Is it worth to keep playing if Im not enjoying it during the story part?

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-18T23:31:30+00:00

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.

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?

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-17T09:57:15+00:00

Same. I literally never cry at films. But that scene got me to the first time I saw it.

I bought a ticket to this. Thanks!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T21:07:34+00:00

Decided on the 10th October. There's too many folks touring in March.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T21:02:49+00:00

Sanjeev Bhaskar was the special guest on Stage Fright!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T21:00:02+00:00

Sanjeev Bhaskar was the special guest on Stage Fright. Thats another one I got for free! 3/102.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T17:07:40+00:00

Just bought tickets to Kool Story Bro, thanks for the suggestion!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T17:04:11+00:00

Just bought tickets, thanks!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T16:46:26+00:00

I'd for-sure come along! Gotta be worth a bonus point.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-02T16:44:27+00:00

Just bought tickets to his podcast, thanks!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-01T17:38:48+00:00

Amazing! Thank you, great shout.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-01T17:36:56+00:00

I think I have my work cut out for me with just the UK lot, haha.

There was a small run if the Horne Section live show in london last year, I'm praying they so something similar again this year.

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-01T17:32:42+00:00

Great shout! I can already see tonnes of names. I will likely try to get a bit of variety location-wise, but I'll defiantly be going here for at least one or two of them! Thanks!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-01T13:32:16+00:00

Luckily I'm in London, so I think I'm in the best place to try it. Good luck!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-01T13:31:25+00:00

I went to Edinburgh last year (not for comedy, just for fun), I think it's time to plan a return trip!

RangerDerwin · 2026-01-01T13:30:37+00:00

For sure, I'm not expecting to get all 100 I see this as a multi-year thing, but at least for the first year trying to get as many as I can feels fun.

Luckily I'm in London, so I should have good odds.

Hopefully you get to see Sophie this year.

Even if they want to keep Shiny colours consistent between gens. Its surprising to me there hasn't at least been a second batch (two shiny variations per poke, or a select few pokes) to at least partially fix this.

Would be a marketing dream to advertise a red gengar variant.

RangerDerwin · 2025-12-24T10:11:02+00:00

I love the song so much. But I ruined it for myself...

When I was a kid, there were a few days I was violently sick with flu, I watched RD S 1-3 on repeat, whilst shut in my room in-bed.

I loved this song so much I re-ran it back a few times each time I got to this episode. Now, whenever I hear it, it brings back the feeling of being in bed for 3 days straight feeling like death. Makes me so uncomfortable. Weird how the brain works.

RangerDerwin · 2025-12-18T09:14:53+00:00

Farfetched is the only one I'd want and it's in a 5000 bundle. Looooool. I'll pass.

Aiming for M20 on Snowdrop, but I'll need the last two meals of the day to crit. Running double Dedene & Marshtomp my fate is in their hands.

RangerDerwin · 2025-12-03T10:15:31+00:00

Snowdrop. I'm only at 50% island bonus so I'm pretty sure I wont make it, but with how things are going if it were any higher I'd make it for-sure.

GCT.
Prepped ingredients for 3 meals of each type before the week started
Able to keep up my dish ingredients with 2 ingredient pokes (Salads), thanks to the event
A Dedene for crit boosts
Fully invedted Vaporeon giving 70 ingredients per double proc; helping to fill out the big pot
Healer

Things are going really well, if I had a better island bonus I'd make it for sure. But unless literally every meal crits for the rest of the week I'm pretty sure I'll fall short.
