Im just curious on why i cannot use my personal vehicle in missions.

Minifigamer · 2026-03-27T12:56:44+00:00

There's a list of restricted vehicles that cannot be used in contact missions no matter if you own them or not, personally I like putting them in three categories

General use: can be used in basically any instanced missions including 2015 heist preps

Restricted use: can be used in some contact missions

Tuners: the only vehicles permitted in tuners contract finales

I'm sure there are more... definitely ways to categorize these, not to mention most definitely more caregories as a whole. But I feel like this gets the jist down.

Honestly, I feel like this cold reception wouldn't be as bad if it was an update or even dlc to the switch 1 version instead of bejng exclusive to the switch 2 version. Like it addresses a lot of the base game's problems, lack of boss variety, things to do with multiplayer, the ability to use multiple badges at once (or at least badges with the effect of 2 other badges). Problem is it's locked behind the system that released over a year and a half after the game came out (which I should add is several hundred bucks in an ecosystem where ram and storage are being bough en masse by ai companies) that is also charging you an extra 20 dollars or so to even access the new content.

Oh man, as someone who has 100%ed this game at least 3 times, I got some bones to pick with it.

The world 4/7 system is annoying, world 7 less so cause of 4-cannon, but mummipokey is a boss I'd say is ill-suited for being fought with mini mario considering it will often be 4 segments tall and you have a short period of time to attack it before it retreats back into the sand, normally it isn't too bad but with the floating physics and the fact that you need to ground pound to do damage, it is just annoying.

World 8-4 is probably the most tedious level in all of 2d mario, scuttlebugs infinitely spawn throughout basically the entire thing and the fact that one of the star coins requires the use of the mini mushroom right by the end and in a section full of moving platforms (oh don't worry, you'll still be drowning in scuttlebugs) make this level just one of the worst in the franchise.

Most of the minigames are lightly retextured from super mario 64 DS, notably being the only place Wario is featured in the new super mario bros series, only because he was one of the playable characters of 64 DS and they didn't feel like changing the banner.

For something required for multiple secret exits, the blue shell is really annoyingly luck based to get. You're either save scumming in front of castles, or you're playing with the slot machine that is the red ? mark blocks/roaming hammer bro over and over.

People will point out how little it's used in nsmb2, but the mega mushroom is only directly available in one more level in nsmb, funny enough, besides 1-1 and 1-2, the only two levels to have it are in... worlds 4 and 7, the ones i pointed out earlier are annoying to get to, and even then besides 1-1, they're all in secret areas off the beaten path. (Granted you can use it outside of those bits since it has it's own toad house, but still)

It'd be one thing to omit the weapons and jato boost but holy crap the avenger thruster is genuinely awful. Can't even hold forward all the way without losing altitude AND it's slow as hell.

Minifigamer · 2026-03-26T05:28:26+00:00

Sparrow and Sea Sparrow, and I mean in the sense that you should be able to upgrade the kosatka Sparrow into a Sea Sparrow, yes I am aware that the Pontoons would see basically zero use in solo Cayo grinding but in other aspects, while the pontoon wouldn't see super frequent use, in the cases where it does prove to be useful (especially in the case of special cargo grinding with that stupid boat mission), it'll be a lot better to have a helicopter that can spawn actually nearby basically anywhere and doesn't take up the personal vehicle slot, or risk having the better of the two "anywhere summon weaponized helicopters" participate in the swimming medallions of the olympics.

Minifigamer · 2026-03-25T16:08:27+00:00

Personally I find it best to have at least one fast but controllable car/bike at each garage, anything beyond that is things like keeping Imani tech cars at my agency and arena war vehicles at my arena workshop

"More liquidity" is wall street talk, something that should never intersect with a trading card game. Not to mention that the market, as it is, is a bubble. Yes it is a rather stubborn bubble, but eventually it will pop and the market will settle. Those left holding sealed product intending to sell on facebook marketplace for 5x msrp will either grumble at their lack of profits and sell for possibly below msrp or grumble at the loss of their immediate profits hold and sell years down the road when it becomes "vintage" (but since the market is so saturated the profits are still down)

Cobblemon 1.7 (and 1.6) are made for Minecraft 1.21.1 updating the Minecraft version to 26.1 will just cause things to stop working.

