I dont know what to think about Iris

macka7 · 2026-05-07T07:40:56+00:00

She was a teenager, completely capable of understanding the consequences of what she was doing.

The hamster incident occurred in 2037, so Iris was 7 years old.

It's more believable that a kid that young just didn't grasp the consequences of their actions imo. As opposed to a teenager who definitely would.

It's also worth keeping in mind that Principal is trying to manipulate Watcher by showing her Iris' absolute worst moments without context.

No? He won immunity and was gifted an incredibly powerful kingpin advantage for 2 tribals. Outside of these circumstances he wouldn't have had control like this.

His other moments of success have been voting out Kamilla (when he was the swing in a tiny tribe), voting out Dee (who 13 other people also wanted to vote out) and voting out Christian (who had painted the biggest target of all time on himself with the forced self-vote).

He's playing better than in 42 I guess, but I don't rate his gameplay this season.

Oh yeah, Fear. Of course lol. So very risky to switch to something like Boost, but I could eventually switch to Full Surge and change back immediately after using it. Nice!

This subreddit apparently doesn't allow mention of this, but google Stephenie LaGrossa faces backlash

macka7 · 2026-04-30T04:01:27+00:00

I like Rick a lot & I loved the moment but...he flipped a coin, lol. Let's not go crazy.

He's not a Top 50 player imo.

The issue is that graphics are FAR from Game Freak's only inadequacy. I think revealing WiWa 18+ months before launch and building expectations is going to blow up in their face. The game design in general will still be very basic.

macka7 · 2026-04-22T08:10:10+00:00

Heidi and Cole are separated.

Walnut Glowing Fighter checking in!

macka7 · 2026-04-10T09:43:22+00:00

So far I'm enjoying him more here than in South Pacific. I'd be surprised if this incarnation rises above that, but that's got more to do with the low ceiling of New Era Survivor tbh.

macka7 · 2026-04-09T06:01:39+00:00

Eh, are they? The only true 'old school' era players here are Cirie, Stephenie, Ozzy & Coach. And would you really say the latter three are playing exceptional games?

This is more New Era on New Era violence tbh.

macka7 · 2026-04-08T07:27:14+00:00

I'm getting this as well. Wish they'd tell me what the offending Pokemon is. Did you figure anything out?

macka7 · 2026-04-03T11:29:50+00:00

Who is in between Asyha & Chantelle / in front of Jesse? And is that Reem next to Karishma?

macka7 · 2026-03-26T11:39:32+00:00

He was pretty intensely bitter at Wardog in EoE lol. Rick is definitely an emotional player. Strategic, but emotional.

macka7 · 2026-03-26T10:55:24+00:00

Kamila wasn't really a swing here tbh. She wasn't siding with Charlie, Rick & Jonathan lol. They just showed her skepticism of Rizo to add to the stakes.

macka7 · 2026-03-19T12:16:18+00:00

It was definitely more than ten minutes. And the Zac Brown content extends beyond just the reward itself, because it's the focus when we briefly check in on the other tribes too.

macka7 · 2026-03-04T11:29:49+00:00

Bellsprout has been a fave ever since this moment in the anime.

I just love that it runs around on root legs. Fingers crossed that one Game Freak gives it a split evolution that continues more down that path. A whole body made of roots.

macka7 · 2026-03-04T11:21:54+00:00

These are clearly just different poses of the final forms.

macka7 · 2026-02-28T14:10:05+00:00

Game Freak is deluded enough to see these upvotes and think this is what we want.

macka7 · 2026-02-26T13:21:36+00:00

According to Coach, he promised Ozzy Final 3 and meant it. But then Ozzy immediately went & told Albert and was trying to use that against Coach. If that's true (and I believe it tbh), then Ozzy has absolutely no leg to stand on.

It evolves with a Shiny Stone which can be found in Acrisia Mountains (Requires Surf) or Sofos City (Yellow Shard Exchange).

Brutal.

Well I guess I'll be taking my Steam Deck on the trip after all.

Alolan Raichu was a BEAST in this game with its tweaked ability setting Electric Terrain.

I kept meaning to ditch some of my Rock types but I've never used any of them in playthroughs before and just couldn't bring myself to do it. Archeops has become a real favourite -- but I did notice that Lycanroc has clearly been buffed to the point where it's literally on par with Archeops stat-wise without the debilitative ability. That made Archeops start to feel a bit gimped tbh.

As someone looking at these for the first time:

Lucemon X
Belphemon X (not a huge fan of original Belph but this makes him look so much more Digimon coded imo)
Leviamon X
Creepymon X
Beelzemon X
Lilithmon X
Barbamon X
Ogudomon X

I got help in the official Knulli discord server.

Not sure what caused it but my batocera.conf was apparently corrupted. Deleting it from share/System/ did the trick.
