| Topic | Favourite fully evolved fire starter pokemon? |
| Kenri 04/10/22 5:27:04 AM #106 | KamikazePotato posted... If you remove Charizard's pushing then you have to remove the pushing that every other Pokemon has received, and in a world where legendaries aren't given movies and Pikachu is just a rare electric Pokemon in Viridian forest, Charizard would absolutely be Top 10, at least among older fans who grew up with him. Like, what is so difficult to understand about a starter fire dragon resonating with young kids?I think if you swap the Charizard line with, like, Salamence, it probably does not end up top 10. Being a starter (and on the cover of the game, no less) is the biggest push there is. Really hard to say when we're dealing in counterfactuals like this though. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 04/09/22 5:00:52 PM #13 | I dislike most of these (even ones like Marshtomp and Croconaw where I like the rest of their lines) but Wartortle and Brionne are my favorites of their lines. I'll give Brionne the nod because it's a good girl and deserves more votes :( --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 04/09/22 2:30:59 AM #446 | LordoftheMorons posted... Full student debt cancellation is regressive (the average dollar of student debt is owned by a richer-than-average American), inflationary, and sets up really perverse incentives if costs aren't simultaneously addressed. It really doesn't make much sense to do it, especially now (and debtors have already had a pretty sizable amount of their debt eaten away by the interest freeze/inflation).Okay but consider this: I want democrats to be able to win elections. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 04/08/22 12:13:08 AM #422 | I agree that it was potentially bad optics to start off by saying "I'm going to nominate a black woman" -- but also, these people think it's "forced diversity" when a black person is in a commercial for Cheerios or whatever. You can't win that game and I sort of appreciate that Biden's not even bothering to play it. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 04/07/22 8:41:15 PM #27 | KamikazePotato posted... This set is one of the best examples of the degradation of Pokemon's overall art style. Every subsequent Pokemon looks less like a fantastical living creature and more like a weird cartoon character. Early designs incorporate body proportions that make sense, and they look way better for it.I've felt this way about a lot of other days but I actually don't think it's particularly true of this group. Blaziken onward they're all just weird people, so the body proportions aren't as out of place, or at least it's not as apparent that they are. Also Typhlosion is kind of just a Dorito, but I think that's this specific art's fault and not an innate design issue. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 04/05/22 5:16:51 PM #17 | DeepsPraw posted... Complete opposite for me. Processed food tastes the same as it always has, but it's exceedingly rare to find quality produceOh this is definitely true. I guess I just didn't connect it to the topic because it's not the same situation as like, ice cream or Oreos or what have you. I got good green beans the other day and they're legitimately the first good ones I've had in more than half a decade. Not sure what's gone wrong, there. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Topic | Food is lower quality than it used to be. |
| Kenri 04/05/22 4:55:13 PM #13 | Maybe it's because I don't buy many processed foods, but I haven't really noticed the quality going down. Definitely have noticed it for ice cream, though, and I've definitely noticed the price going up a lot even compared to a few years ago. Beer is my go-to example for the latter. It's so hard to find decent beer for a buck a bottle anymore, even on sale, when that used to be on the lower end of standard non-sale price! --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Topic | As you get older, do you tend to look for games with shorter playtimes? |
| Kenri 04/04/22 6:57:05 PM #4 | I don't necessarily look for shorter games, but they're definitely the ones I'm more likely to actually play after buying lol More so than just total playtime, I prefer games that are easy to pick up and put down. There's no faster way to make me not want to play a game than to put hours between opportunities to save, for instance. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 04/03/22 2:51:08 PM #8 | Grovyle is one of the best mid-stages out there and easily gets my vote, though I like Ivysaur too.

| Kenri 04/01/22 11:51:50 AM #17 | I voted 100-300 but I'm probably actually on the lower end of the next tier up. All I can really do is estimate based on the number of games I've beaten though. I had a solid 6 or so years in my 20s where I really only played multiplayer games, otherwise I think I might break 600 --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 03/29/22 11:07:48 PM #9 | To put it charitably, this game's plot is extremely goofy. Even by Xenosaga standards it barely makes sense, it ties up hanging plot threads in very uninteresting ways (while still ignoring a lot of them), and a lot of the new stuff it introduces is just. Completely stupid. It also has a lot of character anti-development, with Shion just being completely irredeemable as the most obvious example. I agree with Leon that the ending is awful. 3/10, definitely the trilogy's low point story-wise. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

How are they?Canvas Curse is VERY good but it's barely a Kirby game, at least in terms of mechanics. Squeak Squad is an extremely generic/mediocre Kirby 2D platformer and I would pass on Mass Attack completely. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Topic | What are some games you like despite not liking the gameplay? |
| Kenri 03/20/22 8:12:22 PM #38 | Portal, kinda. I don't mind the puzzles at all but they aren't the draw. Contact (DS) is probably a purer example, that game's gameplay is mediocre at best but I love the writing and almost everything else about it. Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins of the Moon (Wii) is a gorgeous game in almost all respects, but the combat is pretty clunky and unfun. ...I skimmed through a list of all the games I've beaten and those are the only 3 that stand out to me. Usually I don't like games with bad gameplay! --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 03/18/22 2:20:24 PM #20 | 8/10 My opinion of this one has only improved over time from playing more FEs and other RPGs. It avoids a lot of the standard clichs of the series and genre because it's about a bunch of shadow conflicts instead of outright war or direct confrontation with the major villains. Definitely the least "generic FE story" of the whole series. It's kind of creepy and dark and is simultaneously the FE with some of the fewest fantasy elements and also some of the most major ones. It also does a great job telling the same story from two perspectives and keeping it interesting despite following the same events. It's a big balancing act and I think it works. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |
