Every other time someone tries to explain networking, it comes across as "befriend people so you can take advantage of their resources."

It's not sincere to pick people to befriend solely due to what they have or who they know. It should be about who has similar values and who you get along with.

The way networking is described can lead one to believe that if you can't get certain people to like you despite your best efforts, then you don't deserve to succeed.

Are there any set of trainers with Pokémon between 50 and like 57?

Mt. Battle leaps from the low 40s in Area 6 to just below 60 in Area 7. Got to the Area 7 leader, and a bad ordering of my team made clear how underleveled my team is.

Miror B is all lvl 57 and because my team is underleveled, his Swift Swim Ludicolos outspeed almost my entire team and wreck them.

I spent a lot of yesterday just fighting the colored squad over and over at the lab, since their teams are all lvl 50.

Usually they start by like opening their mouth way more than necessary. Then they'll like chew with their mouth open and smack their lips more than the natural way. Not sure if I'm explaining it right, but if you've seen enough food blog videos, you probably know what I'm talking about.

I guess the idea is for the audience to hear the texture, crunch, or other parts of the food's quality, but I'd rather just hear about it than be shown. It's gotten to a point where I feel myself getting disgusted by seeing/hearing a video like that.

Now I gotta do that awkward hold where I'm holding the cup by the cap and the bottom, else I risk hurting my hand and dropping the cup altogether.

Jolteon: Thunderbolt, Thunder Wave, Thunder, Pin Missle.

Ursaring: Return, Facade, Earthquake, Brick Break.

Houndoom: Flamethrower, Sunny Day, Solarbeam, (Bite or Faint Attack).

Walrein: Ice Beam, Water Pulse, Rain Dance, Body Slam.

Gardevoir: Psychic, Calm Mind, Reflect, (Shock Wave or Light Screen).

Crobat: Aerial Ace, Shadow Ball, Giga Drain, (Double Team, Hyper Beam, or Poison Fang).

Some explanations:

Walrein's Rain Dance is to support Water Pulse and allow Jolteon to use Thunder.

Ursaring would only use Earthquake if Crobat is on the field, or if Reflect is up and Walrein/Gardevoir are deployed.

Ursaring's Facade will only be used when statused, to synergize with Guts.

If Gardevoir doesn't use Light Screen, I can eventually replace Shock Wave with Thunderbolt, depending on how long that takes. Either move could also be used to give Jolteon free healing.

I wanted to put Sludge Bomb and Steel Wing on Crobat but apparently those are post-game only.

What do y'all think?

Jolteon, Ursaring, Houndoom, Gardevoir, (2 out of Walrein, Crobat, Flygon)

Currently in the lab, so I already have Jolteon, Teddiursa, Houndour, and Spheal in my party. Ralts is coming soon, and once the wild zones are unlocked, I'll go for Zubat and Trapinch. Zubat is common so that shouldn't take too long. The idea is that I'll keep going for Trapinch, but if I get impatient enough, I'll keep Walrein on the team. If I get Trapinch, I still might keep Walrein if I realized Crobat won't be able to contribute as well.

I initially floated the idea of including Butterfree, just to sleep shadow mons, but then I realized that Sleep Powder would be the ONLY viable thing Butterfree could do. Plus I have Jolteon with Thunder Wave (already taught by the move tutor) and that's probably good enough.

What do y'all think?

1. Chapter 9: trusted too much the "Roam" AI of the Ally units; the way Lethe moved left Mist open to get one-shotted by a knight. Used a lot more "Target" the next time around.

2. Chapter 13: turn 1; focused so much on the enemies in the middle that I didn't notice the Myrmidon on the right was able to get around and behind Astrid and one-round her before I could even talk to her. Next run I had to change my initial move to put Jill behind Astrid.

3. Also Chapter 13: I had all the beorc enemies taken care of, it was just a matter of the remaining ravens. After I took the last chest, I knew they were going to flee but I was still worried they would go after someone they could one-round, so I focused the rest of my turn on taking out any ravens I could and making sure my weak units were out of range or surrounded. The one raven I didn't kill ran...into the defend point that I left wide open.

4. Chapter 17 part 3: Everything was going smoothly. I took out all the units except for the two mages that spawn as reinforcements on the upper left side. I noticed that Rolf could one-round each of them (yes, I'm using Rolf; I know he sucks but I'm having fun training him), and there was one spot where both of them would be forced to attack him from 2 range. Once enemy phase started, I noticed that I didn't previously check Rolf's health and he was 2 hits from death. Both mages hit. All I had to do when moving him was have him use a vulnerary. I'll try again tomorrow...

If i wasn't multitasking the whole time, this one definitely would have gotten the extremely upgrade.

Forgive me if anything I say below doesn't make sense or uses incorrect terminology. I've been at this all night.

All I want to do is use something I can run on my computer to do synthesis or just create a schematic of a VHDL design I'm creating on my personal device.

Recently, I had been using GHDL for compilation and simulation, and using GTKwave to view the waveform results.

What I gathered through multiple sources is that I can use the TerosHDL extension in VS Code to view schematics of my design (I forget if it can do RTL schematics of Gate-Level, at this point I'd accept either). Something about installing Yosys and linking TeroHDL to it and GHDL.

I ended up finding the oss-cad-suite executable and I was told that was the way. Apparently that particular download doesn't have a specific yosys_ghdl executable that is necessary for TerosHDL to not produce an error. Idk.

Only to see later that it's not actually the right one(?), then I saw on a similiar Reddit thread a link where something about MSYS2 to download packages for Yosys or something. I did that, again having to google what the hell it meant to "use MSYS2". Then the thread ran out of steps, so I ended up Gemini-ing what to do with the downloaded packages. It gave me steps on how to edit a settings json file, and something something same error. I'm pretty sure Gemini was just hallucinating steps.

I'm hoping that there is a thorough video tutorial that exists that I may have missed; if so can someone please link me to it? Or is there someone that can give some sort of detailed set of steps that may give me an idea of what I'm missing or if there's another link I need to download tools from? Or is it possible that what I'm trying to do doesn't exist on any sort of open-source tool set?

Again, I apologize for the ranty and possibly hard-to-understand issue. Thank you again for any potential insight or even solidarity.

Is it viable to just paralyze them and just chuck Ultra Balls at them until they've run out of Recover PP? The idea is to not waste turns wittling them down only for them to heal just as they've hit the red zone.
