

Did you read the context of my original message

[marsh ibex]

but it is pretty similar

[stark estuary]

I said “this is where I first became aware of the films existence” not “this is an official source”

[real basalt]

what about the ai?

[marsh ibex]

companies take inspiration from other sources all the time

[stark estuary]

Exactly, I never claimed there was anything wrong with that

[marsh ibex]

There is a twist in the movie where she goes home and realized her husband was entirely made up of this shimmer stuff

inspiration isn’t one to one

[real basalt]

No you said it was unoriginal

[marsh ibex]

which it is

not a bad thing

[spark pine]

sounds like pokemon plot lines to me

[marsh ibex]

but if you’re gonna lampshade the story as being original

[marsh ibex]

When several parts of it were done elsewhere

[marsh ibex]

Two separate points mate

[real basalt]

Fair

[stark estuary]

Separate point…

[manic abyss]

POKEMON SV PLOT IS ABOUT dead parents, sick dog, bully team which actually turned out to be a good guy, legendary disaster monsters, and normal Pokemon stuff

[marsh ibex]

“It’s not original like you said, and it also isn’t that good.”

[manic abyss]

I doubt the plot is anything like Annihilation

[frigid karma]

Something, something, every story is in some way unoriginal as the author would make it similar to the media they themselves enjoy

[real basalt]

Sorry about that

[stark estuary]

It very much is

[spark pine]

swear that’s like every pokémon game lol

[stark estuary]

The Area Zero Stuff anyway

Not the rehashed shit

[marsh ibex]

read the reddit post

[real basalt]

okay so you said the whole plot was lifted from annihilation

[marsh ibex]

Then cast judgement

[twin bough]

Yuck reddit

[stark estuary]

That’s the only part of the plot worth a damn

The rest is just the same tired Pokémon bullshit

I don’t know why you’d even bring that up

[real basalt]

.........
you know what
I can't even be bothered anymore
I'm talking to a brick wall
there's just no point

[spark pine]

woof

[real basalt]

imma leave i have much better stuff to do then argue any chance of reaching a conclusion

https://tenor.com/view/hollow-knight-grimm-bye-goodbye-gif-22154764

[manic abyss]

okay so, I made a fakemon region when I was a kid, and I had a giant hole in the mifdle with crystals too, did I copy from Annihilation?

[craggy citrus]

Hello)

[marsh ibex]

Yo

[stark estuary]

It goes beyond a mere surface level similarity

[sinful flare]

welcome to the underground

[turbid kite]

noo the argument (?) ended while i away

[stark estuary]

Also the “theory” posited in that Reddit post has basically been confirmed by the existence of the second DLC now

[manic abyss]

I just feel like you're hellbent on hating Pokemon so I'm gonna stop talking to you too

[stark estuary]

And there are things that they didn’t mention, like the uncanny resemblance between Glimmora and the alien in the film

[pallid jolt]

gilmorra is in iron lung movie

[marsh ibex]

you’re being kinda unfair I think

[stark estuary]

There’s no merit to having a discussion if you’re just gonna misconstrue the other person’s points

[manic abyss]

...how?

[spark pine]

an argument about pokémon genuinely having full on impacts on people 💀

[marsh ibex]

okay so, I made a fakemon region when I was a kid, and I had a giant hole in the mifdle with crystals too, did I copy from Annihilation?

[turbid kite]

are there other pieces of very different media we can compare for FUN

[marsh ibex]

that’s not really the full breadth of it all

[stark estuary]

It doesn’t matter if I hate Pokémon or not, my personal feelings aren’t what we’re discussing here

[real basalt]

Welcome to the internet

[marsh ibex]

if you strawman it of course it’ll sound silly

speaking of silly similarities

[turbid kite]

the classic "Thor is just Cars 1"

[frigid karma]

I love arguing with strangers on the internet

[spark pine]

it genuinely is tho

[frigid karma]

Oh my god you're right

[spark pine]

Like when lightning pushed that green car off the rainbow bridge into a black hole

[frigid karma]

Thor is just cars, down to the mediocre af sequels

[marsh ibex]

what’s thor

[frigid karma]

