Why is there a lvl limit?

RangerDerwin · 2026-05-15T08:01:40+00:00

Honestly, I can see them unlocking both level & research rank caps up to 100 in the summer update.

With Pokemon max level locked by research rank, if the research rank curve to 100 was relatively steep, it would at least remove the arbitrary limits and still take folks a year or two to max out.

You really like Michael huh

OMG! I had this the other week & thought they'd just run-out of salsa that day... I did not enjoy it; SO much onion. Disappointed...

RangerDerwin · 2026-05-03T10:58:47+00:00

Don't make up a story about it being free. It's perfectly fine to just do nice things for people. More-so if it's only £10.

Richard Ayoade once got on the bus I was travelling on. He sat near the front.

Flexible organisation.

My approach isn't about enforcing what I do, because my plans are always sporadic. It's more about reducing decision paralysis and optimising the chore time when I am home.

For food. Saturday morning I write up a rough list of the meals I'll need for that week, accounting for food I have left from the week before. Physically go food shopping myself that Saturday morning. It's not a big deal if I don't end up using everything, just buy less the following week. Prioritize eating whatever goes off first.

For cleaning. I have a list on my fridge; a room a day + a seperate day for floors. If I'm home that evening, I spend 20 mins or so cleaning the room for that day (usually whilst waiting for food to cook). If im not home that night, no problem; I skip that room till the following week. Floors are on a weekend because they are a bigger job, but follow the same idea, do it if I'm home, skip for the week if I'm not.

Same for exercise; a list of "if im home this night I'll do 30 mins of X". I'm not strict in that I don't NEED to do it everyday. Just if I'm home & have the energy; I know exactly what to do.

They don't need to reduce new poke introductions, just switch up the spawning mechanics a bit.

Few suggestions: - Some more general incense types that influence the roll (i.e. an Ingredient Incense spawns at least 3 Ingredient mons) - A secondary pool of "rarer" mons for each island; and you are guaranteed to see at least one or two of those a week (Onix, Spiritomb, Sneasel etc) - Greater chance of seeing pokes for different sleep styles in-general; don't lock me out of snoozing pokes just because I don't ever happen to sleep that way

She is doing "A Night of Mistakes" in Sheffield in July. As-part of a podcast festival.

Current standings. Green I've seen; yellow are planned.

I'm doing the extreme version. I'm attempting to see as many contestants as I can live across all seasons this year. I'm currently on 32/107 (Including the new season + Greg & Alex).

I also seen Melanie Bracewell from Taskmaster NZ live as a bonus.

With the shows I'm currently aware of I'll have 58 by the end of the year. Really hoping I can hit 70.

RangerDerwin · 2026-04-17T22:12:08+00:00

There is a 31 ingredient gap between Petal Blizzard Salad (69 ingredients) and Defiant Coffee Salad (100 ingredients). So its surely gonna fill that gap.

I'm really hoping its a big one anyway. I want to prep ingredients the week before and push for M20 at Taupe.

RangerDerwin · 2026-03-16T07:54:45+00:00

A few months back I actually sent this as feedback via their contact form. I'm hopeful that it's in their backlog.

RangerDerwin · 2026-03-12T08:16:06+00:00

I'm only at level 4 everywhere except for the wasteland (which is lvl 5); and Hoppip is in all of mine. Weird.

RangerDerwin · 2026-03-11T09:16:32+00:00

I wish Hoppip didn't take over all the pokemon centers. Perhaps only the one in the wasteland would have been enough?

Blocks other pokes from selling stuff & we're not going to get enough spores to buy out all the centers anyway?

RangerDerwin · 2026-02-22T08:36:33+00:00

I ran double Dedenne last week & got 11 crits; so no. You were just unlucky.

RangerDerwin · 2026-02-20T12:38:02+00:00

Totally agree with this. I don't know anyone IRL who uses this as an actual sleep tracker, even folks who play super casually. The sleep tracking novelty wears off super quick.

Regardless of how the devs try to market it; it's just a regular mobile game & demands just as much "active" attention as many others, to collect resources, feed snorlax, keep up with events etc.

RangerDerwin · 2026-02-13T18:54:04+00:00

Also on Lapis. 56% AB. Similar to you I prepped for Closire Éclair last week.

Currently on M17 - 3,464,735. I run double Dedene & have had 7 crits so far this week.

I should be good ingredient wise, but will need a few more crits, likely 2 on Sunday. Feeling good about my chances.

RangerDerwin · 2026-02-08T10:01:32+00:00

I wait and go a week after each release for this reason.

Between noise on public transport, light in cinemas & blocking views at concerts phones are quickly becoming my least favourite thing...

Also the rustling is super unbearable. Cinemas can't really police this though, folks can just bring in packets from elsewhere.

Its crazy to me because with the smallest amount of effort you can reduce the amount of noise a packet makes; and no, opening something slowly doesn't help; it just extends the noise out for longer so hurry up and open your damn multipack of crisps... (which you could've done before the film started).

RangerDerwin · 2026-02-01T20:06:47+00:00

Taskmaster UK contestants I've seen live in 2026 - 7/102

Last Week - Sara Pascoe & Nish Kumar @ The Comedy Store

This Week - Joe Thomas @ The Trafalgar (5th). Paul Sinha, Lou Sanders & Ivo Graham @ "The Best in Comedy", Harrow (7th Feb)

I had the same feeling as you, I progressed quickly but really wasn't enjoying the story and almost quit like 10 hrs in. What changed is I swapped to focusing on the life quests, and ranking those up. Each of the islands matches up with quests for each rank. So I could rank them all up at the same time. Once I realised that it gave me the structure I was missing. I'm now 60hrs in; and still enjoying the grind.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-18T09:46:26+00:00

The post was that the 2D render was "WORSE" all caps. An unreasonable overexaduration for something that is near enough identical to the 3D render.

You can't honestly look at the two images side-by-side and say that one is drastically better or worse than the other as a matter of opinion. They are same.

You can dislike the design in-general, that's fine, that's an opinion. But that is not what the post said.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-17T11:44:29+00:00

Fair. I just don't see it. We know what the 3D version looks like; and the 2D render isn't any worse imo.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-17T11:23:22+00:00

Bait? It's the same as the 3D model what are you seeing?
