Hello! Would you all happen to have any baby Lileep care tips?

-@justalileepguy

Oh I just saw the video on your blog, Lily! Congratulations on the little guys!!!

Lileep are honestly such a delight to work with in general, especially when they're newly hatched! They're oh so silly, and i've had more lileep babies than I can count attempt to cling to my arms and take a nibble or two(Luckily they don't hurt too much hehe)

In the nursery wing when we have babies we usually keep them in a shallower tank until their roots come in so that they're not subject to the whims of the stronger currents of our larger tanks(Don't want them getting caught up against the filters or anything! It's much easier to guarantee their safety if they're in a controlled area)

I'm not sure what the currents are like in your aquarium- but if you have particularly strong currents you'll want to either keep a hold of them with your tentacles, or find a place with a calmer current for them to hang out.

It shouldn't take long for them to grow in their roots that let them properly cling to rocks, and from that point on they should be a-okay on the mobility front (or lack thereof hehe)

I'm sure you have diet handled, but you'll need to make sure to keep meals small enough for them to swallow, you may need to break up a fish fry into smaller chunks.

And uhhh I think that's all I got, happy parenting, Lily!

bsd pokemon au where odasaku had a crobat and upon his death he gives it to dazai with his "be on the side that saves people" speech. the crobat absolutely has all of odasaku's mannerisms when it comes to dazai.

but here's the thing: the agency thinks that the crobat is dazai's, so they think 'oh he can't be all that bad'.

dazai's pokemon is actually an unevolved buneary that he's had for close to 7 yrs whose frustration is at max power.

crobat is the only pokemon dazai takes care of as he sees the pokemon as an extension of odasaku.

are we posting 3ds images? here's mine

had this one since 2016, and been on homebrew since 2020 - original 3ds got fucked up real bad. fun notes

n3dsXL with a 32g SD and a few fun quirks - mainly, the bottom screen replacement which lost me a working home button and gained me a new stylus that the repair guy gave me. i use a homebrew app to remap ZL+ZR to the home button, but it doesn't work in DS mode.. sad!

the slash folder is homebrew, the asterisk is system apps, and the P is every picross game - i also have a shit ton of pokemon games on cartridge, alongside some misc games

theme is randomized from a small set

also functions as a solid mp3 player that gets me thru bus rides - i have a bunch of songs downloaded to the SD, mostly ultrakill OST and a few breakcore albums because the music needs to be loud enough to drown out the bus sounds.

(glue here)

this is seriously SUCH a cool ds both on the outside and inside. things that grabbed my attention: wall-e sticker, trans axolotl swimming through star sticker, rhythm heaven megamix (based), and the flipnote frogs kissing.

i liked reading ur console's medical records, its quirks, how it's an mp3 player, AGH!! i love seeing well-loved things, and this looks well loved to me. thanks for sending this in :D

Wait, is it still possible to mod a 3ds even though the servers are down now?

Yup! The only servers that are down are the Official Nintendo Servers(like what would host pokemon bank transfers). Wifi connection works fine(like internet browsing)!

All you need to hack a 3ds is a PC that can read the sd cards your system using(micro or normal), an sd card of at least 4 gb but i reccomend 32 if you want to load games onto it, and a screwdriver to pop the back of the system open. Oh, and a wifi connection.

@three-dee-ess 's pinned post has all the links you should need. Follow the instructions and happy modding!

Also, if you're missing the Nintendo 3ds network, modders are already working on mimicking it. I think it's called the pretendo network? No clue on the progress on that one though, since the networks shut down so recently. But the 3ds modding scene is huge, I'd give it like a year at most before they get it working perfectly lol

Happy train day!

Only remembered this was happening last night so here's a quick sketch of our subway bosses and their depot agents! Figured I'd also use this as an excuse to finally post my depot agent ocs cause they come up a lot in my Submas AUs even if they aren't onscreen.

Isadore and Keo are both employees from the singles department, so they mainly work with/under Ingo. Isadore is a fighter on the SS lines, while Keo works in the office with Ingo, though on occasion he will also fight on the SS lines when Ingo is absent. Both of them are from outside Unova (Isadore is from Hellan and Keo is from Panil) and as such have different pokemon than those typically seen on the subway.

Riley and Mamoru are employees from the doubles department, they work with Emmet. Riley works as Emmet's assistant, so she stays in the office a lot. She also takes Emmet's place on the SD lines when he's not at work. Mamoru currently works as the Battle Subway's lost and found manager. He keeps track of lost items, takes care of lost pokemon, and logs everything that he finds or returns from his office. Mamoru used to work directly below the Bosses as a Top Challenger, but after the rank was dismantled, he switched positions. Both for sentimentality and comfort, he wears his old challenger uniform with his lost and found band. Riley is from Unova, Mamoru moved in from Johto.

