Oohhh... That is very cool...

Chat, anyone know how to alleviate Pokémon addiction? I succumbed to madness and ended up getting Pokémon Sword (+ Expansion Pass) and New Pokémon Snap, increasing my currently owned Pokémon games to 5...

...Two months ago I had ONE Pokémon game...
(Pokémon Violet, since 2022)

I think it's one of the less horrendous stages introduced in Splatoon 3, but it is still a stage introduced in Splatoon 3, so it's rubbish at best

Very nice, I've been regularly watching a pal of mine play through some of those games, and they are very cool, for sure...

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 8h

Oohh, that makes sense...

...I managed to forget that physical copies exist, and obviously those wouldn't have encryption on them, lmao

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 8h

Nice, congratulations

Wait, did someone get ahold of the unencrypted game already? Or did Nintendo fuck up and made the encryption terrible so it was easily decrypted by now?

At least I assume the pre-downloadable content to be encrypted to prevent access until the proper release date

Oooh, that's a very awesome sight... Congratulations on having your stuff featured on there

Using AI stuff for completing homework literally defeats the purpose of homework itself; people forget it's not about the result, but how one gets to the result... That's literally how learning works in general

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 12h

Oh yeah... I'm incredibly excited for Pokémon Legends: Z-A, probably the most excited I've been for a game release in quite a while.

(Having accumulated over 1000 hours in Pokémon Violet has definitely driven me insane)

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 13h

Yeah, that sounds so utterly insane only the rubbish "people" in the U.S. government can even fathom doing it...

Notice to anyone using Linktree (especially if you're paying for it), you should probably stop.

The paid features just went from $10 to $16 a month. That's more than some phone plans and streaming services. For a page. With some links on it.

Why? So they could add more AI features we didn't want.

Yeah, I know of some anticheat systems that outright do not operate on Linux at all due to how open the operating system is
("Some" being Riot Games' Vanguard)

Out of those, it might unironically be french toast; I like all of them but also have them very seldom, with french toast being the most common

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 13h

Ohh yeah, that's quite a good idea...

...My outlier in such a diagram would be Tenta Missiles, assigned as incredibly fun but at most moderately useful

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 22h

The specific individual who is my proper true first partner Pokémon of Pokémon Violet is a very cool one; I unknowingly had "won" the 1 in 8 chance to get a female, and thus nicknamed it "Grashiver" as a moderately terrible nod towards a certain Grass-type favouring character from Splatoon 3...

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 22h

I have many a favoured Pokémon, but I think the absolute most favourite one will always be the first Pokémon I've EVER had, chiefly its final evolution, Meowscarada...

Me obtaining interest in Pokémon was done almost exclusively by Meowscarada and its earlier forms, I'll always remember it well...

Yeah, I personally always accept stuff like cookies that might do tracking, for the same reasons as you; I don't see ads anywhere so I won't notice them being targeted

TheLEGObrick @thelegobrick.bsky.social · 22h

Also I had occurence of being nicknamed "Big L" by the friends because my nickname for that game began with L, which was an extremely funny thing that I didn't know of prior
