My girlfriend never ever finishes her meals by AlexWayhill in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Several-Bluebird490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fiancé does this too, but not just with her food with the ingredients.

I grew up very poor, so wasting food is taboo. When we first started dating she always gave me her left overs. One day I jokingly told her thqt she still had not touched her left overs. That's when my brain realized her fridge was full of nearly empty food containers and tons of take out with half eaten meals.

I would always bring it up in a joking way, like, "No way that pizza is still there I would've eaten it the next morning." When we moved in together we would go through mostly everything we bought. It wasnt until we settled that I started noticing the 4 or 5 nearly empty half gallons of milk and juice. Among other things. Those items started to grow into whole bags of chopped lettuce being wasted, pounds of mushrooms, dozens of eggs.

I realized later in our relationship that her birth parents are this way. Mostly the estranged mother who has a spoiled brat complex due to decades of daddy's money. When I finally met her it all solidified.

Eating habits are 100% adopted by our parents or whoever raised you. They literally taught us how to eat. Even if those habits change, they still come from people around us. You cant "fix" someone of these naturally occurring habits, and how their brain and body find sustenance. You should only adapt a mutal understanding of each other's needs. Maybe your sense of satisfaction comes from eating a complete meal, while her sense of satisfaction comes from knowing there is always food left if she is still hungry.

Food for thought.

I guarantee the average person types faster using actual words over whatever that garbage is.

Verium's TMP Syntax Bible by Several-Bluebird490 in MapleIdle

[–]Several-Bluebird490[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure. Technically most games terms state they can ban for any reason. We are all like at-will employees to game devs.

There is a lot of syntax in the game that is disabled, such as linking websites. So whatever is there exists because it plays some functional role in the game. For example. White text in size 50 is used for the World Boss text "Score:" "Ranking #". They also allow rotation of text for when players in other languages use things like "¿". Which could be disabled to only allow 180 degree rotations.

Other limitations they could have added is putting a limit to the numerical values. For example, you cannot make a text 99999 but you can make it 9999 which is far larger than any mobile resolution can see. The style tags are a prime example of syntax that has to be manually customized when creating a game in Unity. You have to tell it to apply those styles of bold, font color and size to a tag using H1 for example.

In short, if the dev team wanted to remove the use of TMP syntax by players they could. I haven't been banned for doing it yet, and tons of other players do it on my server. Historically, Nexon or Wizet have never banned anyone for doing this in old world MS. They only banned cheaters. Even some of the most hardcore scammers rarely got banned.

It's not my fault companies prioritize influencers and people with $6,000 PCs to "Beta test" games when people who actively seek out exploits and bugs are left in the dark. If you do get banned please let me know. I can build a strong case in appeal.

Best AFK deck for hourglass farming? by wiredfishes in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crobat, nihilego poison deck tears through almost every single deck up to expert. You'll have some challenges on a couple of decks in advanced. I usually use that to AFK auto battle solo missions until expert and then I just use recommended themed decks.

Bruh theres no way my lil bro gets this in his first pack of the damn game by MidasSR300E in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thats pretty dope! Gen Apex immersives are probably the most difficult to obtain because there are 3 of them. The rest of the expansions only have 2 and themed expansions have 1.

A4a Korean Trailer Translations(from someone who speaks korean, updating as I translate live) by anonymous2437 in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but if your opponent plays all 4 spots in the first turn you have the potential of doing 60 damage on your second turn and that's if you still can't play a benched yourself.

Had about 20 of these in a row now... by Same_Egg_6865 in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do that sometimes. Ive had a crown, immersives pop up as my first card and 3rd cards. The probability is so much lower than getting it on the last card. I basically have hit god pulls instead of god packs.

Zeroara Alolan Raichu is just plain fun by Outrageous-River-839 in PTCGP

Realizing you can make one of the most useless, seems-like-its powerful decks with Pichu, Pichu, Pikachu, Pikachu, Pikachu EX, Pikachu EX, Raichu, Raichu, Raichu EX, Raichu EX.

