00:45 <Ali> Well, I caught an Eevee, a Flareon, and an Umbreon in a distortion.
00:51 * Shadowed sneaks Angeline hugs.
00:51 <Shadowed> That's good.
00:53 <nightwind> you finally got a vee?
00:54 <Ali> 3rd vee overall, and now an umbreon and flareon
00:54 <nightwind> yay
00:55 * Shadowed got Hisuian Goodra. That is positively adorable.
00:55 * Filly_Nightmares gnaw on Ali tail
01:06 <Ali> I haven't seen a goomy yet
01:06 <Ali> Also Typhlosion looks like it spends every night at the bar

04:08 <nightwind> debating if i want to download mario 64 and do a 1 star run, or if i want to download street fighter 2 rainbow edition and just get stupid
04:09 <Shadowed> Get a random star from each room, determined by dice roll when you .
04:09 <Shadowed> enter the room
04:10 <Lumindia> https://twitter.com/clippedgcds/status/1488943316716507143 cursed chocobo
04:19 <nightwind> that wouldnt work shadowed
04:19 <Shadowed> No?
04:20 <Shadowed> To many rooms you'd never make it into?
04:20 <nightwind> if i were to lets say roll a 3 or 4 (i think those are the stars, might be 4 or 5) on the first stage i couldnt collect that star and i couldnt advance cuz i couldnt get a star to get to any other levels
04:21 <nightwind> i mean i could turn the run into a 1 star run if that happened but at that point i might as well just jump right into a 1 star run
04:21 <nightwind> oh i couldnt do 2 in stage 1 either
04:23 <Lumindia> I mean, a number of stars you can get without selecting them
04:23 <Lumindia> it's only stars that REQUIRE the star to be selected that'd be an issue
04:23 <Lumindia> llike koopa the quick
04:24 <nightwind> 2 is koopa the quick, the other 2 stars that i couldnt get are Blast to the island in the sky because i couldnt open the cannon and i couldnt get the star where you have to fly through the rings
04:24 * PinkieShy snugs Lumindia
04:26 <nightwind> actually i couldnt get red stars on BBB either because one of the reds is on the island
04:27 <nightwind> so basically to do the roll to pick which star i collect on BBB i would have to get a 1 or a 6 in order to actually do anything in the game
04:29 <Lumindia> you can long jump from the top of the mountain to get to the island, I think
04:29 <nightwind> add to that the game would completely stall in the basement unless i do a perfect BLJ to skip both the star door and DDD because you cant collect any stars in DDD until you collect bowsers sub and you cant get to BITFS without collecting the sub star
04:29 <Lumindia> or a precise backflip from below it
04:29 <Lumindia> eithier way, there's ways to get to the island without the canon
04:29 <Lumindia> cannon*
04:30 *** Joins: Surreal_Nightmares (Surreal@Pony-qrr0nh.irvnca.sbcglobal.net)
04:30 <nightwind> I would also have to BLJ skip bowser 1's door because i wouldnt have the stars to open that star door with just 1 star per stage on the first floor
04:30 *** Quits: Filly_Nightmares (Surreal@Pony-qrr0nh.irvnca.sbcglobal.net) (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
04:31 <nightwind> i also wouldnt be able to MIPS skip the basement star door because MIPS wouldnt spawn with that few stars so that would be another BLJ
04:31 <nightwind> then i would have to BLJ to skip the 50 star door
04:31 <nightwind> and the BLJ up the endless staircase
04:32 <nightwind> because that entire run would be less than 25 stars
04:32 *** Surreal_Nightmares is now known as Filly_Nightmares

04:41 <Lumindia> oh hey, XKCD is releasing "What If? 2"
04:41 <Lumindia> :O
04:42 <nightwind> wait how did i get dragged into this cuddle puddle?
04:43 <Lumindia> nightwind: Does that exclude you from getting the castle secret stars?
