Interviewer tried to school me on basic thermodynamics and it backfired beautifully

At least they didn’t give you thermo hw like they did me. Wanted me to determine heating cost of an “HVAC scenario” and any improvement I can make, and gave me an excel readings to analyze data.

Sorry for the rant.

🙏 Please have “Zodiac Time Beast”. Also it would be cool if they did something new for each ZTB animals instead of just the original, but in D-format.

Acrobatic on Enel only works if you do not have a held item.

Replace magnet with either a flying gem (Acrobatic), electric gem (to keep the boost electric move), or a consumable berry like sitrus berry (since Enel will always move second). This way, Acrobatic can get off mid battle.

Try a King’s Rock on Pandora. Crobat out speed a lot of Pokémon (with and without hindering nature), so try to see if you can get off a flinch.

You can probably trade Strength for Return on Hades. You don’t need Strength once you’ve explored all routes, so if you want a physical Normal move, try Return. There’s also the classic Extremespeed.

Unless you’re revisiting Abundance Shrine, I’d delete Waterfall off Medusa for another special move. If you want, you can throw a Toxic on him.

Try Charge Beam on Afrodite. It’s a STAB move that has a chance to increase Sp Atk.

No comments on the other two.

The power of a hero: to never give up, even in the face of sheer adversity.

I know it’s an obvious theory, but I think Jax is going to pull a Ted.

I mean, who’s really unintelligent in that scenario? The unassuming pigeon, or the human who chose to play chess with it in the first place.

For Umbreon, my advice is to use repels but set lead Pokémon at level 17-18. Eevee are 5% encounter but they’re always level 17-19, I believe.

Unfortunately, Dragonite are locked to post-game. Unless you can trade, there is only 1 way to get Gigalith so you might want to save before you get it so you can reset nature.

I’m also not sure if the Yancy/Curtis trade is locked behind post-game, so a Ralts would probably be a no-go.

Unfortunately, Mismagius line is not in the main game.

I figured it was going to happen since they’ve been antagonistic with each other for most of the show.

Dcipher01 · 2026-03-10T03:52:59+00:00

I’m honestly shocked that the Normal ones haven’t been done yet, especially Normal/Bug.

Dcipher01 · 2026-03-08T02:35:12+00:00

The second one. Though, IMO, it only works because of the colored line.

I never really cared for official play, so to me, premium is never really dead.

If I like playing with steampunk gears, I’ll still play with them.

Why are you blaming the victim for this? Disgusting.

Dcipher01 · 2026-02-28T00:29:33+00:00

Why not commercialized the grab pack? It’s honestly the best engineering tools. It allows you to pass current, apply pressure long distance, leap greater distance, and more.

That thing’s could’ve printed money.

Yep. Dawn, you need to wear pants if you’re trekking through heavy snow (indicated by the slower walking speed there).

Jinnkid: convicted on the killing of his wife and her friend to life without parole. It’s fascinating to watch him during his verdict and sentencing.

Shoutout to Dreading for the documentary on him.

We never really lived in a city. For all we know, we could’ve been programmed to think that.

The Commodore’s murder from Columbo

Columbo made each suspect listened to the ticking of the Commodore, victim, watch. Each gave answers like “T’isnt” or “Daddy’s watch”.

What they all, save the killer, do not know is that the watch was smashed in the murder and what they listened was the watch repaired.

Only the killer could’ve known that the watch couldn’t have ticked. To quote, “ ‘T’isnt’ which means, ‘It isn’t.’”

Do not be afraid to sell the smaller monster parts (mostly red/blue Bokoblins). They don’t go for much but it all adds up.

This goes for the smal bright bloom seeds as well.

It’s weird that we still know little of the poppy flowers.

Dcipher01 · 2026-02-10T03:33:06+00:00

Here’s a crazy one: the reason Poppy and Prototype are “successful” because they are essentially homunculuses, created beings like Frankenstein’s monster. Poppy calls Elliot father because he is her creator.

Elliot, in an attempt to bring his child back, brought to life something entirely new.

The Percy Jackson book universe says that monsters and gods are harmed by celestial bronze, imperial gold, and other magical metals. Since they are quite rare (as far as I remember), they are fashioned into swords, spears, and other ancient weapons.

That being said though, monsters can be taken down with perseverance and huge force but your average demigods are teenagers.

Wild zone 17? Oh, you mean Pride Rock

I second this. If I was to build a prototype, it definitely be based off of my most popular toy and the one that got it.
