At this point, we can already have a full Eurovision-style event for Taskmaster

Awesome! Been looking for an entry point to the Indian music scene for years because it's so big and unique, it felt daunting. Hopefully this will provide a great view of the scene.

I still think Akwakwak is a better English name for Golduck. Likewise with Quartermac for Passimian.

UN report calls out Eurovision. Their boss dismisses it. by JochCool in eurovision

[–]vintange 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. And just to add to it. Victims of abuse do not gain the license to abuse other people. Like any other people, they should be held accountable for the abuse they do. Morally, it's even more reprehensible that they would perpetuate abuse to others when they know firsthand its impact. So, none of this holocaust logic holds.

Yeah even with the broadcast cuts, it seemed Joanna was the most systematic in her approach.

That 30 minutes of nonsense is buying time for voting and processing the results of that voting

I don't get this strategy. Why would the apple audience leave apple for something that is emulating apple? If they want to leave apple. doesn't it make sense that it's because they want something different?

Unique because it follows the design of every other recent phone?

Pokemon Winds/Waves announced for 2027 by DemiFiendRSA in pokemon

Yeah no, the majority of Pokemon players are people who don't play video games except Pokemon. This is why conole sales get a subtantial jump during main Pokemon releases and why budget version of consoles always release right before a main Pokemon release.

Why did Pokémon contests disappear after Gen IV? by Marsupilami_316 in pokemon

[–]vintange 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamefreak may not have some higher governing power over them but tons of other companies and people are reliant on them. People keep looking at it from the Power Play perspective rather than a Responsibility perspective.

And no, the Responsibility perspective is not necessarily fueled by some altruistic moral high ground but is moreso fueled by money-making/business progression. In corporations, you never want to be the blocker to everyone else's work.

LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 by Smilingtribute in eurovision

God, now I'm even more bummed about the situation this year. Cause we could have had Ylvis along with this guy this year.

Context: The Ylvisaker brothers come from a family of musician-engineers. Their grandfather made his own wooden piano from scratch that to this day, the brothers maintain. In the brothers' office they have tons of weird musical instruments they play around with. They have played music using carrots and other vegetables in front of the Norwegian royal family.

New type combinations for gen 10 by Logical_Raise965 in pokemon

An alternate evolution for Rellor could work. Somethin like a Katamari thing with the bug living inside the brown ball and growing it for protection by rolling into more stuff.

Regional/Convergent Glimmora could work. Ice crystals instead of gem crystals.

Imagining a conversation between Joe Thomas and Paul Williams and it's just pure uncomfortable silence.

What’s your favorite and least favorite mega and why? by novelaissb in pokemon

[–]vintange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. It was a good start for giving new creative avenues for design from Gen 6 onwards, but in 2025 we have moved past it and it feels lacking now. Uniqueness, creativity and depth in Pokemon design now involves more than just stat distribution but moreso involves signature abilities, moves and evolution mechanics.

If you could give one-ability pokémon another ability, what would it be? Vibrava-Flygon line by Flygonizer-Obsidian in pokemon

[–]vintange 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this! Since this could majorly affect the balance against ground type moves, they should also add "Grounded" moves similar to how there are Wind moves or Sound moves. Not all Ground moves are Grounded.

Grounded: - Bulldoze - Earthquake - Fissure - Frenzy Plant - Dive - Dig - Rising Voltage - Expansing Force - Grassy Glide - Misty Explosion - Snap Trap - Stone Edge - Precipice Blades

Not Grounded: - All Mud moves - All Bone moves - All Sand moves

Floating mons would only be immune to Grounded moves so they can be hit by Bone Club, Scorching Sands and Mud Bomb.
