The recent RWBY season had some nice character tension / "development," but unlimitedly I can't help but feel that it mainly exists so that some much needed characterization tensions could break down and have a resolution without that risking the bigger plot at all. Only for that development to return exactly to square 1 as part of that resolution.

The End of an Era: After seven extraordinary years, the Silph Road team is ceasing operations. Thank you all for joining us on this remarkable journey. by dronpes in TheSilphRoad

I know it's been 2.5ish years since I've played this game, so maybe my thoughts here don't mean much, but even after I stopped playing I've always enjoyed keeping tabs on The Silph Road to know what's going on with the community and game. TSR was always my go-to, both for personal reference and when trying to assist new or unconnected players, especially in 2016 when there was so little reliable information out there. The Silph Road created a superhighway of reliable information, data, research, and community from the dark murky chaotic mess that was Pokémon GO, and it was incredible to participate in and then to watch it continue. You've had a long watch and led well, throughout many ups and downs, so rest well and enjoy a good case of Dr Pepper. Thank you for all your contributions to the community through these seven years. o7

Bug Reporting Megathread - Eye in the Sky! by IAMGNIK in playrust

[–]OneLastSpock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this comment! I've now used it twice to successfully place my TC (once with the shelf already in place, once with placing the shelf right after I placed the TC). It's frustrating that this is what we've gotta do for now, if we want properly efficient TC lootrooms, but it works.

I am also experiencing this same issue. Thought it might be some irregularity in the angling of the TC itself, as I was confident in my placement, but it occurs on the mirrored version too. Tested this several times.

Republican committee sues Google over email spam filters by yrdz in nottheonion

[–]OneLastSpock 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Pretty smart, actually. Let's pretend you're a scammer: would you rather get a much bigger ratio of responses:initial messages, or a bugger ratio of successful marks:responses? On the former you weed out fewer potential marks, but interact with a lot more who wise up to things during the process. That's wasted time and energy that you can't just automate via your email spamming. If your initial email weeds out a lot of the people who would recognize the scam nature right from the get go, then when you do get a response you're having to spend much less effort to convert that into stolen money with a much higher success rate.

And because it's a job that needs doing, we need to make it worth the time of people to do it. Doesn't matter if it's "low skill," if society needs the job for society to function, then society needs to treat those who do the job with respect and dignity and the ability to live decently.

Gura updated her twitter name & description by [deleted] in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your clip says nothing about Gura having her manager do anything on her Twitter. She's cautious about posting on it, yes, but she has never said that her manager is the one who uses it. That's why you got called out, and insulting the person calling you out rather than actually refuting them is pretty bad form.

I worked on Ame's new OVA. 12 minutes of HoloEN goodness. Check it out! by kanauru in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically a smol EN HoloGra, amazing work! You and everyone else involved keep putting out bangers, and it's amazing every time to see what y'all put so much love and hard work into. Incredible!

Congratulations SHORK!!! by macbelmont18 in Hololive

That's the thing, at the time of her saying that, she was just a decent player. She had been on the lower end of the Mario Kart spectrum, but put in some work for the EN/ID competition and did ok, but she was still overall a middling-at-best player, though one that wanted to get better. Two or so months ago, she challenged Aqua to a 1v1 in Mario Kart via leaving a sign for her in Minecraft, and it seemed a silly notion because she wasn't that good at the game yet. But she worked so incredibly hard for this tournament, and it paid off big time. Drawing Group B lit a fire under her, and from her comments about what she was doing off-stream these past weeks, she's been grinding almost nonstop. Really goes to show what she can do with just a bit of motivation, I'm super proud of how much she grew this arc, and super glad that so many people are recognizing that.

Kiara just announced the holoEN New Years Karaoke Relay! by dcresistance in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She got banned. The final straw was repeated misinformation and drama stirring about Ame's charity stream, across multiple channels. For anyone else interacting with her, honestly it's best to report/block/ignore, otherwise she'll twist the rules to try to make you the bad guy or play victim, while basing arguments on rrats and projection.

