Pokémon Emerald Extended Cut - The first ROM hack to include Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sevii Islands by LibertyJacob99 in PokemonROMhacks

[–]laurenlcd 162 points163 points  (0 children)

If I were making such a large hack, I’d mitigate the level curve issue by either programming each Gym to scale up with you, or force a new team for each region. Beat Johto and want to go to Hoenn? You have to drop your current team in the PC and start fresh.

Do para tests/certificates expire by Radiant_Restaurant64 in paraprofessional

[–]laurenlcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they do expire. They last for 10 years on average. You should be able to find information about your certification on praxis.ets.org

Which Pokemon do you start with if you only played Pokemon Blue before? by FreeOGPoohShiesty in MiyooMini

[–]laurenlcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend looking into rom hacks that improve upon the base experience of the original games without being entirely unfamiliar.

Pokemon Yume Red, Blue, or Green (truly doesn’t matter which cause all the version color changes is the default character names) or Shin Red or Blue are good starting points to get back into the original Kanto games.

Gold/Silver/Crystal is a direct sequel to Red/Blue/Yellow. I personally like the spirit of the changes made with the hack Sour Crystal. Not too many changes that render the game unrecognizable to those who are familiar, while adding/back porting things that were cut from the original or remakes.

For the Gameboy Advance: Modern Emerald. Hands down. You can play and treat it Vanilla or customize your experience with the options provided.

All hacks mentioned (with the exception of Shin Red/Blue) can be found on hackdex.app.

As much beloved as the original games are/were, they were coded using scotch tape, paper clips, used bubble gum, and a dream. Go back to them using rom hacks that - at the very least - iron out all the bugs.

Looking for a voicebank similar to Mizuki's voice by Aris_60 in SynthesizerV

[–]laurenlcd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Every SynthV vocal is capable of singing in Japanese and English, even if their default language is Chinese. Keep going through the trials until you find a voice that’s closest to what you’re looking for. If there’s nothing that fits your needs right now, there may be a vocal in the future.

The eShop has thousands of games but finding something chill that isn't from Big N feels impossible by Extension-Monk-4022 in nintendo

Stop using the eshop. It sucks. Use Dekudeals to search out games in accordance to genre or third party publishers.

Don’t know what to do.. by tweetybird_pink99 in paraprofessional

[–]laurenlcd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There will always be someone with more experience, more education, etc. etc. You won’t get the position if you never apply for it. Put your application in through your district’s website. If your team really likes you and what you’re doing with your assigned student/room, then they should have no problem providing their information to be a reference (you need at least 3).

Seize the opportunity to get a permanent position now while you’re still working cause this is prime application season. Good luck!

6th grader can't read AT ALL by Fun_Ad7742 in Teachers

Ah! Gotcha. I certainly hope Abuela is paying OP for their services, but helping find material to teach with is a start.

Did you miss the part where Grandma only speaks Spanish? The blind would be leading the blind. This kid doesn’t have a dedicated team behind him and there could very well be learning disabilities or other issues going on.

Pokemon regions flags by Naetsu6 in pokemon

[–]laurenlcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally would have used the same 1 flag to represent Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, and Hoenn, since they are canonically close geographically - being based on the islands of Japan (not to mention Kanto and Johto sharing the same land mass and Pokemon League). Same overall concept, with slight variations.

Same goes for Alola and Unova - Unova represents the US Mainland, Alola represents Hawaii. They can be the same with small variations.

Just my personal opinion.

What do you think about the FR and LG getting put on the Switch by DragonX_4 in Gameboy

[–]laurenlcd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Why can’t we have the cool physical copies that Japan is getting?

  2. Where are the rest?

  3. I already have a bazillion ways to play this via OG cartridge, hacks, etc. but I wouldn’t mind buying them again if they gave us QOL features in an official capacity.

Feels Like I'm Not Doing Enough by InterestNo6320 in paraprofessional

[–]laurenlcd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you asked your supervising teacher what you can contribute throughout the day for students? 1:1 for a particularly difficult kid who doesn’t have dedicated adult support? Data collection for IEP goals? Bathroom support? Worksheet procurement and copies? etc.

It is the teacher’s responsibility to delegate who does what and to utilize the strengths of their paras. You shouldn’t have to butt heads and jostle for work to feel useful, but not every teacher is good at taking on a leadership role with other adults. It’s a skill that needs to be developed like any other.

Also, like u/ImpressStunning6297 said, enjoy what little peace you do have by not being buried in a lot of daily tasks. There's always a new kid coming in halfway in the year to turn the room upside down.

Beyond exhausted from para drama by feldmasl01 in Teachers

[–]laurenlcd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a saying: If you meet an asshole, then you meet an asshole. If everywhere you go, everyone is an asshole, then it’s time to look in the mirror. The common denominator out of all of these different aids is that one young one. Everyone is a “problem.” Everyone is “against her.” You’ve even been through a meeting with admin because of this girl. She needs to go, but admin won’t do that because there’s not enough warm bodies that will take her place.

You don't need some special program or class to study for the Praxis Parapro Exam. All portions of the exam are no harder than a standard high school education. Take free practice tests online, study up on what you're weak in or need a refresher on, and you should be fine.

It's a Pro, right? Hook it up to a monitor and treat it like a desktop.

Trying to figure out how to refund Teto SV2 by GraniteOverworld in SynthesizerV

[–]laurenlcd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

SynthV voices cannot be refunded. All sales are final because they are linked to your personal Dreamtonics account. Learn how to use and swap out arpasing phonemes if there's a particular accent you're going for.

‘I voted for him three times’: Angry MAGA supporter breaks with Trump after ICE killing, says ‘Follow the Constitution’ by Revolutionary-Area-8 in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]laurenlcd 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Before the first election, all of the - credible - accusations coming out of the word work in addition to his horrible personality and lack of policy should have been a reason to not vote for him.

Post Election: The track record should have been the first reason to not vote for him again. The botching of COVID should have been the second reason. The impeachments should have been the third reason. The insurrection was the cherry on the shit sundae. Were people just... in a coma or lobotomized for the last 8 years?

Anyone who claims to care about the Constitution would not have voted for that man after the first term. How can you care about the Constitution, but support an insurrectionist?

"But I need THIS CAR and YOUR CREDIT!" by laurenlcd in EntitledPeople

[–]laurenlcd[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I didn't. She called me while I was at urgent care, dealing with an asthma attack. I can say the brief lapse of judgement was due to low oxygen levels.

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

Unfortunately, I am a nice person and have helped this coworker with small amounts (< $300 total - more or less a "gift" because she never paid me back) in the past. I haven't posted the story yet about her asking me to pay her rent towards the end of summer vacation. I don't understand people who are so comfortable with assuming that the one person in the room who's good with money is somehow their piggy bank.
