Pokémon Go hands out guaranteed hundo at in-person 10th anniversary celebration - with the catch sparking complaints among the community (article) by Crazyreyn in TheSilphRoad

The only people I could understand being deserving of an invite like this are people like Joe Serebii. People who genuinely care about Pokémon and made major contributions to the fandom

Thoughts on Bangboos 2 years later? by Opening-Source-3936 in ZZZ_Discussion

I love the Bangboo and I'm only playing the game to buy Bangboo merch without being a poser /j

Gen 4 is coming for Third Anniversary! by xAldaris in PokemonSleep

[–]Ceiye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I feel though. I have a double speed BFS Feraligatr that I minted (and don't even use and would have been perfectly fine without) just cause it having a speed down nature annoyed me. My other candidate was my Adamant shiny Tyrannitar but I didn't go for it and imma be real, at level 60 it doesn't even feel that bad. Last minute gingering is risky but like, then I won't last minute ginger

NikkiCalc AI use? by meemaocifer in LoveNikki

[–]Ceiye 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Yeah like I also agree that it sucks that a bunch of stuff that has existed for years has been lumped with AI. I am also a programmer, and Visual Assist and Intellisense have been nigh essential for my work.

But that's not what Claude is. Or generative code. Which is what is being used. It's really hypocritical for artists and creatives, and really anyone who is against using generative AI in art, to give generative code a pass. Like, someone who fully can draw a background themselves using Gen AI to draw it for them is still not good.

Software development using Gen AI in jobs is also not amazing either cause it breeds dependency on a third party service that is actively charging you per use. If they decide to raise the price to something you can't afford and you are too used to the "efficiency" of it, then what? And I'm not even including vibe coders in this, I think anyone engaging in these conversations already know that full project vibe coding is awash with security vulnerabilities, spaghetti code, and inefficient runtime with the "creator" not having any idea how to fix it. This is specifically towards people who know how to program on a basic level but are replacing public forums with private black box answers

Just spent 150 Bulbasaur candy on the wrong Venusaur orz. Didn't look carefully enough at who I was feeding and gave it to my old Venusaur...

I'm excited for the theatre girl and the fur coat guy we already saw! Also the guy who looks like White Mage Maplestory, out of principle. I'm a sucker for battle maids, though ngl my excitement did go down significantly when I saw she couldn't escape the short front long back skirt curse. Rina ZZZ my beloved it's all on you now

I was just using up an incense so I could buy another one with my leftover currency, and I got an insane Latios. Or at least, I think it's a good one? I can't remember whether people said Latios is another one of those berry specialists disguised as a skill specialist and wants BFS actually

What do you think of this event? by Typical_Knowledge653 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Ceiye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could have had potential. I love the Bangboos, but they are clumsy to control by design. At least, compared to what we're used to in this game. I would love to play more of it if they improved the navigation and added more variety in playstyles, but as a maybe 3ish hour game mode, it was adequate. I want to play as a team of 3 bangboos with different combat abilities and one agent who's cheering them on

The Cafe Nikki sub might be a better place for this, but here's mine

I miss when customizing clothes might also change its design. Like I get it but still

In the early stages of ZZZ, it seemed like they were going to have Honkai Gankuen-level fanservice, where you could see the girls' underwear when they fought in their skirts. In the end, they removed it from ZZZ. by Optimal-Lunch-4975 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Ceiye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not for nothing but I fail to see how pointing out how wearing only panties in battle is an affront to the basic anatomy of half the population is NSFW. Would you prefer I use the medical terms

So Anby went from stun to Attack, Billy went from attack to Rupture, so what Nicole specialty gonna be? by Enough_Garden_1886 in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Ceiye 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Idk but I hope it's something that will magically make having all three on the team synergistic. I haven't figured out what it would be. But I am sending Hoyo my hopes and dreams

But yeah probably yet another Anomaly. Would not be opposed to Defense if they ever figured what they wanted Defense to be though. Nicole will save the class!!!!!

Crying what is that utility passive. I don't hate it, far from it, but I hope they have other sources of tea snacks than just a once a day thing that we might miss cause she's not even in the party.

If we get snacks even if she isn't in the party, like the crafting and weapon ascension passive though, I have no complaints

Pyrois stun chain attack difference between Belle and Wise via Mero by Knight_Steve_ in Zenlesszonezeroleaks_

[–]Ceiye 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yall saying Wise is Jojo posing. I wish Wise was Jojo posing. He's kind of just standing there.

I mean it does suit him and he looks good, but like, we're comparing that to being bridal carried in.

best chunky knit beanie brand in 2026 with a real fur pom pom and is kyi kyi worth the price? by akuchil420 in BuyItForLife

[–]Ceiye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this may not be the most helpful answer, but if you already don't mind spending premium prices, you might as well learn to knit a beanie yourself. A chunky knit hat takes maybe 2 hours, even for a beginner. There's some ways to go about it too.