Generally Emmet is closer with his employees than Ingo, but they both work well and like being with their agents. The only exception is that Ingo doesn't like being around Mamoru, but that issue is personal not professional so they just mind their own business at work.

Hope you guys like the art and I'll hopefully see you soon when my schoolwork is done.

2011 Haylor Timeline

Timeline Tag

We don’t know the whole story

Although Harry and Taylor have never said when they met or started dating, often assumed to have met At the March 2012 Kids Choice Awards, because it was the first time we saw them together. 2 weeks after the awards Justin Bieber said a superstar liked Harry, but didn't name Taylor or say they met at the awards. I have a post about the Kids Choice awards/IKYWT Secret message and Harry's Jacket here.

A source close to Taylor later said to Vanity Fair he had chased her for a year, before the started dating, which was also before he kissed Emily Ostily on the 21 April 2012 and Taylor posted about infidelities to Instagram on 23 April 2012 (which doesn't make sense if they met 24 days earlier).

That would indicate they had met by March 2011. Which is likely as they were in the same city and locations throughout 2011. In 2014 Taylor told Rolling Stone:

"People think they know the whole narrative of my life, I think maybe that line is there to remind people that there are really big things they don’t know about."

As Taylor said to Time Magazine in 2023 and Harry said to Howard Stern in 2019 it's not in their interests for a new relationship to be public before they are solid.  In Harry's words 'it's never benefited me' for a relationship to be public. In 2011 people were sent death threats for having dinner with him. It's no wonder they were hidden for most of that time.  Special thanks to @cntfightmydemonsthyknowhowtoswim for help with this. You are the best.

Every Game I Played in 2023, Ranked

I debated moving this list to Cohost (after all these years, the Tumblr text post interface still makes me want to punch a wall) but whatever, here we are! Keeping it relatively short this year.

A lot of the games I played aren't going to be on this list because I don't have much new to say about them (MTG, Dwarf Fortress, Strive, etc), but for those that I do, here's the games I played this year.

2015 | 2016 | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | 2022

SD Gundam Battle Alliance - 2022 - Steam - ★★★

I really wanted to like this- you know I like me some Gundam- but the experience is simultaneously too thin, too grindy, and bereft of stakes. There's nothing like "oh no we have to preserve the Gundam metaverse from hackers ruining the archived story!" to make me go to sleep.

There's something about the progression system of every "hey, gotta catch 'em all!"-ish Gundam games that is designed exclusively for people who either played these games in the early 00s, or people with addictive personalities. There's been little in the way of evolution. Yeah, the gameplay here is different as a sort of Action RPG, but this is far more Dynasty Warriors than it is say Armored Core.

Just not for me!

... Where's my new Super Robot Wars at damn it?

9. Pokemon Scarlet/Violet DLC - 2023 - Switch - ★★★★

I talked last year about how I mostly liked this game in spite of its many, many issues. The DLC mostly plays to SV's strengths: fun plot and characters, improved open world catching system from Sword/Shield. They also run considerably better, due to a year of opportunity to make things more stable and address bugs.

That said: It doesn't address any of the other issues that have always been there. Open world exploration becomes kind of pointless when you have the ability to invalidate any level geometry. There is such a thing as too much mobility, believe it or not, when you can just jump over everything. At the same time, the ways cutscenes work is soooo slowwwww, to the point that getting through them to the "action" can be quite tedious.

This DLC also continues the unfortunate thing that drives me nuts about all these DLC, that the level scaling is just awful. It basically assumes you have done literally nothing since finishing Scarlet Violet, and not engaged at all with the post game. Which hey, works out for Lil Timmy who is experiencing this DLC in-line with the base game or only after beating it (since it does dynamically scale for earlier progression), but it makes the whole thing kind of a rote exercise for those who actually played the game more than that?

I realize this is multiple decades now of me barking that hey, it'd be nice if Pokemon didn't exclusively try to appeal to 5 year olds, which is definitely a lost cause at this point. We don't even get stuff like Battle Towers or Frontiers anymore really. Ah well!

8. Street Fighter 6 - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★

Ok, here's the thing: Street Fighter 6 is overall a very good game, lots of care and polish, but I got a few bones to pick with it.

1. I kind of hate its input buffer. Just drives me nuts, particularly with how it handles supers and specials with overlapping inputs.

2. World Tour while is neat, the progression of it is so goddamn grindy and miserable. So much HP for enemies as you go on, and you don't have access to a fighter's full skill set even at the very end due to how special "slots" work.

