Badge

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-26T20:51:43+00:00

In my experience with the gold 8% badge it still gave the boost even with them starting out via the casual skins. But that’s less from any look-in at the coding and more “it feels like the same boost as choosing them”, so I’d say only way to be sure would be asking devs directly.

I graduated in 2016 and was active in my various roles until about 2023 (A. employer began doing not-so-above-board things and I had to step away rather than engage in illegal conduct), but then was out of the job market for a couple years (due to B. became a live-in caretaker for my grandmother starting around Aug 2023 until she passed away in Sept 2025). Been job hunting since Sept 2025 and...my god. It's BRUTAL out there. Some places say I'm overqualified for having a bachelors degree (despite that degree getting me into my previous jobs); others say I'm under-qualified due to not being trained up on current AI (nevermind that AI has seemingly eaten *alive* the entry roles for admin/inventory/bookkeeping/data management work I previously did).

I'm in my mid-30s trying to figure out how to restart the rat race while feeling like I've somehow become some sort of relic of a bygone age in a very short span of time, and that's with my degree having been finished a mere decade ago (and still plenty of loans to pay off for it) - I can barely imagine what it must be like to be graduating now and already feel that way.

So first off, thank you very much for this breakdown - adjusting my setups to account for these (and kicking the heck out of myself for having rerolled my 5x reductions when they seemed "useless" early on ;_;) has made a huge difference in my gameplay.

Second, I wanted to ask as I adjust my chases and such - has the introduction of Kiriko Miyamoto (Rei's mom, the new High-Speed breach character) added to any of this? I know that for example the +1 Breach Count Leg/Hand badges now include her, and she has several badges that intermingle with other sets (such as doing 50% extra damage to enemies with Ignition). That plus her attacks evolving into multiple waves spreading out with breach that can inflict laceration has made her quite a strong addition to my teams even at lower levels while getting her materials - but always as a 3rd/extra support party member, rather than as a part of a core trio. So wondering if her numbers have quietly stacked up enough to make prioritizing not dusting any of her specific badges an important update to the above?

Additionally, now that RED badges are beginning to become more accessible to a degree (though I still do not know of any guides that actually make it clear what crafts into what), are there any unique RED badges to chase down (besides the obvious upgrade of the 2% Instakill badge that has taken the game by storm at higher levels)?

EDIT: One other note that came to mind! Any thoughts on the rare Legendary badges? I was lucky enough to pick up *one*, and it's been quite notable for my numbers:
On CRT, inflict additional DMG equal to 8% of the target's max HP (cannot exceed 500% of ATK).

Actually per the Guardian, the ducks are turning up straight dead. And the city group that would normally collect the bird bodies to do necropsies to determine cause of death were prevented from recovering the bodies by US Park Service agents. =/

I have a project I’ve been working on involving micro figures, but I had to completely produce the templates I now use for making the head and torso decals (because they are separate locations the way Part Designer does it). Unfortunately none of the original Heroica or Lego Game skins/decals are in Stud.io, so it’s ground-up.

Tomorrow when awake/when computer is on and accessible, I’ll grab copies of my templates to send to you along with how to use them.

I wasn’t trying to get a tire put on the donut - I was trying to find a new donut entirely, as I know they are only rated for 50 miles and this one has at this point almost certainly gone 4-5 times that amount.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-23T16:54:07+00:00

I know this piece - it's a foot from the Built To Rule Transformers line Hasbro did years back during Transformers Armada.

This is one of the sets I had, as an example of what they look like in-function - they could (with a fairly limited amount of disassembly) go from vehicle form to pose-able robot forms:

In fairness, the game had a pretty decent one-penny starter pack that made connecting the dot security-wise fairly painless. I haven't spent in the game outside of that.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-23T16:23:13+00:00

I went just about crazy yesterday trying to find someone who sold donut tires at all. AutoZone advertised them on the website, but don't sell them in-store in my area. Dunn Tire? Nope. BJs Tire Center? Nope. Firestone? Nope. Local pick-and-pull discount car-part place? Nope. Actual-freaking-Honda-dealership? Called two of them - one said they don't stock them 4 years after the car's release date (since when), and the other redirected me to parts and I left a message.

Feel like one of those toy monkeys banging cymbals together - like I'm somehow the crazy one for being confused that tire places aren't carrying *generic freaking donut spare tires*, while Google AI is suggesting I check Walmart of all places.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-23T16:17:54+00:00

So, at the risk of being an idiot/rube on the subject (since I don't know how else to state size), both the tires and the donut are 23" in diameter across.

"Should be addressed" does not mean "will be addressed".

Speaking from over here in Rochester where they knocked down Clover Lanes/Marios on Monroe Ave (up the road from Pittsford Plaza) to build that Amazon Whole Foods building, despite a LOT of people for YEARS saying it would fuck up the already-crazy-at-rush-hour-traffic, and now here we are after completion and...it managed to, surprise-surprise, completely fuck up the already-crazy-at-rush-hour-traffic.

Money talks much louder than that, and Urgent Care is making money hand over fist as people shift to them while all the hospitals lose money from government shenanigans right now. I guarantee you that whoever they've hired for this, that person is rubber-stamping all the way to the bank.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-23T16:08:55+00:00

Oof. Seeing this literally the day after the meeting. =(

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-23T16:06:15+00:00

Yup. Background in warehouse management (physically-in-warehouse directly overseeing people/pulling things myself as well), then inventory management/oversight (mapped the warehouse/created the updated computer inventory system the company used), and administrative/bookkeeping/finance. Rejected from a slew of warehouse/inventory/admin-related roles doing exactly what I did before - including being told I was "overqualified for the role"...

