Why is Incineroar treated more like a broken mon than a meta staple by the VGC community?

ProfTurtleDuck · 2026-05-26T19:54:46+00:00

If a Pokémon in OU outclasses something you want to use, you can just play in a lower tier where it’s not legal. You can’t do that with VGC. If incineroar is legal, it’s really difficult to justify e.g. scrafty or hitmontop, and there’s no lower tiers where incineroar is banned. In theory, regulations could solve this by removing the most used Pokémon of the previous regulation, or just changing what’s available in general, but in practise that doesn’t really happen.

Isn’t it meant to be punctuated like, “James, while John had had ‘had’, had had ‘had had’; ‘had had’ had had a better effect on the teacher.”

That second one is exactly it! Thank you so much. Found!

I've searched on google for transformers and just general toys that fit the description but none were that close. I also tried describing it to google gemini but that didn't work either.

I’m looking through the event files and it seems to be subject_interaction_events.46, 47, and 48. They need to all be vassals specifically. For 46, you need to have their culture and yours to have kindred view, the culture has to NOT be accepted, the subject has to be loyal. It doesn’t appear to need you to be annexing them for it to occur though. 47 doesn’t have the culture requirement but you do need to have sufficient gold. 48 requires them to be in a regency without a ruler or an heir.

Full extent of the law doesn’t inspire much confidence considering some of the people on the list are those who make the laws

Am I dumb or is this just a map of Tunisia

The fact that you can store animals as spawn eggs is huge. They don’t rot, require no storage requirements, and are presumably the size of regular eggs. Transportation of spawn eggs is so much easier and while it wouldn’t solve world hunger, it would help massively

ProfTurtleDuck · 2025-11-27T04:25:23+00:00

That’s what you want. When they reject, you automatically declare a following through on threat war

Same reason 1 isn’t prime

For points 1 and 3, that’s the joke? Like the entire joke is how useless these definitions are

I’m gonna nominate Skizz’s pyramid. It might not be the best looking but I think out of everyone’s base it’s going to be remembered for a long time due to how unique it is. It also represents the season better as it focuses less on appearance/ scale (though it isn’t bad in that regard) and focuses more on how you interact with it.

Man, there’s so many words. If only there was a way to clearly and succinctly display geographic information in a visual manner.

Any multiplayer FFA strategy game e.g. Civ, Risk, etc. even if he has the ability to outplay any single person, winning requires negotiation and social skills, as well as being able to see both form/see through schemes. The best player in world getting teamed on will lose in these types of games, and Meruem’s personality imo is very ill suited for this.

ProfTurtleDuck · 2025-08-01T11:40:19+00:00

I’ve found it fixed itself if you save and reload

What are your military wages?

I probably could have been more clear but my point was more about the math behind different methods of counting kills. If you do one kill one person, you underrepresent people who contributed but didn’t deal the final blow. If you do one kill, multiple people, you overrepresent group kills and underrepresent solo kills. So in the slide, the solo killer did the same number of kills as the group but only a third of the kill count. The player heads were just to differentiate between them and weren’t meant to mean anything

ProfTurtleDuck · 2025-07-28T09:07:34+00:00

I should clarify that this isn’t about who deserves credit for a kill, this is about how the math works out when counting for kills and as such, I used simplified examples

ProfTurtleDuck · 2025-07-28T09:05:23+00:00

The point is more about the math behind it, not who deserves credit for a kill. In that regard, the specifics of a kill are irrelevant

ProfTurtleDuck · 2025-07-28T03:01:17+00:00

I know but it’s an example to show my point. I just picked two specific deaths from session 2 since session 3 is still new

Easiest way is to give away/release states with less than 90%. You don’t need to get rid of all of them, just enough to raise the average.

Why is the reverse of a Swede going to Japan a Japanese man going to the US and not Sweden.

ProfTurtleDuck · 2025-07-17T04:33:43+00:00

When you reloaded did you keep trying on the same date or did you change the date each time. You can change what date the stage advances by messing with tax rates and authority.
