Imagine if there were people with sight and auditory impairment who never see any/hear of the Pokemon. I think it's fair to say that they might have favorites based on how the Pokemon play in-game.

Oh I thought it was Zubat Used-only. Would've been a fun tier.

you know there are tiers other than OU right

They're all made up! What the heck are ZU and PU.

If we're basing it on competitive usefulness might as well not have NFEs except for, like, Murkrow and Doublade.

I think my approach to these rankings prioritize personal bias for Pokemon I use in my teams, design, uniqueness/gimmicks, gameplay, and then others (like its role in the story, name, or whatever).

Screen buzzes, cracks.

Fun fact: this episode is the only so far to have only one sentence summarizing its plot on Wikipedia (not including its full plot segment).
In the episode, the single mother Marie (Rosemarie DeWitt) enrols her daughter Sara in a trial of Arkangel, an implanted technology which allows Marie to track Sara's location, current vision and hearing, and automatically censors distressing material. Aged fifteen, Sara (Brenna Harding) lies to her mother about going to a friend's house to attend a party with Trick (Owen Teague). Marie discovers the lie and after failing to contact her, turns on Arkangel. She sees Sara having sex for the first time, with Trick. Marie starts to use the tablet again and soon sees Sara snorting cocaine that Trickwho deals drugsgives her. Marie confronts Trick but things soon gets worse when Marie learns about Sara's pregnancy.

It still gives me great unease. It'd be a great design for something else I'm sure, but I'm not really feeling it as a Pokemon.

I bet its boogers would just fall off.

Mr. Rime tap dancing really endears him to me.

Huh, having Arctovish as your third favorite Galar Pokemon is so fascinating to me.

Dottler's shape is just so awkward to me. It looks like someone's child trying to do papercraft.

Milcery doesn't look that much like cum.

Good, very good.
I hope this means the original PS5 model will drop in price, or at least becoming more common in second hand markets.

I was really surprised by the Carkoal going vroom in that one cave, I thought I was seeing things.

I was reminded today that in British television, 'S' usually stands for 'Series' and not 'Season'. Anyway, onward to Series 4! Personally I think this series on marks where Black Mirror becomes forgettable to me, though there are still some standout episodes.
The episode follows Robert Daly (Jesse Plemons), a reclusive but gifted programmer and co-founder of a popular massively multiplayer online game who is bitter over the lack of recognition of his position from his coworkers. He takes out his frustrations by simulating a Star Treklike space adventure within the game, using his co-workers' DNA to create sentient digital clones of them. Acting as the captain of the USS Callister starship, Daly is able to order his co-workers around, bend them to his will, and mistreat them if they get out of line. When Daly brings newly hired Nanette Cole (Cristin Milioti) into his game, she encourages the other clones to revolt against Daly.

Swadloon is high tier design.

Sewaddle is just fine. Not that I love any of the first stage early bugs though, so maybe Sewaddle is best Caterpie.

Great #96. Surprised at how low Indeedee placed.

Omens

How old are the kids?

Whoops yeah I forgor. Made this topic while on the go.

Also it can get pretty heated if we debate about some Pokemon...like the legendary beasts, Elektrike, the Eeveelutions...but feel free to do so if you'd like. I personally just count the relatively clear and cut cases.

Our next episode tackles the very real problem of Internet hatred and cyberbullying, with a noticeably dour mood even for the series. Did you like it?
A Nordic noir-inspired episode, "Hated in the Nation" follows Detectives Karin Parke (Kelly Macdonald) and Blue Coulson (Faye Marsay) as they investigate a spate of deaths targeting the subjects of social media hatred, at the hands of Autonomous Drone Insects (ADIs) that have been deployed to combat environmental catastrophe as bees near extinction. It was filmed largely in London.

I have kimchi.

That aside, I agree with this take

I think it's okay to explain the situation and ask if he'd still want it

Quick is a status effect of sorts that gives you the next active turn. Quick status can be gained by having the spell 'Quick' successfully cast on you or by having the reaction ability 'Critical Quick' triggered. The triggering of Critical Quick occurs when the unit with the ability equipped receives damage that leaves them with under 20% of their max HP.

While Critical Quick might not seem that great there are situations when it is the best reaction ability in the game. For a more reliant way to gain Quick, learn it for 800 JP from the Time Mage skill set. Quick costs 24 MP which might be a little costly but has decent speed (25) and a decent formula (targetsfaith*castersfaith*(MA+140)). Rig some zodiac compatibility between your group and Quick can be very reliable and fun to use.

