tldr; Scalpers act in the best interest of honest consumers looking to buy limited-supply goods and triage them in ways that are more profitable for companies who make them. Scalping is a corrective market force that gets a bad rep because it can only thrive in bad situations, but it ostensibly make bad situations less worse for everybody. To change my view, explain a situation that scalpers actively make worse. I am not interested in any moral argument against scalping and will be ignoring every reply that claims one.
A famous artist announces that the ticket price for her next show will be 10 dollars per. This comes as a shock to fans, many were expecting to pay upwards of a 100 dollars. The venue only has 500 seats. Scalpers buy every single ticket the minute they become available online and sell them at a marked up price.
How did they make the situation better for everyone?

• Even if this concert's experience is 'worth' ten dollars, the fact that there's such a small amount of supply (seating) and such a large amount of demand means the ticket has a real value that is now much more higher than its listed value. Had the ticket's price been elastic, the price would have skyrocketed. Since the ticket's price is set, everybody with a right mind will clamor at their chance to buy a hundred-dollar experience for a ten-dollar bill. Fans may feel cheated out of losing their chance at ten dollar ticket, but its important to note that the tickets were never actually worth ten dollars. It would have sold out instantly even if the scalpers didn't do it first. This is similar to a gold bar being sold for a quarter. Like any extremely underpriced good, it would sell out instantly.
• In the scenario without scalpers, only the luckiest fans, or maybe the ones constantly refreshing the website looking for availabilities, would be able to buy a ticket before they sold out.
• In the scenario with scalpers, everyone is happier
  • People who were on-the-fence about the concert now have to reconsider paying a more realistic price for the ticket. Their tickets will go to a group of people who, on average, are willing to pay more for the experience because they value it more - this increases the overall happiness of the concert, and as I said, makes a bad situation less worse.
  • Had scalpers not intervened, a superfan would literally have no way to get a ticket besides being lucky. Fans now have an avenue to procure a ticket by purchasing it from a scalper, and it would have literally been impossible to attend the concert had this option not been available. They could have bought it off a lucky person for a higher price, but this is in-effect scalping.
  • The artist hosting the concert now hopefully knows that setting the ticket price to ten dollars was a mistake and know what to do next time. This is a future benefit, but the artist can presently enjoy an increase of merchandice, food, and drink sales at their event. People who pay higher prices for a ticket are, on average, either bigger fans or richer people. Both groups will purchase supplementary items more.
  • You may be tempted to say that this situation is worse for the lucky few who managed to get a ticket for ten dollars. Its important to note that they only got this bargain by taking advantage of an underpriced good. These people are, economically speaking, identical to scalpers - they're just not selling the good, they're selling the experience to themselves.

Now, of course, my example is simple and unnuanced. I'm going to attempt to answer some common counterarguments that would only be present in a more complicated system.

• How about the fact that scalping can artificially curb a supply that would have been enough had they not bought up everything?
  • People who believe 'scalpers curbing supply' is a problem seem confused about the concept of demand. Demand isn't just comprised of present factors, it also takes into accounts factors in the future that may influence a product's supply. Demand can be influenced by people anticipating future disruptions to the availability of a good.
  • Scalpers are only able to artifically curb a supply in a scenario where a good's supply was vulerable in the first place. In an identical situation without scalpers, the price of this good would still inflate in the same way if people believed the good's supply was vulnerable and would become more expensive in the future. People do this similarly with stocks.
  • Scalping in this scenario makes the products price and supply more robust, or better able to follow supply and demand trends. If a good's availability is able to be disrupted by scalping, its an unstable good thats vulnerable to spikes in demand or lapses in production. This does not benefit consumers. In this scenario, scalping encourages producers to invest in capital to increase the goods supply, which prevents things like this happening in the future. Think of the disaster that happened with toilet paper during COVID.
• How about scalping an essential item, like medicine or bottled water during a hurricane?
  • This is not a failure of scalping but a failure of capitalism. Capitalism does not work with goods that have unlimited supply.

