No questions asked

[chrome knot]

ITS ABT TWO PEOPLE DATING PURELY TO GET CLOSER TO SOMEONE THEYRE ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN

[lofty tartan]

That's creepy

[real prairie]

Back to Shiny Chien-Pao

[lofty tartan]

https://tenor.com/view/peace-out-gif-3584473422170938815

[left bobcat]

One of you guys are dating

[spiral ridge]

No

[left bobcat]

[chrome knot]

its not bad i have worded it as quickly as possible

[left bobcat]

Communication is key

[molten oasis]

dating? i wish

[left bobcat]

Oh-

[real prairie]

anyone think i can win worlds with Magikarp? (he says trying desperately to get the convo back to pokemon)

[chrome knot]

having a vgc girlfriend is kinda cool

[lofty tartan]

Nope

[chrome knot]

would recommend

[real prairie]

but Splash >

[molten oasis]

is a terrible move

i bet having a girlfriend is cool too bad i have 0 game

[left bobcat]

Just gotta surround yourself with good people

Two relationships- wasted 😔🥤

[next stump]

having a non-VGC playing girlfriend is kinda OP too since you can complain about your losses and they don’t know any better so they’ll trust that RNG was why you lost

[chrome knot]

LMFAO

[molten oasis]

it does not help i have social anxiety lol

[mint void]

Advertisment for yourself? or your girlfriend?

[chrome knot]

nah i was explaining what happened and i got a full on wait a second… and then she coooooked me

[left bobcat]

Then just get a shy shawty

[mighty stump]

I have a non-VGC gf

she doesn’t understand anything

[molten oasis]

being shy and being socially anxious are 2 different things

[real prairie]

trying to explain the points system for qualifying for worlds to my partner over the last hour, now we are both confused

[mighty stump]

can confirm you can complain

[balmy glen]

I can say having a non vgc gf was interesting and I think I’d rather have a vgc one

[chrome knot]

it was aight between rounds id help her lab a weird mu was kinda fung

[left bobcat]

At least the both of you can be socially awkward with each other

[balmy glen]

[mighty stump]

Is that why your profile changed

[chrome knot]

being able to travel with someone wnd both of yall will be up bright and early saturday morning for the same activity is such a wholesome feeling

[mint void]

Ngl...you just gotta push through. Thats what Im doing mostly

[real prairie]

convert her, my Mrs never liked Anime, now shes watched OP, Naruto and My Hero

[mighty stump]

I couldn’t even get my gf to watch Arcane

[chrome knot]

we were going to but she forgor her netflix info

[molten oasis]

nah i got vgc and work to keep me going

[real prairie]

mine is currently refusing

[balmy glen]

We are still friends but not dating anymore :p

[molten oasis]

[mighty stump]

I cant be friends with exes

[chrome knot]

[mint void]

[balmy glen]

[lofty tartan]

I have a pokemon playing wife that knows enough things to be supportive of me, while also being kickass

[chrome knot]

attaboy

[real prairie]

I struggle to be friends with the women i do sleep with let alone the ones im actively trying not to 🤣

[left bobcat]

We still live in the same town so sometimes we come across each other so I just look the other way around

[molten oasis]

ive thought about dating apps but they all seem pretty bad

[balmy glen]

Pokémon dating app 🤓

[lofty tartan]

Just go meet people.

[left bobcat]

Don’t do it

Just go out there and meet people

[lofty tartan]

Dating apps are good for flings but they never amounted to anything important.

[molten oasis]

i dont have the opportunites to rn

[chrome knot]

check me out 2 weeks later when i win Vancouver😤😤

[lofty tartan]

At least for me.

[left bobcat]

It increases your charm it’s good for confidence

[lofty tartan]

It's not an opportunistic thing. See someone in passing? Think they're cute? TALK TO THEM

[left bobcat]

Just don’t be over confident

[mint void]

Do what you feel comfy with ngl. Dating apps can just be bad for confidence

[real prairie]

My kids godparents met on Tinder 🤷‍♂️ there are always examples of it working

[molten oasis]

just kinda working on the money i owe the school

[left bobcat]

Type shit

[molten oasis]

see i feel comfortable with nothing so shits hard for me regardless

[lofty tartan]

I said "for me" because I'm not making generalist comments about dating apps when I know people who have gotten relationships from them.

[mint void]

Thats not how that works for aome people.

Sometimes its hard to just put yourself out there

[real prairie]

Dating aps as a man are a good way to go from feeling bad about yourself to crippling depression

[next stump]

LOL

[chrome knot]

gang

[molten oasis]

thats kinda why i haven't tried lol

[left bobcat]

It’s the best way

But I agree

[chrome knot]

im tryin real hard not to call yall sad😭

[next stump]

yeah man I have female friends who literally print matches every time they open the app

[lofty tartan]

Fake it til you make it.

[next stump]

and guy friends who get maybe 5 matches per week with swiping daily

[left bobcat]

I feel like one must really understand themselves first

[mint void]

I just always hooked onto a friend and extended my "people" liket that. Im like only close to about 6 people(?)

[molten oasis]

but im bad at acting

[next stump]

turns out - dudes are desperate

[left bobcat]

Really really desperate

[real prairie]

5 per week is a hell of a week

[lofty tartan]

Dude there are a million excuses to not put yourself out there, resulting in more days of wishing you did.

