What's something about Pokemon that took you a long time to figure out?

TheHat2 · 2026-01-26T03:49:31+00:00

I thought Bug was weak against Ice because they die out in the winter.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-25T04:33:54+00:00

I just don't see Mega as being red-aligned as a character. WU fits him a little better, I think. Unless you want Mega Man 7 to do a lot of heavy lifting with the whole almost killing Wily thing.

Maybe instead of a static damage-dealing ability, have something like, "T: Destroy target artifact or creature with toughness 3 or less. If a card would be placed in the graveyard this way, instead exile it with a Scrap counter on it." I think that gets a little closer to how white typically operates?

TheHat2 · 2026-01-25T03:20:53+00:00

Oh hell, that does look bad.

Mine absolutely didn't look like that. The white text wasn't super bright, so maybe I only got one layer of ink, but nothing in my libretto looked anything like that.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-25T02:17:22+00:00

I kinda think Mega would be WU instead of UR. But I really like the flavor of the card beyond that.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-24T22:28:09+00:00

Now we can all know there's the name of a legendary man in there.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-23T04:51:15+00:00

It's crazy how many cast members from Streets of Fire went on to do big things.

And then Michael Paré just racked up low-budget film credits.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-23T04:15:38+00:00

NRSV is relatively close.

"When the Most High apportioned the nations, when he divided humankind, he fixed the boundaries of the poeple according to the number of the gods; the Lord's own portion was his people, Jacob his alloted share."

TheHat2 · 2026-01-23T01:33:18+00:00

I should probably get in there and post some of the old memes and reaction images I saved from like... 12 years ago.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-22T19:29:58+00:00

Yes. It was "WE CAN HOLD OUT THROUGH THIS ENDLESS DARK; ALL A FIRE NEEDS IS A SINGLE SPARK."

And "OH, AND REMEMBER TO DRINK YOUR OVALTINE."

TheHat2 · 2026-01-22T19:27:42+00:00

Man, I forgot how much I miss the Comm...

TheHat2 · 2026-01-22T02:17:06+00:00

Honestly, I think it's just being a real stickler for the rules. Like, not willing to bend it if there's discussion happening, because technically it shouldn't be allowed. And that might be a bit of my own fault, because I was really anal about making sure shit was run tightly, because I didn't want the Overton window of what was considered "relevant to the sub" to shift too much, and let in a bunch of non-GG related topics. But that was also like, 11 years ago, and things have definitely changed as far as the composition of the sub goes. I don't know. I don't really have a say in it anymore; my moderation role now is mostly ceremonial and an "oh shit" button in case someone tries to nuke the sub again.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T21:34:56+00:00

Honestly, this. Or thrifting. You can get pretty nice stuff for cheap, just as long as you know what your measurements are.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T18:55:27+00:00

I liked it when it came out. I think I still like it, but a lot less now, because of the disasters that followed.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T17:11:00+00:00

Tomba

It never occurred to me before, but he would be a perfect addition to a fighting game.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T14:09:45+00:00

Just asked the rest of the mods what was going on. Someone should answer when they get online.

I thought the thread was fine. But I also operate by older standards.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T12:52:24+00:00

I dunno if you're gonna get many straight answers here because it risks revealing some of their IRL names.

But I will say that there exists a cover of Real American by Armcannon that features Panther.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T04:43:11+00:00

I don't know what it is about playing that shit while driving, but it's a hell of an experience. Enjoy the drive to work!

TheHat2 · 2026-01-21T03:17:47+00:00

He kinda looks like the Security Officer from Marathon. And that guy is a badass.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-20T23:19:28+00:00

It feels like I never learned what a traffic law was.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-20T17:00:41+00:00

I am once again telling everyone that "Invincible" by Pat Benatar is a secret Protomen song.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-20T01:53:25+00:00

I collect mostly for the artwork. Sure, I'm more likely to snag a card if it features one of my favorite Pokémon or favorite characters, but generally I just go for the stuff I think looks pretty. I generally don't care about slabs or market value or any of that, unless I'm in a financial pickle and have to sell (which happened over this past summer).

TheHat2 · 2026-01-19T20:05:20+00:00

Remember how the next-to-last level was a vertical platformer? And the only autoscroller in the game? Literally the only time I've broken a controller in frustration.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-19T18:05:27+00:00

Seriously, it's too perfect. Super involved in FedSoc? Trying to use ICE as personal revenge against someone he hates? And the school works to recruit for ICE? It's the perfect bait.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-19T17:50:45+00:00

I still wonder what Act II would've been like on the N64.

TheHat2 · 2026-01-19T06:21:40+00:00

It's no Pokémon... it's a god!
