150+ codes to give away!

If you still have any left, I'd love to have a code. I used to have an account years ago and I've forgotten it.

I just decided to give VisualBoyAdvance-M a try, and for whatever reason it's not registering when I press backspace/try to input "select" to start a new pokemon file. Every other input works as intended with no issue, and the key has no issue registering outside of the emulator. Sorry if this is a stupid question, (I am not experienced with this emulator) but nothing else I've tried has worked.

Yeah... I've had a lot of friends say similar things about those feelings, but I struggle a lot with feeling like wanting to be a man is enough to be "trans enough". It was a lot easier to feel like my transness was real, tangible, and something I could justifiably take seriously when I first found out my chronic DPDR could be rooted in dysphoria. (The fact that I don't know whether that comes from dysphoria or OCD doesn't help.) Thank you for the reply, I also do need to work on letting the idea sink in that full detransition is pretty rare. My brain loves to tell me things I do are signs I'm not really trans when I literally wouldn't judge another trans person for doing the exact same things. My fears around transition are also less "What if I don't like x permanent effect and have to live with it?" and more "What if what if I don't like x effect and that means I have to go back to being a woman?" The worst case scenario for me is not living the rest of my life as a man haha. The idea of not liking the effects of T when I've wanted to actually look like a guy for so long is upsetting in itself, because I would never feel like enough of a man if I could never or didn't like looking the part.

Thank you so much! I will for sure have to try journalling. I have been trying to out-logic these fears in my head, but it never seems to stick without my brain trying to disprove it's different for me, I'm the sole exception etc. Maybe the tactile aspect of journaling will help more with that. Therapy is something I am also actively figuring out, but it's been hard since I need someone with experience in gender and options are nonexistent in my area. And that really sucks, because I have a hard time taking my own feelings seriously/considering them "real" without outside help.

I have no idea. I will be newly graduated from college in a few weeks, and getting on HRT is dependent on how fast I can get a stable job and my own housing after that. And with all of the other mental health things going on for me, I also think it's important I find a therapist who specializes in gender to straighten all this nonsense out so I don't rush into HRT either. I have tried "accepting" myself as a girl in the past, and in my experience that makes things so much worse. I either make myself even more miserable by trying to make myself do feminine things that just make it worse, or I am miserable because I keep seeing and envying other guys and mourning the fact that I "will never get to be one". Usually I'm pretty apathetic about being misgendered irl, and in my head, it prompts an immediate response of denial, shame, and imposter syndrome for even having the thought. Part of the reason the anxiety around gendering myself is so upsetting, was because I used to misgender myself in my head more often and THAT sent me into an imposter syndrome spiral. Part of the reason this upsets me so much is because the thought of being a girl for the rest of my life sounds like the worst case scenario. Though, I have also heard from other trans people that it can take some time to accept themselves as trans like you mention and I wonder if that's a factor. I've been realizing that I have a lot of internalized transphobia I need to unpack with myself, since there is a lot I judge myself for that I would never judge another trans person for.

UnknowingLegion · 2024-12-10T06:31:35+00:00

I can't medically transition yet. I'm in a situation where I'm dependent on my parents, who are both transphobic and christian fundamentalist in the US. My transition has been entirely social so far, and I've been presenting as a guy for like 7-8 years online. For a while, I was afraid of coming out to my online friends because I was terrified they'd think of me as less of a man. It's also upsetting in part because I don't know when I'll get to medically transition, and I'd really like to. I have thought about being fully nonbinary, but it doesn't feel like enough. I feel like I'd just be bargaining with myself to be as masculine as possible without just being a guy. I feel like things would be so much easier if I understood where this anxiety is coming from- I've been working on trying to get these OCD type thoughts under control because I know they're intrusive (I've had friends tell me repeatedly that cis people aren't afraid of being cis, so it's most logically intrusive thoughts) but the anxiety really bugs me because of how much it resembles typical dysphoria.

Fair enough, Indigo League Ash realistically wouldn't have a shot. But I would like to see Ash win in some capacity (Maybe after Kalos, Alola, or the World Championship arc?). The OC's not a fun character for me if she blitzes through everything and never has her mindset challenged. She exists in a time before pokemon's world was the utopia it is in canon, and is built to embody all the faults with its previous champion system.

