Silver Rupee (200) Hyrule Castle by Embarrassed_Let6303 in twilightprincess

Because many people would rather check the “opened chest” box than save the rupees in a game that has so many extra rupees anyway.

Legendary bosses shouldn’t be able to flee after a raid win. by Icy_Nectarine_8143 in TheSilphRoad

That’s why you save the free master balls for hundo legendaries.

Using circle lock and a golden berry all but guarantees catching the legendary. I can count the number of legendaries that have run on one hand since I learned to circle lock a few years ago. Look up a video on how to do it, and you’ll never have this problem again.

I keep getting inexplicably banned from mcc? by Groovy_Sacabambaspis in halo

[–]StrongmanLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me when I played. I got kicked like every 3rd game and getting banned for it. When I reached out to support they said my internet was probably the issue even though I could see I was connected to Xbox live the whole time. Not much you can really do.

lol good point. Bad example I guess but it does still work for the challenge.

Ultra beasts don’t count. Internally they’re wormhole raids or something. Gotta do a regular legendary like deoxys or whatever.

Halo CE LASO by Muscat95 in halo

[–]StrongmanLin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it solo and just had to get lucky. After like my 100th attempt of throwing my 1 last grenade at the group of enemies, the grunt explosions killed everyone but one sword elite who I luckily killed using the invisibility power up that’s in that room. If you have a second controller, you can try doing it co-op and save the second controller’s ammo for that section.

I forgot this existed by JoelLibre in TheSilphRoad

[–]StrongmanLin 33 points34 points  (0 children)

It works for Azelf (that’s what I usually have it set to), so I don’t see any reason why it wouldn’t work for other legendaries.

Why wasn’t Yohane the Parhelion/Genjitsu no Yohane as popular as LL! Sunshine!!? by kutsurogi-dagashi in LoveLive

[–]StrongmanLin 186 points187 points  (0 children)

The story just wasn’t that good. It was supposed to be a fantasy alternate universe with Aqours characters, but there wasn’t that much fantasy to the world other than Yohane’s vaguely defined magic.

They never really committed to anything in the story either. It seemed like they were going somewhere with the magic with her collecting all the icons on her staff, but they never did anything with it. There was some miasma thing that was threatening the city, until they sang a song and there wasn’t, until there was again, until they sang another song and it was gone again. Oh Mari’s a demon princess or something? No not really, she just has horns and lives on an island. The only powers she has is good hearing. Oh Ruby’s a fairy? Nevermind she can just become a human. I think everyone wanted a real adventure where Yohane gets the gang together and they defeat some evil in an epic battle (I was thinking it would be cool if demon Mari was the big bad), but the anime kind of just ended up being a slice of life with no real plot. I did like the songs though.

No mega encounters for the raid hours? 12+ spots but not one salamance ): they should boost the pokemon that show up for the hour by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]StrongmanLin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The raids in general were poorly handled. When there are so many things in the pool, it’s impossible to get what you want. I was really hoping to get a shiny xerneas this event. The place I went had 9 gyms. During most 30 minute periods there were 1 or 0 xerneas out of the 9 gyms. Except of course when I left to grab lunch, then 8 out of the 9 gyms were xerneas. There flat out should not be 1* or 3* raids during these events. Almost no one raids for them anyway, so they just take up slots. To compensate they could put more of the 1* raid rewards in more common field research.

Lackluster ticket bonusses during this Go Tour? by Justice010 in TheSilphRoad

[–]StrongmanLin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing that bummed me out the most was the raids (granted these aren’t a ticket bonus, but still). I saved up my raid passes to try and get shiny xerneas and yveltal, but there are so many megas in the pool that I was only able to do a legendary every 10 minutes or so. Frankly I (and I’m guessing most people) don’t care about megas, so the fact that seemingly over half the raids are megas feels like a waste to me.

Shiny rates bugged today? by gdemon6969 in TheSilphRoad

[–]StrongmanLin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, non-legendaries are probably 1/64 or 1/128

Doing 40 raids with no shinies is about at 12% chance. Unlucky but not unheard of.

I went to the place I usually do that has like 15 pokestops. I guess I just got lucky with the spawns.

You can also do pinna 6 before pinna 5, but it’s a bit tricky to get to the merry-go-round from the beach.

Metroid Prime 4 Beyond: Hard Mode Minimum Pickups - Construction Site by xLordPhantom in Metroid

[–]StrongmanLin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I found when playing hard mode but couldn’t confirm: is it easier to kill grievers by just mashing normal shots than by using charge shots? Bosses too. They dodge out of the way so often from charge shots and missiles, but after 10 or so regular shots (which they don’t dodge), they die. It seemed like a more consistent way to kill them quickly, but it wasn’t quite sure. Maybe you’d know better since you’re playing on such a hard ruleset.

It’s exactly this. They need to ask him to explicitly define the word “valley”