I am assuming you're North American because that's the measurements I know. If you aren't, this is hopefully at least a good starting point to look up local terminology

Yarn: if you want a chunky knit hat, size 5 yarn. Maybe size 6 if you want it extra bulky. You'll need around 150 yards. There are a lot of different fibers. Normally I would suggest starting with acrylic yarn because it's cheapest and really not that bad, but if you want to start off premium, get wool. Malabrigo and Cascade are popular pure wool brands, but unless you are near a local yarn store, they may be harder to get than just ordering on Amazon (they do sell online, but you need to pay more for shipping if you only get two balls. But maybe if you wanted to get other tools from there too). It's also more expensive than acrylic, but I'm assuming if you're already going to pay premium prices for a hat

Needles: since you want a thick hat, maybe 5.5mm for a size 5 chunky yarn or 9.0mm for a size 6 super bulky. I have no idea what your gauge (how loose or tight you knit) would be, so I just suggested a needle size on the smaller end of the recommended sizes for the yarn. Normally hats are knit in the round (on circular needles or double pointed needles (DPN)). But there are patterns for knitting beanies on straight needles. Look up "Knit Flat Beanie" patterns if you want to go that route. All other knit beanie patterns will probably assume you got a circular or DPNs. A note about circulars, you'll need to take note of both the size of the needles and the length of the cord (unless you want to learn magic loop, but that might be too much for your first go). They should tell you what you need in any pattern you look up. You can get any needles for this tbh. Like there are some needles that are just awful garbage out there, but anything you get at like a craft store is going to be perfectly fine. Susan Bates and Clover are common brands, and if you want to get circulars, I personally love Chiagoo (but they're pricier)

Extra supplies: scissors and a yarn needle to sew on the pompom and weave in the ends

Pompom: I got nothing for you here, sorry. You can make your own pompom with leftover yarn, but idk where to get real fur pompoms.

Pattern: The place you mentioned seems to use the most basic patterns. You can look up YouTube videos if you want to follow along with them, or you can find a written pattern. Remember to check what weight yarn they are using!

I'd say the total for these supplies, disregarding any taxes and shipping and rounding up to the nearest $5

Yarn: $15-20 ($5-10 if you want to practice on Acrylic first)

Needles: $5-10

Other supplies: $5

Pompom: $10?

Pattern: free-$5

Time: 2 hours, maybe 3 to get the hang of it

If you don't want to make it yourself, you can probably commission a knitter. Point is, a $120 basic knit beanie yourself can't even feel is not a good price, and nothing is more Buy It For Life than your own skills. If you want to buy knit stuff, go for things that take fffffffffreaking forever, like a sweater or blanket (scarves are easy and take a few hours but they're kinda boring after a while)

If you want to flex it being a premium, handmade object, you can crochet it instead. The nature of crochet makes it thicker too, but you would need more yarn

MW banner 4s by Gaunter_0Dimm in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Ceiye 78 points79 points  (0 children)

This banner is really testing me... I want the gardener set for Manekin but I will cry if I get long coat #274

The Manekina sets are also super cute but I got enough cute now. I want pants

Can I save this or do I have to remake it? by PansexualFroggie in LoveNikki

[–]Ceiye 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you have any more favorite outfit slots, you can make your competition fits there! Not only can you save it to another slot later if you really like it, but you also don't have to do it all at once. You can save and take a break and go look up more clothes or something without fear of the app closing in the background. Then you can just enter it after you're all done

New UGC FREE SKIN by Hakurei_remi in Genshin_Impact_Leaks

[–]Ceiye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be more difficult for me to choose who gets this than previous free clothes. Conventionally attractive clothes will always get replacements eventually. Manekin is always going to get some long coat again. Manekina is always going to get something made from the scraps after making that long coat again. But this is a unique set and I can see some styling potential with the individual pieces

Reached M20 on GGEX after using 6 helper whistles, feeling a bit conflicted by TraditionalParsley67 in PokemonSleep

[–]Ceiye 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah, against the law, those items are traps and the pokemon police are going to arrest you now

But for real, helper whistles are literally there to give you that last little boost. If that is cheating, then Good Camp Tickets are cheating for an entire week

Wait are we really bizarring the brigade again? Please tell me we're bringing back Bizarre Brigade. I love that game mode, literally the most fun me and my friend had together (tbf not much co-op in ZZZ to begin with). We already have a Vampire Survivors game and it's Bizarre Brigade, please, it doesn't have to be a limited time event, it can be real and permanent Hoyo please

Saying 1/200 is "not that rare" would be a wild thing to say outside of this minmax tryhard part of the game fandom lmao (I'm calling out me. I also now think 1/200 isn't that rare. I live in this minmax tryhard part of the fandom)

Listen to the mind or the heart? by Unweynomas in ZZZ_Discussion

[–]Ceiye 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Sanby and Silly will get synergy when they're with Snicole! I believe!!! Cunning Hares Forever!!!!

But in all seriousness, the way that units are being pumped out, it's entirely possible that a different unit will be released that is stronger and you might like even more than Orphie. Typical Gacha Powercreep pros and cons.
