when nick comes back from vault 95 initially mira cant really process that hes not dead and not a robot so it takes her a little bit to acclimate and start talking again. but once shes good they are inseparable. its like shes a newborn again and he cant do anything without carrying her around. gen3/courser strength is actually for being able to baby the little girl you raised even tho shes like 8.

Text

did you know that generation four of the pokemon games features more ribbons than any other generation? in diamond/pearl/platinum alone, you can get 38 new ribbons - and in hgss, you can add one more to that pile for a whopping 39 ribbons. this is a truly crazy amount of ribbons and i feel like i went a little crazy while gathering them. but, with that being said, i sure did gather them.

this post is all about reides the kingdra's journey through sinnoh, johto, AND kanto!

as a quick aside, you can check out my other ribbon master posts in my ribbon master tag. you can also see the posts on my personal site; those versions have a bit more pictures since they're not Contained by tumblr's limitations.

anyway...!!! my gen4 journey with reides began in my childhood copy of diamond. my trainer - named 'juke' after a handle that i had back in those days - picked up reides at the pal park, along with fangs the salamence, albatross the latios, origin the metagross, persana the suicune, and princess the zigzagoon.

i was really thrilled to finally be using one of my childhood playthroughs; back in gen3, i opted against using my childhood file in sapphire, as i wanted reides' original trainer to be recorded as 'Jamie' - and my sapphire file didn't use that name, either! another bonus to this was that diamond was already in the postgame, so i could get to work on grabbing my sinnoh ribbons as soon as reides made the trip over there.

immediately, i got to work on getting the first of the daily ribbons. these ribbons are very simple to get. all you have to do is talk to a woman named julia - who lives in a little house in northern sunyshore - on each day of the week. each day corresponds to one type of daily ribbon. the first ribbon that reides got was the smile ribbon!

julia is a really sweet character, and i really enjoyed my little routine of popping in and chatting with her. i was able to nab each of these heart-warming ribbons while i tackled other ribbon tasks.

the daily ribbons weren't my only routine, either! i also visited the masseuse over in veilstone ever day so that she could boost reides' affection for my new character. (i understand why affection resets when you trade your pokemon over to a new file, as they're technically a whole new trainer... but it still made me feel a little sad... like, reides. it's me!! it's JAMIE!!! the person who worked SO HARD to get you all those ribbons in gen3!!!)

once reides' affection was maxed out, i went over to... dr. footstep. dr. footstep is a guy who lives on the route outside of pastoria city. his whole deal is that he can read your pokemon's feelings for you by looking at their tracks - even if they don't have tracks. (reides, for example, doesn't have tracks. so, yeah. dr. footstep is... talented?)

an important note about this ribbon is that it actually isn't affection-based from gen5 onwards. instead, it's based on how many LEVELS you gain with the pokemon - becoming attainable when you've raised it at least 30 levels from when you met it. this is obviously deeply horrifying, as it means you can totally miss your chance for this ribbon if you trade a pokemon in that was past level 70 (due to the level 100 cap). an exception to this is if a pokemon is 'voiceless' (e.g. if the pokemon is a magnemite, or a beldum, or one of the regis, etc etc) in which case it... somehow reverts back to being based on friendship.

you'd think that the footprint ribbon would be based on *steps* rather than levels, as not only does that make more sense, but it also prevents poor pokemon from being locked out of it forever... but whatever. it's kind of hilarious that the mark of reides' affection for me is summed up by a ribbon which is essentially A Foot but that's a whole other can of worms.

during all of this, i was also grinding out pokedollars so that i could afford the syndicate ribbons. the ribbon syndicate is located over in a very posh mansion in the resort area of sinnoh. i met the 10-ribbon requirement for entry into the syndicate easily, but i then had to take on the challenge of raising enough pokedollars so that i could afford the hilariously expensive trio of ribbons that they had for sale. i had enough pokedollars to afford the first two - the gorgeous ribbon (10k) and the royal ribbon (100k). the last ribbon, however, was priced at 999,999 pokedollars... namely, the most money your character can carry on them. getting my hands on this ribbon would require some work...

...but admittedly not that much work! by using the vs seeker on an elderly couple on the route right next to the pokemon mansion, you can actually grind pokedollars out super, super easily. they pretty much funded the final syndicate ribbon for me and it really wasn't a painful grind in the slightest. if only real life worked like this...

these side ribbons were honestly a lot of fun to gather as the days went on! they made me wish that we had more stuff like them in future generations, to be honest! i know some people think that they're kind of just 'filler ribbons' which aren't all that meaningful, but i had a great time getting them all. my little talks with julia and my puzzlement over dr. footstep's lore(?) were certainly meaningful to me, and it was pretty awesome to cap out on pokedollars for the final syndicate ribbon! i think ribbons like this offer a unique little break from ribbons that are focused on streaks in battle towers or the standard hall of fame entries, as iconic as those may be.

anyway, on the subject of hall of fame entries... reides obviously had to go grab the sinnoh champion ribbon! i decided to take on the sinnon league with the whole gen3 squad, including princess the zigzagoon.

reides just so happened to be looking RIGHT DOWN into the spotlight in both of these pictures that i took. that wasn't even planned... i guess he just really liked the pretty lights.

with the sinnoh league tackled, the super contests were up next. i was really excited to gather these ribbons, as gen3 made me a HUGEEEE contest fan. with that being said, i knew that sinnoh's contests were a whole lot different from hoenn's contests. despite gathering a TON of accessories for these contests as a kid (THANK YOU, JAMIE OF THE PAST!), i was woefully clueless as to how to win them. i had to do a bunch of research, as the good ol' rest + snore combo wasn't going to carry me through the appeals like it did back in gen3... and i'm very pleased to say that i was able to find a great strategy for winning these things!

the best strategy that i found was provided by Guy_Gin_Smash over on the pokemon ribbon subreddit. it can be found as a reply to this post! i'm attaching a copy of it here just in case that thread is ever made inaccessible in the future, but please go give it an upvote if you use it and it's of help to you, too!

