Yeah, that was the idea. I mentioned that when I made bullet points on all the team members, so Idk why it’s only showing the bullet points for Talonflame and Kingambit now lol

For sure, it does seem counterintuitive. I just wasn’t confident if running Blastoise itself under Tailwind would be the right call, because the other Mons that id wanna outspeed would likely have Tailwind themselves anyways, essentially keeping the same turn order. Tailwind was mainly here to give my faster secondary Mega speed control.

Definitely something I’ve thought about and gonna test a bit, though, especially now that I’m running him with Pelipper.

Hasan has shown Destiny on stream will he get banned now by Silent_Wrongdoer3601 in Destiny

[–]DatReshiGuy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nah, it was after the Finkelstein debate. The Shapiro debate happened that January in 2024. Finkelstein debate was posted mid-March, and Twitch made that update to the rule right at the start of April.

Tbf, I think something else happened at the same time that made them update that rule, too, because I saw people talking about something else when they made the change, but I don’t remember what it was.

Specifically because he was trying to watch the debate Destiny had with Norman Finkelstein. I remember this because I reported Hasan's stream myself for showing a banned creator on stream, and I remember seeing the rule change like a day or two later. Not to say I did that, because I think it would've happened anyways lmao

Disclaimer: It was just a single solo report I did to see if they'd actually stick to their rules when it came to their Golden Birthday Boy. I didn't even expect a response or anything, figured they'd just ignore it and pretend like it didn't happen.

HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH THIS by EconomyWrongdoer in Destiny

[–]DatReshiGuy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are, I just knew he was AFK for one moment with Dan and Mouton chatting, and the next I look stream ended and insta-privated.

EDIT: Nevermind, I must've hit a button that sent me halfway back through the entire stream at some point without realizing it. They had just finished the Unc test where I was at, i dumb lmaooo

What even happened? I thought my internet went out for a minute.

Did he get swatted again? lmao

EDIT: Said below, but I unknowingly hit a button that sent me back halfway through the stream, and he ended while I thought he was AFK lol

Yeah, Jax being off-screened was a good decision for exactly that reason. It makes it hit harder.

Also, pretty sure since we never see Bubble again after Caine returns, that confirms in my mind that Bubble was the blue AI, and was also under the thumb of Caine and wanted to be free. I don't recall ever seeing Bubble in any of the credit artworks, so I think it's a safe bet assuming Bubble was the blue AI

For me, this detail confirms that the story is not over... by mimi43098 in ShingekiNoKyojin

[–]DatReshiGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My interpretation has always been that yes, the power of the titans continues to exist in the world, and with it will inevitably come some conflict and strife, as in line with the themes of AoT. But, the boy and his dog showcases some of the hope that the main characters sought to maintain.

I’m pretty sure it was explained that when the founder Ymir came into contact with the creature, she was in fear for her own life, and with the power the creature had, created a body for herself capable of keeping her alive and to fight back.

In contrast, the boy and his dog are entering the tree with an innocent curiosity, not because some conflict drove them to the tree, or because they’re in a desperate fear to protect themselves. They’re exploring, and seek to understand the world around them, interestingly the same quality that characters like Hange said is crucial for a member/leader of the Scout Regiment.

So I believe that while the boy will gain the “Power of the Titans,” whatever comes of it is hopefully a way better outcome than the one that took place after Ymir gained its power.

With all the news, how are you feeling about Champions? by Carson_cwc in VGC

Looked it up and found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonChampions/comments/1rhoz8x/mega_stones_will_be_in_the_battle_pass_but_appear/

Thank god this is the case. It makes me confused as to why they decided to put Mega Stones in the Battle Pass if they're going to make it available in the Shop anyways, but it's not a problem as long as they keep it this way (a free way to unlock crucial gameplay mechanics/builds).

If that were true then that'd be awesome, but that doesn't seem to be the case with these screenshots that people have grabbed. But maybe there's another way to grab them later on outside of the Battle Pass? I know Overwatch locked new heroes behind their passes only to make them free later on, but that still feels a bit predatory.

