I also have negative interest in Discourse and anyone who brings it near me will be heat actioned with a baseball bat

Probably going to skip legends ZA or at least wait, the real-time combat doesn't really seem interesting and the full Pokedex comes off as overly safe/restrictive.

I look forward to seeing the new Megas in Champions, a game with actual abilities that would let them have different playstyles

If you're going to have a bad attitude about it why not just skip the game and play like silent hill or time stranger or something.

The Jedi Order also likely falls out with the Republic over the course of the war. We'd see a lot more defectors as it becomes increasingly clear the Republic doesn't know what they're doing until they eventually withdraw from the war entirely.

Without a charismatic leader I think the Republic fails to mobilize in the same way and is more vulnerable to scandal.

End result is probably a treaty that establishes the CIS as a semi-autonomous sector, not quite independent but with a lot more pull.

Star Wars alternate history question:

Let’s assume Palpatine dies of a heart attack in the opening scenes of Attack of the Clones

What do you think happens to the galaxy?

People have already said plenty on Sunshine so I'll add that Galaxy 2 has some interesting historical context itself. In a lot of ways it's a predecessor of sorts to 3D Land and 3D World, both as a shift to more linear level design and even down to individual gimmicks that carry over

That's a neat Volt Switch strat you have there. Would be a shame if someone set Stealth Rock on the first turn

My Pokemon are like level 25 and that's after visiting Nimbasa and coming back what the shit

I'd mostly been trying to avoid sharing types with one the game already uses until now but neglected to realize that mirror matches are rad as hell

You even have Iris show up outside the gym to ask for help with Plasma like c'mon

Eli@Ebisugaoka @lyoncobalt.bsky.social · 13d

And now for the part where the game retreads Black and White 1 for four gyms

General answer: Never seen Frasier (or Cheers though that's a little before my time)

Guy who plays a bunch of video games (and mostly Japanese ones) answer: Never played Monster Hunter or Resident Evil

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Playing through KH1 at least once every 1-2 years is good for the soul
