Serpentine's Secretly Sapphic Salacious Sacrarium of Random Banter #180

[LaZodiac]

Not got much experience with the battle subway myself, but if you're up for someone else having a go at your challenge, I'm trying to create a team that fits your stipulations.

My initial suggestion is the following (with suggested partial or completed movesets):

1)Gastrodon (with the storm drain ability)
Recover and Surf definites here, not sure what else to go for

2)Aerodactyl (Rock head- too frail for Pressure to be worthwhile)
Hone Claws to boost, Rockslide needed as well, might want a fang move and possibly roost

3)Golurk (Iron Fist for preference)
Earthquake hits multiple targets, Focus Punch and Shadow punch get boosted by Iron Fist and Substitute is something to hide behind

4)Forretress (Sturdy for preference)
Rapid Spin clears entry hazards, Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes provide your own, and U-Turn helps get you away from trappers.


Main focus here is resistance or immunity to the common multi-target moves in doubles, such as Earthquake, Rockslide, Discharge, Surf and sometimes Explosion/Selfdestruct and the ability to remove crippling entry hazards. Team is biased a little towards physical attacking rather than special, but I find them easier to build.

Hmm, this sounds pretty nice, though I'll have to grind Aerodactyl fossil's untill I get one with the right ability. Doesn't sound that bad though. Could you send me a PM with this team and the Natures and EV's I should try to get to make them better, please?

[Tragic_Comedian]

Well, somehow I showed up for class 2 hours early. Ah me.

Don't worry, you'll get into the groove soon!

So, I saw this video of this ten year old kid playing TF2 on a trade server (the kid wasn't recording, another guy was) who then got scammed out of nearly all of his items by this one guy. This kid loses it, starts dropping f-bombs left and right (eventually calling a guy a **** ****ing ****er). Near the end of the video, he mentions how he wants to join the marines because he would get to shoot people
Where were this kid's parents? Did they leave their ten-year old son at home? Were they there? Did they not hear him, or did they and they just didn't care? If my parents heard me talk like that at that age, I would be in gigantic trouble.

Sounds reasonable. Over here, it's more a rule than an exception that 10 years olds go home on their own (or together with friends) after school and handle themselves until their parent finish work.

You should just and check out Smogon.

I know I was home alone as a 10 year old. And my videogames were all in the basement. I probably wouldn't swear like that to people, but I definitely did swear with my friends when I was 10.

Sweet, T-Mobile is offering a $70 completely unlimited data plan just as I was looking for a new phone.
Hopefully they have decent coverage on the Cape.

Question is, who was recording the video?

Thanks Gwyn. I'm already improving. I hardly ever get lost now, and can get in and out of the dorm without setting off any alarms.

The average ten year old is perfectly capable of being left alone for a little while. As to the rest of it, that's just typical ten year old behavior. And different parents have different standards.

*Still imagines you smashing a window to get into your dorm even though he knows the door just goes off after 10 or whatever*

Yeah, I didn't swear as a ten year old (Still said H-E-double hockey-sticks.), but that isn't a shocking thing for now. If its online, its gonna be a ten year old screeching into a mic and thinking a swear every 4 words makes him badass. Sadly I got used to it.

Oh, Serp. This is the first time I confused the thread and your travel guide thread, ever. I almost posted this in there, until I noticed the thread title.

The fact that this doesn't surprise me at all is a sad testament to the degradation of society.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Because 10 year-olds only just now started to swear. This hasn't been happening for decades, nay, centuries.

Because I was referencing the swearing rather than being far too emotionally invested in a video game, and the fact that he wants to kill people.

Nah, society isn't degrading at all. People today are the same as people always have been. Same with kids. Teenagers are the only new development, socially.

Teens have become different? We're the same as a teen from the 80's, but with cell phones.

[Tragic_Comedian]

For most of history, there was no such thing as an adolescent. You were either a child or an adult. But like Gwyn said, everything's the same. I'm sure he doesn't really wanna kill people. He was just an angry little boy.

[AtlanteanTroll]

We have no proof that he was overly invested, and the latter's also not something remotely close to new.

Even 'childhood', as we understand it, is a relatively recent invention.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Aye, the social construct that is the teenager, and the idea of a separate "teenager culture" first arrived in, what, the 40s were the first hints? The idea of these teen-heartthrob characters, like Sinatra.

[LaZodiac]

Judging from the graffiti we've seen in Pompeii I think it's safe to say that a "teenage culture" started the instant humanity did.

Here is where I'd quote a line from a soldier saying he buggered three women in this location, but I forgot the name of said soldier. And sorry Python fans, it's not Biggus Dickus

Lewd remarks do not constitute a teenage culture.


ION: Guys, I've determined that I'm gonna have to stop sleeping all afternoon between classes, because I end up staying shut up and awake in the dorm all night doing homework and my social life is suffering.

I went to the bookstore today and bought all of my textbooks that I could for what money I had with me. I now have about 10 dollars to my name. I ate my last food this morning. Boy, I'm sure glad the weekend's coming; college has introduced me to a whole new level of poverty.

[MoonCat]

I went to Pompeii six years ago. There were... interesting drawings all over.

[Gwyn chan 'r Gwyll]

Some specific gladiators were very popular, so I hear...

Man, you've been everywhere Moonie. Wish I could go adventuring like you do

Did you know that the oil they used with their strigils (therefore containing all the dirt on their skins and their shed skin) would be collected and sold to fangirls as facecream?

I've only been to four states. And something over thirteen countries.

Yeah, I think I've read that somewhere.

*sigh*, I wish I understood what makes people tick.

.... Thanks Mooncat. Next time i see a girl with make-up on I'll be thinking about sweaty implied-to-be-gay men covered in half-dried mud

Which countries, oh well-travelled one? =3

[Tragic_Comedian]

I think we all do, but don't take Psychology hoping to find out. All you'll get for your trouble is a bunch of overpriced things you have to buy.

Impressive. I've...been to Alberta, in one city. And I've very briefly (ie, Airport Hotel) been to various other provinces on the way to New Brunswick once. That's it, never have left Canada.
