  • Working in putting together my Pokemon Scarlet living dex, sans Violet exclusive singletons. I’m pretty close - need to nab another color of Minor and a couple pokemon that are genderless, and thus not breedable. I also have to complete some more group BBQs, for those legendaries. I’m deviating a bit to put together a couple of raiders to take on Mightiest Tyranitar, first, though.



  • I was 9 when the anime first aired in the US, in 1998, and was hooked almost immediately. I got a GameBoy Color and Pokemon Red for Christmas, along with enough money to go buy Pokemon Blue the day after. I’ve purchased and played at least one game from every generation since - one of my favorite collections! I’m actually working on figuring out how best to introduce my son to the game, now - I want to play through some iteration of every generation with him if I can manage it.









  • Yeah - it really caught me off guard. After getting stomped by a couple of the Kitakami Ogre Club members, I decided to build a new, EV-trained team, which I don’t generally do. I assumed, based on the levels in Kitakami, that we would be at around 80, but that unfortunately put me over leveled. The double battle surprise caught me off guard, but my level difference allowed me to out-muscle pretty much everyone. Until I got to the steel type E4 - she and her very unexpected strategy almost completely wrecked me. Wellspring Mask Ogrepon was my last fighter, and just barely managed to take out her last 2 mons - it was wild.


  • Still slowly working on the second half of the Pokemon Scarlett DLC, The Indigo Disk. I’ve really enjoyed show rolling these - spending a bunch of time just wandering around to see what Pokemon show up (especially in the terrarium), doing a bunch of random Tera Raids, and building EV trained teams. I’ve even caught 3 or 4 half-odds shinies as I’ve been wandering.

    I am also working on my first couple games of Civilization 7. So far, I’m really enjoying it. Yeah, there are information presentation issues and a couple bugs, but I expected all of that when I bought it. This is a Civ title in launch, after all - 5 & 6 launched basically the same way. 7 does have some more issues with the UI than was normal previously, but that obviously stems from it being designed to support consoles. I fully expect those to mostly be ironed out in the next few months




  • I’m working on a few games right now, but I have a 4-month old and very limited time.

    I’m in the middle of the Pokemon Scarlet DLC, and what to finish that up

    I’ve started a new farm in Stardew Valley because it’s really easy to play for 5 or 10 minutes and then put down. I haven’t played yet with 1.6, so I’m excited to see what’s new.

    I’ve also started gathering the supplies to start a new build in Minecraft, which I really want to make some progress on






  • I’m hoping the op was purely going for comedic effect, cuz saying all three wanted “freedom and equality” is pretty far off the mark

    Amon was hiding behind a message of “freedom and equality” in a blatant power grab, trying to establish himself as the only bender remaining, and thus nigh invincible

    Unalaq didn’t want “freedom and equality” - he was like the people who think we should fix global warming by killing all humans. His only redemption is that his extreme perspective was potentially heavily influenced by Vaatu, but that seems a bit of a stretch…

    And while you could argue that Zaheer and the red lotus were for “freedom and equality”, it was by equally murdering anyone they didn’t like. Much like Kuvira, it was “I know better than everyone else, and thus must force my opinion on the rest of the world through rank violence.”

    And while I agree that Kuvira was an awful dictator and despot, comparing her to Hitler is overdoing it. Could she have gotten there if unchecked and given the correct pressures? Maybe. I highly doubt Hitler would ever have acknowledged his wrongdoing and tried to atone, though.