Regardless of the Pokemon, here is my advice for what worked best for me and my Ribbon Masters: ・Move 1: A move that increases in appeal when used first (Thunder Punch, Dragon Claw, Flash Cannon, etc.). This is your "comeback" move when you do poorly in an appeal round. ・Move 2: A move that increases in appeal when performed last (Revenge, Gyro Ball, Assurance, etc.). This is your "Hit while the iron's hot," move. Use this when you do really well in a previous appeal and need a finisher. ・Move 3: Psych Up/Bulk Up/Swords Dance/Dragon Dance/etc. It doubles your next move's score and helps set you up to use Move 1 first in the turn order next turn. Use this when you end up second or third in the turn order. ・Move 4: Protect. It increases in power depending on how low the judge's voltage is, and even on Master Rank there's normally at least one judge with no voltage available to pick. Use this when you get stuck in the second or third turn order -- preferably with a Psych Up boost.

following this template, reides' gen4 contest moveset consisted of hydro pump (part of his learnset), natural gift (bought at the veilstone department store), dragon dance (part of his learnset), and protect (bought at the veilstone department store).

of course, the appeal portion was only one third of the contest itself. i also had to take part in the visual round each time. i wasn't too worried about this, as reides' gen3 sheen transferred over to gen4... which meant that i didn't have to make him a single poffin. like i said before, i also loved gathering the contest accessories as a kid, so i didn't need to grind out any of those either. still, i was sure to skim over this page on serebii, which told me which accessories would score the most points based on the theme provided at the start of the contest. the other part of each super contest was the dancing portion, which was basically just a little rhythm game that didn't really bother me once i got into the swing of things.

i enjoyed these contests a lot, but i do feel like a lot of content was crammed into them. the visual stage in particular is a fantastic addition to the contest format, as i really loved putting accessories on reides, but the time limit that they place on dressing up your pokemon made it unnecessarily stressful at times. with that being said, here are a few costumes that reides wore to various contests.

he's a true model imo.

they were a little bit time consuming, but reides was able to get through these contests pretty painlessly. i didn't lose a single one of them, though i absolutely soft-reset my game every time johanna (the player character's mother) showed up as a fellow competitor. i saw a lot of people say that she posed a huge challenge and i was NOT gonna take my chances. sorry, mom! lmfao.

at this point, reides had a sizeable bulk of the gen4 ribbons... and it was time to face the inevitable. my most dreaded portion of my ribbon master journey: the gen4 battle tower ribbons.

like i said in my gen3 post, this ribbon master challenge is my first foray into the battle tower mechanic in these games. even with my limited experience, i've heard plenty of stories about gen4's battle tower ribbons. all of the tales of streaks breaking due to the ai suddenly 'cheating' had me really nervous - especially since they really ramped up the difficulty in gathering these ribbons for gen4. gen3 had 2 battle tower-related ribbons. gen4, on the other hand, has 6. SIX. i knew i would be here for a while, even if i got lucky and my streaks never broke.

this guy pretty much summed up my thoughts on the matter.

still, i had faith in my team - my beloved companions who made the gen3 battle tower ribbons a lot easier than i thought they'd be. i held my head up high and carried on!!

before entering the tower proper, i knew that i had to change up my team's movesets. gen4 introduced the physical/special split, which meant that the typing of moves no longer dictated if the move was physical or special. for example, BEFORE this split, every single ghost type move was a physical attack move. AFTER the split (i.e. in gen4 and onwards), each move itself was assigned as a physical or special attack regardless of the move's typing. going back to my ghost type example... this meant that you could find ghost-type moves that were special attack moves, too.

my physical attacker, origin the metagross, had to get rid of their shadow ball attack asap, as it became a special attack. i replaced it with zen headbutt but planned on replacing *that* with iron head once i had enough bp for it. i also replaced metal claw with bullet punch. this left them with this moveset:

origin the adamant metagross - earthquake - bullet punch - zen headbutt --> iron head - explosion

as for albatross, i had the opposite problem: his dragon claw was now a physical move. since he is a special attacker, this didn't fit with his stats - so i replaced it with dragon pulse. his final moveset for the battle tower was therefore this:

albatross the timid latios - psychic - dragon pulse - thunderbolt - ice beam

i also refined reides' moveset, getting rid of the moves that i used for the super contests and giving him a set that was more suitable for battle.

reides the bold kingdra - surf - ice beam - dragon pulse - hydro pump

again, as a reminder, i went with a bold nature on my ribbon master kingdra because it suits his personality more! but on the topic of bold legends... i took some time to refine my suicune's moveset, too!

persana the bold suicune - surf - calm mind - rest - sleep talk

i opted to try out a bit of a bulky set for my suicune, since i heard really good things about it!

with my pokemon's moves all sorted out, i walked through the battle tower's doors. first up on the list was the singles tower. i got two ribbons by battling my way through it; one for each time i faced the iconic tower tycoon, palmer. i got the first ribbon - the ability ribbon - after facing him on battle 21, then the other - the great ability ribbon - for facing him on battle 49.

after defeating palmer twice in the singles tower (and being scared half to DEATH while facing his cresselia on battle 49), it was time to take on the doubles tower. i had to win 50 battles in a row there. i'm pleased to say that the metagross + latios combo was still the stuff of legends - though reides and persana also came in clutch MULTIPLE times!

eventually, we got the double ability ribbon, even if we had to face a whole lot of daunting foes during our climb. every time i saw an ice type, i braced myself for a sheer cold inexplicably gaining crazy-good accuracy... and every time i saw a bulky staller, i braced myself for the long wait for those hp bars to go down. sobs.

the third battle tower ribbon that i took on was... a bit of an odd one. you get the multi ability ribbon once you win 50 battles in a row while using an npc as your partner. this meant that my little latios + metagross strategy would no longer be viable, as i would have to rely on another trainer's pokemon to get to 50 wins. i had riley as an option when i took this challenge on, so i decided to pair up with him for the whole tower. he ended up making for an INCREDIBLE partner! in particular, his absol was a huge help. the climb wasn't without its scary moments, but we clutched it out and got through it.

shockingly enough, my streak somehow didn't break at all during my multi ability ribbon climb! given all the horror stories that i heard about this ribbon in particular, i was SUPER relieved. i'm not sure if i got really lucky or if riley is just really, really good - but, either way... thank you riley!!!

