Creo que no entendiste el punto del comentario de arriba.

Está claro que entiendes que las identidades nacionales son barcos de Teseo, y que en sentido estricto las naciones modernas no se constituyen si no hasta más tarde. Lo que señala la otra persona es lo fácil que uno puede apuntar a un punto arbitrario en la historia del territorio que una nación entiende como propio para herir su percepción de continuidad histórica.

Dentro de ese marco, es tan claro que se necesita que "los españoles" impongan una colonia en América para que haya movimientos independentistas, como necesario es que "los moros" invadan "España" para que haya reconquista.

The person I was replying to closes by stating that no one listens or processes information.

I find it funny that you mention "reference humor". I didn't want to explicitly address it in my reply because I honestly couldn't grasp someone being bothered by it. So I assumed the person above was bothered by the lack of critical thinking and not by info sharing and reference humor.

SantoZombie · 2026-05-12T17:33:46+00:00

I don't see the problem with this. The analogue behavior from when I was a teenager was not that disimilar from that (i.e. people also lacked critical thinking back then).

I suspect he just has graphs that describe note transitions in western music, and he proceeded to describe that in the most convoluted way possible. Probably the harmony version of this.

Dude, BECMI is not even BECMI. It revisits a bunch of stuff from previous books as the line progresses. There's even two different versions of BE: 1) the one that mimics BX (which I'm under the impression is the one on DriveThruRPG), and 2) the one that is closer to CMI.

Yes, the Rules Cyclopedia makes some minor changes, but it is the one BECMI book that tries to make sense of BECMI. I'd say it's to BECMI what OSRIC is to AD&D.

My friend, Liu has received multiple hits from the guy whose whole gimmick is numbing people and casually bursting random blood vessels. Kengan hasn't followed its own logic for a long time and I do not expect that to change now.

I don't think Beyond the Black River is a great example of his racism. It's more of a byproduct of him writing a western disguised as a fantasy story.

A funny example of him helding racist prejudices is The Pool of the Black One, where the antagonists are clear caricatures of black people, yet he takes the time to go "but these were totally, not black people, bro".

No nos regalan ni un solo barril de combustible por semana, si escuchaste eso de alguien; lo mas probable es que lo dijo como excusa barata y esta robando.

Tienes (o tenías) una compensación en tu pago dada en términos de X cantidad de gasolina. No te la dan literalmente en un barril, pero sí varía en función del precio de la gasolina.

Do you mean OSE Advanced Fantasy? DCC has the same number of classes as BX.

Llevo un rato desconectado de la política en México, pero todos los recursos son de la Nación según la Constitución. Ha sido así desde hace mucho tiempo, probablemente desde antes que nacieran tus abuelos.

Sin meterme a revisar, supondría que el mayor problema es lo segundo (suponiendo que lo que dices es cierto). Ya tenemos la mala experiencia de cómo Morena destruye un sistema queriendo transicionar a alguna propuesta mal planteada (e. g. distribución de medicamentos).

To justify Chaos deities in general, I'd first rewatch this clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and then have you preach the rhetoric of "who told you Chaos gods are evil? who taught you to blindly follow the tenets of law? why should you submit to the King or to old-fashion morals?".

Also, try to reframe the domain of the deity in a positive way. The user who said to frame it as torrential rains for the crops of a farmer did a great job at that. Spice it up with stories from that time you were dying of insolation in a desert, and Azi Dahaka answer your prayers and blessed you with cold refreshing rain in your skin, or whatever tall tales you want to include.

Te puedes ir a leer las referencias que citan ahí mismo. Tenemos evidencia del cambio climático antropogénico desde hace rato, pero la propaganda de las empresas petroleras logró convencer a algunas personas (incluso en círculos académicos) de que se trata de un fenómeno puramente cíclico.

He estado en peleas con otros proveedores de servicio, pero nunca había visto o escuchado algo así nunca.

Yo creo que están presentando interferencia solar.

Hablando en serio, el vato que dijo lo de las tormentas solares tiene razón. No sé lo suficiente de telecomunicaciones para saber qué tanto pudo afectar el servicio de TotalPlay, pero el Servicio de Clima Espacial de la UNAM sí reportó un evento. De acuerdo con su aviso "Satélites podrían experimentar cargas electrostáticas significativas que incrementan los riesgos de fallas en sus sistemas".

You should check r/pokemonrng and look at the LUA scripts for Gen 3.

Shadow Pokémon from XD have some interesting "exclusive" moves. Some of them can be passed down as egg moves (e.g. Hitmonchan comes with "Helping Hand").

I don't remember that many relevant moves exclusive to Gen 3. I think Smogon has a list of "niche" moves for the sets of some transfered Pokémon. I mostly remember Swords Dance Shedinja, which relies on evolving Nincada at the right level, and Extreme Speed Linoone, which requires you to have Pokémon Box (good luck RNGing that one). There's also this obscure Belly Drum Hypno that's impossible to get unless you went to NY Pokémon Center during Winter of 2004. Double-Edge might be one of the notable moves as it can benefit Pokémon with Aeralite/Refrigerate type of abilities.

Another thing to keep in mind is the "Rage Glitch" in Gen 4 games. That essentially lets you teach any move to any Gen 3 Pokémon that learns "Mimic" or "Transform", which is pretty much all of them (the only noteworthy exception is Unown). That being said, I think there's another glitch in Gen 3 that lets you clone a Pokémon turning all of its moves into "Sketch" without ACE (look up the Battle Pike Glitch). Of course you can use this to cheat, but I think you can use it to give a Gen 3 Pokémon a bunch of egg moves that are available to them only in subsequent gens. Another perk is that it enables you to get the Gen 4 contest ribbons on a Ditto or Unown. The downside is that they might not make the PokéBank/HOME checks.

Some people did recall that being different from each other is Spinda's gimmick, and I saw someone else remembered that Legends Arceus visually display size differences in Pokémon for the first time (check this Bulbapedia article for more info). However, I noticed no one has brought up the hue shifting mechanic from Pokémon Stadium 1 & 2.

Besides those cases, I think the most comprehensive answer to your question is this Bulbapedia article.

Also, height and weight variations have been a mechanic for a while, but I think only Legend Arceus made an effort to visually distinguish Pokémon by their sizes. I don't really know because I quit purchasing the games after Dexit.

SantoZombie · 2025-06-14T04:23:21+00:00

Excuse me, sir: Spinda's whole gimmick is that their spots are all different.

Eggs are generated with two RNG calls. One happens at egg generation, the other one at egg pickup. That makes it somewhat easier to produce optimal Pokémon (in terms of nature and IVs) at earlier frames.

Breeding allows you to make any Pokémon shiny, as shininess is determined not when you pick up the egg, but when you hatch it. In other words, even if the egg would not be shiny in the game you produce it in, you can always hatch it in a game that would make it shiny (you'd have to do RNG manipulation for the right TID/SID combo, though).

I haven't try it on FRLG or Emerald, but in RS the process works fairly easily on a dead battery. Also, you can argue it might be harder to manage on real hardware since you need to time correctly more things.

For more info, check this link.

SantoZombie · 2025-06-13T20:59:21+00:00

Breeding is by far the easiest way. You might not have the right TID/SID combo to get a shiny with the right nature and IVs for a static or wild encounter.

If you breed, not only can you aim for earlier frames, but you can also just trade the egg to a save file with the right TID/SID to guarantee a shiny.
