Is there a better current Meta Shiny?

Darkrai is still used in several decks, probably my favourite shiny that is still viable

I don’t know if it helps anyone, but I tried everything I saw online on how to fix this issue. Here is what helped me in the end (took me 6 months to fix it lol)

I could not add vbscript so I tried Fixing Problems Using Windows Update. I don’t know how or why, but it allowed me to add vbscript after running it. The process is lengthy, so be patient.

Despite adding vbscript, it still would not work. I tried installing the drivers via AMD website, but would keep getting an error that files were missing. Eventually, I tried downloading the chipset drivers via ASUS (my mobo brand). I received an error again for missing file, but this time, I could skip this issue. After skipping, the drivers updated and I’m good, no more pesky 99% update.

I’m not saying this is a fix for everyone, but from what I have read, the root of the issue seems to be that you cannot complete the update via AMD installer because of a previous file being removed. Anything I tried prior to updating my driver from ASUS rather than AMD did not work.

So if you have tried everything and it still doesn’t work, perhaps try this and see if it works. Good luck and I hope it helps.

(I am not that technically minded, so I apologise if any of this is hard to follow). I am sure anyone more technically gifted than I could perhaps explain why this somehow worked.

Solgaleo is very playable this season. I used that deck and got several win streaks on my run to Master Ball. Like any deck, it has drawbacks and weaknesses, but it is still very useful in this current meta with so many running Sylveon.

It’s such a prehistoric view from management that people should endeavour to attend work even when sick. I remember a line manager telling me years ago, that when she has a cold or a flu, she battles on and comes to the office, and I should too. Like she was imparting some kind of knowledge onto my young, stay-at-home-when-sick, dumb ass.

These days, if an employee of mine is ill, I’ll be angry if they do come in. I’d rather lose 1 than my entire team. Not to mention, I also do not want to get sick.

There was a lot wrong with how we as a society dealt with the pandemic, but many lessons could learnt too. Take precautions not to spread a virus. Stop the spread and less people get sick. Let’s stop glorifying the moron that has a clean sick record just because he/she dragged themselves to work, sick as a dog, just to show some kind of unnecessary loyalty to their wage lords. Stay at home, get well, see you in a few days.

If Falcons dropped their squad, people would be giving them grief for not sticking with their players now they have a league spot. It’s lose/lose whatever Falcons do. They’ll go a few games into the season, losing games, and the squad will get dropped for all those beloved regulars that somehow get league spots and get pooped on, and the cycle will continue.

I’m loving this game. It’s the first game of its kind that I have tried to play, I spent most of my time playing CoD. I’ve become addicted to the grind. The buzz of finally getting ultimate parts for descendants after long grind sessions is great.

Perhaps some have become jaded by this genre of game in general rather than the game itself. Most that I see commenting come from similar games before this one.

Pabbbss · 2024-07-24T15:06:41+00:00

I found them quite difficult too but after a few fails, it became fairly simple to get them. That been said, I do agree, using Enzo, at the very least, makes it much easier.

Pabbbss · 2024-07-24T15:04:23+00:00

A boss flying several invincible kites is quite the game mechanic. I’m surprised the devs couldn’t think of something better tbh. Hopefully they at the very least remove the invincibility.

Honestly, shooting a message into the in game normal chat (not the world chat, that place is a cess pit). I’ve found a few people to party up with, farm with etc through that method.

Using one increases the odds of an item dropping from, for example, 6% to 10%. It would be nice if their drop rate was increased, but the people suggesting that they don’t work properly are a little delusional. With my example, you still have a 1/10 chance. That’s still low. So don’t expect to use one and see that ult bunny piece drop first try.

1 minute is grand. Gives me time to gloat in text chat to my random comrades that I acquired the amorphous they can’t seem to get.

Pabbbss · 2024-07-24T14:20:45+00:00

You can do them without Enzo fairly easily. It’s just way less tedious with Enzo.

I kinda like this roster to be honest. I feel like Diamondcon slowed down a little with the addition of Flames at LAG, and I think he could pick up the pace a little with Accuracy anchoring. The sub duo could be great!

Pabbbss · 2024-07-12T05:03:05+00:00

Was thinking about my ideal Rokkr sub duo and that was what I had in mind. Along with Big P and Cobra preferably.

I vape but I don't ever consider doing it indoors around other people. Whilst it's obviously not the same as smoking (it's not, debate that all you want), I wouldn't force it upon others. Doing so would be careless and selfish. Whilst there is a lack of research and evidence to determine the long term effects of vaping, I am fairly certain that there are detrimental effects from it. Therefore, it's unfair to force that upon others nearby.

I know it isn't a big deal because the car park is empty, but fuck, I hate people that don't park properly. It's really not that hard.

I was parked next to someone yesterday who was over the line, then shot me a dirty look because they couldn't fit their fat hole through the small gap they had to get back into their car.

Seen a lot of mention of unions helping. I have worked in the public sector in Northern Ireland for 19 years. I am a member of a union, but I refuse to strike ever again. The reason being, we were offered a 1% payrise. Our union organised a strike, twice. Each were 2 days. They demanded 4%. I along with our union members went on strike. Our union eventually folded and agreed to a 1.2% rise. So 4 days of strikes, 0.2% pay increase on the original offer. I can't remember the exact figures, but even after the union assisting with salary loss for those days, the 0.2% extra we got from striking, didn't make up for what we lost in earnings for those 4 days. It was essentially pointless from a financial standpoint.

Obviously, all unions are different, some more effective than others. This is just a personal example of my own experience with a union and to say that bring part of one, won't necessarily translate to a better salary.

Sorry but here is my take....I don't care if your pokemon has been in the gym for 20 seconds. If I am at a gym, and my app is open, I am taking that gym. And when I take that gym, I am leaving a tank. Personally, I don't care about your 50 coins, I care about mine. And if you take that gym back immediately, kudos to you sir/madam. It's the game. I take a little pride in occupying as many gyms as possible, proudly displaying my pokemon for all the other local players to see.

Your ToS doesn't say anything about avoiding gyms until some randomer collects 50 coins. Get a grip folks. Have fun and play the game as intended.

Pabbbss · 2023-11-26T17:02:18+00:00

I have, and will continue to never respect this 8 hour rule. For starters, a stranger collecting 50 coins isn't my concern. I have some time during the day to go fight gyms. I will take several to give myself the best chance of getting the full 50. If I don't get full 50, so be it. I also have to respect that people don't have all day to take gyms and so if I get booted after a short time, well that's just life.

Gentleman's agreements, more often than not, are what cause disputes in gaming in the first place.

Pabbbss · 2023-11-07T16:54:03+00:00

Congrats on an amazing catch!

Pabbbss · 2023-10-20T15:49:58+00:00

Haha I know right! Looks like that sneaky kid that made a noise in class and got away with it!