(I think i have mot seen cars in a while lmao)

[turbid kite]

tbf, "big town person moves to small town and figures out their life" is common

including the "finding a cute local from the small town and developing a vague romantic interest"

[manic abyss]

alright so I read the reddit post

[frigid karma]

But consider that thor is just cars 1 is funny so it's true

[marsh ibex]

did lightning mcqueen start a war with the other cars before getting his powers stripped from him by his dad

[turbid kite]

yeah

[marsh ibex]

Epic

[turbid kite]

bro you didn't watch cars?

that's fucked up

[marsh ibex]

it’s been years

[manic abyss]

I haven't watched Toy Story

any Toy Story

[frigid karma]

He had that petty rivalry with chick hicks and the king which are narratively the same thing

[manic abyss]

maybe I watched the first or third one when I was a toddler but other than that idk

[frigid karma]

Bro didn't have cable as a child

[turbid kite]

did thor have a mater-esque character/quirky friend

[spark pine]

you watched the third thor when u were a toddler

[manic abyss]

when did the third come out?

[frigid karma]

I cant even remember the third one

[spark pine]

like 2019 or something lol

[manic abyss]

I'm talking about Toy Story

[flat remnant]

Hello and goodbye chat

[spark pine]

ah ok

[strong veldt]

Bro Is 4 yrs old

[frigid karma]

Hi cat
Bye cat

[manic abyss]

I had cable

[frigid karma]

Did you not watch disney? Toy story was always being played there

[manic abyss]

I watched DBZ, Ben 10, Adventure Time, a ton of shows

nah I grew up on Cartoon Network

one of the reasons I only watched Gravity Falls now

[spark pine]

I wish stanford was in gravity falls more

[manic abyss]

Finally after all these years, Bill Cipher has a gun!

[real basalt]

I wish someone would post the bill cipher nkg meme it's just become relevant

[surreal remnant]

oppenheimer time, i’m seeing it in imax

[turbid kite]

heard it's really loud

good luck

[manic abyss]

Spuderverse didn't play in my town I have to wait till August to watch it

: (

[frigid karma]

Barbie?

[manic abyss]

yo Barbenheimer

[surreal remnant]

a small price to pay for salvation cillian murphy

[flat remnant]

Why watch barbenheimer when you can go to six flags (i am coping)

[formal iris]

Wait. Ari Gibson is a real person?

[surreal remnant]

yes

[formal iris]

I thought he was made up in all our imaginations

[surreal remnant]

sadly no

[charred pulsar]

Enjoy! Im watching it this weekend (and Barbie)

[surreal remnant]

Thanks simo!

[real basalt]

Im going to watch oppenheimer soon, have fun!

Write your will before the explosion

[frigid karma]

As real as silksong

[surreal remnant]

i don’t have much to put in a will

[flat remnant]

I can't watch barbenheimer at least in cinemas

[surreal remnant]

i think this is my first imax movie

[twin bough]

Enjoy

[surreal remnant]

Thanks alfie

[runic badge]

it’s barbin time

[frigid karma]

I am in the process of convincing my dad to see barbie

[surreal remnant]

kidnap him, then brainwash him into it

[frigid karma]

He's dead set on oppenheimer so it will be so funny if i get him to watch barbie as well

[tulip edge]

Tell him you're watching Oppenheimer and instead put on barbie

[frigid karma]

He was interested barbie when i told him about the ryan gosling interviews and kenergy stuff

[flat remnant]

Your dad is a ken-pilled ken chad

[potent marten]

come on barbie let's go party

[magic narwhal]

Why is this AC/Doom all over again

[frigid karma]

Like, he's one of the guys who complains a lot about wokeness in media his ass is not surviving barbie

[surreal remnant]

make him go watch it anyways

[frigid karma]

Hence why i need to trick him into seeing it

[quiet token]

[flat remnant]

My dad is similar but barbie is a weird case

Personally i really want to see it and he's not entirely against picking it up once it hits streaming but he really doesn't like it

[twin bough]

His loss then

[violet path]

Ive heard really good things abt it

[frigid karma]

