no lol. you made me worried i made something bad happen by posting here but it hasnt as far as i can tell. did something funny happen?
idk its kind of too weird since i know him really. not that i watch streams anyway generally...i watched a bit of aui_2000 and eternalenvy dota streams like idk six or seven years ago when they were playing in TI, but it got kinda boring eventually because they didnt really say much. i guess you cant really when playing high level dota cause it takes a lot of focus. it was fairly funny for a while though because they reminded me of a lot of the guys i was in classes with at college....aui_2000 especially, like chill seeming hoodie wearin guys who didnt act like they especially cared about grades and often didnt pay much attention in class, but then you would find out they were like secretly chess grandmasters or state tennis champ in hs and you would be like what?? him?? he looks half asleep in class lol...
maybe i will watch some later, like put it on the tv or something and do some cooking or cleaning idk. streams just arent enough stimulation for me or something...or i suppose maybe it irks me not to be able to click the buttons myself. also with regard to this particular stream the awful new pokemon games are just depressing lol. i already have to stop myself from ranting about how many things sucked bananas in sun/moon which are the last ones i played. actually until finding this guys channel i hadnt thought about pokemon for probably the longest stretch of time since i was like fucking 4. until i found it i didnt even know there were new games out & i was like damn they really did get so bad that i stopped thinking about pokemon. last thing i played was butterspeed nuzlocke in emerald...may do that again, its pretty fun to have on teh phone. last run i got a shiny butterfree & it survived the whole time, getting two or three absolute clutch compoundeyes sleep powders. only he & armaldo survived the champ.

shiny butterfree's survival was pretty lucky -- butterfree has compoundeyes, which reduces your miss chance, meaning that sleep powder's 75% accuracy is boosted to 87.5%. that's pretty good, but its not THAT certain, and butterfree is pretty fragile and is weak to a lot of types. there were at least 2 or 3 times where my only choice was to send in shiny butterfree and use sleep powder, against something that was definitely going to use rock slide and murder the hell out of me if sleep powder missed.
armaldo is weak to rock, because he's bug/rock, and rock doesn't resist rock, oddly. so rock type attacks were kind of my achilles heel. but on those 2 or 3 times where my only choice was to try for a sleep powder hit with shiny butterfree, it worked every time. thats not that unlikely - 87.5% chance three times is 0.875^3 which is ~0.67, so about a two-thirds chance of surviving all three attempts.
however, there was one time where sleep powder missed -- and i thought everything was over.
BUT ROCK SLIDE ALSO MISSED. rock slide only has 75% accuracy, so again, not thaaat crazy. but pretty crazy!
and of course, the chance of getting a shiny pokemon is only 1 in 8000. ive only found 3 in my life, and ive played a lot of pokemon. beedrill once in my original silver as a kid, flaafy once in heart gold when i was a teen (scared my mom shouting holy fuck in the car), and then this hero as a caterpie. (there may have been others i didnt notice -- some shinies are only subtly different colors, and if you have the sound off and don't see the special twinkle animation, its not that hard to miss one. but anyway...ive never shiny hunted or used any of the techniques they added later to increase shiny chance, and 3 in a lifetime of playing a reasonable amount of pokemon is about what youd expect. but that this caterpie would survive an entire nuzlocke despite being pretty fragile, and despite being used as a last resort those times? pretty crazy!)