[left bobcat]

One of my peers was harassing a girl to go on a date

[lofty tartan]

If you DON'T put yourself out there, women aren't going to FLOCK to you.

They don't know you exist.

[molten oasis]

i will use every single one (being more social is a goal i have for next year)

[mint void]

Hard agree there. But juat hard to confince yourself to go up to people and try to get to know new people when you constantly think: they will probably be pisse of if I approach them

[lofty tartan]

This is so defeatist that it prevents you from ever speaking to people.

[next stump]

win a regional and the ladies will flock to you 😎

[left bobcat]

I feel like people need to just learn how to take rejection

[foggy lodge]

True

[molten oasis]

DIllon, i aint winning a regional anytime soon im broke asf

[mint void]

@lofty tartan that how a mental blockade called social anxiety works though

[real prairie]

[pallid hare]

competitive dating advice

[lofty tartan]

If you have such crippling social anxiety that talking to people in public is an impossible task, you should probably talk to your doctor about coping mechanisms or therapy.

[left bobcat]

Intimidate the competition

Taunt other mfs

[lofty tartan]

Like I lived with undiagnosed severe anxiety my whole life, and am MAYBE a 7.

I've dated so many women.

[molten oasis]

idk if its actually that bad tbf

[real prairie]

that requires talking to a doctor, we cant talk to ppl

joking aside, i do agree. seek help

[left bobcat]

Oh yeah I recommend therapy

[mint void]

Yeah mostly cause that was my problem. you have to make yourself do it and its not just: You have to put yourself out there. Its at least a little more.

[molten oasis]

i cant afford therapy

[left bobcat]

I didn’t even realize just how bad of an issue I had with myself until I got therapy

[next stump]

https://tenor.com/view/mujikcboro-seriymujik-gif-24361533

[real prairie]

there is no shame in it, been there personally.

[left bobcat]

I got therapy for free

[mint void]

Healt care doesnt cover stuff like this for you?

[lofty tartan]

Nah man all you gotta do is put yourself out there. Talking to women without shrinking into a little ball at the second of notice from the opposite sex IS an appealing trait.

[molten oasis]

idk what my healthcare covers

my parents dont tell me shit

[plain drum]

Mine sure as hell doesn’t lmao

[left bobcat]

Oh-

[molten oasis]

tbf, i havent asked

[lofty tartan]

The session with your doctor is more affordable than you think.

The medication can be reduced in price by an app called GoodRX

[mint void]

Same but I had to almost die twice sooo its not that easy.

[left bobcat]

Eh all I gotta do is just contact military counseling and they’ll determine how many counseling sessions I need

[lofty tartan]

I didn't have insurance when I went to get therapy for anxiety.

My pills cost me 8 dollars every 90 days

And I am comfortable in my own skin as a result.

[mint void]

I feel like you aren't listening

[chrome knot]

tbf for all if u if u saw my gf you’d know im the funny one

[plain drum]

Mika is sponsored confirmed

[molten oasis]

i did grow up being shy in the first place so i think it grew into social anxiety after covid

[mint void]

Yeah. But it took you a little more than just putting yoursepf out there no?

[lofty tartan]

I feel like you're just making stuff up to reason why it's impossible.

It's not a complicated task. These are people, not monsters.

Just talk to women. Make jokes. Don't be scared.

[chrome knot]

i wish💀

[left bobcat]

Yeah

[lofty tartan]

Like I'm not speaking this from a place of hyperbole, I'm speaking from a place of experience.

[molten oasis]

[left bobcat]

I remember that I was pretty shy back then- I mean I’m still anti social I don’t really talk a lot unless I’m feeling it

[lofty tartan]

I'm not a super attractive dude.

The women I've dated are well out of my league

Just be fucking charming.

[mint void]

Its NOT impossible. Im doing pretty fine. Just saying that it isnt simply putting yourself out there because that is the underlying issue

[lofty tartan]

(that last one is a half-joke)

[bold geode]

This right here
GoodRX is goated AF

[left bobcat]

But you definitely gotta have confidence and character

[plain drum]

Important: YMMV

[molten oasis]

its something i could do

[lofty tartan]

What is the underlying issue? Inability to put yourself out there? I'm not following because you're being too vague and just saying "things"

[molten oasis]

its hard but its gonna be hard cuz i just dont do anything and have low self esteem

[rustic mountain]

when

[chrome knot]

yo mama(mv)

[left bobcat]

Well that’s how it is

You gotta work and earn things

[bold geode]

Worked for me when I used it before
But now it probably wouldn't

[molten oasis]

i've been told im good at holding conversations

[plain drum]

It’s true, her mood swings all the time

[mint void]

W/e

We are mostly agreeing anyway

[bold geode]

Yeah you talk too much bitch

[rustic mountain]

[mint void]

So just start em then

[left bobcat]

Somehow I make corny jokes work

[chrome knot]

[rustic mountain]

[lofty tartan]

Gross Tree.

[mint void]

I hate finding good topics for new people cause Im still stuck in 2010 where gaming is still kinda niche.

[bold geode]

I'm just fuckin with ya
I'm talkative myself

[molten oasis]

lmfao

[rustic mountain]

get ur mind out the gutter

[bold geode]

No, my mind is the gutter.

