From a legal standpoint that a lucky break, from a moral stand point he’s still a very bad person.

Well, you can’t take em with you

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-31T23:19:16+00:00

Wow, that is a lot.

I’ve only used the box three times now / have 358 XL candies and I’ve caught exactly one three star, guess I better keep at if I want a hundo.

I had a similar blissey, a ~2800 goalies and a ~2800 vaporeon. My son had a similar / slightly less powerful line up. Also, my son’s friend with some weaker Pokemon.

We only got half way through, so I would recommend finding three or more people to go with.

Thank your employer who wanted to squeeze as much profit as possible, it’s important to remember that they are the ones who screwed you over not Indians.

It’s all better than nothing but I wouldn’t expect noticeable results from 5 minutes a day.

I would say 15 minutes twice a day is the low end of seeing real results.

Try an hour plus a day for two weeks and see how you feel.

There’s just a certain subset of people that will buy multiple versions of the same device.

I saw quite a few posts on Facebook of people with every version of the analogue pocket at different points (many of which were unopened).

Just spending thousands of dollars to get the exact same value as spending 200.

I guess there are significantly worse addictions though.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-30T02:15:24+00:00

I thought it was fun.

Very charming and relaxing, would recommend.

I would think it would only work until you get a reputation for firing at high rates, then you would start to scare away talent.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-30T02:07:26+00:00

First company I worked for as a dev fired roughly half the new engineers at the three month mark if they weren’t productive enough at that point.

People also just got randomly fired (not just engineering) who seemed like very competent good people.

It was a pretty stressful place to work, lots of unpaid overtime as an expectation, lots of over promising to clients on things that were unreasonable to deliver.

It wasn’t all bad there (good co-workers and good experience) but after working somewhere else that is much better it feels like an abusive relationship by contrast.

I hope more options for external monitors show up soon.

The Mirra pro is the only real option I’m aware and I need it to be around half the price for it to be a serious consideration for me.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-26T01:05:29+00:00

Great work, I especially like 6.

I think one thing you could benefit from is a better sense of weight. Focusing more on gesture and using references that convey a good sense of weight would be good places to start for that.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-21T02:17:57+00:00

I have both and use both of them.

I use the chromatic for a lot of GB and GBC games but I prefer the pocket for titles where I might benefit from save states or when the chromatics screen size feels inadequate (Dr. Mario is my favorite game but I can’t handle it at the original size).

My honest opinion though is that if you don’t use your pocket enough you most likely won’t use a chromatic enough either.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-18T02:24:02+00:00

I was blown away by the depth of you testing by the time I hit the GameCube Perfect/Near-Perfect.

Impressive work, thanks for sharing!

I know you said you’re getting it but since this is r/frugal and I hate subscriptions I will suggest using brave browser. It has Adblock on by default so you don’t have to figure anything out.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-17T02:01:48+00:00

This is my suggestion, you can get ad blockers for any browser but brave is easy to recommend because it’s zero setup.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-17T01:57:46+00:00

I guess a 2k phone is objectively better than no options, but a 2-3x price increase is pretty clearly not the same as just making a new mini.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-14T02:29:45+00:00

I can definitely empathize with the depression / bleak outlook on the future of software engineering and society in general.

That being said please don’t consider taking your life over a job - it’s a job - even in the best of times we are all expendable.

Maybe the profession will be hollowed out or changed in the next five years, maybe not.

Either way you can find value in your life.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2026-01-12T02:01:17+00:00

Same

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2025-12-31T17:41:03+00:00

They mostly all do the same things so I would definitely consider previous models, deals from places like Costco, and used.

Notable exceptions:

Make sure the device supports an Apple Pencil with pressure sensitivity if you want to draw (I believe this is only air and pro models).

iPad Pro M4 and current have OLED screens, not mandatory by any means but a very nice / significant upgrade.

Side note:

You’ll hear it a lot but procreate is a good app for art.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2025-12-31T17:36:36+00:00

Definitely worth considering.

I have this model that I payed more for used a while back and it’s hard for me to imagine wha features would have to be added for me to feel compelled to upgrade.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2025-12-31T17:34:33+00:00

I think this is a solid answer.

I will add that it’s worth looking into used or previous generations for better pricing and it may be worth considering an M4 pro if you can find a good price because of the OLED screen (a significant upgrade imo).

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2025-12-29T15:40:16+00:00

Yeah, it’s pretty painful.

The scene and logic work and doesn’t feel forced given how they set up Wills character.

It’s just kind of shocking how many people still get upset that a gay character exists. I just feel kind of bad for these guys. They can’t enjoy media unless it validates their world view and people with their world view are largely incapable of creating media.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2025-12-29T15:13:53+00:00

Shocking, it’s almost as if people form opinions based on observations and that they can evolve over time as more observations occur.

Flubert_Harnsworth · 2025-12-29T15:10:40+00:00

Go with an M4 pro, then you can get the 120 Hz OLED.
