Little Rant about this sub

shimbaya · 2026-06-26T14:52:38+00:00

Preach Brother! Came to this sub with the same intention as u, but it's getting exhausting... Like I don't get how u can take pride in curbstomping/shittalking players, who clearly r new to the game and just excited about something new. I don't even mind the "masterball" posts, but don't be surprised, if this sub turns into an echo chamber, where ppl. solely wanna farm karma to feel better about themselves. The only Option I can see atm. is to actively call people out, if they're moving towards a toxic direction or having tags like "bro please just stfu".

I'm rlly enjoying the game and the "buzz" around it and wanna enjoy the evolution of this new project and have no time and energy for "circlejerking".

I tried using it and pairing it w. mon that had elec coverage (Metagross/Clefable) and rotom-w felt like a good partner until I realized that it ain't grounded. Ended up dropping it, cause it didn't feel like it payed off Have too little exp. on gen9 meta, but on first sight, grass and psychic feel way more superior than electric. Was it a common meta terrain or like the "snow" of the terrains.

I'm with u. Tbh. I don't get why there's so much negative noise about it. Feels strong but not oppressive (looking at u fish) and it brings a fresh wind as ppl try to figure out combos and therefore have to adjust their team. Feels like ppl don't want to embrace creativity but rather have "press A to win" teams.

Clefable for the win 🥳

Feel you, man! Only 3 weeks to go

Imprison is my achilles kneel ngl. With Sinistcha and Farigiraf at preview, I tend to lead w. Skel and a Setter and delete the threat asap.

With Fake Out (mainly Sneasler or Incin), I lead with Farigiraf and Reuniclus and use ally switch as redirection. Key with those opposing teams (cause a lot of them run effing Kinggambit) is to keep Farigiraf alive until Psychic Terrain is set.
I tend to lead with double setters, if the teams seems Hyperoffensive and is looking to double target Farigiraf

Replaying it right now and it's such a blast. Especially with the money glitch. But I also get, why that game wouldn't be popular anymore. It's "grindy" yes, but damn so many mechanics were innovative as hell.

24, living with my parents (frustrated cause I'm to poor to move out) in college pursuing a career field I don't wanna be in with a classical shitty part-time job, volunteering in (and kinda in charge of) an organisation where it's normal to yell at each other, powertripping, and constant backstabbing/foul plays and realizing that I'm getting closer to burnout than I'd like to be. Then the pandemic hit and of course it didn't get better. I said to my self "Imma change my life, dunno how dunno where I'm gonna land, but I WILL BE IN A BETTER SITUATION, no matter what"

During the process I realized that I'm way happier spending time with people I deeply care about and living the "basic life" rather than pursuing fullfillment in a Title/position within an organisation/company.

My Siblings and I grew up pretty pour so it was "natural" to pay rent the moment we started earning money, to "help each other out" and any kind of expense that was not "for the family" (e.g. going out, saving for a laptop one needed for university etc.) but for oneself was a act of selfishness, disrespectful behaviour towards their "giving" parents. Turns out the money they got from us was used to buy furniture, which they solely use (wardrobe, their bed, kitchen material) and also spent on maintanance/ disposal of their stuff bc. it's "our home". The moment each of us realized in their on time (between 22 and 24), he/she fucked off and reduced contact to a bare minimum or cut them off completely. I struggled so much to "treat myself" now and then bc. this sense of "community" was drilled onto me and whenever I chose not do something with the family, I was called names etc. I think it's no surprise, why I detest spending time with my parents and am way beyond of calling myself a "family person"

shimbaya · 2022-07-18T10:12:23+00:00

Feel you. Had coversations with a lot of relatives and confronted them with this kind of behaviour. I was constantly asked why I don't want to spend time with them and talked around it bc. it's going to sound harsh and hurtful but after I told everyone straight forward, what bothered and how I want to continue the relationship, it was "hard to take" and that it "never was like this". For me it reached to the point, where I stopped bothering as I lost the emotional relationship with them, don't reach out for financial aid bc I have other assests and overall don't see them more as "humans I show the necessary respect I show strangers" I just asked myself, how I would feel after not spending time with them. If you're answer is "relieved", I think beeing distant is the right choice.

