    When will Pokemon learn that party-wide EXP is only justifiable when combat involves multiple fighters? It makes sense in Xenoblade or Final Fantasy, because it's 3 or 4 fighters with others in reserve. Pokemon is mainly 1v1, so should be only that fighter gets EXP.

    The harder mode with the ability to turn off, or completely removes XP Share altogether

    @Plazorn That sounds like an excellent idea, having an Easy Mode and a Challenge Mode that affects Trainers' levels and team compositions; why haven't they done that already?
    Oh, wait, they have, back in 2012.
    The EXP Share toggle wasn't a thing back then, but still.

    Woah! I never knew about that. I wish it wasn’t exclusive to Unova, which as you know didn’t do as well as the others…

    Let's Go may be heavily flawed in a lot of ways, but in hindsight it's got one thing I love - AVs replacing EVs, harkening back to stat EXP in RBYGSC. It's possible to max out all six stats, instead of only a max of two.

    I just find it more fun to have fully-maxed-out stats - not for the story, obviously, but for postgame challenges like the Battle Tower (or one of its clones), or in LGPE's case Master Trainers.

    I mean the Let's Go full AV meta was horrid. Everything just had an insane amount of bulk and battles went on too long. If LGPE had a Battle Tower in the same vein as BDSP where things are actually competitive, you'd have battles going on far past the point where they're fun. I do thing it's fun to just see big numbers on every mon, but it trivialises what challenge is left in the post-game.

    Well, maybe not LGPE's "one AV = one stat point"; stat EXP back in the Game Boy games used (square-root of stat EXP)/4, and the divided-by-four part was carried over for EVs.
    Keep the EV system, minus the 510-total cap, I'd say.

    The murder of Sarah Everard is unfortunate and sad, yes, but why did I see Channel 5 News demonise all men by making them all out to be potential criminals? Sooo not the case. The vast majority of men AREN'T.
    RichardTheKing

    Also ignores female abusers and male victims, too, which is unfortunately far too common - only male abusers and female victims are ever brought up, such a blatant double standard.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    In addition, why should men have to change their behaviour over something most of them would never, ever do? Apart from self-preservation, to lower the risk of accusations/allegations against them?
    Such a disgusting response to what is truly unfortunate and unforgivable of the ONE man who did it.

    Why the fuck is it illegal to not vote in Sydney? I don't know anything about the candidates, nor do I care; why can't I just abstain? Not have to shower, get dressed, drive to the nearest voting station, wait for a booth to be empty, number a couple boxes, then drive home?

    Sure, voting itself might not take long, but that in itself is bad because it means the preparation is longer than the event! Ugh.
    If I don't vote, I get slapped with a $140 or so fine, for some idiotic reason.

    And yes, I'm lazy and (often) proud of it.

    If there's one fanfic I really want to read, it's one where XC2 meets T:TGC - Rex and Pyra go through a portal and end up in Torna, with Rex able to chat with his ancestor and Pyra able to talk to her past self.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Pyra seeing Mikhail and Milton again would be interesting, as they're the reason she exists; how would she react to seeing them again? Or a much...more naive, Jin? How would Rex interact with Addam and Lora? Would they be able to prevent the two endgame disasters?
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    I dunno, if it's written well it could be interesting, seeing the future meet the past - especially depending on *when* Rex and Pyra go back - pre-Olethro Ruins? During the Leftheria Archipelago? After the suit change? Oh, and them "stumbling through a portal" isn't weird, thanks to the Land of Challenge; could even be the Nopon Archsage that arranges it.

    If there's one piece of "advice" I hate, it's when people suggest changing game VA to Japanese if the English VA is awful - this isn't a "better" option, since most English players don't know Japanese!

    Not only could it harm immersion, since everyone's now effectively speaking gibberish (and thus not matching subtitles), but there's plenty of dialogue that doesn't even get subtitles, such as often-important mid-battle chatter, such as ally and enemy attack exclamations.

    So, my Mum has run out of space on her iPhone, and would like me to transfer all her photos to her laptop. What's the best way to transfer just over 33,000 photos to a Macbook Pro running 10.12 Sierra?

