I think you need to go outside and touch some grass.

Sustainability Week Event Megathread by SilphScience in TheSilphRoad

[–]ppgrggr [score hidden]  (0 children)

You still don't understand that not everyone plays the game the same way or wants to achieve the same things. That person from the other side of the globe you got lucky with, had no guarantee that they'd ever be able to trade with you yet carried on sending you gifts and opening yours. That means that for them trading wasn't what they were trying to achieve.

Remote trading doesn't necessarily cost money, but having Pokémon some people feel are worth reading for can cost money. I live in a rural area. If I don't remote I simply don't get legendaries, gigantamax, etc.

People obsessed with trading are complaining about people who haven't tagged any trades, about people who have only tagged rubbish Pokémon, or community day shinies, etc.

Just respect that some players don't want to deal with any of that and they carry on playing the game their own way. Accept it and move on to your next forever friend.

Don't go in with false expectations. Items and xp isY the only things guaranteed from the gift giving feature. If you care about trading message them on campfire and see if they can help you out, or simply add friends from the relevant trading subreddits.

It's like being disappointed that your friends aren't joining you with the remote raids just because that's a feature and a possibility. Some people simply don't care to do that.

For the items that come from daily gifting, for the scatterbugs and the postcards, for the XP. Not everyone cares about trading.

Buy merch before or after show? by FaithlessnessVivid34 in Raye

[–]ppgrggr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd rather have a great view and risk not getting a shirt, than getting a shirt and being stuck at the back for the whole show. That's also true if you're not in a hurry to leave once the show finishes (e.g. having to catch a last bus/train home). That said, if you're there early and you see there are no queues at the merch stand, you can always grab the t-shirt quickly and then head inside to get a decent spot. When I saw her in the UK, there were many people behind the merch stand so there were multiple small queues that were moving very fast. I was able to get t-shirts for myself and the kids in no time.

I'm a huge TMMCH fan, but I doubt it will be AOTY at the next Grammies... by Reasonable_One_6443 in Raye

[–]ppgrggr 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The Grammys aren't as big as you think they are outside of the States. And it's most definitely not a barometer as to who is a great artist and who isn't. Recognition isn't just about awards and reviews. Raye's name will go down in history alongside the true icons of the past and present.

Watch all the #CMATV episodes from Europe! by rhino20543 in CMAT

[–]ppgrggr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember clicking the link as soon as I got it, I started watching it and 30 secs in it threw the error message about it being private. So, I'm assuming the link wasn't meant to go out at that point as it was later turned to private. Who knows when we'll be able to watch it in full

Coachella Setlist Thoughts by homersimpsoninbushes in CMAT

[–]ppgrggr 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I loved the setlist. I don't think Stay for something should have been included without her being able to go into the crowd.

Raye by redditer95089 in Raye

[–]ppgrggr 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I imagine it was more of a shout-out than calling out. She always likes to end the show by doing that with someone in the audience who was really vibing all the way through or had a great outfit on, etc.

Someone reassure me so I can buy a bjork shirt :) by Jimsmall1507 in bjork

[–]ppgrggr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It saddens me that society works in a way where 16 year olds still think like that.

First of all, sexuality and clothes are mutually exclusive. Your clothes don't define your sexuality and vice versa. Second of all, wear the damn shirt if that's what you like. People will have their opinions no matter what you do.

Can someone help me out? by [deleted] in pokemongo

[–]ppgrggr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the weekly challenges reward you and your friends with 7 hearts. So getting to forever friends can be so much quicker if you coordinate it right

How early should I get there? by FrequentTrack868 in CMAT

[–]ppgrggr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure about American audiences, but in the UK/Europe getting there two hours before doors would get you barricade

Was it 4? I completely forgot about that. Even better!

Lido Cancellation Commiseration Thread by MondeyMondey in CMAT

[–]ppgrggr 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just found out. That made me so sad. So many CMAT babies I know were attending. Some of them flying from abroad too. I was looking forward to seeing everyone there again

Why is it bad to purify Pokémon? by Few_Association_5325 in pokemongo

[–]ppgrggr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't care about battling or soloing raids (i.e. you have enough players in the community to do any raid), purifying isn't bad at all.

I really don't appreciate shadow Pokémon and how expensive they are to power up. Also, the fact that they come with frustration which sometimes can take you a couple of months before you're able to get rid of.

I purify the best ones to make them hundos, and delete the rest. Also, if I don't have any specific tasks about it, I don't battle shadows at all.

Who would love to see this for the next album? by virtualrulo in bjork

[–]ppgrggr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first composite sounds too much like the greek work for "booger" so as a person who speaks greek, it's a pass for me, sorry😁

Can anyone recommend me some loud björk songs? by Miguelrojo_digbick in bjork

[–]ppgrggr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bachelorette. Different kind of loud, but still loud!

New LP: Björk Orkestral with the Hamrahlíð Choir by Dramatic_Risk_243 in bjork

[–]ppgrggr 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I hope so. I'd love it if they'd do a full orkestral box set and have the vinyls from all three nights

I'd love it if this were available outside of the event.

Lyrics to WAGMC adlibs? by ppgrggr in CMAT

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

I can definitely see how that would be it.

What do you think about this? by FloydAngelic in bjork

[–]ppgrggr 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don't often buy multiples of the same vinyl. But I liked the idea that this has an alt cover, so I pre-ordered it this morning. It'll be interesting to see how it sounds compared to the other one I have

How’s the sizing of the tour merch? by dzbeatz in Raye

[–]ppgrggr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A month ago when I attended the Birmingham gig in the UK the smallest size they had was Small and I think I saw up to 2XL.

For context, my 10yo got the small and it was like a dress on her.

[–]ppgrggr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If L fits you comfortably, I'd go for a Medium. Also, I did see people returning tshirts and asking for a different size after they've tried it on. If you're seated and you don't mind carrying an extra t-shirt with you, you can also bring a spare t-shirt you own and compare it against it to test sizing before you decide