Honestly my dad buys hello kitty merch specifically because he thinks its embarassing so no one touches it i think i have a chance to get him to watch barbie

[twin bough]

I have heard really good things about both

[frigid karma]

His logic: no one wants the hello kitty mug, so no one will steal my mug if it has hello kitty on it

[violet path]

Ive heard that ryan gosling carries barbie and its plot is pretty ok

[twin bough]

I have heard very otherwise

[surreal remnant]

cillian murphy is why i’m seeing oppenheimer

[twin bough]

I have heard that barbie is good all around

[twin bough]

Fair

I wanna watch it for the silksong teaser at the end

[young saffron]

drg hazard 3 missions are so scary esp as a scout 😭

[surreal remnant]

they ain’t that bad

[sinful flare]

just get pheromone canister and ez win

[frigid karma]

Which is why you play gunner/cryo cannon driller

[young saffron]

need to grind more assignments and unlocks more weapons

[young saffron]

I dont like being slow

[sinful flare]

cryo cannon is better for higher hazards imma be honest rq
more things to drill through so more hp you can get

[frigid karma]

The driller gets hp for drilling though things?

[sinful flare]

with vampire perk

[frigid karma]

Neat, I'll see if i can get it next time i play

[coarse leaf]

chat do you like

[frigid karma]

If you ask me is mid af

[sinful flare]

wtf

[twin bough]

Controversial take

[violet path]

Hes got a point

[atomic sparrow]

nuh uh...

[violet path]

Face it, Doesn’t get enough utility to justify its high price

[frigid karma]

Yeah, is waaaay overpriced when is right there

[violet path]

I agree

People need to wake up

[reef scarab]

Are we talking about Barbenheimer

[olive bobcat]

@flat remnant
That's why Kinta's the goat 🔥🔥🔥

[flat remnant]

kinta?

[olive bobcat]

Dandadan

Or is it Sof who's into it

I forget

[flat remnant]

@vale temple
That's why Kinta's the goat 🔥🔥🔥

[olive bobcat]

So true

[olive bobcat]

It's not silly!!!

[wooden quest]

I definitely didnt wake up in a cold sweat last night because i had a dream that i was 10 minutes too late to play a silksong demo at comic con

[wary imp]

I am at freshman orientation it is so loud

What's going on chat

[uneven vault]

[vale temple]

@olive bobcat delivered

[quiet token]

😭

[olive bobcat]

That's why he's the goat

[vale temple]

how do you forget this

[olive bobcat]

I don't pay attention to the people here

[vale temple]

we talked about it several times

[olive bobcat]

I forgor

[grand ferry]

[vale temple]

[olive bobcat]

Garten of Dandan

[odd cairn]

hi chat

[vale temple]

https://youtu.be/3Jm7Q8RsR_Y?si=bX1dJmc34Zju1Rob watch this greatness too aluo and palencia

[olive bobcat]

Oh that's where that character's from

I saw the magical girl transformation scene cause it was really cool

Why's it 60FPS

[vale temple]

its just the first result that showed up
do you want HD

[olive bobcat]

I found a normal one dw

Sof did you ever watch Mob

[quiet token]

just thought about how coalescence and con lentitud poderosa for risk of rain, and glory and altars of apostasy for ultrakill are kinda similar in a weird way

[flat remnant]

See ya Cat

[odd cairn]

[vale temple]

i watched it while being uninterested so uhh not for a while tbh

[olive bobcat]

Aight imma send a season 2 fight

[vale temple]

@uncut citrus

[uncut citrus]

I saw this gif

[quiet token]

probably cause they're themes before finales

[vale temple]

ahere

[uncut citrus]

ahere

[olive bobcat]

For a bit on context on the powers:
Shimazaki (the guy wearing black) is blind, and has the power to predict peoples moves and teleport

Teru just generally does whatever

[magic narwhal]

Baaaaasssseeed

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/ZuL1x8qu1B8

[uncut citrus]

I think this Erie gif is better

[magic narwhal]

If you want really good fights I’d recommend Vinland Saga

At least S1

[olive bobcat]

Never watching it

[magic narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-vinland-saga-thorfinn-thorkell-gif-15044388

