Surprised Chameleon go such short shrift. I know your focus is in the games but it had it's own arc in the anime and was the only one of the starters to evolve at all. It at least has that. But I'm a water guy so Squirtle all the way.

Don't worry, I've got your back.

Do it!

Shouldn't we have a Pokémon direct later in the month too? The anniversary one is usually late February right?

For ummm... Many reasons

I'd guess two player? Tried the demo and it's fun and I do like this kind of puzzle game but not for £40

An interesting way to make friends

Catherine O'Hara is joining the cast which is unexpected.

I know it's not quite the same but I tended to message friends and chat to people there if it was excursions or whatever. Compared to my family trip to Disneyland in November it was much much calmer and could do things on my own time. I went to the cinema once and I was the only one in there and it was one of those with sofas so I took off my shoes and curled up on one of those. Best cinema experience ever.

Because this is a company that makes a lot of money from furries.

Shake shake!

I guess like people who say "data" with a 'h' in there. You know what they're saying but you judge them all the same. Or at least I do. The weirdos.

I think it's just weird because I don't hear people saying FAQ as a word, but maybe I just associate myself with the right people.

Not that you filthy animals The general movie thread brought up the conversation of going to the cinema alone and then moved onto other things like holidays so thought it would make a good topic by itself. I often go to the cinema alone and quite enjoy using it as a place to relax and switch off unlike at home. I have a friend who may come but aligning availablity is what it is. Likewise I'll often go out to eat alone. Sometimes it's "I can't be bothered to cook" but I often travel alone so it's a necessity. I tend to just listen to a podcast while doing so. And when it comes to travelling, well let's just say a year ago today I arrived in Sydney for the first day of nearly 5 months of travelling alone. In fact, going anywhere with someone else now just doesn't work for me. Too much hassle. Travelling alone forces me to get out of my shell a bit more and try and chat to strangers. Sometimes in another language which is a challenge in itself.

This is also why I travel alone and to a lesser extent eat alone (I enjoy going out for dinner with a friend, but if I want dinner I'll just go do it if I can't find anyone). My chronic single nature and lack of friends (in the same country at least) may also be a contributing factor. It is nice to have the post movie chat I'll give you that.

This is wild to me given I went to the cinema by myself twice last week, yet alone the number of times I've gone in my life.

They've stolen the froggy chair too! https://www.polygon.com/gaming/24054816/palworld-froggy-chair-animal-crossing

I knew it was going to be weird going in but nothing can quite prepare you for how weird. Sometimes leans into the worst excesses of art house cinema too much, but it's certainly unique and Emma Stone puts in one hell of a performance. Had no idea it would be so explicit either. Second weekend in a row I've watched a film about grief and loss. Let's not get too Frasier about that. But again, it's got good performances and really punches you in the emotions.

I've heard it's good but also feels like it would be very stressful given the narrative and also full of meat so I've not bothered.

One game about pirates and one game made by pirates.

You're thinking of this

Apparently my role in this thread is to focus on the unimportant things but Oreo isn't even the original. It's a copy of something called Hydrax or something as equally unappealing.

Part of me hopes that if they were instructed to just plagiarise someone will blow the whistle about it.

Not to be that guy but the character of Mickie is still copyright protected. The short Steamboat Willie is in public domain and you can use that version of Mickie in relation to that public domain story. No gloves, normal size shoes (at least for a cartoon mouse) and the eyes are different. Plus I wouldn't be surprised if the hat has to be included. Just a warning if you were planning to make anything 😋 But if you want to see Disney characters with guns check out their World War II propaganda output. (And my phone wouldn't let me delete that Pokémon video, obviously it's a fan of Mewtwo). As for this game it looks like American teen edgelord nonsense. The kind of thing I imagine Elon Musk financing after being refused entry into the Pokémon café because he was drunk.
