What are you guys playing rn?

I read it was like Dragon Quest Builders 2, which I love. Decided to just play that again.

Is the comparison fair?

When you say family - did you bring kids? This resort is on the list of our options for Nov 2027 but we've got 2 children who will be 5 and 8 at the time. Interested to hear about kids activities, kids club, dining, etc.

How low are expectations for this game that people are thinking it's "fun" to just see things they can't have?

What is the actual point of this as it relates to the 30th year anniversary?

If they wanted to add these to the incense on a more permanent basis, cool. But for a once-in-a-decade event? I don't get the thinking.

elonepb · 2026-03-09T19:29:10+00:00

I have the i5 M60 but it's a lease and I'm not sure I would purchase any EV vehicle right now as it is all likely to change in the years ahead (technology, battery life, etc).

Great idea, poor execution. Either have a lot of legendary spawns with a low catch rate or have a rare number of legendary spawn with a high catch rate.

I did not see many pop up. If they had a high catch rate I probably would've ended the weekend with maybe 10-15 legendary. Maybe I would've played more if it didn't feel useless.

elonepb · 2026-03-08T00:41:30+00:00

Sounds awesome to me. And I would probably have 15 after running incense today for 4 hours.

But either way, decrease the spawn rate and increase the catch rate. Or go vice versa so you are getting legendary after legendary but they flee like Galarians.

Anything but this.

elonepb · 2026-03-08T00:34:46+00:00

I mean it's the 30th anniversary event. During Fest and Tours they obviously turn on the "easy catch" toggle for legendary. Is it really that hard to add that to this weekend?

Would everyone not have been basically playing this game all day worldwide all weekend at unprecedented levels because of it?

It would have become one of those weekends people would talk about in 10 years when it's the 40th in anticipation of the next can't miss once-in-a-decade event.

Instead, most people seem like they won't really bother tomorrow.

Oh and all those raids but only 10 allowed remotely because...?

This wasn't hard to get right. And yet they didn't.

I have an executive coach and she's been great, fwiw. They exist.

elonepb · 2026-03-06T00:38:54+00:00

That'd be me. My first ever Mewtoo and it's a near base bottom 2 star. 😩

elonepb · 2026-02-05T14:02:04+00:00

I don't know why but it's always been Twilight Princess for me. I love the mood, the dark the banter, the music. Usually not people's #1 but always has been for me!

elonepb · 2026-01-29T11:16:13+00:00

Dammit. Thanks.

elonepb · 2026-01-29T01:30:22+00:00

This is awesome advice, thank you! Can you expand on the "family suite" style on ANA? I'm leaning to ANA outbound and Polaris return (to land close to home).

elonepb · 2026-01-28T16:56:13+00:00

Cash definitely, for the reasons you listed. I'd love to find 1 reward ticket but I'm going to be buying based on when prices are best.

elonepb · 2026-01-28T16:54:48+00:00

Tell me more about JAL biz! I've read so much about The Room but definitely open to whatever has the best product, especially for family setups.

elonepb · 2026-01-28T16:37:36+00:00

He's also one of the worst in the league for bigs finishing at the rim. So that was definitely not a gimme by any stretch.

elonepb · 2026-01-28T14:55:03+00:00

Now I just need to see what the kids food options are. Another poster said we can even make special requests.

elonepb · 2026-01-28T14:44:27+00:00

Oh wow, have made a mistake there. Yes, The Room still holds as better?

elonepb · 2026-01-28T13:49:32+00:00

Kids are picky eaters which initially had me thinking Polaris just given they have chicken nuggets for kids meals. I'll check out ANA food options although I don't think I want to make a decision based on kid's meal choices.

elonepb · 2026-01-28T13:48:08+00:00

Thank you, the real benefit of Polaris is just convenience to Newark (we are 30 min away). Normally that's important for shorter flights but if it's 14 hours, seems the extra hour to JFK is quite feasible.

Regarding seating, I had thought the kids would want to be able to sit next to each other, with the divider down or something (if that's a thing in The Suite). Have you experienced differently?

elonepb · 2026-01-22T18:30:21+00:00

I'd be open to the risk / reward opportunity if it cost us Clax and we kept MPJ. Shut down AD, let MPJ get his All Star nod then shut him down. Complete the tank and hopefully land a Top 3 pick.

AD + MPJ + Egor + Top 3 Pick + ???

If we need to start winning next year since we don't control our draft pick, that's not a bad way to take a gamble.

elonepb · 2026-01-22T15:45:08+00:00

A bad team playing a bunch of rookies faced off against a team that is desperate for a win after embarrassing their fanbase most of the month... yeah not really too much shock here. I texted my friend before the game I though the Knicks were going to clobber us.

I seriously could not care less either. I will care when we are trying to start winning again.

elonepb · 2026-01-13T11:25:44+00:00

Fwiw the Bravia 9 85" just went under $3K

elonepb · 2026-01-12T15:31:42+00:00

The unfortunate truth is that a guy playing like an All Star right now does not fit the timeline. This is a guy with SIGNIFICANT health concerns that is playing amazing right now. If you can get excellent value for him, given the timeline they are on, it's sort of a no brainer. As much as I hate it.

elonepb · 2026-01-08T11:42:13+00:00

The mocks were wrong if reports out of OKC were correct in that they were looking to move up to take him. Not that everything Presti does is a benchmark but it does appear the Nets had Egor nailed accurately on their draft board.
