[up] Obviously, that's the point of the episode, but again the reason it works out for Ash is that the writers can write that he wins. The actual rules of battling don't matter.

It got to the point that the writers had to temporarily depower Pikachu somewhat to maintain some semblance of challenge for Ash. Which they did by having him run into an Olympus Mons who drained him of his electricity.

In any case, battles don't seem much fun when you can just immediately declare victory or loss without even doing the actual battle.
And in some games, this doesn't give you any Experience Points.

That seems fair. I can see situations where you'd want to skip battles that way if you don't really need the XP, especially when it is from a lower level area which would give minimal XP for your level anyway.

The Parasite

Ah yes, the ever reliable "webcomic writers don't have real jobs" gag.

Well, it can be a job, but whether it can be a job that reliably pays the bill is something else entirely. I think that is the real source of general surprise: that you can earn enough to make a living with what for many would be a hobby at best.

Better Half

Once again, the specter of Darth Maul, Villain Sue despite having no speaking lines in the main films, looms over the Star Wars universe.

[up][up] Excuse you, Maul gets to say, "Finally we will have our revenge," or some such in Episode 1.

That's an easy mistake to make when a game is complicated enough that it seems like every individual piece has a completely different ruleset.

What was playing music? I didn't notice anything, but maybe there was an ad doing something improper.

I think it was something to do with their streaming thing they were doing yesterday ,it's gone now though.

Nothing makes me jump more then music suddenly playing when I didn't ask it to

When afflicted with writer's block, make jokes about writer's block. Never fails.

Tycho is alarmingly on point here, although I hope most writers don't think of artists as content-creation AI.

jokes on them,AI generated art can't be patented in same way regular art is so AI art can't be commercialised in the same way!

There's also the issue of ownership and the AI plagiarising other artists works

Hey, I used to have my G. I. Joes kiss action figures from other IPs, too. Fight. I mean fight.

Mine didn't kiss, but one of them was the designated dude in distress... grin

I don't even know what character it is. Some green dude with red hair wearing only brown pants and wielding a club.

I didn't make my toys kiss, but I would pack up my sister's Barbie furniture in the Barbie convertible and camper and move house by driving them into another room.

... Man, I've been playing Unpacking before it was cool. In analogue, even. grin
