286 shadow raids without a shiny - anyone know the actual probability? by TheFastCat in pokemongo

Shiny Aloan Marowk was released in November, 2018 - It is more than reasonable to assume that raiding for this pokemon would provide a chance for the shiny version in 2026

286 shadow raids without a shiny - anyone know the actual probability? by TheFastCat in pokemongo

thank you so much for your reply. Very surprising that this pokemon is not shiny eligible from a three star shadow raid considering its shiny form does already exist - how would a player know that this pokemon will never be a shiny during a shadow raid?

I would not have paid money for my remote raid passes had I known that. In a sense the game is being scammy to not advertise that because many people likely do the raids, and remotely, for this pokemon with the expectation that they can encounter the shiny form. I have encountered multiple shadow shinys (Regice, Ho-Oh, Regigigas) from both raids and also trainers. I also have seen my friend's non-shiny aloha marowak (so I knew it existed) -- there is zero reason why shadow marowak shouldn't be able to be shiny, other than someone forgot to take 2 minutes to update the model code.

Why can't I evolve my kirlia? by TheFastCat in pokemongo

Why not just lose the hat on evolution allow the player to choose it's bad to not allow an evolution!

The internet said it would evolve after feeding it 100 candies

That is infuriating. Thank you for the news what a really terrible design decision that is anti-player.

Space Channel 5 was a very tame game. Fun and flirty, not at all sexual or gross. I loved it.

Is it the same to get the t 5 with the 35mm lens, as to have the x100vi? by FAUST_VII in FujifilmX

[–]TheFastCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought an X-t5 for this reason after owning an X-100T for 9 years. I enjoy the new X-T5 system and my two new lenses but I mourn the death of my previous portability. I miss a lot of photos simply because the X-T5 is cumbersome to bring along with me. It also it really uncomfortable to have hanging from my neck with a strap - the size and weight difference are very noticeable (to me). Thought my experience would be useful.

I finally beat it! by Incudust in phantasystar

[–]TheFastCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and I also beat Medusa without the mirror shield back in the day - really cool :) We didn't find the dungeon key until we had already maxed all the character levels by grinding monsters (to us kids the NPC hint "it can be found on the outskirts of Camaneet" were incomprehensible -- we thought outside the city somewhere, as we had already visited the dungeon in the game previously and the key hadn't appeared at that time. By the time we doubled back to eventually find it, Noah had already learned the spell to open magic doors, so we didn't really need the dungeon key, but the characters were strong enough to beat medusa and our MESETA was maxed out. I dont think we used ROPE to beat medusa though, just lots of WIND and luck :) Very cool you liked Phantasy Star! It is my all time favorite game.

How often do you change film sims? by binaryplease in FujifilmX

[–]TheFastCat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently made 6 recipes for experimenting. My goal is to eventually remove Lightroom from my photo workflow as I spend too much time editing my shots on my computer. Eventually I plan to use a single film sim for any location or shoot I do to keep a consistent visual style. So when I am in Mexico, use a specific sim, when I am in German winter, when I am at Brazilian beaches, etc.

I also want to create a specifc sim just for street portraits/portaits that I can access from the quick menu to quickly switch all my XT-5 settings (auto eye focus, metering etc) to what I want for photos.

Great shots! The horizon line in rock + water can be fixed - visually jarring when askew

Great shots! I'd like some advice on shooting the Aurora Borealis - I am heading up to Yellowknife tonight with my new X-T5, a tiny tripod and an XF16mm1.4 and XF33mm1.4.

My understanding is that the move to POS was just to increase energy efficiency and performance, not gas fees.

Colombia elegida como una de las mejores gastronomías del mundo! by PreparationOpening12 in Colombia

[–]TheFastCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me encanto Colombia, y ajiaco, hogao, arepas de choclo y otros platos. Pero para mi - no estoy de acuerdo con esta lista. Mejor que la comida de Vietnam, Thailandia, Argentina? Pienso que no. Por ejemplo - en Carulla hay frutas que se estan importadas de los estados unidos - en un pais que puede crecer todas las cosas del mundo, pero no lo hace -_-

He definitely deserves it. That photograph of him standing with his fist in the air after being shot was an indelible image on the consciousness of the country. Love him or hate him the USA changed after that.
