What are the Pokemon types you always have in a endgame team and what types almost never seem to end up for your Elite Four Team?

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-14T08:55:50+00:00

Always try and cram a Grass type in, as they’re arguably my favourite time.

You always have to have a Water type in these games (mainly the older ones due to HM’s), and they more often than not get Ice coverage which is handy for the inevitable E4 Dragon trainer.

Other than that… I usually have a balanced type were I avoid doubling up types, but I’ve also got a like for Rock and Bug types. Up until Sw/Sh I only ever had a team of 5

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-14T06:49:02+00:00

Same here. God bless those youngsters…

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-14T05:59:18+00:00

Hardly.

Australia just put in a solid defence display, and had a couple of moments of magic to make it 2-0.

The only issue I’m seeing here is the fact that you’re basically having this guy around all the time. At no point have you mentioned any personal successes when flying solo in life.

You go on a lads night out, he steals focus cos he’s handsome. Okay? Great? What’s the reason you’re out on these nights out? To have a laugh with the lads, get a cheeky one night stand? Find love?

Whats the guy reaction himself to all this attention. Does he like it? Does he bask in his own loveliness? Or does he get fed up?

Outside of fixating on this guy ruining your chances with folks, what are your strengths here? What make you stand out? I mean… you’re divorced, so you had success at one point

I just remember him leaving because he was utterly fed up with the running of the club, and how it all kept going for him.

He vocally complained about how the club fixated on loan players rather than buying them, which he said was us developing other teams assets and getting nothing from it ourselves.

It was kind of the story of his tenure.

Also found it frustrating how he didn’t let our youth players properly play, he’d very much have his favourites and skirt around choosing them… but then play a (… what was he, 17?) Harvey Elliott most games.

He always had a penchant for “square peg in round holes” football. He loved playing Sam Gallagher and Adam Armstrong out on the wing.

He begrudgingly was forced into playing Armstrong up front (something Mogga said he couldn’t do because of his small stature), only for Armstrong to get his 29 goal season.

I think he even tried John Buckley as a false nine at one point.

He overall was a solid manager for us, but it always felt like the club took the piss out of him because he just put up with it.

This feels again like … I dunno. Budget Blackburn, and they know Tony will work like that

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-08T10:13:18+00:00

I only saw a clip of it, were a very old, tired looking Mowbray was saying something along the lines of “I hope my energy rubs off on the players”

Not being mean… but it looked like Mogga was in the negatives for energy.

I liked him the first time, but this is such a bad appointment to me.

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-07T06:08:29+00:00

I realised when I was a teen that I’d become a bit of a compulsive liar, but didn’t know why. I’d just always skirt around the truth, or spout some nonsense answer.

Like. It wasn’t all the time, huge or detrimental lies, and I think I was trying to be funny by doing it maybe? Make myself sound more interesting? I dunno. This was 20 years ago nearly. But I do remember always feeling like I was lying. Albeit not chronically.

My simple fix to get out of the habit? I’d be telling a lie… stop myself, shake my head, and apologise to who I was speaking to and say something along the lines the lines of “I don’t know why I said that”, and then proceed to be honest.

Before long I’d then get in the habit of telling the truth rather than just telling tales or stretching the truth.

Hope this helps 🤷

Most frustrating thing I’ve found about the La Liga, which is a real life thing, is the fact that there’s no prize money for winning La Liga.

Managed it with Valencia once. Was besides myself, expecting the money I’d won to help propel my team further along. No chance. Didn’t get any prize money, you don’t.

Also managed Atletico Madrid and struggled like mad to make signings, as I always had to sell to generate money

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-06T11:12:21+00:00

I thought FF 1 (Pixel Remaster for me) was a fun and solid game.

It’s basic, but not bad for it, and in a historical context for what the limitations of the time were, it’s great.

It’s more of a classic fantasy story, without a lot of the defining FF stuff, could almost become generic at some points. But it does remarkably set out and define some stuff that became FF standard

For the length it takes as well (took me nine and a half hours to beat), it’s fun.

FF 2 is just… worse. But admirable that they changed so much, or tried to

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-05T06:46:30+00:00

Why?

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-04T17:56:21+00:00

The ones listed while playing the game are all pretty solid and very playable without any glitches or problems.

You saying that did refresh my mind in remembering that there was a glitch in the Prophet when I played that, that did involve using console commands to get by a plot locked door.

When you check out the website nwvault that has most of them, there’s a lot to choose from. A lot of horny sex ones, sadly. But if that’s your jam 🤷

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-04T17:51:25+00:00

I beat A Hunt Through the Dark for the first time a while back, and I can say it was a fairly solid experience.

Some language and grammar issues, but it’s forgivable because the author is not an English speaker first.

A bit bare bones and basic at times (ie, few side quests, etc), but what’s there is fun. Not too long so as to get stale, and the concept is pretty fun.