[left bobcat]

Huh?

[rustic mountain]

[molten oasis]

[pallid hare]

so, I'm learning that many comp players are either in good relationships or are lonely

[mint void]

@pallid hare or middle

[molten oasis]

bro dont out me like that (its true)

[pallid hare]

its okay, I'm also lonely

[mint void]

Pretry sure its just normal people like everywhere with a hobby

And issues

[plain drum]

I’m right here

[gentle crag]

maskedravager has given 1 Gen Rep to burnttoaster42

[molten oasis]

[plain drum]

Free rep I forgor

[molten oasis]

imma stick with my hobbies gundam and gaming are awesome

[pallid hare]

good ol steamcrappy

[mint void]

@molten oasis what is unattractive?

[bold geode]

He just like me frfr

[molten oasis]

gaming, from what i've heard

[left bobcat]

Wait what’s unattractive?

[bold geode]

You
Got em

[plain drum]

There are people out there who think the same, I promise. Hobbies are a great way to meet and connect with others

[lofty tartan]

O.o

[mint void]

@molten oasis well i see lists where gaming is worse than gambling and alcohol(as a fucking hobby) so Imma just not give a fuck abt these peoples opinions

[mint void]

U arr litterally monke

[lofty tartan]

Gaming has become intensely mainstream. My wife is a gamer, but as a child she wasn't allowed to game

[bold geode]

What's unattractive
Uh tall white men with beards apparently (totally not me)

[plain drum]

Fuck.

[left bobcat]

But who doesn’t game? Even a little

I mean if you look like this then yeah

[molten oasis]

beards look good if you take care of them

[lofty tartan]

Wrong. I'm a tall white man with a beard and I get people in my store all the time complimenting my face toupee

[bold geode]

I play Fortnite with couples all the time

[pallid hare]

I wish I could keep my beard, but unfortuantely my work prevents me from having one

[molten oasis]

people really like my hair

[lofty tartan]

Dude past girlfriends used to sit and stroke my beard. They're attractive.

[bold geode]

Damn so someone gave me the ugly then

[molten oasis]

tf does your beard look like

[lofty tartan]

Facial hair is masculine and we're all technically animals that follow instinct.

[bold geode]

You have an afro
You would've killed it in high school
White girls in high school LOVE afros

[plain drum]

I think Mika is just dunking on us now

[molten oasis]

i didnt have an afro until the end of high school

[bold geode]

So I have returned to Monke?

[lofty tartan]

My beard needs a trim 😐

[bold geode]

Mine needs a trim too
I'm like fuckin Wolverine rn dude

[molten oasis]

i work in food i cant grow out my beard that much

[lofty tartan]

I just got professional trimmers so we're gonna tighten up real nice.

[plain drum]

Drop the skincare routine next

[bold geode]

People make people with beards wear hairnets over the beard so uh

[molten oasis]

we dont have beardnets

[lofty tartan]

Another tip? Like... just try to look good. Not like "oh I'm a dandy dapper gentleman" but personal hygeine and matching clothes go a long way.

[bold geode]

Places I've seen just use straight up hairnets

[foggy lodge]

True

[molten oasis]

ah

[bold geode]

Do you not have hairnets

[lofty tartan]

Yeah a beardnet is just a hairnet wrapped around your chin

[molten oasis]

yes

cuz i have to wear one everyday i go in

[lofty tartan]

I've worn them. I hate them.

[foggy lodge]

I think its more about like self care than looking good by itself

[molten oasis]

they're itchy at times it fucking sucks

[lofty tartan]

Yeah for sure, but self care makes you look good, and helps instill confidence in yourself. 😄

[molten oasis]

and it dampens my hair, and when its big it looks good

[left bobcat]

Swaggg

[mint void]

My brother always tried to make me try mainstream shit but I just dont like it. If gone a bit into direction history professor in the past(the good direction tho)

[lofty tartan]

You don't have to have anything to be confident about, but people can tell confidence from being meek

[bold geode]

Then how do Pokemon players get bitches without wearing deodorant

[molten oasis]

pokemon players arent as bad as smash players

[lofty tartan]

Again, we're all animals. Mating, partnership, etc, these are all things driven in a large part by instinct.

[foggy lodge]

i thought pokemon was better than smash 😭

[molten oasis]

i didn't have a smell issue at NAIC

[bold geode]

Apparently not from what I heard

[molten oasis]

the CITY smelled pretty bad

the convention center didn't smell that bad

[bold geode]

Bro was sniffing his own ass

[molten oasis]

[mint void]

Have barely used deodorant in my life ans it takes a fuck load for me to actually smell. Like really intense sweating in summer type shit

[foggy lodge]

im at santiago too is horrible

[left bobcat]

Wtfff

[bold geode]

Excuse me?

[foggy lodge]

My rain is acid rain😭

[plain drum]

F

[molten oasis]

that sucks

[bold geode]

I need deodorant
I sweat fucking waterfalls bro

[left bobcat]

I like smelling good regardless

[mint void]

Never needed to. I love perfumes tho

[molten oasis]

brother buy a stick for like 3 bucks

or smth, like it aint that expensive to buy deoderant

[pallid hare]

I just wish I actually had a place to go where I could meet people, I live out in bumfuck nowhere and its difficult to find anything let alone go to it without having to burn like a quarter to half a tank of gas

[bold geode]

Nah bro definitely just recommended Speed Stick

[left bobcat]

Native deodorant, cologne, and lotion

I’m always smelling good

[bold geode]

Actually deodorant ain't that expensive what am I saying LMAO

[mint void]

Only thing for me are 2 clubs filled with people I really dont wanna deal with.

