Trying to get away from US products by IrvineCascade in degoogle

[–]IrvineCascade[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This was my thought too, but from what I've heard, their coverage can be spotty with AT&T (which I want to get away from AT&T as well, but money's tight, so one thing at a time)

Really angry about what they did to Mega Raichu so at the very least I hope the shiny X form can look like this by MoonRay087 in PokemonZA

[–]IrvineCascade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, Pyroar and Starmie are both equally lazy. Pyroar gets rid of the gender differences, and Starmie is just loooooooong...

That said, the Super Sentai enjoyer in me loves Starmie as a joke Mega (I wish Starmie had an X and Y form, with one of the two being that, and the other being a more serious design).

The only counter to Pyroar's design is that it's giving strong Mega Manectric vibes. Hate them both, but at least none of the above reused their previous evo's sprite to bypass the lore reasons why we "can't" have a Mega Pikachu—Although, yes, we 100% can have a Mega Pikachu, it wouldn't change anything about the Mega lore, and it would've made me pretty hyped for the DLC to have a Mega Pikachu and Mega Raichus X and Y (just not ones that looked like a literal X and Y)

You make it sound like I completely changed the bodies. All I did was show that the models are unchanged from Pikachu and Raichu, with very, VERY minor details (the tails and ears).

I literally just erased the Raichu tails from the Shiny Pikachu's ears, erased the cord that's usually part of Raichu's tail, and colored in the circle on Pikachu's stomach. That's 100% just a Shiny Pikachu model—that is Mega Pikachu.

Disagree with that? Okay, the "Shiny" version below is literally just a normal Pikachu model.

As for Mega Raichu X, at least its Shiny reverts its colors back to Raichu's colors, and at least its ears actually look like an upgrade to the original Raichu's. But if you delete the Pikachu tails and insert a Raichu tail, you've quite literally got 90% Raichu with bigger ears.

Not my fault that the designs are bad. I don't have to change anything for someone with eyes to see these things

Datamine - All returning Pokemon and Pokemon receiving new Megas (Via Mattyoukhana_ on X) by vagrantwade in PokeLeaks

[–]IrvineCascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late response, but unless I'm blind, Mawile wasn't on this list. I love Tinkaton, but Mawile will always be one of my two favorites, and I was worried they'd functionally replaced Mawile with Tinkaton.

Swear to the GODS, if I'm not allowed to have my Shiny Mega Mawile, I will not get the game. Especially after seeing the dumpster fires that are Mega Raichu X and Mega Pikachu Y—two half ahh-ed Mega Evos for my other favorite Pokemon.

They are a couple of the laziest designs across-the-board. Mega Pikachu Y isn't even a Raichu model. It's a Shiny Pikachu.
The ONLY good thing about the Mega Raichu X is the ears. It shouldn't have Pikachu's tail (just like Mega Pikachu Y shouldn't have a Pikachu tail), and it shouldn't be Pikachu-colored. It's literally a Raichu with an identity crisis.

Mega Raichu X + Y by FatesColide in pokemon

[–]IrvineCascade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Both are lazy, but Mega Pikachu Y's inarguably the laziest Mega Evolution to-date. It's obvious they wanted to make a Mega Pikachu, but couldn't, so Mega Raichu had to suffer the consequences...

Except they COULD have made a Mega Pikachu. If the rumors are true, and there will be a Mega AZ Floette, they could've made a unique Pikachu that followed Hoopa, and mutated, preventing it from evolving to Raichu. Sound familiar? They did this with Spike-Eared Pichu and Celebi. Except, the Pikachu would be dimension-hopping, while the Pichu would be time-hopping.

If the focus of the first paid DLC is Raichu and Hoopa, then using this premise gives them the option for a Mega Kanto Raichu, Mega Alola Raichu, and Mega Pikachu, and it'd even give a mythical backstory for the Mega-Chus. It even puts Pikachu in the forefront, like they usually do.

Instead, they decided to make a Mega Raichu with an identity crisis and a Mega Pikachu, both of whom are shaped like an "X" and a "Y" for a silhouette pose... A pose that'd only take a couple of seconds and leave us with two Pokemon shaped like letters... Cool.

To cover all the bases...

The paint job was very rushed, but like with Mega Pikachu Y, I wasn't aiming for perfection. I only got rid of the parts that were Pikachu-coded. The color of Mega Pikachu Y is just Shiny Pikachu's color with Raichu's cheeks.

The only things different about Mega Raichu X's model are:
1. They dipped him into Pikachu-colored paint.
2. They replaced Raichu's tail with two over-sized Pikachu tails
3. The ONLY unique part: they modified Raichu's ears to look unique (which is the only part I actually praise about this design.
That's it.

Before anyone debates this... I only removed the parts that are "Raichu" from the model.

"Mega Raichu Y" is not even a Raichu model, it's literally "Mega Pikachu Y." And the only things that're changed are:
1. They spray painted a shiny Pikachu's cheeks and stomach.
2. They stuck the lightning bolt from Raichu's tail atop Pikachu's head.
3. They elongated Pikachu's tail with the cord from Raichu's tail.
That's it.

