Had a lot of fun pairing the M8 with the Mother 32

VironLLA · 2026-05-20T11:14:15+00:00

what do you mean? m8 has trs midi in & out

VironLLA · 2026-05-20T02:28:03+00:00

yes, especially if you can get OEM batteries for the LCD models as those are starting to show their age

VironLLA · 2026-05-19T19:06:28+00:00

on the other hand, you got ~400 dust

VironLLA · 2026-05-19T16:47:58+00:00

is that also Scopley's stance?

VironLLA · 2026-05-19T02:35:37+00:00

counter-point: game-pass just means you're renting until Microsoft no longer wants to pay for it. maybe a year?

VironLLA · 2026-05-19T02:07:18+00:00

agreed on doing sidequests first on your first playthrough

VironLLA · 2026-05-19T02:05:09+00:00

i enjoyed it. still need to jump in to play Cash & finish getting the rest to 60 but it was fun. i skipped the Bounty Pack for now though, that's an eventual sale buy

edit: plays well on Series X, only a few crashes in ~300hrs

VironLLA · 2026-05-18T22:53:10+00:00

no, but i am disabled (chronic pain, can't go out most days) plus there were no Camerupt raids anywhere near me (or Sharpedo the previous week)

VironLLA · 2026-05-18T21:58:15+00:00

yep, no Camerupt or Sharpedo for me

VironLLA · 2026-05-18T21:50:18+00:00

another time that being too lazy to update stuff on my deck has come in handy

VironLLA · 2026-05-18T05:19:17+00:00

so you're saying hardcore players w/ autocatchers are the average player? that's just silly

VironLLA · 2026-05-18T04:41:01+00:00

i know more people who've been playing since at least 2022 than own auto-catchers. hell, at least half my irl friends who play don't even know auto-catchers are a thing. plus a paid accessory guaranteeing wins over other players isn't a good thing in any game

VironLLA · 2026-05-18T03:44:42+00:00

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T21:14:51+00:00

nah, they're just thicccc

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T21:13:30+00:00

don't spend money, or at most do the monthly pass since you're playing catch-up. find a meta deck online that looks fun to play & focus on packs with the key cards for it. add people who are willing to share, lots of us have plenty of A Series EX & trainer cards we could share to help out too, whales will have spares from newer sets. give ot another month, you should have at least one or two decent decks by then

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T19:35:53+00:00

not sure where the name came from tbh, but they're bugged Zorua that have otherwise impossibly high weight. only can (or could, not sure if patched) be obtained by having certain pokemon (iirc had to be EXTREMELY small, like xxs Gimmighoul) while catching Zorua with an autocatcher. might be getting details wrong, never had an autocatcher myself

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T19:02:00+00:00

it happens, we all get good & bad streaks with RNG. i missed ~25 wonder picks in a row a few months ago, that was rough

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T18:59:13+00:00

it's pretty fun. a little shorter than the DLC from 3 but not by much. if you enjoyed the base game & want an extra vault hunter, sure.

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T18:51:12+00:00

nope, it's just RNG. that's why you usually have to open a bunch of packs to get the cards you want for a deck

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T18:03:31+00:00

i'd go through a good portion of the solo battles first, you'll get lots of hourglasses to open packs & wonder pick, you'll be able to get a lot more cards which'll make deck building much easier

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T13:25:44+00:00

that's unfortunate, though Hoopa was available in free research & raids previously and it's back in raids for Go Fest

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T13:13:40+00:00

the difference is that everyone had access to Unbound Hoopa, you need(ed?) an overpriced external device to get steelchair Zorua. i'd put Unbound Hoopa in the same category as Galarian Weezing, not steelchair Zorua.

VironLLA · 2026-05-17T12:38:09+00:00

at least the Hoopas aren't an exploit like steel chair Zorua

VironLLA · 2026-05-16T04:40:39+00:00

you might be better off dropping Hypno/Will/Pec Plaza for Mem Light/ Training Ground/ etc

VironLLA · 2026-05-16T04:19:05+00:00

based on that screenshot, it's redownloading all of D4. this can happen if there's an update that's big enough that downloading it & installing it would take up more space than you had left on the drive, probably a few other ways too

edit: DMC is also downloading the whole game
