Tera Raids are the worst.

  Last night, at 12am today, I FINALLY caught Walking Wake with my Lv. 100 Gardevoir after so much frustration and attempts. And I did it solo because I don’t have Nintendo Switch Online. I was lucky to have an NPC with an Arboliva who has the Seed Sower ability and not get burned from flamethrower. I used Clear Mind when I needed it and then spammed Thunderbolt. When I terastallized into Psychic, I used Psybeam but it barely did damage. I used Clear Mind again and kept using Thunderbolt until his shield was down and finished it with Thunderbolt. Before the fight, I used one more PP Up on Thunderbolt and maxed out Gardevoir's stats with Hyper Training. Yesterday, it was Pokémon Day and I was excited. When they announced the Walking Wake raid (which is exclusive to my version, Scarlet), I wanted to do it. So, I updated my game and visited the event den. When I started, I knew that things would go downhill. WW kept spamming Hydro Steam, which annoyed me. And then flamethrower. And No...

Pokémon Scarlet Quick Thoughts. [Spoilers]

Note: This is from my main Tumblr account, except for the spoiler section. Finally beat Pokémon Scarlet today after getting behind due to college and stuff. The story and final battle was amazing! So far, my favorite story in the mainline Pokémon games. Although there are issues such as lagging (which will later get patched out), I still enjoyed this game. The Elite 4 and champion wasn’t even that hard… I was expecting them to heal their Pokémon if their mon was low on health… but nope. But the final final battle which I won’t spoil gave me a challenge… my Gardevoir almost fainted! Now, I gotta hunt down the 4 legendaries in this game. Hopefully, when I get to battle them that my team doesn’t accidentally faint them due to being overleveled (my team is in the 80s). I think you could catch them early in the game, which I didn’t know you could.

#realvoiceactors matter. [AI rant]

So, I had stumbled across this article from Kotaku about AI generated voices copying real voice actors without their consent. And after reading it, it made me mad. I think last week, I had found a similar article. First we have NFTs from last year or 2021, now artificial intelligence is taking over this year. Do we really need robots to do the work for us? Heck no. It's not just AI generated voices; art too. And as an artist myself, it hurts. I remember saying to myself that what if someone pays for a commission, only to get scammed - they get AI art instead.  AI is hurting artist's career. Even voice actors. Maybe even musicians/composers, I don't know. It's time that we should support real voice actors and not use this robot bs cloning our voices and making the voice say not safe for work stuff. I'm almost about to be a part of the voice acting community and I'm scared that someone is gonna clone my voice (heck, maybe even do a deepfake) of me and make me say...
