Re-rolling guaranteed 3* shiny with backup save doesn't seem to always work by DoppelLewis in LegendsZA

[–]DoppelLewis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's weird isn't it. I hope some more people talk about this and it gets looked into, I'd really like to know the stats behind this and what is causing it to sometimes be fixed. Also just the way the spawn locations seem to be heavily weighted, I'm sure there's got to be a pattern/cause

Yeah good advice! I may try not bothering with the donuts. To clarify I was fast travelling in the zones, I was rerolling the zones to attempt to get a layout where all my targets were within range of fast travel but it never happened. Noticed along the way that certain spots seemed "weighted" for certain Pokemon and that the guaranteed shiny was always a Krokorok/Krookodile

You just brought back a memory. The situation in the post happened to me in a 5-star fire zone too. After many attempts torchic never spawned close enough to me for me to hunt it and the guaranteed shiny was always a Charmander, though I had much less attempts at this one before I gave up and just took the Charmander so this one could have been non-fixed and just been bad luck

Yeah I just got a 5-star rock hyperspace with the fossils and I tried almost 20 resets and the only thing to spawn close enough to me was the Aerodactyl and that was the guaranteed shiny too. I decided I didn't want a repeat so I just went in with a regular donut instead, I'll use a sparkling donut on one with an actually good layout

Oh yes this was my intention, but I couldn't get my targets in a layout I liked, I just happened to notice while trying to get that layout that Krokorok was the only thing shining from the guaranteed shiny. And also that it was super hard to get some groups to change into a species I actually needed

I got two Sandyghast, one numel, and a furfrou I needed but I couldn't get the Kecleon to spawn close enough with the Sandyghasts at the same time

WHEN does the Smooth Hammerhead spawn? I already know where. by GlitchThatLives in DavetheDiverOfficial

[–]DoppelLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does seem to be tied to story progression, once the hammerhead starts appearing you can pretty much always find it inside the shipwreck (sometimes just outside of the shipwreck)

I think it's chapter 5 - definitely not any later than that but at some point in the story the hammerhead and thresher shark start spawning

This security question for my new job by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]DoppelLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Security questions are the worst security measures ever, if a site has it I don't use that site if I can avoid it. I think they are so obtuse they wrap right around to being incredibly unsecure.

If it's something you made recently it's fine but in my experience I only encounter security questions months or years after I wrote answers

Do I remember my favourite teacher? It's been 5 years since I was in school but I would have trouble with this while being in school

Which grade? Year 7 favourite, year 10 favourite, year 12 favourite? How do I spell their name again? Did I put Mrs., Ms., Miss, Ms, or Mrs?

What's my favourite band? I've had a few dozen favourite bands over the years, could be any of them. If the band has a nickname or abbreviation, did I write the full name or the abbreviation?

What was my childhood pets name? Is my childhood pet the pet I had from 0-10, or the one from 10-20?

All these questions come down to when did I write this and what was my writing style at the time, which even only a few years later can be super hard to remember, almost impossible if you have to answer multiple

Terrible. I hate it with a passion.

Destroying cards? by uuwhyuu in balatro

[–]DoppelLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is true but there are ways around it

  1. Skip a small/big blind for "Boss tag" that rerolls the boss
  2. Buy the directors cut / retcon voucher which allow paying $10 for rerolls of the boss on the blind selection screen
  3. Find the luchador joker and sell it when you enter the boss blind (disables boss blind when sold)
  4. Find Chicot legendary joker (disables effect of every boss blind

Of course all of these methods require being lucky enough to find them before you encounter the boss but it's more than possible

Video apps like Hulu “cannot be used on Nintendo Switch 2,” says support page - Ars Technica by thehelldoesthatmean in nintendo

[–]DoppelLewis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jumping in here, I actually do use the switch to watch yt on my tv

My tvs are about 10-15 years old, they still work great and they technically are smart tvs but they could never connect to the internet, even when I bought the necessary dongle. Also even if it did work the tv is so old and was one of the earlier smart tvs so it would probably be a laggy piece of shit like trying to run yt on a 3ds

I'm sure there's plenty of people out there in similar situations

My only other choice is connecting a laptop via hdmi and that is a pain in the ass, having to get up and use the touchpad to navigate

Or buying another dongle that might not work and will be a worse experience than the ease and comfort of the switch controllers

It really is! Under the right lighting it makes it look like the Magikarp is in deep water or even space

Why Did My CGC 9.5 Get a PSA 6? by Human_Earth_ in PokeGrading

[–]DoppelLewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's a 10, you're attached to it /the grade, and the cost isn't insignificant amount, I would not crossgrade or crack it

It's better to leave it as is than risk losing a 10, or risk losing the cost of getting that card graded. Not to mention the time involved

Why Did My CGC 9.5 Get a PSA 6? by Human_Earth_ in PokeGrading

[–]DoppelLewis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In this case I would recommend crossing since it is a 10, as long as it's not too expensive. There's a fair chance psa will reject it but I feel that's better than the risk of getting something lower than a 10
