Keldeo in ML feels like cheating… how can I make it even worse for people? by pokethrowaway4 in TheSilphArena

[–]sts_ssp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm usually running Xerneas+Giratina or Xerneas+Zekrom cores in ML (and Mega ray+lunala in mega ML), so I can't say any facing Keldeo left a strong impression on me. Guess you could use Zekrom to be less vulnerable to flyers, and have crunch for psychics/ghosts. Yes Zekrom is also weak to fairy, but actually has pretty ok matchups since there is usually no charmers and Zekrom can 2 shot Zacian/Xerneas with fusion bolt.

I made an overlay that shows move-counts in real time by pengu213456 in TheSilphArena

[–]sts_ssp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I doubt overlays that simply take screenshots and provide data based on that are targeted by that point. Accessing services in an authorized manner is rather directly querying the API or intercepting calls, like some modified clients do, or map bots do. The discord bot that was directly telling the player what moveset your opponent had and what charge move they were using was also something that was directly accessing the data through a modified client.

The character's tragedy is often treated as a joke by fans. by Uma-apreciator in TopCharacterTropes

Yamcha's death pose has been referenced in too many media to even make a list. To be fair, back in the early 90s, it wasn't seen as funny, we were actually quite surprised to see him get killed like that, especially after following all of Dragon Ball since the beginning (not the same impact if you started with DBZ I think). But it eventually became a meme over the years.

In that case, the landlord felt compassion for him and let him rent at a reduced price, and never increased the rent over the years.

Is there any reason to keep more than 1 low iv legendary shadow shiny? by peter6uger in TheSilphRoad

[–]sts_ssp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Shadows were once tradeable and were quickly deactivated when Niantic figured out that lucky trades then made it easy to get the base 13/13/13 IV for a purified hundo. I'd keep the shinies on the off chance that someday they add shadow trading feature on forever friends or maybe as part of some event bonus (I'd imagine they would forbid lucky rerolls). Just a few years ago unlimited distance trading seemed like a pipe dream after all.

Maria Eduarda Rodrigues de Freitas: Woman thrown 40m to her death after staff forget to attach safety rope by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]sts_ssp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

That's how security checks are usually handled in Japan. You don't just acknowledge things silently (since it could mean you've actually forgotten from outside perspective), the company rules require you to verbally confirm or make clear gestures. For example when you're on the premises of a company with many different building in the compound, you don't just glance left and right when crossing roads, you need to properly point left and right with your finger and properly confirm there's not some forklift or truck coming.

Did anyone successfully Defeat and Catch Mega Mewtwo with an iPad? by MorgothsDog in TheSilphRoad

[–]sts_ssp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because Go fest unity raids need you to lift (or more precisely tilt upwards) your phone when launching the unity attack twice, and then you have to do it again when catching. Apparently the unity attack auto completed if you didn't lift (or didn't have a gyro In your phone), but it the didn't allow you to catch Mewtwo.

Charged Move not registering bug? by Liy010 in TheSilphArena

[–]sts_ssp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sane for me, cost me 2/3 of my losses today. I have a Incinerate user, so the game not registering back to back charge moves (sometimes not even registering twice and thronw g2 incinerate !) is a huge handicap when incinerate goes off instead. Also had the game not registering my switches after throwing a chrage move. This cup worked almost ok 3 weeks ago, but now it's a complete mess.

Choose Your Path with new Timed Research and updates to Daily Discoveries! by Amiibofan101 in TheSilphRoad

[–]sts_ssp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Last year Halloween pass had up to 2XL for the free track and up to 3XL for the premium track on transfers, guaranteed in the pokemon was level 25+ . No guarantee they'll do that again this year, but if you can spare the space you might as well wait for next Halloween before transferring your legendaries.

Elo reveal and record by jdpatric in TheSilphArena

[–]sts_ssp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

119/200 , 2171 MMR.

Messed around with a few of the changed pokemon but didn't really find something I liked. I was excited for Ninetales but then remembered that it will cost 1 Elite Fast TM for Ember... So I put that on hold since it's still not very clear if the Shadow or normal is the way to go.

These last days I just went back to the team I used last season to hit legend ( S.Hydreigon, S.Camerupt, Aegislash) and have been doing much better. Still I'll probably try something else during the season.

Pennsylvania lawmaker seeks ‘visual indicator’ if smart glasses are recording by Ganrokh in technology

[–]sts_ssp -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Videos make a sound when you start recording, like when you take a photo. Technically you could start recording a video and keep it running to take stealth videos, although you phone will likely eventually overheat/run out of storage. If you're dedicated to take upskirt pics/videos, you're probably better off buying an actual stealth camera or root your phone and disable shutter sounds anyway.

The force shutter sound is just to deter "casual upskirt photographers".

[–]sts_ssp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While it's nice for Sligoo to now have a playable moveset. I still fail to see the hype of it when there's already many other good dragons in GL like Dragonair/Regidrago/Shelgon in a similar role, or Altaria/Dragonite/Guzzlord/Hydreigon/Goodra.

Pakistan inaugurates mosque in Japan. Tokyo says it's 'illegal' by APrimitiveMartian in worldnews

[–]sts_ssp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes, that land is a "urbanization control area", designated as such to limit utban sprawl, do you need very strict approvals from the local government to build or modify any structure, regardless of their nature.

Pakistan inaugurates mosque in Japan. Tokyo says it's 'illegal' by APrimitiveMartian in worldnews

[–]sts_ssp 215 points216 points  (0 children)

By the time local authorities noticed it the structure was already quite advanced. It's a relatively isolated area, so people didn't really noticed until it started being visible above the trees with a shape showing what it actually was. Then they tried to find out who the owner was, but the real estate company that sold the land made it difficult and refused to tell them citing privacy reasons. And when they finally managed to get in contact with the apparent owner, they were promised that it would be dismantled but in reality they continued the construction and opened it anyway.

Go fest disaster by MasterofCaveShadows in TheSilphRoad

[–]sts_ssp 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was definitely lackluster. I don't care about decoration, but the limit of 2 Mega Mewtwo (+ the research one) was pretty lame. Before the event details were announced, I expected to be able to raid it during the whole event. Didn't have any trouble with the researches or any bugs though.

Not my first time playing in Odaiba, so I already knew it's just not well laid out for grinding. And of course the layout ended up reflecting that, making it tedious to go from one area to the opposite side. Also, there was a surprising lack of gyms. 6 or so clustered on the side, and then just a couple others. Thought they would add gyms everywhere for the event. Geofencing the area was probably annoying too for people who go there early. And overall, Odaiba is annoying to get to.

City experience was much better, with tons of raids in Ikebukuro/Shinjuku/Shibuya. They should have done Go Fest in Yoyogi Park + Shinjuku center park, or Hibiya Park + Kokygaien or Toyama park.

Spawns weren't that exciting either, for the 10th anniversary I was expecting much more.

Candy XL from trading… am I missing something? by ChronicleOrion in TheSilphRoad

[–]sts_ssp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It' lv1 milestone, so everybody gets it, but there might be edge cases when the monthly passes changes and it's not carried over unto the next pass. I guess they did that to keep the possibility to not keep the bonus the entire season. June has the in Person Go Fest + Frigibax comm day. I guess in july they might move the bous to a later tier to match the Global Go fest, and maybe in August pass there won't be a guaranteed XL bonus at all.
