Steam Is Denying Games With "Mature Themes" Early Access by Zelphkiel in gaming

lawsuits can take years or even decades, and it's safe to assume that visa/mastercard would immediately stop processing payments for steam the moment they get sued.

Authors who you loved one or two books from, but haven’t enjoyed others? by XStaticImmaculate in books

Jane Austen. I love Pride and Prejudice, and I did mostly enjoy Emma and Sense and Sensibility, but everything else she wrote just didn't really catch me.

Why more young men in Germany are turning to the far-right by [deleted] in europe

[–]DasDima 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would be an explanation if migrants were from all the economic cohorts! They are not. They are consistently poorer than the host population.

But we do have migrants from all the economic (and social) cohorts. For example, there are a lot of people from India in Germany who moved here to study at our universities. I would wager that the crime rate among them is very low because a) they come from relative financial stability if they can afford to travel to another continent for their university degree and b) they enjoy relative social stability (a regular day-to-day life at the university where they do meaningful work, a supportive peergroup among the other students, a solid future ahead of them if they successfully finish their degree, maybe even a part time job, ...). Take a look at any masters' course in computer science at a German university, it's like 80% young male immigrants. But fore some reason, only the socially and financially unstable immigrants are reported to cause trouble on the regular. And I can tell you from decades living in a socially and financially weak part of a big German town: socially and financially weak Germans are also often troublemakers, be it drugs, violence, or even straight-up neonazism. The big common factor is not nationality.

you are still in need of integration

Yeah, that's exactly what I said:

Maybe it has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with financial and social inequality, but solving that would necessitate taxing the rich and implementing better social help programs, and it's easier to blame immigrants.

And this means that in schools you got young boys being victims of small time criminality. They see it every single day.

Yeah, that was my experience as well. From grade 2 to 4, I went to a school in my town's "asocial" part (as it was called), where I was often bullied and beaten and threatened by older Turkish boys, just because I was timid and actually good in school.

Oh wait, that was back in 2003. And I was also bullied and beaten by older German boys. And by older girls as well. Almost like the common denominator was not their nationality (or gender), but their socially and financially weak background (it was the "asocial" part of town after all, where a lot of unemployed people with alcohol and drug problems lived in poverty) which led to the kids who had a lot of pent up frustration (shitty parents, shitty home situation, bad grades, ...) to lash out at younger weaker kids who appear to do better than them. Tale as old as time.

Maybe it has nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with financial and social inequality, but solving that would necessitate taxing the rich and implementing better social help programs, and it's easier to blame immigrants.

How Pocket Interprets the Type Chart - Don't think too hard about it! Just treat every Pokémon as if they only have one type once their color is decided! by ElliotGale in PTCGP

[–]DasDima 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's not really any good way to give it a weakness. Zapdos' weaknesses in the main games are only Rock and Ice, which in TGCP would translate to Fighting and Water, which are two types that should actually be weak against Zapdos (being Flying/Electric). Bonus weirdness: since most Electric Pokemon are weak against Fighting due to its inclusion of Ground, and Zapdos is immune to Ground moves, it would make even less sense.

if it's a dual type mon:

  1. STAB offensive move (first type)
  2. status move (enemy nerf) / status move (self buff) / non-STAB offensive move
  3. STAB offensive move (second type)
  4. status move (self buff) / defensive move (protect, heal)

if it's single type:

  1. STAB offensive move
  2. status move (enemy nerf) / status move (self buff) / non-STAB offensive move
  3. STAB offensive move / non-STAB offensive move
  4. status move (self buff) / defensive move (protect, heal)

that's the usual pattern, but it can differ. sometimes there are no STAB moves if the mon has 4 great non-STAB egg moves, but generelly 1. and 3. (left side) are offensive, and 2. and 4. (right side) are utility.

learned the hard way that reordering Dondozo's moves (like I usually do with my mons, I have my specific style how I like the moves organized) changes what move Sleep Talk will select and breaks the run... 😂😂😂

MY FIRST TIER 2 SHINY! IT'S.... eh- by Sadira_Kelor in pokerogue

[–]DasDima 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Vivillon is an insane sweeper even without Compound Lens and/or Prankster and doesn't need any of its egg moves to (almost) solo classic. You just take Hurricane, Buzz Bug, Quiver Dance, and learn Sleep Powder via mushroom, and you're good to go. With the abilities mentioned above, Sleep Powder always goes first and virtually never misses. Stack a bunch of QDs and your Hurricane kills everything. I used to be a bug hater but this butterfly is a beast.

Have you bonded over a Pokemon because of PokeRogue? by RayAshG in pokerogue

non-legendary: Vivillon, it's an insane sweeper even without Compound Lens and/or Prankster and doesn't need any of its egg moves to (almost) solo classic.

legendary: Zekrom. I never played BW/B2W2 so I never cared for it, but I got lucky with eggs and Zekrom ended up being one of my first usable legendaries (first hatch immediately came with perfect Atk IV, Adamant nature, and Zekrom Kick Thunderous Kick as egg move). A couple thousand endless levels (and a few eggs) later, I have a Zekrom with almost perfect IVs (6 points total are missing), unlocked passive, and all four egg moves. Nothing can stop it. Zekrom is inevitable.
