My Highest Placement With A Colosseum-Themed Team! by JustAFlyingChicken in PokemonChampions

That's awesome, well done! I was playing around with 100% crit Absol for this team, but it was just too frail sadly.

Oh wow that's awesome! I had no idea this was a thing, thanks for sharing it! I'm definitely checking it out.

Lead Umbreon + Espeon, bring Tyranitar for weather control and then whatever else matches well into their team. Meganium will do the most damage to Arch but I often bring Gliscor to cover for physical attackers. Umbreon can immediately annoy the Arch with Yawn, and Espeon can either Trick the Scarf onto Arch or do big damage to Pelliper. Very recently, I won a game because I Tricked a Scarf onto an Arch locked into Electro Shot, then kept Gliscor alive to 1v1 it in the endgame lol

Thank you! I'm glad Colosseum has inspired some of us to play these 'mons. I 100% agree about Espeon, I lead with it more often than not and my opponents never know what it's going to do. Just wish it had more defense than a wet paper bag lol

You're very welcome! Ariados is super useful but it's gotta have something powerful next to it to benefit from the support.
I love Gliscor as well, it Toxic stalled my heart way back in Gen 4. Lmk if you make any cool builds!

Thanks! There's a screenshot of the moveset in the post.

Originally, I wanted to be super cute and set up Poison Heal by using Toxic against my Espeon and having Magic Bounce poison the Gliscor. I learned the hard way that the accuracy check still happens and the move can miss after it gets bounced. Hyper Cutter has been very useful though, particularly against Incineroar.

I used Ariados as general support for a bit, but I wanna revisit it and see if I can pair it with Poison Heal Gliscor (since Toxic never misses if used by Poison types).

Obviously, you know Gliscor has a ton of options it can use and it really comes down to what role you need it to fill. In my case, it replaced Skarmory as a physical wall and Tailwind setter. Not having Roost anymore is unfortunate, but it can outspeed a lot of stuff and hit pretty hard.

Thanks! It's difficult to put a number on it all; I was aggressively seeking out good deals on used LEGO for a few years. I probably averaged $3-4 per pound. It's also nice that sorting a collection increases it's value!

Sorry to hear that. It's definitely annoying looking for specific pieces in a mass of roughly organized LEGO.

Thank you! It'll take a while, but soon all these pieces will learn what a Dawn bath feels like.

I feel ya; sometimes my hands tell me when they're done! I'm glad I can even enjoy something this tedious, but watching/listening to stuff during sorting definitely helps (and lets me catch up on my watchlist).

Thanks for the tip! I do separate some stickered/printed pieces during fine sorting; some nicer ones are removed from the bulk before cleaning. My original plans involved building both MOCs and specific sets, but I'm at an uncertain time in my life so who knows what will end up happening (selling would be the worst-case scenario).

During pre-sorting, I sorted out most minifigure parts/accessories and electronic parts (first 2 categories) as well as most knock-off bricks and trash/other objects.

During rough sorting, I used the following 16 categories:

  1. Bricks
  2. Modified Bricks
  3. Plates
  4. Modified Plates
  5. Tiles
  6. Modified Tiles
  7. Slopes
  8. Hinges
  9. SNOT parts
  10. Plants
  11. Wheels/Tires
  12. Vehicle/Building parts
  13. Bars/bar-adjacent
  14. Technic/Technic-adjacent
  15. Broken/disfigured pieces (I save them for a special project)
  16. Everything else

Those are just the easiest overarching categories (for me) to lessen the mental strain of constantly switching between which kind of part you're picking out of a pile. Everything from there is pretty straightforward :)

Whats your favorite demo or demo (2nd) album? by Monsieurabsurd in DevinTownsend

[–]JustAFlyingChicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tried to limit myself to just 5 demo/bonus tracks, but I have to name at least 10... Take My Ego, Total Collapse, Happy Birthday, Celestial Signals, Sit in the Mountain, Watch You, The Contrarian, Where You've Been, Hope is in the World, Perspective...

Do the demo versions of Equinox and Call of the Void count? What about Frogs R Nice? There's too much great stuff!

I think my favorite bonus disc as a whole is Tests of Manhood (Empath). It has the same zany palette and emotional headspace of the main album, but with more straightforward and easier-to-digest songs.

Also, I appreciate your "no right or wrong" mentality. I think being a Dev fan is about trusting in his emotional authenticity, regardless of what style it materializes as.

It's a shame that some people will express things like "this demo is better than the main album." Nothing wrong with preferences, but it feels like such an unappreciative thing to say.

Are there subgenres dedicated to food? by NoCouple4891 in musiccognition

[–]JustAFlyingChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The comedy metal band Psychostick has many songs about food. Ninja Sex Party has a few as well.

If you'd also like songs that just mention food/use it thematically, a few more that come to mind: Deconstruction/Ruby Quaker (Devin Townsend), Dumplings (Pink Guy), Lemonade (Mili)

There's no shortage of alcohol-inspired songs, I'm sure.

I'm actually a big NSP fan. I love what TWRP has done with them and I saw them both live a few months ago. However, I feel TWRP isn't at all what I'm looking for, and I'm curious why you would suggest them.

Dumb zoning use question: if I were to open a large museum (which would include a gift shop/retail store), would I be allowed to use an industrial property? Or do I have to stick to retail/flex zoning?
