I’ve never had the expectation for a Switch version, since the hardware is so underpowered. Anything could be ported to it with enough effort and squeezing in, as Nier and Witcher demonstrated, but the Xbox platform is basically Playstation’s equal. And already had FF13 and FF15.

This is beside the point but I still feel I need to bring it up:

Because there’s no order you HAVE to follow. But the gyms themselves are surrounded by wild pokemon appropriate to the gym’s level, and every gym challenge (as well as guards for the Star bases) offer a trainer at the appropriate level to make sure you know if you’re “ready” before going in.

Calling millionaire celebrities names is fine!

It’s what people tune in for.

I actually picked him because that was the moment I went out of order. By the gym descriptions, I couldn’t tell if the fourth gym was water or normal, so I picked normal. Turns out, he’s really the fifth gym, and while I was able to beat him, nearly my whole team fainted in doing so. (Plus I had no fighting type, so…

I think our expectations for, and demands of, AAA games has also contributed.

I dunno, I kinda liked it. They bill the Champion rank as this prestigious honor, but nothing’s stopping literally anyone in the school from claiming the rank. You meet multiple strong opponents through the game who aren’t even on the gym badge hunt, so it tracks that there would be something setting you apart from the…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone blame a “woke” reason for their problems that wasn’t just trying to avoid admitting the actual problem.

Unrelated but this has been bothering me and I didn’t want to google “Kanye” and start getting fed even more content about him in my feed than there already is:

You can be critical of multiple bad things at once, even when they’re not the same severity.

...”perceived” self-worth?

The difference between that freelance artist and the “normal job”, however, is that all the time spent on that project can’t be spent on other projects.

I really don’t feel good about this. Like, I feel gross reading it.

My deepest condolences for your awful situation. I’ve been there, and I don’t know what words from a stranger can truly make things “better”, but when I lost my grandmother who had been such a focal point of raising me and giving me a home to come to during college, the entire funeral was turned into a campaign rally…

Right? The only reason I even knew the classes existed was my brother when we were playing multiplayer. He decided to “go to class” and my reply was, “...what class?”

Yeah, the extreme jump in graphics absolutely justifies the jump to a new chapter instead of a new season. This also retroactively accounts for last season being kind of disappointing, as they were clearly moving the bulk of their effort to finishing this visual overhaul.

The fact is cool, but I feel the need to circle back to this:

Yeah, I’m hoping that once the race for Charizard dies down, we get to see more creative solutions like that.

I DIED TO THAT SAME SHADOW BALL ON THAT SAME JOLTEON.