[plain drum]

Monke be saying anything bc that’s what Monke does

[mint void]

So yeah we cooked

[molten oasis]

yea dumbass lol

[lofty tartan]

It's so inexpensive, some game stores give it away for free because their patrons are allergic to showers.

[left bobcat]

Wait why?

[bold geode]

I be talking out my ass frfr

[pallid hare]

they've never had a good hot shower then

[bold geode]

LMAO that's almost like what Trump does to people with bad breath

[left bobcat]

Oh you’re making me remember

[mint void]

Cause nothing to do remotely for me and them. Its not easy to just go to the next big city every week.

[left bobcat]

When I used to go to events for vgc and smash bro them mfs stank

[bold geode]

The one thing I found a bit funny that Trump does
Deadass if he was in an interview with someone and they had bad breath, he'd offer em a breath mint

[mint void]

Hard

[molten oasis]

i have mints or gum on me on like a regular basis

[lofty tartan]

I'm always super paranoid about how I smell because I notice how the public smells when they walk into my store.

[mint void]

^

[lofty tartan]

Smelling good matters.

[left bobcat]

Polar ice gum

[bold geode]

I usually have gum on me at all times
Especially since chewing gum is one way I deal with anxiety
But during summer I don't chew as much as I do at other times cuz usually I'm drinking a ton of water during summer

[left bobcat]

absolutely

[molten oasis]

i have a shit ton of altoids rn

[bold geode]

Watermelon better

[left bobcat]

Ain’t nobody wanna be with someone that stank

Politics (from Ancient Greek πολιτικά (politiká) 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of status or resources.

Not all uses of the word "politics" refers to government.

Hey the rolls are the only thing at Texas Roadhouse that are fucking edible bro

Texas Roadhouse is okay

I am an expert on steak
Texas Roadhouse ain't it

[plain drum]

Dillon my goat

[molten oasis]

they originated in illinois or smth like that

[mint void]

Closest is 9hrs or so away

[lofty tartan]

Yeah but I've had countless people tell me they're experts on steak and then they both can't cook medium rare and don't understand how to season meat.

[next stump]

eat texas roadhouse friday night before a regional and i promise you’re getting day 2

[bold geode]

YEAH IT'S FUCKING BLASPHEMY DRAGO

[lofty tartan]

So "expert on steak" is dubious at best.

[solid frigate]

i ate in outback steakhouse before in Hong Kong Before and i love the bread so badly

[molten oasis]

ight bet

[bold geode]

What
Why would you say that to me

[pallid hare]

day 2 runs?

[lofty tartan]

Because it's the truth.

[bold geode]

Now Outback ain't bad

[next stump]

has anyone ever had the bread at brazilian steakhouses, the cheesy kind?

[bold geode]

Outback way better than Texas Roadhouse

[next stump]

that’s sooooo good

[molten oasis]

i've never been to one

[lofty tartan]

"I COOK SUCH GOOD STEAK"

doesn't season

Dude have you heard of salt and pepper?

the difference between seasoned steak and unseasoned steak is like night and day

[left bobcat]

GUHHHHHHHHH

[pallid hare]

so this went from dating advice, to self-care, and now we're talking about steakhouses

[molten oasis]

seasoned steak is so good

[left bobcat]

I gotta wake up early and drive 4 hours tomorrow

[lofty tartan]

You always season a steak.

[bold geode]

If I gotta put A1 on that bitch it ain't seasoned enough in my eyes

[plain drum]

Naturally, going to the right steakhouse is self-care

[molten oasis]

you're probably right

[lofty tartan]

I eat A1 because I love the flavor of vinegar-based sauces.

[left bobcat]

Mannn I can’t believe my break is almost over 😔

Just a little more please 😔🥤

[pallid hare]

You know, you're right

[molten oasis]

i dont have a break i just need to know i need to figure out what im doing next year

[lofty tartan]

There's a difference in eating steak sauce and drowning your dinner in it

[bold geode]

Oh honestly I do too I love A1 but the rest of my family that's how they tell you their steak is fuckin bland
If they add A1 to it

[pallid hare]

Last time I used A1 was with grilled chicken, it worked

[bold geode]

A1 works with more than just steak just saying

[lofty tartan]

I make a glaze that's A1 and honey

You just add some brown sugar to it

[molten oasis]

i also dont really wanna eat at roadhouse, cuz i work there

[bold geode]

A1 is good on porkchops

[mint void]

Soy glaze

[lofty tartan]

Meh I'm middling on soy.

[molten oasis]

i could go to outback sometime

[bold geode]

Am I a mad man for saying BBQ glaze

[molten oasis]

I use mostly original glazes or balsamic glaze.

I'm the color of sour cream and that video hurt me

[bold geode]

I love BBQ bro

Then again Texas is like
It has some fire BBQ

[next stump]

texas bbq is insanely good

[bold geode]

I fucking love BBQ

[next stump]

give me some brisket, toast, and coleslaw and i’m in heaven

[mint void]

Omma hit the mat. Have fun.

