Venger_06 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Maybe I can turn into a saint this time. I have to say, a female ruler with the big three is overrated 11 hours ago, Acacia Sgt said: Alternatively, unless you're in another Society and want to stay it, you can join a Monastic Order and take the Vow of Celibacy.

With me it's the opposite, I think history gets more and more dull as we get closer to the present day. 11 hours ago, GuardianSing said: See what you should really be doing is turn the country into a matriarchy.

Like, I reached 1453AD and she was still 15 years old. When I was also Absolute Cognatic Primogeniture, so no issues for succession. Still, it means my EU IV playthrough if off to a good start once she inherits. 8 minutes ago, Newtype06 said: I did this, but you have to rank up first before making a vow of celibacy and my wife got pregnant before I could.

Eltosian Kadath Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Time for a bit more of my Blue Kaizo Nuzlocke Spoiler And we open on the Cerulean Rival fight Somehow we are, although a bit of bad luck could end this run at any moment... And he opens with my favorite pokemon Dratini.... And I open with a Gen 1 miss with earthquake, against a beast that has Dragon Rage, and none of my team as above 80 HP. Yee gads, it wouldn't have killed anyway. The potion saved @joevar for now, but...this is a bit of a long shot but If @GuardianSing can put it too sleep before the AI stops playing with its food and realizes how much Dragon Rage evaporates my team Having Gurad.Sing crippled like that bodes ill But at least it got us past the Dratini... Oh boy. I need a switch here, and while I am tempted to go with Benice, I end up going with @Lightcosmo At least it wasted its free turn on Kinesis In retrospect paralyszing it before it could do the same to me might have been a mistake...sigh I am just going to have to risk the crit Huh, that was a bit lucky But now we have another of these Dragon Rage pokemon to deal with, and with what I have left, I think confuse ray is my best bet ...oof... I am sorry @Benice, but I get the funny feeling you will have some company shortly Time for longshot number 2, but if @Saint Rubenio can flinch it enough times ... At least he still out speeds, so as long as he has enough HP to take a Then at least we made it past the Dragonair, which brings back in the Kadabra There are certainly worse things TeeHee could do with the free switch turn Why...that let him Paralyze me in return, and with switching recovering the decreased speed from its own paralysis. Then it gets the 10% confusion chance from Psybeam just to add further insult to the injury Oh the humanity. At least he managed something before the end...RIP LightCosmo ...I don't think @Interdimensional Observer has the stats to really pull this off, but this is the best option I have left. Luck is with us though, and it gets fully paralyzed, and goes for Kinesis And we pull through with some Leech Life hits, getting all the way to his final pokemon...his starter... This might be the end Huh...HE LIVES.... ...so very close. Although even if I got off the toxic We just didn't have enough health left in us to stall it out with toxic. Alas @Sooks is the sole survivor of the wipe, seeing our doom from the safety of the box. Tee Hee is just too good for us...well kinda. For funsies I did another attempt of the fight as the team was and We managed to make it out with only Saint Rubenio having to make a noble sacrifice to toxic the Mew at the end for the win. The big differences were that Joevar didn't get the gen 1 miss, and managed to deal with Dratini on his own, then Benice took down the Kadabra with some Confuse Ray powers, and even risked his life to cripple the Dragonair with it as well, which let Saint Rubenio finish it off, with his ensuring the win with his noble sacrifice use of Toxic, with IntrDimObs stalling it out with leech life, some switches, and some luck. A sad end to the run, but not that surprising given the game, and a wild ride while it lasted...

So maybe I'd head to Spain and surprise them both (and also jumpscare @Saint Rubenio while I'm at it /s). You wouldn't dare. 6 hours ago, Sooks said: Oh my god Partitio’s 2nd chapter boss. Lmao.

I hope you do get to visit Canada at some point! I've never been to the East Coast, but there are some really cool things out west. I hear Whistler and Squamish (Each close to Vancouver) are super pretty if you decide to come out to Vancouver for the World Cup, and if you go out further, I am convinced that Canmore, Banff and the Spray Lakes are the best Canada has to offer in terms of places to visit. I do have a pretty narrow worldview, though... Hopefully I'll have been living in Vancouver for a few years by 2026, so maybe I can give you some good recommendations for places to visit.