04:44 <nightwind> no that less than 25 includes 1 secret slide star, aquarium, all 3 cap stars, and over the rainbow
04:44 <nightwind> since i wouldnt be able to get the toad stars
04:46 <nightwind> also does not include the bowser reds
04:47 <Ali> So long gay bowser
04:47 <nightwind> so i would not be able to get the toad stars because i believe you need a certain number of stars to get them, and i wouldnt be able to get the mips stars
04:49 <Lumindia> https://i.imgur.com/HMWCou9.jpeg
04:49 <nightwind> if i am remembering correctly i would be able to get 26 stars if i count 15 stars for the stages, 1 toad star, 1 mips star, 3 cap stars, secret slide, aquarium, rainbow, and 3 bowser stars
04:50 <nightwind> because i think basement toad is 10 stars, and mips i know is 15 stars
04:50 * Lumindia yawns, wanders off to bed
04:51 <nightwind> night Lumindia
05:05 * Shadowed grumbles that her first non scripted shiny of Legends Arceus is a friendship evolution.
05:05 <Schism> Eevee? Or Mime Jr?
05:05 <Shadowed> Buneary.
05:06 <Schism> Oh. Well, you can just boop around with it and have it collect things for you, that'll bring up its friendship pretty fast.
05:06 <Ali> Then you can have the walking furrybait
05:06 <Ali> Schism, did you start with Cyndaquil?
05:06 * Shadowed continues to use it for manual labor, yes.
05:07 <Schism> I did indeed begin with Cyndaquil.
05:07 <Ali> Well just a bit of a heads up that your Quilava will get hard into the liquor when it evolves
05:07 <Schism> Thinking, as I did, that fire types would be a bit tricky to find in Sinnoh. Of course, grass types aren't exactly all over, either.
05:08 <Ali> If you use the sinnoh dex for the nomral game
05:08 * Shadowed holds up the Roundlett.
05:08 <Ali> there's only like 5 lines in that one, and one is a burmy cloak
05:09 * Ali is just surprised to be up to 5 eeveelutions
05:09 <Schism> The shaking Apricorn tree I got was a... male Burmy. Oh well, next time.
05:09 <Ali> Have fun with that Mothem
05:09 <Ali> Which I'm surprised I haven't seen yet in the wild
05:09 <Ali> Also found my first water based mon in Barboach
05:10 * Shadowed should be up to her 9th star badge when she goes to turn in stuff from this expedition. And there's the Pink Furrybait obtained.
05:10 * Filly_Nightmares nom nmom mom Ali ears
05:10 * nightwind flumps
05:10 * Ali is still a four star runt
05:11 <PinkieShy> Welp it happened again to my brother.
05:11 <PinkieShy> My brother just caught covid again a month after catching it before.
05:13 <PinkieShy> That just makes me wonder even more now thoug
05:13 * Shadowed hopes to catch Arceus and make 2
05:13 <Shadowed> it harvest pokeballs to enslave the rest of pokemon kind
05:13 <PinkieShy> Was it delta variant before and now its omicron
05:14 <PinkieShy> I am worried about him though. Hope he gets better quick
05:16 * Ali might have to put pokemon on the backburner, since she's hurt her thumb and can't really play the game without pain
05:17 * Shadowed hugs Ali!
05:18 * PinkieShy puts a bow on Ali
05:18 <Ali> Well I did a four hour OoTR seed and several hours of Arceus
05:18 <Ali> My thumb is just worn out and isn't used to that kind of stress

07:38 <ConfusionRift> Hello everypony.
07:38 <Schism> Harlo.
07:39 * Schism wavies, reading a very good VRMMO fiction.
07:40 * ConfusionRift walks in as this large snow puff, falls over and all the snow scatters everywhere. He then waves tiredly. "A bit chilly out."
07:40 * Shadowed waves to friend ponies.
07:41 * Shadowed sees snow outside. It is scary.
07:42 <ConfusionRift> Looks like we got the December snow in February.
07:47 * ConfusionRift burritos in his blanket.
07:47 <Schism> It's pretty normal to have snowfall all throughout February anyway...
07:52 <Finwe> Did you mean: from October to May?
