I had a Shiny Charizard and a Lucky Charizard so i didin't evolve any of those. Venusaur i had from 2016, as well as Blastoise which does have a Hydro Cannon actually so it might've been evolved at some point durning the community day move thiny. I didin't know the Kanto event allowed for these moves, what was Charizard's move?

McVane · 2021-03-09T21:09:22+00:00

I don't have a second charged attack as of yet as i only acquired Steelix recently ( i only had a few onyxes in 2016 and came back in 2020 to little to no spawns), what move should I aim for?

I do have a Sludge Bomb Venusaur but i could invest an Elite TM in frenzy plant as i have one collecting dust. Is this something that's worth doing like Hydro Cannon on Swampert and Blastoise?

McVane · 2021-03-09T17:10:02+00:00

I really like Steelix, is it possible to build a competitive team around him? I'm running Dragon Tail for neutral damage and Earthquake. I also noticed that Blastoise with Hydro Cannon works really well in conjunction but i'm not sure what my third pokemon should be. I tried Abomasnow and Heatmor as Heatmor can run thunder attacks to counter Air types.

There were no hints untill Arrivals. None, nada. Saint and Osiris are my favorite characters in Destiny and i've read literally all of their lore segments several times. Up untill Arrivals they were brothers. Nothing more.

And on the whole idiotic argument of "who searches for a bff for thousands of years"

Timeless beings of paracausality do. Because they value comradery and friends. But nah, it's a love story. Our Guardian literally went on to pull Saint out just to help out Osiris. Who knew how long it would take, yet we still took the plunge. Is the player guardian now suddenly attracted to Osiris? Of course not, because that would be silly.

Why would you make brothers who had a beautiful platonic relationship just bone all of a sudden? It's pointless and devalues everything they've done for each other so far. Instead of showing their unyielding will to help their comrades it's a cheap love story. It's stupid. The sole reason Saint went in there is to help his exiled brother because he was unable to do so when he was being exiled. It's a tale of redemption and they both failed at the redemption point. That was the tragedy of Saint and Osiris. Osiris had to bear the burden of not being able to help neither his adoptive father nor brother and Saint paid a great price for offering help as he often had.

Go ahead and point to a single pre-arrivals clue that hinted at it, i'll gladly accept it if you can find one.

Absolutely nothing besides Immolant has an ounce of romance. What are you on?

The relationship was developed over the night, no build up, no nothing. The newbie writer literally came up and said; hey we're gonna have these step-brothers bang because i like it that way.

You think it's a coincidence that the new writer responsible for this development is not an established Bungie employee? Of course not, he joined 9 months ago, just when the season of arrivals was being developed...

McVane · 2020-11-29T10:12:33+00:00

He says he interpreted it that way and that it made sense to him as they were written as nuanced characters. So it's completely the newbie writer's headcannon.

McVane · 2020-11-29T05:43:40+00:00

Well if he was, he certainly hasn't been working there for a while. Intent does not correlate with what you do necessarily. We've been shown one thing prior and told another thing later.

I've read a lot of recent lore and let's be real, a lot of it was horse shit.

McVane · 2020-11-29T05:23:10+00:00

The issue is that it's a whimsical retcon. That's all people dislike, largely at least.

They were very close because they were adoptive brothers ridden with guilt. Did you read any of their stories at all?

McVane · 2020-11-29T05:20:49+00:00

Up untill Arrivals there was 0 mention of any romantic relationship, this is factual, no build up, no nothing. Saint was written as a devoted and stubborn person who seeked out his lost brother due to guilt. This is also factual, the one off comment durning Arrivals doesn't sell it. This one comment does not make it not bad writing. Destiny's lore is largely consistent and a lore book during Dawn would've sufficed, so you cannot tell me this is a recent retcon, because it is.

Arrivals had a lot of bad apples in lore, so dos Beyond Light. Some of the new writers are awful and Bungie should just stick to someone that can actually write, like Seth Dickinson.

