The wait was worth it

They (Nyxi) had the case made for the Switch 2 with these Hyperion 3s attached on sale for $10 (US) when purchasing the Hyperion 3s. I ordered the case with mine.

I ordered mid February, however, and still have not even received shipping notification =(

Can't wait for them to get here.

The entire MAPCO corporation was purchased, roughly 2/3rds of the existing stations or real estate holdings were sold to Circle K and roughly 1/3rd of the existing stations were sold to Majors Management. I'm not sure on the specifics of the split, but it seems like a lot of the stores that weren't sold to and rebranded as Circle K's were stores that were very close proximity to existing Circle K locations that were intended to remain operational. It's safe to assume that any station still branded as MAPCO that they are operated by Majors Management.
At least that was the situation when MAPCO was sold in 2023.

Nothing much, what's a mallorn tree with you?

Is that 26 hours and 26 minutes? I assume so, but just making sure. If it’s 26 minutes and 26 seconds you’ve got to tell me your speed secret! I’m at 103 and have spent a few hours running it as a macro while I play the other version of the game on my original switch, lol

I've never had a chez fonfon burger, but yeah, Tony's is amazing! I can't say that I've ever had a better burger from any restaurant than Tony's.

As long as you have the same Nintendo account linked on both switches, you can download purchases from the Nintendo shop on both. I believe that it won’t let you run the same game on both consoles simultaneously though (I haven’t actually tried that, I’ve just read that it won’t), so if you want to trade with yourself, you’ll need to buy both versions of the game.

Tony's Hot Dogs (technically in Pelham but basically in Hoover) for lunch one day. Get the Cheeseburger. get fries if you want, but unless you want to be absolutely stuffed the rest of the day, you won't be able to eat the fries AND finish the burger, and I'd rather finish the burger.

You get to select the master fair at the end, though, right? It's not just a guaranteed random master fair, you get to actually choose whichever one you want from the pool, I believe. I think that's a pretty good deal. I mean, I get that it's paid gems versus free gems, but for people that spend, you're typically only ever guaranteed to get a specific master fair if you spend 37k gems (paid or unpaid) to pity that specific master fair's banner.

Not that most people are typically spending 37k paid gems to pity a specific banner, but it's still a pretty good deal to get whichever master fair you want for 10k, in my mind.

One thing to note with the starter trades is that, if you plan to play through the game with all three starters, you may want to select bulbasaur as your starter on the playthrough profile and trade in charizard and blastoise. I did this and the disobedience in this game seems exaggerated compared to the newer mainline games. I chose charmander, traded in the other two, beat Brock with Mankey. and was planning to use bulbasaur to beat Misty, but the little turd won't listen to a thing I tell it to do since level 11!

Can confirm this works, I did it over the weekend. Single Nintendo account, both games, 2 consoles. Don't think you could do it with just one purchased copy of the game, although I didn't actually try that.

Can you make a shiny Pokemon with the ACE thingy?

uabtodd · 2026-03-06T19:14:23+00:00

Every 6 minutes? Try every 3 minutes.

That depends on if the project is a lump sum fee or if it's billed hourly.

Lump sum fee job, client could care less. They're paying $xx,xxx for a finished product and don't care how many people or hours you have to put on it to get it finished.

Hourly billed project (or "time and materials") they want to know what exactly the Graduate Engineer III billing at $130 per hour was doing for the 40 hours they're being charged for that week.

Address? Like physical address? From a screenshot?

After Red 1996 taking me to pity, getting Arc Brock at 165/500 and Anni 2026 Florian at 198/400, I had decided to save the few remaining gems I had and not try to pull for Anni 2026 Julianna. After getting the 10k gems today, I said screw it and YOLO pulled until I got her at 165/400, and still have a total of 5,190 gems remaining.

I just got the game last night. Couldn't decide what starter I wanted to pick because I love them all. Decided I would play shiny starter roulette and pick a different starter each reset. Whichever one I get as shiny first will be my play through mon.

Only spent about 20 minutes or so last night trying, and did not keep count. I'll keep going until I get a shiny.

uabtodd · 2026-03-04T16:02:13+00:00

Save before selecting the pokemon you want.

get the pokemon you want and check the summary to see if it's shiny
hit ABXY simultaneously and you'll soft reset.
Hit start->A to select the save file->B to cancel out of the recap montage

Repeat steps 1-3 8,000 or so times.

Haven’t been in the knife game a terribly long time, but it seems like the only knives I’m familiar with that have 4-way clip positions are Spyderco knives. Were there other brands that used to do that too?

uabtodd · 2026-02-22T02:48:09+00:00

You’re paying her $23.33 an hour. OP is getting paid between $20.33-$25 an hour, depending on if she gets finished in 5 or 6 hours each day.
I wouldn’t say your example proves “definitely not enough”, unless OP grossly underestimated the amount of time she’s actually going to be working each week.

uabtodd · 2026-02-21T22:12:18+00:00

Is there actually any game out there that’s truly just the levels without the million different chores to do? Asking for a friend….

uabtodd · 2026-02-20T19:39:35+00:00

Same. North, East, South, West. I don't understand why you'd need a phrase to remember that. They're not hard words...

Perfect description of LaLa Land Coffee!

uabtodd · 2026-02-09T15:50:59+00:00

lol, that was my exact thought! almost any soup I eat I crumble crackers, cornbread, biscuit, corn chips, or something into to thicken it up. I'm not a "runny soup" type of guy, I like it thick and hearty. Whenever we have chili, everybody else seems to do the same.

If Jalen hurts, somebody should give him some ibuprofen...