[lofty tartan]

Trash can turkey.

[balmy glen]

Dillon are u going to San Antonio

[next stump]

no sir

[bold geode]

BRO YES

[pallid hare]

I'm from North Carolina, we've got a bizarre feud involving barbeque

[chrome knot]

BRISKET IS GAAAASSSS

[bold geode]

Except maybe the coleslaw
Coleslaw for me is really hit or miss

[lofty tartan]

We have brisket and toast up here. Not a purely Texan thing. Maine is mostly known for snow and seafood but our summers are all barbeque

[molten oasis]

you're saying turkey is bad?

[next stump]

if i lived in the south id be 50 lbs heavier

[lofty tartan]

No. Trash can turkey is what we call a certain method of cooking turkey.

[bold geode]

Bro why you think I got to 250

[molten oasis]

what lmao, how does that work

[bold geode]

You cooking shit with Oliver?

[lofty tartan]

[next stump]

https://tenor.com/view/dadadadada-skibididop-eseses-gif-27452766

[pallid hare]

is that where you dunk a frozen turkey in hot oil and watch it explode?

[lofty tartan]

Y'all don't know what fuckin' trash can turkey is and it's insane.

No.

[bold geode]

Or wtf is his name
The trash can mfer from Sesame Street

[molten oasis]

no i dont lol

[solid frigate]

Cooking With Oliver is basically a death sentence on food creation

[solid frigate]

sounds so familiar for me lol

[bold geode]

That's frying a turkey and it's legitimately dangerous if you don't know what you're doing from what I've heard

[bold geode]

You ever watch Kay's Cooking?

[pallid hare]

I know, thats why I'd never do it

[lofty tartan]

So you install a spike in the ground. Put turkey on spike. Line the ground underneath with aluminum foil and place coals over that. Put the trash can upside down over the whole setup.

Put coals on top, and line the edge of the can with coals

[molten oasis]

ah, yep never seen that before

[bold geode]

Sounds almost like barbacoa

[lofty tartan]

It produces the most tender, smoky, delicious turkey

[bold geode]

Hey babe

[forest arrow]

Have yall ever ate boudin and gumbo?

[molten oasis]

idk what that even is

[forest arrow]

hey babe

[solid frigate]

i want to die seeing this

[bold geode]

Is boudin those rice sausages?

[gentle crag]

dollarmonke has given 1 Gen Rep to throwdatahh

[lofty tartan]

We don't usually eat gumbo this far north. That's more a southern thing.

[forest arrow]

says the man that went to New Orleans

[forest arrow]

basically

[pallid hare]

considering the only cooking thing I watch is ordinary sausage, I'm not much of a cook

[bold geode]

Kay's Cooking is a cooking channel with an old British lady and her cooking is a fucking abomination

[forest arrow]

heaven on earth yall need to try at least once

[bold geode]

Yeah I'm sorry but boudin is so ass

[molten oasis]

fun fact i did kinda noting in new orleans

[bold geode]

At least when I had it

[molten oasis]

well not nothing but when we ent out to eat we didn't know where to go

[forest arrow]

prob didnt have good boudin

[bold geode]

Bro could've got fried chicken and didn't smh

[lofty tartan]

Half the fun of these events is going out and experiencing the local culture.

[molten oasis]

i did stuff i meant food wise

the ww2 museum they have was really cool

[bold geode]

Did you find a Weezing in a certain exhibit

[lofty tartan]

When I go out to eat in an unfamiliar place, I just pick a spot and go.

Don't think about it - just go check it out

[molten oasis]

dude shut up lmao

[bold geode]

I look around to see what's available but then I go and I just see shit lol

I love food
I'm so excited for NAIC because of the food as well

[lofty tartan]

I was just walking around Toronto. Saw a sign with a burger that looked like I'd eat it.

Went inside and ordered a lamb burger instead.

[bold geode]

Lamb is pretty good

[molten oasis]

we also didn't wanna walk aroudn that much

[left bobcat]

Toronto-

[molten oasis]

it was so fucking hot dude

[bold geode]

Ok Discord mod
Bro can't handle heat

[left bobcat]

For some reason there’s only one person that comes to mind when I think of Toronto

[lofty tartan]

Dude it was -6 degrees my first day in Toronto. I was definitely out and about cause I was hungry lol

[molten oasis]

it was like 100+ degress

thats miserable

[bold geode]

Bitch
Was it humid

[molten oasis]

yea lmao

[bold geode]

Oh nvm I retract my statement LMAO

[left bobcat]

My lungs 😵

[molten oasis]

convention center is close to a river

[bold geode]

I hate humidity so much

[lofty tartan]

Maine is always humid as hell. We're built different.

Coastal.

[molten oasis]

japan was worse heat tbf

[left bobcat]

I grieve different

[molten oasis]

the humidity there makes it so much hotter

[bold geode]

Actually New Orleans gotta be bad cuz technically that whole city is under the fuckin sea iirc

[lofty tartan]

Humidity anywhere makes it much hotter. If you're in a coastal region, the air is so thick you can see it.

