The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 3m"Why do you say o' clock to mean that" "Well we're all saying of the clock but I got upset because there's a lot of different clocks you can't just say there's a magical clock in the sky they're all agreeing with. So I chose one clock and when I say o' clock I mean that one. It's The Clock" 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 4mguy who is linked to one specific clock somewhere and is like it's 3 o clock and they actually don't mean that with anything to do with the actual general agreed upon time but rather to them whatever their totally off clock at home says is just the correct time no matter what 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 5mguy who defines all time in hours since they last woke up and doesnt indicate this so they say 1 o clock and then mean i woke up an hour ago 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 8mdoes anyone else sometimes get off one stop ahead or behind your usual one just to keep things interesting and then it sucks ass because you have to walk another mile or something so you don't do it again forever but you're like yeah i test things. im like a scientist 000

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 15msaw basal in context again and honestly while it's occasionally used negatively i do like it a lot more in circumstances like "basal clade", cuz base is like foundation, the origin point all these modifications diverge and stand upon 010
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 26mlike, joint locks for instance, which are based not only on knowing how to apply pressure but knowing where you can apply pressure effectively to make it extremely difficult and painful for another person to move. you wouldn't need a humanoid body to understand the weakpoints 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 34mhonestly thinking about it real martial arts is just as much about knowing the weaknesses of the human body as it is about knowing how to move yourself, so you could justify fighting type on something that's a specialized adaptive hunter to some degree. like portia or something 120
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 38manyway whenever i think about an alien species with a legitimately different body plan i also sometimes ponder how the human history of martial arts is all about how to maximize your body vs another human's body. love thinking about how other species would wrestletrain bsky.app/profile/narf... 000

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 41mlike it's both a "zomg so badass" ridiculous shonen type thing but there's something legit interesting to me about a guy who's like "everyone always always leans on their weaponry, but you don't really need it to disable the enemy". guy ducks your heat hawk n just starts throwing punches tf you do 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 43mbsky.app/profile/narf... one of my silly things i ramble about is that doan's mobile suit martial arts are legitimately goofy, but i don't think the baseline idea of a guy who's just an expert at "mecha combat without specialized weaponry" is actually a bad one. i would love a serious investigation 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 45mthe sheer defensive potential of the little torpedo oval... terrifying to ponder 010
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 46mnot a new thought i know but i do like when a fighting type isn't humanoid. it's one of those recurring things where the type's baseline is generally that so it's only expected but i'm honestly kind of fixated on the idea of martial-arts-applied-to-different-contexts-or-beings 220
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 52mi mentioned this last time but every time i see an assault vest kecleon set its always got moves like this so the exact impression i get is like lieutenant of the villain in an 80s action movie or something 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 53massault vest is soooo cool i love thinking about the personality mons that feel like assault vest fits on them have. that's why i keep thinking about kecleon and eelektross they have the arms and head for it and feel like the kind of being that would actually do guerilla shit to you 220
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 56mi like that umezu has the anti-psychic technique work in fourteen for the inexplicable alien chapter and then shows them executing it successfully vs george only for him to just immediately be completely immune to it. makes him seem like a bit of a "materialist ghost" somehow 010
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hmaybe as a camouflage-based organism kecleon possesses the umezu technique he always comes back to where when you're being hunted by a psychic enemy you have to imagine that you're an inanimate object and stop thinking about anything and you become almost invisible to them 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hi apologize for rting kecleon tribute so much i just like it and when i think about kecleon the thought returns to me 010

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hside note but while ledian's special defense seems to me like an indication of its unwavering spirit i like to think that kecleon's special defense is more an attempt to represent through its stats its capability to avoid detection / make attacks inaccurate 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hotherwise it feels a bit like you're trying to get the energy of writing the story of being the underdog without really being one 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hkind of guy who makes the villain legitimately kind of upset because they kept resisting in a way where it just wasn't even fun anymore and they sort of look back with irritation before moving on... there is an energy to it that only works when you're truly actually weak 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hi guess my argument with ledian is that i feel it being hopelessly weak but having very high special defense feels like a powerful story-telling element, like a shonen character who clearly is outmatched but earnestly kind of shocks the villain by not giving up even though they can't win in the end 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hthis is really the sort of boss which fascinates me for how tricky just having two turrets that fire aiming at you under certain conditions + a central pattern can be 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hmagic/special defense is always one of the strangest stats in games, like what exactly is your resilience to elemental attacks and stuff. i think it has a lot of metaphorical elements. for me ledian's unusually high special defense seems to imply conviction to fight even if it's pointless 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hactually though ive seen people go like why is ledian so weak lol what's the point why doesnt it have a damaging attack and to me i think what it really is is that ledian is the mumen rider of pokemon like it has an unwavering spirit of justice no matter how weak it is 100

The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hthey should give Ledian a flying-type punching move called Force of Will which uses its SpDef as the attack stat in damage calculation. this would not make ledian usable but it would give you something to click and cheer about 100
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hthey're weirdly cute in gradius iv's bizarre style. i always felt gradius iv isn't a very good looking game but it's also not a bad looking game either. it looks like legitimately only the way other weird old 3d games looked where i can't figure out how they managed to feel burnt up 000
The Endless Narf of the Waves @narfnra.bsky.social · 1hit probably feels so good to be a ducker and you have to escalate to a higher platform so you just ghost through it 110
