    Autism and the Internet

    cw: mentions of police, mentions of torture, mentions of sexual assault, institutionalization, dehumanization of autistic folks, just in general heavy stuff The following is my take on the snippet that Myzozoa has posted that was written by Tom Clemens in The Guardian. I'm all for the thrust...

    Getting major optional surgery

    Just a warning there is some really unpleasant sensory stuff in this post, for those with sensory hypersensitivity or general squeamishness. Hi, also went through a jaw surgery of this kind, albeit only for my lower jaw. Had the jaw broken and the metal plates put in. zapzap29 sums up this...

    Serious LGBTQ

    I don't usually post around here, but this is something relevant to me so I thought I'd chip in. I'm not going to talk about liberalism and the veracity of the SJW movement, simply because my opinions are not strong enough to argue on these points. I identify as gender non-binary, specifically...

    Metagame NP: RU Stage 15: Gucci Gucci (Honchkrow RU, Amoonguss and Quagsire OU)

    I don't entirely agree with The Hitman's posts, but I do think that he brings up an important discussion point that hasn't been touched upon recently in RU, namely the propensity of bans in suspect tests and the role of the community during the test. I've had some thoughts about these things...

    Hey man, thanks! I really appreciate it. I figure I've been using the forums for some time now, and whilst I'm not the best builder/mediocre battler I at least have experience and some metagame knowledge, so it's time to start giving back :p.

    Metagame RU Stage 14 Alt Identification thread

    I managed to find time after all to ladder today, thought I was going to be busy straight until end of voting period. My apologies to the one person I cussed at on the ladder - I was titling and in a rush to get reqs. PM me if you see this and I'll give a more in depth apology :). For all...

    Resource RU Viability Rankings Thread

    I'm not entirely convinced that Alomomola needs to take the roll of blanket hard walling the majority of physical threats in the tier to be justified of the S Rank status. Alomomola's bulk is by no means impenetrable, as evidenced by the fact that it does indeed have a relatively poor match up...

    Metagame NP: RU Stage 14: The Distance (Abomasite and Sharpedo Banned)

    I figure i might as well try to articulate my current thoughts on the current suspect here, as I find it to be a rather interesting case for M-Abomasnow (less so for Sharpedo, but I'll touch upon it). I'm not pretending to talk about the WHOLE picture here, just a snippit, namely the role of...

    Lower Tiers ORAS RU Cores

    I understand your argument that Mega-Steelix and Diancie occupy similar niches insofar as the 'bulky thing you switch in and seat up stealth rock/ counter the specific threat', as well as that they both have similar checks and counters in bulky waters and ground types. Ultimately, the defensive...

    Lower Tiers ORAS RU Cores

    Seeing as I'm going to be too busy to ladder for reqs, I thought I'd instead propose a couple cores that I've been finding particularly effective: Specially Defensive Drapion + Utility Jellicent Drapion @ Black Sludge Ability: Battle Armor EVs: 248 HP / 216 SpD / 44 Spe Careful Nature - Knock...

    Project ORAS RU Victim of the Week V2, with enthusiasm!! (Week 77: Swords Dance Cacturne)

    Weezing as a check: Weezing @ Black Sludge Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef Bold Nature - Will-O-Wisp - Sludge Bomb - Toxic Spikes - Flamethrower / Pain Split Weezing is obviously not the ideal sponge, but it can switch in to anything but outrage with ease. If Druddigon does...
