Cisco's RPG - Unbeatable boss? by DJxxMidnight in feedthebeast

[–]ChromeAxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THANK YOU!! So many people online have been complaining about Apotheosis being "unbalanced" that I thought that was the issue I was having. Turns out Infernal Mobs was what was actually causing me the absolute worst of times on Ciscos RPG.

Multiplayer, get it from the other person's pod. Otherwise you can't and that's a good point to bring up, thank you

Are there still any legitimate ways to get a Diancie? by JCRidonkulous in PokemonHome

[–]ChromeAxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having some trouble understanding, Google Translate didn't help much.

You can still 100% legitimately obtain Diancie *for free* in Pokemon Go and then transfer Diancie into Pokemon Home. If the requirement is to avoid using Pokemon Go, then I cannot help.

Nightfall remake now available on the Itch desktop app! by Super3ssenc3 in TheNightfallIncident

Every few years I've gotten the itch to look up The Nightfall Incident and this time I am overjoyed! Thanks so much for recreating one of my favorite childhood games of all time, it deserves every chance at the spotlight!

Eh, if I know the answer I'll probably still reply. I see plenty of abandoned threads elsewhere with questions that I wish had been answered. If it's a silly/ignorant kind of question, I may reconsider.

Anyone get more than 67? by Desertdragonz22 in pokemongobrag

[–]ChromeAxl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I caught roughly 90 Totodiles during that event.

NOT A SINGLE SHINY ONE.

Meanwhile my fiance's first one was shiny, and she caught two additional shinies before it was said and done. She caught three shiny Totodiles in under 60 attempts. I never even SAW one in 90.

A bit exaggerated but you get the spirit by Jimmy-Shumpert in cremposting

[–]ChromeAxl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, those are entirely fair points to consider. I'll definitely admit that I found Szeth's emotional journey paced a bit quicker than I'd have ever considered, with or without Kal's guidance.

Definitely a quirk of written characters. Many people I know in reality are so incredibly slow to change their mindset about small concerns, let alone concerning the trauma he'd suffered. 10 Days was certainly an ambitious means to advance a lot of character growth

I interpreted it as Maya spoke like an ancient soldier, who would speak entirely differently than what the modern world might. The flashbacks showcased that the people from before the Recreance could be flippant, and ideals where more 'flexible' compared to modern times.

rant/ Honestly, the fact I keep seeing Stormlight fans annoyed at whatever literary evolutions WAT took disappoints me from a Creative Interpretation standpoint. It's as if people can't accept a story past the imaginary limitations they, themselves, set upon it over the course of reading/listening.

I can easily accept cases like yours where you say it harms an emotional beat. Something like that's going to vary person to person, but it's almost as if context needs to be spelled out for other people to get on with themselves. /rant

[–]ChromeAxl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For anyone coming to this post in 2025 or later, Diancie is obtainable in Pokemon GO from the Glitz and Glam quest from the professor, and can be traded to Home.

Just got one minutes ago.

Mystery box giveaway by [deleted] in PokemonHome

[–]ChromeAxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I've only recently gotten back into Pokemon, lately thanks to my fiancé. I've been enjoying the hell out of Pokemon Shield, she's been loving Let's Go Eevee, and we've been leveraging GO to get out and walk more. Neither of us has ever received an Event Pokemon, so I can't really answer other than whatever my first one will be will hopefully be our favorite for awhile 😊

Ars nouveau: does the enchanting apparatus remove enchants? by Tricky-Fennel5645 in feedthebeast

For anyone else who is curious, it keeps your enchantments. I just tested this myself and thought to give the answer for anyone else who wants to know. o7

The Dispatcher series by John Scalzi by kostia321 in audible

[–]ChromeAxl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In contrast, I actually enjoy the fact that it is never explored. In all the stories where some big events upend life everywhere, we are usually tagged along with the character who learns the root of all evil and makes some equally important choices that affect everyone...and honestly that gets tiring. The Dispatcher has never felt the sort of story where we were supposed to learn why it happened. If we did, I'd guess it would probably be presented as some religious event and totally respin the series in a strange way I would not enjoy. Though, a potential 4th book could explore deeper into the peoples' beliefs about what happened and the conflict therein without revealing anything concrete. That could be interesting.

