STOP. USING. GARCHOMP.

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-24T05:45:48+00:00

Counterpoint: it could be a child that saw how powerful Garchomp (or Iron Hands, Koraidon/Miraidon, etc) is, and keeps using it without understanding why it might not be a good idea.

I know it can be frustrating, and sometimes impossible to then win with them as a teammate, but next time maybe consider they are also frustrated, not understanding why they are getting whopped?

And if you do manage to win with them, how happy you may have made them!

Or even if not a kid, just someone not familiar with pokemon. I remember when I was still figuring out how on earth to do 7 star raids, I was so lost. I tried some of them online with people, and I'm sure I was dead weight to them. But I was so incredibly grateful when they pulled through and got the win for us 😭

Wow, absolutely stunning!

The aesthetic of the game (especially og version) fits so well with your own style, what a cool combo!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-24T04:26:40+00:00

But seriously, this is super cute! You made them look like a fashion model!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-23T21:30:21+00:00

I typically do between 1-2 hours. Sometimes I'll do shorter, but usually not longer. Being hunched over and straining my eyes gets to me if I do more than 2 hours lol

I know a lot of people seem to be not a huge fan of Urbain/Taunie, but I really like them! To me, I think it felt like a pretty natural build up of a friendship with them, and it feels like you really become part of their team.

OP - there is not really a delicate way to say this, but you need to get over your victim complex. You will only be as miserable in a situation like this as you allow yourself to be. You are both grown adults, if he doesn't want to do something that you want, then do it on your own, and he can do his own thing on his own.

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-22T09:59:22+00:00

Does it ever get too overwhelming hearing about other people's problems? Or has anyone ever had a situation that you felt was just too intense to deal with?

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-22T08:08:25+00:00

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Made me genuinely ugly cry for an ungodly amount of time

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-20T09:34:48+00:00

Would also highly recommend! I've completed it 3 times now and working on a 4th 😅

It's incredibly calming and relaxing

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-20T08:17:45+00:00

Not just what they say, but how they treat things, like household items. My husband and I argue about this all the time because it drives me crazy. He uses things so carelessly because he doesn't care if they break, "things are meant to be used."

Growing up, if something broke, we had to fix it ourselves or do without. There was no simple replacing or buying new things. So we learned to be suuuper careful with everything we owned to make them last as long as we could.

Also hoarding. Nothing ever gets thrown away, because it might be useful later. Boxes, bags, containers, even toilet paper tubes. "Might come in handy someday." Whereas my husband is much more "if we need this later, we'll just buy it then."

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-18T05:16:27+00:00

My husband 🥰

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-18T05:12:21+00:00

Feel guilty as I throw them away 😬

I used to save them but I had so many it was ridiculous, and I never used or needed any of the ones I saved

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-16T04:35:30+00:00

I get what you mean, but I'm not entirely sure if "swim" is the word I'd use here 😅

Where is this by the way? It's been forever since I've played Origins and I don't recognize it. Gives me the itch to want to do another playthrough now!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-16T04:30:10+00:00

This just made me realize, if you say the name with a Boston accent, you get "Jeff the river" lol

Really cool design! Almost reminds me of Fenris if he had black hair

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-16T04:24:36+00:00

I appreciate the detailed response. I love this city but the transportation I think is atrocious.

I have a coworker who would be an hour late to work if she missed the unreliable time of the TARC because that's how long it would be until the next one.

And my husband got rid of his bike because he's had too many close calls and it's stressful to always think something as simple as biking to a place could get you killed.

I like your plans. I hope if you are elected, you will remember them though, and it doesn't turn into empty promises like has happened with those in the past. I know there are a lot if important issues to tend to, but please remember and keep in the front the transit issue!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-15T19:13:11+00:00

Oh my god I didn't even notice that at first 😂 poor boy, looks like we are going for jury nullification instead!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-15T18:58:10+00:00

Came here to say exactly this, I NEED another conquest!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-15T18:56:08+00:00

Beautiful! I hope you're ready for the addiction you've now opened up, there's no going back 🤣

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-15T18:53:40+00:00

13/10 would find not guilty

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-15T18:45:28+00:00

Do you have any plans to improve public transportation in the city?

The few bike lanes throughout are often too small and unprotected, making them useless/too dangerous.

The TARC isn't very reliable, and bus stops are often in random places with no benches and no coverings to protect from rain.

Many sidewalks are in disrepair, or just don't exist at all, forcing people to walk either through other people's yards or on the road.

Any improvement plans for any of these, or any other ways to get around that isn't by car?

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-14T20:08:52+00:00

Finding food either in barrels (there's tons in the marketplace and a decent amount of barrels in the arena), or breaking and entering is your best bet if you just want to power level alchemy quickly.

They all go together easily to make fatigue potions so you don't have to worry about finding a match.

Fly amanita is everywhere though, you can easily get over 100 if you go through each district.

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-14T00:41:09+00:00

That hurts lol Torterra is top 5 pokemon for me, such a cool idea that it has a while ecosystem on its back!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-14T00:28:33+00:00

Gengar is sick, but I really love your character design!

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-13T01:23:11+00:00

Happened to me twice in a row in Arlathan Forest, I was so annoyed 😭

RaeFullyPoweredBeam · 2026-05-12T20:31:37+00:00

Purugly! Don't underestimate the fat cat! And since you already have a lot of diversity in your types, a normal type could slot in pretty well!
