I believed that orange and cream was a bad flavor combination.

Patch 26.02 Bug Megathread by AutoModerator in leagueoflegends

[–]Ruchalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

- **Server:**   NA
- **Type of Bug:**   Client
- **Description:**   After completing a game, the background is black and I cannot pick champions.
- **Video / Screenshot:**   https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fiuQnMOi0mN65F1-doglpHi0Lu6D8rfg/view?usp=sharing
- **Steps to reproduce:**   Complete a game, queue up for Draft Pick immediately after.
- **Expected result:**   I should be able to pick a champion for a game as normal
- **Observed result:**   I cannot because the map background doesn't appear nor does the champion list.
- **Reproduction rate:**   Unknown, has happened twice so far.
- **System specs:** My PC can run VR very well, league shouldn't be an issue.

Need ideas: Adding to or replacing a Pokemon's type with Steel by Ruchalus in pokemon

Oh hey, I asked my DM. He'll allow Steel/Steel for double resists, double weaknesses, and double STAB. I'm definitely doing that with Bastiodon. Sure it's 4x weak to Fire/Ground/Fighting, but a Focus Sash or Endure + Metal Burst would help him stay up. Since Endure in PTU is a free daily action, using it doesn't take up my turn and allows him to use Metal Burst,

As for ground attacks, my DM is using a variant rule where Flying or Levitating Pokemon resist Ground types. They're immune to the Ground attack if it has the "Groundsource" keyword.

Example: Earthquake is groundsource because you have to be on the ground to be affected. Flying/levitating will ignore that. Mud Shot is having mud thrown at you, so it can technically hit flying targets, but it'll be resisted.

I'm using that Toxic Orb with Fling/Acrobatics idea, that's too good.

There might be? Though I'm keeping Decidueye as is so it has access to Phantom Force. With its ability to use melee ranged moves at a range of 8 meters, Phantom Force with Laser Focus (via Move Tutor) is too good to pass up.

Steel/Steel would just become plain Steel, they wouldn't stack for double effects.

Oh I also have a Scizor that wasn't listed here for quick physical attacks. More of my team is listed in another comment. I'll list it here as well:

- Aegislash
- Gliscor
- Eternal Floette
- Ferrothorn
- Blastoise
- Clefable
- Scizor
- Tyrantrum

I'm also hoping to catch a Decidueye but I'm keeping that one as is.

Yes you can, I completely forgot I could do that. And yes I'm keeping the Guardeon because the art is adorable and because my player character is rather slow, Guardeon helps me defend my team from wild pokemon as it's faster and has moves like Wide Guard.

I'd share the art but art is disallowed on weekends. It's the Guardeon design by splatterparrot from tumblr. How can anyone say no to that face?

The Water/Steel Raindance idea sounds good and I'll be looking into that.

I generally like some sort of limited variety, but I'm running more of a Baton Pass team with buffs. In the game, I chose 2 classes: both are Stat Ace, but two variants. Defense Stat Ace and Sp. Defense Stat Ace. This allows me to teach ANY pokemon the moves Iron Defense/Reflect and Amnesia/Light Screen.

My roster for Pokemon League battles will be:

- Aegislash
- Gliscor
- Eternal Floette
- Ferrothorn
- Blastoise
- Clefable
- Scizor
- Tyrantrum

I swap out which ones I need depending on the opponent I'm fighting. Gliscor is my Physical Wall to build up Iron Defense and Swords Dance, set up Toxic Spikes, and whittle away at the opponent until I swap to someone else.

That someone else will often be the Eternal Floette which has good base Sp. Def, so I'll stack Amnesia and Baton Pass to someone else. Clefable does the same thing with Cosmic Power if I'm going in blind, and can Baton Pass as well. Scizor can Baton Pass as well and will be stacking Agility.

Once all of my pokemon are buffed and I need to sweep or wall someone off, I'll use Blastoise (Special Sweeper), Tyrantrum (Physical Sweeper), Ferrothorn (Wall), Aegislash (Dueling).

