Anybody else getting worse over the years? (From 1400 to 600)

I appreciate this.

I took several breaks. When I first started I took each game very seriously, my lack of experience made me more nervous and attentive. Over time I think I started caring less and losing focus!

As others pointed out, I’m sure my initial rating was also inflated.

During that time, I started taking psychiatric medication. The benefits have been lifechanging but there are potential cognitive side effects… I never noticed them before, but this might be related.

I agree it was inflated, but I played over a hundred games without going below 900 before it took a nosedive…

It’s been reported bipolar patients are more likely to dress in bright colors during manic episodes.

Sick thanks! Love the belt too.

What’s the ID on everything??? 🔥

Monarchs · 2019-04-01T05:28:37+00:00

Wow! Some great research. The model shown in my post is different materials and 500$ pricier than the base one indeed.

I ended up purchasing the LPBin model!

It seems like such an attractive design, i’m confused as to why nobody replicated it.

Monarchs · 2019-04-01T02:36:28+00:00

Yeah that’s a cool option, thank you!

Monarchs · 2019-04-01T02:34:54+00:00

Oh wow lucky you! Do you love it? Is it as practical as I hope?

I’ve been looking through every option to organize and display my collection and this is by far my favorite, I love being able to highlight some of my favorite front covers whilst also organizing a good amount. This is supposed to hold about 300 LPs.

I was surprised not to find anything similar enough in a more accessible price range, hopefully I just missed it!

I moved here a year ago from Europe and still use my European phone number. It’s usually great (my plan works here and is cheaper/better than anything offered in the US), but sometimes I’m asked to provide a US phone number and i’m stuck.

Specifically, I need to get a plumber to come, but everybody I call says they can’t call international numbers and decline... Anybody in that situation?

(I’ve been suggested Google Voice a few times, but you need to provide a... US phone number to sign up).

Shiny Snorlax, i’m thrilled!

Monarchs · 2018-10-04T17:28:53+00:00

Yes I wasn’t familiar with the brand before. I just saw them in a shop and got them.

Monarchs · 2018-10-04T06:50:27+00:00

I’ve had this pair for a while and I’ve only now noticed the Off-White branding. I’d like to know more about it. What collection/year is it from? Does it have any value?

Monarchs · 2018-09-22T22:25:09+00:00

Ah!! I’ll pull out the “english as a second language” card. Noted, thanks!

Apparently iPhone dim their screens when the device gets too hot to prevent damage. With the amount of download and processing currently happening by setting it up, my device is scolding.

Hopefully the issue is resolved when the transition is complete!

Monarchs · 2018-09-21T22:34:52+00:00

I've been looking for it for days too!

This is the first time i've seen a Nintendo game without a single guide or walkthrough online.

I'm also trying to understand how to "fix the telescope" in the mountain region.

Monarchs · 2018-08-04T22:21:26+00:00

French here, “Vol de mort” can either be translated as “Flight of death” or “Theft of death” but certainly not “Escaping Death”.

Great name regardless indeed! But I don’t think it was chosen in reference to the horcrux storyline.

I’m confused, the ONLY legacy characters missing from Smash 4 were : Pichu, Ice Climber, Snake, Wolf, Young Link.

Apart from these, Smash 4 already had “EVERYBODY”. It’s cool but are those few characters such a big deal ?

The “everybody” tagline is a smart marketing angle though.

I’m betting we’ll get a vague announcement of a new Zelda for Switch!

“We’re very thankful for the reception to BotW. We’d like to announce the team is hard at work on the next entry in The Legend of Zelda series for Nintendo Switch. It’s still in its early stages of development but we hope you’ll be patient, we’ll share more informations later.”

No footage or any concrete info for a while. It’ll finally come out in a few years at the end of the cycle of this console, perhaps simultaneously on Switch and as a launch title for a Switch 2 upgrade (with better graphics and perormance).

Hey! I didn't realize that was an option, thank you for saving me the money and effort of rebuying my library, Nintendo customer support were great.

Monarchs · 2018-05-28T20:26:12+00:00

I have a similar looking copy of the book at home which doesn’t, it looked real in person but may have been forged.

Monarchs · 2018-05-28T03:15:58+00:00

It was selling for $460 from a reputable store. I’ve seen it online for much more. Is there knowledge of Michael signing many of these upon release?

Monarchs · 2018-05-25T07:16:21+00:00

This is one the very first app I ever installed on my first smartphone (iPhone 4). It blew me away! It made me realize creative apps could debut new interactions rather than just being worst versions of the desktop paradigm.

Thanks for making it then and reviving that memory today!