Anybody else play the 5pm 2v2 tournament and have the server crash in round2 and have to play round 2 again. I did think there was 1second we were down 2 goals and the kickoff scene came up and nothing car wouldn't move then car disappeared then loading screen after all the lights came on for server issues loading screen happen said waiting for opponents in the bracket had to play them again and anytime I hit the ball they were right there no matter where I put the ball they were right there like the ball went in the net a couple of times but it didn't score. It was 0-7 definitely some kinda cheating was going on. at that point they were just playing with us. I've played in platinum tournament with my brother my rank is gold 3 in 2s I can keep up with a platinum tournament game but this match was ridiculous

Specifically referring to the end of this seasons, its been pretty bad. It's like everything is just wrong, like I can tell whether our team will win or lose by the first round or before we even start, using r6 tracker. Half the time my team has two brand new coppers and the other team gets plats, I play "gold" Elo but now coming to the end of the season it feels like it's WAY harder.
The matchmaking feels wrong (too much variance between ranks),
Smurfs are EVERYWHERE, and elo trappers? (i think thats the word)
and every second game seems to have someone closet walling.
Often times I'll go on a losing streak and it genuinely feels like the game is trying to give me worse and worse teammates the longer that streak goes on, the opposite effect for a winning streak. Its like the matchmaking encourages spiralling. Even when I get high rank teammates like Emerald or Champ they seem to not be able to compete with some random silver team with 0.7 kd and terrible win rate playing like gods (probably cheating).
I can't help like think this game is just rigged and either decides that it wants me to go on a winning streak or losing streak, and almost all of that is out of my control, even when I 5 stack.
So yeah.. sorry if its ranting just want to know its not just me or something...

I have been dating for past 3+ years and planning to marry my boyfriend. He is really a great guy who I admire, adore and respect.
But recently after a discussion with my parents, I have been questioning myself if my love is true? Or does true love actually exist?
I come from a wealthier family (networth somewhere around 80cr) than my boyfriend who comes from a family where he is the sole bread winner with lot of financial responsibilities (basically no assets). He is hardworking, passionate and I know he will be successful irrespective of anything.
Coming to our relationship, I was the one who proposed him, back then money was never my criteria. I just could not help myself from not falling for him.I knew his financial and family conditions.. But for me nothing mattered as I just saw him as an individual. He was someone who was more hardworking than me, more passionate than me and had really high morale. Currently he earns more than me though we have same degree.. So if we see individually he is more capable and also I feel is a better person than me which made me fall for him.
Coming to my family discussion, I was always with a perspective that boy and girl are equal. I am 25 now and I can say never till today I saw my parents differentiate between me and my brother. But recently now that my brother is getting married I came to realize that the whole property would go solely to my brother. I love my brother and we have a great bond. But hearing this I did not know how to react.
I know that I have cousins where girls were not given any inheritance, but my dad always complained about how unfair it is. My mom also was not given any inheritance though her dad owns a fortune (his network is 10x of my dad) .. And my mom use to complain about the same. Seeing this I expected that my parents are different, I will have an equal inheritance with my rother.But no.
Basically there is no inheritance for girl child as girls are always expected to get married into a way more wealthier family. So the whole property goes to the son alone. while if a girl does a love marriage then it's her fate and she gets no inheritance.
My family is not open to love marriage so they deemed that mine will be an arranged marriage, sometimes my brother keeps joking about how I should lend him luxuries ones I get married to a richer guy ( in an arranged marriage).
The irony is that few years back my brother fell in love with a girl (who was a gold digger and cheated on my brother later very badly) who came from a very poor family background, though my parents did not like her.. Not because she was poor but there were lot of roumors of her being not a nice girl (had multiple affairs). Still my parents agreed to my brothers choice, as it's his life. It was easy for him as he has no change in life. The girls financial condition never mattered to him as his life is not changing at all.. He will have all the money anyways. No life style change.
But for me... If I marry my boyfriend, I will be living in a 1bhk rented house with his parents. Untill recently the guy I was soo sure about now because of this drastic change which I will have to face.. I am getting a cold feet. I can convince my parents for the marriage, but I know I will get blessing but no wealth.
Till date I always thought I will be living in one of the 5 house which my dad owns, with my bf and his family. But now.. I feel I have too much to lose.
(Legally - only ancestors wealth can be distributed equally, and all the wealth we have now is solely generated by my dad (he is great at stock market). So it's his choice to not give me any assets. Though he loves me i am sure if I go for love marriage .. He won't give me a penny! )
My bf is perfect no reason to break up at all! So if my love is true I should not be afraid to let go of wealth and live in a rented 1bhk right?.. But i am feeling suddenly so chickened out. Feeling too scared about the change in my lifestyle.
I know, if we work hard we can get rich too but tentatively the struggle is scaring me.
If I chose to marry him now.. Will I blame him in future after a fight?
Will love fade away and will I regret later?
Is love greater than money?
Do i really love him? I really think I do... Then why am I getting second thoughts ?
Was I never in love with him?
I am just dwelling in these thoughts now...

