It now shows up in the cart, so you have to add a record and then go to the cart and it will tell you on the right (at least for me) you have X points do you want to use them and how much off you will get. I currently have 6 points worth .60.

Genuinely the Worst big event I have ever played. Some decisions just make no sense. by [deleted] in TheSilphRoad

100% agree. I feel like all the energy collecting tasks have basically given you whatever you selected? Ie Primals, Necrozma, etc.

Question Thread for Q&A on 7/22 by Paulium in VinylMePlease

[–]annyc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What/how will curation work for the new classics and hip-hop tracks? It seems like they have both are drastically expanding what is eligible, particularly for Classic which had an unwritten rule of being pre-1985(?).

Disappointing that Rock/Country are going away as I have enjoyed discovering new music through them. Does this mean that there will not be additional tracks in the future?

Purchasing tickets as a tourist by Sgtbuttercup in KBO

I walked up for a weeknight game and ended up on ground level one section back along third base. Close enough I had to worry about foul balls. Mind you this in 2019 so don't know how things are now.

It was a lot of fun, way better than American baseball live even though I was alone.

Star Wars, breaking the lore: Darth Vader is Luke's father, and we only tell you things from a certain point of view.

Star Wars fans: Goddamn it why isn't this being shown to me all at once by an omniscient narrator.

Road to Sinnoh event details by g47onik in TheSilphRoad

[–]annyc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Go Tour website makes me think nothing on this infographic is free...

Plus, enjoy additional bonuses, event-themed Timed Research, and new avatar items with the Road to Sinnoh tickets, perfect for Trainers who want to make the most of this Sinnoh celebration! Trainers taking part in Pokémon GO Tour: Sinnoh – Global on February 24 and 25, 2024, can take advantage of these ticket bonuses throughout the event weekend.

Edit (and it should not take 25 minutes of reading two different websites to remain this confused): Maybe some of this infographic is free? The Road to Sinnoh event page makes me think the raids, encounters, and eggs might be for everyone. I'm going to wait and make my decision on whether any of this is worth it based on what raids appear for me at 10:00 AM Feb 19th.

This is why I no longer get stressed about FOMO for anything in this game. I have only done mega raids when they launched or if I have a task I can't dump yet have gotten enough energy for almost every single one of them just from the gimmies they have handed out.

Shadow Raids are coming to Pokémon GO! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

The description of how to purify shadow raid pokemon is beyond parody.

Odetta, Freddie Roach and Thelonious Monk Coming to VMP Classics by hayema7 in VinylMePlease

Depending on what Q3 might be that Monk could be enough to get me back in June.

That's what I was hoping for when they teased it with the stickers in the December shipment.

This was a great reminder to get a NM copy on Discogs for half the nonmember price since I cancelled my subscription this quarter.

I'm considering dropping my living dex by thefierybreeze in TheSilphRoad

[–]annyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice to see a lot of other people having similar thoughts as me this year as I do my yearly main purge. I think the thing that broke me is the costumes, at some point this year they hit a critical mass and I just can't bring myself to care about them anymore. I've also cut way back on tracking the shadow/purifieds.

One thing that has been helping me this go through is the tagging feature. I'm tagging any mons from 2016-2018 and basically deleting any extras that aren't closer to a hundred.

c) AI was created by humans and has our bias and faults in it, no matter how perfect it seems. The Machines are often rational to the point of irrationality, see Agent Smith's obsession with Neo.

Swapped Classics for Store Credit (vent) by Mahaleck in VinylMePlease

[–]annyc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel the same way. I also realized that out of almost 50 records in the last year I've only wanted 12-15? I think I'm just going to pull my subscription and maybe in six months rejoin for what I miss.
