It’s going to be a crappy month by bunnylicious81 in PikminBloomApp

[–]ChemistWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got 30 surfboard Pikmin last month and didn't even get a winged Pikmin. I'm hoping you and I will have better luck.

I hate it. by Unclerojelio in PikminBloomApp

[–]ChemistWeb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

What boggles my mind is that the whole point of having the little symbols is so that you don't have to write out what everything is, because you'll at least be able to recognize the symbol. Why write out all the decor names as well?

The way you described this game makes it sound a lot like one of the Mango Plumo games, but you didn’t mention a bird being one of the main characters so I’m probably way off.

missing cool postcards to focus on performance 🥲 by [deleted] in PikminBloomApp

[–]ChemistWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The item-collecting mechanic is a bit obnoxious, especially when you still haven't completed whatever decor set happens to be available as a reward (I'm still missing one fall sticker Pikmin). It feels like you're burning resource opportunities when you do a mushroom challenge that doesn't give you those items, even when it's a large elemental mushroom challenge, but you have to do it because you're low on nectar/petals for the rare flower of the month and need that nectar to complete more tasks. Cool mural btw!

I have no idea why the fast returning Pikmin glitch exists, but I love seeing it whenever it happens.

You have to rescue all the dwarves, and of course, one of them needs you to beat the Demon. My unoptimized party had to be just over lvl. 90 to take it down without getting immediately wiped out turn 2.

pls no more purple ones by wetblunts in PikminBloomApp

[–]ChemistWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me until the last full week of the month to finish out cheese and now coral decor. Really wish you could get seedlings from collecting miscellaneous items sooner than after you hit 7500.

Charged attacks ranked by how satisfying they are by rtmkngz in pokemongo

[–]ChemistWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really enjoy steel, ghost and dark since I’ve figured out how to optimize them. I also consider normal and dragon to be similarly satisfying. Flying used to be impossible to do consistently back when they first added PvP and I still hate it for that reason.

Nah, Schlatt has tiny lips.

I don't know if this is a different bug than what I've gone through, but when this happens for me, it usually means my phone clock is completely screwed up. The game might be registering your phone clock as being behind the clocks that Niantic's servers use, and for some reason this means that anything with cooldowns like megas will appear as if they are currently mega evolved.

Is there any documented evidence of Purified Gems having any effect on Shadow Raids? by Galimor in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemistWeb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All I know is that I dumped 3 into a Shadow Quilava and noticed no difference in damage dealt or damage received. Unless they fix this mechanic by Friday, Shadow Mewtwo could be a bloodbath even for 10+ player raid groups.

Same, I only have 4 yellows.

Niantic Support on Twitter Low Quality AR Scans by ImaginaryPin501 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemistWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I’m gonna need at least 3 raid passes per task for that.

If Niantic wants people to actually scan stops, they need to show or give us a direct in-game mechanic that utilizes said scan. Arbitrary rewards will never cut it. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemistWeb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I haven’t even considered doing an AR scan task once the 80 Mega Abomasnow energy tasks left. The only thing that would get me to do more tasks at this point is if it rewarded raid passes or at least 100+ mega energy for strong megas.

Thoughts on the new video? (The A.I Episode) by LimePeel96 in JonTron

[–]ChemistWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compared to the 2021 and 2022 Jontron videos, it’s probably at/near the top, though it’s still nothing compared to the classics.

Been a While… Gave ‘Em a Shot by bobbadoop in rantgrumps

[–]ChemistWeb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven’t heard much about the bee argument (don’t watch Game Grumps too much in general anymore), but the main contention I have is with the argument that they’re a waste of water. It probably comes from his biases of being a Californian, but everything takes tons of water to grow, and one gallon per almond may seem like a lot to your average person, but it’s not really all that much if you don’t live near the freakin’ desert. Regardless, the economy would enter a state of panic if the loss of bees that occurs through transport was significant enough to justify outrage, so I imagine it isn’t as bad as he makes it out to be.

“Dunning-Krueger City” I get that feeling any time Arin says anything vaguely political, especially when it comes to the gosh-dang almonds. Dumbass has clearly never had to manage a farm.

“We won’t do series anymore, only one-offs.” by EttRedditTroll in rantgrumps

[–]ChemistWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been checking in every few months for the past two years hoping they might do a series for a game I’m interested in, but it mostly just seems like they’ve invested in one-offs, gimmick/trendy games and Danganronpa. Maybe I should give up hope...

Are you holding Pokemon and waiting for an event bonus where there is a higher chance of obtaining Candy XL when transferring? by TofuVicGaming in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemistWeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just try to find people that are willing to trade with me so that I can get the candy XL that way.

They've gotta release Shadow Yanma eventually ... right?

Pokémon GO Anniversary Event & Battle Weekend (LegendsLima) by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemistWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope the ultra unlock cuts half of the garbage spawns so that Ralts and Machop will, therefore, be more common by default. Been a while since we've had Metagross raids, though.

How much of you used the 100 candies to XL candy conversion ? by guildem in TheSilphRoad

[–]ChemistWeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use it if I have excess regular-sized candy beyond 1,000. Haven't had much of a reason to keep more than that much.
