It's time for you to find Micro. The cycle continues.

I installed Arch on my daily driver because I wanted a challenge.
It's too dependable, even when updating every other day and installing a bunch of nonsense from the AUR. Where's my challenge?

Timeshift is great. I've recovered from an rm -rf /* with it, just to see if I could. Turns out: yes.

Things have gotten harder for me! But that's because the things I want to do with it get more interesting and complicated as my knowledge grows.

I don't think that's even true. He just had enough money that he could fail 99 times before succeeding once, and the return from that one was enough that he could fail 999 times before succeeding, and so on.
He just threw money around until enough other people succeeded in big enough ways, and then he claims credit.

There's an episode where Brain gets incapacitated and Pinky takes over the world. Did I dream that?

Well that looks absolutely excellent. I love the books.
I did not expect to be this excited about The Rise And Fall of Sanctuary Moon.

The first gym is rock, the second is water, the third is electric. Charmander has a really hard time in those first two matchups and only hits neutral in the third. At this stage of the game, it's really difficult to fill out your types because the wild Pokémon are largely birds, bugs, and rats.
If you're really lucky, you'll hit the extremely low encounter rate for Pikachu in Viridian Forest, and if you're even luckier, you'll catch one. But that only helps you against Misty.

In contrast, Bulbasaur is super effective against the first two gyms, and is merely neutral against Lt. Surge and his electric mice.
And by that point you've fed two whole gyms full of trainers and gym leaders into your Bulbasaur (by virtue of not having to constantly rotate through your back line just to survive).
Which means it can both take a beating and lay a smackdown in what is on its face a "neutral matchup".

After that point the game opens up dramatically and that initial advantage fades.

I'm lazy or I'd add a third row to the meme that has the turtles ushering a scaled-down copy of the second row into the distance.
Because, you know... It's turtles all the way down.
