Yeah, it’s exactly this. If you have no data/cookies/account history then you’re getting the default which is all rage bait, frustrating, polarizing stuff. If you want to see stuff you like fed directly to you, you have to give them some data
This drives me up the wall. Any time I point this out, the AI fanboys are so quick to say “well, that’s v3.x. If you try on 4.x it’s actually much better.” Like, sure it is. These things are really good at sounding like they know what they’re talking about, but they will just lie. Especially any time numbers or math are involved. I’ve had a chat bot tell me things like 10+3=15. And like you pointed out, if you call it out, it always says “oh my bad” and then just lies some more or doubles down. It would be cool if they could be used to teach things, but I’ve tried it for learning the rules to games, but it will just lie and fill in important numbers with other, similar numbers and present it as completely factual. So if I ever used it for something I truly didn’t know about, I wouldn’t be able to trust anything it said
Jesus, no it doesn’t. These media outlets want nothing more than to put the word “Pokémon” in their headlines to drive clicks. It’s as little like Pokémon as the game has always been
I would honestly recommend sports anime like Haikyuu or Prince of Tennis for this kind of thing. Sports anime always lean really hard into the mental game and you’ll have whole scenes playing out in freeze frame or slow-mo while characters painstakingly walk through their plans. I’m a sucker for that kind of thing
Me: “Is this Big O?”
It is.
I always loved the mystery that this show managed to capture when I was a kid. Especially catching an episode here or there on cable TV. It often meant missing key plot points or not understanding how everything fit together. Watched it through as an adult and I still really like it. I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s one of the most ridiculous things I’ve seen. Not that it’s over the top, but the absurdity of it is something I still reference to this day.
Also the phone ringing to tell you the name of the next episode is burned into my brain
Sorry. Didn’t mean to come off too strong but I’m just not catching what you were getting at. Was hoping for an explanation, not a debate. Now I’m somehow lying to myself in your eyes so I’m even more confused. Maybe you’re trolling or joking? But I guess I just won’t worry about it
“Be real” how? I’m legit confused what point you are making. “Using someone’s work for free” doesn’t mean the same as “taking someone’s work and selling it as your own.” When you buy a shirt, you can put your own art on it, but if the shirt company uses your design without credit or consent to sell more shirts, that’s a bit sketchy, no?
I’m gonna “be real” with you, it doesn’t sound like you support modding at all
I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this show, but it will hit different after the loss of Toriyama.
I’ve got to recommend Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. One of the most legendary games in the series for its sheer amount of content. It might feel a bit dated if you’ve played World or Rise, but still good
This is a PC port of the first MH Stories which was originally released on the 3DS
It’s just a special event. No different than going to a location to get a code or a distributed copy back in the day. Only difference is now you can do it online. They’ve been doing this sort of thing for nearly 20 years now. Granted, it’s a pain to try and schedule playing the game to get these mons, but they’re not necessary in any way. They’re not even mythical Pokémon that you need to complete your dex
Ah, I see. I’ve noticed several posts in this community recently that were similar, so I assume you’re just piling on to prove that the mods aren’t keeping up? It’s not offensive, at least, so I wouldn’t bother to report it, but I was just really confused lol. Now I understand that you were just shitposting to prove a point
…what?
I suppose the body of the post is optional in this community, but maybe take a few minutes to explain what you mean instead of just throwing a random thought out there
Nice. I’ll have to check it out. I’m still a couple episodes behind and I am completely unfamiliar with the manga, but I’m sure I know the character you mean just based on the intro/outro
Nintendo just released these guidelines around running a “community” tournament. In other words, an unlicensed tournament. Limiting the player cap to 200 (300 for online), no profit allowed, entry fees must be under $15 USD, must use Nintendo online servers (no Slippi), and some other stuff.
Not sure which major tournaments from this last year had a license and which didn’t, but I remember the Smash World Tour fiasco and Panda’s implosion. I know Hbox said he’s going to try to keep running Coinbox until Nintendo themselves tells him to stop in writing, but I wonder how this will affect other big TOs. How many of them are still trying to sneak under the radar unlicensed?
Honestly, it’s BS how Nintendo treats their competitive communities
I’m messing around with 6 star Tera raids in Violet and I’m wondering what the best EV spreads are for raiders. I know for most attackers you commonly want 252 sp/atk and 252 speed, but is it worth it to focus more on bulk than speed for the raids? Speed is definitely still a factor, but I’m curious what people think. I’ve been doing 252 sp/atk and 252 HP with 4 sp/def but I’m not even sure if that’s the best way to do it. Like maybe splitting more into sp/def is better than HP.
I’ve never been one to calculate damage and such, so I’m kinda looking for advice on where HP is better or worse than defenses. Or if abandoning speed on raiders is even a good idea. It’s probably case by case depending on the raider and the raid, but I’m looking for generalizations.
Specifically, I’m looking to EV train the 7 star mons that I’ve captured and I’m trying to decide if I just do the normal attack and speed route or not. Any advice or opinions are appreciated.
