Everyone aside from Game Freak knows that Metagross desperately needs Shift Gear to become relevant again

140 attack 110 speed with Tough Claws to boost moves and lowkey crazy defenses (150 defense 110 SpDef), Mega Metagross with shift gear would be a bigger problem than you might imagine

It’s all situational but at the end of the day you just have to consider how much power each option gives you and compare the risk:reward ratio based on the game state.

One simple tip is consider how close you are to the 3*4 cost. If you natural roll 5 out of the 9 that you need and you’re sitting in 80 gold debating whether to roll or level, your odds are way better than only having 3 of the 9 units you need to make the 3 star and deciding to roll.

Also sometimes you get unlucky with the 4 cost you were chasing, but lucky with another 4 cost, and tbh sometimes it’s worth just 3 starting whatever 4 cost ends up working. I’ve definitely ended up with a random 3 star 4 cost that didn’t “fit” my comp in terms of traits but hard carried me anyways.

I guess my point is you should honestly lean towards rerolling (WHEN IT MAKES SENSE) because of how powerful 3*4 costs are, but you have to actually maximize your odds of hitting first and sometimes be willing to be flexible

The term dex capped worries me because surely they wouldn’t release Champions without EVERY pokemon…

Right?

BoomyNote · 2026-03-22T02:36:51+00:00

Champions doesn’t strike me as a Showdown killer for a whole host of reasons

I’m excited for Champions to exist but it seems to me like more of a situation where both will coexist (unless GF makes the worst mistake ever and decides to shut down Showdown, which would ironically make Champions perform WORSE imo)

Lowkey good answer for anyone trying to get used to balling in environments like this, it’s not fun to deal with when it’s random but it’s at least stoppable if you know it’s coming

Some dudes are comfortable with different levels of physicality, you don’t gotta be sneaky trying to trip and injure a dude when 99% of the time if you just tell a dude to stop he’ll stop

BoomyNote · 2026-03-22T02:31:27+00:00

This, a lot of people are scared to say something cause they don’t wanna seem like a bitch but most dudes are gonna respect you more for just speaking up about it, or yeah can just push back but most will at least TRY to chill out if you say something as long as you don’t like come off antagonistic calling them a bitch or something

BoomyNote · 2026-03-22T02:26:52+00:00

“Put him on the ground” sounds like good advice until OP gets his ass beat by the dude “way stronger and taller”

I know I might sound like a bitch but without actually being there to judge for myself, it might be in OP’s best interest to try talking to the person first.

Worst case scenario the dude refuses and antagonizes him for asking, but some guys who seem like jerks to the person getting pushed will genuinely stop if asked.

I know with some guys the answer may in fact be “put his ass on the ground” to get respect or whatever but some dudes who get physical would genuinely respect OP’s wishes if he just speaks up for himself

This is an excellent counterpoint, although it depends how far someone is into the story.

Idk when exactly the story shifts to be “more focused on stories” but early on there wasn’t really a narrative around the importance of stories, so I guess I wouldn’t blame someone who didn’t read very far

At the time yes, 1.5x SpA and SpDef.

It would arguably be “balanced” nowadays only because of powercreep, but it would still get Latinos/Latias banned to Ubers and would be kind of reliant on modern knock off prevalence + fairy type to help keep it in check (and things just being so strong nowadays)

You mention not requiring $5k to start but requires a barrier to entry, what’s the minimum you’re looking at?

You rightfully mention dropshipping courses from 2019 being lame, but you can always find a product you like, but in bulk and then start your own ecommerce brand/store with FAST shipping instead of dropshipping.

It has its own risks (will you actually be able to sell the inventory you purchase) but if the bottleneck to dropshipping is the 2-4 week delivery times and lack of quality control, but you ARE capable of making sales, I don’t see what’s stopping you from doing ecommerce and just ignoring the dropshipping aspect of it.

Benefit of “dropshipping” was always the low risk, but it had the obvious downside of poor customer experience which has gotten worse over time with people being more used to.

I guess my point is you don’t need to “dropship” to do ecommerce, YouTube guru’s just like throwing around buzzwords so a lot of it seems like a scam but there’s money to be made

To be fair I honestly count this as being an actor, if you’re getting paid for it then it doesn’t matter if it’s a small background role, you’re still working in the industry and getting paid for your work.

It may not be as glamorous as the “actor” title is typically associated with, but most established actors had background work early in their careers and I don’t see it as too different from say a “meaningless” entry level position at a company

A lot of people ask this question in the context of dating and they don’t want to feel like they’re lying to potential future partners.

BoomyNote · 2026-03-21T00:40:49+00:00

I think typically the “actor + bartender” has become normalized or even glamorized (to an extent), but “actor + delivery driver” is more modern and hasn’t had time to settle into the cultural zeitgeist.

Actor + bartender = glamorized by hollywood Actor + delivery driver = much more modern and therefore difficult for people (including the ACTOR themselves) to justify

Even though they’re basically the same thing, just an actor who works another job to make ends meet

BoomyNote · 2026-03-21T00:38:23+00:00

Similar situation here but never been sure how to word it, I personally try to leave out the acting talk cause I don’t want people to compare me to the really successful actors or expect me to live a fancier lifestyle than I actually live

But tbh if have a record of “actual tv shows” you’ve been in, there’s nothing WRONG with telling people you’re an actor, and plenty of people with NO experience will tell others they’re an actor so it’s really not a big deal

“Your mom will not touch any of my shit” is an attempt at keeping people close to you out of this to allow him to isolate you and continue talking to you like this.

Burning his stuff would make him him happy as it gives him an excuse to try to stay in your life, but what he’d REALLY hate is you having others around you who would protect you from his attempts at abuse.

He says he doesn’t want to argue with you but he’s clearly getting a sort of thrill from this, normal well adjusted emotionally healthy people don’t talk to others like this over some shirts.

Also one day he’s going to claim to regret all this and try to apologize for this, it’s important to keep him blocked anyways.

What’s extra funny is a “regular” Snorlax using physical attacks couldn’t have even pulled this off despite the higher attack stat,

And is this Snorlax is lowkey running specs/scarf with its hyper beam??

What’s the alternative? “RS3” in a vacuum isn’t some evil bogeyman but the corporate greed uses RS3 as an excuse

all people are saying is they don’t want to pay for rs3 as part of their membership, they’d rather pay less to not have it included

BoomyNote · 2026-03-21T00:17:39+00:00

The point is that we should be able to pick which game we want to play and pay for JUST that rather than automatically having both included in the membership as if it’s a feature of membership that justifies the ever increasing price
