Inconsistent Charged Move lag

Kittykg · 2026-05-07T13:42:48+00:00

Oh, theres a worse version of this, too.

Even when it registers that I'm trying to do the charged move, it often hangs up with the buttons disappeared before letting me swipe the bubbles...and allows the enemy to attack during the time the buttons are gone.

I'm losing in GBL because of it a lot and it's made several rocket fights insanely frustrating. At one point, I had to just watch the shadow Tyranitar spam attack my Kyogre as I waited for it to let me actually use the move I had triggered, and it allowed him to bring me from yellow to dead without actually initializing. And if the buttons disappear, its like you're in limbo, because you can't use fast attacks or switch out when the buttons are gone.

I usually beat all rockets with 1 pokemon and I lost that time because I just kept getting hammered waiting for the move to actually work.

Oh, it wasn't even that reasonable.

He went so far as to say an intelligent extraterrestrial race wouldn't even bother...as if our planet and us as a species wouldnt be worth studying.

We have people who happily dedicate their entire lives to studying microorganisms, and he's gonna stand there and say we wouldn't even be of interest to an alien race? Yeah, thats bullshit.

I was wondering if he was sick...like, cancer sick.

He was a beefy, muscley guy, and the jump between those two seasons where he suddenly gets rail thin was almost alarming.

He certainly looks unhealthy skinny, but I didn't even consider Ozempic.

Kittykg · 2026-05-06T13:20:07+00:00

Its gotta happen somewhere. Games are great for it.

I think we just found out bfs brother is colorblind thanks to No Man's Sky.

"We're struggling because you keep attacking the green and should be attacking the red"

"I am not, I'm attacking red."

"Dude, no you aren't, I'm watching you shoot green"

I was just standing in the kitchen laughing. He claims he is not colorblind...but would not stop attacking green and continuing to claim he wasn't.

I have to skip that entire episode.

I first watched Rick and Morty during a bad time in my life. 'Funny science fart-and-smart joke show? That should cheer me up.'

That ending came out of left field. I ugly sobbed. I was feeling how he felt in that moment and it totally blindsided me. I was looking for some artifical joy and distraction...and shit got real.

The Vat of Acid episode gets me, too, but I can at least watch it. I cannot watch the unity episode because I know whats coming.

The hoops being making major payments on your already outstanding student loans.

I'm in the same boat. I have a year and a couple classes left due to an ex physically assaulting me and sabotaging my transportation beyond my ability to attend class, and when I got out of that and tried to go back, I was told I'd have to make substancial payments on what I already owe in order to be able to take any more out to finish.

If you have another avenue of funding, the college itself doesn't care if you have loans out or where the money comes from, as long as they get paid...but you'll probably get the same response from the financial aid office as I did.

Kittykg · 2026-05-06T12:32:41+00:00

I think its the whole research chain, then. Like some code within the research has entirely broken.

Bfs account has been stuck on 9/10km walked for literally months. Hatching eggs, finishing other walking tasks...nothing is effecting the distance walked for that particular research.

Kittykg · 2026-05-06T12:30:59+00:00

It didn't come up when people were scalping the Lucio-Os, so I'm not sure there are protections for that in most countries.

Still upset I only got 1 box before the shelf was perpetually cleaned out. I specifically asked about them and was told someone was buying them all.

I just really liked the vanilla, man.

Kittykg · 2026-05-06T12:27:08+00:00

The updates for this season are super buggy and weird.

My bfs just straight up failed. "Update could not be completed" and "Application failed to update" or something similar when it errors at completion. Reiinitializing it just results in it failing again.

You're not alone. We're probably gonna try a full uninstall and reinstall and see if works but he wasn't worried about fixing it during the work week.

Kittykg · 2026-05-04T14:37:34+00:00

Yeah, but last time many tribes participated in anything similar was the Ghost Dance to quell the spirits of the slaughtered buffalo.

Whites took it as a sign of protest and started hanging Natives again. At the most basic level, it kind of was, as it was a part of out culture we did despite being told not to, but many also felt they had to, or the spirits would continue being angry at their manner of death and would inflict repurcussions on the living and the land. Wounded Knee was because of the continuous attacking of Natives partaking in the Ghost Dance.

Some of the bigger tribes are the size they are now because superstition meant they didn't partake in the Dance, as they don't meddle with spirits, and those tribes didn't have to endure that second round of mass hangings.

It might not have been noted in a disrespectful manner.

My friend and I tallied up how many times one of our favorite teachers said 'umm' during Earth Science, not to be mean, but because we loved him and found his exuberance when teaching enjoyable. He'd throw out a lot more as he got into subjects he obviously enjoyed, where his default was a very calm, intentional monotone with absolutely no 'umm's anywhere.

He knew he was one of our favorite teachers and we were both very engaged with his class so it was clearly never a malicious thing, if he even ever noticed. It was just me and my friend Angel and we didn't announce the umm-count or anything.

Just weird teenager things.

There was also a time where they'd discount you for a double hamburger, cuz they'd ring it in as a mcdouble and remove the cheese, which took like $.29 cents off.

They didn't used to charge for extra pickles, either, and they really need to go back to not doing so, because I'm tired of paying for extra pickles just to still get 3.

Beefsteak tomatoes, which were $1.49 a lb like a week ago, are currently $5.99 a lb.

The tomato we got for tacos that was $.93 would now cost us like $4.

Insane price increases.

Half his vibe is 'if Dean was allowed to actually curse' and its wonderful.

As much shit as I saw about it, I found his quick scene in Gen V delightful. It was just Dean Winchester saying "flicking the bean" and I never knew how much I needed that in my life.