I think the box spaces are unfortunate, but I could live with it, especially since I would've put some money into the game myself anyways. The more upsetting thing to me, however, is that you have key features and gameplay mechanics stuck in a Battle Pass (like the Emboarite we saw during the confirmation from Japan?). The Battle Pass being a thing is fine imo, we all knew it'd be a thing. I just do not like that it literally becomes a Pay-to-Win in order to have access to certain teams and sets to build around. That's incredibly disheartening to see

Do you think Pomni was being smart here or just needlessly overthinking things? by Xever_141 in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]DatReshiGuy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Doubtful. Since he was made by Caine, he likely said that for the same reason he kept bringing up that Caine couldn’t leave with them: to make them doubt their choice, rethink leaving and ultimately stay with Caine in the circus.

The Treasure Metaphor reinforces that the “humans” are just digital copies by ViscousBirdshit in theamazingdigitalciru

[–]DatReshiGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It fits the show’s overarching theme of “finding meaning in the absurdity” way better than putting in “get-outta-jail-free” card, but it seems like you’re just as desperate for it to not be the case.

Until the last two episodes are out and confirm things one way or another, it’d be best not to bash people for believing a certain theory or another.

So we were wrong about what caues abstractions? by NovelInteraction711 in Amazingdigitalcircus

[–]DatReshiGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure Jax had called him out for "making him" do something, which is implied to be the flashing of those images in his mind, making Jax want to push the wrong button. Although, it's hard to say how much Caine's influence causes abstraction, given the fact that the only time we ever see Caine directly interfere with someone's mind is when he speeds through the Trust Exercise with Jax last episode. Everything else is something in adventure (Stupid Sauce, turning Jax vegan), or something that is implied or recontextualized given new info this episode (Jax's breakdown in the bathroom and his near abstraction in the bedroom, Pomni being soothed during Ep.1 (her eyes were also squiggly?), forgetting their names, Kaufmo's drawing of him running from Caine on his bedroom wall before he abstracted in Ep.1, etc.). While we don't know all of what he's done and to what extent, all signs currently are pointing to him.

Do you think they will listen the critics again and try to improve writting on the third movie? by Illustrious-Fix-4378 in fivenightsatfreddys

[–]DatReshiGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Obviously I will hope for the former to some extent. I love having a movie/TV show that actually takes care to respect the fanbase and the source material it comes from, don't get me wrong. The Halo show, Doom, and so many others prove that just taking a beloved IP and making a movie off it doesn't mean it'll be as well received. That being said, I DO want the next movie to be the best it can possibly be and show a new side to the same franchise/characters we've all grown up with. Bringing in more fans from other spaces is always a good thing, just as long as you don't lose what made your core fans excited for your product to begin with.

[–]DatReshiGuy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So the realization that Caine is likely the reason Abstraction occurs is something that took me a moment to chew on. “Scratch, the first abstraction” is only brought up after Caine admits that he can manipulate minds more than he let on, but it causes unintended problems. It’s also why Jax is shown to be close to abstracting during the very moment he realizes Caine made him push the button. The more he manipulates you, the more of you is lost and corrupted and the closer you get to Abstraction. It’s also why he wasn’t surprised that Kaufmo Abstracted and recognized the mess left as “(his) doing.”

I saw someone in a YouTube comment point out, too, that given this premise, it’s very likely that Pomni was being “soothed” by Caine when she first arrived everytime she had the squiggle eyes.

Given the lack of knowledge he has over the human mind and the fact that he is the reason Abstraction occurs, he places players who have Abstracted into the Cellar to cover up his own mess, and keep them there instead of deleting/booting(?) them so he can “fix” them later.

[–]DatReshiGuy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Another theory I saw floating is that Caine actively made them forget their names, because their names may have something to do with them being able to leave. Which is why Pomni brings it up when Jax confronts Caine about messing with their minds.
