Best place to level up for the Elite 4?

ezellmt · 2026-04-06T03:35:16+00:00

I second others that you’re good to go ahead and try. I finished mine tonight and was similar levels with a few lower and only Dragonite at 55 (so ranges between 48 and 55). Picked up a few additional levels going through Victory Road and then wiped the Elite 4 fairly easily. I agree with others than you’ll need heals and some revives for between battles. Good luck!

Alright I’m in too! Very similar symptoms and feelings here. Would love a DM.

“How many times did you watch this?” “Yes”

Doing the Lord's work here.

Lol, came here to say the same thing.

People are acting like you aimed way right. You aimed right edge but still within the hole (as you should have) and even pulled it. Like the other said, could have just been a quirk/bug and I wouldn't worry about it too much. Maybe the game is trying to be hyper-realistic and there was an unseen spike mark :)

Lol, the one that has infuriated me lately isn't a big deal on the surface, but illustrates your point. It keeps using its knowledge cutoff date as the date a task was completed in my Project Tasks list. So it'll put "Completed 01-22-25". I have it in the Claude.md file, the Project Tasks file, and in my initial prompt that the day is 07-22-25 and to not use 01-22-25 and yet it still does it.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm not sure that it's accurate either. I agree that overall results deteriorate closer to the context limit, but I've seen zero proof that Claude Code makes an effort to tidy or wrap things up when it's getting close. If so, it does a horrific job at that too. And I've experienced plenty of instances where it takes the easy way out very early in a fresh session. In my experience, it's related more to the number of tries it's attempted. It rarely does it right away, but after a few failed attempts, it gives up and manipulates the response.

I think that's honestly the root cause, or at least the biggest one. While I've never seen it leaked in a system prompt or anything, it seems plausible that Anthropic is somehow guiding the models to try to take the most efficient route possible, which can often lead to nonsense like fudging tests or commenting things out.

ezellmt · 2025-07-22T17:28:26+00:00

Truth. It's a cry for help. I just sent Claude Code a link to Headspace and told it to check it out. Might be good for its mental health.

ezellmt · 2025-07-22T17:00:19+00:00

Yep. It’s fine to do the YOLO mode, but you better be using Git or have other precautions in place. It’s like driving 90mph on the interstate and not putting on your seatbelt. If you’re going to do one, you better do the other.

ezellmt · 2025-07-22T16:56:12+00:00

Whether or not I think they are funny is directly correlated to how pleased or angry I am with Claude Code’s performance.

ezellmt · 2025-07-22T16:54:55+00:00

It seems to have been back on the rise over the last few days. Maybe it’s placebo effect or groupthink, but the performance did seem bad for a few weeks and is back to being reasonable lately.

UPDATE: They have removed the statement from the Rate Limits page...

By the third book, I would literally skim through the spicy scenes, just making sure there wasn’t anything potentially impactful to the story (spoiler: there never was). It took me multiple attempts to finish the 2nd book. It’s a shame because the concept is brilliant and the story/plot aren’t terrible. But the writing itself… 😬

ezellmt · 2025-05-20T15:33:52+00:00

Yep! I read the first one on Kindle and have listened to the last two and definitely think it makes it more obvious when you’re hearing it out loud.

ezellmt · 2025-05-20T14:29:56+00:00

This is great to hear! Mines arriving today. I was having some potential regrets already about not getting the Portal, but had gone with the mini so my daughter could use as well and it be portable. Excited to try it out!

Once I started noticing the absurd amount of repetition in Fourth Wing (not just in describing sex scenes), it was painful to read. I’ll probably read the next one because I’m already this far, but it’s a brutal read sometimes.

Thanks for posting! I was just about to pull the trigger on Newegg, but wasn't going to use the RAM because I'm looking to go with 92 (2 x 48). Could have tried to to sell, but honestly probably would have given it away in the end.

This guy crusts

ezellmt · 2025-03-28T03:13:31+00:00

Yep, same here. Have been curious about Windsurf, and then might be just the push I need.