I can’t believe it took me this long to get into video games. But I’m coming from TOTK, so Skyrim is HARD 🤣 I thought it would be fun to share how terrible I am at this game here. Advise me if you wish, but I'm playing in survival mode, or as I call it "chaos mode". I don’t mind if a simple task takes me 2 hours and 27 deaths. It’s all about the challenge now. I’m committed. (But I am cheating and googling a LOT)
My teen loves to watch me play (fail) but all the dying makes her anxious. She’ll yell at me to take a potion but the deadly blow/spit/fire ball has already been dealt. Just watching her react is entertainment enough.
Right now, my strategy is to pilfer and sell. Pilfer and sell. Pilfer and sell. And not get overwhelmed by the hundreds of quests. I just need money.
I stupidly went to Winterhold WAY too early and it took a dozen attempts to finally get to Windhelm without being killed or freezing to death. I finally managed this by letting some chick from the college turn me green, then into a bunch of animals, then she pledged her loyalty to me and is the first member of my party. Her spells seem to work fine on enemies, that’s all I care about.
My first quest in Windhelm was to return a ring without the person finding out. I ran into that lady and accidentally hit the button to continue dialogue and immediately ratted him out. I failed the mission but she gave me 400 gold!
Now I need to find a bed so I can finally sleep and get to level 6! 🥳

Hello, I thought of a theory on who’s Mesmer and what were his intentions. After the new trailer I feel more confident in my theory:
In the trailer there is a mention of seduction, betrayal and then gold arose, at first I was thinking that it was referring the greater will separating the great one, but that wouldn’t make as much sense as my second guess
Marika cheated on Godfrey… with Radagon, now you may be wondering how and when
First who’s Radagon? I believe he’s a descendant of the fire giants, but he was too small to even inherited the face of their god, therefore he was a salve of his own race (just like how the trolls were bullied because they were smaller than the giants)
The greater will, Marika and her army joined him and the trolls to destroy all of the fire giants…
Fast forward into the age of plenty Marika has two children that are Omens… Radagon being the lady charmer that he is, managed to seduce Marika, and they had an affair from which she got pregnant (or maybe Marika betrayed Godfrey and she seduced Radagon?)
Before signs of her pregnancy were visible she vanish Godfrey (essentially putting him in a brooms closet in case she should need him again) my main point in this is that Marika and her armies fought 3 more wars: The liurnian Wars 1 and 2, and the war against the ancient dragons, in both Godfrey did not participate because he was already vanish, so it’s bs he “defeated all major foes” it was just an excuse from Marika to hide her pregnancy.
She had Mesmer in secrecy, Mesmer found out about the Omens and I guess he decided to help his mother in destroying all of them, but he went as far as destroying their ancient culture that, before the age of plenty, were the divine.
So the only question is why Marika/Radagon fused? I believe after Radagon married Renala, Marika and him still had their secret affair and after Mesmer became their enemy (probably because he thought the solution for the omen curse was to burn the erdtree that was producing omens births) they had to patch up their mistakes. The age of plenty came to a quick end but after Radagon fused with Marika they were able to stabilize the tree enough, after this they establish the golden order and had two more children.
Miquella is searching for his brother…
Tl;dr: Mesmer is the secret Child of Marika and Radagon before they fused, he’s a product of an affair and to hide the pregnancy Marika vanished Godfrey

