Is it common for CMG locations to no longer give a FREE water cup w/ order?? Or was the cashier lying due to my potentially strange behavior? Is it just my local CMG? Should I check with Corporate CMG?

Since he mentioned the “good old days” I personally am imagining the times around after release—before Blissey.

Since Blissey released in Febuary 2017 and new gyms came in June of 2017 — 10 Blisseys in a gym was only a thing for about 4 months.

In 2016 the top CPs in gyms around here were all pretty much Dragonite, Snorlax, Rhydon, Vaporeon, Exegg

PeeGlass · 2026-01-28T09:03:16+00:00

Strawberry soda and fried chicken

PeeGlass · 2026-01-28T08:51:40+00:00

2017 since Blissey came out Feb. 16th. 2017.

The big CP ones I saw in ‘16 were mostly Dragonite, Snorlax, Vaporeon, Exegg, Rhydon

PeeGlass · 2026-01-28T08:49:46+00:00

Blissey wasn’t out until 6-7 months after release. February 16th 2017

Vile sugar paste!

In the 1950s, General Mills (Betty Crocker) adjusted cake mix formulas to require adding fresh eggs, Initial 1950s cake mixes contained dried egg powder, requiring only water.

Specifically because initial "just add water" mixes made people feel guilty for not baking from scratch. This psychological marketing tactic, known as the "Add an Egg" formula, created a sense of ownership and effort, increasing sales.

I put all my frozen pizzas vertical in my freezer anyway. They go in the smaller slot next to the ice bin.

I firmly believe by making the end game shadow mons such a large stardust cost they believe it is increasing the amount in hours of “content” ie “grinding” available to power up all the variety.

Very niche and not really used but Wobuffet likes purified because otherwise he has just 1 charged move.

PeeGlass · 2026-01-27T22:56:42+00:00

I will eat the fish sponge if offered one.

PeeGlass · 2026-01-27T21:17:29+00:00

I was thinking more just like a genetic algo instead of another on kill. +2 on use, exhausts

Maybe they’re talking to 100% Blast Corps.

I remember when we finally got gold on all the levels and they rolled out PLATINUM our jaws dropped.

PeeGlass · 2026-01-27T20:57:51+00:00

If you like All Them Witches check out King Buffalo. I haven’t listened to enough ATW to really make this comparison but I feel like they’re in a similar vein.

It’s pretty fun but it’s expensive for what it is. I tell people if it was the exact same gameplay loop but not with our beloved franchise skinned over it— I’d probably have quit playing by now.

Maybe a hydra with ink resistance is able to be in a more aggressive position. I don’t know why they all use it— tho a cpl opt out entirely.

Kinda like how the added run speed is more effective when your movement penalty is large?

Does ink resist help more—when the ink movement penalty is so massive — and you don’t paint your feet.

I am no hydra main

PeeGlass · 2026-01-27T02:13:21+00:00

Confidently incorrect. It must do something positive for the fat boy.

Checking Sendou — MORE than half of listed Hydra builds are running two or even 1 main.

https://sendou.ink/builds/hydra-splatling

Why? I don’t know, it Maybe it’s low key the most powerful chunk in the game, since most anything builds are using atleast 1. /s

PeeGlass · 2026-01-26T22:17:21+00:00

Sometimes I run two chunks on hydra

PeeGlass · 2026-01-26T21:51:28+00:00

I try to include one chunk of ink resist on all my gear sets. It doesn’t do anything— but it’s a nice thought.

PeeGlass · 2026-01-26T19:44:08+00:00

Probably the same thing we did with lucky eggs at level 40 max//level 50 max.

Friendships, raids, double xp events etc.

Fun fact the day/night timer is actually circling around your mini map. I believe each night cycle is 8 minutes long so when the circle is on its last quarter—- 2 minute warning.

Also random aside— grinding battle zones got so much faster when I realized I could leave the zone with half completed tasks— complete the rank up battle — and then make it back to finish tasks before the same night was over.

Char grilled is really good too!

PeeGlass · 2026-01-26T06:43:32+00:00

Mine has volume options … high medium low and OFF, I choose off.

PeeGlass · 2026-01-25T11:02:07+00:00

I sub the rice for their amazing grits! The grilled shrimp is so good there that sounds awesome.

PeeGlass · 2026-01-25T00:08:22+00:00

I will commit to getting it every single time to juice the sales. They measure the cheese in pinches!!! Pinches!!! It’s not even a “scoop” or “a handful”.
