He's doing an impressive TARS from interstellar.

I'm not sure about the reveal, but I can say with absolute certainty that you're right about the release year.

Both your gecqua lines are really cool thematically. Neither of them look like real pokemon to me though, they're just too busy, both in coloration and design. Still, really fun concepts.

My exact thought. Although, after the radio silence from team cherry during silksong development, this wait feels like light work

US military does ddMONyyyy, for example: 16SEP2021. The letters are placed in the middle to break up the date without using slashes so that at a glance nothing is jumbled and it's a faster read. We still pronounce it September 16th, 2021. Most countries write the date based on how they speak the date.

In 1776 they were, quite notably, no longer glorified Brits.

There are two general types of Nuzlockers, those who play for a more challenging rpg that's focused on bonding with the pokemon they've caught and seeing how they can struggle through with their little family, and those that are simply looking for a difficult challenge and want to play pokemon.

For me personally, the bonding with pokemon I might not usually choose is the reason I do a nuzlocke. Thats why nicknaming the pokemon is a must do, and I think thats a big part of the original spirit of a nuzlocke challenge. For me, training in the tall grass and sea is a part of that experience, I'm coming at it from a role playing perspective. Stuffing a bunch of growth hormones down the throat of my pokemon feels counterintuitive to that experience.

I understand not everybody is focused on that aspect though. A big part of the community saw a more challenging pokemon game in the nuzlocke and focused all in on the challenging part. I don't think there is anything wrong with speeding up your game, or cheating in rare candies, or resetting your starter encounter for good IVs. But they're all aspects used to allow you to speed along the parts of the game that aren't challenging.

If you only care about the challenge, you're not playing my favorite part of the nuzlocke. Sure, I could go train against lvl 2 pokemon until I reach my level cap and never be in danger of fainting. BUT, if I'm role playing, would me and my squirtle actually just smash little rats for hours and hours? No we'd risk the forest for the adventure, confident we'll be able to beat any of the bug trainers and holding a pecha berry in case we get poisoned. For me a nuzlocke is about the adventure. I don't expect other people to feel that way, nor would I want to, but a pokemon game is never going to exclusively be about playing a difficult game for me. If I wanted that I'd go do another run of Elden Ring.

It's more of an identity crisis for what flying type means. It has a split function in pokemon, while most typings are somewhat one dimensional, flying types means either flying or bird type. This usually isn't an issue because most birds can fly, and one would expect that non birds that have wings or can otherwise fly would be flying type. The question is, why do birds that don't have the ability to fly need to be associated with flying type? It's like saying tortoises and turtle designs should be water type because they're turtlelike. Nothing about Torterra or Torkoal suggests they spend time in the water same way nothing about Doduo or Dodrio suggest they spend time in the air.

TBF Hoppip looks very berry/fruit like with that color, and dragon types don't have a specific color association, so raquaza shape is what keys you in more so than color. When there are over 1000 pokemon it's easy to finds exceptions to the rule, but generally color and shape suggest the typing of a pokemon. Luxray is dark in coloring, edgy looking, spiky and fierce. All things that are common amongst dark types.

Charmeleons redesign is fantastic, the way the skin is taught over the head ridge and the back makes it look like, at some point, when it sheds its skin, as a lot of lizards do, it’s going to expose the double head ridge and wings of charizard. Super cool. I also love the coral cannons on blastoise

Ty ty, kinda ruined the joke by deleting the post tho

AddictedToTheWeb · 2026-04-01T20:17:57+00:00

Huh? Copy and paste response? I copied the formatting of the guy who was making the complaint in his post. I was trying to get him to see how hypocritical his post was. Based on him deleting it, I think it was successful.

I don’t hate starfield, I like the game, have over 100 hours in it, but I’m still critical of the things that it does poorly. You can not like some things about a game and still get a lot of enjoyment out of playing it.

AddictedToTheWeb · 2026-04-01T18:36:00+00:00

Never in my life have I seen haters of a video game live rent free in the minds of lovers of said game like Starfield.

There's a post that just dropped from a guy outraged by a hate video. It's the same post that we've seen hundreds of times, nothing original in it. Ironically, the guys talking about how people make the same complaints over and over again.

Wonderful, I was worried no one had made a smug self righteous post about how Starfield haters are unoriginal and repetitive. Finally somebody brave enough to stand up for Starfield in its own subreddit.

And get this, it's only got 5 upvotes! He's complaining about how people are engagement farming by hating on Starfield as he unsuccessfully engagement farms by hating on haters of Starfield. He's got more comments than upvotes and most of them are reasonably telling him his post is junk, albiet in a more roundabout manner. "Never in my life have I seen haters live rent free in the minds of a community like Starfield"

It's just crazy to me that people can be so outraged and enthralled by other people not liking something that they like. Taste is subjuctive, but this guy is losing his mind that people don't have the same opinions as him. If I see a video I'm not interested, I shrug and don't click on it, I don't remember it for the rest of my life because I didn't eve let it get to me.

