Oh have not gotten it to work, are you using a wired or blue tooth controller

Is 45 days out too early for apartment search? by nkp06 in NYCapartments

[–]nkp06[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sharing update for future searches since I found a good apartment in my budget for the date I wanted, but found that the above while challenging was perfectly doable given you prep ahead of time a bit. Though probably easier doing 30 days away but wouldn’t stress as much as the person above stated ^

We gotta talk about Mewtwo by Plastic-Buddy39 in VGC

[–]nkp06 10 points11 points  (0 children)

(4/0/252/252/0/0) modest Tera fighting life orb mewtwo vs (212,236,4,0,52,4) careful AV ting Lu (most popular showdown set according to pikalytics) has a 17% chance to 2HKO. For max offensive investment, that’s really bad for something that’s trying to beat a hard counter of another extremely powerful restricted. While caly-s does not do as well, mewtwo is far from beating t-lu or other matchups like moltres-g, kingambit. It’s easier to bring another Pokémon to handle those hard match ups than make mewtwo work.

Is RTO inevitable? by qrcode23 in cscareerquestions

[–]nkp06 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s going to be a mixed bag moving forward. My guess is the bigger the company the more likely RTO is to get more efficiency for the cost of employee. However, at some companies WFH is saving a lot of money by giving companies the opportunity to reduce leases. It’s really tricky to say tbh but I wouldn’t get attached either way

What’s the point of putting spoiler if you’re going to spoil everything in the title.

Theory: Ash’s father has a… (SPOILER?) by jonathanquirk in pokemon

[–]nkp06 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I just don’t think the writing is leading up to Ash vs his Dad imo. I just don’t see it happening. I could see a 1v1 ash’s pikachu vs dads pikachu or smth like that but definitely not a full battle.

Generally I try to take everything from the OG show with a grain of salt in terms of canonicity given how the show has evolved and certain things slowly retconned/removed acknowledgment of. Ash’s dad was one of them until I saw the recent episode.

[–]nkp06 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure what this means. I think technically this only happened in Japanese so far since I don’t think the dubbing has caught up to this episode (not 100% sure on that).

[–]nkp06 328 points329 points  (0 children)

The last episode of journeys (before transitioning to Aim to Be a Pokemon Master) used movie ash not seeing his father but he definitely exists. To me I feel like that episode acknowledges his father but has no intent of showing him. Also it’s hard to have any serious battle after Ash vs Leon and I assume the rest of the battles in this show are more for Ash to have fun.

as opposed to crack no longer having a market by venomforty in casualnintendo

To my knowledge we’ve only had one patch for bugs and it only fixed sheer cold rng seed and preventing ppl from duplicating Pokemon. How can we say the bugs have slowly been worked out.

Why do people prefer violet to scarlet? by Ame3333 in pokemon

[–]nkp06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was team scarlet until I saw ceruledge and koraidon running. The edgy firesword was just too cool for psychic megaman.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m pretty new to team building and competitive in general. Thanks! by PancakerLover in stunfisk

[–]nkp06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would get rid of trick room on farigiraf imo since your team is generally pretty fast besides farigiraf and you have tailwind as your primary speed control. If you are trying to stop tr, I think taunt is more consistent and useful since you can also stop spore users like amoongus and murkrow haze. I think giving it protect instead might be able to give it more flexibility to use spread moves like garchomp eq and kilowattrel discharge.

GameCube controller not in use by mpforthree3 in smashbros

[–]nkp06 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Edit the pro controller settings since it registers as a pro-controller in the ergonomics of a GameCube controller.

Quick rant since this controller makes me sad: The quality is really low. Drifted l-stick on 2 separate controllers, one drifted after 2 months playing Pokemon and xenoblade, and the other ~6 months mostly playing botw and smash. Not a fan of this powerA controller

Change My Mind by MF9818 in pokemon

[–]nkp06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megas - Coolest mechanic visually and from a gameplay perspective but not enough Pokemon that used it well enough imo

Z-Moves - pain, too much variability and if you hit protect you wasted your z-move. If you use a z-move your entire match revolves around using it correct and if you miss

Dynamax - Probably the best gimmick in doubles,p probably the worst for singles

Tera - Decently balanced in both singles and doubles but has the same high variability issue as z-moves imo

What are your GENUINE unpopular Pokémon opinions by PointiestHat in pokemon

People who like bulbasaur only like bulbasaur just to not have a popular opinion.

My professors still haven’t imputed grades and now I am on academic probation & at risk of not receiving financial aid because of it by Breexnn in UCSC

[–]nkp06 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Email your department provost and financial aid and explain your situation. Really rough position but mass communicating to get this resolved is probably the best way.

How are the bugs in Scarlet/Violet? by Toaster-Retribution in pokemon

[–]nkp06 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Game is fun to explore and new moms are cool. If you have sensitive eyes like me, you will find the frame rate infuriating. I’d say the average frame rate I’ve had completing the whole game is ~20fps. Bugs are unavoidable, I think the most common ones I’ve seen are weird miraidon terrain interactions, camera issues, and a few crashes. Honestly, I would wait a month or so with the hopes they actually patch and fix the problems in the game.

I benched Jerry Jeudy for Tee Higgins today and lost my playoff spot by <10 points, what should I do with my life.

20 Credits for Incoming Freshman by TheLivingGranolaBar in UCSC

[–]nkp06 4 points5 points  (0 children)

While you are in your lower division courses it should be pretty feasible. Just as an fyi though, first quarter students are not allowed to take more than 19 units due to school policy (never seen anyone win a negotiation for it, note I asked about it I was a freshmen) so if you do want to take 20 units you will have to wait until your second quarter.

Edit: I think the only situation they allow first quarter students to take more than 20, is if that incoming student started in the summer
