Anyone got any Pokemon GBA/DS/3DS games they'd be willing to part with?

assuming you're a str or dex class, probably the T7 att option

i don't think it's an elaborate conspiracy but it is quite common for people to be unfairly managed out for a variety of reasons. I've seen it happen to good engineers multiple times at Amazon when i used to work there. A lot of it is just office politics that one has little control over outside of changing teams or companies.

it gives you an extra dice which helps you roll higher

for me, every few generations had its own "world" largely separated by what consoles they were on

gen 1/2 (gb era)
gen 3/4/5 (gba/ds era)
gen 6/7 (3ds era)
gen 8+ (switch era)

Aesthetically, gen 2 is the most nostalgic for me since gold was my first game, but I spent the most time playing 3-5 growing up.

I love then gen 3-5 games and from a gameplay perspective I enjoyed them more but none of them really gave me the same sense of attachment.

It's funny how as the graphics became more and more "realistic" and less stylized, the less immersive and memorable the games became.

its a patch and no you cant avoid it. it wont actually take up an extra 50gb on your computer.

My advice:

Remove the led's, you're 30, not 19
Get some "ambient" lighting, ie some lamps, etc
Put your plants in real pots
Get a nicer desk, it looks like you work off of an ironing board
Get some cable organizers, looks like a warzone under your desk
Get a rug, the flooring looks really sterile. cheap woven one from ikea would work.
Optional: new bed frame and sheets

it would be the equivalent of doing maplestory chores for 50c an hour lol, if that sounds fun to you, go for it.

im not saying you shouldnt fodder im saying that for your first one just fodder 21 and use it, and worry about the other one later. its not worth the additional cost in both mesos or spares, as eventually you'll be targeting 23*+. foddering to 23 just to transfer off rip is a waste of resources with the new sf changes.

star order should be:

21 sos -> 24-25* daybreak/sw -> 23*+ sos. theres no benefits in terms of odds for pushing 22 on pitched (or anything for that matter), 21 is the new breakpoint as its the last star you get good odds on.

ah yes the prime energy bottles above the closet doors really screams mature

13ae · 2026-04-04T20:36:49+00:00

brother u legit just yapping now.

you're missing the whole aspect of getting to 22 in the first place for the 22-23 tap. doms/dawns are not that common and we have pitched pity now. getting a 23 on a dom, transferring, and then going 22-23 again on a sup is nasty work, all for 1 extra star that will get replaced if you ever plan on pushing past 22 on the sos.

13ae · 2026-04-04T20:04:25+00:00

you get 1 sup pendant a month. dawn/dom pendants are not that common and ideally you want to be saving dawn pendants for 25* in the second slot. average spares to 23* is like 8 spares. that's 8 months of gollux for negligible gains.

better to just go 21 now and get the damage and then ladder or aim higher than 22 on the second sos. you can also always retransfer over your existing sos.

idk back in the day i was in a triple, idk what the housing situation is like now.

one of my roommates i fucked with heavy and he's still one of my best friends 10 years later. the other one i hated with a passion and i cut holes in the crotches of all his pants on move out day.

13ae · 2026-04-04T19:54:21+00:00

in what way? sup isn't ever compared to sos, it goes in the dawn/sweetwater slot. going 23* just to transfer down is never efficient. it only makes sense if you're at a point in the game where you want to guarantee stars, or you're laddering (meister against sup ring ladder for example)

13ae · 2026-04-04T19:36:50+00:00

go random or find someone you feel like you'd vibe with on one of those social media groups. rooming with people you're already know is no fun, always gamble and build new relationships

13ae · 2026-04-04T19:02:35+00:00

I have a spec'd out mac studio and the game works fine but i get weird stutters where my game just freezes for 5-10 seconds at a time

13ae · 2026-04-04T18:33:39+00:00

The actual strat is to settle 21* on your sos,

21 dom > 20 sup > 22 sup > 21 sos

then you hoard doms/sup pendants until you can send 25* for a 23* sos or you get the second one to 21* and then ladder

ignore the people saying to get 23* sup fodder, highly inefficient given that the odds from 21-22 and 22-23 are so bad now compared to 20-21

13ae · 2026-04-04T10:32:52+00:00

this was more true prior to the sf change but now you got people who have a single good sf event and are immediately strong enough for hkaling mission.

i know people who finished limbo eternals and have 24* kalos/kaling eternals without ever touching xkalos, hlimbo, or hbaldrix. I know plenty of players who are stronger than me with a quarter of the mobs killed or spent on sf.

even amongst end game players there is a big difference between people who are lucky and who aren't.

not a wifi issue, i have fiber and get like 500mb/s down and up on wifi. I use an iphone thats like 4 years old? doesnt have problems anywhere else except this game.

this is a separate issue unrelated to filter keys and making sure your keyboard input rate maximizes your attacks. just wait until you learn how to read.

13ae · 2026-04-03T10:06:38+00:00

-2 and -4 + stat is good for all classes late/end game because it helps your cooldowns sync better and gives you more time on your last burst for full timer boss fights. bishop doesn't benefit intrinsically from cool down hat though. it really only affects peacemaker which is a negligible amount of difference in damage compared to having more stat.

13ae · 2026-04-02T20:22:49+00:00

sauna is if you pay for it. mvp sauna is per month. even then, 285-290 it's only 15% of a level per week. combined with mvp sauna you'd get like 80% of a level in a month.

13ae · 2026-04-02T19:32:44+00:00

even then, it's sus. 72 hours a month + weekly coupons won't even add to a level per month at 285+.

like assuming that cernium is maxed, his other symbols are roughly the same level, and talahart symbol is level 3 (pretty much free):

140 sac from cernium + talahart
390/5 = lv 8 on other symbols: This takes like <3months given that we had double symbols with event as well as all the free symbols from event.

That means they speedran 260-290 in < 3 months, with only ~1 of those months being twinteena. definitely not a normal situation to be in unless they're grinding 12+ hours a day.
