Larry is the most relatable character in the last 20+ years of Pokemon. Thank you for sharing his full story, never went through much of postgame T_T

I don’t want to play ‘life’!

While I get what you’re trying to say, just gonna throw this out there; a lot of the “everyday” activities described here are still escapism for someone like me, who has only ever lived in an American suburban sprawl environment where these are absolutely not common everyday occurrences that I can relate to.

nobody with an ounce of integrity collects these for real

“No, honest, Mom and Dad! There value will go up again!”

do you really think that the company selling cringe PVC garbage cares an ounce for the environment? Like, for real?

“Surely this iteration of beanie babies will have staying power!”

Dammit, where were you when Funko needed you the most!?

Funko building a whole-ass IPO on what was clearly a fad is just fucking astounding to me.

Many Social Platforms have clauses in their Terms of Use that allow them to kick you off the platform for “ Any Or No Particular Reason “ which covers their bases on a lot of conditions legally

Moist/Penguinz has been covering this guy for a bit now, and holy shit, what a subhuman. I mean, damn, he’s unhinged, and he’s probably going to end up hurting himself or someone else. At minimum he needs to no longer have a platform he can “perform” on, Kick needs to held accountable, it can’t just be known as the…
