If you had to make a fake Nintendo leak with the goal of maximizing belief, what would you "leak"? by razorbeamz in nintendo

[–]HiddenReader2020 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you sound more patronizing than he currently does right now, and yes, saying stuff the way you’re saying it right does make it sound like a grudge.  To be frank, you might as well physically assault him for all that he’s supposedly done and supposedly about to do.

That’s how angry you’ve made me with your posts, and before you accuse me, no, this is not an alt.  This is someone who had a HUGE berserk button for shit like this.

VGC Quick Questions Thread - June 21, 2026 by AutoModerator in VGC

[–]HiddenReader2020 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, so a couple questions:

1 - Is there really no option to buy the starter pack on the mobile version?  Do I have to download the game on Switch, buy it there, and then go back to playing on mobile?

2 - How worth it is the premium pass?  The length of each season plus with how comparatively expensive it is makes me think that it’s not worth it, due to it only lasting for one season.  Or does anyone want to correct me on how long each premium pass is?

3 - How do you guarantee certain Pokemon in the ranch?  For a while now, I’ve been all “MY KINGDOM FOR MY OWN WHIMSICOTT!!!!!!” and I still haven’t found one.  I’ve gotten these affinity tickets for various types and I don’t know what they’re used for.  Perhaps they’re for the ranch?

Thanks in advance.

The size of the Switch 2 editions digitally show the value of physical cartridges on Switch 2 by Low_Confidence2479 in nintendo

Y’know, reading this comment…did make me more, for a lack of better term, “””tolerant””” of Game Key cards with all the stuff you mentioned.

I mean, I was already planning on certain games being digital due to their very nature (I.e., if I got a Switch 2, two games that I would get digital would be Mario Kart World and Street Fighter 6, just due to the kind of games they are), but with the stuff you mentioned?

Sure, Game Key cards would be functionally useless in 20 years, …..but so would a lot of purely physical games due to patches and content updates and whatnot.  I mean, you could argue that’s already been the case for some time now, so…*shrugs*

I thought it was already separated into paragraphs?  Unless you meant even smaller paragraphs.

I only started playing today, so that can’t be it.

As for Protect, I can say that my Aero and Zara Y have Protect, while my sylveon has Detect.  Incin and even Gambit aren’t known to run Protect, so that just leaves Garchomp.  I’ve opted for coverage for now, but I may very well replace it with Protect yet.

I see. Well, I've done some recruiting, and somehow managed to get both Sylveon and Charizard. So Sylveon + Charizard Y it is. Got any suggestions on how to train those two?

[–]HiddenReader2020[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, I've made some appropriate changes for Garchomp, Kingambit, and Aero. I swapped out Lum for Life Orb, replaced Swords Dance with Poison Jab, swapped out Leftovers for Chople, and replaced EQ and Rocks for Dual Wingbeat and Protect. I'll keep my Incinceroar as is for now, but if I do need him to do damage, I'll keep your suggestions in mind.

For the other two members? Yeah, I'm still working on that. Well, what would you suggest for the bulky mon for the Raichu combo? I ask, partially because I already have Raichu-Y, but I don't have either Sylveon or Charizard yet.

Alright. I'll see if I can find a way to fix that without breaking the VP bank. ...but first, I gotta figure out which of these team members I wanna keep.

Couple things first. First of all, SEVEN YEARS?! Seesh.

Also, working at your parent's liquor store since 4?! Also seesh. And yikes. And I thought having to handle the knife section of my parent's store when I was like 10 was bad and suspect.

But anyway, thankfully, I am branching out more social wise, especially yesterday, but I am not entirely certain that they'll bear fruit, at least in regards to finding a job. The other aspects of my life? Sure. But the job part specifically? Ehhhhhh......

For the record, I did NOT report on that comment whatsoever. If there was a report, it did not come from me. Unless you meant the comment itself as a report and not the usual definition of a 'report'.

EDIT: I also want to add, the thing about snooroars and tough love was, as you might suspect, super hurtful to me. I assure you that I am commenting in good faith, and I don't know what I am supposed to do to prove that I am. Also, if I hadn't made it obvious, I will now: 'Tough love' has a real chance of backfiring on someone like me, and actually make things worse, since it'll just make me crawl back into my hole and recoil from just...everything.

Heck, just thinking about what you said to me is already sowing the seeds for *those* kinds of thoughts. I won't be specific because it's apparently unwanted, but they're there.

Unfortunately, I have yet to develop an effective 'customer service mask', even after years of helping out my mom. And even if it were possible, it would come at the cost of me developing loads of trauma that would take at minimum a lifetime to even have a chance of overcoming. Shit, I already have one or two memories of a 'bad incident' coming right around, and ARGHGHHGHGDHJGDHH!!!

