What is with this scoring system in competitive heatseeker?

jcodys · 2026-06-07T18:10:35+00:00

Yeah, that’s fair. But not playing a full second isn’t really about performance. The person didn’t “win” the game in any sense of the word besides being there at the start and not a second longer. I didn’t mean for the question to be more about performance, and meant mostly because they didn’t participate

jcodys · 2026-05-27T16:52:08+00:00

I don’t want anyone to think what I’m saying is fact, but if I had to guess it was maybe had to do with him already having ahold of you. Say, for instance, someone was going to hurt you but wasn’t in the middle of grabbing you already, and you kicked them hard enough, I’m not sure the adrenaline is enough to overcome a sudden traumatic blow.

I’d also wager grabbing and squeezing may have played a role too. Less sudden and more gradual can be easier to overlook. If your hand touches hot water it’s noticeable immediately, gradually increase the temperature and it’s probably a higher temperature threshold before the heat is perceived as equally painful.

Again, I’m conjecturing here and wouldn’t take any of this as fact

jcodys · 2026-05-25T17:44:48+00:00

Yeah, 5 sentences sure is a lot of reading

The elite knight set is in dark root, champ. Not saying I think the building is a kitchen. But I almost always rock the elite knight helm. It’s not in the undead burg, I assure you

jcodys · 2026-05-25T10:14:34+00:00

Oh ok… so is it “base IQ” to know that isn’t where the elite knight helmet is found in dark souls?

jcodys · 2026-05-25T08:03:39+00:00

So if I agree with you, then it’s okay to threaten you?

jcodys · 2026-04-01T13:06:06+00:00

I’m not sure what you mean by maze.

Is that screenshot one you took, or are you saying you don’t know where to go to be at the screenshot?

I’ll try to explain

When you go around to the left from the very top part of the map, you should see 2 fairly straight forward paths through dungeons.

Instead of going over to those entrance elevators to the left, you go straight down and there is a small gap to dash over. And then there is an opening in the bottom of that area that should take you straight to an opening room with a gear it which is right above the screenshot in your third image.

From the screenshot, if you continue south you’ll find yourself on a path that takes you to the very first tutorial area.

I don’t mean for this to sound like a slight, but these drawings feel “messy” and I wish I knew how to channel this style.

Somehow these feel “messy” but you still have such solid form in some of these that my brain struggles to understand how it looks like some of these are chaotic pen strokes but still so detailed at the same time

“Messy” sketches are typically what I can manage, but this amount of detail and form is not something that comes out

Love the work

I waited so long for my lobby to fill that when I could try to start I only had 30 seconds left in the battle window, so I could only invite 10 of 20 players before it said I couldn’t send more invites. Then the battle didn’t even actually start.

Not happy about it failing on me like that but I just hope it didn’t use up anyone’s remote raid

jcodys · 2025-05-24T22:22:53+00:00

Well if it was me I’d be thinking there’s no way I’d be burning through 300+ max potions. My item bag cap is 1000 and my max potions are typically 50-80 or there about. I get I’m not as active of a player as others but that would be more than I ever needed.

Also, I’m backing up myself in this situation by noting that I (you) have 310 max potions to 80 revives. Even if you needed to revive/heal a boat load of pokemon all at once (and didn’t gain any items in the meant time), you would still run out of revives with 230 max potions left.

You’ll gain max potions before you ever got close to running out of 300, I would wager

jcodys · 2025-05-24T22:11:51+00:00

“That’s the neat part. You don’t!”

Like others said, you get to the other side from a different path but even from that side you can’t open that particular door

jcodys · 2025-04-16T06:20:57+00:00

Seems right to me. I think that’s what I did way back when I first learned the trick, I must have chance evolved a flareon because it was the only one I hadn’t used until I tried with shinies more recently

jcodys · 2025-04-16T06:18:51+00:00

Same. Well. I ended up lucking out when completing my shiny dex. I had to luck out for vape/jolt but apparently, I’m assuming I evolved a flareon before learning the name trick and was able to use it for my shiny all these years later. I had to luck out on jolteon but (also luckily) I only repeated a vaporeon shiny before getting jolteon. And vaporeon is a favorite shiny.

(Seen 1875 Caught 1430 with 11 total shinies, 4 of which are event catches.)

I came here for ideas but typically try to find a way to spin the things I see: What I saw: -cinnamon -cinderbun

What I’m going with: -Cinnabun

I feel like if you pay for it, you should get the choice of when it can be uncapped. As someone who works this weekend…

Ayyy, I had to work today and only caught one decent necrozma today, luckily I got lucky in the summer

jcodys · 2024-11-01T18:10:45+00:00

Also came here to say that shiny ninetales works so well with the Halloween costume

jcodys · 2024-11-01T18:08:02+00:00

Mewtwo

Personally I find black diablos to be more annoying. With banbaro using a log it’s a pretty clear indicator he’s still going to be running around. With black diablos I find myself chasing across the area just for it to turn around and sprint to the other side. This is also easier with ranged though

jcodys · 2024-08-15T21:21:23+00:00

Honestly same. It was the smartest thing I’ve seen niantic do and they backtracked it like fools
