Clarification for the PoGo players that don't use Wayfarer :

No, these aren't all pokestops, they share the same grid, only one can be a Pokestop. I'm not the grinch, denying some 12 year old a pokeball.

Just trying to work out if this would be considered abuse or not, so deferring to the experts here so I can be better in the future.

Every attraction in this playground seems to have a wayspot, is this OK?

Edit : Thanks for all the hate for asking a question!

And here's the criteria saying that multiple attractions in the same Playground aren't valid :

Any potential to do the birds with these pokes?

All my stardust is currently going into Blissey +Excadrill

Rhyperior is maxed on max attack (rock) and blissey has max Spirit too in case

Level 44 so don’t want to lie about my level if it’ll be too weak to do, and would rather just work on roster than try to cheese the birds by being carried

Thanks for your time!

Couple of noob questions

Hey guys! Just got into PokieGenie a couple of days back and really enjoying it and the interface tbh , I just had a couple of questions

  1. Can I see others damage verification? I worked decently hard to get to 22% so I was holding my own against Zacian but I see no one else with tags, even players at level 70 with beastly Pokemon so I assume we just can’t see others?

  2. Do I need to start a lobby when it’s still an egg? Is this allowed? Starting a lobby right as the Pokemon spawns gives very little if not no time to get a group before he times out. But it doesn’t accept an egg as a submission and I have to manually input , it feels like cheating at that point and gaming the system, is it officially allowed?

  3. is there any way to verify while a poke is in mega? Not asking for the extra % damage on the verify from the mega but just for me not to need to devolve it to verify damage

Thanks so much for your time guys , really appreciate it.

New to this whole Pokemon thingy, do I purify?

What I’ve managed to gather myself online :

Shadow better for damage in raids
Shadow Tyrantrum not bad rock type
Need event happening in October to get rid of bad charged attack if remaining Shadow
Purify means becomes a hundo but loses damage

Result : no clue what to do

Has the game vanished from Xbox for anyone else?

Saw the game last night & was interested. Figured i'd put it on to download before leaving the house and it's gone! Not only gone from Game Pass but from the Xbox store as well!

Any other Xbox frogs have this issue? I'm in the UK if it's relevant.

Therapist says that follow up subluxations aren’t damaging

I’ve had a SLAP tear from 2 to 4 o clock. When doing my physical therapy it subluxated again, was very painful and has felt increasingly unstable. My PT says that this isn’t actually damaging and I should power through with the therapy.

I know, I know I should trust my PT, she’s a shoulder expert too. But it feels odd to say that subluxations aren’t damaging to the shoulder, has anyone had this feedback too? Seems counterintuitive, I’m ready to trust my therapist it just seems very odd!

Thanks guys!

I truly thought it was Ludwig reacting and explaining how he loved NL's content. I can't find it with any kind of "google fu", I can find the original clip fairly easily

Non Aniri Teams for Sand Devil 25 - 3 Epics

Had too much time the other day and wanted to line up a Merouka team for Sand Devil 25. Turns out it's a right pain to tune stuff yourself. I use Arbiter as a booster but you can use an epic like Seeker

Builds and AI:

Merouka - Regen/Immortal - 224 Speed, A3 Prio 1, A2 Prio 2.

Fat man - Tanky, Regen optional but helps - 160 Speed, A2 Prio 1, A3 Disabled. (Works for any Spirit/Tanky damage dealer with a 3 turn CD damage skill).

Speed Booster - Just Over 270 speed to boost Merouka before SD's First turn

Gnut/ 4 Turn Damage tune for this is a little harder but should work slightly faster than Merouka around 240.

There may be a way to tune this for a duo without the booster. I'll be fiddle with Merouka's build over the next few days to see if I can.

Embrys Solo:

2 setups: 270+ Speed, No stoneskin or under 270 with stoneskin.

AI :
Form 1 Metamorph Open/Prio 1.

Form 2 Metamorph Don't use.

Should then work naturally off of him healing, In the slower build you may need to tune him with Prio 1 HP Swap, You can also build him full tank and he'll gradually wear down the SD with his reflect anyway.

Work on your thumbnails!

I appreciate I am still very much a small fry but the impact of working on my thumbnails and titles has been absurd. Views have shot up.

Small workflow :

Look at the market, look at other people's thumbnails in your niche. You don't need to copy them, just see what's working and what isn't.

Decide on ONE technique to practice/implement per thumbnail. Yes, you want to make a perfect thumbnail, but you cannot to begin with. Work on one aspect for now. It is better to have a good/solid grasp of 1 technique at a time than half a grasp/rushed on 10.

Things I learnt 1 thumbnail at a time :
Backglow
Shadows
Outlining text nicely
Learnt how to simulate rain
Made Embers
Colorizing an image (this is really useful if you have a concept but no good existing art to accompany it)
Adding Fog
Adding Vignette.

