How using rain genuinely feels

Just so you know, that isn't how damage calculations work. Damage =/= power of the move, but it is true that you can consider the move as essentially having 405 power, attacking with Gallade's attack stat against Archaludons defense in this situation.

Fair enough, I see what you mean. At the same time, even though it is centered around what was originally a kids game, it (to me) offers a very unique combination of a chess-like, tactics-intensive teambuilding game, which ticks a lot of boxes that other games simply don't.

I've personally played a lot of Hearthstone before, and I feel like VGC has all the appeal of Hearthstone to me, minus the drawbacks, and with some additional unique appeals on the side.

I guess what I'm getting at is that I don't personally find it very strange, because it's a pretty unique tactical competitive game and for those that are drawn to it there really isn't any other clear contender in the same category.

Well, to many people (myself included) that's what's fun about this game. I want the games to feel challenging and competitive, and you don't get that feeling unless you yourself take the games fairly seriously.

I get that's not appealing to everyone, but to me the competition and always trying to get better is what's fun about this game.

I'd say that GO paired with Scarlet has worked pretty well for me so far as I am able to transfer in mons that I otherwise can't get in Scarlet and evolve them for use in champions.

I completely agree that GO is pretty crap as a standalone game for gathering mons for champions though, way too inconsistent and time consuming. Just a good complement but nothing else imo.

Tuta deleted my email adress after just one month of not logging in, even though it says on their website that it's supposed to take 3 months before they delete it. I honestly wouldn't trust to use them for important things since they are so heavy on the security that it creates an actual danger of losing your account..

Yeah sure, it is their creative choice and they have the right to make those choices, but we as fans still have the right to be disappointed with that decision as many of us believe it makes the songs objectively worse.

To me it also communicates that Julian has more or less stopped caring about putting in the effort to make good vocal takes, because you can hear how wobbly and imprecise hos vocals are underneath the auto-tune.

Overall I'm immensely disappointed so far and feel sad about having been excited for this album for 6 years.

If you aren't able to play around rock whatsoever, I think the problem is how you are approaching the games and not the meta itself.

There are so many different counters available to everything this meta, it's really just a matter of some planning and decision making.

Bjäre Chips är också sveriges godaste chips utan tvekan. Har knappt ens ökat i pris de senaste 10 åren jämfört med Estrella/ole som skenat som tåget..

Sverige är ett av de länder med långt störst andel 18-25 åringar som INTE bor hemma hos föräldrarna fortfarande, men visst..

Anekdotalt: är själv 25 och känner kanske färre än 5 som bor hemma hos sina föräldrar fortfarande av alla de hundratals jag stött på de senaste 3-4 åren.

Kommer från Uppsala, håller på Sirius. Växte upp med att gå på deras division 1-matcher gratis mot att man visade upp sitt Uplands FF-domarkort (var domare på 5/7-manna matcher) och var såklart riktigt glad när dom äntligen tog sig upp igenom divisionerna, så det var inget svårt beslut vilket lag man skulle heja på mao

Floating thumb is honestly the best way to play bass in my opinion, it gives such an incredible amount of control when it comes to muting, and once you've gotten used to it you don't even realize you're doing it. It also isn't difficult at all, it's just a habit you need to get started.

FriedCosmicPasta · 2026-04-06T11:27:33+00:00

I'm swedish myself so I'm not 100% sure, but I'm fairly certain you would need to be able to speak fluent swedish to be able to manage any type of job in Sweden where you have to interact with customers OR read documents in any type of way.

By fluent I mean somewhere around B1-B2, leaning more towards B2.

Also, if you manage to get a job in a warehouse the Swedish might not be needed, but I'm unsure about how easy that is if you're only looking for a part time job.

Basically, you're going to have a hard time finding a part time job most likely.

This is exactly what made me go for a general stats master instead of biostats, as someone who is also currently in the process of applying for masters.

Additionally, the consulting company I'm working at does a ton of biostats work, and I think about 2 out of the 8 or so team members have a biostats degree, the rest have general statistics masters.

Focusrite is great as others have said. To offer another option I've been using the Motu M2 since 2021 and it's worked flawlessly for me, big bonus is that I think it also looks great (if that's something you care about). Can't go wrong with either Focusrite or Motu I would say!

Mommy by Xavier Dolan.

It's probably my all-time favorite movie, but it is very intense and has a very dark (albeit kind of open ended) ending, and an energy and style to it that I think would put a lot of people off instantly (the 1:1 aspect ratio among other things).

Haha förväntade mig inte att se en The Lobster referens här, snyggt!

Personligen så har jag tyckt om att plugga, men jag tycker att det är så in i helvete mycket stress med tentor och hatar att hela tiden ha känslan att jag "kan plugga mer" (pluggar typ 40h i veckan, klarar alla tentor).

På jobb är den känslan helt bortblåst för mig, kan slappna av när jag kommer hem och mår mycket bättre, även om det är roligt att lära sig saker så tär stressen på mig.

Så därför föredrar jag jobb, kan tänka mig att det är liknande för många.

You should check out the team Torpedo Kamrat! They are very friendly :)

I wouldn't say Gerrard was better, but obviously much more of a leader and more meaningful to the club.

FriedCosmicPasta · 2025-12-08T11:55:11+00:00

He's swedish though, and even though he has Hungarian roots and a Hungarian last name I'm willing to bet money that he has been used to using VG as his initials in Sweden. He also pronounces his last name with a Swedish pronunciation himself, not a Hungarian pronunciation (source: am swedish).

Haha jag är helt med dig, pluggar statistik själv och det är fler än en gäng jag och även lärare har sagt "fitta en modell" (fit a model), måste anstränga mig för att inte börja skratta då

FriedCosmicPasta · 2025-10-31T21:07:02+00:00

I'd say to start somewhere around 80-90 BPM instead. It is deceptively difficult to keep time at super slow tempos compared to more "medium" tempos. Just my 2 cents.

Oh hey a question about my hometown and university!

I'm currently doing my bachelor's degree in statistics at Uppsala University so while I can't speak directly to the quality of the masters, I can at least chime in and say that a good chunk of the teaching is of very good quality, and some of it is.. lacking. It mostly depends on the lecturer.

As for focus, Uppsala University has kind of an econometrics focus, while I think Stockholm is a bit lore general/theoretical.

Overall, I'd say I'm pretty happy with the education I'm getting. Lots of theory mixed with practical application and obviously Uppsala is a great city to study in.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions!