[forest arrow]

Crawfish étouffée is amazing too

[left bobcat]

KRABBY

[molten oasis]

idk what that it but it sounds gas

[bold geode]

Bro it literally feels like fucking glue if it gets hot enough

[forest arrow]

so gas

[left bobcat]

So ass

[forest arrow]

I miss Louisiana lol

[bold geode]

Eh I'm not a crawfish guy

[lofty tartan]

Yeah we peak over 100 degrees out here in a mountainous and coastal expanse.

And then our winters are sub-zero temps

[molten oasis]

i plan to go to new orleans with a friend who's actually been so he might be able to get us actually moving around more

[bold geode]

Our weather is crazy
Hell here lately we had rain so fucking random

[molten oasis]

we may also stay longer this time we only stayed for 2 days cuz the trip was kinda last minute

[left bobcat]

The weather where I’m at is fine

During the summer tho im dying

[left bobcat]

Omg it’s Conner

[molten oasis]

doesn't kill groudon explodes to origin pulse

[left bobcat]

I read that as frank ocean

[pallid hare]

origin pulse misses

[solid frigate]

Ice Beam?

[bold geode]

Kyogre got whole ocean, what a greedy bitch

[left bobcat]

For some reason I feel like pp blade misses more than origin pulse

[molten oasis]

they could have at least given groudon the land close to them but nah lets just give him a rock

[bold geode]

Bro just like that

[lofty tartan]

That's what? Observer bias?

[left bobcat]

We have a hul- rock

[shadow wind]

And who never backed down?

The goat

[left bobcat]

Idk some guy named Conner that uses Groudon

[shadow wind]

🫡🫡🫡

[molten oasis]

that meme just flooded back into my head

[left bobcat]

But that guy has been missing when the world needed him the most

[solid frigate]

didn't Groudon just casually walks in the Ocean in the Hoopa Movie

Aka Rayquaza Glazer power scaled Rayquaza too much Movie

[molten oasis]

probably lol

[left bobcat]

Yet groudon is weak to water

[solid frigate]

like that Movie just did the creation Trio Dirty

[left bobcat]

that’s like sandile not being able to swim in water

[molten oasis]

y'all remember this meme that happened for a while

[molten oasis]

@molten oasis am I wrong or is this just regular PC shit

Dexerto (@Dexerto) on X

Marvel Rivals has a bug that causes players at low FPS to move slower and do less damage on certain heroes

This gives players with high-end PCs an advantage

When reg G started i didn't expect it to be super meta

And its still not super meta but like, i think you have to respect Roaring tbh lol

[balmy glen]

that makes no sense

[molten oasis]

what doesn't make sense?

[balmy glen]

that he didnt expect it to be super meta

[molten oasis]

did it do well at worlds or smth?

[bold geode]

"you tell yourself that"

What restricted you think pair well with Moon tho

[molten oasis]

CSR for sure

[balmy glen]

kyogre was proven to do well with it

[bold geode]

Guess Roaring Moon would do stuff for Koraidon

Idk how Moon would fit with like Zama though so uh

[molten oasis]

i think its ok with zac

[bold geode]

Like I'm convinced now Zama and Pao at least for rn are soul mates

[foggy lodge]

how is CSR with it?

It’s prob fine

[left bobcat]

Is it weird that I like glastrier better than ice rider?

[bold geode]

Roaring Moon good
But I'm probably gonna just play to beat it vs use it

[shadow wind]

One more game and I'm 1700

But one loss and I'm losing fricking 7 trillion elo

[left bobcat]

I’m either on a winning streak

Or a losing one

[shadow wind]

That's so real

Although I lost the game for 1700 and then managed to win the next 2

But opponent elo stopped me from hitting 1700

But this Reg is all momentum

[left bobcat]

This reg for is all about creativity

[shadow wind]

Yeah !

[placid mist]

Looking to improve my team any feedback is appreciated. https://pokepast.es/f623ef45d4f074c6 Hard MU include choice scarf urshifu and Tera dragon zamazenta

[craggy dagger]

flamethrower on chi yu is okay.
lots of people run overheat because it just hits a lot harder even though you can miss and there’s a special attack drop
another pointer is unless you’re planning on running tera
blast on chi yu, it likes to have tera ghost to avoid fake out, since fake out hurts choice item mons
if scarf shifu proves to be a problem you can always run tera fairy and draining kiss instead of psychic on calyrex.
cornerstone and farigiraf is an interesting pick but if you want redirection and trick room help, you can always try follow me after you clefairy and you can run a weather setter like wide guard pelipper or tailwind sunny day/rain dance tornadus for speed control

-# sorry for the paragraph/

[atomic portal]

https://tenor.com/view/yugi-moto-seto-gif-27524188

@shadow wind @torn parrot the two of u guys constant 1 upping on the ladder

[placid mist]

Thanks for your advice i appreciate the help. I like Flamethrower for a consistent spamable fire move but overheat is good for me to consider. Tera ghost is a good idea for Chi yu i will do that. I like the Dkiss idea i am definitely considering it but i just dont like that it does so little, but it would help into Zam alot tho not really urshifu. Honestly clefairy is a really good suggestion i just dont like it 💀. And i will considering pelliper for more support thanks for your advice

[shadow wind]

Who is who?

[craggy dagger]

i mean if you don’t like clefairy then you can run indeedee
i feel like compressing redirection and trick room support in one is nice

This is- this is my story 😼

Yeah well where are YOU on the ladder?