Just started playing Sacred Gold on my Phone. I was looking for a cheat to get rare candys. Can somebody help me find usrcheat database? I feel pretty stupid that I can’t figure it out by myself. Thank you!

I, 19, F live in India with my mother & sister. It's pretty much common to live with your parents in India, and especially for girls. My sister is 21. My parents had an arranged marriage, and since forever they've been fighting. He left us in December, 2021 (or I can honestly say that my mother asked him to go). We're a middle class family. Now when my father lived with us, my mother and him always used to have arguments, and my mother always brought that to us, told us everything since a very young age. My father was wrong in a lot of ways, but it wasn't as if my mother was a saint (from usually taunting him, to acting weird). When it all ended, it was because we were out of town, father was at home, he used to usually text us (I didn't have a phone, on mom's phone only) but my mother insisted on not replying. She didn't tell him when we were to return, and we returned very late, he slept at home, didn't open door, we were outside for 2-3 hours, scene created by mother. Now that he isn't there, my mother and sister fight very frequently. My sister wants to be on social media, and have a boyfriend (which all she has done hiddenly) now my mother gets mad at her for this (fights ranging from you're not my daughter, it's all your father's blood to go away, and beating her), and this happens every fu****g year. My sister has history of lying, deceit, stealing, once she bought a phone without telling or asking, she wasn't earning, she said she got that by saving money on travelling which my mother gave, now she lost a gold earring, which my mother says she must've sold. In all this everytime a fight happens, they drag me in the middle. I pretty much don't have any friends, no social life, and don't argue much with my mother. It's like she also says this, she also does this, and on very petty things I get scolded, my studies are also highly affected by all this, as my mother expects me to find things about my sister, talk and convince her. Once my sister's phone was picked by my mother, and sister refused to put the password in, I saw the phone in morning, and by some tech skills understood it has a dating app, I deleted that before giving phone to mom, and warned my sister regarding it, now on another app my sister wrote that I saved her, mom asked me, I said she's lying. I've saved my sister on several occasions, always trying to teach her the right thing, Right now both of them feel that I agree with the other, I try to remain on good terms with the other, and stop fights from happening by guiding them both. So both of them are like, you go talk to the other, you are cheating on me, I won't talk to you etc. Mother always ends up saying, you also want to do something like that? Am i bothering you also? Go live with your father, to me. Is it my fault to want them to calm down? Or am I wrong to save my sister?

(I guess this is a mechanic? I hope I gave it the right flair, sorry if not)
My party is level 3, soon to be level 4. They are asking to be able to buy better armor. I don't really think they need it at all yet. Is level 4 a good time for a major armor upgrade?
Is there an easy cheat sheet somewhere to help a budding dm know what to have available for what levels?
Thanks.
Edit: thank you to everyone. This was very helpful feedback for a DM that has never quite yet dealt with this. My players are impatient for higher levels and better gear even though they are not yet having trouble with the combat. But I don't want to say no purely because I think they don't need it.
After reading your answers and finding a pretty useful article online, I think I will be safe offering studded leather for those who need a buff since it is only 45 gold ish. I can make the tanks wait a little longer especially because there is a war on and it will be hard to get heavier armors if they are not in the military.
Maybe some half plate but very expensive so they have to choose between that and some magic items.
They probably have a lot more gold right now than they should have. Rookie mistake!

