Ask Me Anything

is your username because of SiivaGunner?

@Azerus_Kun Actually, it isn't! I literally just picked my username because of the typical classic FPS protagonist that isn't named Duke Nukem usually being silent hence, Silent_Gunner! He or she is a tabula rasa; this person is the avatar you take on to overcome the challenges the game presents. You're not just passively watching this person save the world as someone watching, say an Alien movie is; you are the space marine, the prisoner escaping the Nazi camp, or the avatar you choose out of a list of avatars against other people and their avatars. An avatar that acts as a mask to cover your own being, and which you and others use to present themselves to the world!

Hence, why the name sort of stuck. When I'm doing something at, say, work, and my mind drifts off to other things because of the work being more demanding physically than it is mentally, I have a tendency to get all philosophical like I did above.

Why did you join GBAtemp?

@3DSBricker I initially joined GBATemp when I had some issues with hacking my Switch back when I'd say the Switch hacking scene was starting to get the ball rolling with the jig/paperclip exploit of the right Joy-Con rail. I had some issue that apparently others must have had, and its been so long since I had that problem with hacking that particular Switch of mine that I really can't remember what was wrong.

What's kept me here is the friendly community around these parts, and the fact that this place is a good hub for discussion of doing things with tech that most other sites aren't as equipped to handle.

Can Torkoal be Leered to have its Defense stat lowered?

@MichaelXD Uhm...uhh...sure...?

(for real tho, haven't played a Pokemon game ever in my life. I know, sacrilege, but I never played any of the games growing up, so I wouldn't be the best source of information regarding that)

MINE WAS, back on December 25, 2012. I just hope someone reads the footage better than the smogon community.

Why are you doing an AMA?

@3DSBricker Because why not? Everyone was doing one a day ago, and this party just keeps on going!