[molten oasis]

real lmao

[shadow wind]

Not to say ladder placement is everything

Because that's a bad mentality

But lower number cooler

[left bobcat]

THATS BESIDES THE POINT

Clearly I’m the kind of protagonist that starts at the bottom and climbs up the ladder

[shadow wind]

Bro has been there for a while

[left bobcat]

It’s about the journey and the friends we made along the way ☝️😼

Groudon has that written on him

Funny

But ehhhh

[left bobcat]

I was thinking about using shadow rider and spectrier but then I realize how bad that would really be

[shadow wind]

Yeah at least CIR resists CIR

CSR does not

[left bobcat]

Hearthflame Ogerpon has really been putting in work tho

[shadow wind]

Firepon is really great

Will o wisp and Spore scapegoat

[left bobcat]

I used to always use wellspring

Even in my sun teams incase of urshifu

[shadow wind]

Good Kyogre answer

And Urshifu

[left bobcat]

But I prefer hearthflame

[shadow wind]

I prefer Hearthflame

[left bobcat]

Gets the job done

[shadow wind]

Yup

And hits like a billion bricks

[left bobcat]

Plus 1 attack and in the sun someone is gonna explode

[shadow wind]

100%

[left bobcat]

Flash fire or 4x resistance is the only chance to tank it

[shadow wind]

Mold breaker too

[left bobcat]

As for Urshifu

Ive been able to use it in a small support role

I always used the scarf or band

[shadow wind]

Darkfu is cool

https://pokepast.es/dd760d0b792f2eb0

[left bobcat]

But sometimes people don’t expect taunt or coaching ursh

[shadow wind]

This is my current team

hey friend, quick question. what pokemons are good alternatives for water ogerpon

[left bobcat]

What is water pons role?

[shadow wind]

Yeah

It's a hard mon to replace I think

Follow me water absorb

[foggy island]

he fast with water absorb

[shadow wind]

Pretty unique

[left bobcat]

It really it can play quite the support

And be offensive

[foggy island]

1 moment. let me get stats

damn okay. nevermind. thank you thou

playing rank in scarlet.

[molten oasis]

what is that set?

[shadow wind]

Yo wait

[foggy island]

thinks he banned now.

[shadow wind]

I didn't even look at the set

What is that 😭

[left bobcat]

Oh snap

It’s pure offensive

[shadow wind]

How did none of us even look at it

[foggy island]

yup with pelipper

[shadow wind]

So doubles is defensive

[left bobcat]

A non stab play rough and knock off……uh

[shadow wind]

So protect and protect adjacents are very useful

[foggy island]

pelipper surfing all day and operpon just be poiseidon

[foggy lodge]

All Ogerpon need follow me in this regulation

[left bobcat]

Unless you got armor tail or something like that but protect is pretty important

[foggy lodge]

Its just a broken move

[shadow wind]

Yup

[foggy island]

i see

[shadow wind]

Follow me and Spiky shield should be on almost every single set

[foggy lodge]

In Ogerpon it creates basically a role compression between support and offensive

[shadow wind]

There are very few exceptions where you don't want them

[foggy island]

welp look like ill just use feralgator

[shadow wind]

🤨

[left bobcat]

Uh-

That’s quite the downgrade

[shadow wind]

[shadow wind]

Have you seen his stats?

[foggy island]

unless i make greninja or something

[foggy lodge]

Nothing like that will replace an Ogerpon wellspring

Especially for a regulation like reg g

With power houses and superiors like ursh ogerpon raging bolt and flutter

[foggy island]

lolol okay no water croc. gastrodon then?

[left bobcat]

That’s a good option

[shadow wind]

Gastrodon is cool

[left bobcat]

Just be careful because it’ll explode to one grass move

[foggy island]

guess my water team gonna be down for now

[shadow wind]

Water? Sun is like way cooler

[foggy island]

thats what pelipper is for. hurricane. WINDS OF THE WEST!!!

Iron Jugulis?

🤨

[left bobcat]

….

[foggy island]

wait hear me out!!

[left bobcat]

You know prankster sunny day whims is also a good option

[shadow wind]

Or just use Torkoal or Groudon 😭

[foggy island]

Uggghh its always torkoal and groudon. i wanna be different

[shadow wind]

It is NOT ALWAYS Groudon

[left bobcat]

I mean by all means you can try-

Besides it’s mostly Koraidon and torkoal

[shadow wind]

Bro has no idea the struggle of being a minority

[foggy island]

lolol wanna battle!! i can show you

[shadow wind]

Nope

[left bobcat]

I’m not in my house and my switch doesn’t work so I’m stuck with showdown for a while

[foggy island]

Nah, it is always groudon, nintales, or torkoal. boring. using different mons to spark it up.

[shadow wind]

...

[foggy island]

showdown fine

[left bobcat]

I mean-

[shadow wind]

Almost like those pokemon have drought...

[left bobcat]

I can probably battle but I got no idea what team to use

Matter of fact I’m even building one right now

[foggy island]

we need new mons for sunnyday like magmor or heatmor

https://pokepast.es/774751c5dc2c4500

[left bobcat]

But based on those reactions I’m gonna assume bro- you’re cappin

[shadow wind]

Doesn't look like a jumpluff

Actually, none of these look like jumpluff

[foggy island]

nah wolfy was fighting that dude with politoe

[shadow wind]

That was NOT worlds

[foggy island]

hold on. i gotcha

it not? it said championships

[shadow wind]

If that's worlds then I've won an regional

[foggy island]

??? then im sorry for the misinformation but i wasnt lying about the rank battles ive been in

[shadow wind]

These guys?

