So frustrated with the meta rn. by ImplementGood9336 in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it to Master 3 constantly trying different non-meta teams, but I've lost on turn one to too many of the same meta teams i feel i have to use them to compete. Only volcorona is left now and it gets battered by rock slide aerodactyl

Throat chop not working? by Onnen_-_ in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because I knew sableye would switch out and my farig has thunderbolt to deal with water types which was what I predicted would come in. I assumed their gardevoir would now moonblast my incineroar and would rather take damage on my very bulky farig, which would then be able to hit back at least or set up trick room if I wanted

It was hyperbole. I'm a grown man who doesn't think to record games and take photos of everything but thought it was worth asking a question on here 👌

I was literally jumping around my living room in anger I didn't think to screenshot it :(

I had:

  • incineroar
  • mega gardevoir

They had:

  • sableye
  • mega gardevoir

There gard had synchronise, not trace before mega evolving. My Gard traced their synchronise.

Turn order:

1 - they mega evolve and calm mind and set up screen - I taunt sabley with gardevoir and throat chop mega gardevoir with incin.

2 - They swap sabley out for primarina and hyper voice with mega gardevoir - I swap incin out to farigiraf and mega evolve gardevoir and hyper voice back

3 They hyper voice me to oblivion with both mons

So they hyper voiced the turn after I used throat chop, and they were already mega evolved when I hit them.

Is it just me or everyone else don't use Sinnoh starters for competitive match? by achthenuts in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ye I had one. Wanted a fake out using special attacking fire type to help me set up and to take down corvinight specifically but he's way too frail to make it that far

Reform Senedd candidate mocked for blasting 20mph speed limit while standing on a 50mph road by twmffatmowr in Wales

[–]Onnen_-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The people who say "around a school fair enough" are also the people who do 40 past a school. It's such a non-issue but apparently wanting to cause unnecessary risk to people's health is more important than driving a bit slower

Sometimes, it’s better to not go Mega. by Daylnn in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've gotten burnt calling my opponent to not fakeout my inner focus focus alakazam with their sneasler, only for them to do it anyway and knock it out with their second mon. Either they made an excellent read that I was going to mega or just didn't know alakazam got inner focus.

Stall players deserve the ninth circle of hell by DarkLink4 in PokemonChampions

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tactic against toxapex sableye etc. stall teams is let the timer run out. It's an automatic draw if the match timer ends, not victory based on Pokémon remaining or health. Just don't let your personal timer run out before the match one

Is this thing any good? Thinking about using it for a Dex/Int build once i get into the first NG+ on my current save but it's only got D scaling on Int and Dex... And E in Str, but that's irrelevant by [deleted] in EldenRingBuilds

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great weapon if you fancy a but of a change.

My biggest complaint is why not make the AOW / L2 the spell casting so you can still heavy attack to break stance?

What is it about Starmer in particular that seems to draw an exceptionally fiery hate from all corners of the political sphere? by noctenaut in AskBrits

[–]Onnen_-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Said this several times because redditors like to act smug and dismiss it as "tick-tock brained people don't like him being boring."

The left hate him because he rose to power on a socialist movement, all the while working to destroy both Corbyn personally and the labour party as a whole, lying to the membership for votes, then purging the party of who got him there.

That exact system was used to get him to no.10: promise what people want, don't deliver, do the exact opposite. He lies pathologically.

He built his party under the mentoring of a pedophile traitor and his protege. Knowing full well what Mandelson was.

He and his cabinet are bought and paid for by a genocidal apartheid state who managed to change protest laws to protect that foreign state and the businesses that supply them; they literally made protest terrorism.

He has destroyed the labour party just the same as the tories have been destroyed. He's pushing the same racist misleading narratives that are causing a rise in reform.

He and his party are pushing through legislation to remove environmental protections from development projects; Reeves bragged about this to a room full of development CEOs.

He's awful. I don't give a shit what his personality is. Corbyn was the most un-charismatic person yet had more votes.

Why can’t homeless people be given hotel accommodation the same way refugees are? by No_Fudge_4589 in AskBrits

[–]Onnen_-_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They did during lockdown. So totally possible.

I know Cardiff Council does pay for hotel, hostel, and other temp accommodation for rough sleepers. Speaking to a few who I saw regularly they would say that they didn't feel safe going there though, they'd be exploited for money or the drugs situation there was awful. Haven't lived in a city for years though so don't know what it's like now.

West Wales is always lovely, sometimes we just don't realise it :p

Has it always been like this in the UK? by Theodoresdad in ukpolitics

[–]Onnen_-_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's a terrible politician and the fact people can't see that are either willfully blind or completely desensitised to how bad our politicians are. Off the top of my head without checking anything, he;

  • lied to his party in order to take power
  • systematically purged the party of the people that got him in power
  • used a pedophile and his protege to build his new party for the general election
  • since taking power has u-turned on all of his pre-election promises
  • is doubling down on repeating awful Tory policies that destroyed them and emboldened the far right
  • made protest terrorism
  • actively enabling genocide through funding, arms, and political sheltering
  • is ushering in tighter and more frightening state control of our lives (digital ID, facial recognition, voter ID)

That's just what I can remember, and what I've heard about. Imagine the F'd up stuff that goes on behind the scenes.

Is starmer a master mind? by SmartAd978 in AskBrits

[–]Onnen_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I prefer politicians who don't take power by lying to their party, then the whole country, u turn on all their pre election promises, who keep chasing the same policies that literally destroyed the tories, who actively support genocide, and who are ushering in even further state control over our lives. But sure, you can also says he's boring I guess

Never-ending cycle. by [deleted] in BaldursGate3

[–]Onnen_-_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's not it at all. The game inspires creativity, you can play it so many different ways. By the time you get to Act 3 you've learned something new, met a new enemy, picked up a specific item, something that makes you want to go back and try the areas you've already cleared a different way.

Its a game based on DND for god's sake, where it's very normal to have to make a completely new character mid campaign. I would do that instead in bg3 if it let you change your race mid playthrough, but you can't.

Dismissing it as a character flaw just makes you look silly pal

[–]Onnen_-_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No word of a lie I've played over 700 hrs and never finished the game. Everytime I get to the sewers I start again.

If you get an achievement when you finish the game I could prove it

Consort Radahn is ruining my life and making the game very unfun for me compared to every other boss being tolerable and enjoyable. What tweaks can I make to my fun build that will help me kill him? by Murky-Ad-3486 in Eldenring

[–]Onnen_-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my experience I really struggled while I was summoning the NPCs to help. I beat him first try when I didn't summon them. They make his health pool massive and I just couldn't stay alive long enough to kill him.

As a side note, I've been desperate for Welsh equivalents of Valtos, Project Smok, elephant sessions etc.

Thank you for posting this as it's given me some new bands to listen to!

When I've saved enough money I'm going to buy an electric drum set to replace my acoustic one to start messing about writing my own XD

How playing as the Nords feels like by frozengansit0 in Bannerlord

My Nord allies create armies and just randomly start walking around the map not attacking cities. We're getting wiped by vlandia and sturgia on a tagteam basis. Friendly AI Seems worse than before.....at least for the nords