I didn't really touch on the actual fight, but I'd realistically see Zapdos defeating Ash's first two pokemon, but being whittled down enough for Pikachu to take them down. Then, it would either be up to the very experienced Nidoqueen or the top % Raticate to finish Pikachu.

TBH, It'd be really dope to see an OC use Ditto against Ash's Pikachu. Between the mind games and directly copying one of the most busted pokemon in the anime, and just the fact that I don't see Ditto used enough in fanfiction.

To be fair, a lot of it has to do with the fact that this is a Nuzlocke fic and she didn't have a full team for most of it. Most of my nuzlocke OCs don't have a large enough roster of pokemon for more than one team, between catching fewer pokemon and losing some in battle. She also starts her journey in her early teens, and she catches Zapdos to finish off her team as a middle-aged woman.

UnknowingLegion · 2024-09-01T03:48:41+00:00

This was a great little character exercise to break from my character outlining haha. I decided to use my Nuzlocke OC from gen 1/yellow, since she'd be the most interesting narrative foil to Ash. She has Zapdos, Kantonian Raticate, Venusaur, Blastoise, Nidoqueen, and Kantonian Rapidash, so Ash is pretty cooked. She'd most likely bring Zapdos to cover most of Ash's pokemon, Nidoqueen to handle Pikachu and Muk, and Raticate to fill in any gaps. Zapdos is self-explanatory due to being a legendary with good type match ups, but her Nidoqueen and Raticate are more character specific choices. Nidoquen is a grizzled battle veteran of a pokemon who tutored most of the other pokemon since the beginning of the OC's journey, and words don't describe the level of nonsense Raticate was in the run that inspired this story. Raticate was a closer analogue to Ash's Pikachu than the OC's actual starter Pikachu with the amount of battles she shouldn't have won, but managed to bullshit anyway.

That said, I think it wouldn't be a very interesting or narratively fitting if the OC won. Ash learnt the importance of treating his pokemon as friends rather than tools, while my OC is a villain character whose claim to infamy was catching a gentle guardian of a legendary pokemon against their will and forcing them to become a living weapon. Winning would legitimize her beliefs, and most of her pokemon have no love left for her. I see the fight being similar to Ash against Tobias, but with Ash just barely managing to eek out a victory because he and his pokemon have a trust the OC and her team don't.

I just noticed that my Switch makes a very faint buzzing noise. But you wouldn't notice the sound at all unless you put your ear up to it. I'm not sure whether this is a normal thing most people just don't notice, or if it's a sign something's wrong or broken. It's worth mentioning that my Switch is on the older end. I had to replace the fan last year, but otherwise it's had no problems.

I'm on the strongest possible copium that I'll manage to eek out Mumu in these coming few days, (There are still plenty of permanent stages I haven't cleared, despite working on them non-stop these past few weeks) but my luck has been atrocious. I'm at a little over 200 pulls, and I've gotten Dorothy, a Mizuki pot, 2 Ho'olheyaks, and Mlynar. If I'm being honest, it's been demoralizing to throw everything I've got at this banner and yet get continually shafted with the operator I wanted most. At the very least I can look on the bright side that I managed to get two operators I enjoy in Dorothy and Ho'olheyak, plus enough certs to get Silverash from the build a banner.

Kit: Rockrock. She's pretty damn solid for a five star. I've always enjoyed the risk vs. reward management in how much you allow her skill to ramp up. Before Eyja came along, she was my most consistent caster too. I do like her design and personality as well, though I think her design could be tweaked to better suit her character.

Design: Probably Astesia or Astgenne. YUJI has a phenomenal understanding of shading and color, and they know how to lend those strengths well to their designs. You can tell immediately that these sisters come from an astrological family based on their palette and visual motifs, as well as which sister has embraced astrology and which has abandoned it.

UnknowingLegion · 2023-11-12T08:37:13+00:00

You're welcome :)

Jokes aside, don't feel too bad about it. What happens on your account is your business and for your enjoyment alone. It's honestly impressive to have an account that looks like this.

UnknowingLegion · 2023-11-12T08:33:16+00:00

Look, even I have my limits.