once he got the multi ability ribbon, reides' gen4 battle tower conquest came to a sudden halt, though. you see, the remaining two ribbons - the pair ability ribbon and the world ability ribbon - went beyond the scope of my lone file of diamond. the world ability ribbon focused on a wifi-based challenge (which i'll get into later). the pair ability ribbon was similar to the multi ability ribbon, except i would have to get a streak of 50 wins alongside another gen4 file. i couldn't fight along with another npc; it had to be someone i connected with through co-op play. for my purposes, this meant dual-wielding dses. but there was a bit of a catch, here, as - despite owning every other gen4 game, including TWO copies of soulsilver - i didn't have another gen4 game in the post-game like my diamond file. that meant that none of my other gen4 games had access to the battle tower.

upon realizing this, i decided to take the opportunity to replay soulsilver. as i mentioned in my last post, hgss are my favourite pokemon games of all time. you might think that it's odd that i didn't have a fully decorated post-game, in that case - but i have an explanation for that! you see, i loved hgss so much as a kid that i repeatedly transferred out all of my pokemon so that i could replay the plot of the games as much as i pleased. kind of hilarious, i know... anyway, since i also needed to get a ribbon for beating red in hgss' post-game, reides was destined to be part of yet another storyline team.

after planning out my soulsilver storyline team and deciding that i wanted to raise a steelix, i decided to send reides over with a metal coat so that i could evolve an onix early on. pro gamer strats, i know. i picked up a cute little totodile (who i named tapioca!) as my starter and sent reides over to johto as soon as i unlocked trading!

admittedly, i was utterly thrilled to see reides in soulsilver. i didn't care that this would add a HEFTY amount of hours to my ribbon master challenge - not in the slightest!!! being able to explore my favourite region with a pokemon that means so very much to me was a dream come true - especially since hgss has such a flawless implementation of follower pokemon.

i really enjoyed my playthrough and amassed a team that ended up meaning so very much to me. while i kept reides in my party, i obviously didn't use him all that much in battles, as i wanted his younger pals to get experience and catch up with him.

costume the eevee was named after a kid i saw on halloween, who was in a really cute eevee costume! i picked up my eevee that night after the trick-or-treaters left, and my friend cody suggested that i name the eevee after that kid's costume. (fyi, costume ended up evolving into an espeon!)

here are some more pictures of my soulsilver team and me during the course of our amazing journey through johto.

prior to beating the elite four and unlocking the battle tower, i decided to take a little peek at it and instead ran into this guy, who was really, really eager to take on the challenges.

given the sheer amount of grinding that i had been through, along with the amount of grinding that i knew was in my future... i can't say that i shared his enthusiasm. but i respected him for it nonetheless.

eventually, our johto quest led us to the pokemon league. sadly, there is no ribbon linked to beating johto's league and entering its hall of fame, but it was nice to take on everyone regardless.

after a really dramatic showdown against lance in his AMAZING room full of golden dratini statues, we entered johto's hall of fame.

after hours upon hours of time spent in johto, i could finally approach the battle tower again - this time with the goal of getting the pair ability ribbon on reides. grabbing my 3ds, i set up a local wifi room on my copy of diamond (apparently, using a copy of diamond or pearl as the 'leader' means you get to face easier trainers when compared to a platinum or hgss leader) and connected into it on my copy of soulsilver. origin and reides reunited with albatross and persana, and we got ready to get our streak of 50 wins.

the battle tower link multi challenge was actually probably the easiest one i've ever done on the course of reides' journey thus far, though that may have been due to the sheer amount of FOCUS i had on it, LMAO. i really didn't want my streak to break, so i took absolutely zero risks... except for when i had to. and boy, did i have to at one particular point of this climb. on battle 49(!!!), most of my team was knocked out, save for reides. i took a picture, as i wanted to show just how the odds were stacked against my boy. but then... he did something amazing.

reides outsped and took down zapdos with surf (which also dealt damage to registeel), then traded a bunch of attacks with registeel - only to clutch out a win with the luckiest hydro pump i have ever witnessed. he kept the streak alive!! (for context, surf's damage wouldn't have been enough to take down the registeel at that point. if reides' hydro pump missed, registeel would have knocked him out, too.)

soon afterwards, we ended up winning the 50th battle in a MUCH less scary manner - and reides got the pair ability ribbon!

this left me with one last outstanding gen4 battle tower ribbon... the world ability ribbon.

the world ability ribbon is technically unattainable now, as it requires the use of nintendo's now-defunct wifi servers. basically, to get it, you connect to nintendo's servers and download a room consisting of 7 battles. by battling through a bunch of these rooms, you can rank up. once you get to rank 5, your team gets the world ability ribbon. due to the servers' being inaccessible though 'official' means, it's not required for a ribbon master challenge. but people have made fan servers that you can connect to in order to try for the ribbon anyway. the one major drawback to connecting to these servers is that the ds can only connect to wifi hotspots that use either the now-outdated wep security protocol or no security at all. as a result, a lot of people don't really have the means to connect to them... and i was one of these people!

now you might be wondering: why bother with this ribbon if it's not necessary for completing the challenge? the answer is pretty simple. beyond it being a matter of pride, in future generations, all of your pokemon's contest and battle tower ribbons from gen4 and gen3 get consolidated into two memory ribbons. these ribbons are depicted on a silver plaque if you're missing any ribbons and a gold plaque if you managed to get them all. ...so, you're seeing where i'm going with this, right?

people really, really want the gold plaque.

L;FDGKDFL;GK but real talk - pokemon home recently let pokemon with 7 battle ribbons get the gold plaque anyway, so it's just something that people encourage attempting if you have the means. since i didn't have a readily available wifi hotspot that was compatible with the fan servers, i was very much on the fence about taking it on. i decided to procrastinate on making a decision and, instead, wandered out of the battle tower and towards a whole new region: kanto!

the only new ribbon in hgss is the ribbon you get for beating red - and you can only challenge him once you're done with kanto's gym challenge. while journeying kanto and battling these leaders, i also took a bit of a breather in order to complete one of my favourite little sidequests in the pokemon games.

if you collect five of these shiny leaves and put them on your pokemon, your childhood friend back in new bark town will craft them into a beautiful golden crown for your pokemon. unfortunately, no ribbon is attached to completing this sidequest, but it's an absolutely incredible one that also grants you this gorgeous certificate.