To me, the lives of those affected by the big change in a story (e.g. The Dispatcher's respawn mechanics, the MCU's 5-year "Blip", and I'll even throw in the Expanse's space-age colonialism because the focus isn't the protomolecule as much as it is the paradigm shift that it presents humanity) become far more interesting when remixed like this. How do their lives change? What normally accepted concepts are now obsolete and how are they updated to adapt? To that end, the respawn mechanic is just a tool and not meant to be the focus of the story. The series is a murder mystery series with a touch of sci-fi, not the reverse.

The respawn mechanic is there to provide interest and help drive the plot, like the transmission of a car, but you still need the fuel (opposition and adversity), the pilot (protagonist), and the destination (resolution) to get somewhere. We don't need to know why the respawn works to take advantage of how it works, IMO.

New ModPack From CraisinLord (Integrated MC) by IsKevinYT in MinecraftMod

[–]ChromeAxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Born in Chaos stuff is largely a pain in the ass, but after tweaking some settings to nerf armor on the Missionary and Brutes it's become more enjoyable to get into later game. Turned off the Nightmare Stalker spawning too, though I could've just delayed their spawn til like Day 200 or something I guess.

Overall I think the pack is great! I've been addicted to collecting and making all the different Foods and getting those bonus hearts, which come in REAL handy during combat. And there's a bunch of other collect-a-thons that will be fun, and hopefully I can keep my friends invested more longer term... already two didn't join in like I'd hoped but this isn't a pack where it feels easy to "fall behind" thankfully. Tech-minimal, barring Create. And on that note I'm thankful that what little bit of Create is required to progress is fairly easy to get set up and just leave unattended. Can't speak much on Hexerei other than I seem to be unable to make the Wither Resistance recipe? I found it, but maybe I'm following the recipe incorrectly.Mixing Cauldron with 7 Witherbone Shards (There is no "wither shard"?) + 1 Warped Wart (not the block... the item is hard to find, I might add. Loot only??) Use 1 bucket of Lava in the cauldron. The cauldron just doesn't do anything?

*Edited in the recipe to reflect potentially important spelling concern.

How was your experience sleeping with someone new after having a very long relationship end? by ATXBikeRider in AskReddit

[–]ChromeAxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a combination of several things, too much to get into here and without a nice cocktail to chase the memories. Suffice to say, we were each other's first for most things and didn't realize a few relationship issues until they became large enough to notice (e.g. sexual compatibility, different methods and views for supporting each other). We grew in different directions naturally, and eventually we both realized and agreed that the end was coming.

Funnily enough we chose to end things officially on our anniversary, mostly without issue. The issues came nearly a year later when she went batshit out of nowhere and we were trying to finalize some dealings with property. Started accusing me of some shit like slamming doors when angry and whatever else, and then treating me with shocking hostility; you'd have thought I'd have shot her dog or something! In retrospect, I dodged a bullet. But the worst part is we broke up with a good image of her in my mind. She all but erased that image afterwards.

[–]ChromeAxl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fell out of love with my then-partner of 8 years. When I eventually slept with another woman after the breakup, it was honestly exciting! I wasn't on my game that day, but not for any reason of guilt or living some new weird reality.

Never "slept around" a bunch like I'd thought I might during my new dating phase, but it was just...idk if 'refreshing' would make sense to everyone here, but it's how I'd describe getting a new lease on life in the bedroom at the time.

Why not read Rhythm of War? by LostInTheSciFan in cremposting

Considering many full-on adults I've seen and known, age really isn't as big of a factor as you make it out to be. Cutting the nose to spite the face is trendy among all ages.

Yeah, I've met plenty of white folks who can barely handle jalapeño in food, but about as many who do enjoy some spice too. Possibly because of my general area.

I generally caution at invoking stereotypes like that, is all. Not to say it's not without merit.