Nothing wrong with that. I'm the same, I think we're all the same here, slight Japanophiles made so via their video games.🎮❤️🇯🇵😆 I feel like with Japan I'd be really dependent on tourist guides for where to visit. I mean every tourist should look up places to see, but being sooo foreign from a Western perspective, I'd be extra unsure of where to go. To say "Tokyo" is too vague, as would it be to say Kyoto/Osaka/Nagoya. in your case, they do have the Lucky Dragon (Daigo Fukuryu Maru) preserved. From what I read, it's a very small building, pretty plain. Nonetheless, it is the irradiated boat whose unfortunate fate contributed to the birth of 'zilla. I'd personally want to stop at the small shrine dedicated to Taira no Masakado's head in Tokyo. Shin Megami Tensei has made me well aware of Tokyo's guardian deity.😄 I'd really want to find a good Buddhist temple and Shinto shrine as well, and history museums. Although I wouldn't want to neglect the modern day either! Akihabara and walking through an old video game shop might be good for that. Outside of Tokyo, 2033 is the year of the next rebuilding of the Ise Grand Shrine, dedicated to Amaterasu, the reconstruction happens every 20 years and ought to be extra auspicious for a visit. Mt. Fuji... sacred, but I'm not one for hiking. The Civilization franchise has also made me aware of Himeji Castle and Kotoku-in (big Buddha statue) as two other wonderful sites. 6 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: London too big to see all of that in the few days i am staying here xD. For something modern, can you stroll through 30 St Mary Axe? (Aka "the Gherkin" b/c critics accused it of looking like a pickle.) They do have a restaurant on one of the highest floors, if it's open and you're hungry, you ought to have a nice view. 5 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: And Venice i really really wanna visit While it does look like they have a naval history museum, it seems like Venice hasn't quite preserved the Venetian Arsenal/made much of a tourist attraction out of it (Napoleon did ransack the city). The Venetian Arsenal was quite possibly Europe's largest, most concentrated, and professional industrial zone prior to the Industrial Revolution. Ships, ammo, weapons, were churned out at a blistering fast rate that left visitors in awe. Venice began its rise to prominence before the Arsenal was constructed, but its empire of trade -and a few Mediterranean conquests- couldn't have soared as high as it did without the Arsenal manufacturing the vessels of that boundless mercantile ambition. You'd want to row over to the islands of Murano within the Venetian Lagoon while you're there. Murano is where Venice's glassblowing industry was centered. Venice's glass of such high quality that it literally banned all glassmakers from ever leaving Murano, can't let one of them go tell European rivals how to make glass as magnificent (and Venice was right -if inhumane- b/c eventually some escapees did leak the trade secrets!). Venice still has a proud tradition of glassmaking that endures to this day, maybe they'd sell something small and touristy you could bring back with you. La Serenissima forever!😄 6 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Man, i think if you ever come to Berlin you might stay forever in the museum island. Too big! I do have my limits believe it or not.😆 I don't understand why, but eventually the human "aesthetic response" to taking in museums or monumental structures gets drained. And if that doesn't, my feet! Having been to museum mile in Washington DC a few times, I think my limit there is 3 museums or the like in a day. That's all my soles can take, and all my soul can intellectually appreciate in one day. 6 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: I also wanna visit some places in the new world, but that's kinds far off for now xD I don't truly know the cities b/c I only tourist them, but I have seen enough stuff in NYC, Philadelphia, and Washington DC to offer a few suggestions/advice. -When that time comes.

I don't think it's going to make any difference when the time comes.😆 Since you got me thinking about it earlier BTW, this is a map of Washington DC.: Count how the number of things you'd want to visit in this screenshot.😛 Directly west over a bridge is Arlington National Cemetery. And as you'd cross that bridge, you would notice in the middle of the Potomac River is the sizable Theodore Roosevelt Island, where TR gets his memorial, befitting his reputation as a conservationist president. And not too far south of DC is Mt. Vernon, George Washington's plantation-estate. While there, feel free to sit on his porch and partake of a lovely view of the Potomac. DC is dense with the tourist sites. Which kinda makes sense, it was a capital city created for the sake of being a political capital, so the government could reserve a lot of undeveloped land for itself and national grandiosity. Unlike most cities where humans gather and live their ordinary lives, and then politicians have to squeeze in the monuments and government buildings later. Enjoy London! -You're just putting me in the mood to ramble a little about my own capital.😅 3 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Meanwhile I have to hold back the urge to make the same really crude joke every time one of their bad habits annoys me I knew I should've thrown a "most" in that statement!😅 Always gotta include the exclusions.