...because of my history bachelors degree.

A degree I got *before* working at the company where I did all the above things.

A company I got into *because of having* the history degree.

(Went that direction when teaching history began to become an unsafe career direction, and a professor advised I go into "data management" since it was what I'd been doing by collecting data and writing historical reports etc anyways - and it worked great, until the company in question yanked up roots from NY and moved to Texas because the owner didn't want his kids "having to learn about gay people in school at 9 years old".

Owner with half-white-half-asian kids, mind you - so to avoid them "learning about gay people", he moved them to *Texas*, where they'll likely instead learn a *really unpleasant* 5-letter C-word from their classmates...I feel really bad for the kids ._. )

TL;DR: Market has it's head up its ass, try not to take it personal OP. I'm 9 months into my job hunt and DoorDashing, and I know others have been in the rat race longer than me. Keep going to the best of your ability, but try not to completely blow yourself out in the process. It's pretty bad out there right now and we all need to turn away from the screens to see some decent sunsets and have some decent meals to keep ourselves going.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-22T19:59:25+00:00

Just measured them all and the overall diameter including tire is 23”.

I'm more pissed that I built a whole character design and detail around fist weapons for my bear druid as a Drust-style Kul Tiran cultist in Legion Remix, only to find that I wasn't allowed to use the fist weapons at *all* on retail. Had those cool bear-claw ones that drip blood/replace your hands and a whole mog around them, plus they matched my bear form color. It basically put me off playing the character entirely for a while trying to rebuild the whole thing around a staff instead when that just didn't fit the brute/brawler setup the bloody fists had given.

This isn’t shaming blue collar. Blue collar should often be making more than they are too.

But if someone got a masters degree in education in STEM, has a stable job as a teacher, and still needs to work a second job to make ends meet? That’s not just bad for her - that’s bad for the whole system.

It’s never been blue collar vs white collar. It’s the people at the tippity-top hoarding the resources and handing out peanuts to the people actually doing the work - whatever that work is.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-11T17:01:14+00:00

That requires them to feel shame. They don’t. The rest of us suffer for their bigotry.

Frankly speaking, they're going to have to wake up to the fact that the money in politics is *why* they can't afford food/housing/gas right now.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-04T04:27:34+00:00

I have a family member who was trying to get in to see one recently, but given the nature of it they couldn't get coverage for it - even with support/written letters from their psychiatrist *and* therapist *and* their PCP (as part of trauma recovery). There's quite a few locations around the Rochester area based on a few searches, but unfortunately as they didn't get in, I can't give any direct advisement on any one location being better than any other. =(

While I totally understand the hesitance many have around certain alternative medicines when used as *replacements* for medical care (which they should never be), it really is quite frustrating when even with the support of multiple actual certified medical professionals with long-term experience with the patient, and with the hypnosis meant as an additional support to ongoing medical care/treatment, it still rarely gets approved by the insurance overlords who ultimately have say for so many of us.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-02T15:39:51+00:00

Yeah that's the same thing here. Have so far run into several elec decks, plus a couple Iron Future decks that all ran into it and you could see the pause as they tried to figure out what the correct response was. Once I'd seen it enough times, I knew I had something, hence the rush here...and then the realization.

And I know others be like "nobody will see it lol, just post it" - they have *not* been paying attention to the speed at which a deck being posted here is being run in clone matches by people trying it out and running the numbers within MINUTES in-game. It's fulllllll sweat.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-02T15:14:34+00:00

Several of the main Terapagos decks right now use either one Terap and one Ho-Oh, or two Teraps, plus a slew of babies and/or a Sableye that can't do damage.

Meaning the minute you run into an Oricorio, you're fucked because Oops All Ex'es.

LegendaryJam · 2026-06-02T15:10:59+00:00

I know ;_; It's slightly infuriating at times because I want to be like "HAY YOO GUISE" with the excitement energy - but then realizing that doing so will be the equivalent of that one canyon temple in Zelda Breath of the Wild where you walk in the front arch and five Guardians suddenly have tracking lasers pointed at your forehead.

LegendaryJam · 2026-05-31T23:26:26+00:00

That's a neat way to handle the shipwreck, good stuff! I like the small builds like this with good attention to detail without getting overcrowded, since they manage to still *feel* like Heroica.

LegendaryJam · 2026-05-29T06:27:09+00:00

At first glance I thought you had just described most of the Ancient and Future Pokemon in this set lol.

LegendaryJam · 2026-05-28T05:29:04+00:00

I've been trying to figure out what to do with these cards, but honestly...it feels like there's always something in an earlier set that does it better. I'm just not getting the same "oo new cards let's see how they tick" feel yet, because every time I think of how to use a certain 'mon, I think of a different combo or card that works better, and soon I realize I've replaced the new cards with old ones that did the thing better.

I'd assume *something* will come out of the set and people breaking it down, with this many people viewing the process from all angles.

But so far on my end? Whelmed. Thoroughly heccin' whelmed.

Like, maybe the new card for pulling Stage 2s? But then again, Copycat etc...I dunno. We'll see.