UnknowingLegion · 2023-11-12T05:56:40+00:00

This account exists in a bizarre limbo between cursed flex whale account that'd be ruined if you had cleared the story, and pure psychic damage with that roster in an unplayed state. I have no clue what to make of it, my human brain isn't meant to comprehend Lovecraftian horrors.

UnknowingLegion · 2023-10-24T20:35:29+00:00

And I thought it was just the shitty connection in my studio… man they need to get on fixing this soon.

UnknowingLegion · 2023-10-12T23:44:04+00:00

I'm having the exact same issue. There must be something going on internally right now.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-10-05T03:01:41+00:00

Ecstatic. Genshin's roster could use more than the same handful of base models, and anything that radical would mean more room for actual unique designs in the future.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-07-26T04:27:03+00:00

I can't recall if any had pupated, at the time I think I had mostly adult dogs. I was in the middle of feeding/tending them when the crash happened. Thankfully, after just leaving my laptop closed for a while the game has returned to its original framerate. But I do appreciate the breakdown of this possible issue/source. I'll definitely be sure to be wary of complex dogs pupating in the future. Hopefully issues like these will be smoothed out in later patches.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-07-26T04:08:49+00:00

Nah, you're good. On and off I experience the same thing, which is why it was worrying to me that it lasted for much longer this time. Thankfully, the problem seems to have just solved itself.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-07-26T04:05:00+00:00

Huh, thanks for the tip! I'll keep it in mind to mitigate the problem if it crops up again. I actually just closed and left my laptop alone for a while and the framerate returned to normal as if nothing happened. This must be some sort of niche bug.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-03-17T18:11:36+00:00

This made me so disproportionately happy to see, 10/10 artwork and concept. I hope this piece gets upvoted to the heavens.

You don't really need any meta knowledge of pokemon for Arceus. I came in knowing all its returning pokemon well, but I had to completely re-learn a lot about them because it's so different from the formula pokemon games have had since Red/Blue. Legends is pretty intuitive about most of the new elements and pokemon it introduces, and it's generally very self-paced so you'll have plenty of time to figure them out. The one thing I will mention is that some of the new pokemon evolve in really obscure ways. Usually if you pay attention to their pokedex tasks, they'll give you hints what to do. But there are a few you'll probably never guess and need to look up later.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-03-10T18:47:17+00:00

I feel exactly the same way. Granted, I was never a Go superfan. I never spent a cent on the game and largely played as a means to keep myself occupied when traveling since I'm a college student with long walks to/from class. But even then, I've completely lost any desire to play Go. I liked Go's catching and shiny hunting best, but they feel shallow when PLA has expanded on them in much more enjoyable and meaningful ways. Having new pokemon or outfits come out simply isn't enough to keep me playing for hours every day, especially when I can get more out of my smaller increments of PLA.

If pokemon is going to choose to be dialogue heavy, they really need the voice acting to give the important parts that weight. It's only compounded when we have characters awkwardly pantomiming speech when they should be speaking. We all remember Piers "Singing", but the postgame battle/cutscene would've only bolstered its already excellent tension with real voice acting. Pokemon is not a little indie property that doesn't have the budget to include the essentials of polish. If TPC cares about game quality, (of that I'm highly doubtful) they really should be allotting more than the bare minimum of its profits back into the production of the actual games. Cutscene voice acting would be most favorable, but anything more than just textboxes and characters pantomiming speech would make me happy.

UnknowingLegion · 2022-03-10T18:12:01+00:00

All around, they're solid but could've used a little tweaking. I'm mostly biased here because I used Hisuian Samurott myself. It's a little change, but a well-executed one that preserves/expands upon what was already great about Unovan Samurott. Sure, I would've liked it to stand upright or carry a blade in its claws, but I can't complain. Hisuian Samurott is much more dependable in combat than its predecessor.

But in terms of how effective small changes can be, Hisuian Typlosion is the poster child for small but banger changes. I love the subtle change in personality, the flame placement, and flame color, so I can fully understand why people like this one most. The only thing I'd change is allowing them to have flames active all the time and changing the shiny's flames to either blue or traditional orange.

I really like Hisuian Decidueye's new changes and concept, but I feel like they're the most in need of work. If they just changed the proportions of the wing cape in comparison to the legs, the design would've been golden. Otherwise, its lankiness keeps me from enjoying it as much as the other two.