Quick can be reflected (though not Math Skilled) but the most interesting thing about it is that it can be Counter Magicked! Seriously that exclamation point isn't one of the fake ones that should be a period, I actually used to get giddy when considering this. Look at the spells that can be Counter Magicked:

- All Black Magic except Fire 4, Ice 4, and Bolt 4
- Holy, Dark Holy
- Yin-Yang Magic except Pray Faith and Doubt Faith
- Slow, Slow 2, Don't Move, Quick, Stop, Demi, Demi 2, Meteor
- Bio, Bio 2, Bio 3
- Melt, Tornado, Quake
- Attacks from the Blaze Gun, Glacier Gun, and Blast Gun

So just how does Quick fit into all this? With the proper setup you can orchestrate a near-endless chain of Quicks within your team (sometimes referred to as The Quickening), acting and acting while almost no in-game time passes and the enemy sits there staring at your chain of constant action.

Yeah what Sean said is reasonable.

Movies, Games, and Tech - 7.5/10
Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is a cruel and challenging rogue-like title. Can you explore a fantasy realm and save Camelot? Use the skills and powers of your fallen knights to slay every foe you face. Furthermore, no playthrough is ever the same. As such, this oozes replay value and longevity. However, it doesn't quite hit the levels found in Hades.

God is a Geek - 6/10
Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is an enjoyable enough hack n slash roguelike. Its bright and fun, but drips-feeds new skills and weapons far too slowly. Theres a lot to like, but repetition will set in before you see the end, and the dialogue will certainly grate on you long before then.

GameSpew - 8/10
We do love a good roguelike, and were happy to report that Knight vs Giant: The Broken Excalibur is well worth jumping into. Its charming art style, its fast-paced action and its wealth of upgrades all come together to make this a very moreish adventure indeed. Fans of the genre would be wise to give this a go.

The feel-good episode did really well but not enough to dethrone Fifteen Million Merits. Today we're rating another (I believe) more divisive episode. Though the twist is pretty easy to guess I still liked it a decent amount, I suppose. It doesn't have much more than the twist though, so it kinda limits its potential.
The episode follows Stripe (Malachi Kirby), a soldier who hunts humanoid mutants known as roaches. After a malfunctioning of his MASS, a neural implant, he discovers that these "roaches" are ordinary human beings. In a fateful confrontation with the psychologist Arquette (Michael Kelly), Stripe learns that the MASS alters his perception of reality.

I like its take on the match-3 genre. Though later levels are pretty unfair lol.

XPCorner - 8/10
Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur doesn't reinvent the wheel in the rogue-lite genre, but it nails all the core elements making it well worth a playthrough. Returning to my opening question: Can Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur dethrone the likes of Supergiant's "Hades"? While it may not claim the crown, it's a commendable contender that fans of the genre will undoubtedly appreciate. Its standout feature is undoubtedly the epic battles, demanding both skill and patience to emerge victorious. However, be prepared for moments, especially early on, where grinding becomes necessary to gather crucial resources for base-building. Knight vs. Giant: The Broken Excalibur blends epic battles with rogue-lite charm, creating an odyssey that's as challenging as it is captivating.

TechRaptor - 6.5/10
Knight vs Giant has good combat at its core that seems to have been unfortunately neglected for far too many upgrade systems that take too long to matter.

I really like it a lot though yeah it's probably not the 'best'. Still, I find it really heartwarming.

Screen buzzes, cracks.

Shut Up and Dance is in a very tight race with the previous episode, but it ends up in the bottom 3 for now, with only a 0.03 difference with Playtest! Now let's visit this surprisingly heartwarming Black Mirror episode.
The episode is set in a beach resort town named San Junipero, where the introverted Yorkie (Mackenzie Davis) meets the more outgoing Kelly (Gugu Mbatha-Raw). The town is part of a simulated reality the elderly can inhabit, even after death. "San Junipero" was the first episode written for series three of Black Mirror; initial drafts were based on nostalgia therapy and designed as a 1980s period piece. The first script was about a heterosexual couple and had an unhappy ending; the final version was about a lesbian couple and had a happy ending.

These replies get it. Soryr I was just entering another Avenue Q phase. :(

Anyway, I wouldn't mind if anyone is interested in actual career/education topic. My actual degree is Bachelor in Engineering (in Information Systems). My first job was really in line with my education (though the title was 'Business Solution Architect'), then I got into creative research, then PR for a game company, then funnily enough my current job is once again in line with my major: a project manage for a game studio.

Is your current job actually aligned with your educational background?

What is my life going to be?
