Imho the problem with the 3D-era pokemon games isn't that they look low-fi, it's that they look low-fi in a boring way. Like they were built from asset-store content from 15 years ago.
If ever there was a game that could've gotten away with some weird theme like voxel-art or heavy use of billboarded sprites, it's pokemon. Like, imagine a pokemon game with pixelated hand-animated textures like in Megaman Legends. That would work.
The end of an era. Now I'm nostalgic over their awful '90s games like Shogo. Was also such a shame that AvsP2 never got re-released because it was permanently trapped in rights hell.
No, it's complaining about how some games are so swingy that even with skill-based matchmaking the game always seems to be a landslide in one direction or the other.
Overwatch is the worst for this.
Game one: We absolutely steamroll and as tank I do more than both DPS players put together. Yay.
Game two: We get our asses kicked and some Ana who doesn't know to switch or group up when they're getting dived spends the whole endgame screaming how awful our tank is.
Whoever decided it was okay to hold electronics together with glue instead of screws needs to go The Hague.
refused to give them a reason to vote for them
If stopping fascism isn't enough of a reason for you to vote Dems, that's a you problem and not a them problem.
Fuel? I'm honestly surprised two-wheelers in India haven't been completely been overtaken by electrics, at least outside of the modern traffic infrastructure of Mumbai. I've only been there a few times but so much of what I saw (mostly in Thiruvananthapuram) was urban design where the high speed and power of a motorbike wouldn't be very useful (at least as a solo rider not carrying a heavy load like a passenger or anything) - slow, cramped, chaotic traffic on dusty zig-zagging roads.
It's not as funny when stripped from the context that the comic was drawn 5 years ago.
for everybody reading this who haven't tried them already:
The meds help a lot. Stop overthinking it and just get the meds.
Well, the dryer has been disassembled and vacuumed, the dead coil removed, the new coil swapped in, ready to reassemble as soon as the new belt arrives. I was surprised how much of the brown shmutz in the heater was just ash from the coils - it dusted off quite shiny after I replaced the coil.

After
I'm a little worried about the visibly duller part of the heater assembly, hopefully that won't absorb too much heat - I tried to cluster the coils a bit looser there to compensate.
It's even visible on the reverse side.
Either way, I'm reassembling tomorrow when the new belt arrives.
I feel like I have a moral responsibility to attempt to repair anything before making it waste. So I'm trying my hand at the dryer. Sadly I didnt' realize that the whole tub joint pops upwards so I detached the tub from the join and then found the join comes off pretty easy anyways.
Anyhow, everything is made of garbage these days:
But I think I can replace that. But while I'm in there: any recommendations on how to lubricate the tub joint? Anything else I should be replacing while I've got it apart? I noticed the tape sealing up the exhauste has disintegrated so I figure I should replace that with a strip of aluminum duct tape.
Yup. The game is pretty overrated, imho, but its aesthetic was amazing. No lighting system, everything was hand-shaded with textures that really got the Megaman look. One of a kind style.
