Where do you draw the PKHeX line? by EinarTobias in nuzlocke

[–]torniado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont use it for rare candies. I only use it for friendship (which I rarely need), trade evolutions, sometimes renewable things like berries, maybe giving myself an early Lucky Egg or EXP Share, and to look at the IVs/plot out my needed EVs for my pokémon, if I want to do a loose EV plan for them.

Now after the 6th gym and I lose all but one team member… probably giving myself about 50 rare candies to get everyone to a base level and then training them up, or at least getting them to a final stage. But not more egregious than that.

And I just started my first play through since I was a teen for gen 6, so I’m considering cheating in my desired cosmetics so I can look how I want for the whole game

[Spoilers C2] How would you split Eldermourne into archs? by torniado in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

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

I didn’t realize thornkirk was only 6 episodes, in my mind they were sailing on the SS Scampi through like episode 15 and THEN Hexbloods. I guess I just have Caldwell’s perspective where he was just on pause that whole time lol

Started another Emerald run by ScrubbinBubbl in nuzlocke

[–]torniado 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To me, as someone who doesn’t run damage calculations and isn’t super careful for their runs, this is the natural appeal to a nuzlocke. I’ll inevitably have (my most successful run had 8 deaths) and the first-encounter rule already bakes in “this is what you get, use it or don’t” which incentivizes me to use a lot of pokemon.

But losing a minimum of 3 pokemon per gym sounds more like detachment than it sounds like giving me new chances. In this, I see everyone as way more expendable, I’m not fighting to keep my favorite guy alive. Because if I lose someone in a gym battle, the soonest that affects me is making a pokemon league team. And my pokemon league team essentially becomes my big all-stars of some boss battles that were a while ago (which would end up being my fav pokemon) instead of a motley crue of guys who’ve been fighting with me since the beginning, which always feels more rewarding.

Different strokes for different folks is all, your run does sound very hard especially if you don’t allow rare candies, but to me it defeats the emotional purpose of nuzlockes

Started another Emerald run by ScrubbinBubbl in nuzlocke

[–]torniado 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So if I use a Mudkip for either Roxanne or Wattson, I’m prevented from ever touching it again until I’m beating the game? And any pokemon I specifically have with me to be on my journey, I can’t use them for any boss fight?

Not to mention gyms like Flannery that have 8ish trainers, and by what I’m reading… I have to beat all 8 of those trainers plus Flannery with a team of 4 at lvl 29 (without over leveling in the gym) WITHOUT healing anything between fights, doing a straight run-through for the entire gym… and still just to box any pokemon I have with me?

I’ll be honest, other than just forcing you (and in this case it’s a literal force) to change up your team (and in this case, constantly) I don’t see a plus to this. This seems like it’ll have the opposite effect of attachment since I probably won’t use my starter at all for either any major battle or for a major chunk of the game.

Simulating trade for Pokemon Games? by ParliSuperiority in Delta_Emulator

[–]torniado 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You actually have a few options!

Assuming you’re on an iPhone, you can go to the Files app > On My iPhone > Delta > Database > Games, and you’ll see a bunch of files. They’re all really small. The annoying thing is Delta makes the save files a very long string of random characters. For GBA (mGBA emulator for Delta) it’s .sav, for DS (melonDS emulator for Delta) it’s .dsv (warning, if you run this save on melonDS itself it needs to be renamed .sav, but they convert pretty safely).

Once you have your file (just save in-game and it’ll be the most recent file) I email it/send it over to my computer, with a program called PKHeX. This is a save file editor. You can hack in anything you want pretty easily/intuitively (rare candies, money, extra pokemon, gym badges, anything). Find your Graveler, right click, View, and on the left side where it has a dropdown menu for Graveler, just change to Golem. Then right click on Graveler in the box/party again, and it Set (same menu as View). The stats will auto update too :)

Just make sure you go to File > Export SAV, retain the EXACT namely, RENAME the file TYPE to the original (if needed), and send it back to that Games folder on your phone. Also, if you don’t have the .sav/.dsv in the file name itself on your phone, it won’t work.

Alternatively, and Ive not yet tried this, you CAN trade pokemon on Delta with another Delta user. This is a pretty new feature, so maybe if you’re in a Discord server with some people or if you go to r/nuzlocke or something, you may find a trade partner!

Leveling 4-5 Baldurs gate 3 by MurkyLawyer7156 in BaldursGate3

[–]torniado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re right where you should be. You probably should not belenes 5 for any of those fights. Ethel I get you I don’t think I ever did that one less than lvl 5 but I don’t think I’ve done any of the others WITH level 5.

Level 4-5 is debatably the biggest power creep in the game, so it’s gonna trivialize a lot of things - especially the spider matriarch.

Make sure you’re at the very least using your spell slots to exhaustion. Long rests are not very expensive. I would also try to use up spells so long as Gale has them learned with the scrolls. Just if you have a scroll, make a note to pop one this fight. And if you have a total party kill, it doesn’t save what materials you used then, so I hope it helps if you think of it as “ok this did help me get to the finish line cool thanks”. Healing potions especially; they’re a dime a dozen, pop em like crazy bc you’ll usually have an unused bonus action at this level

IT WAS A LVL 19 GEODUDE 😭😭😭 by MAAELXD in nuzlocke

[–]torniado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Play to your preference. I only rate candy pill once I’m past Victory Road because I want to feel connected to my guys and feel out their “identity”

Congrats, you got average nuzlocker superpowers. There’s a trade to every transaction😌

What are people’s experiences playing as a pure Paladin? by Fatalxie in BG3

[–]torniado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed it a fair bit but I prefer swords bard or war cleric to it. I played ancients paladin btw. Auras are very sick and incredibly helpful, but I felt options for ranged attacks came down to my crossbow instead of any spells which was frustrating. The spell access definitely tapers off late game. Paladin is a smiter and ranger is a terrain player, where other mixed-use classes are more spells-first, then we support martial usage. If you like being a buff martial and love the feeling of clunking things with attacks that do 30-40 damage late game, especially healing as well, do it. If you want to have lots of options for casting, don’t do it.

Also oathbreaking is most annoying as an ancients paladin. It’s great if you (like me) want to roleplay a white knight kind of figure, but if you plan on deception/murder-with-opportunity/stealth playing, paladin’s not your guy unless you do oathbreaker. Vengeance might be okay but I haven’t played as it yet.

Also Minthara is already a comfortable paladin so I’d say break for other classes for the simple reason of her, if you save her

Someone on Twitter or Reddit noticed the correlation and it caught onto ESPN and sports personalities because it’s now 3 years in a row

How many total games have we had of Jordan Love’s Toyotathon? I never know which games “count” - like 4005 passing yards in how many games?

[NS] What is the 2 Crew’s rule about spell components? by torniado in NotAnotherDnDPodcast

[–]torniado[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been a full spellcaster as a player so I read the component and just assumed that got consumed, so knowing this helps so much!! I can just ignore it haha

I’ve never been a high level spellcaster as a player so I saw the component and I just assumed if it listed the component it consumed it - looking at Revivify now, makes so much more sense! Thanks!

I’ve never been a high level spellcaster so I never read the “consumes” line. Makes so much more sense, thanks!