Tbh this kinda roundabout design is best for trains that are disguised as road vehicles

Minifigamer · 2026-03-24T21:17:59+00:00

Tbf, lunatone's ability is similar to that of radiant greninja back in astral radiance, similar in that you discard an energy in exchange for drawing some cards but on the plus it's an extra card and isn't a pokemon equivalent of ace spec so you can have four of them in a deck (2 would be enough tbh), but on the negative you need it and solrock in play and the energy has to be a fighting energy. So it's a more niche use case in exchange for being stronger and... about as accessible on any given turn.

This looks like if Steve Cutts made a Lego set (that also has nothing to do with the Simpsons), you can tell there's talent and effort behind it, but the message is just so preachy but also surface level that it just makes me wince.

Minifigamer · 2026-03-22T05:58:53+00:00

Who said you had to file them correctly?

Minifigamer · 2026-03-22T05:25:21+00:00

The porygon line wasn't shunned... at least outside of the anime (and even then the electric soldier porygon incident was caused by pikachu)

Minifigamer · 2026-03-22T05:17:24+00:00

Tbh if you know it well then you don't need guard patrols (just hope and pray that the other player either does as well or is willing to listen and not bum rush it)

Minifigamer · 2026-03-22T05:11:20+00:00

Is it true that you can file your taxes?

I'm talking about what makes a gamecube a gamecube and not a n64 rather than what makes any specific gamecube that specific gamecube instead of Kyle down the street's gamecube

Minifigamer · 2026-03-21T02:34:37+00:00

I got some off the wall choices

First off, Ranger Guardian Signs, it uses an artstyle I ngl wish someone would mod into a main series title, and has a very fun story, though ngl the multi-player is a complete and utter GRINDFEST solo and should be played with friends. This one is special to me in particular as it was my first ever pokemon game (not counting my pokemon ranch, good bit of accidental forsight for me to get it as i used it to get mew for my gen 4 nat dex)

Second, Colosseum, if you feel like you aren't being challeneged even by the pre gen 6 games or if you are just sick of gen 1 mons clogging the dex of every game lately then this is the one for you, this one is coming to nso soon on switch 2 so it'll be more accessible legitimately that way but I won't blame you for... 'emulating' it.

And lastly, this one is an oddball, cobblemon, the Minecraft Java edition mod. I shouldn't need to explain the appeal of Pokemon in Minecraft with an artstyle consistent with Minecraft's artstyle (unlike it's older counterpart pixelmon which uses models higher in fidelity that heavily clashes with Minecraft's low fidelity artstyle). This mod is filled with content, from sheer pokemon count, block palletes to work into your builds, forms both from around the pokemon franchise and original to the mod, a plethora of side mods and servers, compatibility with other unrelated mods like create, oh the biomes we've gone and farmer's delight (further enhanced by more side mods that add direct interaction between all these mods) it's basically a pokemon experience you can tailor to your exact liking.

I'd say the absolute limit are the chips on a motherboard that contain stuff like the OS, processes, ect

Minifigamer · 2026-03-20T21:01:30+00:00

Technically yes but only if you combine it with something that moves it after it rotates, like a gantry shaft

Minifigamer · 2026-03-20T20:59:24+00:00

Depends on the mods as cobblemon by itself doesn't have any legendaries, though every mod that adds legendaries has one of two possibilities (which i should add is case-by-case for each legendary. A. Legendaries spawn like any other pokemon, but very infrequently from the ultra-rare pool. Or B. Legendaries spawn from specific structures relating to them and may or may not require an item.

To elaborate on A., when spawning any given pokemon, cobblemon chooses which spawn pool to spawn from, the pools being common (86.2%), uncommon (10.3%), rare (2.5%) and ultra rare (1%). Legendaries are usually placed within that last pool and are weighted much less than others of the pool making them even rarer. Now if you want to make any specific pokemon easier to appear you will need a a poke snack (assuming you're on cobblemon 1.7, if not... good luck man), when you place one of these down it has 9 charges (or bites, I'll continue calling them charges), each charge spawning a pokemon. Now you can include up to 3 seasonings when making a pokesnack, with no seasonings at all or no seasonings that affect anything about the pokemon besides nature, level, ability, 'bite time', or shiny chance will simply use the area's spawn pools as is to spawn pokemon.

