Over 4 pages of script with the default formatting options. I don't have all the footage I need, but I don't want to get bodied for days to collect it. Debating what to do with the footage that's redundant.
I'm probably done with playing Pokémon Champions. Will probably just log in, in hope of recruiting a shiny. My main fuel was building and refining my gimmick team for the tourney, but the tourney itself did not end up fun for me. Metronome was gonna extend the fuel.

*Pokémon Champions does not permit Metronome*
I built a whole team for it, dammit
???
Actually, don't tell me
The host graciously put me in the 1st matchup when I said I had a workout soon after the tourney. Hopefully I lose immediately I guess? I'll do my best, though.
Stream tomorrow will be 1 hour late, probably. I signed up for a Poké Champions small tournament, and forgot to check when it starts. And it does 1 hour before stream.
After seeing The Penguin, for a moment I thought he was rocking a giant pair of bazongas
Note to self: if I cross the threshold of Ultra Ball rank, I gotta bring a Metronome team and fuck around.
Screencap of a web page where only text is visible, but it is clearly a small chunk of the page. Readable chunk says: "It doesn't make any fucking sense that generative AI got this big. The returns aren't there, the outcomes aren't there, and any sensible society would've put a gun to a ChatGPT and aggressively pulled the trigger."
I've been reading on and off (I'm bad at reading) this article / blog post by Edward Zitron about "business idiots". I just got to this excerpt that encapsulates pretty much how everybody should feel about gen AI:.

Stream is happening tonight ; I am in the process of prepating!
Is there audience for video where I explain my team like I'm WolfeyVGC – but instead of being Worlds champion explaining how the mons match well against the meta, I explain that it matches really badly, actually? Also I can't show me winning a tourney because it would just be Great Ball rank 4ever.
I got my food out of the fridge, laid on the couch, and then fell asleep right then and there. How is work this exhausting?
No song playing around me:
My brain: 🏍🏍🏍🎸
I feel so 🎵
Far from home 🎵
Though you stand beside me 🎵
I feel alone 🎵

I hate being a party pooper, but "year of Capcom" kinda has a big hole in it, because of them rejecting a SAG-AFTRA contract for Mega Man Dual Override.

Me running a strat with bulky pokémon and a lot of healing in Pokémon Champions: This is so fun and funny. :)
Me when facing an opponent running a strat with bulky pokémon and a lot of healing: This is so frustrating and not fun to play against!!!! >:(
I am learning.
There's this chart of "important games to you" or whatever that's been shared around. I haven't been actually reading them, it's like 15 games or whatever. So...
My favorite video game of all time is The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GC).
Keeping it simple.
I bought Bayonetta 3 when it came out, and I'm finally gonna play it for the first time www.twitch.tv/skullpiratem...
Watercolour and ink painting of a cat-like creature with bright yellow eyes, a sparkly coat resembling a vibrant cosmos of blues and purples, antennae that look like little leafy branches, and a tail in a similar style. The background is black, with sparkles in pink, blue, purple, turquoise and gold.

I was thinking that using a gimmick team in Pokémon Champions helped with my VP spending because the constraints help with not changing every single aspect over time. But I did spend a massive amount building it in the 1st place.
I was skeptical of people claiming there are bot fights. But I was playing with a gimmick team, and it really highlights the difference in play. A player never lets me set up. A bot kind of clicks moves, indifferent of effectiveness. Thank fuck for bots tho, I need those VPs back.
I thought I was foolish for wondering if the animation would show sparkles if a shiny were in the line-up. Turns out, it does! Thanks for showing!
*I fell asleep multiple times today* and that's why no stream. :( My energy levels have been weird this week.
If I leave my laptop in Sleep Mode unpligged for any period of time, the battery will drain to almost 0. Any amount of time, and I press the Power button, and it will immediately go into Hibernation. Even when plugged back in!
Funerals are celebrations, despite the mood, so feeling pretty and a fit pic are really not inappropriate.
The funeral home called me today. They gave me an ultimatum of I have two months to pay, they’ve gone ahead with the cremation despite us not having the money. So please, if you can share and donate if you’re able. Thank you.
The worst crime of the game is not the limited roster (I like it), the bugs, nor missing information (eg dark type hard-countering Prankster). It's making me learn 1st hand VGC hell. I could have lived without experiencing Pelliper Archaludon turn 1 sweeps.
Illustration of a small thin white girl with grey hair and unusual generally grey outfit. Hair is tied up and to the right, directional pad and button accessories at the base of the ponytail. Green eyes. She has a floating choker that glows red. Her shirt left sleeve extends as fingerless glove, the right stopping at shoulder but she has a short glove with the same design, meaning grey with a dark blue wire as an accent. Shirt opens like a coat right under the breasts and extends down to knees. Tight chino pants with magenta buttons and one left has black diagonal stripes. Black high canvas shoes with white tips. Also 2 cables with visible plugs extend from the breast area on her shirt, go over the shoulders, then extend aside the coat.
