the only problem with cutting pokemon is you invariably cut the one pokemon someone used as an emotional support mechanism.

I'm really looking forward to new outfits.

Extremely blessed and powerful lineup of 6 snorlaxes ftw.

I haven't played pokemon in well over a decade, do you have 20 snorlaxes because there are 20 spots where they fell asleep on a path you need, so you have to wake them up with a flute?

in the new game you can do what are called MAX RAIDS, which is a 4 player co-op dungeon featuring one bigass pokemon. Your team beats the pokemon to a pulp and you get a chance to capture it. Lately, all I've been getting are Snorlaxes and Magikarps. I think I've only caught one Snorlax in the wild and that's because he laughed at my bike. The raids are the only way to effectively farm for XP candies which are the fastest way to get new pokemons up to acceptable levels(i'm currently building a lvl70 team so I need lots of candies as I'm indecisive as gently caress).

I have a little plush Snorlax that came to me randomly, among the supplies my mom got from the shelter with one of our foster kittens. I switched it out for a more kitten-friendly and less fragile toy, and it sits on the table next to my chair at home

obviously I empathize deeply with the sleepy, hungry, large lazy cat-thing who can tank a big hit and sleep off the damage

I basically took everything I learned from the Let's Go and just spec'd for alpha strikes. As long as my hitmonchan hits first I win even if hitmon is off spec because he's 20 levels higher than what I'm fighting usually.

Was having a really fun night with a buddy watching movies both excellent and catastrophic and then two separate complete starngers decided to sour our mood 20 mins apart. Just two random assholes who decided they wanted to talk poo poo at us for no reason. Then I saw a headline that has me sort of loving fuming and I really should go to bed but I'm fairly sure I'll just think about dumbass people and how awful the world is nowadays and not get sleep.

Great!

Any Jazz fans in here? Been really digging Freddie Hubbard's "Backlash" lately, especially the song "Little Sunflower" just really good vibe music with a tinge of the psychedelic.

If anyone is interested in getting into Jazz I recommend Blue Note's compilations, they cover a wide array of artists and styles and usually feature some of the best music of the time. In my mind Jazz is one of the only good American inventions, it's done a lot for me over the years to help with PTSD and anxiety disorders.

Yes, although I'm new to it and for the most part I've let The Algorithim discover new jazz for me. The end result is a playlist that's 50% bebop, 30% Japanese jazz fusion, and the remainder one off jazz albums from around the globe. My fav of all of that is Charlie Mingus but Yuji Ohno is a close second. Ohno mostly works with soundtracks but even for throw away TV movies that dude fully commits.

Macavity going from clothed to nude makes you realize that all this other time everyone else has been nude, and as a result it dawns on the viewer that the cats have been naked the entire time. So that.

2 - I make sure to mention post-sex hygiene and cleanliness.

sounds like a good thing from where I’m sitting. :corsair: Back in my day, I had to learn things like that from lurking LiveJournals that riffed on lovely porny fanfiction excerpts :corsair:

besides, I think it’s good to set a standard that demands at least those nods toward realism, imo. It’s probably better than inadvertently training people to expect “explosions” and what not

in unrelated news, after putting it off for several years I finally filled out my application for a diploma from community college. It should arrive in the mail in a few days :woop:

I might even go back to school for another couple of years, since I tend to thrive in an academic milieu and it’s a good way to expand one’s skill set, but first comes establishing more personal independence on a couple of fronts

tl;dr: giving myself one of those extra-:effort: thumbs up in a manner not unlike that of Orange Cassidy

soundtracks have the best jazz and soul. I love Jazz! The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady is my favorite classic jazz album. Ive been listening to much new jazz and lots of cool stuff is coming out of the uk scene. The comet is comming, sons of khemet, Mark de Clive-Lowe.

I just started back writing smut after taking like a three year break when I nearly had a nervous breakdown from trying to do too much that I didn’t care about.

But, my passive income finally went down to a level that made me nervous. 10500 words so far this week; feels good.

Writing is great. Sometimes the best escape from modern media is to tell yourself a story.

I like to use it to fight back bouts of depression. It's nice to see how many words you can rack up in a year, and feel better about it.

had an idea, because of being a good 'ideas guy'. Let's have all these writers write the story to a video game. you all write the story, and i'll look it over, while some of our artists and coders do the simple art and coding. send me a PM if you can code the rowdy ringsports video game for free, or do art for it for free. the writers have already begun so let's follow their lead.

Oh hey here's that new blog I was talking about starting. It's about food in Hirokazu Kore-eda's movies.

Life Happens While You're Eating: Our Little Sister: Breakfast I

I posted this a week or so back but it was kind of a "soft launch" so I'd have time to familiarise myself with Blogger, check everything was working and get some thoughts on if this is a good idea at all. Anyway, in this first one I talk about a very traditional Japanese breakfast. Gonna start working on the next one tomorrow.

Edit: I also posted this very rambly bit about why I started this dang thing. Pro wrestling is briefly mentioned!!!!! Relevant!!! https://lifehappenswhileyoureeating.blogspot.com/2020/01/about-this-blogproject_3.html

OK I'm a little baffled that pokemon now has co-op RAIDS but I'm laughing at the idea that half your raids are against a magikarp, that owns. I guess it makes sense that so far you've faced the best pokemon and the worst pokemon :hai:

Around the time I found out that pokemon had breeding and that the best way to level pokemon was to have them fight specific other pokemon to grind up specific stats, I decided the series wasn't for me anymore.