[kindred pewter]

you SHOULD watch Vinland Saga NOW

[magic narwhal]

Only in this anime will you see a dude become a living ballistae

[olive bobcat]

Sof keeps telling me to watch it so now I'm rather uninterested

[grand ferry]

based

[kindred pewter]

what do you think about season 2? I think it's better than season 1 story wise

[magic narwhal]

Story wise it’s pretty good

Ainar needed more character tho

[pallid jolt]

is it about finnish people

they look finnish

[magic narwhal]

It’s about the Danish invasion of England

[vale temple]

you didn't even give it a try

[kindred pewter]

it's about vikings

[olive bobcat]

And now I don't want to

[gilded adder]

That's because the anime butchered his character

The manga version of Farmland is a lot better

[olive bobcat]

Thinking about that scene of Josuke and Okuyasu beating up the pillar of Superfly

[kindred pewter]

yeah true,

[vale temple]

how so

[magic narwhal]

Anime Ainar just likes farming and simps for this one girl and that’s his character pretty much

[kindred pewter]

mhm yes

[vale temple]

[gilded adder]

Expanded dialogue, scenes, stuff that wasn't in the anime, and also stuff that the anime introduces that serve as detriment for his character

[shell yacht]

thats the 1705 grindset

[kindred pewter]

the only thing I prefer season 1 over season 2 is the animation, and thats all

[vale temple]

[strong veldt]

Did u read the manga?

[magic narwhal]

I prefer the pacing of S1 a bit

[olive bobcat]

I still wish we got more stand fights like this
https://youtu.be/vdL3ZiLL6ws

[magic narwhal]

Only some, I may start reading more

[vale temple]

i do not agree with your takes so im taking my leave 🏃‍♂️

[uncut citrus]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/956330952886485023/1132017071912394752/caption.gif

[gilded adder]

I think Farmland is the best content in Vinland Saga and comfortably better than Prologue but Prologue is still really great

[magic narwhal]

At the very least the climax of S2 is the same

Prologue imo is carried by the slightly better character roster

[odd cairn]

Can we get a BDSP anime pls

[magic narwhal]

So just

[grand ferry]

showcasing chibii characters clipping into walls!

[odd cairn]

It's like DP but better

[magic narwhal]

The Plat anime?

[odd cairn]

Told well this time 🙄

[magic narwhal]

Bad takes stay bad

[marsh ibex]

hey palencia

heads or tails

[odd cairn]

Tails

[civic timber]

Head

[odd cairn]

Shut up he asked me

[marsh ibex]

you lost

[vale temple]

which anime do you mean exactly though
the good animated or the usual series

[odd cairn]

:(

[violet dune]

heads

[civic timber]

Chill

[odd cairn]

BDSP will turn the usual anime good

[magic narwhal]

Actually is that Legends anime out yet?

[odd cairn]

I am chill

[hollow terrace]

Chat I may have gotten some pax west tickets

[marsh ibex]

good for ykh

[magic narwhal]

Nice

[civic timber]

Cool

[vale temple]

no they just made some knockoff eps with ash

[grand ferry]

go play new emerald hack

[violet dune]

League of legends

[vale temple]

i dont play pokemon

[grand ferry]

right what a childish game ugh who even nuzlockes that shit

[vale temple]

[magic narwhal]

No like there was gonna be a series in Hisui

Probably just a set of specials

[vale temple]

huh idk

[olive bobcat]

https://youtu.be/Mds1-c2MGkI

[unkempt agate]

Holy shit, is the fact that team cherry took a breath a hint?

[vale temple]

[magic narwhal]

Jk, but funny timing

[covert tulip]

Absolutely. The number of milliseconds their breath lasted is the number of hours until it releases

[unkempt agate]

Release date hidden in the particles

[grand ferry]

what the fuck how have I not seen this before

[marsh ibex]

[olive bobcat]

You haven't seen Evolutions?

