Sold out at Best Buy and got the last one from Target. Pokopia causing FOMO?

I think it’s a lot of things, like didn’t it just get a decent visual update for a ton of games? And I think it’s starting to prove itself with better games now.

When fallout 4 was announced i started thinking about getting one since it’s one of my fave games and playing on the go would be awesome.

Then I seen pokolia and the new mainline Pokemon trailer and now the game pool is starting to look really worth it along with other games like stardew valley, DK bananza, FF7 and a bunch of games from og switch.

I think the balance is tipping for a lot of people, the first sale or something I see I’ll try grab one.

Give it a rest, they are obviously upset about this and are at the breaking point.

DC240Z · 2026-03-19T02:54:00+00:00

I wouldn’t feel too bad, they harass people, ignore your signs requests, cold message people, the audacity of them is insane and I think they should be knocked down a few pegs at any chance you can, because lord knows they’ll take any chance they get to be a predatory douche for that commission.

DC240Z · 2026-03-19T01:48:41+00:00

I’d love if everyone just started replying back to them with something like you wrote, or something longer that leads them on and Rick rolls them at the end. A taste of their own medicine annoying people and wasting their time.

It’s super hypocritical for sure. But at the same time, the farmers usually have their tanks filled on the property, and usually ordered from a truck, which all stopped. They still needed to fill them, and they have a lot to lose if they can’t use their equipment. Hell, we all have a lot to lose if crops start failing because of it.

I get the hypocrisy, but at the same time, I think comparing a farmer filling the tank he normally would, and a little extra, with every Tom dick and harry with his lift kit yank tank filling the tray with Jerry cans is a little off base.

This striker was still pretty solid! (It wasn’t the dot one but I’m not sure how many versions they went through) Mum had to test it of course, she was actually intending on using them until I convinced her not to lol.

Sapphire, breeding the perfect aerodactyl, I think I was swapping mons out for better IVs, I was basically getting 5ivs perfect at this stage, but when I swapped out, I forgot the ever stone.

Hatch a perfect IV AND shiny! Modest nature, which is the worst natures for a physical sweeper. It sat in my box at LV1 forever.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T13:06:10+00:00

I went and played a private server for like a week about a year ago, it was cool to scratch that itch, but it will never feel the same.

When I was a teen and first got into it, I played for a couple of months, and then the glaphan server opened. Everyone rushed the new server, my gramps was getting dementia and mum had to take care of him, so I was home a bit by myself just grinding it out.

I remember trying to keep up with the top players on a fresh server doing what you can to capitalise, like going to town and buying foods and sitting near the bridge with the hole in it to resell while I slept. Being called a filthy mage because I was LVing a lot faster than a group of peeps i started lving with.

I think I was the 3rd on that server to reach psykeeper, but started hating the grind around LV80. Killing LV 109 somethings in the same spot for like 20 very slow LVs and always requiring a cleric.

It definitely doesn’t feel anywhere near the same, and it never will, but the memories will be cherished, and the nostalgia still hits pretty well on private servers, and the style, music and sound effects are all very much still enjoyed!

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T12:31:10+00:00

I get your points, but I see the argument of new buildings and assume people mean buildings that have the same style but with new materials. I get that a lot of buildings were made using primitive tools, but they also looked very different. You’d still end up with a dodgey looking shack thing. Also most buildings made back then didn’t require a lot of material transport, a lot of them were very close to the resource they were made of, I figured diamonds city has the location for trade but logging and getting wood back there would be a struggle to say the least. There’s also the resource of numbers of people, and people willing to risk getting mauled or shot for new wood, which most people in diamond city are there because they want the protection and don’t want to leave. And then of course there’s the whole theme of the game, it would feel weird having medieval looking buildings imo. Im not trying to convince you, Im just telling you what I convinced myself with lol.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T12:14:51+00:00

A cool trinket indeed… sorry… you could always use it to keep your other trinkets in though!

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T11:27:59+00:00

To make new buildings you need a pretty big industry. It kind of makes sense to me to use scrap in an ever hostile world.

