@vonskeedle @ruggyscruggy I think they would suck less now that you can acces the box at any Time but yeah. Surf and Waterfall and Even Strenght and Fly to a degree don't feel as bad as like Rock Smash, Rock Climb, Dive or Cut

@ruggyscruggy I just wish HMs were like, good moves that you actually would ever want to click in a battle lol. Any and all "QoL" considerations regarding their existence or removal from the series matter a lot less if they were decent moves instead of shit like Rock Smash or Cut.

casual players will literally call anything sweaty dude LOLLLLLLLLL

@ruggyscruggy Too many hms is the most fake reason to hate a region ever, sorry you can't use your smogon team the whole time when you're mountaineering, it's called exploring, you don't wear the glass cannon build when you're in the poison gas dungeon

@Iggythekoopa7 @ruggyscruggy @Nutsackdealer Hey Jellicent is pretty cool, Seismitoad is usable too. I Do get your overall point tho but I think Type diversity in the New Pokémons added is the bigger issue.
English
@ruggyscruggy @Nutsackdealer Personally I like having old mon’s to aid with team variety. Like ok I wanna use a water type in gen 5 without picking oshowatt, imo there’s not exactly a big list.
English
sinnoh might deadass be the worst region in the series cause ive seen like 3 different things listed as the most hated aspect and i could understand the reasoning for all 3 of them

The most HATED thing about every Pokemon region:

@jhcw36 @imralanyrx They mean more in terms of playdriving at a pretty decent Level as well as being a High end finisher instead of just being a Goal Scorer Who doesn't Drive Play Much.
English
@imralanyrx when was he not good? He's been great since Ottawa just never plays enough
English
I would say he’s put it together nicely now.
JFresh@JFreshHockey
Josh Norris, acquired by BUF, is a scoring centre with the tools to be more than that. Extremely efficient shooter, dangerous one-T, tricky shot. Playmaking not quite as good. Great speed, physicality, defensive stick. Needs to put it all together to be a two-way scorer.

@Drewbaeboy Have you considered getting drunk and spouting weird history facts at a twink?
It's worked for me twice.

Complaints that the cars race artificially fall on deaf ears because the only way to change the regs in way that wouldn’t give you that feeling STARTS by slowing down the cars but any time that gets mentioned people screeching and posting Montoya Monza laps in protest
English

Until you’re ready to accept that the condition to get cars with “no gimmicks” is stripping them back to mid-700 horsepower figures again, rolling back the downforce, and increasing the braking distances this is your burden to bear