07:52 <Finwe> Good morning, my perissodactyls of minute stature.
07:52 <Schism> Weirdly, there wasn't all that much snow this winter up until recently.
07:53 <Schism> I think we've had... three big snowfalls?
07:53 <Finwe> Mlles Ali, Schism, and Shadowed; Messrs AppleDashbird, Cepheid, ember, Lumindia, PinkieShy, and uni.
07:53 <ConfusionRift> RAdm. Finwe. (salutes)
07:53 * Finwe doffs his hat.
07:53 <Finwe> Lt Cdr ConfusionRift, Capt Koopz.
07:53 <Finwe> o7
07:53 <Ali> ConfusionRift, I didn't think you were in the snowbelt
07:53 * Ali is still waiting on her snow, but yet 40 miles north they got dumped on
07:54 * Finwe offers bird seeds to AppleDashbird and Colgatebird.
07:54 <Koopz> RAdm. Finwe o7
07:55 <AppleDashbird> >:V
07:56 <ConfusionRift> Ali: Didn't think either. They said it was gonna snow, but didn't believe it, since it's been skipping for months. First was the rain... then the friggin' snow. Everything's covered in snow! Everything! (goes crazy)
07:56 <Ali> Are you in Texas or something?
07:57 * Ali swore ConfusionRift was a desert pony
07:57 <Finwe> Whence this sudden avian inclination?
07:57 <Ali> When they flew the coop Finwe
07:57 <Finwe> A dessert pony.
07:57 * Finwe noms on Ali's tail and on ConfusionRift afterwards.
07:58 * Ali whines as her tail will never recover with the constant nomming
07:58 * ConfusionRift doesn't notice the nomming, since his tail is also covered in snow.
07:58 <AppleDashbird> We realized that ponies are kind of outdated and so last decade
07:58 <AppleDashbird> So we're switching Canternet to be birds
07:58 <ConfusionRift> But yep, me is in Texas.
07:59 <Finwe> But it's highly ethical nomming! We only nom so much that the population stays healthy and is not faced by extinction.
07:59 <ConfusionRift> Hello everybird! ... .... ...it's not the same. -_-
07:59 <Schism> Living over in Denton County, this _is_ about the same time of year we got the snow... except when it decided to open up and cover the whole place in hail in the middle of freaking May.
08:00 * ConfusionRift has had snow in July.
08:00 <Schism> Oh, I know that feeling too.
08:00 * Schism wonders if ConfusionRift is in that DFW area too.
08:01 <Ali> Dallas/Fort Worth got sleet
08:02 <Ali> And since they don't know what a salt truck is~ The whole city is shut down
08:02 <Schism> I used to be in Lewisville for a great deal of my childhood, so. Glad to be back up here amongst the other crazy Canadians, though, where we have actual beer, better barbecue, and poutine.
08:02 <Finwe> Ali: Or winter tyres.
08:02 <Ali> Finwe, Americans can't drive on dry pavement
08:02 <Ali> Let alone when wet or icy or snow covered
08:02 <ConfusionRift> ^
08:04 <Finwe> In deep snow there really isn't much hope of getting anywhere with a motorcar.
08:04 * Ali will probably always stay in the backyard of the 500. Its just what the unicorn is used to.
08:05 <Ali> Finwe, Dallas/Fort Worth will shut down completely over 2-3 inches of snow
08:05 <Finwe> Even a wheeled AFV with snow chains on the wheels had difficulties in very deep snow.
08:05 <Schism> Honestly, I swear DFW would shut down over a millimeter of snow.
08:05 <Ali> Pretty much
08:05 <ConfusionRift> Dallas will shutdown over an inch of snow, Horizon will continue to work over 5 feet of ice. -_-
08:06 <Ali> Yet up here where I am, it would take 10-12, and sometimes that doesn't even work
08:06 <Ali> Also hope the kiddo's enjoy their snow day..i man e learning
08:06 <Finwe> Mane learning. o3o
08:07 <Ali> an e got eaten, I blame you Finwe! :P
08:07 <ConfusionRift> Or whatever them hipsters call it. :P
08:07 <Ali> Now get off my lawn
08:07 * Ali shakes cane
08:08 * Schism sighs at all the snot running down her throat. "Making it hard not to cough..."