This is an abridged version of a 7,000+ word monstrosity spanning 4 campaigns, have fun! And TW for misogyny and human trafficking/slavery. Most of us were new to 5e, and signed up for a paid online DnD group during the start of Covid. There were 2 campaigns running simultaneously DMed by Enabler and his wife (who is really sweet and not the problem.) Deren started a free Phandelver game, then eventually Manipulator who was the director of the group started a campaign as well. Most of the cast played in all 4 games, but I couldn’t join Deren’s because of scheduling. Most of the drama happened in the campaign ran by Enabler which I’ll call the A-Men.
Cast:
Luno - a human Twilight Cleric. Cool dude.
Corgi - Didn’t play with the A-Men, but played a dwarf Battle Smith in the campaign parallel to ours. Wife to Luno irl. Cool lady.
Deren - half-elf Grave Cleric. Also cool dude.
Me - played a goliath Tempest Cleric
Dick - A perpetually drunk, arrogant asswipe. Played a warforged artificer.
Enabler - DM for the A-Men.
Manipulator - The main directoowner of the paid group.
Things started out nice in Enabler’s campaign, Luno, Deren, and I became fast friends and loved roleplaying with each other. But pretty soon the difficulty of combat started getting very difficult, and Enabler was forcing us to fight in encounters that would’ve been balanced for a party more than triple our level. As in, we as a level 2 party managed to take on an orc war chief, 2 ogres, an Eye of Gruumsh, and 5 or so orcs all in a cramped basement. The only way we were able to not die was by the 3 clerics spamming Healing Word on each other like whack-a-mole. This campaign and the group as a whole was marketed as “D&D for Beginners,” and we were all new to the game. At the time I didn’t realize how absurd the encounters were, I just thought it was my fault for being bad at the game. I don’t know why, but Enabler really wanted to kill all our characters… except for Dick’s.
Let me just get this out of the way first: Dick, was a dick. He would come to sessions sloshed, and continue drinking all game. He tried to get two different parties TPK’ed for no reason. He’d spout a bunch of racist and homophobic “jokes” that were very clearly not jokes. Oh, and he cheated, like, a lot. None of us liked him, but Enabler treated him like a golden child. None of us know why. He was showered with magical items and thousands of more gold than any of the rest of us. He was allowed to use busted homebrew none of the rest of us were. And most infuriatingly, he was allowed to cheat, more or less in the open. He’d fudge dice, even in DnD Beyond where his rolls were recorded. Hi warforged had higher health and stats than anyone, was allowed to use both a shield and a 2-handed rifle simultaneously, had more infusions than was allowed, and “mixed up” the loading and reloading properties between Eberron’s guns and Critical Role’s Bad News so he was allowed to do about 30 damage per turn, while the rest of us were doing about 5. Again, since all of us were new, we didn’t realize the blatant cheating till months later, and thought we just had to git gud.
Weirdly enough, Enabler never seemed to target Dick with his monsters. Couldn’t afford to risk scratching his favorite player’s gold-plated ass, certainly not! But for whatever reason my characters especially drew the Enabler’s ire. My cleric had chainmail and a shield so she was pretty tanky, and I guess he didn’t like that? During the basement orc fight he complained that he couldn’t put her down. I thought he was joking at the time, but looking back… yeah he wasn’t. Eventually I got tired of spending 3-4 hours unconscious so I took a level in Fighter to gain the Defense style for +1 AC. I was not hit by a single attack for the rest of the campaign. Everywhere the party went, regardless of the setting or context, every time we rolled initiative a mass of enemy clerics would spawn in and pelt me with 4-6 Sacred Flames and down my character within the first round or so. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. In a wizard’s tower? Clerics. Robbing a vault? Cleric are sitting in the vault. Keep in mind that Dick’s AC has been about 25 through all this because shenanigans.
Turns out Enabler was an asshole and a misogynist in his own right. He completely disregarded all female players in either his or his wife’s campaign (they were basically the same campaign, with the same plot and setting). Rarely responded to questions about the rules from me, and never bothered to send Corgi (who was playing a dwarf) his homebrew dwarf lore, even though the whole setting revolved around dwarves. Corgi found out about the dwarf lore through Luno. He asked me to write the worldbuilding for the goliaths, which I was happy to do. I researched the Poetic and Prose Eddas to make a culture based off the Jotunn, sent it to him, and he approved it. Wan’t till months later that I learned he scrapped the whole thing. Also, he rewrote my character’s backstory and never even bothered to tell me until (again) months later, in the middle of a session. I was the only girl in the A-Men. Shocker.
There were also only 2 friendly female NPCs the entire campaign, one of which was unconscious basically the whole time we knew her. But all those clerics we were mowing down? All Lolth cultists. Same goes for literally any other enemy spellcasters throughout the campaign (except for any Intelligence casters, those were men, of course.) Oh yeah, and he also made a human trafficking ring, just for my character! Basically he wanted the party to sell my character into slavery in order to progress the plot. Fun. Thankfully they didn’t do that (absolute Chads). This wasn’t in the other version of the campaign, of course.
Things finally ended when Dick tried to TPK the party again, and Enabler took the opportunity to try and kill the party once and for all. He triggered all encounters in the entire dungeon at once while our party was stuck in a pair of long hallways. My character was downed within the first round as usual from 6 Sacred Flames, got most of the party low with about 4 groups of 3-6 enemies each, then had the pair of bosses cast cloudkill and insect plague in the same area at the same time, then summoned a Barlgura. Despite Dick’s protests, the rest of the party drug my unconscious character out of the spell blender, turned around, and left the dungeon.
A few days after the session we got together and I posted a message on the group’s Discord detailing Dick’s cheating, and that I didn’t want to play with him anymore. I didn’t even mention my personal gripes with Enabler. Immediately I get a message from Manipulator, asking me to jump into a voice call with him and Enabler. Alarm bells start ringing in the back of my head, and ask if the other players can join as well. Enabler disappeared, and wouldn’t talk unless I was alone. Of course, a few days later when we did all get together to talk over voice chat, I was the problem player. Manipulator scolded me for not being communicative with Enabler. Luno immediately yelled “Bullshit!” Reminder, Enabler ignored all my messages and wouldn’t talk with women in the group. Luno, Corgi, and Deren all stood up for me (again, absolute Chads.) And Luno is a pretty quiet guy, and that was the only time I’ve ever heard him yell. There was a lot more going on with Manipulator, he sold us fake stickers, tried to get Corgi and Luno to work for him for free, and was a nightmare DM all on his own, but that’s a story for another time.
We all jumped ship after that, and I hear things got pretty nasty on the VC after I left. Apparently we were the first of several mass exoduses out of that group. Now we have our own free group and play often. Since then Corgi and Luno more or less adopted me as part of their family. We spend holidays together, they attended my college graduation, the whole nine yards. The lot are the sweetest people you could meet. Happy ending!