3. The cast feels too safe. I like the new additions a lot, and in general the old chars have been rendered quite well, but there's just not a lot of innovation going on. The system mechanics are quite good, but it's the thing where no one on the cast really calls out to me. Personal taste thing.

Marvel's Spider-Man - 2022 - Steam - ★★★★

I don't think I have anything particularly unique to say about The Spider-Man Experience beyond hey: that's a pretty good Spider-Man. I think the DLC was obnoxious as shit, and a number of the decisions tied to box-checking-completionist stuff were mean for someone like me who has the stupid brain that thinks it's important to do Everything no matter how tedious it is, but overall: a good Spider-Man. Some of the villain stuff felt pretty weak though.

7. Resident Evil 4 Remake - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★★

A great remake! They trimmed down some areas a fair but, but none of them particularly egregious (some of them, particularly a last act boss being removed, was quite appreciated), and the mechanical additions are fun.

Does it invalidate the old version? I dunno, maybe?

6. We Love Katamari Re:Roll - 2023 - Steam / Switch - ★★★★★

Hey, you know what's also a very good game? We Love Katamari. Not much new to say beyond hey: the name is accurate, and you should buy and play it. I liked it enough to buy it twice on two platforms, which is silly but it gave me the excuse to play more Katamari so quite understandable.

A thing that does annoy me about the game is them reusing certain models from the other Katamari Remake, even when they were deliberately replaced in We Love Katamari and are even called out as different in the item descriptions despite not being so. Arrgh. It doesn't really matter, but I got the dumb brain for that kind of thing.

5. Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★★

A fighting game that I enjoyed years past now has actually good netcode! The mechanical additions have been very nice, and I've been enjoying myself grinding away for my meager gains. It's also funny having skipped all the base game's DLC and coming in now, since it's like this release just added 20 more chars I'd otherwise not engaged with before.

A ton of polish has made this a fantastic package across the board, so many smart decisions and little details. I'm sure for GranBlue gacha fans it's probably incredible as something that pays tribute as well.

… but see, my main annoyance with the game mostly ties to being unable to stand the source material it pulls from. It's not enough to diminish my positive feelings for the game, but none the less: man, everything about the lore and characters themselves just does NOTHING for me. This is nothing particularly unique to GranBlue itself even, it's pretty in line with how I feel about every gacha title that exists to roll out chars and appeal to as many niches as possible without real forward movement or actual story, but hey here we are.

Looking forward to that 2B.

4. Baldur's Gate 3 - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★★

A game I admittedly haven't completed yet (I got up to a certain kidnapping in the last act and had to set it aside due to stuff repeatedly coming up for the past couple months) but still: this is a very good tactical RPG. I enjoy the writing, characters, and gameplay quite a lot. A ton of polish went into this.

I don't think I have much to say about it that hasn't been said by others, especially with all the Discourse that has circled it for months-to-years now across Early Access into release.

If there's one thing that does kind of annoy me about the game design, it's the way the player characters are handled. You have the option during character creator to create a character with a number of character-build-y backgrounds, or use their pre-built characters that have existing stories. This choice is lose-lose.

A fully custom character is blank, unimportant. There's nothing special about them beyond their affinity with a certain orb and being Protagonist Man. Their background doesn't really matter, even as you express your personality. You have nothing behind you that meaningfully comes up or affects the story (no Gorion, etc) beyond your role in the conflict. In other words, there's not a lot of reason for you to exist except as a cypher for the named characters.

Playing one of the named characters also sucks, because you lose those the writing for those characters. If I'm stuck aping Karlach, I have no Karlach in my party. You barely even get voice acting once you choose to play those characters either. You effectively end up with less writing and characterization, which kind of sucks! Yes, you do get your backgrounds being looped in and mattering more, which is indeed something, but not enough.

There is secretly a third option that, the more I think about it, is the correct one, they just don't tell you it. You can choose your character background to be tied to the Dark Urge, which results in a lot unique interactions, gives your character an actual background and comes up, etc. They don't outright make this the main option presumably because it comes with a lot of baggage (which, yeah, it does), but it seems completely worth it by comparison to just flitting through the story as either a ghost or the phantom of a real character.

3. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Remastered - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★★

Play Ghost Trick.

2. Armored Core VI - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★★

From Software continues to not miss. Fantastic game, some of the most satisfying mecha combat I've played. Story is great; it's still your usual "oops we're not explaining much other than in medias res or by circumstantial details" that From Soft has continued to double down on, but I really enjoy that stuff so hey. I 100%'d this game, got all the endings etc. Great stuff.

