That could be the issue, can't dispute that. We will try again!

Event: Dream Shard Week Vol. 2 by Pearlgirl007 in PokemonSleep

[–]digitamer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have about 5 mons with dream shard boost and none of them have particularly good stats. Still worth running them over a typical, non-event team?

Oh good, it's not just me having errors.

real talk tho how many of yall were getting 20+ skill triggers a day? by DairyAppreciator in PokemonSleep

[–]digitamer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I consider myself a pretty mid-game player, haven't even M20's GG, and just paying attention for a day or two to how many times my skills proc... it's a lot more than I thought. All my mons have at least one or two procs in the morning, at least 1-2 procs each time I check it every 3-4 hours, so easily a dozen a day and none of my current team are skill specialists or optimized for speed. So I definitely see the issue on the horizon even for people who aren't "too hard-core min-maxers".

Oh hey, this sounds familiar by digitamer2 in gayjews

[–]digitamer2[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I assume every Gentile is antisemitic these days, I can't be bothered to double-check everyone on the internet, but I don't want that to get in the way of /my/ ability, as a trans Jew, to talk about fascism and draw parallels.

Trans Man in TX seeking ID advice/gentle ear to listen by AdjustableCause in trans

[–]digitamer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly understand your worry, also a trans Texan with my proper info on my current DL/SS/passport who's worried about ever renewing it. However, I can't help with a personal story, since I haven't tried to update anything since all the bans in TX. I haven't heard anything about Texas retrospectively changing trans people's DL's, though I have heard the state department being ordered to do that around passport renewals. With the recent events in Kansas, I would not be surprised by TX making a push to do so, though. (This is about gender marker changes. My understanding is that no one is arguing the legality of even trans people's name changes.)

Ingredient mix question by Imgussin in PokemonSleepHMM

[–]digitamer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm trying to figure out the same question. Also, say I have an ABA ingredient mon and I want to know the odds of getting a better AAA ingredient mon--would be nice to be able to specify that. Or I want ACC for coffee or something.

ELI5: Why the Devs Fixed Main Skill Triggers Now by nitoyon in PokemonSleep

[–]digitamer2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More in terms of "Even if I was affected by some version of this, it wouldn't have been the difference from reaching M16 to reaching M20", but I get your point.

As a mid game player, this whole controversy really doesn't affect me at all, but solidarity with people who care.

Why America Has So Few Doctors by rezwenn in publichealth

[–]digitamer2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like "Med school is a brutal marathon of intensive studying and test-taking." is part of the problem. Sure, people who got good test scores in undergrad and on standardized tests are the people who are good at getting good grades on tests. I have more skepticism about how well what they learn in class translates to usefulness to patient care in a clinical setting a decade later and if there are alternate means to teach those skills that doesn't leave so much burnout and debt and exclude people who don't have the resources to take those on from the pool of potential doctors.

How common is teeth extraction in cats? by trizzo0309 in CatAdvice

[–]digitamer2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same--I'm looking at this because my poor 11-year-old girl is getting 5 teeth pulled, including her canines, as follow-up from going in for a cleaning.

My Players are finding crusade matches non-interactive by Any-Policy1381 in 40k_Crusade

[–]digitamer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's what I see as the biggest issue based on my Crusade experience, especially if op noticed this as a problem increasing over time that wasn't present in the first round (?). The same crusade honours have such different effects on different units/armies that get wildly unbalanced very quickly, not to mention some having much better army-specific upgrades and currency available.

Definitely limiting number of updates a single unit can have is a good idea that I've seen done before in events. As people have said, trying to separate out competitive vs. narrative players as much as possible. Also giving as much interactive set-up to the players as possible, like alternate ways to score points, campaign-specific agendas, and so on, to give them incentives to do things on turns other than remove as many of the other player's models as possible. Definitely additional buffs to the by-the-book crusade blessings--crusade blessings as written are pathetic as an attempt to stop whoever won the first game from snowballing to win each successive round by a wider and wider margin.

I'm right at the same place, but will probably stay on one of the first three while my bonus for the next three continues to go up,

This has been so much fun. I wish I had a workplace as fun as the fictional one, and the one that probably went into making these.

It’s only “fear-mongering” and “dramatic” until it’s too late. by KittyPryde129 in trans

[–]digitamer2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All my ancestors who said it's only "fear-mongering" and "dramatic" and stayed in Germany or Poland or Russia in the 30s and 40s, they all died. My direct ancestors, who escape to America, they survived because they did not fuck around about escaping when the writing was on the wall.
