Good news: Finally graduated from college, meaning that I have more room to do streams now.
Bad news: I also got COVID for the first time, meaning that I have less room to do streams now.
It is what it is.
Good news: finally finished some major pressing things related to my college work. Going to graduate from college later this month for sure now.
Videos/livestreams are back on the menu; likely going to do a Fusionfall Deathless stream later today.
Edit: Nvm, no stream tonight.
Why?
Cause I am feeling lazy. lmao
New Fusionfall stream is happening soon though.
New community post here.
Just to let yall know that I won't be making videos/streams in the next several days.
Finals are around the corner, and I need time away from content creation to get them complete.
Hope you all understand.
Forgot to mention this in a post for yesterday, but Garchomp got banned from Gen 9 UU via a suspect test. Mon had over 50% usage in the previous month, and seemed like a nice glue mon, but it seems that there are certain sets that have proven themselves to be problematic in the metagame.

Xerneas is now banned from Gen 9 NatDex Ubers via suspect test, becoming the 7th mon to be banned from NatDex Ubers.
There is a good reason why GameFreak never brought the Life Trio to Gen 9: they recognized that this mon combined with Terastallization can utterly break the game. This, combined with its immense set diversity, pushed it over the edge.
It is far from the most broken thing NatDex Ubers has ever seen, but it was an unhealthy presence in the metagame as long as Tera existed, thus it is voted to be banned.

Miraidon narrowly survives the suspect test, thus remains legal in Gen 9 Ubers.
I actually didn't know prior to this that Ubers had a higher percentage requirement in comparison to OU, but banning things to AG doesn't come up very often.

Unfortunately, the Retrobution servers are getting ddos'd right now, so unfortunately both the video series and stream series will be on hold until that ends.
Gouging Fire survives the suspect test, thus it remains in OU.
For those who have been following Smogon singles, they recently did a suspect test on Gouging Fire, as it was by far the mon people wanted it looked at the most from the Community Survey.
The bulky Breaking Swipe set was absolutely tearing up high latter/tournaments early on, thus it seemed very likely that it was going to get the boot. However, over time during the course of the suspect test, the playerbase has learned to adapt to the set and found sufficient counterplay to it.
As such, it should not come to much surprise that it has indeed survived the suspect test.
Only 42.34%.
Created a feature length film with the special PWT episode of the playthrough. There will be no new videos for the weekend, but Monday and Tuesday will feature the final two parts of the main playthrough. It is quite enchanting to see how far we come in this playthrough.
Major update: taking a break from recording VW2R for the next couple days. Instead, from Sunday to Tuesday, I will be uploading the rest of my Normal 1CC runs of Touhou to the channel, including my one Extra stage clear as of right now. I hope you are all looking forward to it.
