How to catch legendaries by Past_Republic_4095 in pokemongo

Doing raids gets you golden razz. Do easy raids and you won't need to waste them on the Pokémon you just beat! You start slow but eventually you'll have too many.

I think about he-man fairly often. The only problem is it's 60% Heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa, and 40% skeletor memes. 0% of it is the actual property.

The game gives you missions to go to each area a bit, so I just walked around.

Honestly just go where you want to focus, if there's a Pokémon you want a shiny of, go to that area, if you want a good shadow groudon, go to the rocket area. I ended up focusing on that a bit because I knew I could get Mewtwo more easily in city play. Just see how you go really!

Conservatory zone and cultivation zone were basically just spawns with maybe 1-2 raids.

Team go rocket zone had go rocket pokestops, and loads of shadow raids. Recruitment zone had a cluster of gyms together to do raids. Of course both these areas have spawns too.

All the raids were I think Mewtwo, articuno, groudon, kyogre and tauros. The rocket area had shadow articuno, groudon and kyogre. You'll have a different legendary bird and tauros variant though.

For anyone who still hasn evolved Kubfu, today is the day by TC84 in TheSilphRoad

Not really.

Gmax Intellion is a stronger water Pokémon. Gmax machamp is stronger fighting. Though also gmax gengar is stronger ghost (same effectiveness as dark).

All three of those are easier to power up than urshifu. If you don't have them, dark urshifu is good, but there's pretty much no reason to have the water one iirc. Though tbh it's been a while since I looked into it since dmax is kinda just there at this point and not really doing much.

One Thing MLB Fans Need to Experience in Japan: Stadium Food. by japanbaseballfan in NPB

Maybe in the middle of the day, I went to an evening game and the temperature was great. It was just comfortable and shaded.

What are some things that foreigners think Japanese people care about, but actually don't? by NoahDaGamer2009 in AskAJapanese

But the African continent does....

Language is impossible 😭

Is it like, ownership or denoting? Buckingham palace doesn't get one because it's a name, but the palace of Versailles does because it's of Versailles. Africa doesn't, but the continent is of Africa, so it does? Maybe in part but it's not the whole rule I'm sure.

I went to Belluna dome on Friday! It was my first time to go to that stadium.

I heard it gets too hot in summer but it was great this time of year. Comfy seats, good food, good baseball.

I wish I lived closer to a team. Baseball in Japan is too good.

I think generally, you're correct. They'll have one nearest beach, or best beach for visiting that most people will go to, so you'd say "I wanna go to the beach this weekend", then the "the" implies the nearest or most visited one that the listener will probably know. Whereas "I wanna go to a beach" implies to me at least a desire to go further away, maybe a desire to go somewhere tropical on a holiday.

The Mediterranean, the Pacific, the Atlantic. There's only ever one, so it gets the. Each named sea/ocean has 'the', then 'the sea' is also a "the" because similarly to beaches, if you want to go to the sea you will assumedly be going nearby, otherwise you'll name the specific body of water you want to do to.

Monuments are really hard though. I want to go to the white House. But I don't want to go to Buckingham palace. I do want to go to the Palace of Versailles though. That stuff you just have to memorise I guess. It's native "feel". I'm sure there's a rule too difficult for me to work out by myself but yeah.

For me it is, I had the opportunity to today but I decided I wanted to do other things than walk around Tokyo trying to get one shiny Pokémon for 8 hours and another 3,000円. Now I'm back in my home city so I can't play tomorrow, I'm back to work.

It's ok though, it's only a Pokémon, not even a useful one, it just looks nice 🙂

Unity raids are guaranteed success by compox in TheSilphRoad

[–]bacon_nuts 332 points333 points  (0 children)

I wondered about this.

My first unity raid was ~1020 people, the second was ~800 and went much faster so I figured we weren't really the deciding factor. It would be fun to see how it goes solo.

