@SirScrubbington The mid-season format changes really killed my motivation over the last few years. I loved really studying the metagame over time and having two or three teams I could tweak over a whole year. I just don’t have time for proper team-building from scratch multiple times per season.

I want to use more pokemon that weren't super common in VGC and I feel like the VGC title limits that a little (The Lati twins in 2015, for example) and I can also put more effort into each format / generation if I only have one format per generation as opposed to 2-3 :)

Scrubbs@SirScrubbington·22 Eki

More progress over the past few days 👀 I'm leaning more towards making a battle spot doubles factory rather than VGC, reasoning below

I need a Don Bluth animated movie about this duo

Just arrived in the mail. Book with a chapter I co-authored with @omeara_p, discussing the value of ethnography and other qualitative methods in prehospital research.

@SirScrubbington I’m playing pretty much this exact deck online lately because I don’t have many cards from the last two sets and this one is so simple to throw together

English

Scrubbs@SirScrubbington·25 Şub

Keeping this one built the same way too for now, no idea if this one will change or even still be relevant lol Still good for my non tcg friends to borrow for locals :)

Scrubbs@SirScrubbington

Finally finished my spare standard deck! Had most of the cards sitting around for ages, just a few annoying ones I had to track down😅 List (probably) not final, but wanted to give Rotom Phone a try after I waited so long for them to arrive lol

@RichardBarrow So we can travel “without quarantine”, so long as we quarantine. Great…

English

Richard Barrow@RichardBarrow·14 Eki

So, the re-opening to vaccinated tourists is starting to look like only 15 out of 77 provinces. You will still need to do a RT-PCR test before you fly and another on arrival. I also hear you need to pre-book a SHA hotel where you have to wait for the results #Thailand

@thai101 I say ‘em for both plural and singular them. I say ‘im for him (not əm). Australian accent.

English

Rikker Dockum /ɹɪkɹ̩/@thai101·14 Eki

Them > ‘em and him > ‘im are homophones [əm] for me, but my intuition is that it has to be plural “them”; when singular it parses as “him” “My friends are here but I don’t see [əm]” = them “My friend is here but I don’t see [əm]” = him Can others get singular them as [əm]?

@thai101 I’ve always wondered about this! I’m left with one question. Did Thai pronunciation ever include the vowel at the end of the word? It’s pronounced กัม in modern Thai as far as I know, but the origin of the spelling was aiming to include มะ at the end right?

English

Rikker Dockum /ɹɪkɹ̩/@thai101·29 Eyl

So although spelled <กรรม> <krrm>, it is pronounced /kam/. The inherent /a/ is pronounced but not written. And the <รร> is written but not pronounced. With their powers combined, a new rule is born: in certain words, <รร> = /a/. Ta-da! /end

English

Rikker Dockum /ɹɪkɹ̩/@thai101·29 Eyl

Maybe my favorite quirk of Thai spelling is that the doubled r <รร> is pronounced as a short /a/ vowel. How on earth do two r’s make an a? It goes back to one of the earliest conventions of Thai writing. Read on. (Note: // indicates pronunciation, and <> indicates spelling.) 1/

@kaino911 I haven’t even played the Sword/Shield DLC yet. I’m kinda bored with the games at this point. I would love a really hard mode though.

English

kaine@kaino911·26 Eyl

i know there are some babies out there (probably around my age) who love the easiness of the modern games. and i know they like to cry and poop in their diapee when they simp for those games. but they could. you know. add a difficulty setting? come on guys. it can't be that hard.

English

kaine@kaino911·26 Eyl

One other thing i hope they don't fuck up in the diamond and pearl remakes. i hope they don't make the game for little babies like they did sword and shield. Like don't allow access to the PC while you're out in the wild. that's just like cheating. Let me turn off EXP share.

@CobalteVGC I’ve been playing TCG for the past year because it’s easier to just pick up and play. I miss having the same format for a whole season. I don’t have time to learn a format, build teams, breed/train teams, play a few games and then start over every other month.

English

Cobalte@CobalteVGC·19 Ağu

This is my biggest concern about VGC staying on SwSh, that we'll end up with a fair chunk of players making this transition instead

eimagi@EiMaGiVGC

Hello I’m now officially retiring from competitive VGC and move to unite. I never really enjoyed the constant format changes, dynamax, dlc concepts and this trend seems to continue. 3 years of sword and shield is definitely too much! #fckdynamax #prounite

@abcnews Does nobody ever bother reading beyond headlines before commenting? Writing something in “other” is not a solution. There’s a longer list of non-displayed categories that “other” responses are sorted into. Issue is omissions from that list when ABS is sorting data.

@iwsfutcmd @thai101 The other confusing point with this is that many signs and menus are inconsistent between the Thai and romanised spellings if they include both.

English

iwsfutcmd@iwsfutcmd·14 Haz

@thai101 wait maybe you can answer this age-old question I've had—was it originally: กระเพรา กะเพรา กระเพา or กะเพา ? I've seen all four on signs in Thailand!

Seems like a good day to use some of the holy basil that’s been growing nicely 🌿🌶

@AlfontsIV Could maybe be clearer if speaking about "positions" or "roles" rather than just "the team". Maybe one sentence expressing that the team changed a lot during fieldwork. Second sentence going into specifics, where you switch to speaking of specific numbers of positions.

English

Alexander D'Aloia@AlfontsIV·26 Nis

Alright, world. Help me out. I can never express this concisely. The government department I researched had a massive turnover of staff while I was there: "By the time I finished my fieldwork, five of the team were different, with three of them having been replaced twice." 1/2

We all know that when it rains on your wedding day, or when you have 10,000 spoons and all you need is a knife, it's not "ironic". But what IS it? How could Alanis Morissette have written a more semantically accurate song?

English

Dayne O'Meara@ProfTeak·24 Oca

@TiasAllard Yeah, absolutely. At first I marvelled at how people were just mildly annoyed at losing their account and then moved on. I would be pretty shook and possibly just leave the platform indefinitely. Different people use these platforms and relate to them in such different ways.

English

Dr. Tias Allard, PhD@TiasAllard·24 Oca

@ProfTeak Yeah, but after losing an account of 14 years, it can be hard to begin rebuilding without knowing whether it would happen again.

And so ends my first full day of #facebookdisabledme and honestly, the idea that all my connections with all these people and all these photos are just gone is still not really any less surreal.

English

Dayne O'Meara@ProfTeak·24 Oca

@TiasAllard Never really heard of people regaining access, although possibly not exactly the same as your account’s situation. Facebook is really vague about this stuff. You can read about it in the chapter on Facebook use in my PhD thesis! Haha

English

Dayne O'Meara@ProfTeak·24 Oca

@TiasAllard This happened a lot to people where I did my PhD research (there was a lot of device swapping, password sharing and suspected targeted use of reporting tools). It was really common for people to have a backup account ready in advance (which is in itself a ToS violation).

English

Dayne O'Meara@ProfTeak·18 Oca

@wishcrys @NaomiEIR Yeah, will do. I’ll try and send an email in the morning.

English

Dayne O'Meara@ProfTeak·18 Oca

@wishcrys @NaomiEIR Is near-native speaker fluency required? Never sure when to say I’m fluent, but I did all of my PhD fieldwork in Thai and am quite comfortable with the language, written or spoken. Would this work need to be done on particular days/hours or would it be just whenever suits the RA?