[magic narwhal]

Bruh

[olive bobcat]

Did you see Generations

[grand ferry]

pretty sure I have, it was episodes of each gen, there was one with the camera crew and MRay

[shell yacht]

Evolutions a great movie

[unkempt agate]

But seriously, I'm running out of challenging things to entertain me

[olive bobcat]

That's Generations

[grand ferry]

wait I might be confusing some things

[violet path]

Sucks

[magic narwhal]

Look harder then

[olive bobcat]

Gen had like 13 episodes or smth and ran up to gen 6, Evolutions is one episode per gen

[violet path]

The show is amazing thi

[vale temple]

omw to list all specials to simon

[magic narwhal]

Is evolutions the one with that awesome Cyrus ep?

[unkempt agate]

I got getting over it, I beat a grandmaster Celeste map, I even beat the pale court

[olive bobcat]

Generations has the awesome Cyrus episode

[magic narwhal]

Pog

[violet dune]

didn't ask

[olive bobcat]

Imma link the fight scene from the gen 7 episode

[violet path]

Any episode with cyrus is awesome because hes the best evil team leader

[olive bobcat]

Cause I think it's cool
https://youtu.be/n-qLMis6ids?t=314

[vale temple]

@grand ferry evolutions, generations, twilight wings, hisuian snow, some girl with nidoran episode

[sonic hamlet]

Ok

[vale temple]

what else am i missing palencia

[odd cairn]

Idk, I don't watch the Pokemon anime that much

[pallid jolt]

burger

[violet path]

Sof that pfp is strangely unjoktiky

[pallid jolt]

king

[magic narwhal]

Ghetsis worked but Cyrus honestly after Platinum was just dark af

[vale temple]

@flat remnant

[unkempt agate]

My greatest fear for silksong is that it won't be hard enough for me

[violet path]

Cyrus was only good in platinum wym

[unkempt agate]

Like I want to suffer

[magic narwhal]

Like man’s just flat out admitted he wanted everything to die

[vale temple]

same

[violet dune]

@flat remnant i feel like pinging you

[violet path]

The xy conundrum

[grand ferry]

I know the first two but what is the rest

[vale temple]

twilight wings is about swsh, hisuian snow about legends arceus, and the other just a short episode which is good

[olive bobcat]

Cyrus is automatically better in Plat because the Distortion World is kinda what he wants

[violet path]

Sorta

Not really

[unkempt agate]

I want to go into silksong and die a million times to all the bosses, struggle as I learn their moves, and eventually overcoming the obstacles

[olive bobcat]

Or at least more related to it than Dialga and Palkia, if that makes sense

[vale temple]

omg have you seen the new pv animation aluo

[magic narwhal]

Platinum just gives him like an actual end goal which he later reflects on and better motivations

[olive bobcat]

PV?

[unkempt agate]

Poop voop

[vale temple]

@grand ferry @olive bobcat https://youtu.be/-3p5O0GaJZI?si=EHNVJisCDHu4Tmjf

[magic narwhal]

Also Giratina lore is probably the most interesting legendary lore in the series

[grand ferry]

is it starting soon

[violet path]

He reflects on it?

[olive bobcat]

Never seen that

[magic narwhal]

Aside from maybe the first dragon

[vale temple]

idk its just a promotional vid

[magic narwhal]

Yup, while inside Distortion World he has dialogue reflecting on his desires

[unkempt agate]

I'm going to bed, perhaps I'll dream of silksong

[grand ferry]

the meta is so chaotic this WC is gonna be interesting

[olive bobcat]

Neat vid

[odd cairn]

https://youtu.be/1V4DQa5HaR0

Why is that my name

[magic narwhal]

Like the whole reason he stays behind is because Distortion World is exactly what he wanted

In a way Cyrus is the only villain to actually “win”

[grand ferry]

lmao hilda breaks a sweat when zekrom appears

[olive bobcat]

USUM villains walking in:

[vale temple]

oh yeah there's acacia animation vid too @grand ferry

[magic narwhal]

I like to forget RR exists they ruin so much of the lore

[vale temple]

https://youtu.be/BoZ0Zwab6Oc?si=f4jwQfMADE9k5FpE

[olive bobcat]

Yeah that's fair

[magic narwhal]

USUM in general is retcons the game

[olive bobcat]

We got this banger song from it tho
https://youtu.be/IBTqAsYC7NI

[violet path]

He just seems pissed

Not very remorseful

[magic narwhal]

Not battle dialogue

[grand ferry]

kill your only encounter here

it'd be so based

[magic narwhal]

After

[violet path]

Post game?

