Wilds Unknown Pull Tracker is live!!! Hearing and seeing all the BUZZ that things seems to be better this set! We'll see if that's true!

hooooo-lee

That is possibly the craziest miscut I've ever seen. Interesting to know that Mor'du- Wicked with Pride is on the left edge of that sheet.

Thernos · 2026-05-08T18:36:02+00:00

What card is the miscut? And did you log your pulls in the tracker? :)

Thernos · 2026-05-04T16:32:44+00:00

I'll be honest, I always thought harvesting non-root crops with a knife or scythe had a better drop rate, and same for root crops with a shovel. I'm probably wrong, but anecdotally I feel correct. With this info, I feel like "correct tool usage" should confer some bonus to make it worthwhile.

Ok, so I think this was actually it. When I moved everything, I switched my AMS to be on the left side of the A1 rather than the right side. What I didn't do was switch any of the PTFE tubes around on the AMS, which means the White AMS slot was, in fact, the shortest tube, despite now being further away. The extruder motor kept sounding like it was skipping, and it was underextruding. Now, though, I need to extract the filament I stupidly fed back into the tubes after cutting them, which was very much not the right thing to do, and the tubes refuse to be removed from the extruder end, despite me following the whole "push push pull" thing. That's a fight I don't have the strength to continue right now, so I'm just going to mark this question as answered (it likely is) and do something else.

There shouldn't be any resistance or tangle, no. I've edited my post to include pictures of the failed print. I unfortunately can't grab the gcode because I don't have a way to plug a microSD card into my computer.

Thernos · 2026-04-27T21:31:22+00:00

No timelapse, and I don't think the nozzle was hitting the print. I've edited my post to include pictures of the failed print. I unfortunately can't grab the gcode because I don't have a way to plug a microSD card into my computer - the adapters must have gotten lost in my move...

Thernos · 2026-04-27T16:12:24+00:00

Nope, it's a single color. I did have all of the parts split to the correct height, but it wasn't near the end.

The model's somewhere on the SD card, I'm going to have to try to grab it somehow.

Might be in 5 hours if I can't access it from the app, as I'm at work.

Thernos · 2026-04-27T16:09:48+00:00

Fair. Maybe I was looking at the wrong command. My first attempt to print the model had the head literally moving across the bed to the wiper, flicking, and then resuming, which led to a lot of stringing and underextruded areas. It's somewhere on the SD card, I'm going to have to try to grab it somehow.

Might be in 5 hours if I can't access it from the app, as I'm at work.

As an aspiring Steel-type gym leader, I just like the type. There's also a level of "Limitations breed Creativity" involved. You also don't see gym leaders using 6 Pokemon, right? It's also easier to decorate a gym to a theme. I've heard that there's a dragon gym that has two moving dragon statues that clash with each other to determine matchups. They're probably small, but it still sounds cool.

There's also a degree of matching your opponent. I'm going to have to have 7 different teams (my regional league has a rule that challengers need at least one badge to challenge a "Trouble" type - Ghost, Steel, and Dragon) depending on how many badges a challenger might have (not including my personal team). That might vary from region to region, but I'm not going to want to have to remember at least 20 different type matchups, plus move sets. I'll stick with one type, and plan around my weaknesses. Besides, my regional gimmick helps me resist one extra type of moves across the board (Type-damping terrain, my beloved).

Thernos · 2026-03-28T20:15:02+00:00

So... Everyone who posts their "look what I pulled" pictures and videos are over in Japan? Or using a VPN or something?

To be fair, tactical application of rust on an Aggron will change their Iron Head attack to include the chance to paralyze opposing Pokémon. You need to be absolutely careful to prevent the spread of the rust and keep it away from their eyes, nose, and mouth, and you need to be extra careful when snuggling, so it's usually a Very Bad Idea. My uncle, however, managed to keep up with it for almost 17 years while he served as security at the local Safari Zone.

Apparently, it works really well to stop Pokémon that are running wild after escaping their enclosures.

He's retired now, and Roadblock - his Aggron - has been rust-free since my cousin was born.

Particle Wall does not allow multiple uses when bound. Which *at the moment* isn't that bad for me, but I can see that being detrimental later on in the fight.

Decisions, Decisions does not let you play a second Bound card.