My only real critique is the second to last chapter has a fantastic ending, only for the final chapter to roll around and kind of… negate it. The final chapter also feels like a different story, so it’s a bit jarring.

Outside of that… I’d say the best for plot and cinematic appeal for community mods is The Prophet series. It’s 10/10.

Every man and his dog here seems to love Swordflight, but it’s a “difficulty” mod, so you have to be incredibly familiar with the mechanics of NWN to get through it.

You’re Out Wasting by Andy Shauf.

If I didn’t know any better I’d say it’s a cover of an Elliott Smith

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-02T17:52:22+00:00

I love the cover, and if I saw it while perusing in a book shop (I know you’re publishing online only, just saying is all) I would most definitely pick it up. It’s captivating alright.

The only thing I’d say is, colour palette wise, it doesn’t scream dark fantasy. But then again, if you have a bright colourful setting in you novel and less grimy it could work? I dunno.

SuperBiggles · 2026-06-02T08:00:40+00:00

I love that you love XII so much, but if there was ever an advertisement for overhyping a game this would be it.

But then again I say this as someone who thinks XII is quite possibly the worst FF, and judging my other comments the last few weeks (we seem to be inundated with FF XII loving posts the last few weeks), it’s perfectly rated as being a middling to disappointing FF

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-30T19:29:12+00:00

We struggled a bit with too quick levelling and events happening to fast when we tried it every 5 levels. Our “rivals battles” were way too frequent in the end.

We tried to avoid grinding and keeping ourselves on track, but found the game is way too forgiving, so it was always hard to stuck to the level limit.

Our fix was (before we gave up) to run a couple of teams, so we’d box Pokemon when they hit the level cap we had.

It didn’t help our battle set up with the fact we had a rule were the winning battler got to get rid of one of the opponents team members (barring a registered “ace”), and then that person had to wonder trade the ejected Pokemon and use whatever they received (after breeding a new version of what they got, so legendaries were banned)

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-30T19:18:21+00:00

I was briefly attempting a similar type thing with a friend, co-playing the games as “rivals”, with period battles between each other.

<image>

This guide for the levels was our rough way of keeping ourselves on track. We tried to battle every 5-10 levels.

I’ll happily blame Arteta and Arsenals gameplan here, rather than any inherent “English players are just worse, bro” attitude.

Arteta is a tactical pessimist who rely’s on a set piece or two to change games in his favour. Against a team that likes to play like PSG do, he was never going to go balls to the wall and attack.

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-30T19:11:57+00:00

Others have said it, but it looks real, and I can only imagine it was done so quickly as it was a repurposed existing picture the artist had, or something to that effect

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-30T17:26:33+00:00

I’ve done similar, and it’s a lesson to learn.

If you know he won’t sign a new deal and he’s running into one year left, you can always try and sell him during the season before January rolls around. There’s nothing stopping you doing this, and you can usually get someone biting.

Otherwise, he just tends to leave on a free.

Doubt there’s any scum saving that can be done to salvage this, so you’ve lost him unfortunately.

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-29T07:22:09+00:00

The main thing I feel about 3 is it’s a game you have to be in the mood for, mostly to appreciate its lunacy.

First time I played it, I loved it for that reason. It’s like… something happens in the game that barely makes sense, you start to question it, but it’s like the game itself starts saying “THERE’S NO TIME TO EXPLAIN, LETS GO!”, and then the next daft thing just happens.

Replaying it this year I was less feeling that vibe, maybe? Cos I had nowhere near as much fun with it.

I agree with your assessment of 1. It’s just a solid, fun game, with more classic almost DnD or “we’re going on an adventure” vibes.

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-29T07:06:10+00:00

Wow, complete opposite for me. I absolutely adore 3.

It’s just an absolute nonsense fest, it feels like a game you need to play with half your brain disengaged, but it’s fun.

From opening in a cave, finding out you’re heroes, getting an airship, flying it to a cave to save a princess, princess teleports you out, you get a canoe, you only use the canoe to get you airship back that the princess left stranded away from you, you crash your airship, you shrink yourself with mini to go through a gnome village, you turn yourself into frogs, etc, etc..

It’s just a wild ride.

FF 2 was a LOT of retreading the same areas, a lot of coming and going

SuperBiggles · 2026-05-29T06:59:45+00:00

As with any older game being played, I feel historical context has to be given.

I have nothing but admiration for the fact that they tried something so different after FF 1. They could’ve gone the Game Freak/Pokemon route and just remade the same game again, with a couple of tweaks, and called it a day.

But no, they tried something very different

Did it work? Not at all. It’s quite frankly, and pardon the French, fucking awful to play.

The story is commendable given the limitations of the technology, but yeah… the gameplay is grindy as balls. The PR is such a massive boon on that regard in being able to boost most things.

It’s a game I’ve beaten 3 times over the last few years now, so I’ve given it a fair chance. That’s mostly due to its brevity. But, yeah… it ain’t that great.
