Happy weekend everybody. I finished a playthrough of XCOM 2 and now have started a new playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3, as "The Dark Urge". Hope everyone's summer has been going well

I've been on Pokemon showdown, playing VGC. Regulation H is such a breath of fresh air, they banned every single legendary and sub-legendary. The power level is a lot lower and less focused on absurdly powerful legendaries one-shotting everything.

It's a lot like Regulation A except this time with Rillaboom, Incineroar, and the ridiculous Ursulana forms. If anyone has been curious about competitive Pokemon, now is a great time to give it a shot.

I tried an Excadrill-Tyrantiar team but it just lost to Incineroar. Two physical attackers and only one clear amulet is unfortunate. I've been having a bit more success with a Baxcalibur snow team, with Bax being my main setup and offensive mon and basically everything else to assist it. Hisuian Ninetails sets up snow and aurora veil, H-Arcanine and Meowscarada get rid of problematic matchups like Gholdengo, and Indeedee runs follow me to help Bax setup. Also I have trick room on Indeedee but never use it for myself, only to undo opponents trick room. It's so satisfying to predict your opponent to setup trick room and take it down in the same turn.
