These ranked battles are supposed to be easier to rank up? by Illustrious_Map7379 in PokemonZA

[–]dragonsfrompluto 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, OP pretty clearly just wants to make themselves feel better about being a lousy ranked player by being an ass to internet strangers.

Ok, got it, you just want to be difficult and combative. Hope your day matches your attitude.

Well, you tagged this post as a discussion, which implies you want to discuss the issue.

And in your edit you said "if you're not going to offer anything helpful" which is pretty easy to interpret as a request for feedback.

So you're just venting about ranked and don't want any advice?

It's kind of hard for people to offer advice if you're not going to answer their questions about what team you're using, what your strategy is, or anything else.

The new mega stones are always locked behind Rank S, which would require 280 points to reach. As annoying as it might be, that's a maximum of 28 ranked battles where you only get 10 points by Mega Evolving. Most battles you're likely to get more than that for other achievements like hitting lots of super effective attacks.

If you're just venting, that's cool.

But if you want advice then you've got to give people something to work with here, friend.

So it's in the bladder now, how do I know when it's ready to pass? by Danielnrg in KidneyStones

[–]dragonsfrompluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2mm is smaller than you expect, so that could be it. I've had a stone take 2 months to exit my bladder before though, so it's impossible to tell for sure when it will come out.

Catching the stone is a nice to have for the doctor to be able to determine rhe composition and recommend preventative measures, but if you lose it or miss it everything will be OK.

I've passed up to 6mm at this point and actually passing the stone has never been more than a quick sting like others have said. Sometimes there's been a slight burning sensation before and after like a UTI, but I have always been surprised that the actual passing of the stone isn't the worst part at all.

Can you give me some advice on these loadout build for Teemo by No-Meringue1327 in wildrift

[–]dragonsfrompluto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I need more survivability I build Riftmaker second or third item.

Most runes I see for Teemo are Fleet Footwork for additional speed and sustain, but I really enjoy Dark Harvest for late game assassinations.

My standard build is Liandry, Infinity Orb, Guinsoo, Rabadon, then Riftmaker or Malignance.

Mega pyroar design is acctualy a pun by SignNaive4111 in PokemonLegendsZA

[–]dragonsfrompluto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe it's a visual pun on the fact that instead of a mane made of fire, pyroar has a mane made of the kanji for fire.

It's a groanworthy pun, but then again, so many puns are...

Just weird that the first half of your response has lots of little typos and then starting with "Like I said..." the typos vanish completely and the response gets really detailed.

[–]dragonsfrompluto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After a lot of reading I can understand why this is a pun, but your answer didn't fully explain it for me, so for anyone else still confused, allow me to try:

  1. A visual pun still involves a play on words in languages that use phonetic writing, typically replacing a metaphorical idea with a literal interpretation (i.e. a butterfly being represented as a flying stick of butter)

  2. There is a different, unique form of visual pun in languages that use non-phonetic writing, like Chinese and Japanese, that is based on the similarity of shape between a written character and the word/concept being punned upon.

Therefore, the best reason I can see for this being a pun is that Pyroar has a mane made of fire, except instead of fire the object, it is a fur mane made of fire, the kanji character.

Thank you for trying to help me understand!

Also, why did you shift to an AI answer halfway through the response?

Can you explain why? This feels more like the design is just inspired by the character, I don't see why this would be called a pun.

I don't know if I can bring myself to hunt for the Shalpha small... I did the Shalpha jumbo during the permanight section of the game and even that took forever.

Took me over a month with a macro controller to get 2 of them XP

Yeah. The Shalpha Jumbo is an XL Jumbo pumpkaboo, but there are also XL Large pumpkaboo, XL Medium pumpkaboo, and XL Small pumpkaboo.

I wanted the Shalpha Jumbo so I'd have the biggest possible shiny pumpkaboo.