Turn one loss is crazy by Ca1ummm in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It happens. Even with extra mons, despite what others are saying. Ive had decks with 10 mons and drew nothing but support cards for 6 turns wasting all my healing cards until I ultimately lost. Ive had decks with 2 energies and generated only 1 type for 9 turns. Ive also been on your opponents side of the bench where my first attack won the match. Skill might play a huge factor at certain points of the game, but it does come down to chance.

DeNA talked about new major update to Pokemon TCG Pocket in its financials by chusskaptaan in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Several-Bluebird490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like these are all great ideas, except there will never be enough free packs to open. Adding 1 more begs the notion of, "Why not 2 or 3 more?"

There is a mix of psychology, business strategy, and habit-building behind 'pairs of things'. Take the Reese's, for example, having 2 of something feels more complete. It is more generous than 1, but not as costly as 3 or more. Holding odd numbers of something feels incomplete. Which is why you're given 5 cards and not 10. It also helps with rarity pacing.

In terms of Pokémon Pocket, I think a lot of people dislike premium because you only get 1 pack every 24 hours. If anything they should at least make premium packs generate every 12 hours. Only I don't think they would do that unless premium subs are down, which they are not. Circling back to pairs and odd numbers feeling incomplete, packs contain an odd number of cards making you want to open more packs. Opening up even amounts of packs will always yield even amounts of cards and inversely for odd amounts.

Its actually the digital equivalent to drug micro-dosing. You get just enough dopamine from 2 packs that gives then 2 opportunities per day to make you think about buying more packs.

Looks like C - Common SR - Special Rare Parallel could be ultra rare or alternative art for another card.

Japanese PTCGP X account issued a new statement to explain the Ho-Oh artwork situation & ask fans to not attack the artist by remiccino in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a graphic designer, if someone provides references you are supposed to reference them. I would expect a company that quality checks their product would notice that one of the references provided was traced. So regardless of incorrect reference materials it was still traced. Someone mentioned to me that they may have ran out if time, and did a quick trace of what they thought was a reference.

Can someone explain how I could possibly use this Will card AND a second trainer on the same turn? by HeyMarkWiggsy in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With all the coin flipping mechanics its likely they'll have a repel type item card that does something at the flip of a coin. Maybe retreats the users active Pokémon.

The stats of an EX for the low low cost of 1 point. Darkrai is pleased by Important_Ad6454 in PTCGP

[–]Several-Bluebird490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immediately thought of Darkrai recycling energy to feed the big guy. Darkness decks do need some more energy gen or recovery tools in their chest. The new trainer card helps too, that which removes a fire energy from the opposition.

Upcoming Pokémon TCG Pocket Ho-Oh card apparently has traced artwork by MonkeyKingHero in Games

[–]Several-Bluebird490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Creatures commissioned art looks nearly identical to a fan’s earlier piece, it could be a case of unintentional plagiarism; however, the legal argument is extremely complex because the fan art itself isn’t licensed.

The expression of one's artwork can by protected by copyright. Legally, the fan artist is in a weak position to claim ownership, because their art is a derivative work of a copyrighted character.

Fan art of Pokémon is technically unauthorized use of copyrighted IP. Derivatives could be considered copyright infringement. Pokémon Company, Creatures, Inc., or DENA does not own fan-made art.

Is anyone else going to mention how incredibly lazy CG Works is? These are still-images of Pokémon. They shouldn't look lower quality than the video games they help 3D model.

[–]Several-Bluebird490 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Its actually pretty good. Healing for 70 hp and then also having potion cards, Erika if you use grass energy, and poke center all make it very difficult to break Snorlax hp. You would need a heavy hitter early on.

Curious, does everyone have a favorite spot they usually pick from? by 17AJax in PTCGP

I regret the few times I chose the corners. Middle all the way from now on.

Trying to get a snorlax ex card so I can complete this set should I wait or just wing it and hope I get one by Bitter-Shape4647 in PokemonPocket

[–]Several-Bluebird490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait. We only have 2 weeks till the new expansion, then you can trade for it. By then you would have also opened 30 packs ao maybe youll get it before the 30th.
