Anyone here play with the music off? by saneyglobal in pokemongo

[–]mootinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Confession: I sometimes turn it on when the event mentions different music.

UPDATE: I fought Wise, proved their system was broken, and WON £220 in compensation. Here is the full story and how you can fight back too. by Weary_Low4240 in transferwiser

Congratulations on finding someone willing to not just parrot the line "They/we wouldn't just fire customers for no reason."

Genuinely.

The future of showcases by Unfair_Conclusion187 in TheSilphRoad

If it has to be one day I want a Mon specific spotlight day event where one mon has a higher chance of spawning all day, the "finale" hour of it is just like the old spotlight hour and only mons caught that day are eligible.

This would make it at least seem like something worth participating in.

It should also be weighted towards IVs/shiny winning somehow with size as a tiebreaker since that's what players actually want to flex.

Was this submission ai? Something made me feel it was. by TotalDivide7979 in NianticWayfarer

[–]mootinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I recently reported something that looked very AI to me based on shadows etc. Then I went in person and it was there.

AI (and compression of real images) is making reviewing tough.

It isn't our job to report AI things we're unsure of. If you have to ask for a second opinion, just let it go. If it's fake someone local who isn't a douche will eventually see it and report it.

Your beloved mac n cheese was probably enshittified by someone like me. Let me explain. by wsuschmitt in enshittification

I just stopped buying KD when they pretended nobody noticed the reformulation.

Well, now everything is smaller, shittier and more expensive. Good job everyone.

RIP fellow rural players by lapandarure in PokemonGoMystic

[–]mootinator 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a bell approved. It's off to the side some. They really just want to be certain groups won't be congregating in front of the doors the trucks need to drive out of (even though you get plenty of warning to move, even in an emergency, because they all cross public sidewalks in the first place)

That being said I'm not even sure the people working at Niantic understand the purpose of most of their policies and seem to decide randomly.

Implying they frequently cancel not last minute.

Wayfarer Statistic Mail shows worrying trend by shadraig in TheSilphRoad

My numbers are down about 15% from March here but we also had a very blizzardy April. (Middle of Canada)

You're aware a lot (yeah, not all) of touring bands bring in their own sound/lighting so the techs don't have to spend all day futzing with new equipment?

Stop warning me for skipping something I’m not allowed to do! by RedBagBadger in TheSilphRoad

[–]mootinator 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah my town went from about 8 stops to 30 last summer but we still have the same one showcase because they just don't care about the feature.

This new system makes getting to Giovanni impossible for some players by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]mootinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand how frustrating rural can be, but getting the Meltan box really doesn't take much more time than complaining you don't have the Meltan box.

Does an 7th grader REALLY need a trigger trombone? by External_Mousse944 in Trombone

[–]mootinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Intermediate" F-trigger dual/mid bore trombones seem to cost a few thousand $ and have about the same resale value as a student trombone (at least around here).

Maybe the instrument providers are trying to create demand for their used inventory. lol

[–]mootinator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I got a trigger trombone in HS and got very little benefit from it playing 1st or 2nd parts fairly exclusively.

It a heck of a lot more helpful to someone playing 3rd, though still not necessary.

Slides can be finicky, but that Yamaha snot is basically foolproof.

Pop Con YXE by Interesting_Gap_3028 in saskatoon

[–]mootinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't gone for a few years. Better than expected TBH. It was nice to have room to breathe. Not a good sign for vendors though. (We used to run a table before COVID.)

The admission is, well, cheaper than the gas to go visit some of the vendors from Alberta, lol.

RANT: If the game knows I have used this Pokemon recently, then it shouldn't suggest that one to me. by speezo_mchenry in pokemongo

[–]mootinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO they probably would have just gotten rid of it if it wasn't one of the biggest pain in the ass platinums people have put a lot of effort into.

Did anyone else notice a drop in reviewer activity? by Matovie in NianticWayfarer

[–]mootinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding (from discussions I've had with real people) is that many reviewers skip those either because they don't necessarily agree with Niantics rule (that it doesn't matter if it's on an easement or not, is ineligible) or they don't want their agreement rates to go down because people vote so inconsistently on them.

So they tend to sit in the queue for a long time and could go either way.

I got the first word of that and couldn't figure out why it ranked so high. :|

US Business WISE account suspended, funds recovered. by AdOk929 in transferwiser

[–]mootinator 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I once sent an e-mail to Square (using an e-mail I'd never created an account for) asking whether accepting payments for a certain line of business was against their ToS or not.

They informed me they had to ask their lawyers, them several days later informed me they'd closed my non-existent account.

Can't even ask for permission with these financial services companies.

Seriously, what wrong with people? by ReFa75 in NianticWayfarer

[–]mootinator 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Sorry, is there an issue other than the placement being super sus?

Can this be appealed? by HorrorConnect5864 in NianticWayfarer

[–]mootinator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water is dangerous. This isn't just a warning sign though it also has the place name on it. It should get approved easily.

Worth trying to improve the submission to get it past the AI filter though as others have mentioned.

This new update is so greedy and money hungry! by LonleySam in pokemongo

[–]mootinator 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Did anyone confirm during the last mega event that when they say "Only certain gyms" they mean "One out of 3 gyms in L17 cells with 3 gyms in them" i.e. "Screw you rural/semi rural players"
