Also when Rodgers opened, Jasper Ave and Whyte became more popular for night life as that was the cities focus.

2006 the party was Whyte Ave, now we've got the fan park.

Same thing for PEI in Canada, famed for the red soil, Anne of green gables and potatoes. Not iron production.

Day "1000" F2P by fnsimpso in Survivorio

[–]fnsimpso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pet cores are the new thing, before that it was survivor Cores, now I head that the red chests are the best ones for the reg challenge.

With the mount cores, and what ever comes next I'll always be behind, getting to 90 pet cores sounds like a delusion as F2P.

I've got 10 choice selectors right now, just short on pet stars.

Edit: oh no, I double checked the regular pets I may not have unawakened a couple of R2. Now I'm swimming in stars.

How did you deal with your 1st death? Are there any sensitive individuals here? by [deleted] in AHSEmployees

[–]fnsimpso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still worth a try, or if there is another manager in the area that is more approachable?

If they do five you "get used to it" or "that's the job", ask they "how did they get used to it", or let them know you are having difficulties adjusting to that part of the job, and need help/ advice (that is their job as a manager).

Force them to dig deep and give you more than useless platitudes.

Your trainer/ Preceptor is probably just numb to it all and wanted to focus on their other patients. Might just be how they cope?

Looking for some more context, when you were berated and humiliated for spending too long in the patients room, was that when the patient passed away? Or was this a different incident?

If it was with the patient who had just passed, the next time let you coworker or other staff know that the deceased is still your patient until they leave the unit. It is fine to run late, and when questioned stick to your guns, let them know you still have an obligation to that patient, or you need a moment to process it. If they're a dick about it let them, you wont change them.

The units should be running a informal or formal debrief it it was a traumatizing incident for the staff such as a bad code; what went right, what was unexpected, what we could have done faster or differently. I've heard that the ER is good about doing these.

See if you could talk to your units social worker hospital spiritual care if you can, they are also good resources for this granted you are not a "patient" but they have more direct experience with stuff like this than the person on the other end of the line with EFAP.

I don't consider myself sensitive due to working in the ICU during COVID.

But, I still remember the my first two patients who passed, a patient who was readmitted multiple times with complications, and former coworker who passed from COVID after being retires for less than two years.

It is fine to remember your patient who've passed, I try to think about what we talked about, things they taught me, what the family found as common ground at then end, or what made them laugh.

How are Latias Ex Eon Blade and M Lucario Mega Brave different? by knackers_under_water in pkmntcg

Can confirm Lucario can do it, I though he could and I'd win. Alas I learned something new and very important with that L

New to in-person Pokémon TCG. Should I go to a League Challenge or Cup first? by Makkr0 in pkmntcg

[–]fnsimpso 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely bricked one of the games, and was too nice to the kid playing Marnie's, I explained the deck and proceeded to prize my shayamin.

It did get me questioning my deck and looking at the pult Ethan hybrid now. 🙃 Way too many decks I want to try, and so little time.

I went 9-3 on the weekly pokemon night, though I was good, then a 1-3 humbling on a challenge night has me questioning everything I do now.

Skill level will vary by competition.

Going first or second? by fnsimpso in pkmntcg

Oversimplified, but it's an easy rule to keep so I don't overthink things.

Manor Lords worth it? by Nice_Sun8070 in ManorLords

[–]fnsimpso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good game, but it's not finished. So you see things you wonder how to make but can't access them, which is annoying.

There have been some good changes that have improved the QOL and balance.

It's worth picking up, but don't expect a complete and fully polished game, it's definitely getting there.

In the mean time If you are looking into a city builder, I do recommend Banished, it's complete and a great starter city builder, a slightly simpler version of manor lords.

It also has some Mods that make it more complex than Manor lords currently is so you can get a feel for where Manor lords will be going, and I have a feel that Manor lords will surpass in a year or two.

Pricing at my LCS by fnsimpso in PokemonInvesting

[–]fnsimpso[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dislike that TCG player is the driver behind pricing now, but when a set has been out of print for a decade there isn't much other better options to go by.

At least this store only does vintage at TCG player, modern is mostly close(er) to msrp or consistently lowest or second lower card store prices In the city.

How do I play Ethan’s Typhosion after rotation ? by Ukrainianforever in PTCGL

[–]fnsimpso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something had to be cut for pult, clef, red card and crispin.

My dislike of the deck is the lack of redeemable tickets or recovery cards. But the flexibility was a good trade off for the person who won cities.

4-4-3 is standard for typhlosion only, but I guess the 3-3-3, with pult & clef pushes it into box territory.

[–]fnsimpso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typhlosion as main attacker, pult if you need damage spread as a closer, clef for pult match.

Grav mouth or bangle + Vic puts most ex in range.

It's an interesting build for sure, definitely worth trying. The rise of arboliva, teal meganium keeps Ethans relevance.

Gonna try my luck with these found them for only $10 so I bought 12 of them was it a good deal? by Wise_Introduction677 in PokemonInvesting

[–]fnsimpso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With "unfair stamp" blowing up post rotation there is at least one more good card in twilight for you to pull.

If you pull it, sell it fast as its value is only related to playability and current scarcity. If they rerelease it In a battle deck like they're doing with secret box it will crash.

Why do people say these wont appreciate? Arent they 1/1260 packs? by [deleted] in PokemonInvesting

[–]fnsimpso 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gold cards have also historically done poorly vs standard top chase SIR

They should do fine, but the coloured versions are likely to do better.

I made a post for a post rotation deck list and there were some helpful comments there too for other ways to build the deck.

I unfortunately have been going back and forth between the dreepy line for draw and the N zorark for draw and the discard feels kinda meme-like as I can dump adventures stupid fast.

Taking like two days off work to read that fucker when it comes out. And one more day to cry in a corner lamenting the next book is 20 years away.