empowered by his shiny new crown, reides and i kept up with our kantonian journey - facing each and every gym leader. there's something so special and bittersweet about kanto's status during the johto games. everything is so familiar... but also so different. it was particulary sad to face blaine off in one of the seafoam caverns, as cinnabar had been overrun by a volcanic eruption. but the hope that blaine had for the future of his gym was inspiring, too. it really gave kanto a lot of depth; a sense of its people still having to face challenges, even after your journey as protagonist had ended back in red, blue and yellow.

eventually, we met up with the final gym leader: blue, himself!

upon beating him in battle and getting my 16th gym badge in soulsilver, i gained access to mt silver. i knew that red, the ultimate pokemon trainer, was at the very peak of this lonely mountain teeming with high-levelled pokemon.

i journeyed to the peak as soon as i could. i had every intention of spending a lot of time training in mt silver and even gathered lucky eggs to make the task easier - but, in the end, i couldn't resist challenging red the very moment that i found him.

i'm very, very pleased to say that red still lives up to his status as a legend. his team makes for a very, VERY difficult fight; it's incredibly satisfying to face them all. time and time again, it always lives up to the hype. after duking it out, i managed to emerge victorious... albeit by the skin of my teeth. for being part of the team that won this battle, reides got the legend ribbon.

i was sure to take a picture with the rest of my team during our trek through mt silver, too! without them, this whole journey wouldn't have been possible, after all. we also took a photo together in pallet town, right outside of red's house. since my personal pokemon journey began in kanto with pokemon red version, it was quite the emotional shot. i was really happy to have such a great team with me!

this marked the end of my soulsilver storyline playthrough, but i wasn't quite done with gen4 just yet. i was finally at the world ability ribbon crossroads. feeling emotional over my progress up to this point, i decided that i would try to take it on, as i wanted reides to get that gold plaque from gen6 onwards and i didn't want to bypass an optional ribbon unless i absolutely HAD to do so. this meant that it was time to research just how the hell i would connect to those fan servers.

eventually, i found a thread on the ribbon master subreddit talking about an incredibly simple method of connecting to them. they said that you could use a flashcart or homebrewed 3ds to inject your save into your pc. from that point on, you just needed to run your save on the melonds emulator and use its wifi feature to connect to the dns featured on the poke classic network. (it's also worth noting that you need a rom that's been patched for online play - you can use the wfc patcher to do this). i decided to give this a try, as, before this point, i had no idea that emulators even supported wifi without a billion complicated workarounds. even if it didn't work out, it was super interesting to me.

...and, hilariously enough, it worked out on my very first try! i seriously felt like the 'technology is incredible!' guy who lives in every single starting town of every single pokemon game. i found myself suddenly having the means of getting this elusive ribbon despite gen4's servers being defunct. how incredible is that?! i couldn't be more grateful to the people maintaining those fan servers.

the setup was the first part of my world ability ribbon challenge, though. as awesome as it is to be able to connect to the wifi rooms, those rooms are also NOTORIOUS for being filled with hacked pokemon. popular ones include machamps with the no guard ability (which means that its moves never miss) running sheer cold (a move that can ohko your pokemon; they typically have a very rare chance of hitting) and spiritombs with wonder guard (an ability that makes it so only super effective moves can damage the pokemon with it; spiritombs in gen4 have no weakness).

there are ways to counter these hacked pokemon, however. you can outspeed machamp before it can land sheer cold (or run a focus sash on your pokemon, which will make it survive a sheer cold with 1hp), and you can also decimate spiritombs with wonder guard if you use fire fang against it (fire fang SOMEHOW bypasses wonder guard in gen4; a little happy mistake of a glitch, haha).

in an incredible moment of serendipity, i also found a counter-meta team for these hacked pokemon which included latios AND metagross! i was thrilled, since i already had albatross and origin all trained up. while i had to steal a shuca berry from a wild ponyta trotting about on mt silver, that was easily done. i started training up a garchomp, too... but then i got lazy while ev training him and ended up trying out the rooms with reides instead of a fire fang user. (i'm well aware that this was a really big risk LMAO - if i ran into a single hacked spiritomb, i'd have to take an immediate L and raise that garchomp before facing the room again.)

in selecting the rooms that i wanted to challenge, i opted to download those in the late 20s to 30s range, as those rooms are said to have less hacked pokemon within them. i wasn't sure if that was just a rumor, but i tried it out anyway.

in the end, i had a blast. i really liked seeing everyone's nicknamed pokemon in the rooms that i downloaded. i'm not sure if it's because of the 'late 20s to 30s range' strat or what, but i ran into ONE single hacked pokemon, who i will now proceed to shame:

YEAH. I BET YOU'RE SORRY.

luckily, 'i'm sorry' the machamp wasn't a threat and he didn't get a single sheer cold off on my team. he did, however, land a will o wisp on origin, which had me wondering if he was even running sheer cold to begin with? either way, we beat him up real good!!!

i don't want give that machamp the only shoutout re: this ribbon, though! i also want to show off some of the pokemon that i ran into while working towards rank 5. i believe these pokemon are also taking on the ribbon master challenge.

this is only a small selection of the pokemon that i saw, but i still really loved to meet them all. it made me a bit emotional, too, as i thought about future ribbon masters running into reides the kingdra. :') i can also vouch 100% for the anti-hack team that i posted; if you're struggling with getting this ribbon, definitely give that team a try!!

after grinding through these rooms, my team eventually hit rank 5. reides got the world ability ribbon... the 6th and final gen4 battle tower ribbon, which was also the final ribbon of his gen4 journey.

as you can tell from this absolutely massive post, gen4 was a journey and a half. my god. i'm well aware that most of my time spent in this generation was likely during my soulsilver playthrough, as i wanted to raise a proper team and take my time with the experience, but oh my goodness gracious. i should've known it would've been a monumental task, given the sheer amount of ribbons available... but it still took me by surprise. no regrets, tho. none at all.

i sent reides (and the rest of the pals accompanying him on this ribbon master quest!) to unova, which doesn't have any ribbons. this quick stop-over was still necessary in order to put everyone in pokemon bank, though! once they were there, i sent them over to kalos. at the moment, reides is chillin' and getting ready to take on the generation 6 portion of this quest. in particular, i'm excited to take him to omega ruby, as i got him in emerald version and he's a hoenn baby!

so, yeah! that's how reides' journey though sinnoh and johto played out! i'm super excited to keep on going with this ribbon master journey. just like i said last time, i hope that you'll keep on cheering him on, too!!!

