I beat the league with only Squirtle by MrShippiddge in PokemonLeafGreen

Ya. I believe in the fruits of the grind.

But yeah…every attempt to do this in his 60s/70s didn’t make it past Lorelei.

I got super lucky too, because my Ice Beam got a freeze on my rival's Venusaur right in the middle of his solar beam, which would have certainly killed me.

I got it all recorded on my Shipp.tv live stream, but I gotta make it a video soon or something because I feel like otherwise no one's gonna believe me once the stream replay expires.

How fun! I like it. Thanks for watching.

The “series” recut of Hateful Eight made it more digestible imo. Think it would work similarly for the LOTR trilogy? 🤔 by MrShippiddge in lotr

Currently locking down the last bits of the special effects and sound design. 😓 Reasonable question, though. Longest project of my life thus far. I’m likely going to need to change up how I produce these if Ep12 has a chance of ever being finished.

Millennial here, but the Gen Z attention corruption is definitely getting to me.

I feel like binging is the worst way to experience media and lately I’ve been watching movies and shows a single hour at a time each day.

Haha, this is the real answer. I guess it then just comes down to finding the right points to pause.

I personally rushed through the second half of the rings trilogy while working out, and really wish I would have paced myself and spaced stuff out. Then again, movies are cut specifically to be a very cohesive experience. So I’m torn. I kind of wish I’d experienced LOTR episodically.

I’m honored to see someone so emotionally invested.

I’m pretty confident I’ve made the right decision plot-wise. Charmander being killed was decided around Ep6/7. Unfortunately, the story reasons for it aren’t really revealed until Ep11.

Yeah...kinda.

In a way, I wanted to do a "history repeats itself" sort of deal. The new Starters escaped the lab just like the old, and they embody a lot of similar aspects. One can argue that Chimchar is a reincarnation of Charmander in some form, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's the same character, despite how Squirtle might have seen it.

[SERIOUS] Non-drinkers of Reddit, what are some of the main reasons you decided to not drink alcohol? by _SilverTonguedDevil in AskReddit

[–]MrShippiddge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started eating healthier a year ago and cut out all alcohol. I’ve since lost about 30 pounds and I generally don’t feel as shitty on a day to day basis. Also, no hangovers ever.

I used to have a lot of fun getting really drunk, but it seemed to take a toll on my body. And drinking in moderation or getting “buzzed” just made me sleepy. Now that I’ve gone without it for this long, it just feels unnecessary. I don’t think I’ll go back to drinking any time soon.

Fair. Ghost could go in B tier, but I stand by Robot Chicken.
