@dantmnation I think the idea is that the reasons you entered the community are no longer the reasons people are entering the community today, and you’re thus opposed to being under the same umbrella.

“if you started liking resident evil in february 2026, you shouldn’t have an opinion on this.” look, i get it that some new fans can be hella annoying sometimes, but speaking as a fan since 2011, why are y’all trying to gatekeeping a franchise that’s thirty years old? be serious.

@zg9064 @Andrick11 @bubblymarmar A mon filling a niche unique to your team does not make it a “meta” pick. Cofagrigus might be the best pokemon given the other 5 I’ve picked, it’s under no circumstance part of the meta.
English
@Andrick11 @bubblymarmar Sejun made a meta call that Mega Gyarados was positioned well into the 2014 metagame, and he was right
For Mega Gyarados to achieve its highest effectiveness, it wanted redirection and an electric immunity, which only Pachirisu provided
Pachirisu was a meta call, not a favorite
English
i dont think people realize that "meta" does not just mean high usage rate pokemon. pachirisu was in fact the "Most Effective Tactic Available" for the situation
໊໊໊໊໊໊@MarcelF2006
@Darkmetalstream No siempre jugar el meta es lo más eficiente, ejemplo:
English
@bubblymarmar “Meta” refers to the metagame, i.e the game happening outside the game. This refers to the community creating a consensus on what strategies within the game yield the best results. Pachirisu fell entirely outside the metagame, it was not a consideration.
English
@herrlawyers The latter are all means to an end, usually, so you can kinda rationalize that they’re misguided. The former is just an expression of cruelty and dehumanization, most people view that as irredeemable. Not to defend fictional genociders.

@tismtanker @SirBadOpinions “Oh I’m super fucked up because my teacher was dumb in grade 6, and now that I’m a grown adult I have no choice but to continue being a dysfunctional piece of shit”
These guys weren’t psychologically abused, their egos were insulted by people they viewed as beneath them.
English
@SirBadOpinions How dare people be affected and not mentally develop properly after being psychologically abused by inescapable authority figures for a decade of schooling as a child

Yeah, I got shit for being smarter than my teachers too but I didn't carry the resultant arrested development into my 30s. Grow the fuck up, retard.
memetic_sisyphus@memeticsisyphus
It’s true, every halfway intelligent right winger I know irl had a massive conflict with at least one elementary teacher over things like: reading ahead, reading too difficult books, not showing enough work, etc etc. it’s the first time we experience the uncaring tyranny of state bureaucracy and it sucks.
English
@ArcxonLive @YT_Solo It’s all ego now, you can see it when you play with them and they’re screaming at the team in VC because they’re losing. The people just trying to learn and play the game haven’t changed, the tryhards have just gotten more toxic because they all think they’re a twitch streamer.
English
@TW0HEADEDBEAST True, people used to be good at these games because they played and enjoyed them a lot. A lot of the sweatier streamers play games in order to be good at them, because their brand is pubstomping. The love of the game they’re playing has been removed from the equation.
English
thing is the "tryhards" are performative
they don't want to try against other people of similar skill they all just wanna pubstomp 12 year olds, the 25 year old that only plays sports and racing games and Jed, 49, who just came off a double shift packing at the warehouse
Solo@YT_Solo
Video games went downhill the day that people got scared to play against the tryhards instead of being hyped to try and beat them
English
@gianweb10 @hellhound33334 @HoodlumCallum You’re saying it started with neither chicken nor egg. Physical electrics suck because of their moveset, there’s no moves because physical electrics suck? Obviously one of those should change so the other can as well.
English
@hellhound33334 @HoodlumCallum Not really. Almost every physical Electric types suck, good STAB or not. Pokemon isn't interested in making good physical electric types often so why would they make good electric moves?
English
boooring, i think it's more fun for types to have specialties in a way that makes outliers of their type unique. most fighting types are physical, but it's really cool that lucario can be ran special, for example
making everything symmetrical would not be as good as you think
RichieGonzo@RichieGonzo21
@mightygrippers @HoodlumCallum 100% agree and this is something that multiple types need. Where's physical Thunderbolt? Where's special Brave Bird? I would go a step further with stat rebalances and look at invididual shitmons instead of on a generational basis.
English
@HoodlumCallum I agree for the most part. I think having signature moves (that may eventually be given to just a couple other Pokemon) that meet those expectations is a good compromise. We can have a physical Thunderbolt and special Brave Bird, they just shouldn’t get wide distributions.
English
@eggnoggies as a retarded mexican, i can safely say that i dont give a shit what jontron had to say, he was entertaining as fuck
English
jontron in 2017 murdered all the love he gained when he whined about mexicans

jontron about to say something racist
English
@_Jeesh @Kwikpanik so this is a deeply stupid thing to say if you think about it for a second
English
@Kwikpanik sooo you're mad you might have to think outside the box a bit?
English
can we talk about how hard it is, even as an established VGC player, to play against people who have no clue what they're doing?
Pikasprey 🐻☕ Android VTuber@Pikasprey
I wasn't sure about playing Pokemon Champions because I have no clue what I'm doing with competitive Pokemon. Then I play the game and find out no one else does either.
English
@tnyshinji I think it’s difficult to have fun without being engaged, you can be engaged without having fun though. Plenty of films are engaging without being fun, I don’t see why this can’t be true of games.

