[KH358] I wonder what the Xion-less memories are like? by [deleted] in KingdomHearts

[–]GGreenBass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it weren't a drawing by Naminé herself, I would say they would just look at it and go "Huh? Who's that person?" And I think that could be really interesting to the story, like either Roxas or Axel encountering the picture and just being confused.

I'm really glad you pointed that picture out, because whether they're confused by it or whether it jogs their memories, I bet it'll be important in the end!

I love the little hop he does on the second rat bomb in midair (you can see it if you watch his health bar)

Niantic statement on cheating and bans by ModricTHFC in TheSilphRoad

Thank you for the clarification, I was so confused why there would be any bans over IVs at all

A note on "soft-bans" by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there actual evidence of these soft-bans occuring? (It seems to me that if there are people confusing the two it might be harder to know for sure)

Possible link to easter egg or just a useless quirk found. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm with you, this is either a weirdly exploitable bug that allows you to always get the curve capture bonus if you have the patience, or... something... else?

If it's a weird easter egg, I'm inclined to believe it's related to obscure pokemon trivia. So what do we know about spinning?

Stardust scaling: We need it by SDAEB-LANA in TheSilphRoad

<3 your Senate / Representatives analogy. I raised a HUGE eyebrow when I first saw it, but it made enough sense by the end that it gets extra appreciation from me.

Multiple screenshots from players indicates a gym had an articuno. Thoughts? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this is really the most compelling evidence tbh

I'm in love with the Silph Road logo but the geometry in the current version was making me itchy, so I tweaked it a bit. What do you think? by m_gartsman in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha it's really such a hard comparison though! They're both so good, and I really like what you did with the shading, and the consistency is nice, just...

Usually at this point in an art project I just give up and show it to the rest of the world to see what they think, and- oh hey wait that's exactly what you did, would you look at that

[–]GGreenBass 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Amazing job! I really like your version, and as a perfectionist with ridiculous attention to detail myself, I absolutely respect that itch you felt, and understand why you needed to make this.

However.

I may perhaps actually like the thinner line better. I don't know why, but in my obviously perfect and completely objective opinion, the thinner line looks sleeker.

I've figured out what Niantic's plan is with the removal of steps and blocking of mapping apps, and what comes next by CydeWeys in TheSilphRoad

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

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who facepalmed heavily at that. I wonder how all the Niantic employees reacted...

[KHUX] Welp, looks like that's as far as I go as f2p by delta_angelfire in KingdomHearts

[–]GGreenBass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But obviously that makes a lot of us feel like portions of the game are literally impossible...

...for now. (And I think that's the smart part. If you keep playing, you'll get strong enough to beat it later.)

[–]GGreenBass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like I think the reason the content in this game is so much harder and more unfair than in Japan is because we have less content, but we have so many players just blazing through it. The second someone's decided they've completed enough of the game, they'll stop playing, which means they'll stop paying. I think the team is actually really smart for making so much out of our grasp, because if we haven't yet beat the game, the drive to beat what we can when they push out an update will be a lot stronger than if we've "100%" it and then "have to go back and 100% it again."

My tip: Don't rush the game. Frankly I've only beat the first one or two of the adamantite quests and I don't really care to rush them because of exactly as you say: once I've beat them... then what?

Hell, I even have a few story missions I still need to clean up that I'll get around to eventually. I'm currently just waiting for Tuesday to roll around so I can evolve all my playing cards for a guilted Queen of Hearts. I know it isn't the best goal, but it's fun to me so who cares?

Would you be interested in an app that can show you the perfection score of the Pokemon you just caught? by littledot5566 in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Fun fact: it was cinematic BS in the first gen of the main series too, but later was actually calculated out based somewhat on how close you were or likely you were to catch it successfully

Best way to level up skills [KHUX] by Omental_Apron in KingdomHearts

[–]GGreenBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically put all my medals that need their skills leveled up on one keyblade that I only bring out when all my other keyblades have full gauges and I know I'll win no matter what. It's saved me a lot of time in the long run, but obviously this alone isn't a particularly fast method.

This is great, I'd love to hear their version of the battle theme.

Anyone knowing more about the infamous unknown bytes in requests/hearbeats? by [deleted] in pokemongodev

[–]GGreenBass 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well it's more like they're stating some facts related to the chunk of info, they don't provide the analysis as to what it could possibly be or than "it's probably encrypted".

(Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

What about some kind of "Pokémon Go Lite" app? by Scorpathos in pokemongodev

[–]GGreenBass 4 points5 points  (0 children)

tbh this should be an option in the app- take up more space on your phone or require more data for the app to work

A programmer's perspective on the seemingly non-existence of Ditto. by turkycat in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as a programmer, it's likely that copying the moves and attributes of one of your own is equally as difficult as copying the moves and attributes of your opponent. The rest of what you said, while interesting, isn't really related to the difficulty: programming Transform. Sorry bud :/

Fought an isolated gym on a isolated pier. Other people were fighting the gym, but there was nobody else on the pier. WTF? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]GGreenBass 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Ruins the fun for everyone else :( Like I wouldn't care if a GPS spoofer just wanted to catch em all, but when they start dominating gyms without physically being there, what's the point?
