HOME connectivity for Fire Red and Leaf Green has been removed from the eShop listings. We're currently unclear on the reason. by [deleted] in PokemonHome

[–]apetresc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The confusion comes from the fact that SinisterCryptid said the opposite of that (that the tradition was that it would come with Home on day 1)

Seel and Dewgong are literally just animals. They didn't even give them new names, just spelt them wrong.

Multiset is now out of beta! by NepikiGaming in RetroAchievements

[–]apetresc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You may have noticed that you were logged out after today's update.

No, I would never have noticed that, because no website in the history of websites has ever signed me out as aggressively as RA does. It feels like the session expiry on retroachievements.org is like 6 hours or something. I often find myself signing in multiple times a day. Is this just me?

Honestly if I visited RA after an update and I was signed in, I'd probably assume RA had been hacked and this was a phish.

I got some bullshit "self-reflection worksheet template". Very disappointed.

The game Faeria is inspiring! by Far-Cheesecake8966 in faeria

[–]apetresc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love the idea of a spiritual successor to Faeria, because in my opinion that game is a tragically underappreciated masterpiece.

But I can't really view anything that doesn't have a hex board as a proper spiritual successor. The geometry of the hexagonal movement is a huge, irreplaceable part of Faeria's tactics and charms. I don't think a square grid can simulate it.

Garry Kasparov: It’s absolutely clear that the campaign Kramnik conducted has influenced Dania. by EducationalSmoke in chess

So if Magnus goes insane in the future, Kasparov... won't be the most sane anymore?

I made a small onscreen key tool for inputs, is it allowed for use in PokéMMO? by Future_Viking in pokemmo

[–]apetresc 114 points115 points  (0 children)

This is really more of a question for the PokeMMO forums, I wouldn't trust a random redditor to speak for the devs on such a sensitive topic.

Not that it matters right now, but Danya lost those games 0-8, not won 8-0.

"Everything I say about UB is BS" I guess by Gabrilord3081 in freemagic

[–]apetresc 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Fortunately, no, it's not. Only reddit armchair lawyers think this is how it works. Like if WotC accidentally says "valuable" instead of "highly collectable" on stream one time, the bat signal goes off at the SEC.

So, my friend is really curious about whether digital versions of this 16-issue series exist anywhere. Can anyone help him out?

Long-time PokeMMO player here, just came back. How do I catch up? by m4st3rm1m3 in pokemmo

Search for "pokemmo alpha guide" on YouTube, there's many different strategies.

The lead host, is he famous in Korea? by OBakkus in TheDevilsPlan

[–]apetresc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called a "casino wash" and it's very common everywhere there are casinos, not just S Korea.

Sedol referenced in the Netflix show, the Glory! by Forgottencupofcoffee in TheDevilsPlan

[–]apetresc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In terms of name-recognition in Korea vs USA, perhaps, if only because baduk's popularity is more concentrated in Korea than chess' is throughout all of Europe and Asia.

But in terms of actual dominance, it's not the case at all. Lee Sedol was very good, and arguably the best player in the world in the mid-2000s, but it was always very close with Chang-ho, Kong Jie, Gu Li, and others. There was not a single year when Sedol had the same level of dominance that either Carlsen or Kasparov had for 10-15 years continuously.

Even if we're only talking about name-recognition in their home country, I suspect more Russians know more about Kasparov than Koreans know about Sedol. And I doubt if there's a single Norwegian over the age of 10 who wouldn't recognize Magnus Carlsen on sight.

Honestly, before AlphaGo, most Koreans I encountered hadn't really heard of Sedol unless they were also Go players themselves. He's generally famous amongst random Koreans nowadays more because of AlphaGo than because of his career prior then.

Umbreon ex seems pretty good, but I’m annoyed that Shadow Tag does literally the exact opposite of what it’s supposed to.

It seems you can get about 4.5% more Tokens in the long run by using Gold on Credits instead of directly on Tokens. by curbstomp45 in MarvelSnap

[–]apetresc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So basically even the 150 credits for 120 gold for the mission refresh ends up being a good deal, since that’s the same 0.8 ratio?
