    Lifestyle Most physically painful thing you were ever put through?

    Kidney stone. The nurse (a woman! I would not have made that comparison!) compared it to giving birth.

    It is me, and I remember the sushi there being okay. It was the only sushi restaurant in the area (very small town).

    That's a pretty old thing to be looking at! What are you looking to find?

    Serious Rachel Lillis, voice of Misty, Jessie, Jigglypuff, is battling cancer

    This has absolutely wrecked me. Her, Veronica Taylor, Eric Stuart, and (outside of Pokemon) Tiffany Grant *were* anime for me growing up. Even though I've never known the actual person, this feels like losing a big sister. I'm devastated. I've started a new morning tradition of watching an...

    SPOILERS! General Pokémon Anime Discussion

    The news about Rachael Lillis has me absolutely shaken. She's only a few years older than I am; she was bringing Pokemon to life with her voice while I was a kid enjoying it. Her, Veronica Taylor (Ash), and Tiffany Grant (many anime) basically *were* anime for me, growing up.

    Hobbies Railway Series, TTTE, and Many Other Trains/z Things to Share

    In terms of just pure realistic train simulation, how does Trainz stack up against Dovetail's stuff (Train Simulator...I guess it's called classic now? And Train Sim World 4)? I mostly know Dovetail from them taking over ownership of Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

    Lifestyle The Mental Wellness Thread

    Finally got a name of what I've been dealing with for just over 16 years now: chronophobia. Supposedly more common in prisoners (which I'm not) and people nearing the end of their life (which, hopefully, I am not). But can hit anyone. Unfortunately, it is a physical impossibility to avoid the...

    SV OU Sun Team, looking to get to the next level (peaked at 1490)

    Rillaboom is weak without choice band. Drum beating is even weaker. You want choice band, and you want wood hammer. You'll become a better player if you learn how to properly use these, as well.

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Good job Salazzle you did it, top 100. Thanks recent bans! edit: Recent bans let me put Stealth Rock over Block on Garganacl, and Ice Spinner over Stealth Rock on Tusk.

    Media Artificial Intelligence's place in creating art?

    Isn't this just an extension of fanfiction?

    Media Artificial Intelligence's place in creating art?

    I specifically didn't put a name link on this because I'm not trying to call this person out, and I explicitly don't want to strawman them. I have seen this "stolen" wording a lot, and I think a lot of the people who use it have some very incompatible opinions about fanart featuring copyrighted...

    Media Artificial Intelligence's place in creating art?

    Anyone who thinks that current AI art is limited to hyperrealistic and heavily lit stuff needs to change the prompt. That's what you're seeing as examples of AI art because that's what popular and people are uncreative. Ironically, just like a mass-market artistic trend.

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Hahaha, I somehow broke 1700 with this as-is, reaching 1708. A new post-DLC high. edit: 1766 now, lol.

    Totally fine to can Cress. It's got a lot of problems. I'd love to find something that can set up on other set-upers like Cress could do if possible, but Cress itself is just too hard to work with nowadays.

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Every Gliscor I've run across in the last 20 games I've killed with Garg. It takes a while but as long as Gliscor doesn't have Swords Dance it completely kills it. Takes about 5 recover PP if you don't tera, and about 13 salt cure PP. It can't trap and kill Swords Dance set (but I haven't seen...

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Damn, Cress really is obsolete now with the DLC huh? I don't particularly have anything that needs to be kept, but I do like two aspects that I wouldn't mind maintaining: (1) Garganacl can trap and deal with a couple really annoying shits like Gliscor (2) Cresselia is sturdy enough to get a...

    SV OU This one suffered badly after the mask DLC; help me out (edit: now top 100 lol)

    Alright, so I put this together pre-DLC. At that point it struggled to break through 1800. It's got some unusual stuff in there (Salazzle, who the hell uses that), and it was my first attempt at SV teambuilding so really no surprises that it started to struggle there because there's only so much...

    Pokémon Hearthflame Mask

    This 'mon is absolutely insane thanks to mold breaker. Can stall as an archetype even survive with this thing in OU?

    Headlines Algeria bans ‘Barbie’ movie

    The only reason I'm not going to see Oppenheimer, and this might seem a little petty, is that I think Nolan shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the sound mixing desk. His idea that "dynamic range" means "dialog should be inaudible" is incompatible with my viewing sensitivities. I'll see it when...

    Very frustrated by how slow my guitar skill progression seems to be going.