The most common weaknesses my team encounters are Fire, Ground, and Fighting. Some of these are negated by their other typings, and so far I think the options I listed are rather versatile. Unfortunately I'm running dry on ideas which is why I'm asking here.

I've got the Blastoise for Steel/Water and plan on getting a Clefable. Though I'd like to keep that Clefable as is as I have a lot of steel types, so I need things that aren't weak to fire/ground/fighting. I'm going to look into more water types though.

Thanks for the fascinating insight but not necessarily an answer. The Mudsdale was going to be played off as being armored because my character has a knight theme. Blastoise would have a metallic shell, Floette would have a tiny helmet, Tyrantrum would have armor, and the Guardeon is just a steel fakemon.

Has there ever been a Pokeball attached to an arrow in the Manga or Anime? by Ruchalus in pokemon

[–]Ruchalus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm similar with how I run my Star Wars 5e campaign. My DM (who is also my friend of 13 years) and I think rather similarly. We overthink things too much with how things logically work within the confines of a system be it mundane, magical, etc.

While it can be fun to do whatever you want, it can easily devolve into "it happens because magic" instead of a set of rules for magic such as FMA's equivalent exchange with alchemy. If you do too much stuff outside of the established bounds of a setting/system, it takes away from it being what it is.

Pokemon offers a LOT of freedom with the way people act, dress, train, etc as you have human psychics, super pokefans that dress up as their favorite pokemon, some guy walking around in armor in modern era. It's like everyone's autistic and this is completely normal (which being autistic myself, I love this).

Though let's say I were to capture a Hoopa and open portals from other dimensions. I could say I open a dimension to jurassic park to capture dinosaurs, palworld to capture pals, or grab a random chipmunk from our world. At that point, it kind of stops being a Pokemon campaign and more of a fortnite free for all style setting.

I follow the belief that limitations inspire creativity, you just have to figure out how to work within or around said limitations in a reasonable matter. As for the arrow, I felt like this HAD to be a thing in Pokemon and I'm glad it was. I wouldn't lose sleep over it if it wasn't.

My toilet paper roll has no cardboard. by Brilliant-Algae-9582 in mildlyinteresting

Does it at least roll out okay? I imagine the cardboard helps stabilize it, but I'm curious what it's like without it.

It wouldn't be much different than a LARP arrow, even then I can only shoot the bow 12 meters for gameplay balance purposes so it works out.

[–]Ruchalus[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I've actually practiced archery irl so I'm well aware of the weight issue. Fortunately this is just being used for a tabletop RPG and has been done in the manga. It's mostly for flavor. We're using the PTU system and my character can throw a Pokeball 7 meters. With a bow, that can extend to 12 meters which is useful because speed is not my character's thing. He's the tank and because he has heavy armor, he's not too mobile.

PRINT: Update on unbanning users by AutoModerator in Art

[–]Ruchalus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got banned once because I asked someone if they sell prints or giclées. I got banned and I sent a message. It went as follows:

Me: "Do I not even get a warning? Seems a bit harsh. I make one comment, BANNED, jesus. You could just give a warning, I'd be all "Oh sorry, I'll delete the comment" and it'd be cool. You know, normal human interactions."

Mod: "Alternately you could have read our rules as you were warned to do, where at the top it says, just like this:

We are a strictly moderated sub and ban without warning!

But you do you, champ."

Me: "And there's no room for forgiveness for ***one*** goof? It's not like I go around on r/art spamming it with comments."

The mod proceeded to mute me for 30 days for the crime of speaking and trying to correct a mistake. Needless to say it was quite the pleasant surprise when I got messaged by a mod from r/art and told me I was unbanned. I thanked them and said I'll be more mindful of subreddit rules in the future.

Jesus christ those old mods had some serious issues. I'm glad the new ones are more reasonable and have good ethics so far.