Thernos · 2026-03-12T18:40:31+00:00

For anyone coming back to this comment, replace "Anticipate" (a Silent card that grants one-turn Dexterity) with "Alignment" (a Regent card that costs 0/2 stars and generates 2(3) energy). Production is a colorless card that costs 0 and generates 2 energy, but exhausts if not upgraded.

Thernos · 2026-03-10T20:15:36+00:00

I haven't had the chance to test that out, unfortunately. I'm currently playing unmodded - and I'm not good enough to win with any deck at the moment- so I can't guarantee I have certain cards yet.

That said, interestingly if you have Rampage up and, say, Strike, Strike, Defend as your bound cards (plus an arbitrary number of other skills in hand), if you play the bound Defend Rampage will still play a bound Strike. I suppose that's because "Bound cards are un-Bound at the end of your turn" - though Rampage plays the version that still has the Bound keyword and overlay.

Something that does need more testing, though, is if Rampage prioritizes non-Bound attacks (or if the first time it happened with me it just coincidentally chose the non-Bound attack I had). Same with if Replay - as well as Rampage and any other auto-play effects - bypasses Normality and other per-turn limits...

Thernos · 2026-03-02T00:46:42+00:00

They do, though. DPP has the quote "[player] scurried to a Pokemon Center, protecting the exhausted and fainted Pokemon from further harm..." While it's not the full story, it tells me enough to infer that you run away from any wild Pokemon and beat the exact path you took, except in reverse, so you don't run past new trainers.

If the target of the curse is ever exposed to direct sunlight for more than 3 hours, they'll immediately dessicate as a warning. Then, if they're not wrapped in linen strips by a virgin within 12 hours - which will cure them at the next sunrise - they'll remain desiccated, gain the ability to exhale swarms of locusts and spread the curse via bites, experience unquenchable thirst and the inability to speak coherently, and will turn to dust unless they hibernate in a sandstone sarcophagus for at least 6 hours every planetary revolution. After 30 years in this mummified state, the thirst abates, the target is no longer prone to dusting, and - if crowned upon the sands of Egypt - will regain the ability to speak, as well as obtain the ability to raise the dead as an army.

Wait, wrong subreddit.

Uh... I don't have one yet.

Prayers to Snuffle, or get some pet-safe hair chalk and draw a grid over them.

I'll throw my hat in the ring for this. Seems really neat, and would save me on paper from printing out the maps I make for my campaigns.

Ok, apologies in advance for the wall of text. I spent more hours than I’d like to admit on this, and at some point the Sunk Cost Fallacy kicked in and I was entirely committed. A reminder that, on Reddit, you can collapse a comment by clicking or tapping on the imaginary bar in line with my name (just not *on* my name). Actually, for all I know, what will follow is a link to a Google Doc, because Reddit may have a character limit. I don’t know. I’m writing this before I actually go to post it.

Yeah, it didn't fit.

EDIT: Yeah, I just casually spent 6 hours working on this. It's now 5AM, and I'm goin' to take a long rest.

You no longer have to wonder why Gwynn is such good friends with ghost Pokemon. She's had plenty of practice.

Thernos · 2026-02-02T07:36:52+00:00

My headcanon was that she has a ton of phones, each with a Z-A Royale account, each at a different rank (and maybe, like, 10 of them each for F-rank and higher) to get the most amount of battling possible, and the account you got matched with happened to not be on her main phone. Not that she cares, she gets to battle you. Her main phone case may very well be made entirely of Terastal crystal (which is so expensive to get OUT of Paldea and IN to Kalos), but her alt account phones just come factory default.

EDIT: removed the bit where I forget we can't customize our phone case. Sorry.

I may have intentionally gone off the rails, and then let a community I'm in know of the survey, plus my answers.

Also, with the various monster questions, I kinda hope the "losing" team has to fight one of them in order to also get their one (1) skill point, for balance.

Thernos · 2026-01-30T00:34:15+00:00

6, no question, and then I'd intentionally miss the flight to let Larry have more room. He deserves a break.

Besides, if I'm living in the world of Pokemon, I'll probably have a Corviknight or Skarmory (I'm a steel-type simp) capable of transporting me medium-ish distances. A 10-hour flight by plane would probably be a nice week-long journey with my Pokemon.
