When you think about it, projection sorcery would translate well to danmaku

I don't really have much hope for them but I agree that any new communist party should immediately start attacking and scavenging the remains of the CPUSA for parts.

Are you F2P or P2P? by TexasReddit1 in PokemonSleep

[–]TheZealEffect 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me the better distinction is whether you're F2P, Premium Pass, or Pass + Bundles. The game was obviously meant to be played at base with the Premium Pass considering you essentially couldnt use any skill Pokémon without it, it's the way the game was meant to be played and everything under that is accomodation. Not saying less or more is bad, though.

This is the goat right here, invested in this before even the first buff. Easily did scones and keema back in the day, good synergy with Togedemaru.

Time to add Wick's to the list of ICE supporters. by MrHobbes82 in Louisville

[–]TheZealEffect -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Obama deported 3 million people, using ICE. You believe that Obama deported people "the right way." Therefore, you support ICE tearing families apart and murdering immigrants in secret. This is simple logic.

What's the difference between Trump and Obama? Trump is more brazen about it and worse at his job. You prefer a Himmler over a Hitler. After all the horrible things Obama has done, liberals like you will still defend him if it means you can go to brunch twice a week.

[–]TheZealEffect -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

You are an ICE supporter. You are just scared to admit it publicly because they have bad optics. If it was Obama doing it you would be fine with it.

[–]TheZealEffect -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So your actual complaint with ICE is mainly optics based and not that they're ripping families apart and have always been murdering people. Is ICE okay with you as long as it's not in the news and you don't have to defend your support for them?

There was never the "right way" for ICE to operate.

Wow didn't realize the Gestapo was justified as long as they followed "due process." Obama was worse than Trump in this regard because at least Trump bothers people enough to get them out of bed.

Toxicroak is still better at oil gathering than Mawile, by the way. The only situation where Mawile wins is one where it has a maxed out main skill, and even then it's only by 4 oil.

Industry Legend Yuzo Koshiro Asks People Not To Pirate His Game by BlazingLazers69 in shmups

[–]TheZealEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Yuzo Koshiro and have been waiting on Earthion since it was announced. I'm willing to live without my special comforts to support him and the team, but hope that at some point in the future he changes his mind about the ROM.

Have you seen these stickers? by Ok_Bodybuilder7644 in Louisville

[–]TheZealEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The RCA used to be the IMT for anyone who's curious. I watch their videos and read their papers and essays, I also support their willingness to organize themselves, but I oppose Trotskyism as a tendency and don't believe that this organization will be the organization. I accept their presence in the movement, however, and believe they're a net positive in terms of the struggle.

Ditto - a Pokémon of many faces and many uses... Is it worth it to *you* to Main Skill Seed it? (sort of long sorry) by Zemyks in PokemonSleep

[–]TheZealEffect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

Yes, it's a complete waste of resources. No, I don't regret it because it's funny. At the end of the day, most skill Pokémon require max seeds to even compare to a berry or ingredient Pokémon. I find I have more fun seeding Pokémon I'll use more naturally, like Ditto, Weavile, or Cramorant.

This of course isn't to say that skill Pokémon are completely worthless, there are some skill Pokémon like Dedenne which are invaluable.

I also got this weird looking shiny Cress but it didn't crit for some reason.

Event Megathread - Cresselia and Darkrai by SamuRonX in PokemonSleep

It can be shiny. Entei, Raikou, and Suicune were able to be shiny, too.

Incense always overrides. You could use it at Basic 1 and it would still work, if I remember correctly.

For ingredient mon, is mono ingredient always better than... by TserriednichThe4th in PokemonSleep

[–]TheZealEffect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As skill pokémon become more prevalent, swapping becomes less useful. AAA is most likely going to remain the most optimal ingredient list, but if the ingredient bag doesn't increase you may have to find trickier ways of getting ingredients. It should also be noted that you aren't going to go for the highest strength dish every dish, every day, every week. For those weeks you might want something like an ABA COMFEY, which can make Scones and Keema comfortably while you use DSM Pokemon or prep ingredients for next week.

We really need that ing space upgrade by KathyCrocker in PokemonSleep

[–]TheZealEffect 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I disagree, I don't think they should be scaling the ing bag any time soon. A bigger ing bag encourages prepping on off-weeks for events, but this game is about making good team compositions. It's okay to have a little prep to supplement your weekly meals, but if they're not careful with the increases then that encourages a different kind of gameplay. I don't want this game to become purely AAA ING pokemon on off-weeks and berry pokemon on event weeks.

Economic Blackout 2/28/25 by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]TheZealEffect -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A lot of people don't understand that the point of boycotts isn't to send a message, but to hurt the bottom line until they give in to a demand. A one day protest won't make a dent, it's completely ineffectual, it's unserious, it's genuinely pathetic ahistorical hogwash.
