@salameleon@snouts.online I vote spoiler log SMZ3. As in, read the spoiler log in advance and use that to route the seed.

It's interesting to rewatch this video from 2004 today and compare its predictions with reality: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Bt3TmUW90B8

(There's also an updated version from 2005 that took things further with local search.)

@mawr And yes, quite a few VCs do try to use this whole game as their own personal tax shelter or money laundering vehicle on top of that.

@mawr Reminder that interest payments on debt are also tax deductible. Those same business classes I had in college gave entire lectures about how to structure debt in a company to get the highest return, and the numbers were typically in the range of 50-75%.

One of the key formulas: Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder's Equity. Guess which parts typically gets jacked way up at the start of early VC funding.

@mawr Though maybe the better education was spending a couple months playing EVE, reading up on how players exploit its economy and learned to hide their assets, then realizing the real world works that way too.

@mawr The real eye opener to me, during a few business classes in college, was learning just how much of the world is owned by Tata or Unilever, and just how easy it is for them to file for a new corporation anywhere.

After that, it became pretty easy to realize we're all just line items in one or more corrupt billionaire's spreadsheets.

@salameleon@snouts.online I'm not sure, but the artist appears to be Fortuna, so possibly their social media account.

@chr It won't do animations or rigging, but at least there's a not-terrible sculpt modeler now (Sculptura).

Quick doodle to put it through its paces:

I like this aesthetic so very, very much: http://d.facdn.net/art/fortuna/1559384536/1559384536.fortuna_mini_derg.png

@Kat@snouts.online *cackle*

I hope they're suitably armed for what happens next.

@mawr Can confirm IME. Sorry you had to go through that, glad you're otherwise okay!

Cosplay Pikachu can't be transferred forward from ORAS unfortunately. So I made it the head of my party and started hatching eggs for transfer.

And then I ran into a trainer battle I'd forgotten, in which I beat a full opposing party with my level 20 frilly Pikachu to finish hatching those eggs.

So let's see what I was using this for at the time, and...
...
... huh.

It's been 5ever since I've booted Poke Bank. Let's see how hard it is to transfer my Pokemon.

Somehow, I guess I'm still in the initial free trial period?

It me.
