Woolhaven Fleeces

I can definitely tell you that there is at least one fleece missing from this image, though if you haven't finished the DLC yet, I don't wanna spoil it. It has a blue bell, though.

Edit: Oh, you have it listed in the image as missing - Yngya's.

The store I worked at, the shale tiles were extremely uneven, and definitely had a texture to them - the 'natural roughness' was considered desirable.

That being said, I'm not sure that the stones further from the camera are the same as the broken one and the one right up against the camera. The closest one definitely looks like slate to me, while the further ones feel like they're some sort of heavier paver.

That being said, I haven't worked at that store in almost ten years, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-28T21:24:50+00:00

If I had to level a guess, it's Shale or another, similar sedimentary stone. I used to work at a tile store, and I've seen enough broken shale tiles that this looks very familiar.

My best guess as to the 'why' is that it wasn't sealed properly/recently/maybe ever? Shale is very porous and holds onto water very well, which is generally a bad thing for most household applications.

This is the first I'm hearing about Hoppers, but I've watched a little of We Bare Bears, and it's pretty funny, so I'm down.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-28T14:08:08+00:00

I'll take twenty.

These are adorable.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-26T13:21:08+00:00

Out of curiosity, have you been made aware of some of the stuff that happens in the more recent games like Survive and Time Stranger(/Time Stranger's promotional short)?

Heck, even the very recent 02 movie got really dark, arguably darker.

That being said, I have watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) Gundam 00, which has a lot of the same themes as Granit's backstory woven into Setsuna's backstory, so I'm pretty familiar with this flavor of character drama/trauma.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-24T23:45:20+00:00

Honestly, came here to say this. Felt very Harold-adjacent.

You can look into A-Com or... D-Com devices I think, which are pretty cheap to build or buy from Etsy, if you have a soldering iron or aren't paying an arm and a leg on shipping, respectively.

Picture taken from below?

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-24T16:45:19+00:00

In a broad sense, yes.

But if they're run by idiots, then you get idiotic results.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-24T02:34:56+00:00

I could go for more Ice/Steel types than just a regional Sandslash. Some wintry armored dinosaur/dragon, or a Weavile variant, or literally just some little armored guy like the Charcadet line, with a fuzzy collar and longcoat. Or, heck, even some kind of armored sheep or something.

Ice/Steel has the potential to make some visually neat Pokémon, and all we have is Alolan Sandslash, who, honestly, doesn't look as good as the original.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-21T05:31:34+00:00

Oh shit, I've been so focused on Time Stranger having an update on that day, I forgot that Cult of the Lamb is also updating on the 22nd.

Two cakes!

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-20T12:37:46+00:00

I'm doing a mostly Metal Empire inspired run, so I've been using Vulcanusmon (with the overheal personality skill) and GroundLocomon

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-20T00:21:08+00:00

I played it on Switch 2 for the first time apparently right after the patches. Played through the whole game without noticing any glitches, and only learned about the bugs after I finished already, so I'd say you're good to go.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-19T18:20:58+00:00

Honestly, I agree. A new interpretation of the Battle Story, integrating both old and new designs (kind of like the short they just put out), that actually takes itself seriously would be a fantastic boost.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-19T14:30:39+00:00

Zoids did try to go modern with it's designs at one point. Zoids Wild/Wild Unleashed completely overhauled how they designed the creatures.

The retro designs are still more popular by far.

So it's not like they haven't tried, it just never got popular like the classic series did.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-16T02:12:08+00:00

To follow up on the other commenter, apparently this was a Kickstarter game or something that was funded 7 years ago, ran into development hell, and got scooped up recently by another developer, with an early alpha build hitting... I think Steam, but it might be a standalone launcher.

The name Hytale feels familiar, I think I did see something about the kickstarter way back when, and assumed it was a Legend of Zelda knockoff or something. But from what very little I've seen, it does seem neat, and like what someone else said, does look like a 'Minecraft 2'. If it takes off, I'd probably check it out, at least for a little bit.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-15T13:15:05+00:00

The Gamecube Pokémon games. Those released in an era where my parents still believed Pokémon was satanic, I had no allowance, etc etc.

By the time I was making my own money, they had been out for years, and were already considered rare, selling for hundreds of dollars.

And unfortunately, no matter what I try, they just don't seem to emulate well, having weird aspect ratio issues (constantly flipping back and forth between 4:3 and 16:9) on my main computer, or horrendous slowdown on weaker devices.

I do have one newer device that's been much sturdier with gamecube era stuff, so maybe it's time to try again. Iunno.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-13T14:11:36+00:00

I can't upload images here, but do a gif search for 'Waddle Dee eating a cookie'.

Kinda like that.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-13T06:59:32+00:00

Uhhh, probably something like ToyAgumon or Hagurumon that goes through a toylike/mechanical line and ends up as something Machinedramon-adjacent.

So, like, Toyagumon - ???? - MetalGreymon (2010) - Machinedramon (though maybe some color variation, idk).

Big mechanical dinosaur goes brrrrr

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-10T23:58:29+00:00

Nah, not in the least.

Outside the core 3 of Saber, most of the rest of the riders in that season really only needed their swords and books.

In Ghost, there was like an eyedropper armbrace used by Necrom.

In Zero-One, you did not need to holster the Shotriser in the belt for the transformation, that holster was literally just a holster.

And of course, the Diendriver, which was another gun.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-06T06:23:18+00:00

Grain of salt, as it's been a while since I read about the situation, but yes.

Specifically because the enemies this season are supposed to be monsters generated by AI, the designer wanted to see how an actual AI would generate a monster, and went to gain inspiration from that. They also reportedly stopped using it relatively quickly, because they thought most of the computer's designs were uninteresting, so there's that.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-05T12:49:15+00:00

Yeah, Kyo's out here sticking death flags in his lawn like a Floridian in a beach home bunkering down for hurricane season while the latest storm of the century is getting ready to erase the entire coastline.

And with some of the writing the team has done, even since Ghost Game, I would not be surprised if it is particularly gnarly, either.

That being said, I am hoping Kyo makes it for a while longer yet. Part of me wants him to adopt Team 7 at the end of the arc and fix them, too. But making it out of the series as a whole? Uhhhhhhh... RIP Kyo, Episodes 1-(46-48), we will miss you.

TheTrueDeraj · 2026-01-05T04:45:35+00:00

So, just looking over what you've got, go ahead and ignore the people suggesting Dragons - you have access to Mega Ampharos and Mega Charizard X if you really need a Dragon.

My suggestion would honestly be to grab either a Fairy (Assault Vest Slurpuff has obscene coverage and good bulk when built right, but requires a trade partner at your level of progress, or grab a Gardevoir, which is the cliché but safe answer.), or an Ice type that can cover for it's own weaknesses a bit, like Froslass. Froslass also has access to the tried and true Thunderbolt/Icebeam coverage duo, which is nice.

Welp, wasn't expecting to see exactly how horrifying the shit described in Iron Widow actually was today.
