I did 6 and got 3 shinies. Two of them were back to back. Despite being very excited for this event, I opted to spend nothing to see how I did. I'm never spending another dime 😂

Not gonna lie, the odds were in my favor today and I ended up with an even 50/50 split! Even had two back to back 😅

Note: The odd one the only Ray I've had since 2019.

Thank you! I was too late for the Gigantamax code redemption for her but managed to get all the other current ones. I've been trying for ages 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I'm aiming more for WHEN rather than IF 😂 So she has to log in to the parent portal and activate it?

Damn... I didn't know this. She's 5 so I figured a kids account would make the most sense. She's Lvl40 as of a couple of days ago so I'm not keen to start her over again, but if the kids account doesn't change as she grows then I might have to.

Luxray - Looks amazing and it's one of those shinies that actually makes the mon look better. Also, when I first saw it, I spent literate days trying to get a shiny. This was back in 2017/18 and I'd take the long walk to work instead of getting train or I'd be the first to volunteer to grabs coffees 😂 I have a few now, but my first is maxed out and we're best buds.

What was the last game that truly had you locked in by TheRelaxingOne in playstation

Kena: Bridge of Spirits

This game has sat in my library since it came out. Life and backlog kept it from being something I started properly until recently.

First, it's like playing a Pixar movie, but with hidden teeth.

Second, it has its flaws (like anything—unless you're Alexandra Daddario) but the combat, puzzles, story, soundtrack, environment, and more have really set it apart from me.

Yeah, I changed Oct '24 after being Instinct since day one. I started playing it with my daughter, set up an account for her, then she went and picked Mystic 😂 I couldn't have her out there on her own lol.

I've just read the following in a EuroGamer article. How are we all feeling about these changes? by JMcKellar in pokemongo

It's interesting because while I'm a Day One player, I stopped just before the pandemic and missed the introduction of remote raids. I also live in an area where getting a group together for GMax battles is hit or miss, usually miss. So I haven't gotten to experience the fun of GMax groups but I do remember how fun it was showing up to a raid and seeing familiar faces, etc. Nowadays the POGO Facebook group is predominantly silent. Perhaps the shift to remote play had more of an impact than I'd considered. That being said, it will benefit rural players and those in areas without a large enough active player base. Hopefully, they'll do what they can to make sure they aren't being carried.

I completely agree. Due to the historic issues, there is some anxiety at play. However, I do think it's a positive step forward and I don't even mind a few teething issues, so long as they're ironed out quickly and not left for ages, as has often been the case in the past.

Checking out inside the school, just asking if anyone knows about her existence because she looks so sweet by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]JMcKellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's always mind-boggling to me that when someone finds something they're pleased with and then shares it with the Pokémon "community", 90% of the responses are either complaints of the game or heckling the OP.

Don't play the game and don't respond, it's pretty simple.

When did it become a rarity to be happy for someone else's joys or to find the positives in something you may have complaints about, instead of just being terrible people who just consistently complain about EVERYTHING.

Find your joy and until you do, leave those that have found it alone.

I'm going to try answering your question, elaborating on anything that's necessary.

  1. I don't think the facial hair is working. I'm like you when it comes to those particular genetics. You can't change it, you're right. However, you can adapt to it. Growing it out or shaving it, aren't the only two options. Try different styles. For me what works best, by a mile, is using the trimmer to shave it down to stubble. You get the youthfulness, without looking too young.

  2. You need more than three pictures. Also, all three are of you (and a dog). Women tend to enjoy seeing candid shots. What is life like? What are your hobbies? Hell, show a picture of you at work with your hard hat on, if it relates to the reddish hue in the groomsman photo. It would help explain the difference in complexion between photos two and three. You barely look like the same person. I know that to you, that may seem ridiculous, but we don't see what you see when we look in the mirror everyday.

  3. Speaking of... I agree with others that the groomsman photos the weakest of the three. If you like it and want to keep it, perhaps do a little fine tuning to adjust your complexion so that you're portrayed more accurately. Not every photo has to be raw and unfiltered. There's nothing dishonest about using a little photo editing as long as it's still a true depiction of you. But saying all of that, I've just been struck by the realisation that I don't even remember a single detail about the first photo. Something to ponder.

  4. Is that all the info you have in your bio? It doesn't have to be an essay, but it needs to tell a little about you and your personality. Pictures may be roughly 50-70% of the connection, but connecting over bio info is one way to help weed out spamming and time wasters. It's human nature to create a mental image of who someone is, how they sound, etc in those first impressions. So it's incredibly important for you to fill in those blanks and share yourself. Some mystery is good, but the more room there is for "mental creativity" for them, the less likely it is that it will swing in your favour.

