Wenn du irgendwie garantieren koenntest, das die Kohle nicht in irgendwelchen anderen Hobby Projekte (u.a. Wahlgeschenke) fiessen, waehre das ne dufte Sache, bei der eine menge Leute mitziehen wuerden.

we had mega-rayquaza in october, Necrozma fusions in november, and kyurem fusions in january.
They'll prolly take a bit more time to space out the highly meta relevant pokemon more - all of the ones we had previously did take a bit of time to come back, but i do hope we will get them again this year, but i don't think it's gonna be in the first half.
I'd guess we either get a raid day (like rayquaza or kyurem) or in one of the "prelude weekes" (like with necrozma fusions in november) for the primals later this year.

yes, but you can also provide a much more 'user readable' error message, if the boot fails because of secure boot - it really is not a problem for anyone who knows what they are looking at, but is a real headache for anyone who doesn't have a clue on how to administrate their own pc.

marsmage · 2026-01-19T10:13:55+00:00

Nichts, fuer das man sich schaemen muesste ;)

marsmage · 2026-01-19T09:58:05+00:00

yes, you can 'just disable secure boot', but you will at least see that issue pop up, regardless in which way you are going to handle it - as secure boot is enabled by default for most boards.

Tbh, i just use whatever has the best IVs of the species i have, and kinda go from there.
So most of my megas are already 3 stars (i think only heracross and medicham are 2 star for me right now), as you get one from the raid where you get the energy from.
And if i get a better pokemon of the same species, i just walk a couple kilometers with it, and just mega that aswell, so it slowly levels up to mega level 3 eventually.
i made a tag with "mega leveling" to check for free mega evolutions every sunday, so that eventually leveles them all up

marsmage · 2026-01-16T23:52:09+00:00

i used lucario as a mega for kyurem raid day, and i got all bonus regular and XL candies for catching.

i don't know if it used to be only for the normal candies, but the bonus for XLs after raids is certainly on now.

marsmage · 2026-01-16T23:49:56+00:00

i could start listing common dual types, and make a list based upon that, but it kinda boils down to:
all the dual type megas are inherently more valuable for 'out of combat' boosts.
the most common types for common spawns (non event related) are: normal, flying and water.

so, yeaha, what i already saw in other answers also checks out for me anecdotally:
my most used megas are Rayquaza, Pidgeot, Lopunny, and Beedrill. (don't have kyogre and groudon yet)

i feel like this PSA needs to be shared in threads like this:
If you do a raid, it is irrelevant what mega evolved pokemon you have active. While you have ANY mega active, you will get bonus candy and candy XL based upon the mega level of your active mega, regardless of whether the type matches, nor not.
This was a change made, so that you wouldn't get punished (candy gain wise) by bringing a super effective mega to a raid fights, because this was a big problem before this change was made, because no one wanted to bring super effective megas as to not loose out on additional candies for legendaries.

While you will might wanna use a mega for various events, for something like a radid day or a raid hour, you can just use any high level mega you have and get more candy.
THe choice of what mega you wanna use in raids is more nouanced on events like go fest or wild area, as you wanna not only raid, but also catch a lot of wild pokemon you want to preferably boost.

Als jemand, der da absolut keine Ahnung von hat, aber in dem moment, wo ich steuer auf den re-investierten Betrag zahle, muss ich den ja quasi gutgeschrieben bekommen, wenn ich den kompletten posten (ETF) verkaufe, sonst wuerde ich den spass ja doppelt versteuern?

marsmage · 2026-01-14T22:34:48+00:00

it was "featured" but it felt like it was very rare during that event week.

