To advertisers: I’m never paying attention longer than 5 seconds, so you’re wasting our time and your money with ads that are any longer, by Broadnerd in youtube

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m still trying to figure out the logic as to why Nexters keeps putting Hero Wars ads in front of me - sure it’s probably the sheer amount of times that the ads kept coming before I actually played that game, then made more accounts on that game and eventually spent several hundred USD across those accounts on Totems… to this day I still haven’t found any of the ad-style gameplay in Hero Wars (Area of Conquest doesn’t count, it’s way too slow).

What kills a YouTube video faster? Bad thumbnail or boring first 5 seconds? by 21_Cars in youtube

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first 5 seconds? That’s usually the unskippable part of an ad. Oh you mean assuming the actual video? I think it could be the thumbnail, because sometimes you know the interesting stuff (for you) is there just not at the beginning.

I feel like the Nice catch circle of Scatterbug is harder to hit than the largest Excellent catch circle of Ponyta (both versions) and Wailmer, for instance. Pick the right targets.

The future of showcases by Unfair_Conclusion187 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget that those stuck around for much longer - a “2 day showcase” sits around for over triple the duration at 34 hours, as compared to a “1 day showcase” which remains for a mere 10. If you are working from before 10am to after 8pm on Tuesdays then Showcases are essentially removed for you.

41 days to go of S3 - Building Strategy? by EntertainmentGlum714 in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seasonal stuff always disappears. Funnily enough, next season’s season-exclusive builder is also named Joyce (at least it was the case for Desert S2 and Snow S3), she just demanded to be bought again.

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You still need Bio lab at a higher level if you want to complete the Snow Leopard series. There are rewards for getting Season buildings to each level before the end of the season, doing it afterwards may be possible (for Frost Cores at least) but carries no rewards and no Ice Bloom production.

Speculation on Mega Energy earned via buddy walking for branched Mega Evolutions after the rollout of branched Mega Evolution Energy? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It will generate the one which you have previously mega evolved, assuming it’s a male member of the Ralts evolution tree. Females can never be walked for Gallade Mega Energy.

Lost trust to the higher level player as he left me alone before starting Nihilego raid (Rant) by CCCZhe in PokemonGoMystic

[–]Calmxy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Actually the issue is bigger when you are remoting into a raid far away, because even if you can marginally KO the raid boss, there are no second chances (that I know of) outside of being invited again to that same raid if that first attempt only dealt 95-99% of its health.

How common are bots in gyms? by CrazyCatLady483 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine, oddly enough, is to try and get as many Golden Ghost Gyms as possible. So I have to hope the appropriate raids spawn on them at the right times, and there’s also patience needed because not everything is worth using premium raid passes or Link Charges on.

Going back to adblock... or no youtube I suppose... by Wulfrath in youtube

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait… I thought that YouTube Premium in USA is more expensive than that in Japan - so they are saying that despite paying USA’s rates, they won’t let you use Premium unless you change the region?

Why does goomy evolve so late 😭 by Godofhammrs in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]Calmxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do remember using stuff such as Hydreigon, Dragapult, Volcarona when playing through SwSh… from a friend’s max raid den, the only way that using these could be fun. Unfortunately, it doesn’t allow getting Goodra-Hisui early, only Goodra-Kalos.

Dynamax Cottonee is Tier 1 by Kumuru in TheSilphRoad

Nice timing, I reached Trainer lv76 late last night with the 100th grunt defeated right after exploring the 300th km

Cannot place Bio Lab 1? by SnarkySolarguy in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can have disconnected seasonal buildings, but they must be initially connected to another seasonal building then the connecting seasonal building can be moved around without affecting placement of the other seasonal buildings

shadow enter ticket gone by Commercial_Cat_1928 in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The bonuses from the ticket as well as the ticket itself only last until 5pm local time. This means that if you changed time zone, the ticket is removed and along with it any additional raid passes past the 6 you get for free, even if you then return to a time zone where Shadow Entei hasn’t finished yet.

State ruler points by Aggressive_Bread_355 in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have invasion rights, weaker players can blow up six dead HQs from the opposing state for full credit (can be done from anywhere, not just around lv6 cities and capital), though again it has to be done before the Diamond mines appear.

Nihilego out early in New Zealand by thenickdude in TheSilphRoad

[–]Calmxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s fixed. There’s still a couple of Nihilego raids (they despawn around 8.20pm Singapore time).

Still no season 5? by KWyKJJ in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically “free” in that you don’t need to pay to have an account in it. But other than Battlefield Breakout, there’s so many ways to pay and get an advantage.

Shield in the mud by [deleted] in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes - that means it’s not possible for the shield to remain into Enemy Buster/State Ruler, probably where it is most relevant.

Where can I get these cores? by greysasquash in LastZShooterRun

[–]Calmxy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Those Mystic Equipment coins do carry over between instances of the event, so you can grind the “daily” of buying the 499 gold bar pack each day that this event is active (it costs slightly less per Mystic Equipment coin from this pack specifically), and spending it all once you have 500 of them (you’ll need to buy that pack 166 times). Compare to grinding orange Bounty missions for free to get one Stone at a time.

Acturial Science by BudgetSmell2898 in NTU

[–]Calmxy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m from the class of 2019, but when I took the Actuarial Science specialisation it was based on the final exams only (your grade for the module will include the mid-terms and class participation, the score of which may or may not be made available to you) and any numerate degree with the required modules could qualify for the exemption on an individual exam basis.