Work on titles, For this, look at your niche. I found my niche had a lot of older people, so the whole ALL CAPS WOW titles weren't actually so good.

Ignore A/B testing until you're bigger. You don't have a big enough audience for a while IMHO, and it just gives you meh results.

Make a thumbnail + title THEN the video. Obviously this varies depending on if your video is scripted or not scripted but a fantastic Thumbnail / title that you can slightly mold the video around for a good hook is worth 10x a good video that is hard to "hook" or make a good title for!

Small general thumbnail tips:

If you think it looks way too bold and in your face, you're probably along the right track! Your text has to be massive, your font feels stupid, it's bolded to the Nth degree with shadows and glow, good! This has to hold up at stupidly low resolutions on mobile screens

Work on a bigger canvas, but not TOO big. Working on the 1280x720 base that youtube wants is generally OK, I prefer to work at 1920.. Beware going too big depending on your program. Rasterized programs (Photoshop/GIMP) really start looking bad at bigger resolutions IMHO. Youtube compresses it to poop and it looks horrendous. I had really bad results at 4K.

You need a point of focus. A bright, blue sky might look beautiful as a photo by itself, but when it's a thumbnail it's drawing so much non general attention, things need to be dark, so others can be light.

It's a thumbnail, not a work of art: This is the biggest point for a lot of people, I see some really quaint, sometimes gorgeous artworks through the medium of thumbnails in subs like these. But they suck AS thumbnails. It sucks when you're an artist and it feels like you have to slaughter your baby with bold text and glow, but you need to.

You have limited time per person.. This is the crux of all the advice really. The average person will fly past your thumbnail and title, it needs to really attract them.

Title tips :

GAME/Video/Topic NAME LATER, especially if it's long. You have probably about 3 to 4 words to draw their attention. If your first 4 words are Jeffrey the Video Game Definitive Edition then you're not gonna get clicks! Ambiguity is good.

But you do generally want the name of the game/content in the title for SEO (Search Engine Optimization), the title holds a lot more weight here than the description.

Hiding the game name late in the title, being vague BUT having a photo of the game in your thumbnail has two effects :

A) those who don't know the game are drawn to click
B) Those who know the game, feel like they are in the "know" in the "inside club" of having the same knowledge as you and will click to share in this slight feeling of community you've built in their head.

Cursed City Hard "hacks" - Non champion specific

Figured I'd share these tips in text form too for anyone that doesn't like videos :

Scarab King - Has such low damage in CC that anyone with Golden Elixir + Warmaster or Poison can eventually solo him. For someone that seems like such a difficult roadblock, he's really trivialized with Golden Elixir.

Ice Golem Hard - Has no minions that deal damage & deals low damage. 4pc Mercurial protects you from Heal debuff + decrease defence and you can just slowly whittle him down with a regen set or golden elixir otherwise. His health is quite low so just Warmaster will eventually kill him.

Fire Knight Hard - IMHO the most important stage behind Amius, a full eternal soulstone basically. You don't need freeze, as long as you break his shield once and can then put decrease speed on him, you should be near guaranteed to break it again. Then any form of healing reduction will let you slowly whittle him down.

It's funny, I freeze Fire Knight Hard in CC way less often than not using freeze.

Bommal - Golden Elixir essentially brings down the threshold of the bombs from 40% MaxHP damage to 30%-20% depending on level of your relic. You do need regen for this, you don't for scarab but after 2 bombs you will be below 50%, so you need to get over that level again.

Either bring someone without debuffs/buffs or someone with high resistance. Yet again he's squishy enough where as long as you just survive, you'll win.

Sand Devil - Can be Solo'd by ANYONE of a good affinity & Miracle Heal, with over 100K health in regen/Elixir and a bit of speed (200+) . This works because his big blast sits at about 75-90K damage, and with good affinity, you can't be crit, so you can't be oneshot. Warmaster yet again should be enough damage to kill him. I've done this with Husk, with Embrys etc.

Does the age of your audience guide the type of packaging you use?

I've been making Thumbnails/Titles for my niche after looking at the popular creators of the niche. But I've noticed that the age of the viewers is quite a lot older than the typical Youtube base. Would you take this knowledge and go towards more "factual" titles, less clickbaity? Or does being slightly hyperbolic even work on older guys?

reddit.com
u/Thegenuinebuzz — 3 months ago

How are these stats? Exactly 40 days since starting Youtube. July 12th was when I focused more heavily on packaging, mostly thumbnail artistry in photoshop.

The thumbnail changes are doing a ton of work. No AI involved at all, just learning new techniques on photo editing software. I say photoshop but it's GIMP but analogous enough (as in a pure photo editor as opposed to a composer like Canva)

Anything I'm missing in the stats? Something that doesn't look good?
