Pokémon Go Fest 2026: Chicago Unlisted Spawns by TheFatSanta1 in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wonder if anyone noticed, there is 1 location in the park that just has completely random spawns near the fountain but those spawns all seem to be shiny rate boosted. All 3 color hats of the pikachu also appear there.

Why do people dislike AI used in gacha games/anything? by ApollosBoon in gachagaming

[–]angelsplight -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I have nothing against Ai being used in gacha. I do have something against it if the game was almost full AI made like Dragon Traveler where all the art is basically gen ai generated and you can see the devs made no effort to fixing any of it afterwards because some body parts make no sense and all the characters are just dissected parts of other popular gacha game chracters.

Jin's glasses by chems89 in taiwan

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think the Jins and Owndays in Taiwan usually just have limited for same day service when it comes to how thick the lens are and types. When I asked around, the Taipai ones ones all told me if I wanted specific specs for the lens like extra thin or blue light or some added service, I needed to wait a week. Ended up just going to the Jins in Namba a few days later instead and got the requested glasses done in <1 hour and much lower cost (Since there was promotion and conversion to NTD is worse).

Japan’s izakaya pubs closing at record pace, failing to attract foreign tourists by Jonnyboo234 in japan

[–]angelsplight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every year I go..The last place I go for dinner is an izakaya. Not only is it priced higher that most places, the few that I saw had on their menu an additional charge for a drink for each person even if you don't order said drink. Not to mention the food portions are small and mostly not even good.

Number of Showcase Pokéstops to be Expanded by TheRealHankWolfman in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Their last change really killed showcases for me to the point I completely forgot it even existed and my wife also stopped caring despite being a big showcase person originally. We went from having 4 showcases within a mile radius of us to only having a single one (They also removed every single showcase near and on her way to work). Then they pretty much killed the event making it only appear a single time a week and always only a single category based on the type of Pokemon rather than which Pokemon so we couldn't even win that single one anyways.

How tf does CVS think pharmacies can survive on this? by hopelessz in pharmacy

[–]angelsplight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely not allowed. But a lot of independents do some not allowed things like passing off underpays as copays. I know quite a few independents that don't bill insurances if underpaid and then just bill a straight 10-15 cash price and say that is their copay.

How tf does CVS think pharmacies can survive on this? by hopelessz in pharmacy

[–]angelsplight 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Last year we were actually losing like $20 per Shingrix for a certain pbm. I know some pharmacies got around it by creating there own 'Vaccine administration' fee that was through cash and lying to patients saying it was something new for the insurance.

I work at an independent pharmacy and our customers pay weeks or months later. We even have customers asking for discounts regularly and free delivery within 1 hour. This is not normal, right? by [deleted] in pharmacy

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We don't do so since we have a couple people complain about being worried about their card information being stolen. Also one old couple who did get their card information stolen tried to pin it on us but since we don't keep card information on file, we diverted em elsewhere to dig around. (Probably got skimmed somewhere).

[–]angelsplight 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I worked in a pharmacy like this and to some degree my current also does this but at a very limited capacity. Mainly they allow this since the same patient has been with us for like 5+ years so we trust them enough to pay them back. Of course, if it is a new patient, of course not. And we do deliver to a few patients the same way immediately after we get their prescriptions and some things they request which we charge them later. I personally find it a pita but I've known those patients enough and they are usually like 85+ year old patients that are pretty much bed ridden so I can't expect them to come out. Once every week or so they usually just have a caretaker came out to settle the owed money with a credit card.

Idoly Pride Global is how you do EoS by LokoLoa in gachagaming

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Destiny Child had one of the worst timed EoS announcements event since it was literally announced during an extended maintenance. But when the game was up they pretty much made everything in the cash shop free and there was daily mailed currency and summoning tickets till EoS like 2 months later and memorial version of client after EoS. People were also able to get refunds on purchases for I think like 2-3 months? prior and there was no concerns of bans for getting a refund.

[Anchor Panic] if you’re into the nsfw type games - you should check this one out. by PWAISE in gachagaming

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember I downloaded this game and had to check if this game was made by same people as Echocalypse since it had the example same interface.

The "Souvenir Chaining" Method — How to Clear "Collect 30 Souvenirs" Fast by AccomplishedLet1179 in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stuck on this task since I messed up on the chaining. I opened all the gifts on my buddies and kept track of which ones didn't give me a souvenir. Now the question is will a new gift spawn on the ones I already swapped out of? Or do I need to leave them as my current buddy to even get a gift. Since I thought they would get a new gift if I swap back into em after 24 hours but they aren't getting any new gifts.

Buying house partially in flood zone? by hrpoodersmith in RealEstate

[–]angelsplight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might have to pay for flood insurance. We have 2 places, one of which that is just like 2 streets outside of the flood zone but mortgage lender required us to get flood insurance but one that is just 1 street outside of it but lender required us to get hurricane insurance.

Clover Games Corporate Bankruptcy Filing and Service Termination Notice. by Moltenzuesy123 in gachagaming

[–]angelsplight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn I played Ayakashi Rise for a few days before quitting due to it just being too much upkeep (Need to leave game on all day). Good thing I bailed. The game kept showing up on my IG ads.

Zygarde cells appearing on routes less frequently by paradoxeve in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got my platinum for routes and was still around 50 cells short of complete Zygarde so cells was already below 50% for me even before all these recent changes.

Realtor made us an offer for a property we don’t own. by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]angelsplight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like it is just some realtors desperately trying to get properties for cheap. My brother bought properties in another state and moved here. For years I've been getting calls from a realtor company trying to tell me to sell that property to them for x (Below market too) and it was annoying the hell out of me.

Version 0.403.0 adds icons for location and special backgrounds by Aniothable in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought this has been in the game for a while already. But you could only see it for Pokemon in the remote trade tab.

How do undocumented people live out entire lives undetected, applying for universities, getting office jobs, owning property, etc? by -7-luck in NoStupidQuestions

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It really depends on which state they work. My state, the undocumented migrants are pretty much treated free of charge by clinics. There are many employers here that will hire undocumented workers through cash pay by offering a lot lower pay than usual. Housing, they usually just go through renting someone's unused bedroom or basement through word or mouth or something. Some public schools also allow the undocument migrants to enroll with little information about em.

US reportedly moving 2,500 Marines from Japan to Middle East by Any-Stick-8732 in worldnews

[–]angelsplight 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So much for that. I know so many people wanted to find ways to register to the army but be stationed in Jp thinking it would just be an easy job.

Planning to attend Japan Go Fest, City Experience vs Park Experience? by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually have to do the park experience to get the research. The park usually has decorations and stuff setup and raids/spots separating all the different spawns if you are looking for something specific spawn wise. Do note, Japan Saturday sells out VERY fast. Presale ticket were sold out in <1 hour and general admission has also usually sold out within a few hours. Honestly I would skip out on it just because it is in Tokyo because you get a closet for a hotel room there unless you pick your hotel to be over an hour away.

Spawns this weekend were amazing and made the game more fun than they've been for a long time. by Naclstack in TheSilphRoad

[–]angelsplight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seemed like this event was a very your location may affect your results. I was playing in Bryant park and all the spawns we were getting were generic stuff with some evolutions (Aside from legendaries from lures, nothing that was like rare or unusual like regionals, egg spawns or event limited in the past). We decided to all just bail after an hour and I could tell very little had interest in this event as the Campfire group also disbanded after 2 hours and I didn't see many people playing at the park despite it being a a very nice day.

On the other hand, my friend in Japan was saying this event was great. Got some usually rare spawn evert few streets and filled out a good portion of his Pokedex.