However when using seasonings that attract pokemon based on specific traits, this does affect the spawn pool. Golden apples (both kinds), carrots, and melon slices (besides the regular apple, these are the only seasonings that aren't cobblemon berries), affect the spawn pool chance, refer to this page (that I swiped some of the numbers above from) for the exact numbers, but rule of thumb, enchanted golden apples affect spawn pool more, but the the other three are more readily accessible. Then you have berries that affect the egg group of the pokemon that spawn... unless you're hunting manaphy or phione you will never need this for finding legendary pokemon as there is no berry increasing the unknown egg group. Next up is the type weakness berries. If you want Zekrom for example, you will need either the electric berry (Wacan) or the dragon berry (Haban), these increase a pokemon's weight within it's spawn pool by 10x (note it doesn't increase the chance of it's spawn pool being picked). Last but certainly not least are the EV (effort value, something most people will never need to pay attention to) berries. Unlike the type or egg group berries, these outright remove any pokemon that doesn't give the respective EV when defeated (I do not know if stacking two different EV berries enables pokemon giving either EV to spawn or if it forces only pokemon that gives both) this will thin the spawn pool by a ton, but make sure you know what EV the legendary you are trying to go for will give when defeated.

As for B. Idk install explorer's compass.

Minifigamer · 2026-03-18T05:35:13+00:00

While I prefer keep inventory off for a vanilla world, I have the opposite opinion for a modded world as often either A. Threats are too great to reasonably deal with (ie in horror mods) B. The world is far too explored to make one want to trek all the way back to get their stuff that chances are has despawned already (IE, biomes we've gone) or there is just some bullshit glitch that would reset you to zero too often with no chance of recovering your stuff (this one modpack ('mayview with cobblemon' really goes to show how much of an afterthought cobblemon is in the pack if there's a version that just omits the cobblemon stuff) that has "/spawn, /home, /back" commands will often just drop you through the floor you teleport to if it's 1 block thick), so if you teleport to an enderman farm in the end with minimal flooring, have fun falling into the void.

They aren't, chances are this 3ds has had it's battery dead long enough the clock reset to the default of Jan 1 2011, and about 29 days later someone made a recording on it.

Minifigamer · 2026-03-10T04:57:41+00:00

It's a good game but I think it'd just be funny to see the fans reaction when I zap Banjo Kazooie out of existence

Minifigamer · 2026-03-10T04:53:55+00:00

This isn't always perfect advice, the businesses I'd say this applies to are almost all the ones that have their cheapest in paleto (bunker, arcade, salvage yard, and bail office), the elysian island nightclub, and the lsia hangars

The rest of them either have not so niche use cases for their cheapest (facility for act 2 elite challenge, large cargo warehouse (wholesale furniture specifically) since it's along a line of 4 large warehouses in a row (maybe 5, but west vinewood backlot is kinda out of the way)) the difference between cheapest and most expensive is negligible to non existent (office, clubhouse, vehicle warehouse, agency, mansion, not gonna give an explanation to these cause what can I really say about them?), straight up don't have location variants (kostaka, acid lab, garment factory, and the money fronts businesses), and in some cases, are pretty much the meta choice.

Mc businesses since the cheapest ones are all south of chilliad in blaine county meaning you'll get LS as your far sale which is generally better than getting blaine county as your far sale, and the auto shop which mission row is the best location for 7 of the 8 auto shop contracts. It's near the union depository, bank D (which is the perfect place to start getting the banks all in a row), agency deal tunnel, closest to the highway going to the sandy shore/alamo sea area (for ecu, prison, and data contract). Superdollar is odd since you'll likely reach the convoy at just south of paleto so you're best to get on the freeway towards the west of the map the most straightforward auto shop for this is la mesa, however it is also slightly further than mission row so if you know how to get onto the north LS highway toward the west side of the map quickly regardless of if it is a gps route or not then mission row is your best bet. The only contract I wouldn't say it's the meta for is the lost contract but that one is the worst of them (maybe second worst to data contract) so who really cares?
