7 Stupidest Things That Blocked Your Path 😡

Developers will often come up with a clever way to keep you exploring somewhere you're not meant to be. Other times, they chuck any old nonsense in your way, regardless of how effective it would be at actually stopping you in your tracks - like psyducks with headache, a couple of suitcases, or a handful of ants.

[@bobwalsh3751]

Hello you...

[@VelvetTeacake]

Q

[@louckykoneko]

Pokémon XY had this part where there's supposedly a power outage and an area is locked off. the lights are still on and an npc can walk right past you as the npc blocking the path tells you that the area is locked off. makes for a really hilarious scene. EDIT: speaking of power outages in Pokémon, the Sunyshore roadblock in Diamond and Pearl might be the weirdest one ever. if you want to go to Sunyshore, someone tells you that there's a power outage. when you finally get there, the entire town turns out to be powered by solar panels. how does a town powered by solar panels get a power outage? okay, you could argue that Dialga messing with time or Palkia messing with space has some effect on the sun as well, but it's still stupid.

[@Mini_Squatch]

Actually running purely on solar power is prone to outages due to cloud cover.

[@phantomnite]

You're forgetting something. He tells you that even before all the shit with dialga and palkia

[@Maniacman2030]

Because solar panels aren't nearly as power efficient as people think. One cloudy day and entire towns can be screwed over. Unless you live in perpetually sunny places like Florida, Arizona or California*, then you can't really rely on it for too long. Heck, we don't even have the tech yet for batteries to store any extra power for later use, such as power outages. *I doubt you're going to read this whole thing but...* This is why I plug Nuclear. Safety measures* have improved several fold in the last several decades and going off of how much power it puts out, is much MUCH "greener" than the supposedly "green energy" of solar, which puts out a LOT of pollution when panels are made or wind, which ends up killing avian wildlife and requiring massive amounts of land. One nuclear power plant can replace SEVERAL coal/natural gas power stations and if we research more into thorium reactors, ALL of the coal stations in the country(in the U.S.) would become obselete. Not to mention, your electric bill would practically drop to pennies on the dollar due to how much energy was being put out. Just look it up, not even all of the power stations on planet Earth put together could pull off what ONE thorium reactor could. Almost forgot to mention, but what makes them great is, that the waste from thorium reactors could be RECYCLED and heck, will put out power while being recycled, then it can be reused! Even the heavy water can be reused. But you know why it ISN'T being researched more? Both the Oil and Green Lobbies are really powerful rackets with a lot of power. Not to mention, if you think they're opposing forces, they're actually both the corrupted sides of the same coin, putting on a show. Nuclear should be the future, but there's no money for them in making energy more efficient. *Chernobyl was lax safety measures and poor maintenance. Fukushima was not just the fault line and earthquakes, but being hit by a tsunami didn't help them much.

to be fair to the psyducks, there is literally an episode in the show where both ash's team and team rocket get stopped by 3 psyducks, thing to remember about psyducks is the worse their headache the more powerful their psychic attacks are.

[@dweebicusmaximus]

I think a Pokédex entry mentions that they get stronger the worse their headaches are?

[@preciousrogue1833]

@@dweebicusmaximus So turns out there is disagreement between different Pokedex as to whether the headache is caused by using the powers (e.g. Ultra Sun), or whether the powers are caused by the headache (e.g. Fire Red). So these Psyduck are now either the most powerful in existence, freed from their limiting headache to use their powers at will, or pathetically weak and unable to defend themselves. Either way I'm horrified because this means every Trainer with a Psyduck is effectively torturing them by making them experience pain to use their powers and wow Pokemon is awful when you think about it.

Worst case scenario is you personally never pay for a paywall again and they continue being part of the system. Best case is by cost of DLC development and lack of sales, they become unprofitable and lead to companies not putting paywalls in their games anymore. The last paid DLC I got was for COD4 and it sucked, as were previous paid DLC for other games. Never did it again and I have 0 regrets.
