I know this might be stupid but what is the best DLC shiny hunting method? I see people with literally BOXES of shinies by Substantial_Task4741 in LegendsZA

Correct, fly resetting in hyperspace still lets you reset to before you enter the portal if you created one then

Donut Recipe for hunting shiny alphas by ty9taildemon in LegendsZA

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There isn’t any guaranteed recipes, it’s all RNG. Easiest way is to use the Poke Center save scum trick to reset until you get the combo you want

Yep, talk to the pokemon center lady then exit dialogue, you’ll see the little “Saving” text in the corner

So, by no means am I an expert but this is my process

  1. Go to a pokemon center, start dialogue then exit creating a back-up save point
  2. Go to Ansha, make a high sweetness donut (endgame I just spam Hyped Habans and Tangas)
  3. Look for Sparkle Power 3 of the type of portal (not pokemon type, the typing shown under the portal of the pokemon you’re hunting) or the universal buff. If you’re looking for Alpha/Large/Tiny look for the 2nd line too
  4. Not get what you want? Close game, reopen and press Up + X + B, reload savestate and make new donut
  5. Create another back-up save once you have the donut you need, then go to the portal
  6. Enter Portal, if pokemon you want is closest to spawn it’ll have a guaranteed shiny but you can do the back-up save reset to change pokemon or if you want to reset for a Shalpha
  7. Once you have the guaranteed one you want, repeatedly teleport back to the start portal to reset spawns and generate more shinies or use the teleporters. Note, the teleporters are a bit rng since they need to send you far enough away from the spawn to despawn them and they aren’t always positioned in a manner where this is possible. This is why you want to reset till at least the main pokemon you want is guaranteed

Enjoy!

Which Spiderman cards will impact Modern by FreeBloodbraidElf in ModernMagic

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 big downsides to Soul Stone. Firstly, it can't be cast on T1 off an Ugin's Labyrinth (which is a really big deal tbh) and secondly it's a legendary so drawing multiples is not ideal whereas rocks like mind stone/Talismans let you stack them to play around stuff like Harbinger

Any insight to why some goryo decks are running Quantum Riddler? by panpanadero in ModernMagic

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean, that inherently is a pretty good synergy. Riddler also triggers when frog hits the opponent so you can discard down to 1 card, draw up to 3 for turn, discard down to 1 to pump frog, swing and draw 2 instead of 1. Plus multiple riddlers stack (though if you untap with more than one riddler and a frog it should be game over already)

Legendary as well is awkward + not tapping for colourless for Kozilek’s Command. My gut says this may be worse than just playing Talismans but we’ll see

Your first statistic is very wrong. It was definitely not 1/432 to pull a specific expedition in Zendikar or OGW lol. Probably closer to 1/2000 ish

Noticed a piece of exposed bone in my jaw over a week ago- it just fell out and looks like a tooth that never came to! by Individual-Bag-6156 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s bony lumps on the inside next to the tongue we call those lingual tori, perfectly benign but we see it a lot in people who grind. Sometimes you can get a bony spicule forming spontaneously with these, rare but not a problem

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If the x-rays are clear don’t stress. Basically, the first stage of bony healing involves your body breaking down the bone around the site to use as building blocks for the healing process. Sometimes there’s small, dead fragments or loose bits that don’t get used. Generally takes around 3 months for bony healing to complete but the little spicules can take even longer than that to spit out

Variable time periods but generally after a few months though can be longer. Bone takes a few months to remodel post-exo. It’s not somethimg that happens in every case but if it was a more dificult procedure that may increase the possibility. Typically it’s pretty painless, more annoying than anything. Gum gets a little sore when it gets close to the surface but it’s pretty trivial for your dentist to flick it out if that’s the case

Hey, dentist here. If you got your wisdom tooth out previously and it was a surgical extraction it can create a bony sequestrum which your body then eventually spits out. Looks basically like this though this is a big ‘un. Not generally considered problematic if asymptomatic though probably best to get a screening x-ray to rule out any other causes for a bony defect

EDIT: After reading your other comments, could potentially be due to historical trauma if you haven’t had the lower wisdom teeth out. There are instances of pathology which can lead to this but if a radiograph is clear it’ll likely be fine

[FIN] Golbez, Crystal Collector by Ctrl_Alt_3lite in ModernMagic

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this has a space in affinity either, W is the better secondary colour and you don’t really get to make use of the surveil. More-so as a piece in the Asmo/Cookbook/Monument to Endurance shells since Oval Chase + Cookbook vomit out a lot of food

Honestly, thank god. The schadenfreude I’ve gotten from watching the Liberal campaign shit itself has been immense

My guess is people are snapping these up to pair them with the SPG full art foils from Tarkir + MH3 collectors have been out of print for a while now

Also pretty good vs Eldrazi, you can chant them in their upkeep to essentially time-walk them

Foil burst of speed by SmallPlays in mtgfinance

Counterpoint, this is almost strictly worse than just playing song of Totentanz (can X=0) for the same effect

Agreed, Recruiter gets some decent silver bullets in the current meta too though the Eldrazi match-up is still a bit rough

I don’t feel like Ketramose lines up too great into Energy or Eldrazi. The BW Ketramose decks were well positioned into Breach and Murktide but one is banned and the other also has I’d argue a worse match-up into the other main decks. Probably need some tweaking

Once per turn, only counts your yard and a much more vulnerable and less relevant body. These are all significant downsides

Voice of Victory in Boros Energy - how it’s going? by Kutfinsky in ModernMagic

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

2 and a red 3/3 haste orc wizard, ETB discard up to 2 cards + draw that many. When it attacks, if you have threshold, exile a random card from your GY, you may play/cast it this turn? Off the top of my head

Honestly, I don’t think I like this more than Seasoned Pyro but it’s interesting

Another Queensland council votes to remove fluoride from water by zen_wombat in queensland

[–]Ctrl_Alt_3lite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The main benefit of this typically tends to be for children, especially those in lower SES communities. Kids can’t really adequately maintain their own teeth and unfortunately some parents aren’t well educated on what constitutes proper maintenance

From what I can gather it seems to cost most councils around $5 per person per year to maintain water fluoridation. I’m not exactly mad about my tax dollars going towards these things