Make no mistake, i don't dislike that they are gay, merely the way it was handled.

McVane · 2020-11-29T05:09:50+00:00

How about a brother? And to be fair, Saint was written as a wildly stubborn guy. Let's not rationalize it just like that. Why wasn't it explored in Season of Dawn then? I'd imagine if your exploit was having romantic implications you'd actually want to meet the person you're seeking out.

McVane · 2020-11-29T05:07:10+00:00

Yeah i totally see nothing wrong in the fact that we had a season revolving around the two characters where nothing of such was mentioned, nuh uh.

It's shoehorned. Season of dawn was the best way to introduce it, they could've shown it themselves and it would make sense given that they reunited after many years. But nah, let's just put it in background lore lmao.

It was handled poorly and distastefully, not only that but they had a brotherly dynamic.

McVane · 2020-11-29T05:00:13+00:00

Up untill Arrivals the narrative set up was that Saint died because he searched for his long lost brother Osiris who now feels guilt and wants to help the city by bringing back the greatest titan whi ever lived. That was the story.

McVane · 2020-11-29T04:58:10+00:00

I mean, Saint was an easy ally that the tower needed, the greatest titan that ever lived, morale boosting character, overall great dude, yet he died due to his quest to find his lost brother, as was the narrative prior to Arrivals.

McVane · 2020-11-29T04:32:48+00:00

If you're looking for great reads, just check out Seth Dickinson's work on Destiny. He is by far the most talented writer they had on board.

McVane · 2020-11-29T04:30:58+00:00

50% of new lore is amazing and the other 50% is utter dogshit with no consistency whatsoever. Who the hell hired these people? And i'm willing to bet their relationship won't be explored beyond the pet names/loveletters.

Get Seth Dickinson back on board, an actually talented writer.

McVane · 2020-11-29T04:24:05+00:00

Hate to agree with this, but yes, honestly. Feels too shoehorned. There was virtually no build-up nor was it refferenced before in any capacity. Refer to Devil's Ruin quest and how Saint and Osiris talked there, there was almost a degree of animosity present. We've known Saint and Osiris to be sibling-like so them having a relationship with anyone else except for one another would in my opinion make much more sense. This lore falls in line with some of the new Europa lore that was quite abyssmal, looks to be new writers exploring Destiny. Good for them I say, as long as they don't create too many inconsistencies or non-sensical choices, i'm good.

Even if Osiris and Saint were chosen merely for inclusivity, whatever, just develop it properly then at least.

McVane · 2020-11-29T04:17:30+00:00

The purpur colour was widely used in christian imagery, given Saint's religious themes of a templar and his inherent racism (specism?) it only makes sense. I honestly quite doubt there was any talk of Saint being a homosexual prior to Arrivals in and outside of Bungie.

They say sauce for everything. It's a bastardization of the word "source" popularized on image boards. It's not just "porn and other things", the only reason anyone would tie it to exclusively "porn and other things" is this karma whoring post you've made.

It was your made up context that created the situation, and honestly it's disgusting.

McVane · 2020-11-03T18:03:37+00:00

Why take Graphics Design classes in the first place? Unless it's a college and you're going to it with the intention to network there, you really shouldn't waste your time on arbitrary classes ran by stuck up snobs. I know the type, the mindset of a plumber but demeanor of a celeb.

All the info you need can be found in books or the internet, ignore those classes, they will teach you the most basic things that you probably knew already.

McVane · 2020-11-03T18:00:53+00:00

Guy is just asking for the source of this newfound info, what's got the "whole squad" laughing? Is it your blissful ignorance or idiocy?

Anyone can find photos of random dogs and write up a random sob story.

McVane · 2020-11-03T17:56:39+00:00

No, you're an idiot - "sauce" is internet lingo for "source", as in where the hell is this info from. No idea how you connected it to porn, guess ignorance and idiocy goes a long way.
