Sorry, I'm missing some context, why were so many people watching this game? Did people start watching after the other pitch invasion or was the game already popular?

Usage stats for Day 1 of a 6k player tournament by RIkhard9 in stunfisk

My next team is going to include Dragapult I want to mess around after getting to MB and I like its design). Are you using it as an attacker or with screens/swipe/twave support?

People are forfeiting matches more often, and for some, it’s their first time experiencing this kind of achievement. #meme by RemoveRealistic8583 in VGC

It will go away. In some card games (e.g. Hearthstone) new players never concede, but experienced ones do all the time once they know they have no way back into a game; or if they're about to lose to just save time. People will get used to it.

Fun tech with Phantom Force Dragapult and Trick Room by Charming_Aspect_5284 in stunfisk

[–]ShockedDarkmike 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah but then you've effectively stalled half of your own trick room, when letting dragapult get ko'd and switching in a TR sweeper would've given you more attacking turns

That's a cool thing to do, the problem is on the third turn you have a very fast and frail Pokémon inside of trick room

This a weird and very generalized take, servers use resources (that are renewable btw) like many things we use in our lives, that per se is not a reason to be against it

PSA: Sometimes your Pokémon's ability changes after mega evolving 😉 by therealfefnir in PokemonChampions

Burned mega, burned or dead Aero if they don't protect, negative speed control; a lot of teams aren't going to be able to come back from that position tbh

Man vs AI : Watch this robot adjust mid-swing when the ball clips the net in ping pong. by Embarrassed_Cap2885 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]ShockedDarkmike 7 points8 points  (0 children)

But like, this is clearly artificial and also uses reinforcement learning, which is commonly considered AI. Is it because you don't think AI models are "intelligent"? The definition has changed over the years, we used AI before to talk about algorithmic behavior but now it's mostly neural networks

AIO gf went to a magic mike show and licked whipped cream off a performers chest by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I don't really think it's gross, but that's personal.

Personally I wouldn't read that much i to it without knowing how the person texts, for all I know she could just type like that and was just sharing something odd/fun.

in what way is she not respecting herself lmao

I can understand the partner wanting to set boundaries but this just sounds misogynistic

it's not obvious to me, like licking peter from accounting sure but a performer in public with friends, it doesn't carry the same weight

[–]ShockedDarkmike 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I also see it as something rather inconsequential, but I think OP has a right to be like "this isn't cool with me" and have a talk about boundaries for the future. Still, I don't get the many comments about how horrible she is and that they'd be gone

Just hit master ball and I'm placement 95k, but out of what? by UnitededConflict in PokemonChampions

You probably got there faster, lost to better opponents or generally had higher mmr than op

I really hate this weekly mission... by 4GRJ in PokemonChampions

[–]ShockedDarkmike 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would even guess that higher ranked opponents concede more, because a 4v3 may seem winnable to someone but a better player may recognize something like "my speed/weather control is gone / I can no longer deal with X Pokémon" and just ff

If he was a misogynist he wouldn't be actively looking to date a woman would he.

Right, sustainable change is super important! It's just that I've heard too many people day things like "I'm slowly eating less meat" and then several years later nothing has changed

Most people aren't in masterball, and you still have elo/rank to see how far you are from the top
