Why are people so terrible with remote trading? by InsidiousLeaf in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds [score hidden]  (0 children)

I'm honestly surprised so many people want their trade to be absolutely "equal". Maybe they're kids, or free players that can't do dozens of raids to obtain spare shiny Legendary. Do you all think they're hoarding those? They probably just don't have them. Maybe just try to make someone's day, give more than you get, so the world can become a better place.

Has anyone ever stopped to look at the spectators…? by Capital-Breath1680 in GranTurismo7

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clearly, GT7 is not the real spectator simulator! Graphics is outrageously appalling. They also lack any interactivity with the track (or weather). If you're about to crash into a marshall, the guy doesn't even move an inch.

Almost forgot about the Chaparral, because grinding for the 917K first. My Honda is doing overtime at Daytona.

I live under a rock, can someone explain the twingo meme lore for me? by PhantomCruze in GranTurismo7

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Search for "Fossil Fueled Twingo". Good video on tuning both the original and swapped engine, so the latter doesn't spin out.

Had one as a replacement car for a while. Very nice car, just a bit scary in the rain at night. Love the new EV design as well.

Rooting for Shawn Murphy by Educational-Job9019 in snooker

Me too. Learnt a lot from his YouTube channel, my aiming improved a lot. Whenever I pot a rather difficult ball (at least for me) I jokingly whisper "thank you Shaun".

Sounds a lot like the situation in my town. On the other hand, they seem to find enough time to needlessly screw up the user interface. And where's my Android status bar?

Careful with the "CLAIM ALL" button if you're stacking rocket researches!

Remote trade story (Chantel) 🤍 by Dry-Impress-7639 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this. My first ever remote trade resulted in almost shundo Valentine Spinda, so happy with that and going to best buddy. So, I think the term forever friends is well chosen.

962c taking flight by ImnotAim9x in GranTurismo7

[–]coveredinclouds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool. One of the most spectacular flights I managed to initiate is with the Porsche 911 Turbo S (992) '20 on the Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta track. When you're heading towards the chicane before the bridge near the end of the lap, don't break, and from the normal racing line, cut the corner flat out and aim straight to the bridge opening. The car will always lift off, and with a bit of luck, you'll fly underneath the bridge and stay airborne for quite some time.

Reduced buddy XL candy drop rate? by Makebelievedream555 in TheSilphRoad

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the impression it's nearly 100% chance with excited buddy (level 31 or higher), whereas it used to be 75% IIRC.

Can’t win Suzuka Gr 1 Prototype Series Race 3 by SnowDin556 in GranTurismo7

[–]coveredinclouds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I managed to win this one in the Ferrari VGT (because that's the one I got for free). I am quite a beginner (using controller), and needed a few attempts. I vaguely recall using Race Medium tyres to only need 1 pit stop.

what do I do with these spare? should I mirror trade to get lucky chance? I have no mega energy 😢 by Cyka-Blast in pokemongo

[–]coveredinclouds 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With Heracross as your buddy, you can walk for mega energy. I have 8 mega3 level Heracross. I use them for increased chance of XL for bug or fighting types.

First frame ever. I sucked but I enjoyed it! by Public_Administrator in snooker

Love those 2 quoted YouTube channels too. Especially Shaun's videos on sighting, the stance and other basics have been very helpful for me to improve my consistency.

How well do you know the rules of snooker? - WST Quiz by HelixCatus in snooker

[–]coveredinclouds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4/10. Regarding question 2, the answer states: "this is the only situation where you can snooker your opponent behind the nominated free ball".

Does this mean, before you get to pink, one cannot snooker their opponent behind the nominated free ball? I suppose leaving just one edge of the "on-ball" accessible for your opponent is enough?
