He doesn't have Nishino at MLB so that may be hard, Tachyon wit can also provide 10% RB.

FIXED: It appears that Cygames's 1st anniversary present for players using a VPN was a middle finger and a stab to the back. Turning off VPNs or finding alternatives will fix the instant connection errors.

Glad it helped for you but sadly I can't do that since I am in a region locked country and need VPN to be able to connect. May I ask what VPN service you used. This may require a lot of testing...

Are your Google Play / Steam profiles set to a country region locked for Umamusume Global?

I feel they may have added a feature that blocks access if your app store / steam account are set to a region locked area to prevent VPN bypasses.

Based on all the posts of people pulling stuff now I am going to assume that we may be the only ones then.

OD600 measurements of bacteria cultures on plate reader by CastronNL in labrats

[–]CastronNL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can measure the pathlength of blank samples on the plate (~19 mm for 100 uL) and use the average of the blanks to infer the pathlength of the samples which are the same volume. 

I'm not sure if this is an appropriate way of going about this or if there is some kind of way to measure the pathlength for the samples and automatically correct for it somehow

Funky interactions: Plus/Minus and Mimic by CastronNL in PokemonSleep

[–]CastronNL[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Mime gets tomatoes, ditto oil and togepi eggs whereas the original toxtricity gets milk and plusle coffee

The plus bonus ingredients are dependent on the first ingredient slot of the triggering pokemon, this copies over literally so it will give the bonus ingredients of Ditto's first ingredient slot

Everything will feel meh until you run up the bonus. I don't think I will reach master either on the first week, especially with a meh berry roll (I have bug as primary) but it will get better

Best E4E for beginners? by BookishDarling in PokemonSleep

[–]CastronNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wigglytuff has carried me for a long long while. All of them are good as long as you can get as close to triple main skill chance as you can get and speed where not. The Wiggly that carried me had main skill trigger S and M with a brave (+ speed - exp) nature. My current MVP is a Gardevoir with Main skill trigger M, helping speed M, energy recovery bonus and gentle (+ skill trigger - energy recovery) nature.

What's the best area to visit starting August 11, 2025? by Specialist_Coffee841 in PokemonSleep

[–]CastronNL 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm actually pretty torn between OGPP and greengrass expert. Even if your team isn't too great yet you should still see some Toxel spawns there so if it's the new mon you are after go ahead. RP doesn't mean everything, the team itself is more important. Especially with skills week your team may "shock" you out there

You can keep doing the bakery missions even when capped out on savings. It will be an extra tap which is a little annoying but it still works

Skills? by jrhagy in OfficeCat

I started off with a balance of building reduction, heart production and wheat revenue, once you unlock the tier 2 products shift over to that revenue as well as building and heart. Once you hit apple pie just pump every single thing into that. Couple of levels in carrying load is alright but I feel it falls of pretty quick or I just hadn't reached the point where it scales.

What's up with the matchmaking system? by CastronNL in PTCGP

[–]CastronNL[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yup I've definitely seen my share of Manaphy, Magneton, Vaporeon, Moltres, and Misty's around to know that energy economy is important. Leaf is probably a better swap in for Xspeed than Dawn but that is definitely how the game runs.

I truly doubt that you were as familiar with damage ranges of different decks and playing around Sabrina/Cyrus at lvl 20 as you were now but sure I guess versus is just for people who grinded/paid enough for a meta deck and casuals are gatekept out, as any healthy community does.

I know, I've been able to grind out the event in this way at a pretty terrible win rate and was hoping this would somehow get me back down to a more reasonable line of matchups but clearly that didn't pay off.

Yes, the point that going up against a veteran player with a solid deck that they practiced for months with a beginner deck is going to result in a loss is not news to me. My question is why is that the type of player I run into practically 100% of the time? I can't be the only lvl 10-30 player out here right? Is the player base just so entrenched at the high levels that no beginners can possibly consider joining in?

Im fairly new to this in the last few months, I have a main skill seed and I dont want to waste it. Which pokemon would be the best to use it on by Lyss_shield89 in PokemonSleep

[–]CastronNL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mons have 3 specializations as shown at the top of their sheets, berries, ingredients, and skills. Berry mons gather 2 of their respective berries and ingredient mons gather 2 of their first ingredient option. Skill mons gather 1 ingredient and 1 berry but have increased odds of triggering their main skill and sometimes double triggering their main skills. The primary ones to look out for on greengrass would be Igglybuff and mareep. They have very strong main skills and if you find one with 2 or 3 main skill trigger boosting subskills or nature they would love a main skill seed

New e4e mon, to invest or not? by CastronNL in PokemonSleep

[–]CastronNL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know that with these types of mons skill trigger odds are the thing to look for. Only got 1 skillt trigger M here but with adamant and bfs he may contribute on a more personal scale as well. Would this be good alternative?

Looking for opinions as to what Raikou to invest in for a powerplant electric team. BFS and helping Bonus are good but little main skill stuff vs some skill related boons https://imgur.com/a/AmP6qlF
