That, and my god, Hop, **** off. I'm sick of having to battle you almost every town. I don't mind Rival fights, in fact, I usually like them, but Hop, seriously man, go away. You pop up too goddamn much, even Nemona isn't as bad as you are, and Nemona has a single character trait, which IS battling.

I wonder if Hop would've gone over better if he gave one or two battles/appearances over to Marnie. His character arc is nice at least in concept, but it seems to get lost since many fans get annoyed with him due to how much he pops up. By contrast, Marnie feels the most underused of the rival trio and could use more screentime to flesh her out.

Marnie gets basically zero screentime. She pops up, and the next time she does she's declared herself your rival which is...???? Mate I barely KNOW you.


I get what they're going for with Hop, but it's TOO MUCH.

Wow! That was a super effective move! You sure do remember your type match-ups, huh?

Marnie had so little screentime and she was so heavily associated with the games "team rocket" that I though she was going to be the villain.

Team Yell as a whole is lame.

Marnie does nothing. Piers is responsible for the most infamous scene in the game. The grunts are obnoxious. And if you removed them from the plot nothing would really change.

Just throw the whole team away.

Hey now, Piers is based.


He stands with the idea that Dynamax sucks.
And he's right.

Finally finished Ahsoka, It was okay. I felt it had weird pacing and a bunch of other small problems that prevented me from loving it.

Also caught up to season 2 of Loki. Loki was always my favorite MCU show and it hasn't missed a beat with it's return. (It is also retroactively making me hate Quantumania more.)

My main solace is knowing I'm almost done with Gen 8 until I tackle the battle tower


Well, aside from Poffins in BDSP. I have ZERO clue how to max contest stats... that's going to be the real roadblock once the shiny hunt is over.

The sad thing is that Team Yell was only Sword/Shield's second worse evil team. At least people remember them.

Unlike Macro Cosmos, who just exist to drag the game's pace to a screeching halt for a game of hide-and-seek.

The New Goosebumps show is actually pretty decent.

A bit of a darker tone, and does a good job brining the books stories to light in a new way. It serves the franchise well, and the characters are even pretty enjoyable.

I’m intrigued to see how it ends, especially when we have the episode titles for the final 5.

Man, people are REALLY upset over the latest Minecraft Mob vote, huh?



....tbh, I don't blame them.


I don't see why they don't just add all 3 mobs. They have a history of straight up just never adding in any previous Mob Vote mobs to the game, so logically people are going to be both freaking out and frankly exhausted by this point. Game's a multi-billion dollar IP and they make people choose which 1 of 3 new mobs they want in the game, despite all 3 being honestly needed since all 3 biomes lack severe diversity.

I personally think so since Marnie is really underused and Hop pops up so much it feels overwhelming to me at least.
