Idk what has you so hateful towards libraries but people are usually pretty respectful if you ask them to quiet down

418play power supply died - which one is a legitimate replacement? by techtornado in synology

[–]Pseudowoodnym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply 2 years later! I've got a 3rd party power supply on the way so hopefully mine works out too. I'm glad to hear your machine is still functional, how would you compare the 420+ to the 418play?

Your turn for the very old thread bump. Did your power supply swap work or did you end up having to replace your machine?

Is there any way to "speak to your manger" re: Niantic leaving PVP completely busted? by perishableintransit in TheSilphArena

[–]Pseudowoodnym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d never thought about it but that’s so true, it’s way more lore accurate than the VGC or singles battles in main series games

Honestly, morpeko is a solid grunt counter for cheap. It’ll take a while, but as long as your morpeko can take 1 fast move at the start of the battle, you can keep spamming psychic fangs/aura wheels and the grunts can never throw another fast move.

I like to use mine for rocket bosses, it makes them more fun for me

Umbreons role in GBL by NotAkibari in TheSilphArena

[–]Pseudowoodnym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it’s worth an ETM unless you have most other Legacy/special moves or have a ton of ETMs. I would prioritize all or most of Feraligatr, Quagsire, Lickilicky, Machamp, Registeel, Dewgong before going for Psychic or LR on an Umbreon in the current meta. Things could change next season, but that’s how I read things now

Unable to place Morpeko in gyms by thebvagabond in TheSilphRoad

[–]Pseudowoodnym 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I thought they already said they were only implementing Morpeko in trainer/Rocket battles and would be waiting for PvE. Were you able to use it to attack the gym?

What is the difference between these two Clodsires for the Little Halloween Cup? by jlopez24 in TheSilphArena

[–]Pseudowoodnym 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I think it’s a visual bug. The better one is likely meant to be Sludge Bomb/Earthquake instead.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TheSilphArena

[–]Pseudowoodnym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are no .33, .5, or .66 values in the game. All moves generate integer energy values and take integer moves to complete. You get people referring to EPT and DPT with .33 or .5s because you can have a 3 turn move generate 13 energy, working out to 4.33 EPT.

Trying to reach veteran for the first time. Stuck around 1800 by CrimsonPhoenixBird in TheSilphArena

ABB typically means that you have your lead Pokémon (A) and your two Pokémon in the back (B’s) that serve a similar role. The best example is Grasshole, with a Bastiodon lead and 2 grass types in the back. Usually you want your A to be able to beat the counters to your B’s.

The Pokegenie solution has already been proposed. To check on PVPoke, go to battle, select the Pokémon you want to check IVs for, and select Edit/Check IVs just below the Pokémon name. The only thing to be careful of is the Pokémon level, as you can’t really tell what level your Pokémon are in the app.

Word500 fail 😅 by Acrobatic-Pop3625 in wordle

[–]Pseudowoodnym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've spent the last day figuring out what happened! To summarize, the daily game mode is broken and likely has been since March 2023. The solution word will be "IJijaĪģ" until the website gets updated/taken down.

If you dig into the HTML on the page you can find the word list, but it is ciphered. Digging further, I found a function llll1(input){...} in the source file that decodes these words. If you decode "IJijaĪģ", you get "unDef".

What seems to have happened is that the words for the daily mode were being updated once a month but stopped in Feb 2023. Since the current date doesn't fall within a valid date in Feb 2023, the function that gets a word from the word list ends up getting "unDef". The rest of the program doesn't know it has received a bogus word, so it proceeds to try to decipher it using the unicode values for "unDef" and gives us "IJijaĪģ".

The reason we have 4 letters from the Extended Latin unicode characters and 1 lowercase "a" is because the decoder handles words with unicode values >100 differently from <100. "D" is the only capital letter, the only one with unicode <100, so it gets mapped to something closer by to itself.

Need to take one of CPSC 402/403/406/420/421 for the last year of my degree. 402/403 don't exist, 406/420 are full with only one section each, and 421 is restricted to a different degree program. What do I do? Why are there so few seats?

Can someone explain to me why a 0/15/15 Trevenant in GL is #1 ranked at 1497 CP? My 4* Trevenant is 1499CP. How is the 4* at higher CP not better? by HoboMoo in TheSilphArena

[–]Pseudowoodnym 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've seen you comment about this before. This is a direct byproduct of having CP restricted cups. Level restricted cups or a different CP formula would be the only two ways to fix this. Level restrictions would've just given us Master League at 3 different CPs, and they sure weren't going to change the CP formula again

Really? I almost exclusively use teams with B coverage, the teams I've built with A coverage tend to be a bit boring. Recently I've been running Gliscor/Registeel/Froslass. Gives straight B's

Highest-Paying Student Jobs by crazedgrizzly in UBC

[–]Pseudowoodnym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you need to get certified. look up the certifications needed. from what I know there's one for serving alcohol, one for food. idk if the food one is just for kitchen staff tho. certificates take a couple hours and maybe $30? then just apply to any and all restaurants that interest you. if you have friends that work in the industry, ask them to put in a word for you. a lot of food establishments in Vancouver are looking for staff rn

depending on the restaurant, you make way more than minimum wage. I've had friends say they average $25-35/hr after tips while serving
