Ahh, console video games (or vidcons as I call them). the ultimate medium of expression, able to convey any emotion ranging from hatred to love, loyalty to fear, all in front of our eyes. Ah, and with lovingly crafted art, music, and the ability to control the action, vidcons are the ultimate combination of the high arts. While I tend to play the stoic, I will be the first to admit that vidcons haven driven me to cry, to scream and shout, to feel actual hate; such is the power of this force beyond our wildest reckoning. And here I am, before you, to temp your tongues with the taint of such a tantalizing topic.

And the Japanese, the true geniuses behind the world of video games. Pah, I throw my scorn upon such incompetents of the West who would mock the true art of the Japanese with 'games' such as Baldur's Gate and Madden. Perhaps it is that the West is not as intelligent as the East, but this is a matter for another day. Japan has given us such masterpieces as the Final Fantasy series, Star Ocean, Wild Arms, and of course, Arc the Lad. Yes, some of the finest vidcons in the world were created by Japanese. I come to you today to ask you in all earnesty, what is your favorite vidcon? I will reveal mine after the grand debate has illustriously begun, but not before the first poster falls victim to my plot of discussion.

In other words, this is a thread on an imaginary forum our avatars frequent. The topic can fluctuate, and its mostly just general discussion.

To be honest, I don't mind Pokemon evolving at higher levels than usual. It makes the experience training them more worth it in the end.

By the way, I'm feeling a lot better now from yesterday. I'm now cosplaying as Lillie for a fresh change. How is everyone's morning going?

[up] Actually, yeah, I did train a Rufflet in my first savefile of Pokémon White version and evolved it to Braviary, but that happened after I done most of the game story. It's actually recommended to use Lucky Egg for them if they're up front facing a suitable Pokémon for training (such as Audino), though sometimes it's also risky to have an underleveled Pokémon in the front that you can consider using the Exp. Share instead so it can get experience without having to enter the battle itself, allowing you to use another Pokémon for the battle instead.

I'm actually wondering are there even any people playing any of the 3DS Pokémon games at this point (especially considering that the online stores service have ended), though. I think somebody asked me for tips for Pokémon Ultra Sun version. They seem to be intimidated by how hard are the "boss battles" in that game.

Personally the only boss battle in that game that is challenging is the Ultra Necrozma battle. If you put a Poison-type Pokemon into the last slot of your team, and use Zoroark as your first Pokemon to fight Necrozma though, Necrozma will keep using Photon Geyser thinking that you're using a Poison-type Pokemon. So that challenge becomes incredibly easy.

Man, I do wish we could actually get Mega Evolutions for Alolan Pokemon. They just kind of abandoned the mechanic after Gen 6.

Huh, makes me wonder. "It's just a single Pokémon, you can just use Toxic, or Curse with a ghost-type!"

Now that I think of it, another "cheese" is that if you can actually get a Pokemon that has a Focus Sash or the ability Sturdy and it has Endeavor, it would reduce Ultra Necrozma to just 1 HP. Oddly enough, Ultra Necrzoma didn't have any priority moves. Guess what that means.

1 Alright, let’s go with…

{(3, 5), (2, 8), (2, 10), (4, 11)}

{(6, 5), (9, 14), (4, 17), (8, 18)}

Will that suffice?

Interesting choices! I expect something weird to happen - our lecturer didn’t show off such a constellation - but I will send back a 3x3 matrix once I‘m done.

Keep in mind that this is projective geometry, so if you want to find the location of a new point (a1, a2), you‘ll need to expand it to (a1, a2, 1) before multiplying it with matrix M, then scale it so that the a3 coordinate is 1 (if possible, otherwise if a3 turns out to be 0, you have a point at infinity).

Update: I found it, and it‘s a rational monstrosity.

(1997/594 829/891 -13973/891)
(8683/1188 3409/1782 -57521/1782)
(467/1188 227/1782 -3517/1782)

What‘s so special about this matrix is that any three points in the real projective plane that are on one line will still be on one line when they‘re multiplied with this matrix, and the first four points get moved to the second four points that you‘ve given.

I had to check my calculations multiple times with Wolfram Alpha while finding the matrix, and I seriously don‘t expect this sort of exercise to be on my course exam

Hey there! Anyway, I was really busy with trying to work on this take-home final exam for one of my courses. Very exhausted, but after that Mina and I had a nice dinner of mutton, fried rice and potatoes. What have you guys been up to this afternoon?

Marnie and I are also probably gonna watch a movie to relax after a long day.
