Sorry I hadn't been around as much here, hope everyone's doin' alright. Been working on some stuff, waiting on some stuff. And I started Metroid Dread. Got the Morph Ball, now I'm wondering around after getting some upgrades after that.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Got a little bit of art lined up this week. First one's of the Spider-Men. It's not my cleanest work, but I still like it. Gonna mostly save fan-art work for February, got some themed art I want to do for it. Already finished one and started the second one.

TBH no Pokémon games are hard.

Best way to play if you want challenge is to do what I do and make your own difficulty. I've started using Dragon Quest-esque Draconian Mode parameters during my playthrough and yeah, game's actually kinda tough now. Candace's Abomasnow almost wiped me out last night 'cause I stupidly left my Lopunny out when her Medicham was up and it killed her. Had no one besides Lopunny who could counter Abomasnow, and my rules don't permit me using items during battle, so revives and potions were no-nos. :drshrug:

Guess who’s back? Back again? Duxx is back, tell friend!

Next time, we finish this! It’s gonna take a short while, but hopefully not too long. See you then!
I was wondering where they were. This is ramping up.

The thing with Pokemon is that it relies on inexperience. It'a a kids game fiest and foremost. I thought Black was hard because I couldn't get past Elesa, only to find out about type matchups and then the game became a ****ing joke from there on out (I wiped like half the game with Samurott alone).

People say the older games are harder, but no, they did the same. Whitney could be cheesed because you can nab a Machop early on, Gen 1 was just a broken mess, and everything else falls apart with experience.

Ironically, the last 4 gens tend to have moments that are more difficult than the first 4. Gen 7 genuinely got difficult at times even though the rest if the game was still easy peasy

Gen 7 are the hardest games by far. Most others are only difficult due to the jank level curve (Looking at your GSC and HGSS)

Yep. Read it as a kid in a children's book if you believe it.
Yep. Although mostly from reading about Gilles de Rais, who has been credited as one of the inspirations behind Bluebeard, despite him not killing any wives.
I remembered when I first came across "Bluebeard" which was from one of the episodes of the "Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics" cartoon when I was a kid and there was this one particular scene where Josephine found out Bluebeard's secret that always gave me nightmares.

If Disney or any other animated studio were to adapt this, it will certainly be an uphill challenge to change a lot aspects such as the tone and parts of the story which is no easy task.

Gen 2 fans explaining why the ****ty level curve is actually good and makes the game harder (it makes 2 hard fights instead of 1)

Man I don't get it, do companies actually make any money off of this or is there some algorithm scanning the Internet and telling them "NFTs are huge rn"? At first I thought it was just my little bubble of people who I follow on social media and junk who hated NFTs and that's why they were still popular, but no it seems that the majority of web users don't want them, so how do random companies keep falling for it.

NFT is a buzzword that's attracting negative attention, which gets outrage clicks, which gets things trending and on people's minds.

Plus, rich old men sitting in investors' meetings hear it's the new funni word that make MONE so do thing make mone



All you need to know in the end, is that NFT stinky bad poopoo, don't do it.

Oh man this is really it isn't it? Like when companies get a boost in attention when they change their logos or slogans to something stupid for a week.

When's the last time you played the originals? Cryus's team was worse in the originals with poor movepools and 0 held items.
About six months ago.

So the fact That i didn't one shot all His Pokemon in That but i did in bdsp sticks out in my mind.

I'm not saying the old games are hard, I'm saying they are harder than the new stuff.
I dont know whats so hard to understand there. In the old games you actually needed a full team of Pokémon to beat the game but in the new stuff you just need your started and you can beat the game easily.

I think in BDSP's case the issue might just be How they programmed the friendship mechanic, since in this Max friendship gives you a high chance for crítical hits.
