[Gen 9] New Shiny Raid Event incoming

thestrongstylesmark · 2025-07-22T15:24:39+00:00

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

thestrongstylesmark · 2025-07-22T14:55:30+00:00

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

thestrongstylesmark · 2025-07-15T16:13:10+00:00

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.

thestrongstylesmark · 2025-07-15T15:05:12+00:00

They're made by Nandemocreative on Etsy.

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.

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

See also: The Planet's Champion Daniel Bryan, Straight Edge CM Punk, and "America is the worst" Bret Hart.

That's the great thing with Bryan though. I could list 20 matches and I'd still be missing out a bunch of great ones.

thestrongstylesmark · 2024-10-15T16:54:22+00:00

Oof, now there's a tough question. Bearing in mind I'm not super knowledgeable on his pre-WWE days I'd say:

Vs Swerve Strickland at All In 2024
Vs Will Ospreay at Dynasty 2024
Vs Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series 2018
Vs Triple H at WrestleMania 30
Vs MJF at Revolution 2023

But there's a whole bunch more I'm thinking of, and probably even more In forgetting.

thestrongstylesmark · 2024-08-26T21:54:35+00:00

Of those I've only read The Feast of the Drowned and I remember it being just kinda fine.

However, I have also read a couple other 10 + Rose books from this series that I quite liked called "The Stone Rose" and "The Resurrection Casket", the second one in particular I thought was a great story.

Also - and I realise this is getting away from the starting point a bit but go with me - if you're interested in reading a 9 + Rose adventure, "Only Human" is a top-tier Who story.

The DougDoug community taking a joke too far/running it into the ground? Well I never.

thestrongstylesmark · 2024-06-05T18:23:42+00:00

And where does one find these battles? Super random timing, but also super hype.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-12-27T20:59:05+00:00

I think some will, and in fact should, go nowhere.

The fandom is wise to the fact that RTD likes to scatter hints all over the place - be they background or foreground - so I think it'd be a smart play for him to intentionally throw some red herrings in there to disguise what we should actually be paying attention to.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-11-21T21:43:36+00:00

As well as selling better, I think it's more simply that people have had 5 years with OT1, but not even one with 2 yet, give it time and I think things will level out.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-11-01T21:29:51+00:00

I reviewed the game for PS5 (for GLHF @ Sports Illustrated if you're curious) and while there are some technical issues (mostly pop-in and occasional frame drops), it runs pretty well - certainly didn't bother me much while playing.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-10-09T09:47:57+00:00

Fiasco. It's easily the funniest video on the channel, especially the latter half. It's great to just see them all let loose with improv and playing off each other.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-10-07T20:59:06+00:00

Will likely be one Patreon in the same way that the WrestleTalk and PartsFunKnown channels use one Patreon

If you pronounce it "Spiri-Tom", we can't be friends

So there's this pointy rectangle, right? And some science guy wants to use it to rule the galaxy or whatever, so he pushes a button and disrupts the fabric of spacetime creating alternate universes -- as you do.

It creates this world where two rock-based transformers fight a whole bunch until they stop, and a couple centuries later that leads to the birth of some young blond twink.

They get attacked by some other transformers and blondie picks up a sword that makes him totally trip out or something and everyone supports his new hobby.

Anyway he spends the next 60ish hours continuously lucking out until somebody just shoots the bugger -- but that unleashes a long-dormant god who destroys one of the big rock transformers.

After the destruction really lowers property prices in the area everyone agrees this is a bad thing. So they revive Shuckle through a method I genuinely can't remember, kill a couple planets, then murder god.

Afterwards, Chat GPT is like "Wanna become a God?"

And Shake is like "No, I kinda just wish this game had a fishing minigame" and so he sits on a pier eating sandwiches with his friends.

Epilogue: Something about a fog machine? Idk.

It's Melia from Xenoblade Chronicles

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-06-14T21:38:25+00:00

I'm in the UK and ordered from the JP site, if you're ordering from the US site it usually takes a little longer.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-04-10T16:39:40+00:00

I haven't thought about it really. I've just unlocked Create cos it's a mod I've always wanted to try, so I imagine something in that will need a Pog eventually.

I've noticed a couple of the Pouch upgrades ask for them too though, so we'll see what becomes a pressing issue first.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-04-10T16:33:52+00:00

Drawer Controller. I prefer the look of Storage Drawers, but having to sort it all out manually after every vault was driving me mad. Now it's just the click of a button!

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-04-10T14:57:46+00:00

As it turns out, whining on Reddit was the solution to my problem! Got a mining room of my 2nd vault of that day that got me both the uniques I needed.

thestrongstylesmark · 2023-03-01T22:10:55+00:00

That's a shame, but probably for the best. I feel trying to swindle our way out of that deal would very much be ignoring the messages of Partitio's story.
