Outplaying the fakeout brothers with milotic and indeedee is perhaps the single most satisfying thing in vgc

The self righteous fury of an old person, who is convinced they are extremely competent, when they struggle to do something trivial may be the underlying force driving the world to extinction

Legends Z-A review. Game is good, story is bad, combat is a successful spin on a traditional series. Hope Game Freak continues to iterate on this design, it's a good one.

Credits rolled. I think this is the worst written plot in a game I've played to completion... maybe ever? Holy shit why is the entire plot the same repetitive cycle? Why is every character a trope with no development and a million lines of dialogue? Why is every cutscene so overanimated?

Really enjoyed Scott Jenson's previous Ubuntu conference talk, and this one builds on it well. I really wish FOSS was more open to understanding the fact their average UX is fucking offensive. It's not easy but its so important and there's so much pointless resistance by stubborn dickheads.

Been playing Pokemon Legends Z-A while sick this weekend and I have two thoughts: 1. The gameplay is surprisingly good 2. The writing is bad even by Game Freak's standards. It's like a monster of the week type deal except the monsters are whacky trope characters. Why bro?

Think Forever has its hooks in me, but holy shit I am not looking forward to engaging with WOW players again.

I win this shit bro. There is no justice in a bad world with hypnosis Milotic players...

Fish @sofisht.ink · 16/09/2026

the issues have been solved, this team feels fucking insane. Hisuian Arcanine is completely broken this format, Farigiraf makes the fakeout bros sad, and this Mawile spread is the perfect speed tier for Tailwind and TR. Big fan. Only concern atm is using Mence+Mawile is awkward.

Pokemon Champions Team: Mawile, Tyranitar, Milotic, Farigiraf, Arcanine-H, Salamence

Got annoyed that all the best resources for refreshing my memory of Pokemon stat optimization were either 15 years old or in YouTube videos and Discords so I made my own. Open to suggestions for additions! sofisht.ink/vgc-stat-opt...

Back to Masterball. Early regulation ladder has insane knowledge checks but I dig this team.

Fish @sofisht.ink · 12/09/2026

I appreciate Blizzard continuing to try to sustain their older games, but I really am not confident that theyre going to put out something quality. Vanilla is a pretty special experience, and if Forever ends up replicating that feeling it'll be fantastic... but I'm extremely skeptical.

Installed pokemon go to get mons to trade to friends so I could bum mons off them in home and I think this game is the all-time GOAT at squandering an amazing concept on a truly terrible game. This shit sucks insane amounts of balls.

Playing and doing some buildcraft today in the new VGC regulation and I'm gonna take a while to wrap my head around it I think. Modern hard TR teams, Rillaboom, seed Sneasler, Psyspam are all new since I last played much VGC. Looks fun but I need more guidance to build a proper team.

Right as VGC and Dragons Dogma II call me, OSRS releases two quests and doesn't nerf the insanely busto amulet.... there is simply not enough time in the day.

Done. Technically (if you squint) done in one day. No home all gamba, sandroom mawile to the top. Fuck archaludon, fuck kingambit, fuck the nation of japan for raising a generation of ladder cheese enthusiasts. Buff mawile

I have been pingponging around ultra 1 in champions since I got off work. My conclusions so far are that Kingambit and Archaludon are two of the most egregious designs of all time holy fuck they are both so insanely miserable

Trend of folks being more and more dependent on their hobbies as a means of coping with life, while also incapable of coping with any intrusion upon their comfort, is a bit spooky. Genuine inability to address people as people because of your videogame-shaped blinders is so not okay, please unplug.

Fun little side quest. Love these little early game adds that actually have implications for mid game too.

I can't wrap my head around the fact that the AI-booster Linux distro is making this much noise despite all evidence that it's just the worst Arch derivative possible? Like if I actively tried to make a worse Arch-based distro I'm not sure I could. AI brainrot ecosystem thing and all but fuck me

Anyone have a preferred way to get things 3D printed on the cheap if you don't own one? Considering libraries and maker spaces but they seem like a bit of a faff given how little I'd use the space. Anyone used printing services online and found one they like that's cheap?

As I get older, and games look more realistic, killing humans in games has really affected me. It's one thing to run over a low poly action figure, it's another to run over a fully simulated replica of a living human.
