Here's the whole team for Brock. It's mostly garbagemons, since Ludwig von Squirtle can solo Brock without even trying. No point including anything on this team that I might want to use later. (Catching Weedle was a real pain, though.)

Time to go beat up Gary.

When I was 8, and I ran into this kid who said "Yo! You can't jam out if you're a Pokémon trainer!," I had no idea what that meant. I figured it was some slang I'd understand when I was older.

I'm 33 now and I still have no idea what it means.

Did you know that FireRed moved Nidoran to Route 3?

Because I didn't. Or at least I forgot after 20 years. I spent so long hunting for it on Route 22 before I finally realized something must be different. Catching a Nidoran♂ on Route 22 was always the first step on a Red playthrough as a kid.

At least Pikachu is still in Viridian Forest like I remember. After 15 minutes of searching, I was starting to wonder...

That could have gone better. 😬

The only thing that saved me was that Bulbasaur doesn't know any grass moves at Level 9.

But this is the only hard fight in this section. The rest is just grinding and searching for rare Pokémon for future teams. I'll need a Pikachu for Misty and a Nidoran for Lt. Surge.

Finally using my blog again, more random programming language ideas: Maybe Everything Is a Coroutine - https://adam.nels.onl/blog/maybe-everything-is-a-coroutine/

Every time I see the word "megacity" in a YouTube thumbnail, I pronounce it the way Megamind pronounces Metrocity.

@icedquinn Memory locality, mostly. If you store all of your hexes in a big 1D array in Gosper order then nearby hexes are usually nearby in the array.

But also just because it's cool.

@icedquinn For extra fun, try Gosper spiral coordinates--represent each hex with one number!

Also known as spiral honeycomb mosaic: https://gamedev.stackexchange.com/questions/71785/converting-between-spiral-honeycomb-mosaic-and-axial-hex-coordinates

(Someday I'll find the motivation to work on my hex-based Terraria clone engine again...)

@kaia Hey, I had one of those! It's a great device, i wish they still made PDAs like this.

If you want to take a look at the code, it's up on GitHub now. But this isn't the MVP, it's not ready to use yet. Maybe in a week? At least that's what I'm hoping.

The MVP should be a fully-functional local forum but won't support federation yet, that's the next step. Luckily Lemmy's federation approach is much simpler than Mastodon's.

I actually did it. I moved to Fosstodon! Looks like my followers got through mostly intact.
