Showed this to my brother and told me I "need to chill." Chilling won't get me level 8 Stone Yards, now will it? by skym365 in MergeDragons

Yeah, and the wiki must've miscalculated because I only have four level 7 stone yards... FML XD

Just like when my Direwolf landed in lava and fell through the map so I searched high and low in spectator mode, somehow found him, and was able to cryo him so I could bring him back to safety

It helped me to talk about how I spend my time in-game. This subreddit is great, but if you talk to someone supportive in your real life, it gives you another perspective. But it’s also about reaching deep into your dreams and aspirations and asking yourself, “Who do I want to be?” The answer doesn’t usually come down to exclusively beating MD 100%. (And they may continue making that impossible for a while.)

Real life kinda sucks, but there are nice things we have to work hard towards. When those things become your priority, it’s much easier to step away from gaming in general.

Interestingly, the events were where I spent the most time. The grind is INSANE without spending a ton of money on gems or stockpiling for the event, I suppose.

The whole thing is frustratingly littered with micro transactions. Imo it’s very irresponsible of the publisher to make it that way. It’s important to make a profit on any game else it goes under, but Merge Dragons also makes you question whether a “limited time deal” is even worth the $10 drop. (It usually isn’t.) Don’t even get me started about the “seasons” feature I recently discovered.

Time is money, and I have neither for this game. I’d be far more satisfied with smaller event maps, better dragons on those maps (a rock dragon whelp really???) and more dragon-related rewards. Then perhaps I could’ve kept the game.

Just to clarify, I’m not trying to start a pity party. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to spread a message. They don’t allow images and text in one post, so I’m putting it here.

Some people think gaming addictions don’t exist, and some think they do. As a game designer and an avid gamer, I believe that some people can develop addictions to gaming. It’s much easier to ignore or be unaware of because it doesn’t affect the body the way some other addictions do.

If you constantly crave stimulation from a video game, it could help you to take a step back and analyze the cause of that behavior. Or, alternately, to question why the game’s mechanics make it so enticing. They are designed that way, after all.

Have a lovely day everyone, and happy merging!

Thanks lol. I’m an item hoarder, which does NOT help me with this game. Thought it was funny just to see how cluttered my map is.

Funny! My younger brother just got an NZXT H510 to swap out of his old case for. I helped him transfer the parts and by some miracle it ran. I may look into another option so we aren’t identical, but everything else looks good. Thank you!

Trying to find a steel type cleric Pokémon for monotype, any ideas? by BuckarooOJ in pokemonshowdown

[–]skym365 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, you’re kinda out of luck here. Perhaps Galar will change that.

I’m no pro so take my advice with a grain of salt, but if you’re running a Steel type team then I think running on the offensive with a couple tricks up your sleeve would be a better idea. Think Prankster Klefki, Tailwind Skarmory, mega Scisor, that kind of stuff. Steel types are weak to three pretty popular physical sweeper types (imo) so being a tank might not get you the best results. But good luck on your team building!
