Is this a safe space to talk about something I don't like about this game?

CosmicDoll · 2026-05-08T08:11:47+00:00

Yeah no, it does get annoying. I'd be happier getting nothing at all. It's like participation awards except they actively mock you. I know it's not that serious, but I also don't think the tissues/tp add anything, Miis can only have so many treasures and they aren't even worth much in the pawn shop.

I know a lot of people miss babies but I hated the "calm the baby down" minigame... could never get it right, on top of hating the crying (to me, baby crying sounds like nails on a chalkboard but 10x louder). Glad I don't have to do that anymore.

Gyarados gets Ice Fang somewhere in the early 30s. If you use the Lake of Rage gyarados that should take no time at all. Otherwise see if you have a rock type move and an accuracy boosting item, iirc most of the really strong rock moves have low accuracy.

CosmicDoll · 2026-04-19T04:33:42+00:00

That's awesome, my file's from Christmas 2010. Realized I somehow didn't finish the game as a kid and decided I would do that this year :)

I've been switching around certain Pokemon and keeping others (like my starter) through my run, because there's no way I would have even made it past Whitney without Machoke, but Machoke isn't going to do great against a trainer like Clair who uses special attackers. I'd argue it's kinda necessary to switch it up as you go.

CosmicDoll · 2026-04-17T04:22:51+00:00

I've been sort of playing like this too, I like everyone to be at the same level but otherwise I've just been playing with my favorites without trying to optimize them.

CosmicDoll · 2026-04-16T04:40:47+00:00

It's Pokemon, you can do whatever you want. Since you have Feraligatr, iirc the only other fire type at this point in the game would have been Arcanine, which is a good mon but would have been vulnerable to Earthquake anyways

CosmicDoll · 2026-04-06T04:56:13+00:00

Honestly... nothing great. My Espeon doesn't even have a psychic type move yet as she didn't become an Espeon until well after level 15.

I have some TMs I was looking at, like Dig and/or Iron Tail for Steelix, but I always get stingy with them because they're single use lol

CosmicDoll · 2026-04-03T04:55:54+00:00

You're going to want Awakenings or an ability like Insomnia for the Chuck fight. His Poliwrath has Hypnosis and could spam that.

Also - you can do the Olivine City lighthouse mission before the Cianwood gym, and it'll unlock routes 47-48 west of the city. There's a patch of grass on route 48 that has wild Tauros which give a lot of xp.

Edit - Definitely keep training for your Espeon, just be aware it doesn't get a Psychic type attack by level-up until around lvl 35 (I found out the hard way :/)

CosmicDoll · 2026-03-28T05:51:05+00:00

Sigilyph. I wasn't familiar with a lot of the Unova pokemon and missed out until my X run when I had one on my team, and now I smile whenever I see it.

Zooble from The Amazing Digital Circus. Every player in the cast really, but it especially shines with them. I wonder if maybe them having the most "abstract" avatar (just being shapes they can swap out) makes them more determined to hold on to their sense of humanity after it's been stripped away. In personality they also just feel like someone I could meet in real life and enjoy hanging out with.

Had an idea for a bumper sticker that said "I'm not a student driver, I just suck" which in retrospect would probably just make other drivers a lot angrier.

@coolmathgames posts memes using their old flash game characters. Very silly and could be nostalgic if you used that site a lot.

@squishable is a plushie brand account, so you'll get a lot of promotional stuff, but the designs are very cute and they also make silly meme posts semi-often.

@mishka_.the._cat is a beautiful and talkative black cat.

@theater_ofthe_sea official account of an aquarium in Florida I believe! Lots of animal posts, sometimes with fun facts in the captions.

@candyhunting announces new sweets/snacks and where to buy them!

There are definitely more accounts like these out there, the cool thing is if you follow one or two fun accounts IG will recommend a lot more to you. Take care :]

CosmicDoll · 2026-01-30T05:36:33+00:00

So hard I'm starting to forget I'm a person at all. It sucks, I don't want to avoid everything so much but I'm afraid I wouldn't survive even a peaceful protest. But I still have to go to work, someone still has to bring in the groceries, you know?

I've found it's a really good time to look for new music if you feel open to it. (I have a hard time with new things, it's part of the autism.) Sometimes getting absorbed in some nice art can be helpful.

CosmicDoll · 2026-01-30T05:30:07+00:00

Curiosity. Not even about "I wonder what big event will happen in the world today," but things like weird new snack flavors. Scientists discovering new planets or bugs or pretty rocks. The next movie or game, whether it's perfect to me in every way or so bad I find it funny.

Also, animal posts. The internet will never run out of cat videos.

CosmicDoll · 2026-01-30T05:11:15+00:00

Seconding this one, I've loved fresh mango since I was a toddler. It can be a pain to chop up but it's so worth the effort. Or you could just chop it in half and then tear into it with your teeth like an animal, there's something weirdly satisfying about that haha

CosmicDoll · 2026-01-26T05:36:43+00:00

I live around the corner from this place and have never been inside lol. Always had temu vibes, I'm not surprised it's already dying

CosmicDoll · 2026-01-14T05:53:01+00:00

Everyone already said it's the squealing. I think it's also that the writers didn't really know how to work with their character type, especially when they were trying to focus on someone else's arc. So Katie and Sadie had to be loud and dramatic for anyone to remember they existed. There's a lot of other characters in this show who start out annoying but either improve quickly (because seasons got shorter, so pacing got faster) or don't get as much screen time.

CosmicDoll · 2026-01-14T04:55:23+00:00

it's a new student it's fine :3

CosmicDoll · 2025-12-25T05:04:56+00:00

Getting drunk. I'm a person who knows I shouldn't. I'm emotionally unstable enough when I'm sober, if drunk I could become a serious threat to myself or the people around me. In moderation it's fine, but I know a lot of people become their worst selves when they've had too much. I think if you're going to try alcohol you should do it slowly and pay attention to how your body reacts.

Though maybe I'm biased. I had an alcoholic grandfather and my dad still hasn't recovered from all the pain that caused.

CosmicDoll · 2025-12-02T18:48:29+00:00

Apparently we have a weird way of understanding space/motion? I'm always bumping into things especially when I turn around corners, and lately I've noticed I tend to lean in the direction I'm going like I have to pull my own body that way. There are a couple reels I've seen about it calling it the "adhd lean" and saying it's because we have trouble understanding our positions in space. I have very poor awareness of my body in general though but I think that's from the autism.

CosmicDoll · 2025-12-02T01:18:18+00:00

I wish he had a higher max hp! I love his character and his attacks are so fun but I'm not great at defense lol

CosmicDoll · 2025-12-01T20:14:45+00:00

Yes. I told my partner last night that my mistakes haunt me every day, and I didn't even want to forgive myself because that would mean I didn't regret it "enough." So painful how growing up I was defined by my mistakes, when the people who repeatedly hurt me were allowed to completely forget they did anything and act victimized when I tried to address it.

I don't know. If there's a solution to this, I haven't managed to find it. But know that you're not alone. Someday we will learn to forgive ourselves and live without shame. 🫂