Aaaaaand Overthinking Nick again!

"I am sick, doctor?"

"No, just crazy."

Even if he tries to convince himself that he is a man, it is stronger than him; he can only view himself as a synth. And, perceiving himself as a synth, he can't just get the picture of his nasty "cousins" with their evident metallic bodies out of his mind. And, unable to wipe the vision of the bodies of the evil "cousins" from his mind, he truly fails to understand what Nora sees in him.

It's simply not doable.

It is simply unattainable.

Incomprehensible.

It's like conceptualizing that a cat develops a special affinity with a toaster.

The most perfect animal in any point among all the creation with a machine that has barely evolved over time.

Something all in grace, suppleness, softness and magnificence linking with an object whose usefulness was hardly proved, and all the more useless for this something all in grace, suppleness, softness and magnificence.

A cat and a toaster.

A beautiful young feline and an old rusty kitchen tool.

And deficient.

Because he has so many disabilities.

The first, and most visible; his skin. What should serve as his skin. This strange alloy of plastic and rubber, indefinable, full of sensors, which vulgarly tries to imitate the kind of men. This comedy of semi-flexible material but far from being enough flexible that should hide from the view of others the ingrate structure of his person. The ingrate structure of his being...

The ingrate structure of his conception?

A synth. He is a synth. Something halfway between a robot and a man. But closer to the robot than to the man. Because he doesn’t have the grace to be one of those fancy gen3. So, probably very close to Codsworth.

He shudders at this thought.

“I don’t even want to know,” Nora comments as she hears his kind of disbelieving sigh. “But not hearing you at all for at least twenty minutes worries me.”

“I was thinking.”

“Well, you’re used to thinking out loud. Since I’m not trying to sleep, have you finally found the function to do it in your head?”

“Or my processor, or my motherboard...”

“I shouldn’t have even mentioned.”

“But it’s what you mentioned that makes me think.”

“As if you need encouragement... You think about what?”

He opens his mouth to answer but picks himself up in time. After a moment of floating, he answers what comes in his mind a little more acceptable.

“To Codsworth.”

“Oh my God!”

Nora raises her arms in exasperation.

“Can’t you let go of my poor butler? I don’t know why you’re so hard on him. He never did anything to you, and I think he’s pretty good for a robot. He managed to develop his own personality matrix on his own, which is pretty impressive.”

“Is it, now?”

Nick is holding back from this. At the very least, Nora thinks he’s thinking about how to roast her robot. Or maybe just denigrate him in his head. Somehow, anything better than the truth.

Better than him comparing himself to this robot.

Which involves two branches of thoughts that make him shudder.

First, and horribly, if Nora is attracted to him, she might as well be attracted to the robot. And that would explain everything.

The woman’s brain is fried.

Her spirit is completely down west, and she just doesn’t make sense with the reality.

As it is acceptable to conceive this way her mind could function, it’s also brought the fact that his best friend and only human to have bring something almost human in his sense is just a very malfunctioning human.

And again, it could explain a lot.

But in the other branch of thoughts, it’s also brought back the fact that he is barely more than a robot. And then, how can he think, feel, fear...?

Is Codsworth also think, feel, fear?

Yeah, the obvious answer, proved truth, is yeah.

Codsworth think, Codsworth feel, Codsworth fear. He has proved this often.

Then how Nick can be something more than Codsworth? More than just a robot? Is him more than a robot? Is him...

“I really don’t get why you are so relentless on this poor guy.”

“Because it’s funny. And nothing personal about the poor guy. More about all the General Atomic proudest conception.”

"Don't you think, as you like to pounder and turn and return anything from scratch to finish product and possibilities, that you relentless is just a way to try to dissociate yourself from the fact you may have lot in common with them?"

He can't help but gasp and lose a step. Nora stops in turn and stare at him carefully.

"Sorry, no, it's improperly express."

"Sunken hit."

His partner raises her hand and strokes his, a sorrowful expression on her face.

"Oh shit, Nick. Pardon me. I did not mean to... I was just trying to humor you.”

He shrugs and walk away but she doesn’t let go just like that. She follows him.

“Nick, please!”

“What to add? You are awfully right. Like, you can’t even be more on the mark even if you try again until the dawn of time.”

“But it was NOT what I wanted to mean. Not that way.”

She seems so sad; he slightly smiles at her.

“Don’t mind none, it’s okay, Doll. I have long ago accepted that I AM more of a robot than a man.”

“Is it true? Because first, you are wrong. And more importantly, you are wrong.”

“Then how can you just bring that so easily if it’s wrong?”

“Because it’s so wrong I never doubt for a second you could be so off the track. How can you only try to conceive you as a robot?”

He extends his bad appendices—so battered and worn out that his metal skeleton is apparent—in front of him. Between them. And with this gesture, he speaks loud without opening his mouth.

Nora quickly grasps the instrument as if it were a hand rather than a disgusting device, her fingers caressing it, her gaze focused on his.

"No, dare not go there. I refuse. You must stop thinking this way."

"What other way can I go? Codsworth and I were both manufactured at a factory. Codsworth is made of metal, circuits, and plastic, and I am also formed of these materials. Codsworth was programmed, as was I."

“You were not programmed! Not just programmed! You are so, so much than just this. I can’t accept you to feel that way.”

She may sound upset, he more and more feels annoyed, angry. Downright angry. He gives a dry shake of his hand to encourage her to let go, but she holds on. He raises a so annoyed glance at her, but she glares back with fear and sadness.

And it’s broke his heart.

His core...

His whatever that didn’t understand he is just a conception and try to trick him to think otherwise.

To feel otherwise.

And she raises one hand and caress his cheek.

And he leans on it.

And he realizes at that moment that he is just unable to win the argument.