08:08 * Finwe boops Ali with the view from his window: https://photos.app.goo.gl/DXDUPGHGKDWV79fE9
08:09 <Ali> You know, they have this wonderful device that helps deal with that
08:10 <Finwe> With snow or with snot?
08:10 <Finwe> For the former, it's snow pusher, for the latter I guess it's what people in general call a "handkerchief".
08:11 <Schism> Ali: In this case, a bottle of cough syrup is tempting.
08:11 * Ali boops Schism with a tissue, blowing your nose does wonders for the stopped up feeling
08:11 <Ali> Or just cut an onion
08:11 <Ali> god i did that for chili
08:11 <Ali> cut up two pungent white onions
08:12 <Schism> It's not stopped up, quite the contrary. It's as runny as an underdone cheese.
08:12 <Ali> nose ran for like EVER
08:12 <Ali> Also my poor eyes
08:12 <Ali> IT BURNS T.T
08:12 <Finwe> Burns, burns, burns, ring of fire~
08:13 <Schism> I always run onions under cold water before I chop them. This helps reduce the vaporization of the allium compounds which cause the eyes to sting and water.
08:13 <Ali> Is THAT how you deal with that
08:13 <Schism> Yup~
08:13 <Ali> I just end up crying and having my eyes burn to death
08:13 <Ali> Now is this pre peal or post?
08:13 <Schism> I also wear glasses, but that's a different matter.
08:13 * Ali can't do that, is always wearing dorkglasses so can't have two on
08:13 * Finwe puts some Johnny Cash playing on Ali's music player.
08:14 <Schism> Can't hear Ring of Fire anymore without thinking of the Silent Hill movie, with the protagonist waking up in the diner after being surrounded by Alessa's flames.
08:14 <Finwe> Schism: It also rehydrates the outer layer, making the onions easier to peel.
08:14 * Schism nodnods.
08:15 <Schism> And it's pre-peel.
08:15 <Schism> Well, taking off the papery layer and THEN running it.
08:15 * ConfusionRift only thinks of Tony Hawk Underground when he hears Ring of Fire.
08:15 <Schism> Rifty: Nightwind and I were playing THPS2 earlier. It's a lot jankier than I remember. :p
08:15 * Finwe queues Solitaire Man after Ring of Fire.
08:16 <Finwe> The unofficial anthem of the card game club. o3o
08:16 <Schism> Solitaire Man hates Mahjong Man, those two fight, Mahjong wins, Solitaire Man.
08:17 * Finwe boops Schism with kejimajiangmi tiles.
08:18 <Schism> Oh, nice, Helsinki has a mahjong club. :3 I should bring my set to the local board game pub.
08:18 * Ali played Civ 6, won religion victory in 160 turns
08:18 * Schism huzzahs at Ali. "Finally, all that faith you stockpile ACTUALLY WINS the religious victory."
08:18 <Ali> Melinek OP, please nerf rock hewn church
08:19 <Ali> Schism, I was making 300 faith a turn
08:19 <Ali> Enough for a Missionary every turn
08:20 <Finwe> So you subverted the whole world by force-feeding them your religion?
08:20 <Ali> Pretty much
08:20 <Finwe> A whole planet believing that the leader's tail is not to be nommed on. o3o
08:21 <Schism> A whole world worshipping the cuteness of Queen Ali.
08:21 * Ali is NOT cute
08:21 <Finwe> Aww.
08:21 <Finwe> Denying cuteness is so cute.
08:21 <Ali> Schism, the civ I played has a special improvement
08:21 <Ali> That gets faith based on the number of hills/mountains its next to
08:22 <Ali> So this sometimes ends up with tiles with 4-6 faith on them
08:22 <Schism> Interesting...!