Really want some proper DLC so I can do even more, though.

1. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - 2023 - Steam - ★★★★★

Let's face it: this wasn't going to end any other way. Breath of the Wild is probably my favorite game of all time, and this is basically just more of that, remixed and remastered into a Second Quest that builds on the first one.

Something I kept thinking about while playing is that while there is volumetrically more to do, more things happening, more mechanics, etc etc, the different approach it takes in terms of focus and approach doesn't make it necessarily a "strictly better" version of Breath of the Wild.

Breath of the Wild was deliberately spare, quiet, and minimalist. Like the name says, its about the quiet wilderness, a poignant world that you explore. Tears of the Kingdom drops much of that, in many ways turning into a kooky madcap version of BOTW. You don't spent nearly as much time smelling the roses and taking in the scenery, as you're often too busy blasting by using any number of the new movement abilities or combat tools or literal flying machines you can now Nuts and Bolts together.

It's a deliberate escalation, one that in my opinion requires the preceding part to work. They add together into one complete singular experience, rather than pulling against each other. That's awesome, exactly what I wanted. Now I get to have two favorite games of all time that are secretly just one-and-the-same.

Some minor thoughts:

1. Lots of great writing and characterization, built up well on BOTW there.

2. It's kind of funny how much it goes out of the way to avoid talking much about BOTW in case someone plays this game first.

3. The last of a Master mode this time around is kind of a bummer but oh well!

4. The vehicle crafting system and everything about it, including the way it plays into the existing physics system is fucking insane. Absolutely incredible game design. Bonkers.

I'm really curious how the hell they're going to follow these games up. Going back to square-0 from this formula- one that is so built up and diverse, seems like it'd be impossible to me. What the hell could you do? Looking forward to finding out.

Fool that i am, I updated luma & twilight without first backing up my nand and sd card. post update, twilight was noticeably unstable, and after a crash while saving pokemon black my whole sd card was corrupted. hundreds of gigs of games and saves lost.

The console's fine. as is the memory card - at least physically. I'll be able to reformat the card and re-install all my games. but those saves are gone, including some old shiny pokemon, and many good parents.

I often endorse hacking your 3ds, and still do, but learn from my example - always backup your nand and memory card before firmware updates.

Last song: Forever by Aku P feat. SAROS! I've had a playlist with their voicebank on loop bc their voicebank is finally out and I'm so excited!!! They sound so good!!! :D Wedding Dance at the End of the World is another one of my favorites with them. This is now a SAROS propaganda post, go listen to them :P

Favorite color: ....pink, anyone could have guessed lol. Specifically pink+yellow and pink+light green. I also like blue and orange. Anything colorful will do tbh, I just really like bright colorful stuff

Last movie/TV show: The Star Beast!!! Doctor Who' sixtieth anniversary time!!!! :D

Sweet/spicy/savory?: sweet :3

Last thing I googled: ignoring the million series' names and characters' names I googled for references, 仮面ライダーSD 疾風伝説 [Kamen Rider SD: Hurricane Legend]. I will read that manga. That's a threat. >:P

Current obsession: Kamen Rider and other toku (this days specifically SD riders and Hybrid Insector. Research go brrrr) (and I guess my Pokemon au too? Won't leave my brain); Doctor Who obsession is coming back thanks to the anniversary; Splatoon and Sky Children of the Light bc I play both games way too much

X reader / self inserts / ocs aren't huge for me, but if it's a good idea, maybe! It mostly depends on the fandom, really! (like no reader for like.. bsd, but mushroom oasis? or games where you play as a "player" rather than a character, as example)

[touhouweed]

Hi touhouweed. I love seeing your posts on homebrewing and modding. I've got my 2ds I rarely use but want to homebrew to play Renegade Platinum- do you have an idea of where I could start?

I would definitely start with 3ds.Hacks.Guide, this site is a really good step by step manual to get your 2ds/3ds cracked open for homebrew (I think the guide has you install twilight menu++, but just in case, also install twilight menu++, this is what you will use to launch ds roms from your sd card)

after you have everything installed from there, you'll have to dump a Platinum Rom and patch it (I recommend the patch that comes with following pokemon pre-patched),

place the patched game in the :\roms\nds folder in your sd card (if that doesnt exist after homebrewing, create it c: ) and launch it from TM++!

You'll have to launch it from TM++ every time unless you install the NDS Forwarder app from Universal Updater (which I do believe the guide has you install, but once again just in case), launch the NDS Forwarder app from the Homebrew app, and navigate to where you saved your rom to create a block on the home screen that will launch Renegade Platinum! :)

Go enjoy game!!!!
