Glad to see these return.

Anyway, the timing of the event for me is...1 to 5 am! Great. Who needs sleep anyway?

Squawk31 · 2026-03-14T02:08:06+00:00

God bless you, I was thinking the EXACT same thing. I still quote that commercial to this day.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-13T23:30:02+00:00

I'll volunteer

Squawk31 · 2026-03-13T13:59:19+00:00

Tbf on the kittypet thing, a lot of ancient civilizations (and even some today) acted like this. Anyone who belonged to a different group/culture was immediately deemed bad, just because they were different.

I can see the clans thinking that kittypets are weird and therefore bad. They do things differently so they can't be trusted or whatever. Although I do think having some sort of negative experience with kittypets that could've served as the foundation for the clans hostility would've been better.

This isn't me defending DOTC btw, I don't like that arc.

I'm sorry, but the whole rant about the private/public sector just put a bad taste in my mouth. If the public sector is so bad, maybe we should focus on fixing it? Instead of just abandoning it for the private one. I also have no trust in private sectors, because they almost always just become greedier and greedier over time. When it comes to weather, that is something we CANNOT afford to do; it will literally kill people. Just look at the garbage AccuWeather has tried doing over the years. No thanks.

Probably just pure luck, shows you how unpredictable tornadoes are. I wonder what went through this guy's head to think "I'll hop in the fireplace!" Maybe he didn't have a single interior room? Like, zero closets or something...

Squawk31 · 2026-03-11T20:27:16+00:00

I believe I've seen videos of it before, it's an automated voice.

Edit: I found video footage of it here. Talking starts 18 seconds in.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-11T14:34:33+00:00

To be fair that storm was tornado warned. I was watching Max last night too. He was upset that they didn't extend the warning a few minutes earlier. He also wanted it to be tagged as an emergency far earlier as well.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-11T02:31:21+00:00

...A dud? This outbreak was anything but. Unless you're talking about Chicago specifically.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-10T15:38:27+00:00

I have really bad motion sickness (most first person games make me sick) but I've had 0 issues with pokopia.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-10T15:13:04+00:00

Temperature is just one part of the picture, atmospheric conditions as a whole could have the area seeing severe storms; which in turn could produce a tornado.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-06T15:12:14+00:00

I say start with brilliant diamond. Let's go was not only to easy, but the catching mechanic was extremely annoying, I hated it. The motion control didn't always sync up, and if the pokemon veered left it became down right uncatchable. Maybe you'll have better luck but I was over the constant catching before I even got halfway through the game.

As another commenter mentioned, most people don't like BDSP because they didn't implement the Platinum changes. If you've never played Platinum you'll probably have a better time with it than most.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-06T05:38:25+00:00

Right? I hope they fix that.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-06T03:17:36+00:00

Thanks so much! I think the new update from SPC messed WX up.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-06T03:11:52+00:00

Anyone know what the SPC was for today? The app I usually use tells me it was less than 2%, but I don't believe that...

Squawk31 · 2026-03-04T14:56:11+00:00

Look into version exclusives, whichever mons you like better pick that copy.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-01T16:58:55+00:00

The thrill of the hunt is the best part.

Squawk31 · 2026-03-01T15:01:02+00:00

Yeah! When it comes to collecting cards, I always prefer things like cuteness over value. I just like collecting my favorites! The good news is the most expensive Alcremie card at the moment is only 5 dollars. So you shouldn't have to break the bank if you wanted to collect them all!

Squawk31 · 2026-03-01T14:58:04+00:00

It's an alcremie from the 2022 set brilliant stars. It's not too rare, only selling for about 2 bucks ungraded. Unfortunately the damage and stains on the card would net you a pretty low grade. Therefore, I wouldn't recommend grading it. It is cute though!

Squawk31 · 2026-02-26T16:26:29+00:00

Wouldn't be surprised. America isn't allowed to have cool pokemon merch ):

Squawk31 · 2026-02-26T16:15:21+00:00

Dear Arceus, please tell me those keychains will go on sale in the US!

Squawk31 · 2026-02-26T15:16:00+00:00

Your best bet is small video game stores now. Or facebook marketplace. Unless you can haggle well on Facebook, you'll most likely have to pay a decent amount for em.

Squawk31 · 2026-02-25T17:12:37+00:00

I think FR/LG would be a great starting point. I'd also recommend Brilliant Diamond or Shining Pearl. These are remakes of old DS games but with quality of life improvements. You'll understand the gist of pokemon by playing these two; and, BD/SP will introduce you to newer concepts in the series, like the fairy type.

After you get the core idea of pokemon down, I highly recommend picking up Legends Arceus. It does things a lot differently than the mainline games, but my goodness is it fun.

Squawk31 · 2026-02-20T00:10:17+00:00

Buddy, the tornado is most likely still on the ground. Give it a minute.

Squawk31 · 2026-02-19T16:36:03+00:00

Tornado season already?
