  1. Really weighted down with stress from work and paying bills right now.  So I have a non-work related question for ya'll take my mind off of things.  What kind of interest would there be from some of you if I were to attempt a film-related podcast or YT series?  I don't really know where to start on any of that, but I've always enjoyed reviewing and discussing film and cinema history, and something like a podcast is something I've mulled more than once in the past.  Probably would have to find someone else to do it with, but I just want to get a general sense of if people have any interest in my thoughts on film and other creative enterprises.

  2. I swear I am falling apart. First I learn I have a damaged steel bone so I'll be suffering knee pains whenever I exert too much pressure on it for prolonged time.

    Then I break one of metatarsals due to overburdening it somehow and now my thumb is acting up.

    Can I just become a gelatinous pile of skin and body parts and get rid of this useless skeleton?

  3. There's not nearly enough Nyx art out there. The solution seems simple, I could draw some myself. :D But uhhh. . . you don't want to see my drawing skills. :sealed:

    In all seriousness though, I recently got a drawing tablet. I think it'll be a loooooong time before I can make something decent enough to show without hiding my face in shame, but if I do I'll be sure to share it. post-25189-0-33094200-1412626540.png

  4. I'm on to you, Pokémon Company!

     Been doing some research. Oddly enough, no one has tabulated how many pokemon SPECIES there are. Sure, its easy enough to say that we're at some 800 pokemon these days, but when one entity can evolve some three times to triple the entries it has, that number is awfully inflated.

     In the spirit of narrowing it down to actual individual pokemon you can meet & logically discerning its "evolutions" as a natural part of its growth process, we can come to a more distinct term of what a pokemon "Species" is.

     Excluding alternate forms that're intrinsic to the pokemon's biological talents or the temporary anomaly of Mega-Evolution, we can see that as an addition onto prior capabilities. To whit, Arceus, Type: Null, Castform & Ditto are Normal types to use as a sort of "catch-all" typing. Counting Regional Variants as distinct species due to irreversible changes, though Oricorio is an exception due to its capacity for one individual to "magically" change itself to fit its location by trait of diet. In the Exeggutor example, even if the evolution happens to both be grass despite divergent evolution... still counts as separate species.

     "Ultra Beasts" are excluded. By merit of being so far out of the world's capacity to understand and only loosely fitting into what typings are attributed. Not unlike a Bidoof existing in the real world & defying normal human's capacity to classify. 

     And so, as follows in order of least to greatest, The amount of each Pokémon Species in accordance to typing, and thereby the equivalent rarity of typing:

     Starting off, of course, with my favorite: The Ice Typing! Clocking in at only 22 individual species!

    (Ice types? You probably haven't heard of them!~~*)

    Closely following by merit of logical rarity, the Dragons, at 26.

     Then, as following:

     Ghost: 27, Fighting: 28, Fifth place tie at 29 with Fairy & Poison (Despite there not being any cases of a Poison/Fairy), Electric at 30, Dark: 31, Fire: 33 (Quite low for what's supposed to be one of the three most important & famous typings.), Two ties in a row here at Ninth place being Rock & Steel (due greatly to both types commonly interacting) at 34, then again with Bug & Ground at 36, Grass abundant as it should be at 46, and from here, the numbers climb quite suspiciously high with the Twelfth spot of Psychic at 50 species (because, of course, when you're magic, it matters little where your evolve to live), Flying at 61 due mostly to its vast capacity to splash into so many other typings as shown in the secondmost common typing, with due reason...

     Normal types at Sixty-Four cases. Which is greatly inflated due to thirteen of those cases being Normal/Flying and essentially just Birb. In some two more generations, I can see that number rising high enough to merit a Nineteenth type of just Birb. At thirteen cases of Birb, that essentially credits Flying as being approximately over 20% of Normal's typing as well.

     And... in what would require a drumroll of dramaticness sake were it not already obvious to most, the Most Common Species in the Pokémon world!... Water, at 68 species.

     What's important about all this... is that Patterns Develop!

    With this, I notice trends of how many species of a typing are made per generation... because, of course, Balance is of utmost importance to Game Freak, and this shows.  ...Shows so much, that I daresay I can predict what pokemon will come out now!

     Take Water for example. First generation was quite literally SWAMPED in water types, and it slowly trickled out to the point where, despite our last region being islands... we only had some eight designs for water bound animals... as opposed to the 16 we had in first gen. Sufficed to say, Galar won't be getting many fishies.

     But now the Ice typing... It's had a slow build. But an oddly even release of four species per generation... until these last two generations, where we got only two & then three... two of which were redesigns. Which either means Galar will be blanketed in Ice types... or they're phasing my typing out...

     In the merit of Dragon types, there's been a dependable ebb & flow of dragons in every game we've had. Off, then on again, reliably.And this generation... We're in for a tide of Dragons!!

  5. Pity you don't see more art of Library Forests! Old growth trees guarding the shelves of knowledge!~

  6. So I can't flesh out my sorcerer kitty because campaign will be short.

     

    However if I use them in another campaign I could flesh them out where their blood tries to take them over. Having dragonic blood and stormborn blood my characteristics change daily.

     

    Would roll a die with dm alone. Which would let us to determine which blood has taken over for the day, so if dragonic be more self centered, begin to build a horde, talk down to people. If stormborn be noble and loyal

  10. Really bothers me that I seem to only have, like, two others that actually read anything I do. Maybe I talk too much & it scares others away from leavin' a comment. Maybe i'm on the opposite time zone of everybody.

     Others seem to be avoiding me at work.

     Sure, I'm living with family... but they've got their own lives, reason & right to ignore me.

     Makes me wonder why I should bother trying to interact with anyone. 

  11. And people wonder why I quit.

  12. Now at PC still unsure how to give out a badge *fails*

  13. I forget if I've brought it up before, but there's nothing sweeter then going into the walk in freezers at work! It's quite rejuvenating to chill my lungs after continuously walking through the Boiling room. Sometimes I can even get ice crystals to form on my forearms!

     ...though I worry that going from a high seventies room to negative three or more so fast might be causing me health problems.

  17. I hate getting hooked up to a single song.

    Makes me want to go and spread it to the entire world, but the problem is the world just doesn't care! Damnit!

    ARGH I WANNA SPREAD THE MUSIC IN MY SOUL!

  18. Life's funny. You can sleep off a hangover, but you can't sleep off ugly.