[magic narwhal]

No you’re missing the post Gira scene

He also muses on it before the actual fight a little

But after he realizes the Distortion World exists independently of Gira his outlook changes a little

[magic narwhal]

I’m still mad they retconned Lusamine’s climax

[odd cairn]

Ultra Recon Squad was worth it 🙏

[grand ferry]

gen 6 had some bangers like VS Xerneas/Yveltal and Diantha

[magic narwhal]

Not really, felt like a cheap imitation of distortion world with a clunky portal gimmick

(Which we also have a better version of in ORAS)

[odd cairn]

Where are the Distortion World's cool alien people

[magic narwhal]

Nowhere that ruins the point

[odd cairn]

Ultra Megalopolis is cool, they just didn't do anything with it

[grand ferry]

eaten

[odd cairn]

😱

[grand ferry]

we had stairs!!!

[magic narwhal]

It’s a neat concept it’s just never built up to and barely exists in game

[violet path]

Very remorseful

[grand ferry]

walking up stairs is absolute riveting gameplay

[odd cairn]

The concept art for it is so cool too

Let me pull up a comparison

[magic narwhal]

Like Ultra Necrozma is neat

But build him up like Gira and Kyurem c’mon

[odd cairn]

The concept art

The gameplay

[violet path]

Ya its pokemons

[odd cairn]

Well yeah but like, the potential of a big city in space

It's so cool

[violet path]

Ya

[shell yacht]

its the last city

post apocalyptic shit

[odd cairn]

Even cooler

[shell yacht]

that one time pokemon copied destiny

[grand ferry]

omg its deck-ker-doo-it

[shell yacht]

Last city holdout of humanity, god of light sleeping away, basically dead, then this black pyramid headass thing shows up

[magic narwhal]

USUM had a problem with trying to be too big

There’s too much going on

[shell yacht]

ironic

its in hawaii

[magic narwhal]

So nothing is fleshed out enough

And unfortunately some stuff from SM had to be written out to make room for new stuff

So even stuff that was fleshed out isn’t anymore

It just ends up being pretty meh

[olive bobcat]

[magic narwhal]

People give Gen 6 shit for being boring but at least Mega lore was a fully developed plotline

(Although the war really needed more buildup and connections to the present)

[violet path]

Why is some of it blacked out

[grand ferry]

mega had lore?

[olive bobcat]

You missed the joke

[violet path]

I didnt read the other text

[magic narwhal]

Yeah the third gym city is most of it

[uneven vault]

my main issue is there’s no post game content

[magic narwhal]

True

[uneven vault]

you have what mewtwo?

one of the bird trip

[magic narwhal]

Battle Maison

[violet path]

Gen 3 had more lore than gen 6

[magic narwhal]

Not saying Gen 6 had a lot, just that it felt more complete than 7

[uneven vault]

battling is not the only thing i want to do

all the extra stuff is what i liked

[magic narwhal]

Battle Tower with the OGs

Or wait no is that 7

[uneven vault]

battle tree is gen 7

[magic narwhal]

Honestly can’t remember it was either 6 or 7

[uneven vault]

battle tower was removed from ora’s remake

[violet path]

Ya why did oras not have the battle frontier

[magic narwhal]

Yeeeeeaaaahhh

Because funny meme I guess

There’s Zygarde cave

Honestly my favourite post game is in Gen 5

Where you round up the 7 Sages to formally arrest them

[shell yacht]

gen 6 was ass except for Zinnia

[magic narwhal]

ORAS was aight

[olive bobcat]

My favorite post-game is Black Tower tbh

[magic narwhal]

Okay Tower and Hollow were pretty neat

The free shiny surprised me

[olive bobcat]

I think it's a cool mechanic, the rng rooms with the clues and whatnot

[magic narwhal]

Gen 5 had a lot of free shinies ngl

You also had the Haxorous

[violet path]

