@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz but i also very much play it with an eye of like. "fuck breeding, fuck IVs, fuck trying to figure out which is THE BEST, i'm going to win with whatever i think is cute and interesting"

so for me it's a lot more about making the narrative become personal by choosing which pokemon are on your team and forming a connection there

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz so it's kind of like how half the fun of playing skyrim as a cultural phenomenon was sitting around exchanging the ludicrous bugs you saw or tales of what you did, except you get to share the little story of not just the game but your specific team

and then the added features since x/y have made it have more virtual pet sort of features, like nintendogs or the like, so you get even more of that connection of like.. your team doesn't have a pikachu, it has YOUR pikachu

@eightbitsamurai@elekk.xyz honestly i think a lot of the appeal for it is that it's a really nice game where i can kinda turn my brain off for a bit

like sometimes you just wanna get some mush stuffed into your face and it's fine.

i also think that pokemon hits that like... same root of sharing dog pictures or something. everyone has their own individual favourites and their own individual power players on their team.

honestly while i don't think i'd keep birds myself (allergies lol), i am admitting how much of my youtube watching is "birds happen to other people"

i may be saying this because emmymadeinjapan's video of roasting breadfruit is just delightful in terms of chicken interference

ok my shoulder and arm are today settling into a thing where i genuinely am now desperately looking forward to physical therapy next week and hoping they do some nerve flossing

if y'all have ever had nerve flossing/glides done in physical therapy, y'all will understand how whack that is

i have a Type and it's Anime Dads.....................................

*ace is not a dad but he is still a silver fox so he counts

i should probably actually play the other Zero Escape games, or at least replay 999

but then i'd have to confront the fact that i'm still hornty for Ace

@anarchiv guess you'll have to just take us over again and bring us under the iron heel of socialized medicine

*burning the white house down optional but recommended

**note: if this was not including america in colonies i'm going to look like booboo the fool but i stand by this attempted joke

ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ baby rat.....

ok i should drag my silly ass to bed, please have this youtube classic to flight thee to thy rest, fediverse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8coX8VkUKY8

(warning for flashing because well it's a youtube poop)

these were not the frogs i was looking for but Holy Shit check out these round boys

@InspectorCaracal GOD YES and then the phenomenon of like

yes great the words all line up, it all makes sense, and then as soon as you try to get your fingers to do, your body complains and it's like

the puzzle you've been carefully putting together is now all over the floor. all of the little bits fitting together are now in the shag carpet.

that is usually the point at which i just turn into a rain frog in sheer grump

@InspectorCaracal and it's especially awful when you can just fEEL ALL THE LITTLE SHITS THERE

it's all ripe and ready to go!!!

it's just that you can't grab on to the fuckers and make it actually do the do onto the page out of sheer inability that goes way beyond writer's block. it's fuckin annoying as HELL

when will science fiction become reality so i can just beam my thoughts Directly To The Internet already

@InspectorCaracal IT IS THE LITERAL WORST

i feel like when i have spoons coming out of this i have to like.... warn people lmao. i have to be like "this is all the shit about being disabled i wish somebody had told me" because being dumb and not remembering good, okay, sure, i kinda got that. BUT BEING UNABLE TO CREATE??? INFINITE FUCKING ANGUISH

(honestly i think it's a big mental/physical disabled mood so join on in tbh, it's not like pain brain fog is that far off from all mental)

i realize now looking at the tag i've already posted that here but by god, i stand by my choices

*gets on soapbox*
*bangs pots and pans*

YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND ANAKIN SKYWALKER/DARTH VADER UNLESS LOOKING AT HIM AS A CHILD SLAVE TURNED CHILD SOLDIER SET UP FOR FAILURE BY HIS ENVIRONMENT IN MULTIPLE WAYS SHOWING THE INHERENT DISADVANTAGES THAT REMAIN IN SUCH CLASS SYSTEMS
