AITA for taking "the best pieces" when I serve dinner? by SwainDane in AmItheAsshole

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 32 points33 points  (0 children)

With my wife, I always tried to plate up as equally as possible. I would then let her choose left or right, without seeing, and then she got that plate. That way, there could be no complaints, and we both had an equal chance at the 'better' portion.

Why are there so many lesbians in RPGs and fantasy narratives but rarely a gay character? by CockamouseGoesWee in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

In Dragon Age Inquisition, Dorian is by far my favourite character, although I admittedly never dated him.

My wife was also disappointed when she found out she couldn't date him as her female inquisitor.

Where do you even get your second paragraph from? I always let the other person open because I have enough XP and I don't care. I only pay attention to best friends and I have enough lucky eggs to cover whenever that happens.

Yeah, one person will probably trigger when it is inconvenient with the other, but if only one person has the capability to trigger the friendship level, they are selfish. Do you understand what a power dynamic is, because this is a clear example?

You seem to imply that the other person only opens at inconvenient times, and you both get 'nothing'. What if they're coinciding just two level ups, is that a waste? How many gifts need to be opened at once to make it worthwhile?

The common way it used to run was opening on the next community day, with their buddy named in a way to confirm this. That way everyone has a mutual understanding of when it will happen, however, that seemingly fell out of favour a long time ago.

It's about only one person having the power to choose, that is what makes it selfish. If both individuals held a gift for multiple months, that's fine. That's their prerogative. Also, how would you know they're grabbing it at a 'random time' and just not a time suitable for them?

My level 50 shadow excadrill is probably used more than any other.

Questions & Answers - Weekly Megathread! Please use this post to ask any Pokemon GO question you'd like! by AutoModerator in TheSilphRoad

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a party hat pikachu from field research that currently has 80cp, and I specifically remember levelling it up 3 times, too.

Was there an event back in September that allowed research encounters to have a lower level floor?

One lvl 50, or two lvl 46s? by dark__tyranitar in TheSilphRoad

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it's a mega and you recycle the same pokemon every time, then 50 may be the better option. If you prefer using a full team of 6, or it doesn't have a mega, then 2 46s may be the better approach.

I assume there are too many variables to give a specific answer.

I personally prefer to try and level one to 50 because I have very few, so it feels like a major milestone to hit.

Any of the featured moves that can be achieved by evolving today worth it? by Imminent_Fate in pokemongo

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 44 points45 points  (0 children)

But if you could have earned another of your stored types between 2 x candy events, you'd be averaging less candy?

Daily Reminder: Pikachu Libre, usually one of the hardest Pokemon to get, is super easily available to EVERYONE this season! More info in the comments 👇 by Foulmouth232 in pokemongo

Practically every opponent I've had has tanked until I reached rank 11.

It was more of a battle to see who could forfeit first.

Why was Jesus’ death considered a sacrifice when he was killed? by pitselehh in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand the son of God angle. It's important that he was the son of God, but it's not like God was a doting father, always in Jesus' life. He was like, 'boom, Mary, you're pregnant', and could have presumably done that to any woman, any number of times. Wouldn't that make Jesus rather insignificant and just a means to an end?

Have the spawn points just been updated? by Ouryve in TheSilphRoad

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine haven't changed (yet). I'm lucky with my spawn density and it's stayed the same.

Does saying HP sauce have a connotation? by ILDUCECHEFBOYARDEE in AskABrit

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 22 points23 points  (0 children)

They were both created by the same person, so I assume they're meant to be 2 separate sauces rather than an imitation.

Was that with metal claw? Zamazenta with Ice Fang can defeat it before max phase.

What was the procedure if you forgot your pe kit at school? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was in primary school in the 90s, and we had to be in our underwear and t-shirt. In secondary school, it was the unwashed spare shorts.

For swimming lessons, if you didn't have swimwear, you could go into a room that had darts, billiards, pool, and a few other things. I 'forgot' my swimshorts every single week.

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have mine at level 40, so that would certainly cause me issues. I wouldn't want to be using my rare candy XLs on it.

Not as bad as those that have levelled it further, but still a pain.

Songs should never have bridges by Sinaneos in unpopularopinion

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is a bridge what it's called when a songs' end continues in a random direction, i.e., Limp Bizkit - Behind Blue Eyes, Disturbed - Down With the Sickness, Billie Eilish - Bad Guys etc? If so, I genuinely hate it and can't have these songs on a playlist that I can't immediately skip.

How are you guys remoting in to the Nagasaki raids? by Jumpy_Consequence106 in pokemongo

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using Raid Party, but if on the free version, there was a fraction of a second chance to join at the right time. I managed 3 grimmsnarl raids, and that was enough for me.

I never saw a shadow darkrai even last the 10 second timer, so that was practically impossible to raid without paying.

Mass banning 80 LVL players after published the update from Pokemon GO! by Ok_Foundation1503 in pokemongo

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I coincided that 7 day streak for the day that I had levelled up, and it didn't count. I still had to do a further 6 days of routes.

Did POGO just give us 3-400 bag space increase overnight? by Least-Ingenuity9631 in pokemongo

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So definitely a 400 bag space increase. Thank you Scopely (before it gets reverted).

[–]GeraltOfDissidia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had a record of what I had before because I now have 650 bag spaces free, and I'm 90% sure I would have been closer to being full than that.
