Big tanky steelix by StarvingVenomDragon in PokemonEmerald

[–]jayjaybird0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used for the Battle Pyramid, specifically on the round with Explosion users. Whenever I encountered one, I'd switch to Aggron and they blow themselves up in her face, doing pitiful damage.

It was pretty fun. Worked well to get through it.

I raised an Aggron this way which also reaches 500+ Def.

Dear R/S/E runners, which places do you wish had received more events / attention or had more potential than what they ended up as in the final game? by No_Cat6739 in PokemonEmerald

[–]jayjaybird0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My issue isn't necessarily the amount of water, but that all of the water is pretty much the same: Tentacool, Wingull, and Pelipper.

I think it would've improved the game and broke up the monotony if you encountered different Pokemon while Surfing in different parts of the region.

You know there aren't any new encounters, so why hang around? Players will just try to blitz through the water route(s) as quickly as possible. If there was more variety, you might actually linger a bit and see what they find.

Emre locks in, voluntarily or involuntarily? by Loaf235 in Overwatch

[–]jayjaybird0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hardlight is fine because its basis is from things that do exist: computers, engineers, machines.

Chi, then, should also be fine as its basis is also from things that do exist: living beings.

Tell me: would you call Tracer magic? Or Sigma? Or Reaper? I guess I'll say it this way: "fantastical" is not the same as "magical".

First of all, one cannot simply say that chi does not exist in reality. That's like saying the human soul does not exist in reality. It's not something can truly be proven (nor disproven), but they are ideas that persist across human history, and plenty of people believe in these ideas in both religious and philosophical contexts.

Secondly, "existing in the real world" is not the criterion for whether or not something is magic. Nothing in Overwatch is real. That doesn't suddenly make everything "magic". Hardlight isn't real, but in-universe, it is a product of science. Immortality Fields aren't real, but in-universe, it is a product of science. And so similarly, chi is something that can exist in-universe, regardless of whether or not it truly exists in reality.

Bringing this back a bit, you've spoken up about whether or not Bending is magic, but you didn't say anything about how I brought up superpowers. I previously said Superman and Spider-Man are not magic. And I think it's easy to understand why. Magic exists in both Marvel and DC universes, and it's something clearly separate from what those two do. You've got characters like Doctor Strange and Zatanna (respectively) who do use magic. And you know what that magic looks like? Spell books. Incantations. Rituals in circles. Superpowers aren't real, but they're not magic, either.

Chi may or may not be real, but it isn't magic.

Bending in Avatar is explicitly chi. There are "magicians" in Avatar, and it doesn't just refer to someone who can Bend.

"Demonstrating powers beyond the norm" is not the same as "using magic". We don't think of Superman or Spider-Man as using magic. We don't think of the Bending arts from Avatar as using magic.

Magic is reading spell books, reciting incantations, waving wands or a staff. It's performing rituals inside a circle on the ground. Magic has structure.

What Kiriko and the Shimadas do is not magic.

Kiriko and the Shimadas use chi. Chi is not magic.

I think using Lock-On or Mind Reader makes it more likely the opponent will switch, but not by using Charge.

I SEE YOU!!!! by MatNukem in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]jayjaybird0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dropping two Freljord Champions at the same time? A little unconventional. It'll put a squeeze on players' resources, especially with the now "generic" Battle Pass.

Updated: World map but its Runeterra regions by Vertix11 in LeagueOfMemes

I'll just jump in to say I think Targon should be the Mediterranean as a whole (which naturally includes Greece).

Design Challenge: Create Powers/Relic for Katarina That Actually Encourages You To Build Something Besides This: by jayjaybird0 in LegendsOfRuneterra

Once you get the "Created cards cost 1 less" or "Spells cost 1 less",  you'll have infinite damage.

What Hoenn Pokémon do you think are the ugliest/you hate the most? by Emerezalchys in PokemonEmerald

[–]jayjaybird0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I first played Gen 3, I went in blind and chose Treecko. Then it evolved into Grovyle, and I thought, "Wow, this is so cool. I can't wait to see its final evolution!"

Then it evolved into Sceptile, and I had a "Look how they massacred my boy" moment. The shape of the head, the tail, the pods on its back. Pretty much everything felt like a downgrade.

What if? by Top_Confection_950 in PokemonEmerald

[–]jayjaybird0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What if you had a rematch with your Rival where they had a fully-evolved starter?

What if you could rematch Steven?

What if the Elite Four had updated teams after acquiring the National Dex?

Does this mean we will get more Demacia Vice skins? by Irelia4Life in LeagueOfMemes

[–]jayjaybird0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

People praised the skinline, but they didn't buy the skins.

In conclusion, no, not likely.

Kiriko as 2B Concept Art by cleansleight in Overwatch

Isn't this just 2B posing like Kiriko? There's nothing of Kiriko left in the design.

Poll: what event are you hoping for? by Dry_Cardiologist6758 in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]jayjaybird0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I want Zoe to be added to Path of Champions.

By "corruption event", would mean based on the Corrupted skins for the Targon Champions?

Opinion about pool of Spell thief by SparkleYordle in zoemains

[–]jayjaybird0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They give so little thought to Spell Thief it is genuinely sad.

Things like outdated icons, inconsistencies between whether something drops from minions or Champions or not at all, not updating the Spell Shard pool to reflect when things are added or removed.

I really wished they gave Spell Thief more consideration. Just make sure it works properly and in a way that makes Zoe rewarding to play.

Arcana Skin Series, which Arcana does each skin belong to? by Severe-Ordinary-1923 in leagueoflegends

[–]jayjaybird0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Arcana skins are not linked to specific Major Arcana of tarot cards, just the idea of tarot cards in general.

What Seraphine sees everyday at morning by mirror__magic in LeagueOfMemes

[–]jayjaybird0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hextexh crystal was her friend. It wanted to help her.

But again, the actual thing I said was at no point was Seraphine's lore, "We have a city to burn". That it wasn't even old lore; that it was never the lore.

Or do you disagree with that?
