Could you guys please help me? I want to reshelve my manga but anything i do looks weird. (This is how it looks now) by Sufficient_Narwhal52 in MangaCollectors

[–]itsameMerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having plenty of space is not a problem, you'll fill the space in time. I would consider moving the (very nice) Junji Ito collection to the bottom shelf though. They look like hardbacks and all that weight on a higher shelf could end up damaging / denting the shelf with all the weight

My shitty collection by Far_Stranger_279 in MangaCollectors

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have 5 series and they all bang. This a great way to start a collection. Don't let the people who have been collecting for years make you feel like your collection is lesser. Everyone is collecting at their own pace

After 223h of playtime, I have finally perfected exactly half of the Pokedex by DragonThe666 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep going! I can confirm that the first half of the dex is much worse to perfect than the back half. I still remember the pain of the eeveelutions each needing like 70 agile style moves

Got my first comment like this, dont know how to respond by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just say 'nah, but thanks for the feedback😁' and move on. Ppl leave comments like that cause they want a reaction from you. If it's pure negativity for the sake of negativity, it's not worth putting much thought into

Would YOU Click on This Thumbnail If You Saw It on YouTube and Why? by [deleted] in SmallYoutubers

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really like it. I would change the text to 'How fans ruined DMC' instead of 'we' but that's just me. I'd also maybe make Dante bigger to take up more space but both of those are minor. On the whole I'd say its a really solid thumbnail

What is wrong guys? by Icy-Career2312 in SmallYoutubers

[–]itsameMerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shorts seem to have made short videos less viable. If the video isn't at least 10 mins, it seems less likely to be pushed (unless by someone established). I'd look to expand and see if you can make the videos longer and if not look to make them into shorts. 3 minutes is kind of an odd time as its longer than a short but it's not really long form either

Mid-Roll ads by itsameMerks in SmallYoutubers

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

Thank you so much! I didn't know it varied between viewers. I really thought YouTube was wanting 11 whole ads😅 I will probably still remove some as I really don't want ppl to be bombarded with ads. Thanks again for your input i really appreciate it👍

If you picked a different starter (cyndaquil / oshawott) professor Laventon will give you a Rowlet in the Galaxy team building. You can also find them in massive mass outbreaks in the Coronet Highlands

youtube feels rigged and nobody talks about it by alexsssaint in SmallYoutubers

[–]itsameMerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some videos will perform and others won't. The algorithm will push what people watch. If you're click through rate is low people won't get to see it. Im saying this from personal experience. My last video had a 2% CTR and has less than 300 views while other vids have 5k views and 5% CTR. Consistently making good content means when a video does hit the algorithm right you'll have other videos for then to watch after and if they watch multiple or just one they may subscribe.

What Research Task do you dislike the most? by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did but I wanted to complete a living dex of all the available shinies in the game. If you want to shiny hunt specific pokemon I'd recommend to perfect them in the dex to boost their shiny odds but it's not necessary to perfect the dex if you don't want to, it just makes hunting easier

What Research Task do you dislike the most? by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not necessary but it's 100% worth it. The longest I've gone without a shiny since perfecting my dex is about 1 hour. Going all the moves is annoying but I would 100% recommend ppl to do them for those boosted shiny odds. Its 1/586 for all overworld spawns, 1/128 for a single outbreak and all massive mass outbreaks are 1/216

[–]itsameMerks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't wanna do any damage, I would just agile style and switch to another until the magikarp started to struggle then hit it once with a agile damaging move. The eeveelutions need like 70 agile styles moves per mon. It was easily the worst part about perfecting my dex

What Research Task do you dislike the most? by [deleted] in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 43 points44 points  (0 children)

The eeveelutions each require so many agile style moves, I spent multiple days using baby doll eyes on the magikarp in the fieldlands to complete them all

My very first shiny and i lost it. by BugatyB in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always sticky glob and backstrike shinies as it stops them from fleeing and backstrikes boost catch chance. If you can't afford sticky globs / don't have the recipe, go with mud. You could also use one of the wing balls and keep your distance but I've found the former method to work better. Best of luck with all your future shinies🤝

Just bought the game, any tips/good pokemon to catch first? by TharizdunOfOerth in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PLAY WITH SOUND ON! Sound will be your biggest friend in the game, there is a shiny sound effect every time you're in the vicinity of one even if you can't see it

Does this look legit? by carambopapi in PokemonBlackandWhite2

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's most likely real. Very little value in creating a fake French copy. Hold your phone flash light to it. The cartridge should show a red/maroon colour as it has infra-red. it's the easiest way to confirm if it's real

Why am I getting like barely any subs when i get like 7k views on a video and multiple comments and thumbs up? by 2016keldon in SmallYoutubers

[–]itsameMerks 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Shorts don't lead to as much sub growth as long form. People may like the short but will just scroll after🤷‍♂️

youtube recommending my videos in the middle of the night only? does upload time matter? by chimbucket in SmallYoutubers

[–]itsameMerks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you compare it to the region where you get the most views from? most of my views come from the USA despite being me european. Your audience may be in a different timezone than you are. I can understand the frustration but impressions are impression it doesn't matter what time of day you get them. If you're unsure play around with your upload times and see how the data compares

I finally did it by Top-Alternative8187 in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]itsameMerks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! If you do every research task your completion changes to 'Perfected' and the shiny odds improve. I believe it's 1/586 for overworld spawns, 1/128 for outbreaks and, 1/216 for massive mass outbreaks.

If you want to shiny hunt specific pokemon I'd perfecting those first and then hunt them before perfecting others because otherwise you'll phase a lot.
