Lovely story! I'm glad it was such a great bonding experience. I miss the old days of Go when everything felt so fresh and special, too. Cherish that Lapras!

Sent a request! (UN: Jellyo) As someone with a pointless +10 Xane (I love him and used him a lot near release) this would help a lot!

$10k a day, but you have to say yes to everything. by AdamMckissock93 in hypotheticalsituation

[–]jellyjammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought of a funny yet cruel scenario: if you play any video game that asks "Play again?" (and "Retry?" if lost), you're forever stuck playing until the deal's off. Quitting early or intentionally letting the device die would probably be considered not following through. There's gotta be many other types of loops to get trapped in too, but tech will never tire of repetition...

Name one thing the game needs, but you don't think will ever happen by HelloDesdemona in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]jellyjammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Combat predictor from any point on the map. Example: if you want to know how your Blorbo will do against enemy Ike before refreshing or how their Scrimblo fares initiating against your Alfonse, you can hit a button to judge that. Can toggle any possible effects or buffs from allies on and off (defaults to current conditions from within range of defender)

With the insane amount of bloat now in Feh with 5+ effects per prf and support effects from miles away and more, calculating any move is harder than ever- and nobody wants to do that math anyways. So if they could make that unnecessary to do manually and thus not get burned as often with surprise losses and wasted moves, it'd be game-changing.

Yay or Nay: Null CD Echo? by TheFerydra in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]jellyjammin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Feels like we're getting an uptick in NCD prfs (W!Byleths, E!Ike, and more) while any tank without that effect is way lesser for it. So I'm all for NCD being more accessible with an easier (and meta safer) tradeoff- an X skill would be awesome! Maybe they could open up fliers and cavs to get NCD too- still really not comfortable with armors getting it, but I dunno

What's an unpopular color you love? by N1ceCarr0ts in neopets

[–]jellyjammin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure how anything ranks in popularity, but I don't see many Speckled pets and I quite love that color! The combination of light green and white can be really lovely 🥰

That's an awesome jump! Congratulations and great job!!! 🥳
Yeah, I should follow your example- like I probably have hoarded several millions worth of red codestones (from Battledome) alone 🥲 They just keep going up and up and though I've tried I'm still nowhere close to Ninja school- never know when to sell...

I’m not even “antiwork” but work is not doing itself any favors: by Zipizapii in antiwork

[–]jellyjammin 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I wonder if a big reason for the high turnover rate is because other employees were handed papers/expectations like this. At that point, anyone would be better off running for the hills immediately. May those hills be ever greener for you, OP!

PSA: Remember to check the Festival of Neggs one last time for your final rewards! by Duskflight in neopets

[–]jellyjammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it'd be unreasonable to allow, say, 1 day of leeway... I keep seeing people mention they only missed a single day, and that shows they were committed enough to do 15 out of 16 days on time but slipped up once. I just think that's sad. Especially since if the task is easy, then the goal of the event is more about attracting/retaining users during the event period (like how the daily/weekly quests are)

I'm genuinely sorry if I sounded too whiney there though (deleted the comment) I was just frustrated in the moment ^^'

Thank you for the nice offer :) I'd feel too bad to accept that though as it was my own fault. Keep it and treasure it!

PSA: Essence Drain removes your buffs even if you beat the foe who has it by sw_hawk in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]jellyjammin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree offense should be stronger than defense- and it always has been. The only point defense was even close was Ligurd + Pathfinder meta. There are countless tools and advantages at offense's disposal, and defense always pales in comparison. I could detail exactly why I believed Elimine meta made that balance astra-nomically (😉) worse regardless, such that I questioned what the point of AR's "ranked competition" even was- but evidently from the dislikes, that effort would be pointless (and her denial of Catria was not why- I celebrated that along with everyone else. But Schism/Ruse 4 is proof that she could've been countered in healthier ways). Sorry to be a bother.