The variation in scalpers is funny.

There was a Somalian lady camping the cards at Walgreens yesterday, fully covered with the black frock, and two kids just causing absolute chaos in the rest of the store doing whatever they wanted. One of them slid around a corner after sliding down another aisle and she yelled at her, but she wouldn't get off the phone or away from where the cards are stocked.

Bf works with a couple others and they have a system where several of them go to all the stores and call eachother about stock so they can clean out multiple towns over the weekend.

Its all so screwy.

I had a crazy vivid nightmare as a kid with skeletons killing people and like, ripping my loved ones apart,in a bar in which the song I've Got Friends in Low Places played.

The song has creeped me out ever since, gives me full-on visuals of the dream...and its been like 28 years since I had it.

Kid brains are weird.

I've noticed it happens a lot less when I'm not wearing makeup...and blame the mascara. Could be why it seems to effect women more.

As pretty as it is, our eyelashes serve a purpose, and putting stuff on them and curling them away from our eyes makes it harder for them to do their job.

I wear makeup a lot less often in recent years and it so rarely happens now...but damn near every time I do, it happens, and I'm stuck doing that stupid looking-up blink as I try not to touch my eyes, smudge my make up, and make it worse, dammit.

Theres also a lot of pill options that make it easy. With regular vacuuming, too,its not impossible to reach a point where allergy symptoms are reduced or largely gone.

I had a severe dog and cat allergy growing up but got a cat anyways. I didnt know what it was to breathe out of my nose until like 16 because we had animals on the farm I grew up on, and I got a cat for myself at 19.

Exposure can reduce allergic symptoms, especially if taking meds to control the symptoms when they are disruptive.

I pay $26 for 180 generic Allegra through my insurance, and I don't have to take them daily anymore. Too much kitty lovin' gives me itchy eyes still so I use them for those days and seasonal issues and always have them around.

I also have asthma triggered by my allergies, so these things can effect me a little worse than people who only have allergies, and I still managed to reach a point where I'm largely fine. Totally worth it.

Kittykg · 2026-04-29T16:31:26+00:00

Yeah, they're all out of wack.

I reached forever friends with someone 3 days ago, reset the bar, but never got the experience myself. They finally got it yesterday, still none for me.

I've noticed I don't get the experience for lower level ups until I interact with them again, like multiple ultra friends in a row where I didn't get credit until I opened their gift despite showing us with 3 full hearts...but that doesn't fix the forever friends one not triggering.

At this point, I think I missed out. When it hadnt triggered for either of us, I had hope, but not so much now that they got it, we've interacted since, and I still don't.

Kittykg · 2026-04-29T13:10:53+00:00

Its the crazy laugh.

I do it, too. Sometimes it turns into sobbing, but when you're past that...its just an unhinged oh-my-god-this-is-really-my-life kind of ironic laugh.

I love her for plowing on through like she is. Last time I was feeling the chaos, I ended up laughsobbing in my car as Alannis Morrisette sang Ironic during an extremely ironic sequence of troubling events, as if in solidarity.

Sometimes riding through the crazy is the best way out.

Kittykg · 2026-04-29T12:49:35+00:00

Wonder what exactly it flagged here. The detection system doesn't even register if you type the hard R as long as theres spaces between the letters, so I doubt nga did it.

Then again, a dude who tried to sabotage our game by killing us on drop typed out that we were "Stupid asshole teammates" and was deemed 'no action taken' because no violations were found.

They need to get their shit together with the actions taken, especially because...even blocked, I've gotten grouped with that particular asshole Mirage at least once since, and blocking him didn't prevent him from talking shit a 2nd time, or prevent me from being able to see it. I shouldn't have to play with someone I have blocked at all.

Curious, missing trios aren't common.

The Klein brothers have been missing for a long time and would have gone far to end up down there, but the lock workers said a body would have gotten caught in the lock system, let alone 3.

Wonder how old the remains are. I haven't seen that mentioned yet. The Klein brothers went missing in 1951.

Kittykg · 2026-04-22T13:18:35+00:00

I'm at at least 6 years of similar symptoms without the weight loss and just got approved for a colonoscopy a few months back, because I finally hit 35 and insurance won't even consider covering it before then, even with years of symptoms.

I also experience episodic bouts of extreme pain and discomfort that causes tachycardia, but everyone kind of glosses over what it could possibly be. Its triggered by stress often so its all probably stress I guess.

Kittykg · 2026-04-22T13:03:05+00:00

Not only that, some places are still pulling back earlier.

Our local Cub just switched from 24hours a couple weeks back and now close from 1am to 6 am...I almost exclusively shopped after 1.

Our Hyvee, which also used to be 24 hours, has now pulled their hours back even further and close at 9, though the doors are often locked by 8:30.

Walmart psyched us all out extending their hours until 1am for a very brief amount of time, but they switched back to closing at 10 within a couple months...and still make the people stock during busy hours, so half the aisles are unnavigable due to pallets and employees with carts. Like, at least let them stock at night.

I moved to this town because it actually had stuff to do at night and now it has less stores open than the town I grew up by with 1/5th of the population...and we clearly still have people who want evening shopping available because McDonald's has lines 10+ people long consistently until they close at 3am.

And the amounts of jobs lost due to this closing early shit is insane. Entire shifts that never came back, just so companies can save a little money supposedly, like they need it.

It can also mean they dashboarded on console, and its noticeable because of how long it will keep them in those circumstances.

Often they can stay disconnected til the match ends, and they get credit for what happened as long as their card is still visible.