[foggy island]

yeah them.

[shadow wind]

The Toronto Regional

[foggy island]

[molten oasis]

[shadow wind]

Wolfe con perish 😔

So anyway

At this very moment

[foggy island]

yeah. ever since that battle. ive been seeing jumpluff and damn gothetell

[shadow wind]

Regulation H which was the format for the past couple of months ends in just over 48 hours

[foggy island]

ranks battles was wild. that why my luxray have ice fang and baby doll eyes

[shadow wind]

We will be shifting back into Regulation G in January

[foggy island]

incenroars and laprass perish songs all day

oh so paradox mons can come back?

[shadow wind]

What rank are you on the ranked ladder?

[foggy island]

in the pokemon SV im on the pokeball rank.

almost to great ball

[shadow wind]

And do you have desire to reach as high as possible?

[foggy island]

yes. and get the master rank!!

[shadow wind]

Great

[foggy island]

i got master rank twice but it was in singles

[shadow wind]

So if I were you, I would start making a Regulation G team

[foggy island]

i wanna try doubles

[shadow wind]

Cause you realistically got 2 days left of Reg H and it's like ehh

[foggy island]

ahh damn. ive been too late.

thanks for telling me. ill wait for reg H. thank u. ill use this moment to build more teams

[shadow wind]

Reg G is coming back not Reg H

Which means one restricted allowed per team

[foggy island]

oh i meant reg G

do you have time for battles?

[shadow wind]

No

There is a ladder on showdown for a reason

[foggy island]

aawww

[shadow wind]

If you want battles go there

[foggy island]

ight. thanks for info

[shadow wind]

👍

[torn parrot]

[mint void]

@torn parrot ggs

Powmot 🔝

[shadow wind]

GRAHHHH

GROUDON TOP 15

[solid frigate]

I feel so bad rn about myself

[shadow wind]

Nah

Groudon is just him

[solid frigate]

I'm using Miraidon and i am still stuck at 1400+

[shadow wind]

Yeah that's cause Groudon is better than Miraidon

💀

[solid frigate]

oh shut the fuck up-

[craggy dagger]

[solid frigate]

Nova stop it-

I understand why Drago is so fustrated about this-

[molten oasis]

about what this format

[solid frigate]

About people getting better consistency than you

[craggy dagger]

i don’t care about consistency if i get to use stupid pokemon like cosmog

[solid frigate]

[craggy dagger]

sorry sorry

[solid frigate]

Nova there's only 19 more days till Birmingham regionals and i have to get higher consistency-

[molten oasis]

i play zac

and incin is extremely annoying

[torn parrot]

I bet

[solid frigate]

you don't think i have to play the fuck around Rilla every fuggin time-

[mint void]

Ez 3 days till 1700 trust me

[solid frigate]

Source:Trust Me Bro

[shadow wind]

Y'all talking like every team doesn't have hard MUs

[mint void]

Well yes litterally

[solid frigate]

I think the calys are begging you differ lol

[shadow wind]

??

[mint void]

Meh. All my Terapagos games were free sailing till now. I lost 2 games. 1 of them i missclicked and didn't bring pagos

Tbf i rarely get to play so its not a big margin

[shadow wind]

Calyrex has tons of bad MUs

Less than others but like Calyrex is hard to play

[solid frigate]

Pagos has 2 bad MUs which is Zama and Korai

CIR if you count that

There is no way CSR has worse MUs than that-

[mint void]

^ CalyS has some rough MUs. Havent played CalyI neither have I read or watched anything abt it yet.

[shadow wind]

Not so much other restricteds but team comps

[mint void]

The mirror can be really ass

[shadow wind]

Dark spam and screens is tough for CSR

[craggy dagger]

I’m gonna be honest here
first in life tournament is just to get a feel of the atmosphere
you don’t have to stress so much cuz you go to make new connections in vgc and just have fun

the first couple in life tournaments are like that

so don’t worry too much about consistency on a closed team sheet Bo1

[solid frigate]

CSR has one of the most random ass team comp (which is the ones i lost to cuz fuck my 50/50 Plays) and CIR has the most consistent

[craggy dagger]

if you wanna get consistency then go practice on cart with limitless or Bo3 showdown

[shadow wind]

I mean the opposing team comps

[solid frigate]

i did in B03 Showdown already- got fucking stumped on it-

[craggy dagger]

yeah
but you’re not perfect the first couple of times
there’s a reason why people practice and practice to get better

you just need to go back at it and practice some more

especially open team sheets cuz regionals is set on that :p

[solid frigate]

sorry i have to throw all the shit in a rant cuz i am so fucking tired on How to win against CIR and Kyogre out of all things-

like just give me a break over that-

i got so tilted that i played TOTK whole day-

[dull ibex]

im going to use 31 speed ice rider and play around that

[spiral ridge]

What did you do in totk

Story or world exploration

[dull ibex]

chat is tera fairy ice rider heat?
