Matt (Absol)

My name is Matt, but you can call me Absol.

This is actually what's good about Bluesky. If you only follow people you know and like and stay on "Following" you can just post Facebook status stuff all day and interact with your friends instead of voluntarily pan-frying yourself every 10 minutes

Now I have a full team

Didn't really record anything for a video, but I am working on my FRLG movie today

a very satisfying Go Fest day 2! I've found everything I wanted

@just_a_pkmn_guy For these things, I always trust @FexCollects

Tragedy struck today as my 10 month old took a swing at the DS capture card. Anyone have recommendations on who can help walk me through repairing this? Right before safari week 🥲 any help is appreciated!

@ashton_dun27780 Save before entering and reset the game after they call you on the PA if you don't find a shiny!

@TheAbsol i have a question how do you shiny hunt in gen 3 kanto safari zone without running out of money please and thank you

Liking a game when it's not the popular opinion is ok! Some of y'all really go around like, "Yeah, the story's my favorite in the series, I love the characters, I listen to the soundtrack every day, and I played it for a week straight. Shame the game is bad tho :///"

One of the coolest things about playing Champions online is that your opponent could be on dialup internet connected to a network of potatoes & lemon juice, and you're still playing the same game and not some completely different laggy Allegory of the Cave dialup potato game

Battle Castle

Infinitely more interested in hearing why someone thinks Dennis the Menace for the SNES is a "timeless classic" than ObjectiveGamer23 glancing at it and going, "Ooh, yikes, yeah, this is a terrible game lol"

Pretty solid day 1 of Go Fest. Shiny Tropius is what I wanted most!!

Before random people jump in and be like "look at this 'influencer' trying to justify free stuff. buzz off" (that's what I expect on this website), I turn down 99% of what I've been offered to advertise bc I can't think of videos to make about them sincerely unless it's Pokemon

A surprisingly common misconception I see: the Youtubers you watch are not just saying they received something from a company for free to rub it in your face or brag!! They do that in order to meet FTC disclosure guidelines/laws for gifted products/experiences

It feels like a bunch of brands are realizing no one is interested in watching their shortform ads, so their marketing strategy is to just comment on viral tiktoks so people are like, "Deodorant, why are you here????"

@Sharky_YT_ There used to be an account that would appear out of nowhere to yell at people calling Pokémon Pokeman. I miss them

@TheAbsol That's like the rarest Pokéman

You caught a Mewtwo in Times Square?? Heh. That's cute. Not to brag, but I just found a Skiploom.