Monster High Headcanons but they are specific to the Gen3 universe

Purrsephone and Meowlody are the other two members of Toralei’s band, they are also Toralei’s cousins now, since there’s apparently a plot-point about Toralei and Clawdeen’s families having some kind of feud, and like, Toralei doesn’t have any named family members yet, so (update: called it)

Clawdeen is a trans girl who decided to make her name a monster pun, because tell me Gen3 Clawdeen wouldn’t do that and also I needed an explanation as to how she didn’t realize she was a werewolf while being named Clawdeen Wolf

Nefera got her heart removed and painted gold after Cleo removed her heart in a bizarre attempt to one-up her

Lagoona is bi and has a crush on Ghoulia Draculaura but doesn’t know yet

Spectra unlives with her ghoulma because her parents haven’t died yet, she mentions this like once casually and never again

My solution to the Heath’s dad situation rn is that a bunch of underworld ruler entities found baby Heath in a dumpster or something and had to raise him together in a bizarre sitcom situation

Speaking of Heath, him and River are besties who went to the Minions: Rise of Gru premier together

Finn and Toralei are music rivals, Toralei’s like “you’re only a good musician because of your siren scareiage” and Finn’s like “bitch you’re literally racist”

Manny’s one of those “when I grow up, I’m gonna found a big software company, aND IM GONNA RUIN YOU” kids (update: nevermind)

#via #via rambles #monster high #monster high gen 3 #toralei stripe #meowlody and purrsephone #clawdeen wolf #nefera de nile #cleo de nile #lagoona blue #ghoulia yelps #spectra vondergeist #heath burns #river styxx #finnegan wake #manny taur

Legacy Update

This is a bit of a jump in time from my last post, since I was unable to take screenshots during one of my playthroughs.

So any, Ludwig (Gen2 heir) married Townie Amy.

Ludwig is a couple days from aging into an elder. He had a successful career reaching the top of education. His dad reached the level of Education minister, so I got that fantastic bookcase that allowed him to skill up super fast + his stay at home mom was constantly on the phone making family friends. Now he's in the medical field, hoping to achieve his lifetime want. Why he didn't join the medical field from the beginning, I don't know.

Ludwig has a little brother, Kody. I was watching Sister Wives at the time of naming him 💀 He's in love with the hot maid but can't marry her because he's destined for a life of celibacy, staying at home and working for the greater good of the family.

Now that the family has more funds (partially due to 2! visits from the genie), I've started construction on the new house. This is the progress on the bottom floor. Yes, there is a party/music room. Also, one legacy rule I always break is the lot size. This one is slightly smaller. Oh well.

The Gen3 heir is now a teen. I named him Thomas. I can't for the life of me remember what I was watching when I named him. His aspiration bar is abysmal as I'm starting to crumble under the pressure of raising this family. Gen1 mom made this Servo when she was still living. Since she was a perpetually bored stay at home mom, I had her earn a gold robotics badge.

Little sister Cami. Again, I have no idea what i was watching when I named her.

Littlest sister, Reesa! Being crushed under the boobs of her VolGal mom. I do remember what I was watching. "Who TF Did I Marry" on TikTok. I'm on part 15 rn and highly invested.

Reesa is a toddler.

raises hand hi i would LOVE to hear some rain world headcanons rn!!!

sorry i really dont feel like writing a bunch rn and if yo uwant anything specific it'd be better to ask for that because i'm really bad without specific prompts. otherwise im linking a bunch of my other stuff under the cut. im skimming my own posts because icr most of them oops.

here's some [simplified] iterator gens

pre-gens [556.003-559.002]: testing parts and puppets. some puppets were made just to see if they fit, others were made decorative for the sake of it. pre-gen puppets were sought after way after the pre-gen era. most pre-gen parts were thrown out, including puppets, after pre-gen era. the pre-gen puppets that were salvaged were either used for showcase, or used in iterator models [pre-gen puppets were most common around g0, and then g3-5. it's like a bragging right if you're a g8 or g9 with a pre-gen puppet because nearly all of them were used in earlier models or put on display]

gen0/prototypes [559.012-573.023]: basic prototypes. most of them collapsed early and didn't have any cities

gen1/early post-prototypes [573.035-597.837]: they're more functional than gen0s and didn't collapse as often but some still collapsed before mass ascension. most had cities built on them during g3-4

gen2/late post-prototypes [597.983-640.385]: much more functional and more stable than the previous generations. some late g2s had cities built on them initially during their construction.

gen3 [650.395-784.264]: generalized because everything's functional now. most models are the same with little variation, but there's definently still variation in certain models. mid gen3 is when the great equalizer happened; that iterators breathed out as much vapour as they inhaled, so they could be placed almost freely - and all iterators [save for outliers] beyond gen3 had cities built on them.

gen4 [784.408-815.423]: getting slightly more experimental. some are more focused on the cities atop them while others are more focused on simulations and processing or memory conflux capacity.

gen5 [815.753-974.904]: more experimental still; some collapsed due to being unsustainable or using much more water than anticipated due to unforeseen overheating. those that weren't too experimental were designated other tasks that weren't just the great problem, such as hospitals, bioengineering, etc. beyond gen5 a lot of iterators were designated other tasks too!

gen6 [975.314-1214.485]: full out experimental. lead to a few collapses but most were maintained and fixed after being built. a lot of the experimental builts in gen6 were specialized for certain tasks unrelated to the great problem, while still having it in their priority list.

gen7 [1216.424-1342.239]: the experimental models were expanded on and evolved further. basic/'default' iterator configurations were starting to come back and be more common.

gen 8 [1342.237-1460.387]: stuff is generally starting to plateau and there's not really any new ways to further iterator technology. models are however starting to be more specialized in things outside the great problem, some were given the task on archiving as much old data as possible around this time. this was seen in some way earlier models too, though!

gen9 [1460.389-1562.308]: stuff has definently hit a plateau. there's little to no new discoveries during this time period, and everyone's just making the current models more efficient, and then the mass ascension hits.

broadcast headcanons < probably the most random out of everything

some stuff on seven red suns

some real fucky saint headcanon lore stuff [what the fuck is this thing]

iterators. the cycle. got offtopic i dont know what this is i skimmed it and idk though i dont think the cycle lines up to my current interpretation? idk

ascension and echoes - probably a bit outdated now im not sure

winged ancients [and a bit of an oc ramble] trhough i think this is a little outdated now im not sure

moon and febbles

ancient masks and their designs based on standing in society

some more ancient stuff

more ancient stuff - religion

ancient stuff - what the fuck is on with your dates???? [outdated now i think. like very``???? im not sure]

ancients - wars and conflict and whatever else

ancients and the rain world fauna

ancient society hierarchy and stuff

#[asks]#siffrin-enthusiast #im not maintagging this one i dont wanan.#im gonna expand on iterator gens later

any past lives headcanons (specifically king arthur related)???

