BINGO!
It's amazing how Neil seems to be relevant across all of these years.

I remember running into his work way back in 2002 when Animutations were all the rage.

Then he made Ultimate Showdown

Then he made Potter Puppet Pals

Now he's tearing it up with his mashup work.

A genius.

Re: Flareon, two things:

1) How the gently caress do you even figure something like that out?

2) Why can ANY fire-types learn Solarbeam? It's a grass-type move, and it only really makes sense for grass-type Pokemon (maybe bugs too, I don't know) to be able to learn it.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves his life. I am the man who does not sacrifice his love or his values. I am the man who has deprived you of victims and thus has destroyed your world, and if you wish to know why you are peris

I looked it up on Bulbapedia and was instantly reminded that while the basic concept of Pokemon is fun, it gets really deep in the weeds with very specific rules and knowledge that you have no way of knowing without outside information. Like the contests in the game are just doing specific moves in the right order with no real indication as to what they're supposed be. Not to mention bullshit hidden stats like EVs.

Why wouldn't a fire-type be able to shoot out heat rays?

God, gently caress EVs and IVs. A friend of mine was 100% sure he would beat me in a Pokemon battle, and I played him with my crew & absolutely crushed him. Then he played me with his EV/IV-trained team and pretty much one-hit KOed my entire crew. To be honest, I would rather get curbstomped in battle than spend a whole shitload of time finding Pokemon with the right EVs/IVs and killing Rattatas all day or whatever the hell they do.

They can, with Flamethrower and Fire Blast. How many other heat rays do the fire-types need?

Plus, if Solarbeam counts as a "heat ray", then fire-types shouldn't need an extra turn to absorb the sun's power. :colbert:

His sister made an account, shared some art, posted in the selfie thread and was perfectly nice.

Goons swarmed on her, were extremely gross.

Neil defended her, called out Goons for being gross and they helldumped him.

He stayed in the fight for too long and Goons kept making it worse.

never to fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff. Fffffffffffffffff Sorry something is wrong with my keybofffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff


In my dealings with internet bullies I have learned one important thing and that is never to give up.
It really is a fight that I cannot lose. That is why I will continue to insult, attack, and someday rape you.
As my good friend Tay Zonday of Chocolate Rain fame once said: As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.


I was just an eleven year old boy when I killed that kid. We were at recess. He was insulting me (Helldumping me really) saying things like you'll never be famous, you'll never have your own page on Wikipedia.
I made a snap judgment that would stay with me for the rest of my life: I wrote my first song.
It was angry, beautiful, and over in a second. I composed a melody of screams as I pushed the bully over, and permanently connected his head to the pavement.


A baby born will die before the sin.


Years later I am still that eleven year old. And my playground bully didn't truly die. He lives on in all of you.
And you will keep pushing me and pushing me until I snap. And I will relive that terrible moment for all of eternity, writing a new song every time we go 'round.
And no matter how old I am or how many GEDs I get, I will always be homeschooled, always be paying for my song.


This is why you hate my art. You're the audienfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

From what I understand, she later said she stopped posting here because SA wasn't really her kind of place and she had other things to do, and while there were creepy goons, that wasn't the primary reason she left. Also the ongoing goon apologies and handwringing weirded her out more than what she experienced while she was actually here.

That's not to say that goons haven't driven people from the boards before, cause I'm sure we have, just, maybe stop worrying about Kate Beaton.

E: of course that's all like third or fourth hand info and if y'all know better, by all means speak up.
