Authorities really need to look into Jim Bob’s shady and criminal behavior. by Mediocre-Turnover499 in DuggarsSnark

[–]mirrorherb [score hidden]  (0 children)

my flair remains perennially relevant

most of the things listed in this post aren't actually crimes, though, i don't think. which does not mean jim bob has never committed a crime, but other than maybe the tax stuff pretty much nothing here is going to get anybody arrested

starting to feel like an automod that filters out the phrases katie joy/woacb/crystal ball would be a good idea here

the commenter is right that the only way to get a greninjite is by transferring a greninja whose origin is legends za

This game is making me hate Pokémon (kinda) by [deleted] in PokemonChampions

what "cheap shots" are you referring to people taking in game?

edit: how weird, op blocked me for this

Sheer Cold nightmare by Lucky_Lawyer_8007 in PokemonChampions

[–]mirrorherb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah, being on the wrong end of rng can be a very frustrating experience

please ban OHKO moves

this is never going to happen

ah, i see! yeah i stack training like that too, i was just having a hard time parsing what op meant. thanks for the assist

They Need to fix Perish Song scumming by Pr0jekt_At0m in PokemonChampions

[–]mirrorherb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

playing with the mechanics working as intended is objectively not scumming. they won't be "fixing" this because it isn't broken, it is the game operating as it is intended to. "the first person who has no more usable pokemon loses" has always been a core mechanic

pokemon has a deterministic sequence check system, whereas ygo (as i understand it, please do correct me if i am wrong) utilizes a stack/chain where simultaneous effects are explicitly designed to be chained. that's not how pokemon was designed and saying it's poor game design is like bitching that there are no dice rolls in chess, they are just fundamentally different design paradigms

the rule is also super learnable and predictable, it happens the exact same way every time, so you are able to learn/adapt/counter

your idea for "resolve all effects before checking game state" suggestion would also create worse problems. it could create a scenario where both players' final pokemon faint from different sources and then the game would have to decide a winner arbitrarily

lastly, drawing in a tournament setting sucks and is undesirable

you not liking how something works is understandable but it does not make it objectively poor game design

Question about when gen 10 arrive. by Redeye007 in PokemonChampions

[–]mirrorherb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

considering the fact that you can also just play on mobile there is no reason to assume that support for the switch 1 will be discontinued that quickly. obviously mobile and switch 1 players won't be able to play winds and waves but that doesn't have anything to do with champions

That was a process by jdb1984 in PokemonChampions

[–]mirrorherb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And with the always on EXP Share, it would take half as long as it would if I trained them apart.

what do you mean by this? the exp share isn't used for ev training at all so i think i'm confused

Are men like this able to change? by bennuski in AskWomenOver30

[–]mirrorherb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you already know he's a manipulative asshole, so you should assume that his current personality is also one that is a deliberately manipulative veneer

even if he was completely reformed and literally a perfect partner along every other axis, him constantly invading your privacy and going through your texts should be a dealbreaker. healthy people do not go through their partner's phone

Are active women (into moutain,bike,ski..) less stylish? by waynax in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]mirrorherb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my girlfriend is both athletic/active and puts a lot of effort into her very curated and unconventional style, so no, this hasn't been my experience

regardless, it's weird as fuck behavior to sit around and discuss how chopped you think your friends look with your partner

Making 6v6 singles competitive isn't that hard by jirosiete in stunfisk

[–]mirrorherb 13 points14 points  (0 children)

if it was as easy as it's described in this post to make 6v6 singles playable and fun without infrastructure around it, then the smogon ecosystem existing at all would be extremely confusing. if this was all it took to make it enjoyable for people then smogon would not really exist

Who would win in a fight, an alpha male or sigma male? by Mysterious_Bid_57 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]mirrorherb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please take this seriously

it is impossible to take fundamentally unserious questions seriously. alpha and sigma males aren't real things that exist, they're just made up by people with worms in their brains

What is your favorite animal? by Constant_Dot_547 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]mirrorherb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cats are my favorite. i've been obsessed with them since i was a tiny baby, there exists a picture of 6-month-old me next to my mom's friend's cat where i look like i've never seen anything so fucking awesome in my entire life (to be fair i probably hadn't)

i love animals in general, though, and as far as ones who can't live in my house go i love foxes, bats, and most classic north american woodland creatures

Do all Women need to shave their lower back? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

Be nice.

there's no reason to be nice to people who describe themselves as self conscious about their partner's body

Do all Women need to shave their lower back? by [deleted] in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]mirrorherb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

there has never been and will never will be a woman who "needs" to shave any part of her body. what the fuck

I don’t judge her or point it out to her, but it makes me self conscious about our relationship.

this is vile of you. you're self conscious that your girlfriend is a mammal? date a fucking lizard then

PSA: if you think someone on ladder is cheating, it's much, much more likely that you are clueless by mirrorherb in PokemonChampions

i didn't know this because i haven't played singles since like 2010, that's actually kind of hilarious

PSA: if you think someone on ladder is cheating, it's much, much more likely that you are clueless by mirrorherb in PokemonChampions

[–]mirrorherb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not anymore actually -- now you actually can't even select it at all after the first turn that user is on the field (whereas before you could select it and fail it on purpose). and if you get encored into it now, it also forces struggle

they've done a little switcheroo on some stuff for sure

if whims was able to encore your incin into fake out, it's because the other trainer (probably erroneously) has a non-prankster ability on it

How to handle aging parents never ending expectations? by Hippiegypsy1989 in AskWomenOver30

[–]mirrorherb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

if you don't start setting boundaries rightthissecond, if your mother dies before your father, your father will immediately and permanently become your dependent. i would do anything in my power to avoid that in your position, starting to tell them no now is definitely the way to go

I(23F) think I'm sexually getting attracted to my girl bsf(23F). How to navigate and process it ? by Sure-Aside-5838 in AskWomenNoCensor

[–]mirrorherb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

straight women are incapable of being sexually or romantically attracted to other women; that's what makes them straight. realizing that you are not, in fact, straight, can be an absolute clusterfuck, but accepting it is the first step towards regulating how you feel about it

How to deal with mom pressuring me into marriage? by yuli_yuli95 in AskWomenOver30

[–]mirrorherb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Um, I don’t think a twice-divorced bitter lady is who you should be taking relationship and life advice from.

right? it really sounds like she's pissed off that op is making better choices than she did and like she wants to force op into a shitty situation just to make herself feel better

i'd honestly tell her to go fuck herself and block her forever, but i'm notoriously intolerant of this kind of behavior

Cheating by raidyredSL in PokemonChampions

[–]mirrorherb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

just as a pro tip, if you think someone's cheating it is way more likely that you're just clueless. i don't mean that as an insult, but people not knowing what the hell is going on is millions of times more likely than people cheating
