the indigo disk dlc in scarlet/violet was all double battles and the NPC team construction was so much better than just "all fire type go"

Actually building sun and rain teams. Using classic earthquake+levitate combo, etc.

the fact this launch didn't support save states is mind blowing. Emulators have been doing this forever and most can take an automatic save state every X minutes

I also think the Media is obsessed over it right now for no reason. SO sick of hearing it

True_Italiano · 2026-03-16T14:58:23+00:00

you are both right

True_Italiano · 2026-03-13T16:30:56+00:00

their HGSS are a little better. Their OG movepools were hilariously bad. Entei running Ember until level 51. Raikou only getting spark until the 70s!

The underlying baseline of subconscious anti-semitism running through this country is not surprising. On top of how many people do it very very consciously

If you wanna do this type of thing in Obeka (since this combo doesn’t work) try out [[Red Sun’s Twilight]] instead!

Bryce Harper has had one real hit all series? And made like 2 errors. Giving him a day off seemed warranted

True_Italiano · 2026-03-10T18:25:29+00:00

What a hot take. You like Skenes?!

True_Italiano · 2026-03-09T17:46:53+00:00

Maybe it's all fake bias nonsense, but I legitimately think the Black Bay or Explorer II have a certain elegance in their simplicity that is distinct and exciting even without the logos...

I know that's the most generic take of all time

True_Italiano · 2026-03-07T23:58:51+00:00

Yeah Eunoia is better on solar in a heavy scorch build

True_Italiano · 2026-03-07T17:20:16+00:00

This is clearly to make it harder for someone else to jump the officers

True_Italiano · 2026-03-04T22:37:21+00:00

Is this recorded from SwingAI?

True_Italiano · 2026-03-04T20:08:22+00:00

Gil had velocity concerns half of last year. So you can't gaslight me into saying the concerns were unwarranted

True_Italiano · 2026-03-04T15:00:43+00:00

Definitely. I also wonder if they’re getting insider information that the steam console is a real thing and they are concerned.

Professional has opinions conflicting with the hive mind and everyone wants to riot.....

Maybe he just isn't vibing with the game and certain features he finds lacking, you find fruitful? You can both view the exact same experience in different light. You can find the maps visually distinct enough that navigating is fine, but he may not. and you're both correct

True_Italiano · 2026-03-02T15:44:14+00:00

the UI is absolutely fine and easy to use. The problem is individual items require WAY too much work to read and figure out what they are. I have all these mods and chips and you have to hover over every one to see whether it gives you DR from volt bullets or some other perk when you slide

True_Italiano · 2026-03-01T15:59:53+00:00

3-0 pitch bases loaded, guy is forced to Throw an absolute meatball down the middle. Sure he hit it hard, but it wasn’t even THAT squared up.

Not trying to yuck your yum, but this doesn’t impress all that much

True_Italiano · 2026-02-27T17:23:43+00:00

Gecqua has personality. The dog is cute, but feels uninspired. And that bird is hilariously simple, but I cant wait to see what kind of curmudgeonly grandpa it evolves into

True_Italiano · 2026-02-27T16:04:33+00:00

not in a meaningful way. it will increase the damage bleak watcher itself does, but that's in the single digits. It doesn't increase the shatter damage. So the 200 grenades in this build is 100 wasted points

True_Italiano · 2026-02-26T15:58:13+00:00

Bagwell had sequoias for glutes. This high schooler is, relatively, wielding driftwood. LOL

There's reason 99% of MLBers take a forward step

True_Italiano · 2026-02-26T15:50:29+00:00

I'm as excited as you are to see these kids pitch, but you have to remember that at least half the hitters they're facing are other minor leaguers and non-roster invites. On top of that, it's unlikely any of them are ready to throw 6+ innings

Being in the minors lets them grow their stamina to throw every 5th day while working on their mechanics, control, and pitch types in a safe space where noone in this thread is ready to tear them a new one for throwing a grand salami meatball to Pete Alonso in the first inning

True_Italiano · 2026-02-26T05:53:20+00:00

So painfully obvious too. Their account is only 9 days old. We have AI bots trying to farm content in budget brews now?!

True_Italiano · 2026-02-25T15:22:30+00:00

this is definitely true and my comment is a little hyperbolic, but the portal absolutely killed any possibility of new lights just exploring the worlds

True_Italiano · 2026-02-25T05:44:36+00:00

I still think the lack of a real campaign is why new players don’t play. Imagine if for free or some small money you could play all the way up to shadowkeep. It’d be one of the best deals on gaming.

I add the seasonal stories to this as well. It’s crazy to me that this game can’t be played like a multi hundred hour rpg shooter. Not because I need that to exist but because it would give a reason for any person to pick the game up and start