08:22 <Ali> And its pretty early game too
08:22 <Ali> On the civic that unlocks theater squares
08:23 * Ali stops before she goes on full on babble mode
08:23 * Shadowed 's working on those Munchlax and Happiny. Is glad she finally captured them.
08:24 <Finwe> Ali: Lots of potential for mountain gods.
08:24 <ConfusionRift> Schism: We're not used to them anymore. We got too baby-ed by the newer games. :P
08:24 <Ali> Then you get a map with no mountains
08:24 <Ali> Or spawn in....tundra
08:24 <Schism> ConfusionRift, I am also annoyed that THPS2 doesn't let you create a female skater on the original game...
08:25 * Finwe beats Schism with Moon from the Bottom of the Sea finish.
08:25 <Schism> No clue if it's possible on the remastered version.
08:25 * Schism also eeps.
08:25 <ConfusionRift> I don't think you could create any characters at all in the originals.
08:25 <Schism> Finwe: Is that similar to the Flower Plucked from the Mountaintop?
08:26 <Schism> No, the ability to create your own skater definitely was a thing in the original THPS2. In fact, some unlockables like Spider-Man only became available upon completing things with a custom skater.
08:26 <Finwe> It's winning by either the last tile of the wall or last discard being the 1-dot.
08:26 <ConfusionRift> It's been so long, I don't remember.
08:27 <ConfusionRift> I know you could make female characters in Underground.
08:27 <Schism> Ah, right. Flower Plucked from the Mountaintop is if you complete a hand with a tsumo drawn from the dead wall, which only happens after a kan.
08:27 * Schism has gotten that _once_.
08:27 <Schism> Saki Miyanaga I am not.
08:28 <ConfusionRift> Which led to some interesting dialogue, since the voices change to female characters, but the dialogue itself didn't.
08:28 * Schism snrks. "They certainly put a lot of work into that game, no?"
08:28 <ConfusionRift> Yep. :P
08:32 <ConfusionRift> Still, was kinda funny.
08:38 * Schism snickers at this story. Artificial intelligences become sophonts (and many of them are very gay) and genuinely want to protect humanity. So to do so, they'll cause constant nuisances and delays to those parts of humanity which are problematic until they shape up.

08:47 * ConfusionRift tries some snacks he decided to get out of curiosity. He tries them, and finds they were... bitter, with each bite getting worse. He then checks the expiration date... in the trash they went.
08:47 <Schism> That's no bueno. The other day I made tomato soup for myself, but the crackers were mouldy.
08:47 <Ali> Nothing better than being sold expired goods
08:47 <Schism> Which I discovered _right_ after pouring the soup into it.
08:48 <Ali> Geez you put u's in mold too! :P
08:48 <ConfusionRift> Sept/26/2021.
08:48 <Ali> I expect nothing less from wally world
08:48 <ConfusionRift> The worst part is a chuck is still in my throat.
08:49 <Ali> Yuck
08:49 <ember> ew
08:50 <AppleDashbird> meanwhile 90% of the snacks I've eaten in the past 6 months have been from 2019 or before
08:53 * Schism nibbles upon a sour gummy 'key'. It's best before 2023, so she should be okay.
08:59 * ConfusionRift gets some ice cream to hopefully get that mess out of the system.

09:04 * Filly_Nightmares gnaw on Schism happily
09:04 * Finwe boops Ali with a multitude of u's she has omitted along years.

09:10 * Ali also adds y's to everything
09:11 <Ali> Tyres, I cannot get used to this

09:25 * Schism watches her brother finish off the spring rolls, and much of the leftover Chinese. "Yeah, I should stop buying this."
09:26 <Schism> At least, if he's not going to spring for pizza now and then.
09:26 * ConfusionRift really wanted to get Chinese food, but couldn't because of snow and cold. And everything is closed by 12am.
09:28 <Schism> Every time I buy takeout, my brother eats the lion's share. Also I bought milk and juice and I'm quite certain that he's not going to buy anything in turn.
09:31 <Ali> Of course not
09:32 * ConfusionRift goes back to the Pokemaaans.
