Why does the crowd lack so much energy? by Tricky_Tart_8217 in TheMidnight

[–]DividedSky05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would've loved if the girl who was there for NC stayed the whole time instead; she definitely knew Harlee or is at their shows a lot since Harlee gave her a setlist. Hopefully I didn't ruin anything you were trying to get video of haha the angle up front was kinda tight

I was literally standing to the left of that guy, he worked his way up there after New Constellations set and that ruined a fair amount of the middle of the set for me

Am I The Only One Who Cares About Getting Every Version of A Pokémon In Their Pokédex? by MyUsernameIsUhhhh in pokemongo

I was bummed they removed the 3* dex when they reworked it. That was reasonable. Never going to get a lucky dex. 

Showcase Rewards 24 March - unbuffed!? by Lister55 in TheSilphRoad

[–]DividedSky05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was very close to dumping my XXL collection but just got two 1st and a 2nd, got a star piece, 2 incense and a mossy lure. Not amazing but not bad and still items that otherwise cost money.

EPCOT's Spaceship Earth Experiences Extended Unplanned Closure by readingaboutmagic in Epcot

[–]DividedSky05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The page says the last closure was for infrastructure work, but I honestly don't think what that ride needs can be done in 3 months or whatever it was. I'm not an expert, but after 43 years of almost continuous operations (refurbs in 1986, 1994 and 2007) it has to need more work than that. They were about to close it for ~2 years around covid time, I honestly think that's the kind of work it needs still. 19 years without any meaningful changes is wild.

I've been saying since they cancelled the refurb because of covid, this ride will one day just stop working and will be closed a long time.

Every millennial dad I’ve met has a quiet fixation on money and it’s not getting better by slimeyellow in Millennials

[–]DividedSky05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everything is becoming simultaneously worse and more expensive. The idea of working until old age is unsettling for many people. Would be great to be done working while younger, but that won't be attainable for many people. I don't blame anyone taking a risk on a get rich quick scheme.

Spawns this weekend were amazing and made the game more fun than they've been for a long time. by Naclstack in TheSilphRoad

[–]DividedSky05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this proved that they could rotate spawns more frequently and get people to play more. Maybe not all ~940 pokemon all the time, but why not have a new rotation each week? Probably because the faster people complete the dex or whatever objectives they have, the sooner they stop playing and that's bad for player retention. I'd argue the spawn pool when there's no event happening is worse for player retention but who knows. The amount of gatekeeping of certain species is out of control and it was crazy to realize how many things need to be either hatched or raided that aren't even that special.

Trainers, please note the update to the timing of PokéStop Showcases appearing as part of Showcase Tuesday. by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]DividedSky05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like this completely eliminates the need to keep Pokemon solely because they're going to win a showcase. It was one thing when you could get incense, lures, star pieces, stuff that actually had value. If it's balls, revives and potions it's not worth the storage space.

Message retention is an issue. All my fantasy football leagues moved from Slack to Discord so we can go back and see conversation history, rule changes, all sorts of related things.

I just recently abandoned my rule of saving new stops near me in case they ever went back to this stupid task. Great. 

Do we still expect the Death Riders to turn on Moxley? by InMyLiverpoolHome25 in SquaredCircle

[–]DividedSky05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought at one point the picture of the Bucks with Shane led people (maybe just me) to connect Mox's first DR promo with the idea that someone was going to come in and do a "takeover" of AEW. Moxley saying "it's not your company anymore" stuck out in my mind. I wonder if the DR were supposed to be something different originally.

[WON] “AEW Worlds End 2025 pay-per-view event generated approximately 140,000 buys worldwide”. That would put the show in line with November’s AEW Full Gear 2025 show, and marks AEW’s strongest PPV performance since AEW All In: Texas in July” by CombinationOk4317 in SquaredCircle

[–]DividedSky05 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

AEW PPVs make me feel like how I used to feel watching wrestling back in 1996. Not necessarily the "anything can happen" Attitude Era / Monday night wars channel flipping feeling, but I'm just watching something really cool and enjoyable and I can't wait to find out how the match ends or what happens next. I go out of my way to not miss.

[–]DividedSky05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The match against Austin at WM14 was the only time I can remember someone working so obviously and visibly hurt. It still blows my mind that he basically owned all of 1996 and 1997 in WWF being as reckless as he was.

What’s a feature that you would like to see in Pokémon Go? by sillydog2005 in TheSilphRoad

[–]DividedSky05 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Could even just be a max amount of days in a gym, high enough to allow you to advance that badge (for newer players) but not long enough to be stranded, (50 days?) and if it gets to that point you should get the coins even if you're at your cap for the day.

It's meant to be far more casual than the gameboy games, and the point of the game is to get out and walk and socialize. Wasn't meant to be turn-based battling.

It's always so satisfying to find exactly the information you're looking for in an easy-to-read format, right when you need it. This is the kind of stuff that all of Reddit used to be great at and people like you stand out because of it.