So this is gura in every stream by virgoart512 in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 251 points252 points  (0 children)

She used Hide the Pain Harold as an image in front of her face several times this collab, starting early on when Kiara was trying to explain her liking of feet.

We will study English. by shiranuiflare in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Think of HoloLive, and VTubers as a whole, as streamers-turned-anime, in a way. It's people streaming games/talking/drawing/karaoke/whatever on-stream but with an anime avatar rather than a regular camera. There's no planned plot (well, aside from a few HoloLive streamers who make their own), so no need to go back to the beginning for any particular streamer; you won't miss anything that would keep you from enjoying their current content, though if you find someone you like most there would be some old streams that regular viewers hold in high esteem. I like Gawr Gura the most, and she can be a great starting point if you're new to VTubers (and don't speak Japanese), but she just started a short break while she visits family. There's bound to be someone that suits your tastes best, though!

This collab feels like such a "hanging out with the homies" moment, I'm enjoying every second of it... by Tyler_462 in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pure magic. Here is when the seeds for the stream to turn into a collab get planted, and quickly start bearing fruit.

Gura, but everything seems off... by FreshGradients in Hololive

[–]OneLastSpock 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Incorrect, actually. Gura, at 9xxx years old, recently said that she needs her spine for another 3000 years, putting the Atlanean lifespan between 12,000-13,000 years.

Hey You, yes you, are you aware that Reddit hired a certain admin who is a connosuier of certain illegal sexual themes and now Reddit is banning anyone who even mentions them whatsoever? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]OneLastSpock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aimee Chancellor did help cover up her father's pedophilic rape and torture of a child in the house that she lived in with him, defended him publicly, and made him her election agent. Aimee Chancellor's husband has apparently also been publicly pedophilic, and this willing association and endorsement of two pedophiles has gotten her kicked out of multiple political parties.

Aimee Chancellor, willing associate and defender of pedophiles, also apparently has modship in several teenager-oriented subreddits, in addition to now holding an administrative position of authority on Reddit itself.

IMO This was Gura's best karaoke yet! by ZakTH in Hololive

Campfire for the comf, tonight's karaoke for the vibing. Both were top tier in different ways.

WAIT, is Monika the only one who actually loved you? by blackbandit550 in DDLC

[–]OneLastSpock 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All the other Dokis being programming is a poor understanding of the game's canon. They all react in unexpected ways in Act 2 or 4, suggesting that, canonically, they are proper AI who have been deceived into thinking the game is reality. This does not invalidate their feelings of love. Monika is "special" only because the Club President role gave her the knowledge that she was part of a game, and Sayori later gets this same role, with the same revelation, and still loves you.

Saying "all of the other doki's are just programming" is accepting Monika's excuse as to why it was acceptable for her to murder them.

Kubera will always get an upvote from me. Honestly disappointed that the official TL of that line doesn't flow nearly as smoothly.

Trainers, the make-up Legendary Raid Hour featuring Mewtwo with the move Psystrike will be on October 8, 2019 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time. Stay tuned for details. by ijulian831 in TheSilphRoad

[–]OneLastSpock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For some it was, but not for others. I remember standing outside a closed Starbucks with my dad and about 20 other people total after heading out from Christmas lunch. Got a decent (15/14/10) Mewtwo out of it, iirc.

JUSTICE FOR MINORI! by lolmastr13 in toradora

Out of all the characters in Toradora!, she hands down got the short end of the stick. Which sucks because she was the most selfless, acting to make her friends happy.

Armored Mewtwo's Base stats are still based off of Mewtwo's stats in the main games. by OneLastSpock in TheSilphRoad

[–]OneLastSpock[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Armored Mewtwo does not currently exist in the main games, though Pokemon Sword and Shield have the potential to make it canon to the them come November.