    If she ever plugged it into the macbook it would probably have synced automatically. But people these days hardly use computers anymore.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Tried iTunes syncing, Photos, and Image Capture - photos didn't appear at all, neither did any option to import/sync. Also tried backing up her phone, but it threw up a "disconnected" error near the end.
    And, well, she's not exactly fully computer-literate.
    The Real Jdbye

    I'm pretty sure syncing should've worked, maybe photo syncing is turned off somehow?
    A backup won't do much good since AFAIK it's encrypted and you can't get any files out of it.

    I don't find showers relaxing at all; after coming home from work, I just wanna rest, not spend time standing in a small rectangular cubicle, wasting water.

    Maybe your problem is that you shower cubicle is too small. I hate shower cubicles because my elbows keep hitting the sides and I can't bend down properly to clean further below more easily. It's a bit claustrophobic.

    So how did Rhea maintain control over Garreg Mach Monastery for almost a millennium? Her then-current personas would've needed to 'die' and be 'replaced with a successor', right?
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Thing is, not even she can be in two places at once, since Replicate is Fates-exclusive. So how'd she work around this?
    "In the event of my death, I nominate X to be my successor" "wait who's X I've never seen her before"
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    And then how she would've had to change her appearance and mannerisms somewhat to pull off being different people...sure, she could likely reuse some after enough time since people would've forgotten/died, but still.
    Unlike Princess Celestia, Rhea has to at least keep a facade of regular humanity.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    They never did satisfactorily explain how she pulled this off...at least Seteth and Flayn are somewhat-recent arrivals, having hidden themselves prior, so they're excused.

    dont think they use anesthesia anymore, so your gonna be awake through it all.
    IF THEY DO use anesthesia on you, however, then RECORD YOURSELF. leave your phone voice recording in a pocket to hear yourself. TRUST ME

    for the recovery, find a story game to marathon, and try to get as much time off as you can. Trying to do homework is pointless. just do what i did and argue with the teachers until they give in

    That party that happened last night? I was fine with most of it - but when those absolute IDIOTS started playing LOUD MUSIC outside, below my window, from midnight to almost 1 am, KEEPING ME AWAKE when they were legally supposed to SHUT UP...well, I'd say I was entitled to be pissed off.

    And trying to sleep while utterly furious is not ideal, for me, since it makes it harder to fall asleep. So yeah, did not get much sleep AT ALL due to those selfish, (probably) drunk c**ts.
    AND I TOLD MY BROTHER TO SHUT THE HELL UP VIA TEXT, MULTIPLE TIMES. Did it happen? NO. If I could, I'd ban his "friends" from the house, and I feel like punching something.

    imo you mentioned way too much about the second chapters weird path, and I know a lot of people that would find the information you gave as major spoilers.

    But not my problem anyway, thats for someone else to decide
    Seriel

    Also as a small extra note in case anyone gets the wrong idea, it was later explained the reason Chapter 2 took so long was because between Chapters 1 and 2 he also planned the entire rest of the game, down to plots and all dialogue. So the rest of the chapters will take significantly less time to complete.
    Ricken
    Ricken
    Hahaha, I'm gonna forget all these things by the time I'm even done with chapter 1 anyway :)
    Every chapter release gives me more hype; I'm gonna try to make Deltarune into a single magical manic episode and never forget an ounce of it, just because I know I'm gonna find so much to enjoy
    So uh no hurt from the slight slight spoilers, and I'm very excited and stuff
    and awkward. good god.

    While I do absolutely love XC2 and T:TGC, the worst thing in them is Massive Melee Mythra - ugly censored costume for Mythra, yet has THE BEST crit boost.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Why couldn't this shitty costume Aux Core have a similarly shitty effect?! Why does its effect have to be so great, tempting people to put it on Mythra and thus completely wreck her appearance?!
    Most of the other costume Aux Cores, gotten from the Land of Challenge, have crappy effects, so it'd make sense.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    MMM gives a 25% critical-hit rate boost, whilst Critical Up VI (which is otherwise the best crit-rate up boost) gives 22%, and is only available, very rarely, from the Land of Challenge in XC2, and from completing Mythra's Affinity Chart in T:TGC - and MMM is available at the very start of both games.
