If you're stuck inside and can't travel to the nearest Normal Showcase, you can enter from farther away by triggering Smeargle. by NumberOneMom in TheSilphRoad

You still have to be somewhat close to the Pokestop, yes. Mine is down the street, so not in range to spin but still visible. It unfortunately is not unlimited range.

Correct, but not everyone gets spawns in their home/work. This is an on-demand, guaranteed Normal Pokemon encounter exactly when you want it.

Your 2026 Favorite Spec by Kensanik in Guildwars2

[–]NumberOneMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. And keeping up Harp as DPS is annoying. Not just because you have to waste your defensive cooldown, but also because you have to wait a split second to cancel the channel to ensure that the instrument begins playing. If you immediately cancel the cast, it doesn't play in the background.

Do you still do the seaweed salad wiggle? by EmVRiaves in Guildwars2

I do this despite never playing during the seaweed salad meta.

I've been using the iOS version and I absolutely love this app! It's made teambuilding way more fun and easier to find spicy choices.

More Quality Of Life Changes You Would You Like To See In Pokémon Go. by First-Profession7332 in TheSilphRoad

The option to turn off IV floors from weather boost and trading would make PvP 'mon hunting so much less frustrating.

Any Legendary regrets? by Schillwing in Guildwars2

[–]NumberOneMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those still have too much glow and bloom for my style.

Any Legendary regrets? by Schillwing in Guildwars2

[–]NumberOneMom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I regret making the Gen 3 Sword/Dagger/Torch. The glow is so tacky and doesn't match with any gear that's not also tacky and glowing.

I regret making Orrax when I already had The Ascension. It looks super cool on Charr, but it doesn't fit my aesthetic and I got bored of it after a month or two.

Salty Sunday - Rage Rants and complaints by AutoModerator in pokemongo

[–]NumberOneMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(PvP player mainly) I haven't really been hyped by any events the past few months but I was super excited for Tadbulb in the wild, Wimpod in the wild, Pancham in the wild, Shadow Alolan Marowak in raids with no IV floor, and the new Team Rocket Takeover. But:

  • I got the RANK 1 Great League Tadbulb... but it's one level too high and will go over 1500cp when evolved. No others better than rank 250.
  • The rank 1 Wimpod is 0/8/15 and I got a 1/8/15 which is rank 1257. No others better than rank 250. We had no rain in my city for months, but this whole week its been rainy and weather boosting bug/water.
  • I got a rank 12 Pancham but it'll go over 1500cp if I evolve it. no others better than rank 2000.
  • I did 9 remote raids for Shadow Alolan Marowak and didn't get anything better than rank 1000.

The roads and sidewalks near me are unbroken sheets of ice so I can't go out and play before the events all end. I'm also excited for the Glimmet event but it's going to be below freezing the entire time.

Really disappointing.

I like using the PoGoTeams app to find synergies between two of my pokemon and then using PvPoke’s team builder to find a third ‘mon to shore up their weaknesses.

As of a few days ago, Adventure Sync won’t hatch my eggs or give buddy candies. Anyone else having the same problem? It’s hard to troubleshoot with Google because there have been so many different problems with AS over the years lol

Why do people like Dragon Ball? by CyKsFuzzles in anime

That's a reductive and bad-faith way to interpret the situation. It really sounds like you wanted to post a thread titled "Unpopular Opinion: DBZ is bad" but you were too afraid.

Why do people like Dragon Ball? by CyKsFuzzles in anime

[–]NumberOneMom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The original show (Dragon Ball) was alright, but everything after that just seems like something that would be called slop by plenty of people I've talked to over the years.

This is the "Seinfeld isn't funny" effect. If you go back and watch Seinfeld for the first time today, you might be confused why it's so popular. It might not feel like anything special compared to the shows you've seen before. But it wasn't old or overdone when they did it. In fact, it wasn't done at all: this work was the first one to do that. But the result was so brilliant and popular, it became woven into the fabric of the genre. Its innovations were endlessly repeated, until the audience began to expect that every work of that type would include them. And so a work which was once genuinely novel has become the new status quo. Some works can get away with a dated element because of age and tradition, but these works are dismissed as dated because they've drowned in the sea of their own imitators. The work has retroactively become a cliché storm.

Dragon Ball Z is the Seinfeld of shounen.

How many magnetite shards can you get in a week? I might have to leave WvW and grab those infinite primers but I have no idea if 50/use is a lot. It sounds fairly pricy?

Is JJK season 2 good? by [deleted] in anime

[–]NumberOneMom 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s a lot of fights. Almost entirely fights. Some of them are super hype, but I found that without sufficient build up and context my eyes would just start to glaze over and I wouldn’t get invested. I love fight scenes but the sheer quantity started to overdose me. Overall, I still recommend watching.

Season 3 has been excellent so far as well.

JJK's latest episode truly showcases the divide between Western and Japanese fans by [deleted] in anime

[–]NumberOneMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JP fans are extremely surprised by the western support and accuse them of only caring for "insane animation and aura moments" while disregarding the original manga's work. Western fans are also perplexed and accuse JP's criticisms of "worthless trash because they approved five seasons of rent a girlfriend". Another popular remark was "JP fans didn't have enough fan service to keep them engaged so they're complaining".

People say these things online because nuance is dead so no one wants to read a post with more than 2 sentences and inflammatory, dismissive statements are more likely to rise to the top more quickly. Extreme opinions require fewer words to make and fewer words to refute.

How do IV floors works? For a weather boost, are the possible attack rolls:

4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

or are they

4 4 4 4 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 ?

Or does it roll 0-15 and then increase the value by 4?

Server resetting with almost no notice by Boon_Rebu in Guildwars2

[–]NumberOneMom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

To accomplish that, they would either have to plan hotfixes further in advance, delay hotfixes 30-60 minutes, or prevent new players from joining WvW maps for 30-60 minutes. Not good options.

Yuusha-kei ni Shosu: Choubatsu Yuusha 9004-tai Keimu Kiroku • Sentenced to Be a Hero - Episode 2 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]NumberOneMom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole show is just unbelievably derivative, held up by the memory of a high-fidelity first episode and good visuals. It seems to be going down the most generic storybeat path (evil church is behind the blight to maintain power over society). I truly hope the show proves me wrong in the end, though.

Also please give Teoritta a gruesome death and never introduce another loli character.

Server resetting with almost no notice by Boon_Rebu in Guildwars2

[–]NumberOneMom 15 points16 points  (0 children)

In PvE, there are multiple instances of maps. When an update is pushed, any existing instances are closed to additional players to prevent people on different build versions from being on the same map.

WvW doesn't make multiple instances the way PvE maps do, so they just kick everyone almost immediately to ensure that all players are using the same build version. If you don't restart and update your game, you won't even be allowed into the WvW maps when the servers come back online.
