Jan selling beard products with his 3 moustache hair on each side is amazing

[@organizerbmo]

Apparently minodoxil/rogaine also helps for beards! I have a slightly less patchy beard (bought it for head hair thinning) and it definitely made some facial hair more thick. Apparently that's how they found out it worked on hair - it was a blood pressure medicine then women started growing beards.

[@gottkomplexe]

This commend safed my live

[@JanizMakudomaru]

​@@organizerbmohow does that actually work on thinning hair?

[@mennorooker3939]

@@JanizMakudomaru Applying Minoxidil on the scalp daily restores thinning hair follicles by supplying them with more blood. I've only ever used Minoxidil to fill in bald spots in my beard, but balding friends of mine have used it with great results. Some things to look out for are (relatively) minor side effects like lower blood pressure and headaches. Also keep in mind that the substance is meant to strengthen WEAKENED hair follicles, not completely restore them. If you are bald, you will not get your hair back. It is only useful on places where your hair is THINNING and as soon as you stop using Minoxidil your hair follicles will start regressing again.

Strangely find it funny when Jan mentions the phys special split as an advantage for Houndour. Like, both of their stabs were special before generation 4 which was okay for houndour/houndoom because of their high special attack.

I agree. I know Pokémon is a children’s franchise but the games giving up any pretense of difficulty makes them hard to enjoy

[@Bossfightmedia]

@@joelkilchoer4238 It really only is a children franchise because GameFreak chooses to be. The Potential is there to make it grow up a little. But the Kids pay too well, so why bother.

[@peanutbutter6720]

⁠@@Bossfightmediaexcept the basis of the franchise is childhood bug catching. It was, is, and always will be a children’s franchise. Just because those kids grow up and don’t stop playing kids games doesn’t mean they aren’t exactly that, kids games. Not to say they couldn’t be harder, or that it’s a bad thing that people don’t stop playing, I’m not that much of a hypocrite, but lets not pretend like Pokémon is something it isn’t.

[@electricfishfan7159]

Pokemon will never be, “for adults,” but what it has lost was being, “for all ages.” A baby game is different than a kid’s game is different than a regular game.

Ive only ever nuzlocked Fire Red before, and recently I watched Jan play Run and Bun and I felt the urge to give it a shot mostly because of the Endless Candy, Togglable Repel, and enforced level caps making it very accessible to players. I couldnt get past Brawley with Hardcore Nuzlocke rules, but I'm continuing the game anyways because of how cool the synergies and fights have been, u rarely get an enemy that has a bad team, its either a great team or a very niche team with a strategy that'll get u hyped up when u realize how to crack it. I'm currently walled by Chelle even without HC Nuzlocke rules, and I have to say this game has inspired me to create my own ROM hack. Incredible game, so easy to get started with, so fulfilling to get past each encounter. Huge props to Dekzeh for this fantastic game, and boo to the haters who are salty they cant Nuzlocke it properly and just cry about it all over reddit and twitter
