stuff like Heartgold back in the old days would often get mercy-killed
(although I don't think that ever happened to Werster)
 
10:17 PM
A publishing company sent me a review copy of an Obama/Biden mystery novel. Haven’t gotten a chance to read it yet, but the acknowledgements are very good

Q: Can I have a Kantonian and Alolan form of the same pokemon in a team?

Banana DanFor example's sake, I have a Kanto Ninetales for special sweeping with a Sunny Day/Flamethrower combo and an Alolan Ninetales for laying down Aurora Veil with Snow Warning to set up for a buff sweeper. I know most competitions have a rule against having multiple pokemon of the same species in a...

 
@Exeggutor @Yuuki just won a simple tournament against a Boo player with 18k points

@GodEmperorDune I feel like I need to read this

So a 6.5lb picnic shoulder ham is...a lot of ham
 
user15026
It is a good thing I like ham

(I bought it knowing I would have lots of it left, I am just amused at how much it turned out to be)
 
@Ash i'm not much of a mystery novel fan but i am interested as well
@Ash does it cook down to like half that?
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune yeah, same - I don't generally read mysteries as a thing but I will make an exception
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune more than half, I'd say I got at least 4 lbonce I took the bone out and fat/skin off
 
user15026
Enough to keep me in sandwiches for a while
 
user15026
(if I was enterprising I'd make pork rinds out of the skin but that involves deep fat frying the skin and I am terrified of that)
 
10:34 PM
@Ash pretty much a dense meat stack IRL then
 
user15026
@GodEmperorDune yeaaaaah, pretty much
 
First non-demo tourney win, and against someone with 18k points too #MarioTennis #MarioTennisAces #NintendoSwitch https://t.co/pbPzYEduMJ

Also Boo is really popular in simple mode apparently:
I can understand why. He would definitely be better in simple mode where an opponent misreading a curve is much harder to recover from.
 
@Wipqozn waluigi OP
 
I completely forgot about that magikarp game
@Unionhawk was honestly expecting bad things with all the 'last day before retirement' talk
Okay I should shower, then play some mario tennis before the 9pm race
 
This thread is great
Texting with my youngest sister is always a wild ride.

Cc @ash @Wipqozn @Yuuki for the puns therein
 
10:51 PM
@Wipqozn I've gotten to the finals a bunch but haven't won one yet :(
 
@Exeggutor I won four times in the demo, but I was having a heck of time even hitting the semi finals in the full release
I'm doing better in simple mode
I've got an 81% win rate in simple mode. Only around 60 in standard I think
 
11:14 PM
@Wipqozn I see the words "invite friends" on screen but can't figure out how to do it
 
@Exeggutor look for my room in free play maybe?
@Exeggutor yeah look for my room in the free plsy lobby
@Exeggutor actually I need to run to the store real quick before the mm6 race. We can try tomorrow?
 
11:31 PM
@wip sounds good, went afk to help kids anyway
 
11:48 PM
@Exeggutor yeah figured
 
Man this game is so frustrating. I just barely lost to a bowser in the finals and if you dive for one shot against him it's point over.
 
Bowser is definitely a strong character
Bowser Jr is much easier to deal in simple mode too
because he has actual weaknesses
aka lob shots can give him a problem
He's really slow, but has excellent reach. Normally that would mean he'd have trouble with lob shots if he's against the net, or a shot on the far side of the court, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut trick shot to victory in standard
IF they just made trick shot always cost energy instead of gaining you energy it would probably balance standard mode out really quickly
Also make it better. Because I was having fun with it, but them trick shots just ruin it once you come across folks who abuse it
It reminds me of mario kart 7
the best strategy was snaking
but snaking just wasn't fun, and not at all what I want to do in a mario kart game
in Mario tennis I want to play tennis, not spam trick shots all day
