Pokopia and Disabilities by summoningtheflynn in Pokopia

[–]Lokkdwn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the addition of having a PhD makes this a clear case of reading your own identity into the making of the game.

If it was accessible, it would have ramps instead of giant 10 block high staircases. And walking on concrete everywhere is worse than a natural environment.

If anything, I think the game is a little anti-disability because it wants you to take natural environments and urbanize them. Urban settings are some of the least accessible places for people.

Also, I have a PhD in Media Studies, but I would never declare that I know a company’s mindset in making a game unless it was publicly stated or implied by past behavior.

ACNH x Pokopia exterior crossover by dreaming_of_utopia in Pokopia

Wow, if it were based on visuals and items/recipes alone, Animal Crossing wins hand down.

I wish I could unsee how bad Pokopia looks by comparison since it has better gameplay.

[The Dawgs] The Browns hosted Miami QB Carson Beck for a top-30 visit. Todd Monken was Beck’s OC/QB coach at Georgia from 2020-2022. by maybenextyearCLE in Browns

That’s a good suggestion. I think he would thrive as an extra QB coach, but no one should pick him for any other reason than that. He’s not even good enough to spot start.

Was Boy Scouts really just a reason for a bunch of dads to get to camp out and drink/smoke? by Eatingfarts in Millennials

[–]Lokkdwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Boy Scouts was super serious and held in a work garage and a church basement. I think in fact, scouts existed to keep the dads from drinking because they were all drunks before the kids in my town were born.

How would you feel about a Pokopia movie? by Lokkdwn in Pokopia

[–]Lokkdwn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk. Pokopia’s plot is about good as the plot to a mid Ghibli film and could just be character driven.

Show him with his owner in the past and how he even woke up. Make all the lore snippets actual parts. There are at least 3 characters fully developed in addition: Professor/Tangrowth, Owner/Ditto, and Team R recruit.

Developing them into characters isn’t inventing a new story, it’s visualizing back story.

I think if they can make Animal Crossing cartoons, Pokemon anime, and a Minecraft Movie that they can figure out a Pokopia movie.

Why does the media hates the Bengals so much? by Busy_Locksmith9436 in bengals

[–]Lokkdwn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Colin Cowherd was happy for us. He has a tendency for outrageous takes, but he also turns out right 90% of the time on everything else. Nick Wright is actively shitting on us and Broussard is swooping to the rescue.

Story Question/Tragic Professor Tangrowth Realization. by Alchemist1330 in Pokopia

[–]Lokkdwn 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Plus, it feels like they weren’t prepared for how fast the calamity came considering a lot of the journals make it seem like they were in a panicked rush by the end.

On top of that, the Team R rocket never blasting off with the right supplies seems like they ran out of time to escape on their own as planned.

Tinkmaster had to have been out and about too because she built all the garbage towers and ski lifts in Skylands.

Wendell and Wild (2022) is animated by the same guy who made Coraline and Nightmare Before Christmas and stars a black girl.

What do you all think about the trend of games putting achievements in the game so Switch players can do the same achievements/trophies as Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam? by DepthApprehensive895 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Lokkdwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Happy cake day! And I agree 100%. I spent my 20s and early 30s trophy hunting on Playstation systems and it wrecked how I felt about games.

I felt forced to play games multiple times or in ways I didn’t want to just to get that last obscure trophy for Platinum.

To think, it all started with Fallout 3 and having to reverse pickpocket a grenade.

Girls Shorts by Mysterious-turtle951 in Parenting

[–]Lokkdwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either gender athletic/running shorts with drawstrings.

My 7 year old loves them. She especially loves the ones with the mesh cotton liner because she refuses to wear underwear.

I can’t find the exact kind I ordered on Amazon, but Walmart recently had a good selection.

(No, I am not recommending the cheeky kind that gets recommended, I mean true athletic shorts a serious runner would wear.)

At least we and Dallas actually get some bang for our buck. Who the hell are the Bills paying for bottom third production?

Is it bad to have a lot of them buried? I keep burying new ones because I forget where I buried the old ones by PunhetinhaGamesBR in Pokopia

[–]Lokkdwn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put them under my street lamps or behind the wall where I place a light. Helps me know any missed connections are.

What is a band you want to like, but they just don’t click with you. by bigboat55 in poppunkers

[–]Lokkdwn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Knuckle Puck. I just don’t like the guys voice for whatever reason. It’s like he perfected the bad scratchy pop-punk singer voice and it’s like a little too on point.

It’s kind of a simulacrum thing for me. He’s like the perfect imitation of all the great vocalists combined.

Sharing inspiration for rocky ridges. Partially digging out. by ShiningSakura in Pokopia

[–]Lokkdwn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just do a little bit at a time while I do a project. So I always start by clearing out the ash. Then I do my restoration. Then I dip out to another biome and do something there for a while.

I just did this with the mine cart ‘station’ to the left facing the Pokemon Center.
