The "What Are You Doing This Moment" Thread

[Phylactery]

Marking mock exam papers for my class and one of the questions is about making a criticism of some working that is shown but is wrong. And one student has responded with “I don’t want to as I don’t like criticising people.”

 

[Slammed]

That sounds like the story that has been doing the rounds for years where the young girl was asked on a math test to calculate how much a girl weighs based on the data given and her supposed response was that it was rude to weight shame a person and therefore she refused to answer the question.

Wrote my first guitar solo. Gotta practice it more. Actually pretty proud of it.

Nice one bro.

Breakfast. I'm eating corn flakes and big news, I started drinking my blakk tea with honey. Should help with my random hypoglycemic episodes.

 

[Sophii]

Playing GTA5 and goddamn I missed it. Can't wait to get Trevor

@CiG
How do you feel about Pokemon Black/White/BW2?

 

[CiG]

Fuck I don't know, I haven't played it in ages.

 

[Sophii]

Fair enough man. Been thinking about picking it up again.

Mostly because of N. One of the best written characters in a Pokemon game.

 

[CiG]

They all kinda blur together for me at this point tbh. Currently playing Moon (left my file too long so I deleted it and started again) and once I'm done with that, I'm moving on to Sword which I bought the other day.



N might be one of the few memorable characters in the games haha.

I am listening to music on shuffle. The current song is Dark Fortress - Satan Bled. Previous song was Marduk - Cold Mouth Prayer

Am also enjoying a cup of coffee.

I was asking myself earlier if Mikael Akerfeldt and Peter Tagtgren had ever recorded vocals together on the same track for Bloodbath (and thinking how cool it would be).

Does anyone know if that ever happened? ..Google search wasn't helpful. Personal Message me if it has been done.

Please excuse my ignorance and let me know if this has happened. I spent several years in prison (lol) recently.. and am a bit behind on things.
Also, I figured that this would be a good chance to get my first newbie post. Pantera was my first heavy metal band. I believe I was nine years old.

Thanks for reading. Sorry for the long post.

Pretty sure they were never in the band at the same time.

Tbh I was never big into gen 5. I'm knowledgeable about gens 1-4, and 7 cause Sun and Moon were fun games with good Pokemon. But the ugly sprites and the Pokemon themselves turned me off of the gen 5 games.

 

[Krow]

I really disliked gen 5.

I hate that most the Pokémon seem to be reskins is of first gen. The starters fucking suck too. Samurott and Serperior are just awful. Emboar might have been okay if Blaziken and Infernape weren’t so much better.

Spoiler

Did we really need some of these Pokémon redone when they all could have just been in the game?

worst offenders for me:

Zebstrika - obvious Ponyta reskin
Gigalith - why did we need Golem to look different? Why not just include him instead?
Swoobat - someone actually okayed a new Zubat family
Audino - weak Chansey do over
Conkeldurr - admittedly I like him better than Machamp but why not just include Machamp and do the trade evolution with any other type double evo?
Seismitoad - really lame and no better than the Poliwrath or Politoed it’s copycatting oh and it’s shit compared to
swampert too
Sawk/Throh - absolutely abhorrent Hitmonripoffs
Vanilluxe - ice cream?...
Klingklang - 2 gear 3 gear... 4 gears.
Beheeyem - does anyone even remember this retarded thing exists?
A fuckton of lame legendaries...

The legendaries of the gen were super cancerous to online play also. Every fucking team had a Thundurus or Landorus. The horse dog whatever-ion legendary dog redos did nothing for me either. Admittedly the second half of the Pokédex before the legendaries is pretty alright but by the time you get to the cooler pokes you’ve trudged halfway through the game.

As ironic as that is, Gen 5 was the BEST era for the Pokemon meta. Whether you care about competitive mons or not, Gen 5 was the peak of the metagame.

Yeah I'll agree that a lot of the mons are trash, but as far as gym leaders and elite 4 goes, I think its absolutely solid.

 

[CiG]

Gen 5 gave me Klink so I'm happy. That said, every gen had a bunch of lame/nonsensical trash I didn't like, and gen 1 gave us Charizard who should be cooler if only he didn't look like an obese dragon that skipped arm day.

Also I have a sweet spot for retarded shit like Trubbish/Garbodor.

 

[Sophii]

I really like Vanilluxe too. Ice cream is a fucking monster machine.

Klinklang is a fucking beast too.
Excadrill is the better Dugtrio.

I dont understand how Charizard is so popular. Guess its because of the anime? The TCG?

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Gen 5 had the worst Pokémon designs but everything else about the gen was great. The mechanical updates, the world design, the music, N, etc etc. Gen 6 by contrast had amazing Pokémon design (the Kalos starters were sooo cool) but everything else about X/Y sucked. The Gen 3 remakes were great though.

 

[CiG]

Wasn't much of a fan of the gen 6 starters. Froakie is aight, the other two sucked balls aesthetically imo. Gen 5 starters only had 1 I liked too, Tepig. Emboar is brolic af.



Edit: I like all the starters from gen 1 to 4 though, no weak links imo.

@CiG @jimmy101 and professor @Slammed
looks like you guys have a city in Victoria that is named after Mt. Ararat.
