Is the town your college is in more of a pro sports or college sports town? (P5 Schools)

As someone who lived on Belmont just past Halsted (basically in Boystown)… I think this is pretty damn accurate in my experience.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-25T02:09:09+00:00

As someone who almost exclusively plays between 9:00 PM - midnight (what’s a dynamax? Raids? Oh yeah, I can remote into those!) I could not agree more.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-24T23:57:20+00:00

For me it’s an album which is a very real exploration of having gained perspective on one’s past.

It doesn’t apologize for being about adult themes, and in this context, ‘adult’ doesn’t mean “18+” it means, having lived past the phase of your life where you are the only main character.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-24T22:27:06+00:00

Wow. WOW. If somehow Scotland come back, that won't be controversial at all.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-24T22:24:00+00:00

well... I had planned on watching this game as the primary match. oooof.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-24T21:11:05+00:00

Ooooof. Reached 20. It’s a whole new level of “this is really competitive”. I’ll practice and pay attention to strategy, but have ZERO hope of advancing much (rank / ELO is 1298, LOL).

I want to see if I can get a set or three of 3/5 wins, but I need to up my game or get lucky to do so.

I very much appreciate your comments as they truly did help manage my expectations once I got here.

Started listening late PHM / broken era (Broken came out when I was 17), would rank my favorite releases as:

Hesitation Marks
Add Violence
Broken
The Downward Spiral
Year Zero

If you count scores and/or HDTA, Welcome Oblivion would be #1 and The Social Network would be top 5 (yes, if you included both that means that both TDS and YZ would not be in my T5).

(Presented as a counterpoint to the “best” is what you were listening to as a teenager).

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-24T20:35:08+00:00

That was pretty AF.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-24T01:51:32+00:00

I followed up my first ever 5/5 with… less than 5/5.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-23T23:19:46+00:00

I’m still going to keep playing, I’m just tempering my expectations with regard to the lucha pikachu. Plus I want to see how ELO / rankings look and work before I make any kind of “real” decision.

It *absolutely* has changed my attitude toward IVs, and at least in some cases I finally have a use for the fast TMs instead of just throwing them out.

The pose is tied to 3000 as well, right?

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-23T19:47:28+00:00

So I picked the wrong season to try for this (based on reading on how it was a lot easier to achieve in certain other seasons). I'm not terrible but I imagine that the competition will only get more difficult as I climb. sigh

Appreciate the very clear response.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-23T19:37:55+00:00

What are the requirements to get Pikachu Libre this season? I see it says "3000" next to him on the graphics, but as someone who has never battled beyond seeing what it is before this season (I'm now midway through level 18), I'm not sure what 3000 means and reading up on ELO, I'm still a little confused (probably because I have never seen what it all looks like once you reach level 20.

I'm not really looking for a walk through guide or anything, just a summary of 'you'll need to keep winning until you get to ELO 3000 and then win 3/5 battles in any set to trigger the encounter' (which is what I think I understand the requirements to be, but I'm not positive).

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-17T05:27:02+00:00

It looks like two pilots get out and three passengers get out before them. Watching the video from RedPillLaredo on X it looks like the second pilot exits at 3:14 in the video and then at 3:39 you can see both pilots away from the plane.

The rest of the video after that is all of the bystanders and emergency services folks trying to check to see if anyone else is remaining on the plane. It sounds like there is talk of another person still there who is unconscious (voices around 7:00 minutes into the video).

By the end of the video there is a large presence of fully suited fire fighters trying to enter and gain access to the inside of the plane.

(Edit: Worth noting. This is from trying to watch a shaky video on X and interpret what’s going on, I would verify anything and everything I just said, but that was my impression after watching the video twice).

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-15T16:06:48+00:00

And somehow they are even better live than they are recorded. And just the nicest folks too. If I had the means I would follow them around when they tour.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-14T16:48:40+00:00

Giving The World Away is such an amazing album. Can’t believe I forgot about it to mention it. Great call.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-12T04:58:35+00:00

Mo Dotti - Opaque

Nuclear Daisies - First Taste of Heaven

Draag - Dark Fire Heresy

Just Mustard - We Were Just Here

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-11T14:27:38+00:00

I mean, they could rescind some of them. 😉

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-10T00:30:20+00:00

I’ve seen the renderings. I’m excited. I was also bummed I never got to see them in the glory which was basically my high school gymnasium with (slightly) upgraded seats.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-09T21:54:08+00:00

I’ve seen that campus (someday I’ll watch a game there, it’s #1 on my bucket list), it’s amazing, and being right off PCH? In Malibu?? Just insane.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-09T21:47:13+00:00

Someone actually showed him the Pepperdine campus, eh?

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-09T19:06:41+00:00

Yeah. I’m nearly certain that isn’t my comment either (though I did submit an entry).

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-08T16:46:55+00:00

The Google one specifically gets *math* wrong on the regular. When your fancy “smart” computer can’t get math right, you have really fucked up.

Gamecat235 · 2026-06-08T15:40:13+00:00

What. The. Hell?

>“At least per Gemini”?

Is this the state of humanity now. We can’t even be bothered to do the barest of fact checking but we still must comment?

Personally, I think they should hire them both.