I've been playing red dead redemption 2 nearly all day for the past week because it makes me forget about what's going on in my life right now. this morning, as usual I started the game only to find out that the save file has been deleted, I will probably play through the story again but what angers me the most is the items that took me nearly 30 hours of playing to get such as the best satchel, all trinkets and talismans, all 24 gold bars, my white Arabian horse, lvl 8 stamina health and dead eye ... ALL GONE.
I know this isn't a major issue but I needed to get it out, I love this video game so much its like a therapy session for me and now all my grind is gone just like that I feel cheated on.

Lately I wanted to finaly play Pokemon Gold emulator on my phone, but to spice it up a little I wanted to make it a bit more difficult and interesting for myself, so I'm gonna try to make it into a modified Hardcore Randomizer Nuzlocke! Sadly, since I don't know how to actually randomize a game, I'm gonna try to achieve a similar outcome with cheats and a random number generator site.
I would like to ask for opinion and advice regarding stuff like if my rules are resonable for Pokemon Gold and won't go against the way progression, mechanics and locations are structured in this game, or if the way I want to handle item and trade evolutions sounds balanced.
So far the rules of the playthrough include:

1. Basic nuzlocke rules.
   
2. No use of items in trainer battles, but allowed in pokemon encounters.
   
3. Level caps set to next gym leader's ace or the third elite four member's ace.
   
4. The number of pokemon you can have in the gym is restricted to the number of pokemon the gym leader uses. The levels of your pokemon as you enter the gym should mirror the gym leader (e.g. you can only take 2 pokemon to Violet City gym, one at level 7, one at level 9). Pokemon are allowed to level up past the level cap in the gym itself.
   