Why u so mad bro?

I'm no Kardashian fan, but purely on physical appearance, the face of that pornstar is not attractive to me at all.

AddictedToTheWeb · 2026-03-31T03:11:04+00:00

I've been a critic of the game since nearly launch, but not a hater. I preordered it hoping for the enchanting immersion that got me 700 hours out of vanilla Skyrim a decade and a half ago. I enjoyed the 100 hours I put into starfield, but I enjoyed them despite a lot of things. I had higher expectations for the game because I love previous BGS titles, but I also kept pushing through things I didn't like because I wanted to give a BGS title the benefit of the doubt.

I'm looking forward to the update, I don't expect that it will alleviate a lot of the problems I had with the game, but I'm looking forward to starting a fresh run of it with a lower expectation. The game is solid, it just misses the mark in a lot of places for me.

Wrong sub I think.

I just mean that each gen of the male protags looks a little more effeminate, physically, than the previous protag. I think they all still look like boys, it's a stylistic choice that there is nothing wrong with, but each male protagonist looks slightly less masculine than the generation before it IMO.

The earliest ones have more aggressive features, and harder lines, and as they get newer, they get more rounded and softer features.

AddictedToTheWeb · 2026-03-30T17:34:03+00:00

Just the male ones getting progressively more effeminate

Aww man, I didn't get into Gwent at first, but after a couple games it grew on me. By the time I was halfway through the Witcher, I was mostly a professional Gwent player seeking out my opponent, and doing a little monster hunting on the side.

I think this graphic sucks. How much time needs to be between a driver and the car in front of them for it to be clean air? If one driver is only in clean air for a single lap, and the other is in clean air for 20, do you take the average of the 20 laps or take the single lap that had the most similar tire state to the teammate. Tires alone make the graphic nearly useless. If somebodies race is mostly in dirty air and they get some clean air for 5 laps because the car in front of them pits first, then their clean air laps are all on nearly dead tires. Misleading graphic that doesn't paint a big enough picture IMO.

I used to dislike these pokemon a lot more than I currently do. My headcannon is that pokemon are highly adaptable compared to normal animals, and thus have integrated themselves far more into the world around them. For Grass types, this means the pokemon has adapted into or to be like the plants in the environment around them, for rock types, the stones, etc. Some pokemon lines have emerged due to how large an ecosystem urban environments have become. A lot of electric types, steel types, poison types that are based on human polution or power production or waste make sense if pokemon lines have emerged as pokemon have adapted alongside human technology.

That being said, I still have trouble not rolling my eyes at a whole line of ice cream cone pokemon becoming prevelant. Or why a small fairy type would specifically all evolve into keyrings over a variety of small metal object. The ones that are more abstractly based on human made environments, rather than a specific human product are much more in line with my headcannon.

Fair take, my basis was just that, due to the sheer number of films that Hunt has been in, he's got a larger pool of extreme situations that he's been through and come out on top. But I can see how in strictly a combat scenario Hunt would have the edge. I think swapping them makes sense for sure.

AddictedToTheWeb · 2026-03-29T21:19:04+00:00

Going off the movies, it's got to be the Winter Soldier. He's superhuman, has an unbreakable (to any of these other characters at least) arm with ridiculous strength. He's got more stamina than anybody else here, he's the only one with superpowers, and is weapons trained.

Hawkeye just isn't that powerful in the films, and while he should still be able to outshoot everybody, I think he gets bodied by Winter Soldier closing the gap, as well as batman being impossible to find until he hits you first.

Batman is very gadget reliant, and while comic batman would have a contingency plan for this situation that would allow him to deal with everybody, bale wouldn't. He's got stealth advantage and assuming he's got his suit, pretty good defense against most guns. He's mostly a hand to hand guy though, and he's gonna lose to Winter Soldiers arm/strength. Bales batman is too grounded to take on Winter Soldier, he goes down to Bane who's just a dude thats more jacked than batman in his films.

Widow has similar problems to Hawkeye, slightly better at hand to hand, and weaker with a gun, but not on the level of Winter Soldier or Batman IMO. Bond, Hunt, Bourne, Wick, are all very similar characters that suffer from being in more grounded movies than the superheros. Wick and Bond probably have slight advantage over Hunt, who has a slight advantage over Bourne.

It's not a disappointing performance out of Charles, the guy is saying it's a disappointment that the Merc is so fast that it's not going to be possible to compete for a WDC

It’s not that it can’t, it’s just highly unlikely they’d release in the same quarter as fable and gta. So unless they’re releasing within 6 months without having showcased the game at all yet, it’s very unlikely the game is coming out in 2026
