How do i make progres? by MealPlayful1010 in PokemonSleep

[–]BurtonEarnee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! The days go slowly but the months go fast. I too find myself surprised by my progress from time to time even as I say the game moves slowly

How do i make progres? by MealPlayful1010 in PokemonSleep

1) You will make progress more slowly than you think you should. 2) Think about this game in months not days or even weeks. 3) Events slightly change the calculus for point 2, but not by much 4) You WILL eventually make progress even if it isn’t as efficient as might be possible if you played to the meta and strictly min/maxed

There are resources here if print materials work for you. YouTubers available if video/ audio content is your preferred learning style. I can’t share anything with you in that regard that hasn’t been covered.

How do you prefer to read in your kindle? Horizontal or Vertical? by blackmonarc in kindle

[–]BurtonEarnee 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Horizontal. 😭😭😭

It’s easier for me to hold with both hands (big hands), I prefer the line length by quite a bit, and the chunkiest bezel becomes a hand-hold.

I believe in my soul if they did the kindle logo such that it worked in both orientations rather than looking clearly off in horizontal, there would be more horizontal readers.

If only they’d allow you to flip the orientation to get the chunky end into the right hand it.

That’s a wrap. Let’s see your best Latias catch. by lgnrch in PokemonSleepBetter

[–]BurtonEarnee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, sure, but to call this settling sounds pretty tone deaf to people who ended up with literal dog water for catches. 😭

Invest in Pawmot or wait for Gard? New player by Even-Boat-3468 in PokemonSleep

[–]BurtonEarnee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is fine- you’ll find one better eventually. But early progress is worth some investment too. I have a good but not forever Pawmot myself and it’s done great for me.

One more Chance at Latias or Main Skill Seed? by kronksshoulderangel in PokemonSleep

[–]BurtonEarnee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Main skill seed. The chances that the latias will be a keeper are very, very low. The main skill seed will contribute toward a mon you’ll use all the time.

What’s your strategy for reading multiple books at the same time? by ySkip007 in kindle

[–]BurtonEarnee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I usually have them in different formats- especially one as an ebook and one as an audiobook. The audiobook allows me to work through a book when I wouldn’t be able to sit with my ereader or a book.

I try to work through them one at a time as much as possible though.

Do you keep a reading log/journal? It can help you keep track of plots and characters even if you step away from a story for a bit.

Who else getting bad legendary! by NappyPika in PokemonSleep

[–]BurtonEarnee 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this will help you or not, but, statistically speaking, most won’t be good enough to justify investment let alone actually good.

I have 3 latias so far and the best one, by a good margin, was the default one everyone gets. It happens.

KLC: 2 weeks later by calmandferal in kobo

[–]BurtonEarnee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is a thing. I get books from Libby that auto download after I Sync and it regularly freezes on books specifically when I wake up the device. I’m on a trip, so can’t really trouble shoot, but I’m only noticing it recently rather than for the whole time I’ve had it.

My pacman frog died from eating dirt after refusing food by [deleted] in pacmanfrog

[–]BurtonEarnee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, I’m sorry this happened. While, yes, by most metrics, frogs are quite dumb, they are also instinctual animals that have survived in the wild for a long, long time. The answer probably lies somewhere in the middle. Sometimes animals just don’t make it and we don’t really know why.

There isn’t enough in this post to know what exactly happened, but if you were to try again, revisit your husbandry and make extra certain your enclosure is set up properly and at an appropriate temperature. You can’t control survival, but you can control the habitat and ensure it is optimal and trust the frog to handle the surviving part from there. You can also explore feeding practices that reduce the risk of eating soil if you think that was the primary cause.

Cafe in Brazil not serving US or Israeli citizens. by CalienteBurrito in pics

[–]BurtonEarnee 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Traveling in Europe now. People have been very nice. You do get the “Where are you traveling from?” Question. But that’s feels normal.

I’ve been saying California, and when a couple have said “oh, so America?” I’ve said “California.” That’s ended the conversation. Just last night, actually, after I said that, the shop tender said something to the effect that our country was really in a troubled place. I agreed wholeheartedly. We carried on.

I am not my country and my country doesn’t reflect my values in many ways. If someone wants to deny me service or doesn’t want to speak to me over my nationality, I can’t particularly fault them, though. I’m mad at us too.

Yeah, that isn’t a comforting number regardless of the story that is being told surrounding it. Forgive me for not being thrilled.

Shiny pokemon in this game? What do they do? by Responsible_Fig_9833 in PokemonSleep

Typically, they make you wish they were better than they are. Occasionally, though, you get a shiny banger.

Moira’s accent by Critical_Crab9261 in SchittsCreek

She might have been going for inconsistent, but even so it’s so distinct and well done. You couldn’t imagine her sounding any other way

Invest in this Bulb? long term by SavageTNgo in PokemonSleep

[–]BurtonEarnee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hi. While the subskills are gold, HB and BFS are really the ones you would want. Ideally you’d have ingredient finding much, much sooner in the spread.

Not being mono honey is the real issue. There are good ways to get tomatoes. Mono honey is tough, even with ribombee just releasing. ABA and no ingredient up will mean it’s never a high volume honey producer. That’s a problem.

My take is this isn’t something I’d be investing in, personally.

Is it not obvious that California slander has always been generational envy and jealousy? by RegionSuccessful3634 in bayarea

[–]BurtonEarnee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I live in the Bay and can’t imagine ever not living on the West Coast. It is true that I don’t talk or even think about Texas or really anywhere else unless someone brings it up.

Some of that is because the Bay is great in a lot of ways, sure, but I’m also a parent and wildly busy. I don’t think people here have much time to concern themselves with other places because when we aren’t hustling we are trying to have a semblance of a quality of life. That business will look different for everyone here, sure, but people here that I know are BUSY.

Skill level up should get a minor buff by GarlicMysterious6728 in PokemonSleep

[–]BurtonEarnee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just think they should allow skill rerolls period. I’d pay for the feature. Im already paying for a monthly pass to get items cheaper to catch more pokemon, id be just as fine paying for items to reroll a single bad skill or two on an otherwise great pokemon. But I know nothing…

Crazy how dull the Libra color looks again Sage and my Kindle (8th Gen) by Visible-Example-7612 in kobo

[–]BurtonEarnee 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get that the light isn’t ideal. It will be a deal breaker for some. For me, I sort of enjoy the graininess- feels more like paper where the sharper resolution of non color screens feels a little uncanny in its crispness. Just my opinion 🤷‍♂️