sobre a discussão de que jogos precisam ser divertidos pra serem bons
divertido = engajável
o maluco só cunhou de uma maneira menos compreensível, mas ele não tá nem um pouco errado. É literalmente impossível você falar que gostou de jogar um jogo em que você não engajou

@shubham_coder_ @DrakeVagabond The entire point of the clip is what you’re saying, that RE4 inspired TLOU inspired RE4R
English
@DrakeVagabond bruh if there wasn't Re4 there wouldn't be dead space as you see it neither last of us. both would have been a different game.
and Re already had stealth many of their previous games than a re4 remake.
English
@AceHarlem299840 @DEAADSEAA Oh you’re serious? I think you’re delusional if you think half the type chart is intuitive. You and I have likely been playing for years, it feels like second nature. Things like fire resisting fairy, water resisting steel, ghost resisting poison are understandably confusing.
English
@quantaxtrep @DEAADSEAA They literally tell you in game and dark types aren’t a common type, these are not hard games, this isn’t SMT my guy this is a game made for kids
English
@AceHarlem299840 @DEAADSEAA Okay there’s plenty of post-hoc rationalizing you can do, but let’s not pretend any of that makes sense before knowing the type chart.
English
@quantaxtrep @DEAADSEAA Yeah dark represents corruption as well as the night and ghost can be corrupted by evil and darkness, Paranormal and Normal are contrary norms you can’t be both normal and paranormal, Fighting beats dark because trained fighters won’t fall for under handed tricks easily
English
@AceHarlem299840 @DEAADSEAA 1. Is dark supernatural on account of hitting ghost SE? Because fighting, a surely natural type, is SE against dark.
2. Why is normal the polar opposite of ghost?
English
@quantaxtrep @DEAADSEAA Ghost is weak against ghost because only the super natural can harm the supernatural, normal is immune to ghost because its a polar opposite state
English
@Swurv__ @Bobkane95273732 What guesswork? People demonstrably enjoy newer Bethesda releases less and less. Their most favourably-viewed games are over a decade old. A cursory glance at your posts shows you to be single-mindedly dedicated to meatriding Bethesda, I suspect this is a sensitive topic for you.
English
@quantaxtrep @Bobkane95273732 Its better than guessing and pretending to know things.
English
All of these "Bethesda should do better" people need to realize Bethesda gives us worlds to live in, not games to play.
Pirat_Nation 🔴@Pirat_Nation
Former Bethesda executive Pete Hines believes the studio deserves more respect for the scale and freedom of its open worlds. He argued that few developers allow players to stack quests, ignore the main storyline, and explore entirely on their own terms, adding, “Go try that in Red Dead Redemption 2.” “This level of freedom is what makes these worlds feel alive.”
English
@quantaxtrep @Zenrotwo I completely understand not wanting to buy multiple current gen games, but I’m saying that you no longer have to buy a game every 1.5-2 years just to play. Which is an improvement, though we are far from perfection. Point is, there are far more important issues with champions.
English
This isn't what Champions is supposed to be. Champions is just a hub for battling content. This illusion that Champions was made so that everyone can VGC for free is just made up.
JohnnyHax@JohnnyHax
This might be bait, but in case it isn't: Having to play other titles to get access to specific Pokémon is antithetical to what Champions is supposed to be: the self contained competitive platform accessible to everyone. Especially the wave of new players coming from mobile.
English
This is part of why the item pool champions has is so baffling. Assault vest not in the game cause too many items is confusing for casuals but RNG items that encourage bad habits are fine? Imagine being a casual and your 100% acc move whiffs and not knowing why bc of brightpowder

QUICK CLAW IS SUCH AN INSANE ITEM I LOST 3 GAMES IN POKEMON CHAMPIONS TO RANDOM QUICK CLAWS THAT DIDNT MAKE SENSE?? HOW DO I PLAY AROUND THIS?!?!?

A remake cannot possibly "replace" or "disrespect" the original when the original is available on all modern platforms idk why people get so mad over it