Oras are pretty great

They do a MUCH better job at remaking an old game in a new era than.. other remakes

[olive bobcat]

Oh yeah, one detail is think is really cool about Unova is Caitlin's history

She was a Frontier Brain or smth in Plat and HGSS, and in gen 5 she's an E4 member

[magic narwhal]

As much as people shat on Let’s Go honestly that wasn’t awful

[silver oak]

Ok aluo I must admit establishing yourself as the guy who posts misinformation to the silksong subreddit only to post a real screenshot is pretty funny

[olive bobcat]

Necro

That's the greatest trick of all... that one's also fake

[grand ferry]

this was sick af

[olive bobcat]

But it's a subtle change

[magic narwhal]

Especially in the art design department, I dunno what it is about the newer games but they look so washed out in comparison

[silver oak]

Oh actually you’re right lol

[olive bobcat]

Let me get my favorite comment

[silver oak]

But like, the edit is really small so it basically counts

[olive bobcat]

I like this comment because it only points out half of the edit

[violet path]

Lets go was fun

I like that they still use hms without acually forcing you to have hms

[magic narwhal]

I hate how safe SWSH feels

[olive bobcat]

The music hits tho

[magic narwhal]

Like it just kinda gets boring

[silver oak]

Oh I forgot it was dandadan Monday

[olive bobcat]

Shield was such a pain to try and replay

[magic narwhal]

They took the easiest plot they could make and made it the main one for reasons

[frigid basin]

go play B2W2, or the romhacks of it

[magic narwhal]

Already did

[silver oak]

Can’t read right now sadly

[frigid basin]

the romhacks of that game are EVIL

[violet path]

Gen 5 is fun but its no gen 9

[odd cairn]

It's no BDSP

[magic narwhal]

Gen 9 is also kinda boring I hate to say?

[olive bobcat]

When Rose interrupted the final battle against Leon I was too tired of playing to finish the replay

[frigid basin]

sad that a 3rd party company did a better remake than GF

[magic narwhal]

And it’s mostly because of that split story

[odd cairn]

Literally so true

[violet path]

Gen 9 is terrible lol

[frigid basin]

best gen is BW

[violet path]

The only redeeming part is that tera is really cool in competative

[frigid basin]

nothing will top that unless GF does good shit again

[magic narwhal]

It’s better than SWSH but it’s still a bit of a drag until the climax

[grand ferry]

TRUE

[violet path]

It is NOT better than swsh homie

[frigid basin]

Is this BBVW

[violet path]

Just like how cyrus did NOT rethink his actions

[grand ferry]

redux

[magic narwhal]

It is, I actually felt an emotion lol

[frigid basin]

dear god that's worse

[uncut citrus]

Rare Serra ss-disc moment

[magic narwhal]

Never said he rethought his actions huh?

[olive bobcat]

SwSh are at similar levels of quality in my eyes

[frigid basin]

longest Pokemon games are probably HGSS

[magic narwhal]

I just said he reflects on them while in the distortion world and realizes it’s what he was after the whole time

[violet path]

Am i tripping

[magic narwhal]

Yeah reflecting

Not rethinking lol

[violet path]

He still has the same goal at the end tho

[magic narwhal]

Yeah you can reflect without changing your mind lol

[violet path]

He doesnt really reflect he just gets pissed

At you the player and cynthia

[magic narwhal]

It just changed his desire to leave because he got what he wanted

[grand ferry]

my mvp for this battle was a minun lmao

[magic narwhal]

Watch me looking up all of Cyrus’s Platinum dialogue to find this quote lol

[violet path]

He didnt get what he wanted and he promised to keep trying to destroy the world and remove spirit, which is what he said he would do at the galactic base

[magic narwhal]

I may be confusing dialogue from his generations episode in the distortion world then

[olive bobcat]

Probably, in Generations he's satisfied with the Distortion World

[magic narwhal]

(I can’t pull up the full quote record because stupid firewalls)

Honestly the only people in Rainbow Rocket with motivation to be there really are Geovanni and Ghetsis

[olive bobcat]

Giovanni and Dennis*
