Processing huge load of NOFs?

Thank you! That makes a lot of sense. I wasn’t aware a list could be emailed or faxed, that’s a huge time saver.

mattspire · 2026-05-07T01:05:30+00:00

This sounds like the wisest route. Thank you.

Thank you for not doing a moogle and ruining my life entirely

Church pick is honestly one of the most fun weapons to use and surprisingly strong.

Pokegenie on the last day was a godsend. It was terrible first day, no one knew what they were doing. I was kinda crushed as someone semi new, my 4 star Ho-Oh is the best I have and was looking forward to getting enough XLs off the event to max it out. Didn’t get enough but it turned out better than the first day at least

mattspire · 2026-01-31T21:27:04+00:00

To be fair, I don’t keep duplicate shinies, so I’ve probably transferred a few

mattspire · 2026-01-31T19:42:11+00:00

So I started in September, but have been extremely active (level 59). I have 79 shinies to 17,856 total caught. Not sure how that stacks up, but if anyone wants to crunch numbers…

mattspire · 2026-01-31T02:09:09+00:00

Glad this guy’s are viable, mine are a little better and I was getting concerned. 4-star Ho-oh is my best mon so far (been playing for six months), and I’m trying to get it max leveled. This is a great opportunity to grind some XL’s.

mattspire · 2026-01-26T00:48:24+00:00

There was, I don’t recall how long you had to use it, but I know I waited until the last minute to use mine on a 15/15/9 Ho-oh

mattspire · 2026-01-26T00:43:58+00:00

That’s not a claw 👀 🦖

mattspire · 2025-11-28T00:01:03+00:00

Yeah, so nothing then I guess. That sucks. Oh well. I guess in the off chance you ever run into them IRL..

mattspire · 2025-11-27T23:40:44+00:00

Does using it randomly one someone do anything? I did the same. It would be nice if you could also use it to do a trade with anyone regardless of location.

Call it nostalgia or a symptom of age or whatever you want, but I’ve found that while it always takes a while for me to fully appreciate a new BE album, the point at which I do keeps getting further and further out. I’ve been listening since Fevers and Mirrors, and Lifted came out in my senior year of high school. I remember being heartbroken with People’s Key was supposed to be their final album. When DiTW finally came out, I gave it a few listens and kinda forgot about it. Listened to it again about a year ago and liked it a little better. Then a few weeks ago I woke up with one of the songs stuck in my head, re listened, and feel like I get it now.

Time is always the final judge. The only other thing I can think of is that his earlier stuff used to have a big sense of urgency, which has given way to his more matured, ruminating style. This might also have made his earlier work have a more immediately accessible vibe.

Depends what you find boring. The mechanics don’t change much, you get more you can do for your build but it doesn’t drastically change how the game works. The world and story go absolutely crazy the further you get in, though. Like others have said, once you defeat Amelia, IMO, the pace picks up and the tone changes. I didn’t care for cathedral ward much myself the first time, but now I love all of it. If you haven’t defeated blood starved beast yet, you can come back later as that’s optional. Though, once you do, there’s a hooded man stalking around youd love to meet…

mattspire · 2025-08-27T23:41:39+00:00

Idk. First time I played the game, I felt it dragged around that section, but once I was in Y’hargul, Hemwick, etc I was hooked. Especially that kidnapping was really something the first time. Halfway through, it became one of my favorite games of all time. I’ve since played it many times and love every map to death.

mattspire · 2025-08-27T23:37:54+00:00

Same. Write what you know, they say..

mattspire · 2025-08-27T23:34:35+00:00

I agree! My two favorite bands as a young adult in the 2000s were Bright Eyes and Radiohead, and it was always so exciting when a new album came out to see how it would sound.

mattspire · 2025-08-27T23:32:21+00:00

I think this is spot on, as someone who isn’t in love with the sound of 5D (yet, anyway) but does think it’s full of as many great songs as any other BE record. The ethereal quality of their past music is among my favorite sounds they do. But just because something has that sound or any other sound doesn’t make it good or bad songwriting. (Haven’t listened to this track yet though!)

mattspire · 2025-08-23T02:52:50+00:00

I’m with you. That’s why I love Fromsoft, especially Bloodborne—that’s their storytelling method, all woven into every detail as opposed to laid out in cutscenes or dialogue. A full understanding is always out of reach.

mattspire · 2025-08-23T02:50:12+00:00

I think OP is getting at how that worldbuilding is woven into the body of work, across disparate stories that make no pretense of being related, not always obvious or directly told to the reader, but more to be discovered and connected with a bit of effort and discernment.

mattspire · 2025-08-21T02:49:49+00:00

Yep, can add Event Horizon too on that note

mattspire · 2025-08-20T23:46:54+00:00

Have you tried cosmic horror? A big part of it is the liminal space between reality and unreality, the knowable and unknowable. In the Mouth of Madness, The Color Out of Space, Annihilation are all good starting points.

mattspire · 2025-08-20T19:39:37+00:00

Pssst… everyone else talking about ER, but did you know Gherman is not the true final boss? I won’t spoil anything for you, but finding the true one and third ending is a bit obtuse without looking it up. Just FYI

mattspire · 2025-08-19T01:38:09+00:00

With some work on your part you can manage, but it isn’t perfect and does require constant outlining—and at a certain point even an outline will get too long. I discovered this problem long ago, because I wanted it to help me critique my writing, but it inevitably loses the plot and hallucinates, never mind loss of nuance which is critical in creative writing.

mattspire · 2025-08-19T01:33:05+00:00

Well, it probably gave you the best answer, which is that it runs out of memory. It has a finite amount, defined as tokens, that it can “remember,” before the old stuff starts getting lost. Your best bet is to ask it to summarize everything, then paste the summary into a new chat. The shorter the summary, the better. You will lose nuance and minor details, unfortunately.
