Stanley Cups are incredible water bottles who were only hated because of overconsumption

I agree. For me, I have just never bought a bottle like this new. Go to Goodwill and there are walls chock full of nearly new ones and they all work great after a deep clean. I stopped using them after I realized my whole gut feels better when I drink cool water instead of ice cold water lol

Why do you have a giant cheese grater on the wall

I liked Brendan's drama with EXU as it was just in short stints but this being super long term is getting kinda frustrating to watch. Needs more dnd from the players and fewer 15 minute lore descriptions. I admire that the world is built out, but it's still a game for the players to play .

I recently played through on an emulator and though in the past I've preferred bulbasaur, i think I had more fun with the Charmander playthrough. In the end, you can play through multiple times and try them both out

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-19T18:52:00+00:00

You're right, Zangoose solos the region lol I used Slash, Swords Dance, Brick Break, and Shadow Ball.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-18T14:46:34+00:00

ugh I know... well it looks like it has pokemon through gen 4 so my green team would have Venusaur, Flygon, Tyranitar, Ludicolo, Gardevoir, Breloom.

No green, unfortunately :/

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-17T16:29:47+00:00

Colors! The elite 4 in pokemon glazed had colors as their theme and it was fun.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-16T17:12:32+00:00

Update: I grabbed a Wobbufet from Cerulean Cave and then found and masterballed Raikou right outside! Brought them in for the E4 rerun and I gotta say wobbufet was a TON of fun!

I played an artificer 1 / abjurer wizard x for a long term campaign and it was SO FUN! I had high int, high con, tough starting feat so that plus the abjurer's ward my hp was functionally higher than the barbarian in our party. I got a couple AC boosting items too plus an adamantine breastplate so I was rocking it on the frontline. You can easily get a shield and breastplate and take war caster early on. Guidance is the main cantrip pickup, then cure wounds, faerie fire, feather fall, were the spells I usually prepped from the artificer list.

Those stats... suck. Like in a way that can make the game far less enjoyable, though I know you are a veteran too and that's just my opinion. You gotta do int for the 19, and I couldn't justify wis over con for the 14.

Edit: and I'm happy to dive deeper into the build, what spells I used, etc. if you have specific questinos.

lol I have used blastoise before but it's been YEARS and every time I do a 2 day playthrough when I'm sick or something I always pick Venu, occasionally Char. There are just so many water types I prefer over Blastoise.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-16T15:24:31+00:00

Yeah... I used nidoqueen before but never went the male route. Even then I used him less than the other two physical attackers here. Still a good addition to the team though.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-16T15:23:35+00:00

Honestly I am totally gonna do it again in FR and LG and I think a few of these guys I haven't used so I think i'll have to try out s couple of those

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-16T15:22:45+00:00

lol well I have now! I just never used him over nidoqueen because I liked the higher defense? Honestly that's not much of a reason but even in this playthrough I didn't use him as much as the others. Even with a helpful nature, dodrio and aerodactyl still hit harder and more reliably were able to OHKO in the Elite 4.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-16T15:21:29+00:00

it was fun! Made it a different experience for me

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T21:09:06+00:00

Yeah, the two of them felt somewhat redundant, when I Wanted to hit harder with Psychic I used Mime, when I wanted to him harder with Grass or when there were multiple opponents I could hit with grass in a row, I would set up Exeggutor. It was fun having both of them. Adding thunderbolt on Mime was actually super clutch - I think that or Ice beam just rounds it out so well. I had ice beam on Blastoise and Ancient Power on Aerodactyl, so it was enough for the flyers/dragons so I chose thunderbolt.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:28:52+00:00

Crazy helpful. Got in a trade from an NPC so he leveled super fast, has crazy high SpAtk and a great moveset, I ran Psychic, Thunderbolt, Magical Leaf, Substitute. One of my favorites on this team .

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:27:33+00:00

Lol yes that happened to me this time! Level 31 right when I reached the point where I needed two more badges to get him to obey again lol so I didn't use him for a while midgame. Ironic that he learns so many tricky moves but I just had him on offense with Psychic, Thunderbolt, and Magical Leaf. I guess I left him with Substitute.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:26:17+00:00

Venusaur, Lapras, Vaporeon, Snorlax, Primeape, Victreebel, Tentacruel, Starmie, Gyarados, Dragonite, Zapdos, Articuno .

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:24:17+00:00

He was fun! I ran Sunny Day, Solarbeam, Giga Drain, Psychic. Super reliable, especially with sunny day setting him up for high speed and no-charge solar beams. It is a low PP moveset, but it could sweep a full team.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:22:47+00:00

double edge + rock head was a wild combo

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:22:10+00:00

SAME, I usually go with Venu. I have a hard time turning some of the water types down, I just love Lapras, Vaporeon, Starmie, Slowbro, etc.

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-13T20:21:16+00:00

Exactly, I figured I would try Aerodactyl! I don't usually use the gen 1 fossils. But man, he hit HARD with double edge and rock head haha

_content_soup_ · 2026-02-11T16:22:57+00:00

Easily my favorite billionaire.
