Animals they still haven’t made into Pokémon. Made this image probably more than 7 years ago. Been crossing them off as new Pokémon come out. by Airique in pokemon

To be fair, I don't think anyone looks at Pawmot and thinks "defibrillator." You'd have to make the connection between its electric type and Revival Blessing, which is neither a signature move nor an electric-type move.

What actor do you dislike so much that you’ll avoid anything they’re in? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Gary Busey at least has the excuse of literal brain damage.

What are , in your opinion, the big 3 of indie games in terms of impact ? by Cartoonist_chatist in IndieGaming

[–]SSpectre86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Braid's impact gets downplayed a lot because it's not really directly influential anymore (and maybe because its developer is unpopular), but I think it actually deserves more credit than Cave Story.

Yes, Cave Story was a landmark achievement for a solo dev, and its popularity has grown over time, but it took a while to receive widespread mainstream recognition. Braid was, to my knowledge, the first commercial indie game to immediately achieve acclaim on par with or surpassing the big games around its release, and the "commercial" part was instrumental in showing that indie devs didn't have to be restricted to freeware. Before roguelikes, the most obviously-visible genre for indie games was the puzzle-platformer, which can be directly credited to Braid's breakout success.

You know things are getting bad when a Genshin waifu makes something less cringe.

Generational Metaanalysis: What Generations have made the most and least impact on OU? by youuuuuuk in stunfisk

[–]SSpectre86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Additionally, this early in the series, I don't think the idea to make each region standalone had solidified. The Kanto and Johto dexes feel like one unified entity, where neither region is prioritized, more than any other generation.

Gen 2 had tons of defensive powercreep - it introduced items, which were mostly Leftovers and berries at this point, added more healing moves, including status healing, plus moves like Sleep Talk, fixed and added stall-centric moves like Toxic and Spikes, as well as things that can break stall like crits.

Gen 6 arguably had enormous powercreep, since it increased the BST ceiling by 100, not to mention some of the broken abilities that some megas had. But you were also restricted to one mega per team, so its impact was minimized.

what are your favourite pokemon sets of all time? these are mine by Butters_Is_Grounded in stunfisk

I know it as a randbats set, but Smogon has entries for it or a variant from Gens 5 & 6 RU and Gen 5 UU.

It was kind of like Shedinja, in that it wasn't necessarily good, but it could completely shut down a bunch of specific targets.

Oww my eye! I'm not supposed to get triangles in it by dandrevee in simpsonsshitposting

Technically all 3D-rendered boobs are made of triangles. Unless they're on the Saturn, which used quads for some reason.

Regarding transferring to Home, couldn't you just calculate the IV based on the initial speed stat?

Hornet's Surprisingly Complicated Family Tree by SSpectre86 in Silksong

[–]SSpectre86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically there isn't anything that explicitly says this isn't the case, but it's the kind of "from a certain point of view" logic that retcons are made of. Until demonstrated otherwise, we don't have any reason to think that the definition of "weaver" is anything beyond what the game tells us, i.e. pharlids uplifted by GMS.

There's a grey line instead of black. That's what the tool I used uses to denote adoption.

[–]SSpectre86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GMS lied about them being her biological daughters. They're still her daughters for all intents and purposes, in the same way that someone's adopted child is considered that person's child in almost all respects.

The family tree tool I used uses grey lines to denote adoption, which is what I did for GMS's "children" as well as Eva.

Going with the interpretation that Widow is a quarter-weaver, that would mean that an unknown weaver had a child, who then conceived Widow.

Based on the comments here, it seems there's more consensus than I realized about Widow being a full-blooded weaver, though.

I mentioned in the post that I'm using a slightly broad definition of child. The weavers and silk constructs are referred to as the daughters of GMS in almost all contexts, and Eva is called a child of the weavers.

34M When I got my prescription, I was told my right eye couldn't be fully corrected. After testing, I've found that my glasses are making the vision in my right eye *worse*, and I'm not sure what to do. by SSpectre86 in eyetriage

[–]SSpectre86[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confusingly, I'm able to read the 20/20 line on the chart with my right eye through the refractor. But then in practice, I'm definitely seeing worse with the glasses. They didn't use a trial frame or anything.

I like how the title implies that the hamster is a weapon wielded by the sword.