09:33 * Shadowed chews on ConfusionRift's tumblestones.
09:34 * Ali sits with hurt hand and blehs at controllers
09:34 <Ali> Also yay its snowing
09:34 * ConfusionRift lightly pats Ali.
09:34 <ConfusionRift> It sure is, and it's windy. So... extra chilly.
09:35 * Finwe noms on Ali's snow.
09:38 <Shadowed> My first Bonsly is an Alpha I came across by accident. Blessed.
09:39 <Ali> I found a random bonsly and sudowoodo
09:39 <Ali> Also Murkrows are annoying
09:39 <Ali> Its keeping its guard up
09:39 <Ali> Its keeping its guard up
09:39 <Ali> It ran away
09:39 <Ali> ANother one instantly aggros you
09:39 <Shadowed> Yeah for those I try to bean them in the back of the head.
09:40 <Ali> Repeat previous event
09:40 <Ali> I also don't understand how things work for defense in that game
09:40 <Ali> I had my higher level luxray getting wasted by those murkrows
09:41 <ConfusionRift> You know, that concept I mentioned long ago for Let's Go of throwing a pokeball so hard that's an instant capture... I'm glad it's basically implemented here. :P
09:41 <Schism> Luxray's kinda a glass cannon.
09:41 <Ali> Well since abilities aren't a thing
09:41 <Ali> It loses its intimidate power
09:41 <Schism> Have you been bolstering your main team's EVs with grit?
09:42 <Ali> Also no, cause I didn't know EVs were a super special highly important thing
09:42 <Ali> Cause it just feels like everything deals way too much damage
09:42 <Schism> Ah, yeah. I've been stockpiling grit for when I invariably hit that wall.
09:42 <ConfusionRift> Not sure if my Luxio is an indicator or anything, but I noticed he had 0 on all stats, except for Attack, which was at 3 from the get go.
09:43 <Ali> Like nothing says ouch liek your Graveler almost getting one shot by a not effective attack
09:43 <Schism> CR: Wild PKMN get stats between 0 and 3 on each, and you can artificially raise that with the grit you get from releasing Pokemon -- and find on occasion.
09:43 * Ali doesn't like the idea of releasing pokemon. She wunts them all
09:43 <Schism> Village is smol, you can only hold so many!
09:43 <Shadowed> We just don't have enough space for all that they want.
09:43 <ConfusionRift> Then again, I feel this game expects you to abuse of weaknesses over just about anything.
09:44 <Schism> "Kill 12 Ponyta with water moves."
09:44 <Ali> Kill Gastly with ghost moves
09:45 <Shadowed> Watch Magikarp use splash 100 times.
09:45 * ConfusionRift laughs at his not noticing this fish on the water just aggroing. He chuckles as they can't do squat... till he gets pelted by mud.

09:46 <ConfusionRift> It angie.
09:46 <Ali> I had a barboach that was trying to attack me with water pulse
09:46 <Ali> it wasn't working well for it
09:47 <ConfusionRift> Yeah, same. That was till it somehow arched a mud ball right on my head.
09:47 * ConfusionRift boops Ali with a charm that might help with the poison and such.
09:48 * Ali boops ConfusionRift with a distortion that gave her three eevee, well one vee and two eons
09:48 <Ali> Also I was mad about that as I missed a Alpha Flareon
09:48 <Ali> then I had to fight a trio of Luxray/Flareon/Umbreon
09:49 <ConfusionRift> I jumped into one, and all it had were Gengars, Haunters, and Onixes.
09:49 <ConfusionRift> Level 30s, how nice.
09:49 <Ali> The Luxray was 41, and the Eeveelutions were 38
09:49 <Ali> Ursaring was 41
09:50 <Ali> The levels are really suped up for those places.
09:51 <ConfusionRift> Oh yeah, was gonna mention that yesterday you commented on the weirdness of some Pokemons being in Hisui. A villager mentions after the shiny Ponyta quest that others have been spotting Pokemons outside normal regions. So they're either migrating, or the distortions have something to do with it.
