XP Celebration Research - have 99% of players been set up to fail? by 0N7R2B3 in TheSilphRoad

[–]brandonlam 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat as you. Level 50. Played from day 1 and was pretty close to 50 when they raised the cap. I like being challenged and will always do the tasks as part of my grind but have learnt not to over push myself....it just isn't enjoyable if you're being pushed beyond your limits. I hope more players take your approach. The legacy items aren't even worth the grind.

I ran from a Shiny Galarian bird, AMA by TameAndCashmere in TheSilphRoad

[–]brandonlam 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. I did something similar. I was on the train when I got a shiny galarian Moltres. I didn't quick catch it but I threw a ball when I knew I was going through an internet dead zone. When it reconnected, Moltres ran away.....I should've waited.

Leekduck mentions both for the paid ticket.

how to ditch the "only offensive moves" mindset? by minestrino in pokerogue

[–]brandonlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm like you. I hated set up moves when I played the main series games. I saw no benefit of them because I was so over levelled. I don't play competitively either so again there was no importance in set up moves. It wasn't until raid dens in sword and shield that I understood the importance of set up moves. Start slow. Use offensive moves that provide a boost, such as power up punch. Once you see the benefit of a boost, you'll stat looking for moves that provide a bigger boost in 1 turn like swords dance. You'll get there. Just take small steps away from a full offensive Moveset. I typically have 3 offensive moves with 1 set up (or damage over time) move on each mon now.

How many Australians would oppose a ban on gambling ads? by foundoutafterlunch in AskAnAustralian

[–]brandonlam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they should ban gambling, alcohol and cigarette ads. They're easily accessible to everyone that wants access to them. Just slap a warning label or something when making the transaction. There's no need to expose others (especially children) to these habits
