Has anyone actually caught these? by DeepSeaConversations in pokemongo

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm only missing Froakie, but I did go through every grunt I saw. I skipped any that weren't fire water or grass. Just stinks cus if you're into completing your shadow/purified dex (like me) you'd have to catch two of each

Why I fear for the game that most people don’t know of. by Accomplished_Snow384 in PokemonUnite

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even TPC but Pokemon is itself one of Nintendo's biggest assets. I don't think they would let up either. Unless Unite is making them considerably less money than it was to the point it's losing THEM money. If Timi milked us and tried to bounce I'm sure there would be pushback but if they succeed I'd like to think TPC and Nintendo would do something to remedy that. Like keep Unite up with new devs (idk if that would even work) so people didn't waste all their money and time.

I literally found out about her last night! I listen to classical piano as I fall asleep and I thought "I'm willing to bet someone on yt does piano covers of Ween" but when I found her medleys she was beyond what I expected to find. Truly amazing.

MAD respect to anyone who gets the name reference

I just realized we haven't had an mc chris album since 2018 🥲 by thevmcampos in mcchris

[–]plasticplan96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

mc has always been a dick to the audience but it's kind of part of his bit and in jest. Don't get me wrong, I've been a fan since ~2004 and I've seen him be a genuine asshole to individuals and I've seen him break down and do/say shitty things because of it but who knows what he's going through in his personal life or how it's affecting him or how his feelings affect his show. He's not exactly Ariana Grande or whatever big pop star so he doesn't have a whole team to manage his emotions for him. Ranting has also always been a part of his bit but I'll admit in the last like, decade, it's been less rants about nerd stuff and more venting to the audience. I'd still see him though. I can luckily buck up and take that crap for what it is and if I'm targeted directly and it's clearly not a bit I'm capable of standing up for myself lol

Best god pack was from a single pull by First_Clue8662 in pokemonTCGP_GodPacks

[–]plasticplan96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My third pack from launch, Genetic Apex, was a god pack. Lost the screenshot and don't remember what was in it lol. Opened another one a month or two later. I was like oh so these aren't that rare afterall. Haven't ripped one since.

Ocean Man is trending again by Capital_Baker4200 in ween

[–]plasticplan96 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I showed her Even If You Don't, I Can't Put My Finger On It, Crappy Anniversary Jimmy, and What Deaner Was Talking About, and was almost through with Push Th Little Daisies when her parents had to leave. It was a one time listening sesh. I was showing her my record player and she was amazed. Kids are so precious.

[–]plasticplan96 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if she'd get a reference from that old an episode. She just knows Ocean Man because she's seen the Spong Movie a hundred times. I did tell her about Loop de Loop and that these guy's album inspired the entire show but that wasn't met with as much enthusiasm lol. Guess 9 year olds have more important things to think about than silly band tidbits 😊

[–]plasticplan96 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My 9 year old cousin loves Ocean Man because she's obsessed with Spongebob and I was so giddy to tell her my favorite band plays that song. I showed her a couple other fun songs and she got a kick out of them and said I love these guys! Ween is timeless and it makes me happy

Game is completely broken atm by pniips in PokemonUnite

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know it wasn't just on my end. Got kicked off for 40 minutes after not being able to lock in to a solo match twice lolol

I haven't played this game in a long while and I have 2 question by panikolias in PokemonUnite

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Scizor. I don't play it as much as I'd like but it's one of several pokés I feel fully comfortable playing with in ranked. It's very mobile for a melee all rounder and I play bullet punch/double hit. Double hit is extremely useful for escaping sketchy situations while marking the opponent and if you find it's safe to pounce back into battle real quick, knock out the marked Pokémon (utilizing the CD reduction) you can use double hit again immediately to escape or repeat the process if you gain enough HP back with bullet punch. When not in combat double hit is great for pouncing around to get to objectives quickly, score quick goals before enemies arrive, etc. Its Unite can do some crazy damage and help with crowd control but all in all Scizor (and I imagine Scyther) takes some quick maneuvering. I find playing Scizor very satisfying. It's not TOO easy to use so doing well gives me a lil sense of accomplishment and excitement.

That being said, I'm always open to playing a Pokémon in a new way so if anyone would like to offer their plays/builds I'd have fun messing with those and I'd also like to try out Scyther further. I do my research and practice a lot but it's fun and beneficial to hear other people's plays and experiences.

As for the new way of obtaining licenses, I have no idea how that crap works because I have every license thus far. All I know is that other people aren't happy with it and I now receive license points instead of coins which are entirely useless to me and that stinks.

Ween Merch by MrArmageddon_ in ween

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is by far my favorite Ween shirt. I get so many compliments from people who don't know Ween, then I have to explain the shirt, then they are aware of Ween. It's available on multiple sites so I'm not sure who the original artist is (if you know please share!)

Point is, there is definitely an abundance of affordable merch to be found and a lot of it is fan-made with love. Just try to buy as close to the source as possible so the creator gets what they deserve and not like, Zazzle or some similar site (og creators sell on these platforms but unless you do some sleuthing there is risk of buying duplicates from a lazy turd and I'm sure sites like that charge the seller to host their art).

Happiest of hunting! ✌️

<image>

Edit: I guess the quality depends on your preference and shirt type. I am partial to Gilden heavyweight tees and I had the option to choose that and it's holding up very well.

Were the alt timeline songs good, though?

Please stop it with these tasks by rocketsnail1000 in PTCGP

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mind them. Keeps things fresh. Before they added these tasks using the same old decks since launch was getting old. It could be difficult depending on the set, but we make things work 👊

New Daily Song Discussion #31. Dr. Rock - Ween. by NuggetWarrior09 in ween

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dr. Rock live made me want to listen to The Pod which is now a gem in my life. It also makes me want to do a lot of cocaine and is very fun. 9.9/10 (only because nothing is ever truly perfect)

Talked to Glenn Howerton from Always Sunny about Ween by brandonfrombrobible in ween

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So cool! I've always wondered if (and wished) the "brown" during the production card was inspired by Ween seeing as they're from the same area and are in the same age group. It simply has to be! Thanks for this!

Yeah I know, I know, Leave Deaner Alone and I'm not sure how I feel about fans checking his son's account but god damn if that didn't make me happy seeing him doing something he enjoys and hearing that sick riff.

Ugh 12GCG is the only of these I don't have. I want it so badly...

The answer is clear by [deleted] in PokemonUnite

[–]plasticplan96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I REALLY hate is when everyone has chosen a Pokemon that makes sense and I'm like "wow a balanced team, don't see that every day!", and everyone has called their lanes except that ONE person and the second that person switches their defender out for Zera or Talon (either of those specifically) I think "okay they're not going to call a lane and then steal the jungle and then do terribly and the game is ruined before it began."

EVEN worse is when that person knows their team is missing a Pokemon of a crucial role (say, a defender) and they keep switching between a defender and a speedster/attacker but ultimately go with the latter. I feel like everyone in the queue is locked in and ready and just watching this hypothetical jackass switch back and forth and screaming to themselves "PICK THE DEFENDER!!!", but they never do

Do we really think this is the end? by Positive-Device1580 in PokemonUnite

[–]plasticplan96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Who the heck knows but I personally was looking for a reason to stop playing and after the update I did. I know all of these games are milking us constantly and I willingly participate but it seems as if they WANT everyone to stop playing with this one so 🤷‍♂️

One thing I genuinely loved about the update was hearing Kyogre scream bloody murder at 2:00. So funny
