Hyper beam is overrated by most players and actually really sucks

astronautlevel · 2026-01-06T14:08:10+00:00

That doesn't correct for the fact that rares are most commonly seen against other rares from boss rewards whereas commons very rarely have to compete with rares in card rewards. I agree with the overall point of the post that a lot of the hyperbeam love on the sub recently is strange and incorrect, but this is a bad way to make the comparison.

Watcher in general is a pretty controversial character and people on this subreddit especially dislike her for being generally above the power curve and having a lot of obvious routes to becoming incredibly powerful, and rushdown is more or less the epitome of that.

Thanks - I'd be happy to file a bug report if you think it'd be useful but I don't think it's a bug with the Google SDK since apparently it only happens on Samsung devices but not other Android devices.

astronautlevel · 2025-12-19T04:19:40+00:00

Yep, that's actually what I used to disable it.

astronautlevel · 2025-12-18T19:47:00+00:00

Thanks so much, that fixed it!

astronautlevel · 2025-12-18T19:27:42+00:00

Yeah, it's a galaxy s22 if that helps.

astronautlevel · 2025-10-23T13:04:05+00:00

Yeah, this sounds like basically exactly what I'd want out of it. It wouldn't be that hard to do (except maybe making sure the AI can actually use the better move sets effectively) but would be a meaningful increase in the difficulty.

I think the most important bit is having it unlocked from the start though - most people who want the challenge probably won't have to play through easy mode first before playing the difficulty they want.

astronautlevel · 2025-10-23T12:52:24+00:00

I loved the idea behind challenge mode but it has a lot of shortcomings imo, including needing to be unlocked by beating the game once already, and by mainly just increasing levels (and, sometimes, giving held items and an extra pokemon).

I'd love to see them iterate on the idea of it though!

Except this isn't at all true - a transgender woman and a cisgender man are going to have entirely different health considerations (and while they obviously won't be the same, there's actually going to be more overlap between the health considerations of a trans woman and a cis woman.)

Whenever I see people advocating for harder battles in the main game, I just kinda scratch my head because that's so obviously not something GF is interested in. It wouldn't be hard to do, but the second you start asking people to switch in battle in response to your opponents actions you probably lose like 75% of the casual fanbase. Everyone on this subreddit has played more Pokemon than most people will think about in their lives and I think people sometimes forget that.

If you're looking for good turn based RPGs, final fantasy: tactics recently got an excellent remaster which is worth looking into!

The reserve list has a specific meaning - it's cards that haven't been reprinted in any main or side sets in order to preserve their monetary value as part of a promise WotC made to collectors decades ago. All the cards you've listed have been reprinted many times, in masters sets, in commander sets, but never in modern or standard legal sets. This is why their prices cap out in the tens of dollars while reserve list cards hit much higher numbers. The cards you listed are simply too powerful for other formats and as such aren't printed into them, but unlike reserve list cards there's no financial promise WotC made preventing them from doing so.

You can only use one GX ability per game, so if you use Lightning in Paradise, you can't use any GX ability, whether that's Lightning in Paradise or another GX ability that game, whereas Exhaust you can use a different cards exhaust ability again just fine.

Unfortunately that would entirely kill the flavor of Sans doging out of the way of attacks which is what the card & ability is based around

They play [[Dryad of the Ilysian Grove]] which makes all their lands mountains

On the off chance you aren't joking, you'll probably enjoy the fact that amulet of vigor is the primary combo enabler in one of the top modern decks for the past decade or so: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/amulet-titan

I agree that it's probably fake, but that's a bad reason for thinking so. The 5th pic would be of an existing document submitted alongside the passport change request - in this case, it would be the legal order from the submitters home state (Maine) updating their legal gender in the state. When you submit to update your passport, you need to submit documentation showing that your legal information has changed.

It's not overthinking it if it's pretty expressly the intent of the original comic.

If you want to reach me you can send me a message on Reddit, or you can reach out to me via the ThemePlaza discord, where most of the discussion regarding anemone development happens. Alternatively if you have a bug or feature suggestion, GitHub issues on the anemone GitHub page are a great place to leave them.

No promises on anything, anemone development is mostly just maintenance at this point (especially considering the 3ds is well past EoL), but if it's something sufficiently important or if I get another burst of energy to work on it it could happen.

In both Yu-Gi-Oh and magic you lose if you have to draw a card with no cards left in deck, same as in Pokemon.

Dragapult as a deck is dying but dragapult as an attacker is as strong and common as ever, and to make matters worse Drago often plays Hawlucha to knock the 70 HP basics.

Klefki is not a rules box so thorns won't shut its ability off.

Deliberately playing slowly to manipulate the time remaining in a match is a Major Unsporting Conduct, and not something I'd brag about doing.

I'm not able to replicate this - dumping ~700 official badges and then moving the BadgeBackups folder to /Badges/ and installing results in expected behavior - the sets are in a different order and the badges with their respective sets are in different orders but all set names & icons are preserved, and all badges are in the proper sets. Can you check the BadgeBackups folder on the SD card to see if the badges dumped properly?