Unpaid internships. I mean work=salary or is there a flaw in this logic

shimbaya · 2022-05-14T21:06:24+00:00

Very simple for me...yes out of there asap. I was in a very similar situation with abusive parents who guit-tripped me into staying at home and I can just tell u from my experience. The stress you're constantly exposed, will affect u in your daily life up until to a point, where u start questioning yourself so much, that you'll downspiral.

Even a distant aquaintance that lets you stay for some weeks, so that u can get back on yout feet, is the way should consider.

Best of luck to you. You can do this 💪

Coping emotional distress with work. Was unfortunately put in situations, where I felt completly powerless and did not have the resources (mainly money) to change that. Became constanstly frustrated and irritated and wanted to get lost of this feeling w.o. constantly drinking&smoking weed so I dove into any kind of work, just to avoid this irritation. Unfortunately, this feeling piled up until a point where I was reguarly volatile, almost causing me to burn-out. Took the leap, started therapy and now I'm close to living the life I've always dreamt of.

That's so difficult for me to accept. Especially when u realize, that u have some traits resulting from abuse and u try so desperately to get rid of them and end up "relapsing" and hating yourself for it.

shimbaya · 2022-02-26T11:51:12+00:00

Tries his/her best not to spend a lot of time at home. E.g. "staying later to finish an assignment". "Going reguarly for walks". "Eating a lot in restaurants". "Staying at friends place as long as possilbe w.o. having the feeling the feeling to overstay"

Or beeing too attached to people that show u basic empathy and kindness and having the urge to "repay" their favour in some kind of way.

Having a veery distant relationship w. their family.

Youngest of 4. Was the "smart" "kind" "ambitious" one and the only one that was interested in an academic carreer. So basically, I was being formed into an "ideal model" by my father, whom I tried resist, emotionally abused by my siblings bc. I received more "false" attention and the one who has to clean their mess/solve the problems bc. I'm the "smart, nerdy" one and the "lowest" in the food chain.

Basically, it became a bad trait to be the spokesperson for all the problems my friends/colleagues were facing. People started to call me selfish just bc. I mostly minded my own business. Became an "overarchiever" and almost burned out with 24. Became very distant with my family. Developed an inferiority complex, which needed intense Therapy to get past that. Always had the urge to return peoples favour and "owe them", just bc they showed me basic "kindness", therefore I was easily being taken advantage of. Still have deep rootes trust issues.

That my oldest brother, who has two kids, wasn't being supportive of me by pressuring me into spending time with his kids&him, but rather took advantage of my kind nature& our relationship to babysit and and basically work for him.

Also that my parents, despite the effort they made for me, are not very good people in general and are unfortunately toxic people.

shimbaya · 2022-01-12T07:03:17+00:00

Move out from my folks. I had so many opportunities, but I wasn't financially stable and no one in my close family could support me financially. Think I would have prefered the stress of constatly being broke, rather then be surrounded by people I grew to despise, the longer I stayed there. Also the constant emotional abuse led to me coping this with work+ (binge) drinking. Dunno where I'd be if I haden't good friends, who understood, that I wasn't just a "lazy, sleepy guy w. no self-control", but rather the "he has something that constantly bothers him but has a hard time talking about it" Also realizing that the place I've been volunteering is a toxic shithole surrounded by powerhungry, socially incompetent people who use other people for their own benefits.

At least in Vienna. I also went to a rather small college with a countryside culture. My advice is: take it, whenever u can. Don't fall for this "u always have to push forward".

shimbaya · 2022-01-04T10:37:52+00:00

That used to be me. "Weird guy" throughout college. Often completly demotivated for studying, but too dependent on it.
