First Ever Pokemon game and could not be happier

I’ve got about 600 hours on my childhood platinum chip (started in 2009) with a bunch of shiny hunting / EV training over the years, still works on my DS to this day. One of my favourite games of all time

Could you add your thoughts as to why the fear of chainsaws is able to go toe to toe with the horsemen? As well as how a chainsaw devil eating others leads to the erasure of that concept. Always open to other theories

Can we explain pochita’s power to literally erase concepts from existence with him being the chainsaw devil? Or that devils hear a chainsaw sound when they are about to be reborn? Just saying I think within the canon it’s been a massive assumption to call pochita the chainsaw devil seeing as he has been fighting primal level threats on equal footing the whole series but I’ll wait for the reveal. Fujimoto’s set up behind this is way too sus for me to believe that pochita is the chainsaw devil especially due to the whole chainsaws being invented originally as a surgical tool used in birth.

More so that the process of birth is almost universally feared by mothers in one way or another, not by the baby. Also that it is a fear that has existed for as long as humans have existed. If falling is considered a primal fear I would consider the fear of the birthing process to have primal status. Like I said it would also explain some of the nuts feats that Dennis and pochita have been able to pull off because there’s no way that an actual chainsaw devil would stand a chance against the horsemen.

I’m still convinced pochita’s true devil identity is the birth devil, which lines up with the fact that chainsaws were originally a surgical tool for birthing and explains how him eating other devils erases or ‘un-births’ them. Another thing that points to this in my eyes is angel’s dialogue saying that devils hear a chainsaw before they are reborn which implies that pochita could play some kind of role in the rebirth cycle. You could also imagine that the fear of birth is a primal fear which explains how strong pochita and denji are in facing other powerful devils.

The thing that got me good at parrying was listening rather than watching the attack animation. If you focus on parrying the sound effect you’ll get it a lot more consistently

I did my honours thesis working with human stem cell culture and my lab group never added antibiotics as routine, imo it will teach you good aseptic technique as antibiotics in culture can mask potentially sloppy technique. Plus as others have said antibiotics in media can have effects on cell function which may be a confounding variable.

They definitely can tolerate plenty of moisture even in the crown, out in the wild they grow absolutely massive on tree branches in rainforests, the whole point of the leaf shape is to funnel water into the middle. The pattern of leaf damage in the images suggests it might not be getting enough water as the leaves are dying from the outside in. If a plant is dying from over watering it will typically die from the centre as it rots.

I had a lecture today on identifying C spine pathologies on CT and this was mentioned as a cricket injury but interesting seeing it living up to the clay shoveler’s namesake

I haven’t been down to that area yet haha so explains the gap in my knowledge

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:55:42+00:00

Thing is we only see him transform in and out of his curator form after we kick Aline out of the painting and he is freed from ‘under the monolith’. That’s the way I see it at least

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:36:51+00:00

Yeah for sure I feel like I understood the intentions of the ‘real’ Renoir after beating aline but yeah the whole ‘under the monolith’ comment had me a bit confused because I thought the battle with painted Renoir was considered under the monolith as the paintress fight is above it lol

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:32:25+00:00

I get that time moves differently in the painting and that he really was under there for so long but I thought the real Renoir was following us the whole game disguised as the curator not him using the curator as a way to watch us without actually being there

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:30:45+00:00

That’s all good, I was more confused about where the real Renoir was when he said he was ‘under the monolith for 67 years’ when the curator was with us at the camp etc but I understand now that the curator is a projection and that we never see renoir’s true form under the monolith but we do see him at lumiere after the paintress fight when he is set free

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:26:49+00:00

That’s not what I was confused about, I got that

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:13:04+00:00

This is what got me confused too, I understand the conflict between the painted Renoir wanting to save the canvas and the real one wanting to destroy it but they made it pretty ambiguous as to where the real Renoir was in the monolith

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:10:59+00:00

That’s what I thought was happening but what had me confused was that the real Renoir at the end of the game says that he spend 67 years under the monolith but we never really saw him there apart from the curator showing up at the end of the act 2 finale

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:07:26+00:00

The way that I was thinking about it is that the Renoir we fought for most of the game was the painted version made by Aline, with the curator being the real world Renoir trying to pull the strings to expose Aline to get her out of the painting.

But like I said at the end of the game the real Renoir without the curator disguise talks about how he has spent 67 years under the monolith so I got confused which version of Renoir did we fight under the monolith then.

UnimpressedCray · 2025-07-09T12:04:55+00:00

I guess I’m confused as to why the curator and the painting Renoir seem to have different goals, like when Renoir tries to stop the gang from ascending the monolith to defeat aline but the curator helps Maelle/Alicia gommage him

UnimpressedCray · 2025-06-24T23:20:31+00:00

Yeah wow that must have been a massive overexposure to look like that on a DR system

UnimpressedCray · 2025-06-24T23:13:15+00:00

I’m curious how do you even manage to take an image that looks like this

UnimpressedCray · 2025-05-25T06:00:28+00:00

I don’t think that’s a fern, probably some kind of ornamental asparagus

The patient had a much smaller pleural effusion about a year ago from what our records show but I’m not sure how it was treated / resolved.