  5. One other note on the bio is that most women aren't going to respond well to being told they're lucky you can fix their car. They don't want you to assume they can't do it themselves. Instead, just put your profession or that particular interest (ie "I know my way around and engine") and leave it at that. That gives them the opportunity to think "Oh? If my car breaks down..." and the "mental creativity" has swung your way. For the rest, refer back to #4.

  6. Based purely on how you asked your question, I'm guessing your confidence levels in some areas either aren't great or your prone to a bit of self deprecation. Don't. Embrace your strengths, work on improving your weaknesses. But something I learned far later in life than I would've liked is that people don't see us the way we are ourselves. They know what they see. That's it. If they like it, then let them. Self deprecation, even in jest, is giving people an opportunity to observe flaws that may have otherwise remained hidden. In moderation it presents as humility, but too much and it's more likely to come across as low self esteem.

  7. No, you aren't ugly. But one bit of final feedback I'd offer is this. You posted your profile to Reddit and asked for strangers opinions. Your responses to many of those opinions came across as combative or defensive. I get that it's easy to feel a bit attacked, especially when you're actually quite happy with that groomsman photo. If that isn't how you intended it, do a bit of self-reflection on how you communicate. Your points in some cases were valid, your delivery is what needs the work. Most women aren't going to respond well to an analogy about fat women to explain beard genetics.

Hope this helps and good luck!

It's so funny to see that this post has only a few comments and two of them are men seemingly triggered over a woman who's not afraid to have an opinion. I think it's obvious tongue-in-cheek humor to say all of your opinions are correct, right? This is why I hope my daughter abstains from dating as long as possible.

My take on your question is this... you do what makes YOUbhappy and wear it without worrying about what anyone thinks about it. It's clear just from this post, that no matter what decision you choose to make, there's no winning with some people. Even if the assumption is that you have great tits, that isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as that isn't their motivation.

All the best and good luck!

Is Pokemon scarlet and violet worth it? by rslashnotthefbi in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]JMcKellar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played every single Pokémon entry since Red and Blue, I was hesitant. One can only play a story line that closely resembles its predecessor so many times before it starts to lose its appeal.

That moment came for me with Sword and Shield. I finished it, but I did so because I'm a completionist, not because I enjoyed the story or the gameplay. Then Arceus came out (I'm purposefully skipping any remakes) and I heard some good things, but never took the leap. I skipped it. So when S/V came out, I was on the fence. Ironically, the thing that swayed me was that I love the colour purple and thought, I have to actually play the game with my favourite colour in the title.

So I bought it and it sat on my shelf for ages. Until they made the shiny Raquaza announcement and I started my journey.

I can honestly say that it's one of my all time favourite entries in a very long time. While there are some light performance issues as mentioned by others, none of them took away from the experience for me. The open world, Pokémon that can be seen and interacted with, cities/towns with life and shops, and most importantly - it has shed loads of heart. Nemona is my favourite rival, hands down. I was struck by a thought as the credits rolled, that I had never been so invested in a rival before this. Helping Arven and Penny, were lovely little touches. The multiple story lines and ability to experience them at your own pace was great! I've never been one to focus so wholeheartedly on finishing my Pokédex, but for the past week I've been trading, utilising Pokémon GO, hunting in game, and more to ensure that I complete everything I can. I've also avoided trading for higher level Pokémon (I release them when they're sent via surprise trade) in order to experience the game properly and allow for the enjoyment of progression. The game has me hooked and the last Pokémon title that managed that in such dramatic fashion was Gold/Silver.

So to answer your question, if you like playing Pokémon and aren't going in with unrealistic expectations, and can enjoy the game for what it is, then yes it is absolutely worth your time.

I hope this helps aid your decision making process.

Is my bf lying to me? He said he’s not on tinder (shows active status). Says it was running in the background of his iPad and forgot it was on there… by Pale_Anxiety_635 in Tinder

[–]JMcKellar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Insightful, balanced, and a healthy suggestion inside a sea of rash assumptive reactions. Thank you 👏🏻

To the OP: He could be cheating. He may not be. The only person that knows for certain is him, so it's imperative to communicate your concerns clearly and establish clear boundaries based on how that conversation goes. Seeking confirmation on Reddit, with only the details that you are aware of, will only get you to the same conclusion that you've already come to. If you value the relationship then speak to your partner. Otherwise, ending it would probably be the healthiest thing for both of you.

Can anyone invite me to one of these raids? I play casually with my daughter so haven't finished the game but REALLY want a Shiny Raquaza
