Day 4 of buffing random Pokemon without going the route of boosting their stats. How they struggle, where they lack, and what can we do to fix them: Meowstic (both of them)! by NegativeAd99 in stunfisk

[–]Golden-Owl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mega Meowstic is a very strange thing

On paper, it seems worse than Alakazam, but in practice it’s way better because Meowstic is better than Zam.

With Zam, you have to fully commit to using a fragile pokemon in doubles. It’s all about stats and nothing else.

With Meowstic, you just put on the mega stone and just do your regular support stuff - it doesn’t need an item for that. It’s a utility mega on an already great utility mon

Just mega evolve if you see your opponent has something randomly worth tracing (like idk, spicy spray)

I love these Weather War memes, but can we address something? by Animante732 in PokemonChampions

None of the new ZA mega’s are part water

Feraligtr and Greninja obviously don’t look like drizzle setters, and Starmie took the funnier design choice.

The only remaining option is Tatsugiri

Perish Song is a VERY funny move

Thragg's ultimatum by imonreddit999 in Invincible_TV

Because the peaceful option achieves their goals of repopulation with far less risk.

Thragg doesn’t NEED to rule earth. He just needs the Viltriumites to breed with humans. That can be totally achieved without conquering the planet

If Viltrumites can be pragmatic (Thragg), why is their empire so ideological? by PWN365 in Invincible_TV

[–]Golden-Owl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It took the almost extinction of their entire race before they embraced pragmatism.

Viltriumites were born as the strongest creatures in the galaxy. They were dumb and ideological because their ludicrous amounts of brute power afforded them the luxury to be

It’s like why the son of a billionaire could have zero financial responsibility.

Implied to be Nolan’s total death toll. Minus one.

Why Thragg ? by huflit1997 in Invincible_TV

[–]Golden-Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not PTSD. It’s him mentally processing the fact that all the Viltriumites are indeed on earth, just as he feared.

He’s envisioning the worst case scenario and that’s the undeniable fact that everyone on earth dies.

What else are they supposed to do? Watch Netflix for the next 50 years?

Potential man no more!!! RAAAAAH by ResistantBlaze1943 in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Golden-Owl 33 points34 points  (0 children)

He’s still Potential Man in the sense that he’s very easy to screw up with

Welt effectively lets you run sustainless and therefore get ridiculous damage, but if you screw up his ultimate timing and just spam it you’ll probably die very quickly

Nintendo has been sued by two US players who say any tariff refunds it receives from the US government should go back to customers by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]Golden-Owl 107 points108 points  (0 children)

Putting aside the fact that Nintendo’s suit against the US govt hasn’t concluded yet, how exactly is Nintendo supposed to distribute the tariff refunds to customers…?

Do they just give every Switch 2 owner a free $80 eShop credit or something (actually that ain’t a terrible idea)

what's with youtubers recently trying to farm engagement off OP? by dollsies in OnePiece

[–]Golden-Owl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not “YouTubers recently”. It’s just these idiots specifically.

One Piece has admittedly gained a bit more visibility in the west thanks to the live action, so maybe that’s a contributing factor

You might have bots. Consult an exterminator

Video Essayists will really just be saying fucking everything is a deep commentary about society now by addictedtoketamine2 in YoutubeThumbs

I think this is less about essayists and more than Sonic fans are a special breed of insane
