<extra person at the team meeting> seems like it could be a good time for a battle tournament eh guys?

Cory "lives in the mountains" W @coryw.bsky.social · 17h

ugh plot mega battle where they make it clear you have to mega evolve to progress in the plot, booo

I got the warning, you can swap the move to a new slot but if you delete it you can’t get it back (in my case gyarados and one of the strong water moves)

Yeeesss excellent.

Gyarados is so huge I think one of its attacks might be missing but that could be me misunderstanding the move or the updates to the system

This reporting focuses on European findings, I wonder if there's a meaningful difference in proportions of people who do/don't plug in in NA vs. Euro?

I'll admit I imagine not but it could be interesting

this feels like cheating but one of the plushes you can get increases the amount of material you get off the pink blobs and you can trade that for XP candy at quasartico

I have been doing this because it feels like my normal overleveling strategies aren't working in this game

Cory "lives in the mountains" W @coryw.bsky.social · 1d

my brain landed on sacula which almost sounds good enough to be something else but IDK what context we're looking for here

Made it to just before an important battle then fell asleep but it turned out this strategy was less bad than I thought, as the character levels up

I’ve been beating most battles with tamed alphas now

Also why is it that if you “sleep for twelve hours” all the other things in your body deteriorate during that time? Terrible

Sorry I haven’t been super active, I’ve been sleeping inside but the mattress upstairs now is meaningfully worse than the one in the van so I’m still not sleeping amazingly

Yeah, I think it’s just that the Portland treatment works in person and online you can’t really fight them in any sense because they know your points and that you’re right.

Maybe worse, if this gives any air to an RW ecosystem here it’ll just be them quote dunking you right back

Just waiting to find cylizar, carkol, and varoom running around

They are expecting and thrive on dunks because it raises overall engagement and under some systems/feed prioritizes their posts as “worth engaging with”. Ignoring them would be better

Saving this to my collection of “we have European trains at home”

Flawless strategy (collecting high level alphas on accident so they don’t obey me in battle)

and if they think AI can address that then to me that’s even worse than if they’re feeling behind the automakers voice assistants doing pretend therapy on people or any actual work use cases for voice interaction at this point

But in more seriousness I wonder if MS genuinely considers itself behind in voice control for accessibility (I’m p sure they are but would have to look later)

- if it's battery there's a high chance it's a good application for it (e.g. yards where you can't put wires on top of the trains) & battery is still a better move than hydrogen, generally