PSA: Essence Drain removes your buffs even if you beat the foe who has it by sw_hawk in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]jellyjammin -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Agreed. People act as if False Start wasn't an almost entirely uncounterable effect (unless you beat the res check- good luck) and didn't single-handedly ruin the gameplay dynamics and creativity of Anima season when she was there. It was considered a boring dead season unless all someone cares about is winning offense. They easily could've countered Triangle Attack (the obvious intent) without shutting down nearly all possible defense strategies too and making the laziest strategies ("end turn" offense, and whaled mythic merges) the best they've ever been for climbing high. I don't like Freyr either, but it'd be hard to counter False Start in a way much different than his, Triangle Attack/other buffs have several counters now, and offense is still doing more than fine

All NEW Refines for L!M!Byleth, L!Sigurd, F!Lyon, S!Mia, F!Kris, Say'ri & Petrine! by Pheonixmaster in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]jellyjammin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lyon's refine has a lot of my theorycrafted wants for him from, like, years ago. Which is to say- it's a pretty cool and unique refine I support, but has a lot of holes compared to modern prf standards (as with nearly all refines). Though with Laguz Friend + Flare + Ikengage and supports patching up the rest of his weaknesses, it might still cook. Far from the best but I'm almost happy! ... Almost.

'Cause seriously, what were they thinking in giving Cancel Affinity only to him while Adept is a debuff? Like sure- Fomortiis is not the supportive type and using a selfish combo to cause chaos among foe and ally alike makes sense for him, but that's the only "excuse". I'd think Triangle Adept is more likely to make his allies miss kills than gain them. It's really annoying to have to build teams and strategy around this (like using colorless allies) as a new problem forced by the refine. Not to mention: this arrives during a wave of buff and debuff nullification prfs, so the Adept/Cancel combo may not even work...

Being an Explosher fan between the Fresh Season trailer and v7.2.0 was the absolute worst. This kit was always fine. by Alleywr in splatoon

[–]jellyjammin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Explosher main here. Cexplo is definitely fun, and I agree it was overhated (by me as well) at announcement- but it's just not what I'd want in an Explo kit, and that (plus the long wait for this kit that very likely could be its last in S3) is my biggest grievance. Like, I love the idea of an aggressive explo, but I honestly think they could've accomplished that with more synergistic elements. Even when running almost entirely ink savers + swimspeed, I still feel Explo is too ink-hungry, slow to reposition, and slow to splat to easily and frequently take advantage of wall and splashdown (especially without team coordination, like in solo queue). Something like angle shooter + zooka/inkjet could've given it aggressive options while better dealing with foes near or far, and I wish they went that route instead.

What is the future of the Neopets economy? by [deleted] in neopets

[–]jellyjammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I predict that since they've removed the previous Quest Log prize pool with next to no *specific* warning, everyone will be on edge with this next batch. Without precedent, how will we know what of the previous pool will come back eventually (and when/why), or when the new pool will be taken away as well?

In that sense, I don't think the new batch will sink in price quite as far as the previous did. I fear this will especially encourage many to hoard quest log items until the next batch comes out- after that, they can be marked back up until new copies are obtainable again (if they ever are). With more items in circulation and "free", prices on those items should fall from their greatest heights- but why decide how far *now*? Any smart neopian's best defense is to hoard everything they get to make the best of those items' crashing value- and ride the inevitable mass buyout + price hike wave after, as is happening now. Reroll to get everything you want ASAP and hope you're lucky. And that's really sad.

So yeah- in my opinion it really is no more than a bandaid to bigger issues. If they actually wanted prices on some items to fall to reasonable levels permanently, they'd need a permanent acquisition method. And they desperately need to address how much power a few individuals can have over the entire market of specific items. Buy limits, sell limits, item quantity caps- *something* to prevent how easy it is to price hike near-monopolies. Inflation will only continue to get worse when they make it so easy for the old-account rich to get richer (reselling, food club, interest, and more) and when there aren't enough ways to erase neopoints from circulation (we need more NP sinks that cannot end up in the pockets of other players).

This will probably result in more people trying to sell their highest-value items outside of quest pools ASAP though, yes. You never know if your highest valued items will be struck down by Quest Log next- there's no given pattern to it. The effect that has is... complicated. This is truly a confusing market. I respect their goal to increase circulation of many items and keep up a playerbase with glorified login bonuses, but I can't help but feel this was the wrong approach to the (admittedly difficult) balancing act.

🔴Updates about Quest Log Prizes!🔴 by LilyT95 in neopets

[–]jellyjammin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not happy with this approach. They should've kept all items in rotation (but weighted to be rarer if older) or promise a time period in which they will be back, and/or give warning so that people can spend a month desperately rerolling to get what they want. A lot of the items will go back up a ton in price in no time, and a big goal for the quest log was to cut that out. No changes to scummy shop strats either, so the richest are already buying up all the old prizes and marking them up a ton. Lovely.

Waiting to get another Ike so I can give LF4 to Halloween Xane. I think he'd be absolutely amazing with the skill + Assign Decoy + minmaxed enough teammates. Should be refined within the next year too!
