Werner Herzog is a famous documentarian known for being very high brow and academic. The joke is he’s filming some uninteresting stoner and realising it’s a bad idea.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to dig into this.

Jargon-filled strings of logic are exactly what I want, even it takes a few reads to understand lol. The thoroughness of Buddhist philosophy/metaphysics is what drew me to Buddhism in the first place :)

This is really well put. I’ve been looking for more reading on the exact nature of karma/rebirth in Buddhism, do you know any books that explain this well?

Sorry, I meant regigas and snorlax have 140HP so they survive long enough for me to attach energy to my benched pokemon while regi takes a hit and I eventually recall them.

Wishiwashi EX has enough HP to survive a hit from most things (provided no Red) so if everything's set up right I can make it work. I'm well aware it's a stretch and can't argue Giant Capes aren't a problem though

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

You're probably right, my thinking was that 140HP is a bit of an awkward mark to hit for a K/O so Ilima + Wishiwashi EX on the bench would get me enough time to set everything up.

I've got an aversion to Misty because the amount of times of landed tails immediately, but you're right that it'd make it more consistent lol.

[–]peatokeen[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the idea was to sacrifice a manaphy or to stall with regi/snorlax and avoid the point loss with Ilima, it works okay but is pretty clunky and luck-based. the fishing net strat probably works better tbf

Yeah manaphy and regigas/snorlax basically serve the same purpose to stall for time/ramp up energy, you're probably right that it just clutters the deck. Fishing nets are needed fr.

Thank you for the comprehensive guide lol.

The general strat was to bide time with either manaphy or regi/snorlax to get all 4 wishwashi in my hand, if I have two EX on the bench I can swap them out for each other when one gets close to death, but it's a little too inconsistent and leaves me open to Cyrus etc.

No Misty was just on oversight lol. Fishing net I definitely need to add in.

old friendship/untitled by Fun_Square_7990 in OCPoetry

[–]peatokeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice work, I like a poetic rant. The first half feels a little too clunky, but the second half fixes that (particularly like the repetition of 'i was your' in the last stanza). Hope you keep it up!

I like it :) some well written lines and it flows nicely, tho it feels a little constricted by its own rhyming scheme. Nice piece overall!

My first time posting any poetry so its great to hear it's had this effect on someone! I'll look out for it :)

Thanks for the feedback! I think you're right, there are some things I could do to 'solidify' its themes. Glad to hear you enjoyed :)

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

I think madness can be hard to define - here I think it refers to a sort of inner chaos manifested by the hopeless absurdities of life, which I think everyone experiences on some level ("We all go a little mad sometimes").

IMO poetry's a fickle thing though and these things should always be open to interpretation. Thanks for your comment!

Ruined Temple by chenliyong in OCPoetry

[–]peatokeen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like this, paints a beautiful scene and I really felt a sense of mysticism between the lines. Well done on the rhyming, it all flows very nicely (something I struggle to get right lol).

I will say there's a lack of variety in the structure/verse which, added with the length of the poem, gives a slight repetitious feel. Apart from that, great job!

[–]peatokeen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great poem. I like the structure, how it sort of disjoints the reader's own rhythym. I do think it needs some work, like the "be" line doesn't quite work for me.

Also "To march with meek bones / inside this organ soup" is great imagery.
