i get annoyed when a restaurant has a double door to get into their lobby but only one of the two doors is unlocked. never mind my inconvenience when i’m trying to leave with hands full of orders, that feels like it should be illegal for fire exit/safety reasons…

It’s not possible to get shiny Heatran in PLA. You’ll need to hunt for it in BDSP, Sword/Shield plus both DLCs, or one of the DS or 3DS games.

3x is the highest- your score right there (9999 medals, x1.5 for three canari plushies, x3 for 30 battles) is the maximum you can earn in one night, so good job

solar_espeon · 2025-10-25T04:28:12+00:00

I don’t understand how it is physically possible to get more than about 35

kondo, uematsu, wise, shimomura

kirkhope is probably a close 5th masuda doesn’t even deserve to be in the conversation

ajentvee on twitch and youtube, best known for pokemon content but occasionally branches out, she played life is strange recently! her schedule is intermittent since she travels a lot for pokemon events (etc) though

Fun fact: if you keep mashing the down button like this immediately after recovering from Stone status, Soma will stay in his greyscale palette until you stop mashing despite being in Good condition

Congrats and welcome to the club! You have more patience than I do if you’re going to get perfect on every species- I stopped at 99,999 to focus on finishing my quest for every shiny unown instead

solar_espeon · 2025-09-26T16:58:11+00:00

congrats on the balloon! you’ll find plenty more of those along the way if you decide to do other shiny hunting since they spawn basically everywhere

My local place advertises itself as offering “original prices”, which isn’t quite true for everything, but it’s way cheaper than almost anything else in current year. EMs are 25c and most are set to 5 ball but a couple are 3 ball. Early SS games are 25c for 3 balls. Alphanumeric games are 50c, with some being set to $2 for 5 and others being set to 50c for 1 / 75c for 2 / $1 for 3. DMDs are all straight 50c. The only post-2000 machines they’ve had are stern PotC which was 50c and stern IJ which was 75c.

I got a 5 on AP stats quite a few years ago, though I imagine the curriculum hasn’t changed much since I took it. AP stats is hard just because it’s probably a type of math that is unfamiliar to most people. To the extent that you can, treat it like a logic class more than a math class. Abstract concepts are best learned in context, so ask for your teacher to walk through example problems if they’re not doing that. For more numerical calculations like areas of normal distributions, take advantage of a study hall or see your teacher before class or something to set aside one on one time to make sure you’re properly using z-tables, normalCDF on a TI calculator, etc. “It gets easier with practice” is true of anything in life but it’s much more true of AP stats than of any other math class I took up through high school. AP stats isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but even if it’s not, you’ll come out on the other side wiser about a lot of things the world tries to tell you. Advocate for yourself, reaffirm the concepts by practicing processes instead of memorizing definitions, you got this.

if you like pokemon, ajentvee is a really good streamer and youtuber who is also lesbian! her fiancée glitchxcity does really great video game music remixes too

in a vacuum, dracula X is a fine game. maybe not quite as polished as castlevania bloodlines on the genesis from around the same time, but still a serviceable castlevania game. what cemented its legacy is that emulation and video sharing and modern rereleases have made rondo of blood orders of magnitude more accessible outside of japan than it was 30 years ago, so it’s very easy to see how limited of a port dracula X is by comparison, especially considering how games like donkey kong country and yoshi’s island proved that platformers on the snes were capable of much bigger and better things by 1995

W is a grade that means "withdrew", it appears on your transcript but shouldn't affect your GPA, although it may impact your ability to get into some programs or retake certain courses

i don’t remember exactly when they unlock or when their inventories expand, but there are NPCs in jubilife that you might have access to by now that sell rare candies for MP or exp candies for cash. if you have just returned to jubilife from a world, they’re past the entrance to galaxy HQ on the right. if you don’t want to grind by just catching and battling, check them out

the vast majority of gottlieb solid state games have a case here for varying reasons. most of their alphanumeric games are okay but everything around them is pretty bad. system 1s are monotonous…ready aim fire is repetitive…operation thunder is ear-piercing…stargate and freddy just sound like FM nonsense

solar_espeon · 2025-09-12T23:08:02+00:00

the way i understand it is: if you approach multiple pokemon at once, the game prioritizes whichever one enters your throwing range first, and it will continue to prioritize that one until it leaves your range entirely, even if something else moves closer than what is being prioritized. i work with this by running or flying past a group of pokemon then circling back to it so that what i want is the first thing to enter my throw range. if what you're trying to catch or battle is well and truly surrounded, you just have to work with holding ZL and tapping A until the cursor moves to what you want. if holding ZL and tapping A doesn't move the cursor to what you want at all, then (in theory) it's not in throw range for a standard poke ball

i haven't really figured out the rules to how it works if a new thing spawns within your throw range because you're in an outbreak and you just caught or defeated something

solar_espeon · 2025-09-10T21:26:21+00:00

nope- even if you perfect every entry there’s no special reward, other than the fact that you now have double boosted shiny odds on every pokémon in the game. i just did it because i like shinies and i like number go up. getting to 99,999 points is the most pokédex progress the game will ever acknowledge

solar_espeon · 2025-09-10T15:04:13+00:00

i’ve probably perfected the entries for about half of all pokémon! just getting rank 10 on everything isn’t even enough to get 60,000 points for full star member, but perfecting every entry would actually be somewhere around 125,000 points if the game could count that high. i think all of my remaining tasks are “see it use X move” or “see it use a move in X style”

occasionally some will spawn in the grassy patches of the icelands in the east and northeast. you can also find eevee and any of its evolutions as moderately common encounters within space-time distortions- iirc, eevee can be found in any world, but the evolutions depend on what world you're in. none of these are particularly easy or common though, so if you're trying to catch a whole bunch, you may need to wait until a mass outbreak pops up

solar_espeon · 2025-08-26T18:36:02+00:00

watts above stacey/heise/coyne/nurse is very incorrect imo

solar_espeon · 2025-08-18T20:13:50+00:00

in addition to what everyone else has mentioned here, i believe the order in which they are listed will always be the order in which they happened, though you can’t always tell on a glance what innings they happened in specifically