hmm that's a good question i've seen a lot of wyatt = arthur and chris = merlin and i like it tbh but while admittedly i have not watched merlin i do love the idea of idiot x idiot romance where both are gifted in one field and severely lacking in the other so i would love to do a wyatt romance where wyatt is arthur in a past life and merlin's reincarnation is his boyfriend. bonus if the boyfriend was a wizard and was raised in that "merlin was an overrated hack" ("We're Off to See the Wizard." Charmed, created by Constance M. Burge, season 4, episode 19, Spelling Television, 2002) culture only to find out he Was merlin and just go oh lmao. which in this case i would make chris lancelot and bianca morgana and then add a zesty little backstory there. i don't think i'd have a guinevere. wait wait wait. Wait. arthur and morgana are related. yes? Chris is morgana. Wyatt is arthur. TBDLI (to be determined love interest) is merlin. Bianca is. is there a judas figure in arthurian legend?? i guess i'll make her lancelot and then establish the lore that she was wyatt's right man under the evil regime, which made her betrayal hurt that much more. oooh.

beyond that. i think i have undisclosed inklings of past lives for the davis squad (not so much effie considering she's already So Old.) kat defo has some past lives that are going to be explored. henry i kinda wanna give a past life where he's a pirate just to do a pirate episode. i kind of want peyton to be a reincarnation of brianna their super powerful telekinetic great great great great great aunt. i think i wanna give one of the cupitches (prolly pj or peyton) a high priestess past life where some old demons have beef with her soul and try to get her ass. tamora i would love to see as a great warrior in a past life something epic but only after she kind of starts to shed her shy skin you know?

RELATIONSHIPS IN PAST LIVES:

were once besties: pj x parker x peyton, bianca x wyatt, WILDCARD henry x effie

were once lovers: chris x bianca, kat x viola, melinda x [REDACTED], melinda x [REDACTED] (two!!), wyatt x [TBD]

once betrayed one another: wyatt x chris, wyatt x bianca, kat x viola, henry x [REDACTED]

um bonus i'd say that either dency or penn is melinda warren reincarnated dove Also has a specific reincarnation but that's top secret, warren and sheridan have definitely existed in the family before but i wouldn't say as any pre-established members but i would probably give them some type of narrative in the past just for funsies hey maybe they knew leo, keyboards has been a witch before, jenny has been a witch before, monica has been a witch before, luz has been a witch before, who else exists.... patricia, penelope, & phillipa of the prandy!lives au i would actually say probably have more incarnations in andy's family than the warren line,,,, just 4 zest. w shane & abel paige's source kids i feel like one of them has to have whathisface. the warlock. ummm. matthew. matthew tate. bc taste. idk who else would be there. who else do i have. bennie. the paige richard kid. probably comes from the montana line bc i feel like they've got some fucked up folx there. in another world (sorry leo) i would love to see a gen3 kid end up being a reincarnation of piper and falling in love w a reincarnation of mark.

Fixing Pokemon Legends: Arceus' Combat

So far I have been enjoying PL:A, its a solid 6/10; but the combat is very lumpy dumpy for no disernable reason and as somebody whose been playing the series since I was 10 back when DPP came out I wanted to come up with some fixes to make battling more fun. I brought up the combat in a previous post, but it bears repeating on what needs to be fixed.

Bring back abilities: I will never understand why PL:A got rid of a cornerstone of Pokemon's gameplay. Ever since Gen3 abilities have been a neat way of making your pokemon feel more like individuals. You could catch two Shinx and they'd be more unique compared to the other because of their differing abilities. Gen5 also introduced hidden abilities which were harder to get but were often way better than the standard abilities. Why not keep those? It would naturally encourage players to catch multiple Pokemon, and the game could even keep hidden abilities by having Space-Time Disortion Pokemon or Alphas have a small chance of having their hidden ability. The only reason I can fathom Game Freak nixing abilities was due to their being no PvP but that is a flimsy excuse at best if that is the case.

Keep old move/status effects: A lot of the moves and status effects have been changed, and again I don't know why. Moves that previously hit multiple enemies don't anymore, moves that lowered or buffed a certain stat are much more vague, and the status effects of sleep and frozen are now just palette swaps of paralysis and poison. This makes combat a matter of elemental rock-paper-scissors where you occassionally make your attacks hit harder and slower or softer and faster; and if multiple enemies gang up on you, you just have to take a beating until your turn comes and that can be really unfair. If they kept the way attacks used to work in older games there'd be no issue, have Bulk Up raise attack and defene instead of 'offensive and defensive' stats, have Bulldoze hit multiple enemies, and have Hyponsis actually put the opponent to sleep.

Let Pokemon hold berries: Your Pokemon also can't hold berries, there aren't normal held items in this game but there are berries and it makes no sense that your Pokemon can't hold them. It'd give you a leg up if your Pokemon had the chance to heal themselves with a berry, especially when wild Pokemon can just use a strong style move and wipe out half of you HP. Yeah berries are mostly used as lures in this game, but that's no excuse. If I have a bajillion Sitrus berries its because I want to give them to my Pokemon so they can heal themselves during a battle. If I wanna lure a Pokemon over to me I'l use a cake lure.

Actually have friendliness do something: Aside from making certain Pokemon evolve, friendship does fuck all in this game. Friendship has gone from "oh some Pokemon evolve and two moves do more damage" to "Your pokemon will survive 1 Hit Kills, dodge moves, and shake off status effects because they love you and want to return all the TLC you've given them." and for PL:A to get rid of that feels very wrong for a game about building the very first bonds with Pokemon historically. Yes this one is minor, but I remember a time where Game Freak played along with the idea that these hunks of polygons and code were real living breathing creatures; and if they didn't bring back Pokemon Camp they could at least keep the updated friendship mechanics. Maybe even have it so you can take a Pokemon out of its pokeball to walk with you through the vast open enviroments and have that increase friendship faster. The game lets you have them out of their pokeballs but they just sort of sit there, you can't even pet them! Why have an NPC who checks friendship when friendship doesn't even bloody do anything that it didn't already do in Gen2 like 20 years ago? Return and Frustration aren't even in this game! PL:A is doing less than Gen2 and I don't know why!!. They should have kept the current friendship mechanics, lile everything else they should have kept but didn't for reasons unknown.

