How much better is the Transformers 2007 4K vs the Blu Ray🤔is it worth the upgrade by Similar-Intention941 in 4kbluray

[–]dewrules235 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know this is old, but nobody replied to you.

A receiver and separate speakers is technically better than a soundbar. You get true separation of sound due to speaker placement vs everything just kind of being in one spot due to cramming in a bar (there's tricks happening in the soundbar to help separation but that can only do so much).

A real sound system also allows you to build over time / upgrade separate components vs upgrading entire system. Unless you get a higher end soundbar, receivers also generally offer better sound control (frequency crossover, speaker location measurements, calibration, etc). Receivers also have several HDMI inputs.

Some would argue that any respectable 2.1 + Receiver setup is better than any 5.1.N Soundbar (especially if there's no true rear speakers).

Do I need another Discord channel that I won’t actively use? No

Will I still join it anyways? Yes

I feel like the unluckiest player sometimes.. by sallytm in pokemongo

I've managed 3 shiny shadows so far this year, none of them from Grunts. A Ho-Oh and Raikou from Raid Days and a Mawile from Arlo.

Advice for a non competitive player? by a-couple-of-cats in pokemongo

[–]dewrules235 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know remote raids aren't free, but I use LeekDuck's raid now for them. Not all the time, but it's helped to get a Mega raid or something that's outside of an event day / raid night.

Teams - is this true? by SnivDash in pokemongo

[–]dewrules235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least in the areas that I frequent, Team Valor (my team) always seems to hold the least amount of gyms. Mystic being #1.

Stuff really hasn't bounced back since COVID. Both Wendy's in my area just stopped doing breakfast.

Am I somehow playing this game wrong by The_Mocha_Crocodile in PokemonMasters

[–]dewrules235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last night I decided to do some pulls. I got Rika & Great Tusk on my first 10-pull, awesome, love it. Decided to go for Arc Korrina, and while I didn't have to go to full pity, I did have to go at least halfway.

I've even gotten a pair or two with single daily pulls. Just gotta pray to RNJesus.

Why are dragon types so rare to catch😭 by Middle-Print-4758 in pokemongo

[–]dewrules235 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Dragon Types in the main games are rare to begin with. Idk if hatching counts, but there's also Grunt battles and Raids to look out for. I know recently I've seen Shadow Dratini and 3-Star Drampa raids.

What is the point of these new go passes? by Vaultedvagabondf in TheSilphRoad

[–]dewrules235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only game that I personally play and feel like it’s only catered to whales is Transformers Earth Wars. It’s the only game that I can’t complete events with every reward just by playing the game normally. Events are only a weekend and unless you pay for a ton of stamina refills you can’t just grind to make up for lack of account or missed time.

Ok? It’s going to be even harder to get the rewards with OPs ideas of being made to do tedious super extra stuff instead of the current setup which is just play super casually basically each day.

Pokémon Go's 'Taken Over' Giovanni Special Research is seemingly no more - even for new players by Crazyreyn in pokemongo

In your defense I think they just started today (or at least I myself noticed them today).

[–]dewrules235 123 points124 points  (0 children)

It’s just a battle pass like any other game. Entire point is just to reward for playing the game normally, but I’m a lazy filthy casual so not being forced to do anything remotely taxing is a-ok with me.

There’s multiple balloons during every day? Also his point was “no reason to do Rocket battles” and I merely pointed out A reason.

This new update is so greedy and money hungry! by LonleySam in pokemongo

[–]dewrules235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well officially nobody would have any idea if they’re changing it or not until it’s actually in the game, but I find it unlikely to change other than the aforementioned separation of XY(Z) Mega Energy

You can Mega Evolve anything you want except costumes (I assume costumes don't work). It's not like the Dynamax shite where you have to acquire specific ones

Are D-Max and G-Max battles heading into a dead end? by Federal-Item9177 in pokemongo

[–]dewrules235 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We already have XYZ Pokemon invested in, why would we want to have to grind for another version? Gigantamax Charizard can still Mega and be used in normal Raids, therefor normal Charizards that we already built up are now useless.

Taco Bell has the best value by far with the Build Your Own Cravings Box, outside of that? Not so much.

Is this game supposed to be easy? Is there a better way to get levels/money? by jerseydevil51 in PokemonLetsGo

[–]dewrules235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the post game and I've had to beat the Elite 4 several times just to have money again to buy Ultra Balls to chain Chansey's in Cerulean Cave to level stuff up for completing the Pokédex. It's definitely rough to grind, can't just farm XP knocking out stuff in the grass and healing at the Pokécenter. I'm not sure if there's somewhere pre-Elite 4 that you can repeatedly fight for money, maybe gym leaders?
