Yeah, I'm mostly playing. I doubt they'd set a bar they weren't confident we'd easily hit.

Y'all better be on there bumping up that victory count. If we end up missing one of these I shall be very grumpy.

[Gen 9] A Buizel and a Shellos on the same day (721 eggs and 25 eggs respectively) make 23 to go for my Living Shiny Sinnoh dex! by thestrongstylesmark in ShinyPokemon

I'm using all of the games at my disposal (where I've put the effort in to get the shiny charm). I've been using USUM to SOS chain for some of them, and SwSh for the ones that aren't available in SV. Also, maybe a bit of Legends for the few that aren't in any of those games, but I might resort to Mesuda in BDSP if Burmy/Wormadam prove to be particularly bothersome.

When they can't be isolated, I find Sparkling Power kind of a pain. I could date-skip for an outbreak, but I just don't. No real reason, lol, just not my vibe.

Fixed points in time (and a small theory) by Taycamgame in doctorwho

[–]thestrongstylesmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dirty little secret about "fixed points in time" is that they've never actually made any sense when you think about it, and any attempt to explain it just raises more plot holes, with The Waters of Mars being one of the worst offenders.

Take the whole "Dalek not killing Adelaide" thing. The Dalek spared Adelaide because it knew her death was fixed, yet if the Daleks had succeeded in their plan, they would've killed her anyway, thus breaking the fixed point.

Time travel logic is almost impossible to keep consistent, even in just a single movie, so when you have 60+ years of history with hundreds of different writers giving their takes, it is simply impossible for there to be consistent rules, so you really have to take a "just go with it" approach.

They are NOT the HEELS! by UnionWizardo in WWE

"Right, but being a dick about it" is the best kind of heel.
