| Topic | Idk why I did not start doing weighted pullups earlier |
| acesxhigh 04/27/23 2:00:39 AM #6 | I never made my way into weighted ones. but when I used to lift, pull-ups were my favourite exercise. cause when I started I couldn't do a single pull-up. so it was very rewarding to be doing like 8 in a row at one point. |
| Topic | So, I thought Heart Gold was the best Pokemon game. |
| acesxhigh 04/24/23 2:04:48 AM #10 | BlackScythe0 posted... Gen 2 has the most content. Anyways I thought it was generally accepted that B2 & W2 were the best?It was a good game I think. A lot of what I remember was good, but also I recall juggling a Lucky Egg around quite a bit more than I wanted. I liked BW a lot because they were brave introducing a whole new region with no old Pokemon. That was also the first Pokemon game that I played the Japanese launch and discussed a lot on gamefaqs. So it stands out to me maybe more than BW2. |

| acesxhigh 04/24/23 1:44:59 AM #8 | Count_Drachma posted... In general, I've been kinda split on the remakes. FRLG was amazing and, although I'll play RB for nostalgia, I prefer FRLG. Conversely, I'd rather play GSC or RSE over their remakes (although ORAS is alright, it just doesn't do it for me).I agree about FRLG. Also, LGPE was better than I thought. I think both games are good remakes of gen 1 for different reasons. Count_Drachma posted... I never really got the HGSS praise, but I always suspected it was nostalgia from people who started with gen 2. Personally, I thought gen 3 was more or less exactly what I wanted from the franchise, although I enjoyed gen 6 and, to a certain extent, gen 7.Yeah, that is pretty much the story for me. I started with gen 2. I think I would still rather play the remakes though. I guess my problem is that they should have done more to fix the whole thing, but at a baseline I guess they are still at least good compared to the originals. |

| acesxhigh 04/24/23 1:36:09 AM #7 | Omega Ruby was the next game I played. I have this game and never finished it until now. I think I was a little jaded at the time with the new narrative stuff being added which rubbed me the wrong way. I got overleveled really easily with EXP share which kinda made it too easy. Other than that, I liked it a lot. Ruby was my next childhood favourite but I think it aged a lot better than Gold. There are some slogs in Ruby like the long routes/team magma sections in between gym 3 and 4, and then later between gym 6 and 7. But not as bad as in Gold. Some of the "modern" things added in Omega, mainly reusable TMs are extremely high value in this gen. I love reusable TMs. It's a shame to hear that BDSP did away with them, probably won't be playing that one. They did a good job of mitigating the tedium of the water parts in the remake with surfing speed up and encounters down. Delta Episode is pretty dull and not much to say about it. Flying around to old places to fight more grunts. They really could have done more with this. I also wish they did away with HMs, as there are too many in this game. |

| acesxhigh 04/24/23 12:47:29 AM #3 | Rest of the post: Kimono Girls. Yeah, forgot to prepare for this battle and I did not have a single Pokemon that could survive more than 2 Thunderbolts from the level 38 Jolteon. I decided I would go catch a Graveler, and they are available on a route near the 8th gym. But here is what exemplifies the problem with this game... They were like level 23 in the wild. And then I remembered that this is the game, this is what you do. It all came back to me, I had repressed memories from childhood of grinding my Pokemon against level 20 Tentacruels and Stantlers in the wild for hours just to get them up to speed with my party. And I did not really want to do that anymore. So yeah, wild Pokemon suck, especially in Kanto, trainers are too weak, dark types are locked to postgame. It's all just so glaring and I don't think the good parts make up for it to be honest. |

| acesxhigh 04/24/23 12:37:57 AM #1 | But it's not and I discovered that recently. I got sick last week and decided to play Pokemon in bed all weekend. I watched this YouTube video essay https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dx9_X5fM6o and decided to challenge my view of Gold/Heart Gold as one of my favourite games since I haven't played it in 10 years. First of all, this game has a lot to offer, obviously. I would say though that most of it is available in the post-game. And what I'm looking for is different nowadays. Ideally, I want a Pokemon game that is more replayable with plenty of depth and options, and a bit of challenge along the way from hometown to the Champion. A lot of people do mention the level curve as a major fault of GSC, and its remakes by extension since they didn't do anything to fix it. For some reason I've been oblivious, could be nostalgia. But it just broke the game for me completely. I could not believe how boring it was to play through the rocket hideout in Mahogany and then the radio tower, warehouse, just I cannot believe I ever thought it was an acceptable standard of gameplay. Grunt after grunt of level 20 Rattatas, Zubats, Koffings just trash trash trash. It was horrible and it lasted for hours. I called it quits at the Kimono Girls, which was a part I completely forgot about. Basically the league and Ho-Oh in this game is locked behind a series of 5 battles against level 38 Eeveelutions. I found this to be particularly tough. |

| Topic | When choosing a hotel, what is the most important factor in your choice? |
| acesxhigh 03/17/23 3:08:02 AM #13 | definitely want to have food and drinks available nearby at least, near places where I want to see so of course location and then maybe general cleanliness, reputation, etc. price used to be more important, now I have more stable income and less free time, I think it's too expensive to have a vacation just to cheap out and book something crappy like the travelodge or something |

| Topic | Moved out of my parent's house |
| acesxhigh 03/03/23 10:34:44 PM #18 | I moved out at 23, pretty much as soon as I could get my own apartment. cause at that point I graduated and got hired in a tech job which was shitty but just paid enough. and I have a family drama story. I had a girlfriend at the time and when I brought her home to meet my parents, my sister decided she was gonna antagonize her (they had never even spoken before) and make it extremely stressful for me and her to be around there. I still don't know what her problem is but some people just can't have enough enemies. the climax of this was the family thanksgiving where my sister threw a fit because she didn't want my girlfriend to come. so my mom called off the whole thing. and I was like yeah I'm out of here in 1 month. unfortunately I rarely visited after that cause it was stressful as fuck. and after covid I haven't visited even once. I want to see my family but it was already stressful enough, but even now they are still 2020 lockdown-mode and it's like I am going in to see bubble boy just by visiting my family. |

| acesxhigh 01/19/23 2:32:49 AM #34 | Lokarin posted... ah, that's a smidgen more than my 32002800 here on dota 2. still playing here and there these days, took some long hiatuses but I watched almost every TI. 2014-ish was my peak in terms of relative skill but I regret that I didn't really push my understanding of the game, my limits, my heroes' limits, and how to improve as a player. that really held me back and I ended up quitting because I was frustrated that I was losing. and my friends quit too. I think that mindset is where the toxicity comes from, nobody is on the same page when it comes to what competitive matches are really for. most people's goal is to climb the ladder which means you have to win. but learning must come first. and competitive matches are the best place to learn. and you learn most from failure. |

| acesxhigh 01/01/23 6:05:38 AM #6 | kinda, my parents are still pretty much "2020 isolated mode" so I haven't visited them in nearly 3 years. I just feel guilty thinking of going to visit them when they are not really asking me to come over still. I am living life normally, in a big city, not even worn a mask in 6+ months and I haven't been sick for a single day. It makes me sad to think about how much life wasted just worried about being sick. |

| acesxhigh 12/23/22 5:35:44 PM #17 | ParanoidObsessive posted... It implies someone who defines their personality and lifestyle by gaming. I wouldn't go that far, maybe just somebody who considers games a bigger part of their life than just a way to kill time or socialize. It actually is a pet peeve of mine when I see "your whole personality is just defined by this thing" or even describing someone with "no personality" like that is totally antithetical with my view of personality in general |
