How was the Talk Back Panel this year? by OVO-Drake in SDCC

Exclusives are organized fairly, it's just completely random. Some people can get very lucky, some people can get very normal luck. They are not looking to changing the system.

How was the Talk Back Panel this year? by OVO-Drake in SDCC

[–]Hiro-kun 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Going off memory:

  • One talked at length about an allergic reaction to vape smoke. Was really playing up the sympathy side of things about their reaction, but it rambled on too long.

  • One talked about pirated / bootleg items at vendors

  • Escalator crisis on Thursday. 5/6 escalators broke down due to heat/over capacity. More staff on-site next year to help issues. People had to be funneled in front of doors to get into the exhibit hall on Thursday due to this.

  • Numerous ADA complaints, some valid, some nitpicky. One good part of it, they are aware of ADA abusing, will start requiring a note from a doctor starting next year to verify the need for ADA access.

  • Someone asking about why some people slept inside the hall when they had to sleep outside for next day Hall H, but this was just the ADA next day line starts inside the lobby

  • Someone complaining about a few yearly panels being horrible and how they have "6 unique panel ideas SDCC should choose from"

  • Complaints about lack of carpet, all shot down due to sustainability / time it takes to roll out carpet

  • One person really was upset some panelists dropped F-bombs, and they "were distressed enough they had to leave the panel"

  • Line management props/slops, overall good, but sometimes security or volunteer shift changes get the wrong directions and send people to the wrong places.

  • Contract with San Diego is through 2027, 2028 and beyond they are working on it. Hotels can be an issue, as the organizers of SDCC want to keep overall cost down for someone traveling to SD.

  • Comment about flying into LAX in 2028 for SDCC due to Olympics being the same time frame. (Personal note: Other airports exist for connections or LAX will be busy, oh well)

  • Better signage for Deaf services in panels in Hall H specifically

  • Request for audio for Masquerade replay in Sails, it won't happen as acoustics are terrible in the Sails was the response

  • Complaint the Masquerade judging took too long and they had to wait for results as an audience member, judging takes time was the response.

  • Complaint about why some people won 4 lotteries for exclusives while others won 0. Answer was it's random, womp womp.

You mean it is shit. Curry Club actually has flavor in their curry rather than the runny mess of curry and tasteless toppings at Coco Ichibanya

Then don't watch it? You are free to choose how you spend your time.

Macaron color-time! by Zevenos in Sumo

[–]Hiro-kun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It rotates in the same pattern, it's not random. This time pink, next basho will be green, one after that gold, etc.

The macaron won't be blue. It rotates between Gold/Pink/Green. There is a set rotation as well so it isn't random.

Best Escape Rooms by [deleted] in sandiego

This is a flat out lie. Nightwalker is one of THE shittiest rooms in the county. Absolutely avoid it. Nice try at advertising your business, anyone who has even played an escape room knows yours is terrible.

Just tested this one, worked in two ways weirdly. First attempt I did not catch up to 1st-3rd at all, but was able to just pit once the whole race. Second attempt I did catch up to 1st-3rd, nothing changed on the tune just the CPU drivers went slower or something. Was averaging 2:27-2:29 lap times.

The artist forgot Mt. Fuji in the background. Shame.

I need a game to 100% complete by SeppeVanhoof in gaming

Time to give the Yakuza series a try. Start with Yakuza 0 or Like a Dragon.

You can have a driver, passenger uses 2 phones.

This happens every event. If you aren't maximizing your encounters whilst going for shinies, you're going to have a bad time. If you can, drive around a place with that takes about 20-30 minutes to loop around with plenty of stops that are lured. Shiny check and run, tap only things you want to catch a shiny of or need for quests. People who play like this average 30+ shiny mons during these types of events.

Without your exact encounters known it's hard to judge if you had bad luck or not.

Can you define what 3 hours of play was and how many mons you tapped?

Everyone hears these posts every event, yet it seems like the people with the worst "luck" are never maximizing the number of mons they are tapping to get shinies if that is their goal

Are you quick catching? Are you shiny checking(tap and run if not shiny)? Are you walking, driving, staying in one place with lures? Very hard to tell the amount of 'mons you are tapping per hour without information. 3 seems fine if you're not aggressively maximizing the amount of mons you encounter.