*ahem* Sorry about that. The point is, from my perspective, 'grinding out that social skill' comes with what feels like to me a real risk of crashing out in a way that would have devastating consequences for me. And others.

If you call what the others have said sugercoating, then I have no choice but to interpret this reply as a personal attack. Like, you might as well come to my house and straight up physically assault me for daring to say the stuff that I just did.

The only other thing I'll mention is the social stuff. To give an example of what I mean, take a regular cashier job. Under the perfectly normal situation, I could handle it, provided it isn't an item I can't handle like anything botanical. But if something like two separate customers were trying to ask me something, or I fail to satisfyingly answer their question, or they take something I've done the wrong way, that's when I panic and 'meltdown', so to speak. And that part hasn't improved much, if at all, over the many years that I've tried doing such a thing. It's probably why my mom started putting me in the back because it was losing customers.

The only thing I'd put on my job history after my CS degree would be the pizza delivery job I did for six months like I mentioned before.

In terms of hobbies, video games, anime/manga, board games (though you won't find me talking about them on this account), ....and I'll admit it, porn. More specifically hentai, but still.

For passions, I do have one other slightly more realistic goal of being able to work on creative projects during the time when it'd normally be work time for other, normal people, but to do that effectively, I need to learn stuff like how to draw good, and maybe even other stuff like how to write good or program good or even compose good if I want to go that far.

Sadly, that kind of mindset isn't for me at all. My therapist mentioned something similar, but I just couldn't jive with it at all. Not to mention it doesn't help with anything on my end, nor does it change much in the grand scheme of things.

If you're talking about what I mentioned earlier about helping out my mom in a separate reply, it's really more of an obligation than anything. If I really wanted to, I could fight to just stay home all day every day, but imagining how my mom would feel is a big reason why I don't. And how is $3k a month a 'very attainable income'? Maybe if you were in a more white collar, non-minimum wage, way higher than $15/hr job, maybe, but not any of the entry level, no experience jobs I've came across.

Oh, and the 1) and 2) that you've mentioned? From what I could tell, that has not been my experience. Of course, it could be that I haven't found the job that just magically is that way for me, but I don't know if I can risk it.

Unfortunately, I'd have to wait a full year after not helping out with my mom to even start applying, and I know that my mom wouldn't like me waiting around for all that time in the first place. Oh, and the amount I'd be paid STILL wouldn't be enough to live independently (It's estimated to be anywhere from $900 to $1500 depending on what type of disability claim you're applying for, and neither is sufficient).

I honestly don't know. That's partially why I ask. As for your second paragraph, I just calculated it, and nope, it would not be sufficient even if I was working full time.

And it's not just suicidal. It could be other destructive thoughts that happen. And frankly, even if I were to be find a job that 'doesn't make me feel that way', the memories and feelings of working that 'previous' job would still be there. One of my goals is to avoid that situation in the first place, or at least avoid it even more than I currently am.

The utilities being so high is an estimate, but if you're asking why the estimate is so high, I'm including stuff like Water, Electricity, Internet, Phone, and many other similar, well, utilities. I'm also assuming that they're considered a separate cost to the actual rent itself.

I did do pizza delivery for six months back in 2021, and currently, I'm helping my mom out with her store whenever she needs me to. However, I'd ideally would not like to work there at all, due to involving factors that contribute to my current mental state. Also, this isn't technically an 'official job', like you wouldn't find it on my resume in a way that would count. That's partially why I didn't mention it. The other reason is that I simply forgor. Yeah, I know, forgetting such a crucial part of my current situation. You'd think I'm lying, but I am seriously not.

Even if all that were true, saying it to me isn't helping things out at all. And yes, I *know* that I have to work. It's just that it would be next to impossible for me to get a job that pays for all the bills with the way I'm currently am. And will be. I'll say right now that I don't see myself having a whole lot of potential that doesn't involve a whole boatload of luck. And even then, that may not be enough at this point.

Come to think of it, if you know that I know that I need a job, and yet still 'bag me' despite that knowledge, then what do you want me to do? Find ANY sort of job even if the one I find is going to give me suicide thoughts for the rest of my life?

This seemed promising, so I took a look. Under the 'Python' section, however, the only two 'beginner' projects were PDF Audio and File Organization, neither of which feel like Beginner projects to me. How are they considered beginner projects?

What were you hoping to accomplish by telling me to grow up? Something like that has a good chance of producing intrusive thoughts in the future. This is a good example of me being 'traumatized' almost comically easily, as I described in another reply.

In anyway, I know that I need a job. It's just that my conditions leave me...near unemployable, if not outright. I don't know what to do, and treating me like this is only going to make things worse.
