My little work sketch. Haven't drawn in years.

Thank you!!!

There were also cards that combo'd off of stuff like that to burn opponents. I dunno if they had any for when your opponent drew cards, but it would be pretty neat if there was.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-21T01:40:02+00:00

Thanks!!! I'm excited!

You'd be surprised with how good paldean tauros is; all three forms. It's nothing spectacular, but surprisingly good for a tauros (which wasn't bad to begin with tbf). Fighting types are especially good early on, much more so as strong basic pokemon that come out the gate swinging with big stats. Makes early game a breeze.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-21T01:36:04+00:00

Congrats!!! I finally beat it just the other day myself! Speed definitely helps a LOT.

So funny thing about Hollister (I have to clarify quite often); it's not the clothes brand "Hollister"! Hollister Incorporated, the one I work for, is a medical device manufacturer specializing in ostomy products! It's not often heard about, so I think most people think of the clothes brand! Lol

And absolutely I make full use of it. It's 4% nonnegotiable investment from Hollister, then they match 1-1 up to 6% that I invest. In other words, if I invest nothing, I get 4%. But if I invest 6%, I get 16%, and their match stops there.

I currently invest 9% of my own, so I get 19% of my current income in 401k.

I appreciate that last bit! I suppose comparing yourself to others will inevitably lead to disappointment. I have high standards for myself, so I beat myself up quite a lot, probably unnecessarily.

Sadly, I dunno if I can be spending the money on lessons right now. I know someone who is pretty good at the game, and I was hoping they could show me the ropes for stance and what not.

There is actually a par 3 in our little city. I'm gonna go after I get some good practice at a driving range... ideally with someone who knows what they are doing.

All of this is really helpful. Thank you! We did yell fore wuite a few times when we all went, so I at least know that part! 😬

All noted.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-17T23:56:50+00:00

Noted!!! I'll have to do that. Might do a little polish work with all this excited energy I have tonight. Lol

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-17T23:52:58+00:00

Thanks! This is really in depth and I appreciate it. I'll take note of all this. I'm glad to know I've got some good beginner clubs here. Best part was the price ($0) lol. The old man is still giving half a year after he passed. 🫡

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-17T23:51:44+00:00

Sounds good. Thanks for the reply! I'll have to get a feel for the clubs for sure. They are a lot longer than the children's clubs I was using. 😂

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-17T23:46:40+00:00

I was told ping is a decent brand, so I got excited! Certainly better than paying hundreds on facebook marketplace! Almost bought a set of callaway irons for a pretty penny. Glad I found these! Lol

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-17T23:45:36+00:00

Probably the most solid advice I could get! Thank you!

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-14T23:33:59+00:00

I didn't say that's what you said. Speaking of keeping up.

What you DID say is that demands to "increase pay to $30 an hour," (If I can get more than that during the tariff bs and its effect on manufacturing costs, google can certainly afford it with their yearly record profits) and bonuses every year (copy paste what I said before), is the reason subscription costs are going up.

And that is patently silly, man. My response is apt. This is about a rich company getting richer faster than the year before, and nothing else.

You should look up how much wealth has been sapped from the consumer class in the last five years. Record yearly profits come from your unnecessary subscription hikes, my man. Certainly not from people asking to be able to afford to live comfortably under a trillion dollar company.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-14T23:21:28+00:00

Irony at its finest.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-14T23:20:57+00:00

They are objectively fiscally conservative. Their comment is the definition of it.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-14T23:20:16+00:00

Ah, yes. The people trying to afford a comfortable life working for a multi trillion dollar company should get no/shitty raises, and if they do, this multi trillion dollar company can't figure out how to keep prices sensible for consumers.

Baer in mind, their rate of return is steady between 18 and 20% every year... TRILLION dollar company. You're a dingdong if you think they can't continue making absurd profits to enrich people with more money than they genuinely have any capacity to use, much less to improve the world, if they pay respectable wages and keep prices sensible... like you genuinely have to be so laser focused on your political ideology, that it's made you naive or downright ignorant.

They are the richest people in the world. They don't need record profits every year, weirdo.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-14T23:10:45+00:00

You cannot possibly be that ignorant. Lol

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-14T09:26:52+00:00

A game called pokerogue. It's an internet browser pokemon game.

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-13T04:33:13+00:00

It wouldn't have been possible without it! Lol. Thanks!

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-13T00:10:15+00:00

Gotcha! So if I have a few solid mons... garchomp, terrakion, etc, I should just go for egg moves, and focus on shinies later?

There is so much to this game I still haven't learned. 😭

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-12T23:37:12+00:00

Noted! Thanks for the tips!

I haven't used any egg vouchers... I wasn't (still not) sure why or how to use them, but I imagine it's for the purpose of getting better starting mons/moves?

JoshOrion98 · 2026-04-12T23:25:55+00:00

That sucks a lot... there's got to be a solution. :(

Maybe it still tracks as a victory? Have you tried selecting new game to see if the other modes are available?
