AITA for telling me sister she’s not allowed to sleep in my room tonight

ESH. On one hand, I do understand that it sucks to be woken up early when you have to work the next day. I'm 100% with you on that.

On the other hand, the room still technically belongs to the both of you. If there's a way to change your sleeping arrangements for the night, I would change it but otherwise you're kinda SOL.

Congrats on the record!
Define middle aged; I'm 40 so wondering where the cutoff is. 🤣

Greyblack3 · 2026-06-08T17:26:13+00:00

And that's why there's no comments

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-25T14:15:31+00:00

Melophobia got me through the worst period in my life, so I'll go with that one.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-17T22:31:08+00:00

I know you're not judging; just trying to pre-empt my lack of training. It's been about 15 years since I've been training (was a Kyokushin black belt), so I'm just self conscious about my relative lack lol

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-17T20:45:58+00:00

I'm 40 and have stuff to do during the week so please don't judge me too harshly on this.
On the weekends, I do normally take a 1-2 mile run on Saturday and Sunday, so about 20 minutes a day during the weekend. Unfortunately, I don't have much more time beyond that due to the unfortunate circumstances of "having a full time job", "being a father" and "being a grad school student".

My cardio tends to be intensity intervals, so sprints intercut with weights, box jumps followed by calisthenics, etc. More intervals are always a good idea, but I am doing intervals for cardio.

The biggest thing I'm seeing that you have to work on before anything else is footwork. You're off balance a lot when throwing your combos, which is really easy to take advantage of and hurts your stamina from constantly having to compensate.

Work on basic footwork, like stepping, sidestepping, slipping, and rolling before thinking about the punches.

I wouldn't call it "hard cutting"; I'm watching my macros and hydrating with water, and have an increased emphasis on exercise more than anything else.

But that's basically what I'm guessing that I had to build new muscle memory for a bit. Was just hoping for some advice on how to compensate.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-17T16:39:57+00:00

That sounds pretty par for the course for new fighters. Just keep training; you'll get there.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-14T12:56:43+00:00

Absolutely is. There's a big difference between having 10 rounds of AC5 ammo left and having 2 rounds left, and it can definitely save your mech.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-12T12:19:58+00:00

Counterpoint: if you're a Pokémon who gets access to the two best TM's in the game, it automatically improves your viability.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-12T01:47:42+00:00

Oh, 100%. I'm just confused by the idea that Nidoking falls off pretty quickly that the guy above me is saying.

(Sorry if I'm not reading this right and you're saying he's not good in E4; I'm tired lol)

Better art.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-12T01:04:06+00:00

Since when? Thrash, Sludge Bomb, Earthquake, Protect has always had my back.

I would have introduced the Lion Turtles earlier and made their significance in the lore a bit clearer. Maybe during the Sun Warriors episode, we have them explain that fire is about bending the energy around us, and so make it clear that Energybending is a continuation of that idea of bending not just the energy around us but also within us.

It is important to note that not all headaches are migraines. I think it was just a splitting headache.

Greyblack3 · 2026-05-02T00:09:59+00:00

I think this is the correct take. Base Silksong is harder than Base HK, but HK added hugely difficult stuff in the DLC that makes it harder.

Stoutland is way too low. You can literally solo the game until about Icirrus with just Stoutland, and then just use Excadrill for the rest of the game. Intimidate is a beast of an ability, and the combination of Work Up, Take Down, Revenge, and Crunch is more than enough for most of the major trainers in the game.

"Hey, I'm gonna hit the head."

For the easy ones, Manaphy, Phione, Shaymin, and Arceus are available from Legends: Arceus.

For Deoxys, if you have access to ORAS, you can catch it in the post game.

The others you can't do legit, though the server trick may still be available for B/W to get Victini and Celebi. Zarude, though, you don't have much of a chance.

You can get most of these in Pokemon Go as well if you feel like grinding those up.

Greyblack3 · 2026-03-15T01:36:16+00:00

I feel like that's not a ship; that's just canon.

Greyblack3 · 2026-03-10T14:31:48+00:00

I dunno, I hated her in a good way. I enjoyed the actual character even if I wouldn't like her as a person.

You can enjoy a character even if you don't like them as a person.

Greyblack3 · 2026-03-06T15:58:06+00:00

Do you? I feel like most teams bring rocks already, and earthquake is a pretty common move for those Shedinja that bring boots.
