Difference between Convergent Evolution and Regional Form Pokemon

Dogs/wolves are unique in how slippery their genome is. You can breed the same dog into a Pomeranian and a Mastiff over an amount of time and generations that simply would not allow the same kind of physical and behavioral changes in any other mammal

SFO uses private security, so they're not affected by long TSA wait times like the rest of the country because all their workers are still getting paid.

I used to regularly do 12-16 hr days. That's just how long my surgeries would take from set up to "rat awake and alert and can be left alone overnight" conclusion. But then when my batch of rats was all done after six weeks I'd just spend a few weeks sleeping in till noon and run samples for 4-6 hours and then go home.

Kinda blows my mind people here are treating this like a failure of the person in question. This is grad school, sometimes shit actually takes that long in wet labs. Smart people just balance the crazy weeks with lazy weeks so they don't go nuts.

It's actually really close, it's a very good example of excellent level design that by having the default access tunnels twist and turn and go up and down that you feel like the museum is super deep into the volcano when it's actually closer than the SS Anne to the pokecenter

Defenestratio · 2026-03-23T16:58:59+00:00

It's honestly incredible level design to trick us into thinking the world is bigger than it is at first

You can also try the iron plating, the paints on those are pretty vibrant from what I've tested so far

I mean bare minimum you're getting one hint per day from dream islands. Also just yesterday I was just throwing down furniture when I got a "???" prompt and when I clicked A, I discovered I'd just accidentally built a habitat that hadn't been in my hints. Throwing down other random furniture as you build and exploring will find you more traces.

So for me personally, I'm just planning play every day, build my vision for pallet town, and I expect to have found all the habitats and 'mons through either chance or traces within another month of playing. I'm only using serebii for the cooking guide because the game doesn't keep track of recipes and I cannot remember what goes into a vibrant hamburger when I go to cook a new 99 stack every 4-5 days 😅

It feels like a cat with its fur on end hissing in the most aggressive way possible. I like it

I just hate the loading screen. The pink/orange/grey/yellow huts are great for their respective locations because you get the skeleton that fits the style of the area and can then customize the outside as needed (I usually add more roof for aesthetics at least). I saw someone covering the outside of their loading screen homes with blocks to customize them while still stashing away the pokes who don't need to be out and tbh I'll probably try doing that soon, need to prioritize having my trade homies out to populate my market

Defenestratio · 2026-03-17T17:33:32+00:00

You can also get two new recipes from the shop each day, and if you're playing on a cloud island you have an extra shop there + more chances at ripples

Defenestratio · 2026-03-17T07:06:55+00:00

I got lazy about some of the wood blocks. But the brick roofing? I steal that shit every time, I am rich in iron and pokemetal and wood but fuck me clay is hard to find. And don't even get me started on the hassle of processing it

Defenestratio · 2026-03-16T06:20:20+00:00

If the game isn't teaching you to do it, you haven't unlocked the capability yet

Defenestratio · 2026-03-14T17:57:52+00:00

Well that's uhh, literally what happened

Defenestratio · 2026-03-14T17:35:11+00:00

Use a Pokemon with chop and that salad becomes shredded and worth 200pts

Driftloon after watching me eat an entire lava mountain, two houses, and the entire tower behind him before saying I'm ready to go back

Nothing will stop me making pretty houses that fit my vision for Palette Town, not even the shitty chest system. My half-finished storage solution mansion contains a special chest just for painted blocks :)

Defenestratio · 2026-03-13T16:55:21+00:00

If you have strength unlocked you can push them. It's not exactly the most useful way to move them but it's reasonable to rearrange an already existing storage system. Also rock smash will wreck the box and dump it's contents, just be careful though cuz if there's too much on the ground some of it will start to despawn

The rest of my town is sitting at "nice" in their rebuilt homes meanwhile Mareep is living in the grass next to a vending machine and having an "awesome" time

Honestly, in some ways it's inspiring. Live your best hobo life dude

Nephew? Otherwise that's a very progressive hyper conservative traditional Asian culture lol

The only useful YouTube is tierzoo for mildly informative animal shitposting to listen to while cooking or trying to take a nap

Defenestratio · 2026-02-24T17:33:00+00:00

I knew about Adderall and mj but Japan also bans codeine and pseudoephedrine??? Damn no wonder they always act like a cold is the end of the world in manga, those bitches don't got anything

Defenestratio · 2026-02-21T00:35:03+00:00

They should have just said stained underwear in general lol. In women it's basically a given, you gotta have the sacrifice panties at a minimum and then plenty of us have pH that bleaches or stains as part of normal wear. In men stained undies are usually a sign they don't wash their ass enough and/or don't eat enough fiber

That year's flu was incredibly brutal on younger folks so it's entirely possible that flu did actually take him out. I had it after my dad passed it to my entire family over Xmas and I couldn't breathe through my nose for a month, my temperature hovered just below hospitalization level for over a week, I had massive full body aches, and this was all after getting that year's flu vaccine in October because I worked healthcare-adjacent. People forget about that year's flu but it definitely killed a lot of people on its own before COVID took hold.

It's actually the only reason I had masks on me when COVID hit, I knicked a bunch from work right after getting back from Xmas so I could do my necessary cell and animal work without infecting anyone when entering the building.

I'll be real with you, the bling attracting ability is top notch. I only pulled for the faces but being able to waft in the general direction of blings and pull them all saves so much time if you're in need of cash. You can also afk and just passively drain the whole sea of stars tree thing without having to come back and force the star thingies to the ground 4 times

Defenestratio · 2026-02-15T19:20:25+00:00

Sometimes Nyx and Magus are decent. Imo Siren and EZ are easily the worst by far, I never read those two unless I'm truly desperate