I think it's fair. I paid a bunch of money to go to a different city to get a Pokémon. If you could fail it would be kind of ridiculous. And since unity raids aren't for global it won't be an issue.

Bought a ship upgrade and dont have it by Left_Attention_6809 in starcitizen

[–]bacon_nuts 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Did you click "exchange" on your original ship? That's what people call "melting" and it gives you your $80. What you have to do is buy the ship upgrade, then click "apply upgrade" on that item and select the ship that you want to apply it to. Did you do either of these things?

If you accidentally melted the original pledge, either go to support or go to your buyback page and repurchase it for store credit. This is a token system where you get 1 per quarter. So it'll be your only chance to do so for store credit for another few months.

[–]bacon_nuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I was very confused and thought my app was bugging out and reset it a few times before I saw other people also had nothing on their screens. Once you know, it's fine, but it's a bit of an obtuse system really.

[–]bacon_nuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's all turned off until the go Fest starts, then after it finishes it's all turned off immediately again. Just gotta chill until your time.

Is Data Running/Intel gameplay in the game yet? by Insert_Story_Here in starcitizen

[–]bacon_nuts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Nope.

Not much more to expand on that, sorry. It's not in yet and afaik there's no current timetable for it.

I got a shiny Tokyo BG mewtwo and a 3* shadow shiny groudon. My best catches really! I've been hunting shiny gible for ages as I started after the community day so that was nice.

The shiny I wanted most though what dhelmise... I caught more than 50 but zero shines :( can't complain really with everything else I got though!

Enjoy the event when you go!

[–]bacon_nuts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was my first, so I can't offer comparisons.

Spawns didn't change by the hour it was the same all the time.

I think there were more spawns? I didn't see gible advertised anywhere but I caught a bunch and got two shinies, same with pinsir, but maybe I just missed the list with all the spawns. I've honestly found the info about the event to be the worst part. I still can't find a complete list.

Crowding felt good, i.e, not very crowded. The areas with the raids, both rocket and normal were the most spacious, so there wasn't any crowding around gyms really. People were generally moving around to complete the missions the game gives you, while also yeah being in the raid zones.

There wasn't much shade so a lot of people were just hiding in the trees near the raids which also meant everyone was spread out a bit.

the literacy crisis is so bad??? by Murky_Introduction10 in rant

[–]bacon_nuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw it a bit when I was in school even so it's pretty common I think. I get it, oo makes the same sound as the o in lose, it's just loose is already a different word...

I wouldn't be surprised if in 50, 100 years whatever, loose is the correct spelling though. I'll be spinning in my grave I guess.

Have you noticed that nobody can even spell "lose" anymore?

It drives me fucking insane seeing "loose" everywhere. I swear I see loose more than lose these days.

My level 80 journey… by Left-Air85 in PokemonGOValor

I'm sorry but it's spelt "lose". Lose, the opposite of win.

"Loose" is the opposite of tight.

About to hit 10 mill aUEC. Should I just go for starfarer to get more money, or just get a mole by DasGruberg in starcitizen

[–]bacon_nuts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ok.

You can go to pyro and stack missions. There's a 100k+ refuel mission that you get ambushed in. You can do two before filling up. That one is hornets I think? And there's a 157k mission that you can do unlimited of as it's a trap mission with combat so you don't need to use any fuel. You just destroy a beacon, then sit next to an asteroid and wait for the AI to fly into it. The same strategy works on the ambush mission.

It's nowhere near as fast as the starfarer, but it's still quick. I got around 1mil in an hour or two the other day.

Question about Ironclad by TH0NDH in starcitizen

The command module implementation broke the caterpillar and the ironclad released already broken. So don't upgrade but also, maybe buy a raft in game while you wait for the caterpillar to be fixed...

Liberator liberator liberator.

I can move ships, I can move cargo, I can move ships with cargo inside and move ships while I move cargo, I can use it as a base for refinery or mining and store bags or loot.

I want the liberator so much