5. Pokemon encounters are chosen via numbers generated from 1 to 117, which correspond to a base form of every pokemon line excluding legendaries. The number is generated as soon as you have your first normal wild encounter in the location. Then you must encounter the randomized pokemon of the same level as the wild encounter. The pokemon encountered might be evolved if the level of the encounter allows for it. That includes trade evos, but not stone evos (but I'm not sure about that rule).
   
6. When facing a static Legendary, generate 3 numbers and choose one of them, then proceed with the encounter against the randomized pokemon in place of the legendary.
   
7. No fishing encounters in places, where no other way of encounter is possible.
   
8. You can't leave a location until you finish it, after which you unlock it and can explore freely. To finish a location, you have to either:
   
9. get to another entrance to the location that leads to a town or a place with a pokecenter (e.g. if you enter route 30 from Cherrygrove City, you would have to cross route 31 and get to Violet City to finish the location. After that you can enter and exit the routes to heal or buy items and reenter the routes 30 and 31).
   

• Beat the boss of the location or finish a story beat found there (e.g. to leave a gym you must fight the gym leader, or to leave the Sprout Tower you have to face sage Li).
  
• If the location has no story beats or doesn't lead to to another location (like early game Dark Cave) it's considered as unlocked you can exit and reenter it freely
  

Also, since trade evolutions are normally impossible and evolution stones are very hard to get in Johto, I thought about making these pokemon evolve at certain levels instead. It would go like this: - Jigglypuff and Sunkern evolve at lv20 - Pokemon with one stage that evolve via evolution stones evolve at lv28 - Pokemon with two stages that evolve via evolution stones evolve at lv34 - Pokemon that evolve via trade with a hold item evolve at lv34 while holding the needed item - Pokemon that evolve via trade without an item do so at lv42
I'm not sure if these levels are too high or too low, since the entire Johto region operates on low levels and I want to make use of these evolutions, but I don't want them to be broken :P
What do you all think about this set of rules? Does it sound reasonably hard but fun? Do you have any ideas for improvement? Would love some feedback!
Thank you for reading, have a good day!

The number is generated as soon as you have your first normal wild encounter in the location. Then you must encounter the randomized pokemon of the same level as the wild encounter. The pokemon encountered might be evolved if the level of the encounter allows for it. That includes trade evos, but not stone evos (but I'm not sure about that rule).
   
6. When facing a static Legendary, generate 3 numbers and choose one of them, then proceed with the encounter against the randomized pokemon in place of the legendary.
   
7. No fishing encounters in places, where no other way of encounter is possible.
   
8. You can't leave a location until you finish it, after which you unlock it and can explore freely. To finish a location, you have to either:
   
9. get to another entrance to the location that leads to a town or a place with a pokecenter (e.g. if you enter route 30 from Cherrygrove City, you would have to cross route 31 and get to Violet City to finish the location. After that you can enter and exit the routes to heal or buy items and reenter the routes 30 and 31).
   

• Beat the boss of the location or finish a story beat found there (e.g. to leave a gym you must fight the gym leader, or to leave the Sprout Tower you have to face sage Li).
  
