If you’re ever interested in learning Pathfinder 2e, drop me a message here or on startplaying.games/gm/speybleto... - I love sharing this cool game with people and helping them learn to play or run it.

#RodentOfTheDay Neumann's Grass Rat (Arvicanthis neumanni)

"Neumann's Grass Rat is more like a large grass mouse than a rat. It has two distinct populations in eastern Africa, one in Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan and one in Tanzania (and maybe also Kenya)."

Ph/info: www.animal.photos/mamm1/rat-ne...

Three Neumann's Grass Rats are clearly visible in a group of six or more. The three that are prominent are brown-black with smaller ears and eyes. They are eating different vegetables.

I really love how most of the monstars in Alien Core are just animals and beasts from messed up alien planets.

Like this dude is just a beast! A predatory animal creature from the dark side of a moon!

Me: Pokémon as a series is archaic in ways that aren’t excusable for such a huge franchise and it deserves a lot more criticism for its complacency and long-term flaws.

Game Freak: Have an Ekans, you bitch.

Me: I am a bitch.

Me, a bitch, with Ekans, a thing guaranteed to reduce me to the status of a bitch.

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a vintage Unimog!

An old Unimog, it's a small cream coloured truck that's shaped like a truck instead of a racecar bed

I would consider this a huge selling point, personally. It’s nice being able to have fun talking to people as an entirely separate thing from reading the news.

Mr. Chau @srirachachau.bsky.social · 8h

True but it's also true that they section off every category of news, so you can actually just actively avoid the news on here, which I dunno, I don't think that's good

I think there's sort of a self-fulfilling prophecy of a large chunk of people not coming here because there's not enough engagement. Like if you had a group of fifty people not going to a club because it's "too dead" over there. But you can't just demand they come over either, real asshole move.

Yeah I remember getting really thrown off back in Sword and Shield when the dark type gym leader is “singing” in total silence. Felt incredibly awkward. I swear that the series peaked in presentation with Black and White and had only gone downhill since.

Interesting. Definitely agreed you should be able to turn it off the same as any other voice acting.

People will wanna justify it, but we have to at least acknowledge that if any other game pulled just half the shit they pull with Pokémon, it’d be eviscerated.

Somehow it’s fine for one of the most lucrative franchises in the world to have significantly lower standards.

idc if it is y'alls sacred miltank no voice acting in pokemon in 2025 is wild

u do know u deserve better than to sink 50+hrs into a game that keeps u in near silence (arceus had grunt cues too) only to jumpscare u in the credits with whatever this year's ed sheeran is right?