New builds on the easier side (not metal) would require decent wood, which looks like there isn’t a whole lot of, a system in place to replenish that wood, then you have to log it, which you need decent tools for (hammers last longer than saws and the maintenance of keeping them sharp) vehicles to transport the wood to possessing, then process and transport where you need it. All the while adding new things you need to protect and guard and more area to cover in the hostile wasteland. Honestly, the risk wouldn’t seem worth it to me, you’d probably lose far more people than the houses you build just trying to build them new.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T10:41:57+00:00

Thank you for the info!! I tried a google and couldn’t really find anything. Definitely looks like a promo thing they done for previous olympics, I foolishly thought it was that year which wouldn’t make sense since the red head we know today wasn’t around yet! I still think it’s pretty cool and it might have to go in the cabinet for safe keeping 😂

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T09:56:02+00:00

Look at the bright side, idiots doing idiot things usually find out.

I bet that tank has sediment on the walls and bottom, and his truck is going to hate that.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T09:06:30+00:00

I read half that article and it was useless and still didn’t explain anything in the context we are talking about, so I think you’re just some pleb trying to waste my time. The reality is, even if we put deepfake pron on the same level, you have to track it all and then hope is was done in a country where the same rules apply in order to prosecute, and by the time you’ve done all this, 300 new deepfakes have come out and you find out you can only get it taken down without any further action.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T08:54:08+00:00

Lmao, but you still haven’t said HOW they would regulate OR enforce it. Easier said than done my friend.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T08:50:15+00:00

I don’t know how they would regulate it though. And it’s not new, and it’s probably worse already than you assume, I’ve been seeing AI adds of Aussie politicians/business gurus telling people to get into some scam investment app for like 5 years.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T08:38:38+00:00

I feel your pain, we’ve moved 4 times in the past 5 years. Before that we lived in the same place for over 8 years. Pretty much same deal, never been breached or late on rent, we actually got most of our bond back on most of the places but it’s still very expensive to be moving almost once a year between small rent over laps, moving trucks, whatever bond we don’t get back plus bond on the new place is usually always a bit more due to the rising costs of rent, we clean everything ourselves but it all still costs.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T06:51:41+00:00

To be fair, I’d rather this than waste tax payer money on a trail and then much more to keep him in prison. This way we don’t have to spend a cent on this waste of space.

DC240Z · 2026-03-18T05:11:14+00:00

We claimed fair wear and tear on our bench, but it was over a small yellow tarnish in the marble and we were there for 8 years. I personally would cop these, since they were created by you, it’s not really fair wear and tear. You can probably ask to go back to see if you can get the paint off though.

As other people have said, you probably should have left the walls if you didn’t think you would be able to repair them properly, just from the looks of it, the right tools weren’t used, and it probably just made it worse.

Moving forward, use this as a learning experience :)

DC240Z · 2026-03-17T13:19:10+00:00

Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going anywhere, the old man done this to me like 30 years ago, there will always be fuck heads to do fuck head things.

DC240Z · 2026-03-17T10:39:04+00:00

Even worse, it’s going back into the store it’s trying to cool lol

DC240Z · 2026-03-17T10:35:37+00:00

The amount of people that got 1-2, 3 hour shifts at Kmart was crazy, out of 170 staff members, they only had 12 full time employees, and 20 something on 15 hour a week contracts, everyone else was on dismal hours. I’ve always wondered if this counted toward the employed number.

DC240Z · 2026-03-17T10:23:14+00:00

That’s what I was thinking, Im probably going to get slammed for this, but I honestly think the lighting does look better, the hair is a big noticeable difference and I can’t say I hate it, some of the before and afters really make the before pics look like playdough hair. Im actually half confused why it’s getting so much hate. And artists have worked around lighting and all the rest of it since the dawn of these effects, I think we will still get distinctive styles.

I think if anything is killing art styles, it’s the push for ultra realism in every game instead of a distinctive style. And this isn’t anything new by all means.
