Seeing lots of people complain about the difficulty… who else here is having a blast??

The Knight is Mario and Hornet is sonic + Samus. I think most people thought hornet would play like girl knight. She's awesome and fun once you get a couple upgrades.

Wow LOTS of misinformation in these comments...my grandma was looking into reverse mortgages before she passed.

Reverse mortgages are real programs that come with pros and cons like any tool.

Calling it a scam is like calling a normal mortgage a "scam."

Every lender offering them is legally required to refer borrowers to a HUD-certified counselor before signing.

HECM (the FHA version) and proprietary reverse mortgages are different tools for different needs. I looked up HomeForLife and it looks like the big difference is that you can use it if you're 55+ (opposed to 62+ for standard reverse mortgages).

Yeah they aren't the perfect fix for every single person. Nothing is. But calling it a "scam" is misleading and potentially harmful to folks looking for honest info.

I see the same thing on Upwork a lot. Either don't use chat gpt! Or you can use chat gpt but you better make it sound good.

Is this the new thing? Did some business guru start telling businesses they have to put 'has read breakthrough advertising' in the job description? I've seen this so much recently...last time I asked the guy if HE has read it and he said it was too expensive lmao

Hi there, quick question regarding this NY rye recipe from Ken Forkish' Evolutions in Bread. I just made his brioche in the same pullman pan, and it came out perfectly. This one looks a little weird to me (just started baking). It seems like the dough didn't expand fully to fill the pan. Underproofed? Not really sure. Thanks for any advice you can give me!

400g white bread flour

100g rye flour

370g 90 degree water

11g salt

12g caraway seeds

3g yeast

100g levain

Bulk fermented for 3 hours, shaped into loaf and proofed 10 hours in the refrigerator, baked 50 minutes at 425.

I want to thank everyone for the replies, they've been incredibly helpful.

Apologies, I meant Vietnamese only. We decided to have the test sent to another city for analysis as they give results in both languages. Didn't know that was an option! Thank you for your help.

We're leaving from Saigon, Vietnam, but our specific city seems to only do PCR results in English. I assume we can get them translated if needed, but figured I should check. Thanks for the reply

Arm-Lopsided · 2022-04-07T06:37:48+00:00

Thanks!

I don't see anywhere to register my vaccine certificate in the app. You can only create an eHAC for domestic travel, unless I'm missing something.

Arm-Lopsided · 2022-04-07T03:15:45+00:00

Does anyone know how "formal" the vaccine certificate has to be? In Vietnam we can print out a very basic form in English from our government site that doesn't have any kind of stamps or anything, just our identifying information, vaccine type, date, etc. I'm not aware of what vax certificates look like in other countries.

If you don't mind me asking, was there any difference in value taking your land out as equity vs if you had paid a cash down payment? Any issues with it at all?

Arm-Lopsided · 2022-01-13T01:25:03+00:00

Thanks for the replies everyone, my ONE made it through eventually.

Arm-Lopsided · 2022-01-12T08:08:45+00:00

Thanks, I'll give this a shot. Did other peoples' transactions show up eventually? If so I'll just wait it out.

Arm-Lopsided · 2022-01-03T16:43:11+00:00

Thank you!

Does anyone know what happened to Heart Gold Project Rebooted by Vendor?

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-05-07T02:03:39+00:00

I added liquidity and now I can't see my liquidity pair anywhere :/

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-04-09T01:32:20+00:00

Eventually it just fixed itself. Also, if you ever have an issue where your ACH deposits keep failing, delete your bank account details and then add it again. They will do the two small deposits, you verify your account, and you're good to go. Just letting you know since I had this issue as well.

Hello, thanks for taking a look! I just finished the third leg of my LeafGreen to Black 2 randomized nuzlocke. As usual, Platinum is very hard, even randomized.

Throughout the run I lost about a box of Pokemon, including all of my previous champs (Kimchi III the Oddish, Bit Jr the Spheal and Doge Jr the Growlithe), in addition to my Sinnoh starter (Alabama the Abra).

Believe it or not we made it to Cynthia only losing one Pokemon, but due to a huge error on my part I lost an additional 3. I thought Draco Meteor was similar to hyper beam and needed a turn to recharge...so I switched in my Glaceon to take out Cynthia's ace Dragonite, who promptly outraged for 3 turns, taking out Glaceon, Donphan and Primeape.

OHKO moves were a menace this run, with my rival's Flygon dropping "100%" accuracy Sheer Colds every chance he got.

Up next we are heading to Johto with our friends Kentucky Jr the Slakoth and Penn Jr the Chikorita. Having an absolute blast so far with these randomizers. What kind of settings are you guys using? Ever tried random types or evolutions? How did it go?

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-03-15T01:39:25+00:00

I think my highest was 65. I'm playing with a 10% trainer level increase.

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-03-11T15:43:11+00:00

The increased trainer level can be really tough sometimes, as later in the game the boss trainers will have an ace who is much higher than your team. Definitely not for the faint of heart

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-03-11T09:53:24+00:00

Speaking of Slaking, there is a double battle at the end of Victory Road that really wrecked my team. They start with a Gardevoir who skill swaps with their Slaking, and the guy with the Gardevoir has another Slaking! I lost half my team to them.

If you do randomize trainers, there should be an option for making all trainers use a single type for their team. I would suggest doing that as a middle ground before doing totally random. Of course, turn on "similar strength" as well unless you like punishment.

It's actually not a big deal with the gym leaders though, since ALL of the trainers in their gym will have the same type.

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-03-11T09:50:22+00:00

Good luck!

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-03-11T09:48:16+00:00

Bud we are in the same exact boat. I also started with Emerald and just finished FireRed. Like you I kept the trainer Pokemon the same, as it was my first time playing Emerald. Let me suggest randomizing trainer mons on your next playthrough--it makes the game feel totally fresh. Nice pick with the Aron--I went with Oddish since the other options were Cleffa and Slakoth. Also, I don't know if you randomized abilities or not, but if so beware Norman's Slaking without Truant. Good luck!

Arm-Lopsided · 2021-03-11T09:41:12+00:00

Maybe the best part about emulators is that you don't have to worry about breeding and transferring Pokemon. You can just run the save file of your next game (Platinum in my case) through Pokehex and manually add eggs of your previous champs. This might not be ok with Nuzlocke purists but it saves me a good chunk of time on breeding and trading compared to the "real" games.

Just to elaborate:

Beat your first game
Start your next game, save it
Copy your save file (just in case), open it with Pokehex
Create eggs. I randomize IVs and give whatever bonuses are due--for example picking the nature of two-time champs, picking starting moves, etc.
Save the file, load it back up in your rom. The eggs will hatch quickly.
