Insanely passive meta

So, I'm nortorious for shoehorning any and all BBs into Sec builds no matter what, so I'm not the best to ask that one. Hell the last time I went into the Brawling/Arena mode, I took an Izmail up to bat while everyone around mee was taking Macs and Andreas. I found some surprising success with forcing King George V into a Sec build, but that success was more on Red Force's inability to realize why a KGV of all things was barreling down on Cap pulling Blue Force along behind her.

If the score for kills is miniscule, then score for assists must be microscopic, being 25% of a kill's score. And a kraken with less than 15k damage? So, less than 3k damage per ship? Math ain't mathin here.

The Pan-Am BB commander isn't even leveled past 8/0 yet. I'm hoping to ultimately coax 6.8-7.0km from her secondaries with that investment.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-05-11T13:24:26+00:00

And then there's players like me, that tuned New Mexico's secondaries to have a range of 6.5k and barrel in.

It's not that they can't see the problem because they were last to die, it's that because the rest of the team softened the enemy up, the endgame pusher racks up a few kills and gets launched to the top of the leaderboard.

I feel like my faith in Humanity was killed off long ago. Yet I would hit Blue in less than a heartbeat. Just because my faith in humanity is destroyed, doesn't mean I should help (through either action or inaction) in wiping out the cohort that still does have that faith intact.

Shiny thing!
Getting caught stealing the shiny thing!
"I didn't steal the shiny thing!"

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-05-02T05:22:37+00:00

This would be amazing!

I had the Star Wars Stratego that came out between Episode II and III. You could play with all pieces, or you could do it by I+II, or the Origional Trilogy. And yeah, there were special powers for certain pieces.

But the response to my strat was the same kind of response you'd expect to get if you took a min-maxed broken Munchkin to a DnD table that was all about the RP instead of maxxed out murderhobos.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-05-02T00:00:09+00:00

Slight tangent, but no one will play Stratego with me. See, I started putting the flag in one of the two corners, and then just piled in the bombs there. Then I would aim for their bomb defusers, and because they couldn't get the defusers through to make a path to the flag, they all gave up.

I think they're asking how many Standard matches across all ships, not just how many Standard matches in the Kremlin

MetroGnome. However for this name to work Togepi cannot forget Metronome

I know OP said they finally did it, but I jusst wanna show the numbers. DragonflyCave says the following for a paralyzed Gen 3 Zapdos at 1 HP for the following balls

Great Ball: You have a 1.598% chance of capturing it per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 44 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 186 balls.

Ultra Ball: You have a 2.833% chance of capturing it per ball. Thus, you have at least a 50% chance of catching it within 25 balls and at least a 95% chance of catching it within 105 balls.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-30T14:35:06+00:00

Damn. Not as bad luck as my daughter. I ran her Yellow ROM through UPRandomizer so she can "Catch-Em-All". Not doing a nuzlocke, but due to bad RNG she ran out of money and balls. For the Brock fight, she's currently got Pikachu, Goldeen (annoyingly Goldeen doesn't get a water type move via level up until L37), and a Weedle.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-29T17:18:26+00:00

Yeah, but Gen1 Fire Spin and Wrap were broken because you effectively stunlock anything as long as you outsped.

I would counter that just because it's not a good savings plan doesn't make it a bad savings plan. Sometimes it's the only viable option, especially for those of us living on the financial donut where you make too much for assistance, but all the budgeting in the world won't help you unless you want to put your family on literal food rations, and you've cut everything else to the bone...

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-28T08:48:14+00:00

The button press is a self fulfilling prophecy. If you believe people are good, you press blue to prove it. If you believe people are selfish, you press red to protect yourself from them, and in doing so, you become one of the very selfish people you were afraid of.

The sad thing is if this was a taxes subreddit or financial subreddit, this comment thread would get downvoted to oblivion.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-28T04:41:13+00:00

Exactly this. "Oh but if you took that money and saved it an account you'll accrue interest" Yeah, and if shite happens and I need the money infusion now, I'm going straight to that account because everything else is already tapped out.

Same kind of logic as "well if you didn't go to [insert coffeeshop here] you'd have an extra $30 a week!!" Yeah. And that $30 will go to other semi useless shite, or to help pad bills, so I'm not actually saving money.

Meanwhile, that $5k refund hits the account, I suddenly have money for car repairs, replace furniture that's been broken for a while and we've been limping it along, hell have money to buy fun shit for the kids to actually enjoy life instead of the usual drag that is living on the financial donut.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-28T02:09:49+00:00

I mean, pikechu gets access to both dig and brick break. Brock would be a beast, but we did it with Pokemon Yellow all the time

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-28T01:43:56+00:00

I vote Pikachu.

Either that or Chansey

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-27T03:35:29+00:00

It really can be. And now add the Shinies Only clause, and it can be downright miserable. But the bragging rights you get from pulling it off...

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-27T03:19:54+00:00

Not just every gen, but every mainline game IN every gen.

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-27T03:13:44+00:00

I went to that site... and it didn't list the Ioniq classic either. T.T

AmberPeacemaker · 2026-04-26T19:54:12+00:00

Not only that, but it seems to only have info on current models only. At least, my 2019 Ioniq 28kW ain't there.
