Think I finally put my finger on why I dislike PMD comics so much

Feel like it's the same thing as when fantasy shows/anime "game-ify" their world too much, where they start getting in the way of story and character building to talk about stats and mobs and loot drops and it gets really hard to watch cuz I'm pretty big on plot cohesion and flow and it gums up the works to do that

PMD comics are a lot of the same really, where there's stats and moves and every non-character pokemon will mindlessly attack the main characters unprovoked, and they have magic orbs and beam attacks that if you're not a lore scholar or aren't really into the games feel like an asspull 90% of the time

Furthermore, most other fantasy comics don't run into this problem because since their magical items, world and species are wholey unique they have to take a lot more time to explain and develop these concepts and in turn end up finding creative and interesting ways to use them that PMD creators would usually skim over because they could just have the character open their mouth and perform a beam attack that does 120 damage + Type Advantage and have what would've been an interesting fight scene take place on one page where neither participant move...

Ways the Youtube app has gotten worse since I started using it this past year

- Picture in Picture stopped working entirely

- The algorithm stopped caring what I wanted to see after the third video and now actively stopped showing me more obscure songs/videos even when I search them by name (It used to literally give me the song and songs I listened to frequently after)

- I have to force stop the app every few hours because it keeps taking cache data from videos just in case I download them later

- Youtube Shorts resets the homepage to the previous list

- The one month I started using the "Download Video" feature is bugs and hides all downloaded playlists so I have to download videos separately

- Lock Screen randomly turns on when I try to skip back 10 seconds and I have to sit there like an idiot

- Descriptions and comments stop opening if you watch a short

- Skip back 10 seconds rarely works anymore

- Subtitles randomly turn themselves on without me selecting them

Like dang I get Youtube Premium from my parents account so I don't even get the regular layer of advertisement BS, fix y'all app

Something I'm wondering about now: what happened to all those people who submitted the pizza OCs which appear in Pizza Towers secret areas?

Where are they now? Do they just post art of them somewhere?

Do you think Umbreon just have normal colored eyes, but they are red from eye strain due to light sensitivity?

PVZ heroes is a really fun game

Up until you get past the starting line, where everyone suddenly has 6 legendaries and exactly the cards to counter everything you do

Also, it's not lost on me that Nintendo plan was to shut down Palworld and then make a cheaper, worse version of it, gameplay and all

Subway really be like "we're the healthy option" and then sell a 12 inch cookie cheaper than any other item on the menu

No matter what #Musk says or does, many on the left continue to post on and pay for X, a clear example of how progressive movements are beho

A man is driving down the road and breaks down near a monastery. He goes to the monastery, knocks on the door, and says, “My car broke down. Do you think I could stay the night?” The monks graciously accept him, feed him dinner, even fix his car. As the man tries to fall asleep, he hears a strange sound. The next morning, he asks the monks what the sound was, but they say, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man is disappointed but thanks them anyway and goes about his merry way. Some years later, the same man breaks down in front of the same monastery. The monks accept him, feed him, even fix his car. That night, he hears the same strange noise that he had heard years earlier. The next morning, he asks what it is, but the monks reply, “We can’t tell you. You’re not a monk.” The man says, “All right, all right. I’m *dying* to know. If the only way I can find out what that sound was is to become a monk, how do I become a monk?” The monks reply, “You must travel the earth and tell us how many blades of grass there are and the exact number of sand pebbles. When you find these numbers, you will become a monk.” The man sets about his task. Forty-five years later, he returns and knocks on the door of the monastery. He says, “I have traveled the earth and have found what you have asked for. There are 145,236,284,232 blades of grass and 231,281,219,999,129,382 sand pebbles on the earth.” The monks reply, “Congratulations. You are now a monk. We shall now show you the way to the sound.” The monks lead the man to a wooden door, where the head monk says, “The sound is right behind that door.” The man reaches for the knob, but the door is locked. He says, “Real funny. May I have the key?” The monks give him the key, and he opens the door. Behind the wooden door is another door made of stone. The man demands the key to the stone door. The monks give him the key, and he opens it, only to find a door made of ruby. He demands another key from the monks, who provide it. Behind that door is another door, this one made of sapphire. So it went until the man had gone through doors of emerald, silver, topaz, and amethyst. Finally, the monks say, “This is the last key to the last door.” The man is relieved to no end. He unlocks the door, turns the knob, and behind that door he is amazed to find the source of that strange sound. But I can’t tell you what it is because you’re not a monk

the way i learned this, it was always told through spoken word. And you’d do the door thing for ages. AGES. literally just making up any old material. ‘behind the foam door is a door made of spinach’ that kind of shit. Go on until whoever is listening has already begged you to stop and has now gone on to pleading, clutching your shirt on their knees pleading. And when you finally said the last line? People went fucking nuts Like there was a good chance of just getting the teeth knocked out of you after telling that joke.

A friend of mine did that shit for 30 minutes on a camp once. The entire fucking bus just exploded in anger when she finished. It was a fucking massacre.

Dont like reposting political stuff that much on my Bluesky so doing it here

Seen a lot of people saying that a €80 standard isnt anti consumer, but while I do agree that Nintendo puts enough effort into their titles to warrant that price, I think its a bad idea to have it be the new standard as other AAA companies have managed to lower the quality past even the threshold of the standard set in 2005 and will use the excuse that it is the new standard to fleece their customer base further

If you want to picture how conservatives can do such despicable things, think of it this way

They see Maslow's hierarchy, and how all of the people who have gotten to "Self Actualization", and hate how complex they make the world.

So in response, they take away the other parts of the pyramid, not only to prevent people at the top from being able to stay there but also to prevent anyone else reaching the top and coming to the same conclusions

So JD starts lambasting Scotland for apparently arresting people for thought crimes...

Like the presidency he's under didn't just arrested someone for though crimes...

How do these people have supporters, I will never know...

Kind of worried about the balancing of ZA

IDK if its to compensate for the dodging or whatnot but in the trailer every hit seems to either stun or instantly kill which is kind of a balancing nightmare by the sounds of it
