Global warming causes weather events to intensify. >Fall and spring< are dying first. While there will be more mild winters as it goes, when we do get winters they will come with record lows and record snowfall -like that one in Texas.

As winters die out, (wet season) Hurricane season will lengthen, and then we will lose winter as everything becomes more…tropical. The world will shift to what the tropics are used to - hot season and rainy season. With warming powering them, hurricanes will be monsterously large.

Microsoft owns Guitar Hero

Harmonix owns Rock Band. And Epic Games owns Harmonix. Fortnite Festival is (unfortunately) the spiritual successor you mentioned, except you gotta buy every song because of course. (Free players have 5 tracks they get to do for free but if you want a decent library you gotta start buying em from the shop)

Clone Hero is the alternative

I think someone once told me its about charge backs. People will pay up for hours and hours of content (more for addicts) and then issue a chargeback, or otherwise say their card was stolen (how dare you insinuate I’m into that fetish! Type shit) and because there is no physical product to seize, the company is left with repeatedly eating investigation costs into fraudulent porn addicts.

E: I’m not judging anyone’s porn content, idgaf what you smack or flick to. Merely an observation of people not realizing how much they will charge their CC until statement time, and freak out and then chargeback, making the company susceptible to puritanical influence because “those damn porn users” keep costing the company money.

I dont understand, Luigi is innocent, he was playing Mouse Trap board game with me at the alleged time.

Obligatory stranger things iconic “indistinct squelching”

Same, when the app stopped I looked for a new place to call proper home

Apparently Wartortle’s fluffy tail is based on a mythical turtle with a seaweed tail, for having lived a thousand years. Not sure about his ears. (Also some promo artwork miscolors the fluff AS ears, but theyre supposed to be the same off-blue as his tail)

Not sure why artistically he loses that moving up to Blastoise, but it follows the evolutionary theme of consuming the tail for energy (kind of like tadpoles and their tail) and using that energy to create his pressure washers. If anything, Squirtl show have a more apparent tail to convey the presence of such, to intentionally draw attention to its consumption later.

It’s hard to beat those cannons and smug face knowing how powerful it is. All that fluff comes out of nowhere on Squirtle>Wartortle then…disappears again on Blastoise?

Pikachu exists like Magmar, and I would say is in the same camp as Golbat where a Baby was added later so the pokemons design stands on its own.

Pre-evo baby pokemon generally do not count towards these because half of everyone forgets them (other than pichu) - they tend to just be Dex filler you forget exists in a box in the games. I don’t think they even print baby pokemon in the cards anymore because how non-necessary they are

Middle evos tend to be…lackluster. The ones that are just upgrades from the basic, a-b-c like Starters and the Generational Bug. Exceptions like Haunter, Dragonair, exist where the middle evolution stands out from the final form. Last major category is have unique in all 3, because an evo was added later, like Golbat to Crobat and Rhydon to Rhyperior.

The oddest one out is ones where people prefer stage OVER the basic, until the evo. These are like Gothorita, Lampent, and Hattrem.

Shit I dont know anyone who can afford this. No one in my work or friend group has a Steam Deck or Switch 2. Nearly 20 people all of us of us have ps5, XsX, or switch 1. 6 have a pc that can run the latest games without chugging. Not even the scalper guy at work has gotten a Switch2 to flip.

The market for Steam Deck is already so small, you would have to undercut it in price or overshoot it in specs by such a rediculous margin (either one) to get mass market adoption. Consoles were BORN FROM being cheaper and “punching above its pricetag” compared to modular PCs. This handheld is neither.

$1000 consoles and $100 games…here we come I guess. I’m so tired of fighting this fight. One of the tenants of capitalism is that you, the consumer, should demand more-for-less. It doesn’t matter that you got a good deal already. It is a consumers duty to demand a product for less, or even free. People have grown complacent and lazy with this duty - misinformation and complacency, and a culture that promotes both “fuck you I got mine” and “overpaying is a flex” has allowed prices to rocket under greedflation.

An opening sequence as recognizable as Never Gonna Give You Up

*to redeem you from my judgement, since you will never be good enough to undo you having Knowldege of Good and Evil, in the original shouldering of Collective Guilt.

I have good returns if you also wager down on ramming bows if you’re interested

Yes! Long live moth!

We’ve drifted into Warp space! Why aren’t we building armies to defend ourselves?

Im more of a…Renault FT17 type purist. Everything after it is derivative and lame. They saw one turreted piece of perfection and decided "you know what could improve such perfect roundels? Edges. Now we have abominations covered in…romboids and silly bricks.
