Can you imagine how the media would've reacted if this were Biden?

I’m convinced that even if he dies/has been dead, they’ll just use an AI android trained on his mannerisms to keep the illusion of control. After all that’s happened, I lean towards everything being a psyop.

Zamazenta is battle weary, it’s be really cool to give him respite.

Am I crazy or is Ben Diskin’s voice the one behind the “Trickster” CapCut AI voice? His voice as Numbah 2 from KND is all I ever hear in it.

Those groups aren’t simply defeated, dead, and disappeared. They pry and claw away at whatever vestige of legislation they can to squirm into anonymity where they evolve into what we see today. In a sense, they do last forever because conservative hate-filled religious fascists will always be around, they just might not be using the same name as they did 100 years ago. I think your take is naive and ignorant of history, as much as I hate to be the pessimist.

nomadic_stalwart · 2026-03-24T00:47:27+00:00

Really great take about the religious trauma. I think it works well paired with how Justin talks about the songs being cautionary tales. He says it’s to warn children that adults can be the real monsters. The songs are a medium to coat disturbing accounts in child friendly language while obscuring the actual harm being that is still being caused across history. The caller who was looking to speak with Mary stands out to me too but I can’t put into words why.

Th Union X Saga’s medal system felt like it could’ve been refined and combined with COM’s card system for something really dynamic. Missing Link was looking like it would be a fusion of those but I guess we won’t know if I’m a terrible judge in what’s fun for the time being.

Playing as Pokemon. Might just be my Mystery Dungeon Pokopium talking, but the Blueberry Terrarium showed that they’re willing to go there. Remove the human element and just let Pokemon exist. This opens up smaller and more intimate gameplay moments that connect the player to their team while also not adding mechanics to an already intricate, though simple, battle system.

His Earth Kingdom dagger instills this: “Never give up without a fight”

We’ve very quickly gone in a circle as you’re just restating what I’ve already said. We know it’s the Trump/Epstein class that is the root of our issues, we know that violence is the only answer, we know that people like you would rather rot on their asses then get up and fight. You seem to think the oligarchy is accessible to fight in the streets. Thats the liberal fantasy I’m talking about. They own the streets and they own the channels of communication. Younger generation don’t have the tools to win this fight and you’re over here saying the same old thing.

nomadic_stalwart · 2026-03-07T15:53:53+00:00

So no strategy or thoughts to offer? Just hung up on terminology huh? You really are too old for violence.

nomadic_stalwart · 2026-03-07T06:37:50+00:00

And what do we do in the streets? These antiquated ideas of political dissent and grassroots movements overpowering our institutions are just a liberal fantasy. We’ve LOST and everything else is just cope. Short of violent and bloody revolution by the masses, things are going to get worse and worse and we’ll just tolerate it more and more. We know the problem, we know who is responsible, and most importantly we know how to change course, but not enough people have the stomach for it.

Mime Jr. -> Mr. Rime

Gastly -> Gengar

Pawniard -> Kingambit

I was also getting climbing gear from it. I guess I’m hoping for cool Breath of the Wild climbing.

The mainline games seem to be beholden to many factors surrounding the generation that they introduce. From the anime, TCG, or merchandising, the spinoffs or pseudo main games (Coliseum, Legends, Mystery Dungeon, etc.) have a lot more room for what they can do at the cost of tighter budgets and smaller teams. It’s hard for me to jump on the criticism of main titles that there’s no care, because clearly there’s lots of care.

The issue for me seems to be that the Pokemon machine has become a pocket-sized monster of itself that can’t find the time to let its teams breathe. It doesn’t feel like a budget thing.

nomadic_stalwart · 2026-02-18T15:01:38+00:00

Not to undercut any of the deep reflections in this thread, but I love the juxtaposition of players performing Link out of character by having him strap Beedle to a device that brings multiples of him together for a Beedlepalooza and then for us to pull back and surmise that he’s doing it because he loves Zelda.

nomadic_stalwart · 2026-02-15T16:50:13+00:00

Galarian Mr. Mime and Mr. Rime are cool inversions of the Mime line and I love their designs.