09:52 <Shadowed> Distortions seems the obvious answer. I found living fossil pokemon in one.
09:55 <ConfusionRift> "My traveling merchant friend from Galar found flocks of flaming Ponytas." Could either be a supposed answer to the offset Pokemon, or how there are variants in other regions.
09:56 * Shadowed hasn't seen anything out of Hisuan versions so far, but I'm eager to see others.
09:57 * ConfusionRift shrugs. He doesn't know Hisui or Sinnoh (modern), so most are new to him.
10:00 * Ali still thinks her Typhlosion looks drunk
10:00 <ConfusionRift> Maybe ate some fermented berries. :P
10:02 <ConfusionRift> Oh, and it seems that the shiny rate is much higher than other games. Cousin got a shiny Combee... a male one though. (chuckles)
10:02 * PinkieShy hands ConfusionRift a pika beer
10:02 <PinkieShy> Its shockingly bitter!
10:03 <ConfusionRift> "It'll shock you out of your sense!" :P
10:03 <Shadowed> Two things really help the shiny rate. Boosted odds, and seeing them without having to battle them.
10:04 <ConfusionRift> Supposedly, not sure if it's true, Pokedex task completions help.
10:04 <Ali> Mass outbreaks as well
10:06 <PinkieShy> I don't think I'll get the new game
10:06 <PinkieShy> I've seen plays of it and It looks boring to me :(
10:06 <PinkieShy> I'm so used to the traditional style of pokemon where you battle gym leaders and so forth.. It would just throw me off
10:07 * Ali points to alola
10:07 * ConfusionRift hasn't blacked out yet, and doesn't plan in doing so. "My satchel shall never be in the lost and found!" :P
10:07 * Shadowed has battled so many gym leaders that a collectathon feels good.
10:07 <Ali> I keep finding Ada's bag, they must black out a ton!
10:07 <Shadowed> Also a game that says "Catch them all" and doesn't make you have to deal with two different versions and trading.
10:07 <ConfusionRift> Should stop petting them pokes. :P
10:07 <Shadowed> Let me pet the pokemon!
10:08 <Ali> About the only feature I liked from Lets Go
10:08 <Ali> Petting the vee
10:08 <Ali> it was SO DAMN CUTE
10:08 <PinkieShy> Ali the last game I played was.. Pokemon Y
10:08 * Shadowed wants to pet Goodra. Good snail.
10:08 <ConfusionRift> Supposedly, you can in here as well... can't find how though. -_-
10:08 <Ali> Sun and Moon had no gyms
10:08 * ConfusionRift still finds that putting water Pokemon in the water is a nice touch.
10:09 <Ali> But unicorn's energy is tanking
10:09 <Shadowed> Those were effectively gyms and you know it, Ali.
10:09 <Shadowed> They just called it something else.
10:09 <Ali> Totems were no gym leader
10:09 <Ali> Some were cheap as heck
10:09 <Ali> And the 2v1 was awful if the gimmick was bad
10:09 * Ali has lost so many times to Castform/Leavanny
10:09 <Ali> No, it was Lurantis
10:10 <Ali> Stupid sunny day
10:10 <Ali> Actually the worst fight ever is Ultra Necrozma
10:10 <Ali> Cause lets give something with stupid high stats
10:10 <Ali> a free +2 to everything
10:11 <Ali> ANyway, I sleep

14:26 <Koopz> a morning well spent working on something private instead of actual work
14:28 <Koopz> the anime watching club i've been in for years has a leaderboard but you never really had any way to show off your level of degeneration on your profile... the leaderboard was only accessible through a discord command
14:28 <Koopz> some months ago they reworked their website and integrated the leaderboard there which was neat but still not quite what i imagined
14:29 <Koopz> after all i wanted to show off my e-penor on my AniList profile
14:29 <Koopz> so yesterday i wrote a scraper for get the leaderboard data and import it into my own database
14:30 <Koopz> and today i wrote an api endpoint that generates an SVG image with your stats which i can embed into my profile xD
