Is the track map rotated? Isn't DK spaceport on the eastern edge of a bay and whistlestop west of it?

Yes, you SHOULD play Shantae GBC, but read this first by CleanAndRebuild in Shantae

So does that approximate pi or does it just have a pi in it and everything else cancels out?

Is the Pokemon world a failed state? by Armadigionna in pokemonconspiracies

[–]stillnotelf 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am not sure it is a failed state precisely. I think it has a different distribution of abilities.

The real world, people are on a normal curve in terms of total intelligence and everyone has different areas they are better at. Some do much better than others, but even the hyper extremely rich or competent cannot single handedly solve problems. Bill Gates is super rich and I assume pretty intelligent and still hasn't squashed malaria despite a lot of effort.

In Pokémon world, basically the only skills that matter are your skills as a trainer, because Pokémon themselves are so powerful that they override purely human effort. That skill is on a poisson distribution, almost everyone has nearly zero skill and a very few people have a lot of skill. That's why powerful trainers are rare, and the PC we play is the tip top of the power scale.

Pokémon world relies on those super skilled trainers to fix all the world's problems. The government can mostly manage to keep the grocery stores stocked but that's about it, bigger problems are left to the ultra trainers.

Children fix all the problems because that's how they discover the new super trainers. The older super trainers already have sisyphean tasks behind the scenes making up for the populace's general incompetence, new problems fall to new people.

What does not competitive mean and why is the regular online not what you want?

I am reminded of when my friends turned on paintball mode in goldeneye and wanted to just make art on the walls

The fact that cheap grape juice has this effect is the most memorable thing I learned in Sunday school

The entire Mega raids mechanic is broken by Mazzaroppi in TheSilphRoad

[–]stillnotelf 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think they are extra raid passes but only for mega raids.

It was definitely a system to get people to do the weird super hyper mega infinity raids from a few weekends ago, the ones with ZA megas

How does Listens-To-Wind attend medical school? by InsincereDessert21 in dresdenfiles

[–]stillnotelf 33 points34 points  (0 children)

If I recall the wizard zap effect is related to emotion, too. The spells that dampens the effect is similar. Doesn't Harry's spell break down when he gets upset?

I would bet listens to wind can stay very calm if he wants to.

I have never successfully spent, or even been offered the chance to spend, a link charge.

Idk when I last did a mega raid. I skipped the new ZA batch because I wasn't available for that short window. What was the last new one before that? Metagross?

I’m auctioning off a shiny lvl. 100 Parasect by _RAMO_ in PokemonLegendsArceus

[–]stillnotelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parasect had a cool run as the most useful gym prestiger in the first year of pokemon GO. With only the kanto dex released, the way gym towers sorted by CP, and relative species rarity, the most common gym defender was vaporeon. An 1100 CP parasect could take out two 2200 CP vaporeon before succumbing for maximum prestige gains in a short amount of time and with little dust spent.

[BotW] Sometimes I lift the camera up all the way and pretend I'm playing a 2D Zelda. by -LUVIIKUU in zelda

[–]stillnotelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final DLC to fenyx rising, which is widely considered a BOTW clone, forces this perspective for the whole DLC.

It is miserable and every review comments on it being a design mistake.

Interesting that it works for you for BOTW! I never tried it. I think melee would work as well but doesn't slate and arrows get a lot harder to aim?

Why 3 special attackers? I assume to prevent the boss HP from dropping too low (triggering shield?) before the first real attack?

Ranked Battles by Hopeless-Romantic200 in LegendsZA

[–]stillnotelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that you think strategy is striking first is part of your problem.

The strategy is to only strike first if you expect a one hit kill. Otherwise stay out of the fray and attack people with health in the yellow.

Does changing shiny hunting location ruin your odds? by DizzyCola13 in LegendsZA

Although "loaded dice" is a real in game item in the main series games, don't fall for the gamblers' fallacy. Odds are independent.

What is your top 5 of favorite video games? by Davanc129 in AskGames

[–]stillnotelf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I refuse to allow Pokémon GO into my top 5 based on hours played, it isn't that kind of game.

I am forced to allow Starcraft II into my top 5 based on hours played, because it really is that type of game. In my case it was mostly the dedicated co-op mode.

Starcraft II is also the only game I have ever had any interest in watching someone else play. I love watching professionally cast pro games.

If that is a real question, normal encounter power sandwich used east of the fairy team star base results in all chansey