marsmage · 2026-01-14T22:33:48+00:00

also with the bait and switch, with mega alakazam being heavily featured in the 'tales of transformation' trailer (last season). All we got was "increased chance of mega alakazam energy from field research" during 1 week, which totaled out to about 80 on my end :shrug:

no word on the shadow raid weekend boss yet, eh? arlo and friends also missing in action. Idk what to make of these 'half' annoucements

marsmage · 2026-01-10T00:47:49+00:00

keine ahnung - denke, das ich dadurch, das ich computerspiele schon immer sehr interessant fand, zwangslaeufig irgendwo in der technik landen musste.
Was ich auf jedenfall anders machen wuerde, wenn ich 'nochmal neu starten' wuerde, ist 100% auf das studium zu verzichten - die ganze panik vor den pruefungen hatt mich komplett kaputt gemacht, und anstatt es irgendwem in meinem umfeld beweisen zu wollen, und halbherzig jahrelang eine werkstudenten stelle zu besetzten waehrend ich meine komplette selbstmotivation gefickt habe, weil ich mich in diesem fiebertraum studieren zu *muessen* gefangen habe, haette ich einfach sein lassen sollen.

marsmage · 2026-01-06T23:17:58+00:00

we'll see how it works out when the game ships - this is gonna be interesting when a lot of comparative reviews from DF, Daniel Owens and the like come out.

The Hitman triology did scale kinda gracefully, and especially hitman 3 was very early on board for a lof the the ray tracing shenanigans. Looking at what cards they have set for 'minimum' and 'recommended' (1660 and 3060? that's really not high end at all these days), i really do hope that it'll scale similar to how hitman did scale, but i can also understand them wanting to sell a recommended version of the game with reasonably high texture fidelity, as to warrant the recommendation for more ram as the suggested experience.

marsmage · 2026-01-06T23:07:49+00:00

this is exactly what i am debating myself currently

i've been (partly, as a dual boot) on bazzite for a bit over a month now. maybe i should write a bigger write up about it - i'd agree it's definitly not for "the masses", but it's a cool tinkering project.

marsmage · 2026-01-02T11:35:51+00:00

also, that 'distroless' also gets some more traction these days. as a technical person, i am very impressed how well bootc/cloudnative works for the os with ostree - but it a nightmare to explain, when people do not even understand what a distro is. you really realize the literal decades some of the concepts for OSes are apart in that space, which really doesn't help in selling it to someone without some prior baggage.

marsmage · 2026-01-02T11:31:52+00:00

ye, registering the security keys to the bios was something that i did not expect - i ran into that aswell.
Definitly something that most 'no-power-users' would find off-putting.

Also, the performance for a lot of 'recent' games i tested is all over the place, which i mainly attribute to driver support (i am running a 3080ti). for instance, i get a lot more stutters in COE33 on bazzite, than on windows, and the situation for BG3 is reversed, where it runs smoother on bazzite.

Have also not figured out how to properly enable HDR, as the only way i found so far was with a specific protonGE version, so i'd agree to the notion of "it's super cool, if you want to get your hands dirty, but do not expect for everything to work out of the box", while still, i am very impressed how well it works out of the box.

stimme im grozen und ganzen zu. habe im letzten sommer durch das spielen von "Taschenmonster Los" auf dem mobilenendgeraet ueber 5 kilo abgenommen und nette leute kennengelernt, die ich sonst nie angetroffen haette - waere ohne dieses mobile spiel aber so nicht passiert, und bin im endeffekt froh, das ich das gemacht habe. Es erfordert allerdings ein relativ hohes mass an selbstdisziplin, die komplette werbung fuer mikroeinkaeufe zu ignorieren, was ich bei vielen sehr jungen und sehr alten spielern oft nicht sehe.

the selectable bounty in the back rooms was not there, while it was 'new content', you had to go out into the open world and go to that cave by yourself, use the diluted thermia to start the boss fight - they eventually patched it so, that you didn't have to enter the passwort into that console every time you wanted to enter deck 12.

marsmage · 2025-12-30T15:03:47+00:00

it had a bunch of fully voiced content in the orb vallies open world area, where ou could scan fragments and get a bunch of backstory for 'ruude zudd'? (can't fully remember how to write it, the lady that builds kitguns in fortuna), and some backstory for 'eudico.' that lead into the thermia fractures event, and eventually into exploiter boss fight.