• If the location has no story beats or doesn't lead to to another location (like early game Dark Cave) it's considered as unlocked you can exit and reenter it freely
  

Also, since trade evolutions are normally impossible and evolution stones are very hard to get in Johto, I thought about making these pokemon evolve at certain levels instead. It would go like this: - Jigglypuff and Sunkern evolve at lv20 - Pokemon with one stage that evolve via evolution stones evolve at lv28 - Pokemon with two stages that evolve via evolution stones evolve at lv34 - Pokemon that evolve via trade with a hold item evolve at lv34 while holding the needed item - Pokemon that evolve via trade without an item do so at lv42
I'm not sure if these levels are too high or too low, since the entire Johto region operates on low levels and I want to make use of these evolutions, but I don't want them to be broken :P
What do you all think about this set of rules? Does it sound reasonably hard but fun? Do you have any ideas for improvement? Would love some feedback!
Thank you for reading, have a good day!

This took me a while getting my shit together. Here’s some tips that I wish I knew earlier to survive assignment madness.

• Study 1.5 - 2 hours per day,

I know it’s hard for the procrastination people, but hear me out. Don’t force yourself to spend hours, days n nights to study (if you don’t want to). It doesn’t bring any good results.
Well, you can spend hours hanging out and doing things you like, then paying attention and working on your assignments around 1.5 - 2hrs.
This will help you make a consistent progress, avoid last-minute stress: start acknowledging the progress, stay consistent

• Utilize AI tools:

AI tools won’t disappoint you if you use it wisely, don’t abuse it. Just like you’re using Google.
Lots of AI tools out there are really outstanding, serving a specific demand for you and enhance your study performance. Lemme give you some examples. Here's a list that you can:

• Grammarly to fix your dumb text
• Notion to arrange your timetable, take note
• Miro, Figma to mindmap, brainstorm
• Doctopus to read and analyze your document, textbook, research papers
• Chatgpt, Gemini to answer everything, be your virtual assistant (don't forget to double check the info)

I don't think using AI is cheating if you know how to use and take its advantages to boost your productivity. AI Tools prolly help me enhance critical thinking skill and navigate through all my tasks and projects.

• Seek outside support:

Old but gold: reaching out to classmates for study sessions, scheduling meeting with your professor for clarification, and utilize other available resources like tutoring centers at school.
Collaborating with others will motivate you and help you gain fresh perspectives, new ideas and valuable insights. Don’t hesitate to ask for help!!!

• Breakdown assignments and achieve it one by one:

Too tired after looking at the assignment requirements, Ikr. Don’t jump into it too fast, wait for it…
What we can do is to break it down into a to-do list. This helps you avoid overwhelmed feeling, make your assignments more manageable.

• Tackle the hard work first:

It's time to tackle the hard work head-on. Instead of procrastinating and putting off the most challenging parts of the assignment, tackle them first while your energy and focus are at their peak.
Once the toughest parts are out of the way, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment and motivation to tackle the easier tasks that follow.

I saw this guy Andrew14001617. He can clearly see where I am. 11/1 being a copper beating platinum and gold.

Hi, so, kind of a weird thing happening to me. I'll preface by saying that I've used cheat engine three times, one for gold, one because I had unknowingly missed the window to romance a certain character and I didn't want to replay an entire playthrough just for that romance, and one because I had missed a weapon in a previous act that I wanted to get. I'm saying this just in case it's the cause of my issue:
So, here's my issue. Though I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but I'm in act 3, just got ambushed by the fake harpers during the High Harper mission with Jaheira. I killed them and went to camp to level up my characters. As soon as I invited Jaheira, which she accepted, as usual, by taking another character's place, and then went to another character to invite, thinking he was going to take the place of someone else, instead of this happening, he was added to my roster. Even weirder, I was able to invite ALL of my companions to my party. I should mention that I managed, without cheating, to get all possible companions up to Jaheira and Halsin at that point, that includes having Wyll, Karlach and Minthara in the camp as well, using the "knocking Minthara out and vouching for her in Moonrise Tower" method.
The thing is though, the game doesn't seem to crash, and hasn't shown me any major glitch that would betray any kind of broken code or anything. It's just as perfectly playable as always, with the caveat that now, I have a monster army of 9 terrifyingly powerful and reliably angry machines of death absolutely curbstomping everything. And everywhere I look, nobody has ever complained about that bug, so I have to wonder if it's a feature?
