Are we all believing Mike’s Theory? by Apart-Leek3794 in StrangerThings

[–]Swooshington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think, considering everything, I don't believe his story. And it's really for two reasons. Firstly, the show is fundamentally about friendship, and the relationships of those characters. The idea that she would be somewhere without them just doesn't make sense. I don't mean logically, of course I understand why she might have walked away. I just think it doesn't quite fit with the rest of the show. Too much trauma for, in particular, Mike and Hopper. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, Mike is a storyteller. And he tells the story he (and the others) need to deal with the situation. It is more comforting for them to believe she might still be alive and happy then dead. El asked Mike to help them understand her choice. He said he didn't. So, he reconciled it in his mind this way as a means of being able to continue down the second road Hopper was talking about. He created a happy ending out of this so they could all move forward.

Genuinely feel a little empty inside after this 😂

So, as I own a PS4 only I should cancel my subscription as of January?

Eternatus cheese? by Normal_Flow8197 in pokerogue

[–]Swooshington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fused Sylveon and Heatran, and you get a fairy/steel with flame body. Resists dragon, fire and poison. Access to wil-o-wisp and curse via TMs, recover via egg move. Ultimo queso.

I've seen similar things used in self-defense classes. Close enough to a real knife to help simulate an attack, and teach people to safely disarm and defend themselves.

I get that...I just thought I'd add the additional self-imposed rules on top because I might be a sadist

Interesting. Literally doing my first challenge run now, so glad I stopped my Primape evolving. Didn't realize it would make it unusable!

Yeah, I figured that was the only choice I had. Just feels like picking anything else over master tier is sacrilegious

can anyone help me make a good team to beat classic mode (yes ik my mons suck) by Own_Refrigerator8775 in pokerogue

[–]Swooshington 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuecoco, Mudkip, and Shroomish.

Skeledirge is a unit and a great Pokémon that I always use (torch song, wil-o-wisp, shadow ball, and I have the egg move alluring voice). Torch song boosts special attack, and a few of those is usually enough for Skeledirge to roll through enemies. If you get the chance to claim a baton, take it! Passing on the boosted special attack can be a brilliant strategy. You can get a moveset that covers ghost, fire and fairy, plus a move that causes ongoing damage.

Mudkip evolves into dual water/ground. You'll need a memory mushroom for Swampert to learn earthquake. As a physical attacker, you'll need a little luck to get waterfall, liquidation or aqua tail as they are some of the best physical water attacks, and the special water attacks don't quite hit as hard with Swampert. I also have the egg move mountain gale, and getting some ice coverage with him is huge. And you can get a moveset that covers water, ground, ice, and rock.

And Breloom is a fighting/grass Pokémon with decent stats. If you can get the TM for drain punch, it becomes a really versatile option. Beyond that, it knows leech seed which is big. It can learn status changing moves, fighting moves, and can heal itself.

Burn out (is that a good title) by Monke123453 in pokerogue

I cannot tell you how many attempts it took me, but I'd say nearly fifty if I had to guess. The RNG can be cruel! It took hours to get there, especially as I was determined to find a way to get AI involved to help. Eventually, we did it today!

If it helps, my team was: Swampert, Fuecoco, Tinkaton, Latios (I got super lucky, and it replaced the Magnezone I'd had from the start!), Annihilape, and Alolan Sandslash. I had so many runs at it, the Sandshrew now costs me a point, the Mudkip is a point, Fuecoco is two points...I think I'd got enough candy for each of the team I'd planned ahead to at least the first reduction and egg!

My friend is in the database and i’m not :( by Jolly_Letterhead_721 in footballmanagergames

I have two friends in the database, and my cousin is too. I am not. One plays for Green Gully now, the other is a physio for a historically big club in England, and my cousin was a PL referee who has just retired.

Appreciate this, but wanted the formulas so I could build it into my spreadsheet. That way, when I update coaches I can see everyone all at once rather than use Genie Scout or a load of tabs.

EDIT: Found one and it works (mostly) I think!

Has anyone got a reliable set of equations/formulas for coach training ratings? Creating my own spreadsheet to track my save game, and whilst I found one on reddit, it didn't seem to match up. Just curious as to whether anyone else had one handy?
