I don't really follow Pokemon, but Jan Ochoa over at GiantBomb does these Monday Night Combat streams of Let's Go Pikachu multiplayer battles, so I've been tuning in here and there.

It led me to realize that if you mega-evolve Kangaskhan, it's baby jumps out of the pouch and gets to fight too! It's so great, I love it.

The pacing of DQ Builders is so weird, the start of a chapter is you running around scrounging stuff to make a single piece of equipment and two healing potion to hopefully survive the next mandatory fight up until you gain access to some metal at which point combat is utterly perfunctory until the boss.

the combat is bad but please at least play until chapter 3

Nothing in the actual game, they were about as bland as it gets, but when trailers first released it was pretty clear they were leaning into that to get people talking about the game. It was just gross all around.

i've actually got decent health insurance from my job these days but i'm so used to a life where i don't that it's instilled a powerful aversion response to seeking medical attention for anything, especially at the risk it turns out that i just had to fart real bad or something

My current games I am playing are The Surge with all DLC, and Metro Exodus. Currently I am working on the Surge the most and am half way through the game I think. It is a lot of fun and I am actually enjoying it more than Dark Souls but not as much as Nioh. The science fiction setting that is basically a video game adaptation of the film Elysium, is why I wanted to play this.

if anything they were just weirdo religious libertarians who hated the gubberment. Far Cry 4 was eons better in terms of characters, story, and the equipment you earn. Most of Far Cry 5's weaponry you don't even get til extremely late, as opposed to FC4's crazy stuff you can earn yourself. I loved that Robocop's gun was in that game.

The Wingsuit was also more fun in FC4, mainly because there are actual loving cliffs and vistas to launch off. FC5 is full of flat plains, you can't do poo poo from them.

Some people assumed that there would be a political component because the first marketing happened during 45's Muslim ban and the developer was like, "This game was inspired by the Bundy standoff and witnessing the fracturing of America"

And then later the marketing was like "Race in gyrocopters with your friends and a dog :supaburn: "

When I was like 6 I had crippling stomach pain to the point I was basically crying and screaming doubled over in the fetal position. Got rushed by my parents to hospital. Crying and weeping in the emergency room, brought upstairs sitting in an examination room as the nurses figured appendix or something, I proceeded to let rip the loudest longest fart I to this day can remember doing. Dead silent and then turned to my mum and said "I feel all better now".

Thankfully Australian so whatever I guess.

Best advice I was ever given?

"Ticker, you'll be a lot happier once you stop caring about the opinions of a culture that is beneath you."

I learned my worth, learned the places and people that matter.

Opened my eyes.

When I got my wisdom teeth sometimes they would hurt the inside of my cheeks so I thought I should do something about it but forgot. When they grew more and stopped doing that I just felt like letting them there and we're happily together now.

Mine are partially erupting at a weird angle, and my dentist keeps warning that it will increase the risk of cavities because of the difficulty of cleaning them. They haven't really hurt at all but in times of anxiety I get really fixated on them

Oh yea, when I eventually went to a dentist she said the same about cleaning them but I didn't think it was particularly hard

But then again I always brush my teeth the same way, every time, so I might not be the best reference.

Apex Legends has double the views that Fortnite does

I was really baffled by how it managed to succeed where all other imitators have failed, but a stream I watched the other day actually explained it pretty well; Apex Legends is the only game that was actually designed to be a BR. PUBG is a complete mess for a ton of reasons, and Fortnite just copied PUBG to salvage its pathetic main game. Then Fortnite became popular, and everyone just copied Fortnite. Nobody was actually building a BR from the groundup thinking about how to make it really work. Everyone was just copying Fortnite, which was copying PUBG, which was a piece of trash. It was like a feedback loop of failure that Apex managed to break out of by doing its own thing.

They paid every fortnite streamer to play Apex on launch day which probably got enough momentum that now all those people who got the one day pay check just switched to apex bc it's what people want to see.

I swear to god something similar happened to another goon except they were an adult and had called the ambulance and as they bent over in pain and hobbled to the ambulance with assistance they ripped an earth-shattering fart while the person held them and then instantly felt better.

Unlike you're story they were american so the ambulance cost them like 800 bucks.
