Me and my friend Luke from Wavedash played a lot of Pokemon Nuzlocke runs in the green room on tour. A Nuzlocke run is essentially just a custom ruleset intended to make the pokemon game series harder. You can alter the code of your game file, using a ROM hack on your computer, and you can make it so every single encounter with a pokemon is completely randomized. So you might be just starting the run leaving littleroot town or whatever and you might see a Rayquaza or something as one of the first pokemon you encounter. Every pokemon is randomized so even like other trainer battles you have no idea what you’re up against. And there’s a bunch of house rules that you follow while playing so like whenever your pokemon faints in battle, you can’t use them anymore so they’re essentially dead for good hahaha. Super good way to pass the time.

The best part of the game was never the Pokémon themselves, but the schoolyard lies about the game that you & your friends would tell each other at recess. For example:
“Dude. If you manage to walk on every space in the game just once without repeating a step, you get deoxys at level 100 instantly.“
”you can get a shiny starter if you release your actual starter into the wild & complete battle frontier with completely involved Pokémon“
and then theyd show you their gamesharked cheat code pokemon & youd believe them & let your blaziken go.
I think my favorite is rayquaza. i Just remember thinking he was sick as hell.

I'm playing Pokémon ultra violet and it's amazing -- basically a hacked version of fire red so you can do a bunch of extra stuff (including catch mew)

Wow I think this one from Pokémon Red/Blue era will forever be engraved in my memory.
1. Talk to that boring guy in Veridian City
2. Immediately fly to Cinnabar Island and surf the cost, catch a Missingno Pokémon
3. ??????
4. Profit from wild duplication of whatever item is in your 7th position. Say hello to an unlimited supply of rare candy/master balls/whatever floats your boat.
Man I need to see if I can boot this up again next time I’m at my parents’ house.

My favorite manga I’ve ever read. Last summer I pulled an all-nighter and binged the entire thing in one go. Such a brutal read. Love exists in many forms and the way the manga explores this concept is so so stellar. Definitely a big inspo for me and a must read in my eyes. Whether you like shonen or not, it's undeniably great.

It used to be chopped cheese but I had one the other night and it made me feel ill for some reason. I’ve graduated to a spicy chicken cutlet on a roll with lettuce, tomato, chipotle mayo & banana peppers.

I was on Discord the other night on call with my friends and we were really bored so Luke shared his screen and we did this fanmade tournament bracket style Drake song ranking thing. It would pit two songs against each other and then you choose which one you think is better and whichever one you pick moves on to the next round and then eventually once you get through all of the first round match-ups, all of the songs you picked in the first round get paired up randomly and pit against each other in the second round and you pick again. And this goes on until there’s only 2 left and then I guess you’re supposed to be left with “the ultimate best Drake song”. Anyway, I realized how much I love Scorpion even though it got completely shit on when it came out. Definitely think it’s over-hated, but it rules. The song that ended up winning our bracket was “Headlines” which makes sense. I think his best album is still “Take Care,” “NWTS” being a close second. We’ve been playing a bunch of these bracket challenges for other stuff like movies, fast food, and other music stuff since then. It’s really addicting.