Exactly, nothing about the overtaking in this mornings sprint was “artificial” that was solid wheel to wheel racing that still allowed the faster car + driver to build up a gap once they broke free!
MrPulse@mrpulsef1
The majority of people complaining about these regs spent all of last year complaining about how difficult overtaking had become and that there was 0 overtakes. If they started in 2011 they would probably also have complained about DRS and Pirelli as well
English
@D296919768017 @TheMistakery Yeah that's why Bruce Wayne has to do a lot to hide the fact that he's Batman.
English
@TheMistakery It’s not really similar to that. “The Batman” is not a guy. Their point is that “Kal-El” is a fully public-facing identity. There’s no reason to assume he dresses up like a journalist and bumbles around in his free time. Obviously there’s a guy under the cowl. Who’s that guy?
English
The thing about this is that Superman is actually smart and in most continuities he gives the public no reason to think he *has* a "secret identity" in the traditional sense.
To the public, Superman's real name is Kal-El, he's an alien, and he lives in Antarctica.
nirvanam1nd (EOZ-ssj 3)@NirvanaM1nd
The whole “I’d see through Clark Kent’s disguise” attitude is kinda the entire problem with how we often engage with things The rules of a story can never be accepted as they are there’s always this effort to out smart the story rather than engage with it
English
@F1GuyDan I thought the picture on the Right was AVUS for a moment there xD
English
George Russell and Kimi Antonelli are responsible for Mercedes' first 1-2 finish that didn't involve Lewis Hamilton since the 1955 Italian GP 🤯
English
@sanosong @JFreshHockey The Underlying don't look good his last 2 years in Colorado too. He actually struggled more in Bednar's system than Roy's
English
@BenjaminMatteau @JFreshHockey Perhaps. My guess was always the coaching style he played under in Toronto changed things for him, but that’s 100% anecdotal on my part since I only watched the Leafs when they played the Avs.
English
the thing about this trade in retrospect is that Dubas had a great trade asset to address the gaping hole on the roster, which was a Rielly partner top pairing defensive RD. instead he ended up with Barrie (overrated and overvalued defensive liability productive RD)
Nick@NickZararis
Not exactly a great look for the Leafs that the Flames did better than them on a Kadri trade six years later
English
@JFreshHockey @sanosong A bit but the offensive playdriving going from Elite to just good Also was a Huge down for him. Would be intresting to see why, maybe an overreliance on Point Shots ?
English
@BenjaminMatteau @sanosong yeah I think his defence tumbled as his production skyrocketed
English
@JFreshHockey @sanosong He was legit good from 2014 to 2017. At least by looking at your historical data.
English
@JFreshHockey Immediate Contributors who had good trade value at the time Vs Picks.
English
@JFreshHockey Barrie had alread fell off in terms of his analytical profile at that point I think too. It's just the reputation came after Toronto cause all the spotlight was on him. Kerfoot was alse seen as a good 3rd Line Center at that point too. It's just different types of assets.
English
@richardOpinions @zkorn2 @NYRBlueBulletin Yeah cause that Team had 2 Elite Centres they Could retool around after some disapointment in the earlier half of the 2010's the point is you need Elite talent to Win and it is very rare that those become easily avaible via Trade or FA so you generally need to draft Them.
English
@zkorn2 @NYRBlueBulletin I mean Sid won it in in 15-16 and 16-17 too
English
For the “Pro Tanking” crowd, since the 2009 NHL Draft (Tavares), only TWO first overall picks (Aaron Ekblad, Nathan MacKinnon) have won Stanley Cup Championships with the team that drafted them. #NYR
English
@92In82 @StatBoy_Steven @realdavidgold @MasonW4636344 I mean both can be true ? Lundqvist was a fantastic goalie but his home numbers for GSAx during the 2010's are slighlty inflated. Like what he said was not akin to saying Lundqvist is actually mediocre it's just that there is less of a gap between him and other Elite Goalies.
English
@StatBoy_Steven @realdavidgold @MasonW4636344 He was the dude that said Lundqvist’s numbers were inflated because the MSG shot trackers were fudging the shot locations to say shots were being taken closer to the net than they were.
That must be why his road playoff numbers are also immaculate lmao.

In honor of NYR giving up on Othmann, a forward with 3 points in 42 NHL games, let's look at some replies from Rangers fans who took "victory" laps after one solid D+1 OHL season and/or an NHL cup of coffee. Warning: This will be very long. I can only do 4 images per Tweet.
English
@AngryPredsFan And Bergevin was in Love with Tall Physical player that don't do much else and even he realized he wasn't worth anything in MTL lol.
English
This sounds really really great on paper until you watch him attempt to play hockey and realize he’s very bad at it
Thomas Drance@ThomasDrance
Wait people think a second-round pick is too much to pay at the trade deadline to rent a 6-foot-6, 230 pound right-handed centre who wins 53-55% of his draws every year?
English
@WilsonxD19 @JCrowley1989 @fluffybiscuit03 People like Jan also plays RomHack that are built around having incredibly difficult boss fights and having to plan with your encounters and a lot of time having to even EV train.
English
@JCrowley1989 @fluffybiscuit03 I think both options are terrible; both kill what's supposed to be part of the challenge. At that point, they shouldn't even be playing nuzlockes if they're playing so safely
English
Pokemon fans can be so fucking annoying I swear to God. "Y-You have to grind on level 2 Pidgeys for sixteen hours just to get to the level cap!!" Who the fuck cares if people use rare candies it just speeds the process up 😭
Pachirisu, Destroyer of Worlds@2014Pachirisu
“How dare you have fun playing a challenge mode” He literally calls out people like you specifically. I’m not watching a guy grind for hours on end. I could watch something else more engaging and interesting instead. I’ve done a couple nuzlockes. Rare candies are goated.
English
@gujingujin1 @britosreturn @BreloomBlue @throwaway909887 @fluffybiscuit03 So keeping the same team of 6 can work for a basic nuzlocke on a normal game. However when playing more challenging runs by banning the uses of Items in Combat or by playing Things like Emerald Kaizo, that does not become the optimal strat.
English
@britosreturn @BreloomBlue @throwaway909887 @fluffybiscuit03 Isn't that part of the risk and reward though? If you know a pokemon you'll bench will be useful later, you'll at least continue paying upkeep on it to make sure it doesn't drastically lag behind, or you accept not every mon will make it to end game and cut your losses.
