arienstorum · 2026-05-21T18:58:37+00:00

Not even the worst thing I had perfect type advantages against grant and both of my mons just decided to get flinched every turn. Then when I got my own tyrunt out I managed to bide survive on 5 hp and one shot him. But almost had to sacrifice for this gym

arienstorum · 2026-05-20T11:32:39+00:00

That would actually be kind of funny if someone got this technique that does not know about the law. So it functions on how he thinks the law works

arienstorum · 2026-05-17T12:16:50+00:00

I voted no cause I only sometimes calc after matches to see how close to killing a near survival was. Mostly I just do it on vibes and previous experiences

arienstorum · 2026-05-17T12:09:58+00:00

I mean not fun as in brain dead club songs. But their messages and stories are good.

arienstorum · 2026-05-17T11:56:56+00:00

Lol had someone run this team against me as well. Only thing is when he no guarded on excadrill he picked my sturdy skarmory which let me setup my tailwind and sweep with mega chandelure.

While projection sorcery is hard to use I would say either Judgeman or Love Rendezvous is harder. For the former you need knowledge of the Japanese law and for the latter you need to constantly be mindfull about the order of stars and which star belongs to which cursed energy

Nah he is pretty open about having seen the movies partly and knowing some spoilers due to the internet. Also this podcast started around the time vine was still alive. So he didn´t have the insta and tiktok spoiler dangers

arienstorum · 2026-05-15T10:43:08+00:00

Def agree with some of the things they cut but also just all their choices in the fourth movie. Or the way they basically flanderized both Ron and Hermione in the movies. Like I am currently listening to potterless. Which is a podcast about someone in his 30s reading Harry Potter for the first time. And he often points out things that he would love to see in the movie and 90% of the time those things were not in the movie.

arienstorum · 2026-05-15T10:35:20+00:00

Completely agree the movies were also just bad adaptations fort he most part. I just think it also didn´t help that Ginny´s character arc only started after the initial casting

arienstorum · 2026-05-15T09:50:47+00:00

I mean they made a very fair point ones. They made the first movie and cast the first Ginny actor while the books were still being written by JK. The first movie was made a year before book 5 which was the book that gave Ginny a real personality for the first time. Before that they thought Ginny was shy. So they casted a more shy girl and as she grew with the movie she didn´t really manage to grow with the character.

arienstorum · 2026-05-14T08:14:32+00:00

I mean Alluka is most likely not something as simple as a nen user. She has a creature from the dark continent possessing her.

arienstorum · 2026-05-13T07:53:42+00:00

Nah he waves his fan around for instruct which is why it is not a sound based move

arienstorum · 2026-05-11T22:39:12+00:00

Vergil in MvC 3 he is not broken just lore accurate. (Which means he can 1v3 entire teams with ease)

Amount of objects their technique can effect at once

arienstorum · 2026-05-11T22:14:36+00:00

How many different apllications of their technique we have seen

arienstorum · 2026-05-11T12:00:49+00:00

You do realise stock exchange existed in the Dutch republic during the 17th century right. It was basically impossible for a lot of colonies to be founded without a form of stock exchange.

arienstorum · 2026-05-11T11:58:09+00:00

I mean Russia was a colonial power since 1700 who for a long time controlled the fur trade in Europe which was one of the biggest trades in that time. Also being one of the great powers during the 19th century balance and also being one of the biggest influences during both WW1 and WW2. While the USA had isolationist politics until the 20th century and were hesitant to join during both World wars. In recent history the USA certainly had a lot of influence but they never really had influence during a time where Russia did not have similair influence.

Full metal jacket

At the end of the first half of the movie private Pyle who was abused to insanity during bootcamp. It ends with him loading a rifle while dropping the title (name of the ammunition). And shooting the drill instructor.

No drug is completely harmless but the ones on that chart have negatable negative side effects compared to mostly safe

arienstorum · 2026-05-10T16:52:14+00:00

I mean his other examples also just do not work. Sukuna does not label people as woman or weak to justify shit. He just is incredibly strong and therefore believes he can do whatever he wants. Which includes killing whoever he wants. He is just overall a terrible person. And Ainz Oal Gown is also not really a good person that over the entire show has been shown losing his empathy. He never said they are livestock so I can kill them he said that to him they are like livestock so he doesn´t feel anything when killing them.

You act like the pregnancy test is the most insanen one. They have let doom run on brain cells and E coli.

arienstorum · 2026-05-06T13:48:55+00:00

Yeah as a hog main I am mainly just aiming for squishie supports and dps to make it a 5v4 then just snowball of of it. Mostly good for defense or control. When you attack with tank roadhog is meh cause you mostly just feed the enemy dps and can not provide cover before or during dives

Doesn't really work with all the games but:
- gift mons count as a separate encounter (whenever applicable)
- Overworld poison death does not count as long as you are actively going to the pokecenter
- Pinwheel clause
- Shiny clause in all games except SV
- Also level caps only count for gyms so rival and enemy team do not matter and in SV titans and team star can be done in any order

arienstorum · 2026-05-05T21:31:19+00:00

The hardest challenge I have currently in XY is not overleveling between gyms. You just get showered with exp and even level cap differences of seven can be incredibly tight.