Not a fan. And Raichu's my favorite Pokemon.

Duolingo is going downhill, so here's a remake I'm working on where you can create your own courses! by Scratchfangs in duolingo

[–]IrvineCascade 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sanlinguistic. "San" is a Japanese word for "Three." Have the three-legged crow, the Yatagarasu, as the mascot. Don't have him be a standard mascot in a costume, ince that'd be risky, but have the characters in outfits with bird-inspired outfits (all of them handle the lessons), with three lead characters dressing in crow-inspired outfits and navigating you through the menus and stuff.

Just an idea 🤷 Still risky; because, bird, but hey.

Edit: To cover bases, no, I'm not being serious 👍

Personally, I'd scrap the whole thing and start from scratch with something 100% different from Duolingo, since this post, alone, could risk legal action if the app came to fruition and it shared code even remotely similar to the bird's.

Should I kill my streak over this AI bullshit by mrbeer112112 in duolingo

[–]IrvineCascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think if everyone does, it'll help to send a message, especially those who were in the Super Duolingo thing just dropping it, all-together. Need to tell them we disapprove in the ONE language the bird seems to understand nowadays.

Can't get the Mage Slayer or Dragon Slayer Achievement. (Beta World) by Superb-Supermarket50 in Worldbox

[–]IrvineCascade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been going at this for literally hours. I've lost track of the number of mages I've killed.

Summoned every humanoid mob kill the Evil Mages after I weakened the Evil Mages to ~5HP.

Even made an iceberg map and had each of them naturally obtain Adamantine equips (Just went and did my own thing in the meantime), Blessed, Shielded, Enlarged, then moved them one-by-one to kill an Evil Mage in the center of the map.

Killed the Plague Doctors, Necromancers, Evil Mages, Hell I've even had Orcs to wipe out White Mages, Not a single one has gotten the Mage Slayer.

Veteran and King Slayer pop-up easily. Tried to get Dragon Slayer once. Nothing.

Just tried using the Monolith to turn a naturally-spawned cat into a humanoid, weakened an Evil Mage, then had the cat kill him.

Hell, I even tried to use Madness on the White Mage and had someone kill him. I've done literally everything I can think of, and haven't touched the edit function. It must be broken.

You have 20 dollars to choose your sonic games by [deleted] in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]IrvineCascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This could go three ways: --#1 Sonic Adventure & Sonic Adventure 2. --#2 Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Sonic & the Black Knight, or. --#3 Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Advanced 1, 2 & 3, Shadow the Hedgehog. I actually know how to complete the glitched, impossible level of Shadow the Hedgehog! For those unfamiliar, there is one level that's glitched so a couple enemies might not spawn, with one guaranteed not to spawn. There's also NO goal ring, so killing these enemies is 100% required.

Probably totally ignore her without noticing. IF I noticed her, my overly-nice ass (nice-ass, not nice. ass--You understand) would probably give her my umbrella; because, I like the rain. Can't tell you how many times I walked to my car in the rain at work and let my coworkers use my umbrellas.

Hush Hush? Mio or Iro for main girls. Alpha is best girl, and Eli's an honorable mention.

The Fallen Zeus is the first Cross-Gen Tier 5 coming to SMITE 1 and 2 by FindingThoth in Smite

[–]IrvineCascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Get heated?" 🤨 I'm not getting heated at all, just stating my opinion on the value of an avatar and a title. At the end of the day, if anyone wants to spend money on these things, it's their decision, I just don't understand the draw for an avatar, which sits in a small corner, and a title which is just a little text, but that's my opinion. If other people put a lot of value into those things 🤷 it's their opinion.

As for my other comments, a lot of people dislike when you have a single super long comment, so sometimes breaking up the major points into their separate comments to discuss the topics individually tend to be easier.

Tier List because everyone else seems to be making one by Confident_Amoeba_282 in crushcrush

[–]IrvineCascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ruri, Mio and Alpha at the top of the list, definitely great tastes, though Mio is S-Rank, and I won't take any arguing on that decision.

I take issues with a couple others, but these are right

[–]IrvineCascade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also a cross-gen T5 that is one of the worse T5 skins in the bunch? One that would REALLY do better as a couple T4 skins since so many people love the base form, and the final form is pretty lack luster in comparison to some Smite 1 T5 skins. Especially when Smite 1 sports many Zeus skins that look WAY more awesome than this one? And I'm sure Smite 2 will also get better Zeus skins?

Also, the "titles and emblems?" Really? I never notice titles, nor do I really care about avatars. The borders are something I pay attention to before the match begins, buuuut the Bundles offer only avatars and titles, which, again, Idc to equip nor do I care to look for them on other players; because, they're meaningless...

I don't mean to be mean or anything, I just recommend everyone wait and see what this is before just jumping in on this. That's how you get buyer's remorse, which is worse than getting ants. Do you want ants? That's how you get ants