But yeah those are my thoughts, PL:A isn't terrible but it also isn't great and 90% of that is due to the crippled combat system. If Game Freak has more Legends games I hope they fix the combat to make it fun, because in the probably paraphrased words of Reggie Fils-amie: If its not fun, why play it?

Tamagotchi Ps plans plus rambling

I've kinda rambled about my plans for the Ps here & there, I felt like explaining better here since I keep bringing it up

As some may have noticed I'm trying to raise every available tamagotchi from the base device(as in no pierce DLC characters) that doesn't need to connect to another device. From checking the wiki page there's 22 characters with only 18 of the characters available for me.

I have a note to help me keep track of who I got already(after mistakenly getting a double first time was due to messing up, second was an accident/forgetting) & if you count the character I'm raising now after marrying off Gen24/Knighttchi then I have 6 characters left.

I'm working on Kuchipatchi, Monakatchi & Mametchi for the boys(currently trying to get Kuchipatchi) while I have Yumeitchi, Himespetchi & Kiraitchi for the girls. I'm not sure when I started this(possibly gen3) but I tried going up the list of characters backwards(tried getting Amiamitchi before Yukinkotchi cause of this) but then some things got mixed up. Eventually I made a list that had them in order of who has more care misses & depending on how things went in order of appearance with the ones I liked more going last cause save the ones you like for last.(I know Monakatchi has care misses & Kuchipatchi doesn't but we're drawing near the end & I like Monakatchi's appearance more)

Once I finish up raising everyone(I'm able to) I'll just mess with Kabodeviltchi/Pumpkin Deviltchi for a while & then raise Sonictchi for a while before deciding on if I want to shut the Ps off or not.

I think the main reason I wanted to raise everyone instead of sticking to ones I liked is cause the device gives you a reason to. Each tama has puzzle pieces that unlock places & you need to raise each tama at least once. Also feels slightly like an achievement like the care badges for the Uni which is probably why I trudged though that despite the Uni making me feel burnt out though I feel fine when it comes to the Ps for some reason.

I'm not sure where I was going cause I forgot while looking stuff up to explain that Tamagotchi take 4-5 days to raise.(going off my pictures saying when my tamagotchi got the 4th puzzle piece that were used for the family tree) Despite this I might take a day more sometimes to marry them off, part of it is cause I want to make posts/technical blog diaries of what they're doing. It sometimes takes a while cause I get held up on doing stuff so it takes a while to make posts before marrying them off cause I want to make a post about them being married off too. I took out the note cause in the end I rambled enough about what I'm doing.

Point is I got a few more weeks left cause of raise the final 6(maybe longer if I take too long to post shit) & then I'm not sure what I'm doing past Pumpkin Deviltchi & Sonictchi.

Aside from caring for Pumpkin Deviltchi & Sonictchi I have no other plans once I raised everyone I'm able to. I might keep playing after I've raised Sonictchi for a while but there's a likelihood I'll just take the batteries out & take a break(well besides raising my Pix until I've had enough) before turning my On back on & try to get all the genes for the MixingMeet's tamadex.(They tried to make marrying off fun by having a little pokedex on the site that keeps track of what genes you got from the available NPCs you can find on the app)

It feels a little weird realizing that everything is coming to an end soon. I mean given the amount of tamagotchi I have left it's not really ending soon but at the same time progress wise I'm nearing the end. It just kinda feels weird realizing despite how much time I have left it's almost over once I finish off these 6 & do whatever I want.

I think it's also cause I don't know what I'm doing after this. A part of me wants a break but another part of me wants to keep going cause the Ps & the On are fun even if I just have them on in the corner part of the time. I guess I'm just going to rest for a while & then think about bringing stuff back if I feel like it.

CORSAIR MP700 PRO PCIe 5.0 SSD Power Revolutionizes Storage!

A global pioneer in enthusiast parts for PC builders, artists, and gamers, today announced the release of its fastest PCIe Gen5 M.2 SSD to date, the MP700 PRO. With three distinct cooling solutions and sizes up to 4TB, the MP700 PRO redefines the performance bar for next-generation storage. Its sequential read and write speeds are 12,400MB/sec and 11,800MB/sec, 75% faster than PCIe 4.0 SSDs.

The MP700 PRO outperforms the top PCIe Gen 4 SSDs with 1.5 million sequential and 1.6 million random I/O operations per second. This update will continue for years because the MP700 PRO is backward compatible with PCIe 4.0 motherboards. You’ll get the most out of the newest games thanks to native support for Microsoft Direct Storage, and launching apps and transferring files in Windows have never felt faster.

The MP700 PRO has excellent all-around compatibility and fits simply into desktop motherboards using the industry-standard M.2 2280 form-factor. The MP700 PRO needs additional cooling to operate at its best. This is usually accomplished by utilizing the inbuilt M.2 cooling offered by the user’s motherboard. The MP700 PRO comes with a chic, fully-assembled air cooler that is ideal for people who need more sophisticated cooling. It keeps the drive cool as it operates.

On the other hand, the MP700 PRO Hydro X Series variant comes with a pre-assembled water block that simply fits into your unique cooling loop, providing the best possible performance and cooling while almost completely removing throughput throttling. This water block is constructed to the stringent standards you would expect from CORSAIR custom cooling gear, and it is compatible with 1/4′′ industry standard fittings.

Similar to other CORSAIR SSDs, the MP700 PRO may be easily updated with firmware straight from your desktop and is compatible with convenience features like safe erase with the use of the free CORSAIR SSD Toolbox program. The MP700 fully utilizes PCIe Gen5 technology to raise the bar for M.2 performance, and it comes with a five-year guarantee for added assurance that your storage will continue to be fast and dependable.

Capacity affects both endurance and performance.

Reduced efficiency in PCIe Gen3 and Gen4 configurations.

Pricing, Availability, and Warranty

The CORSAIR company’s global network of approved dealers and distributors are the places where you can get the 1TB and 2TB CORSAIR MP700 PRO PCIe Gen5 x4 NVMe M.2 SSDs right now. Later this winter, the 4TB MP700 PRO will be available for purchase.

In addition to a five-year guarantee, the MP700 PRO is supported by the global network of CORSAIR technical support and customer care.
