Daft

Edit: Actually hold that thought for a minute.

I am around with a +1. Not been on this week yet but I'm lvl 271. @Deathjam What level are you at? Could try it tonight potentially. Whatever is easy

Another two Entei raids. Threw 7 or 8 curling Excellent Balls across the both of them and the rest were Great (had a couple misses). Still no dice. This crap RNG luck is endlessly frustrating. I'm 13 for 2 on Entei now.

I'm 11 for 2 on Entei. He's a real shit. And these loot drops are Grade A balls.

I've not had any issue joining public raids tbh. But I'm in London which seems to have plenty of people raiding near central.

The capture rate on Entei is a fucking joke (emphasis on the 'fucking'). The first day I did six raids. I took my time. Was throwing pretty consistently. Finally on the last one, on a Curling ball that was neither 'Nice', 'Great' or 'Excellent' I managed to catch one with 15/15/15. And by that point my 12 Golden Razz Berries had become none, so he was caught on a budget Razz Berry. Yes, it was a perfect Entei. And to be honest, thank god I did because it's really let me experience a no-pressure involvement when I take part in them from now on. I did one yesterday, again no dice. But I'm now back from my 8th Entei raid. This time I used the set-circle trick. And it really worked. I got 14 balls to throw. Missed my first one (lol – still getting used to the distance and setting the circle). But every other throw was a Curling Great ball. Except one which was 'Excellent' and another which just rolled out of my had after some lag while spinning (anyone else experience this? Occasionally I get a touch of lag while casting my ball and it falls short, which is also annoying but this time it happened while I was spinning). Every ball was Razz Berried – because I'm out of Golden Razz Berries and lo and behold I received none again. It's kind of shitty. And it's compounded by the reworked – and fucking trite loot drops. In the past 8 raids I've only received 6 Golden Razz Berries, from one of the raids. I know the base rate is the same as Lugia but Lugia had a Psychic and Flying badge capture rate bonus to go with him (which are easy to get Gold badges in because of Natu pokemon everywhere). Entei is just fire and...well, I hardly ever see fire Pokemon to catch. So that's annoying, too.

Let's be honest, this is being made by Square. A few month after it's out it'll be available on everything, including mobile phones.

The in-game group-chat. Next time, if you go into 'social' in the game I think it'll show where we all are, but it's usually in group-chat.

Join chat next time!! I think I'll switch on insta-kill primary fire next time.

So, I've come far. I've doubled up on all my Legendary birds. In terms of IVs, it's a mixed bag; I have a Moltres with an IV of 91. Ace. Although it's move set is a bit poop (I can fix that eventually). An Articuno with an IV of 96, with a great move set. And then I have a couple IV 84 Zapdos, a third at 82. And some poop Lugias, one with a 77 IV and a poop moves set and another with an IV of 80 and a good move set. So I'm going to say I'm done with Articuno raids and I'm going to Prioritise Zapdos and Lugia.

Finaly caught a Lugia!! Got Zapdos last week and Moltres the week before. Just need to find Articuno. None of the Legendary Birds I got had especially good IVs, though Moltrese and Zapdos has the best movesets, but I'm still pretty pleased.

Took down a Lugia but didn't manage to get him even with a few Nice Curve Balls and a Gold Razz Berry. But the XP is dope so it's not all bad. Plus, meeting Raiders was a lot of fun.

I'd love to have a go at Lugia but I don't think – even if I did find a group – I'm especially well equipped to help take it down. My top 10 Pokemon are... Dragonite – CP2699 (Dragon Tail and Hurricane) Rhydon – CP2512 Blissey – CP2511 Vaporeon – CP 2375 Arcanine – CP2116 Moltres – CP1904 (Fire Spin and Overheat, awwww yisss!!) Politoed – CP1722 Kingdra – CP1659 Pinsir – CP1625 Flareon – CP1613 And like I said, I'm still a lowly lvl 26

GG And fuck Bastion

I CAUGHT A MOLTRES!!! My third ever Raid! What a rush. I used a Nana Berry because I read that the effects last longer than the initial throw, so thought I'd give it a go. Regretted the idea almost instantly when I realised I only had 7 balls. Missed with my first ball, then I did a curve ball, landed a 'NICE!' hit and... ...Shake... ...Shake... ...Shake... ...Nothing... MOLTRES GET!!! Over the moon. Never thought I'd even down one of these Legendaries, let along catch one. And I'm still a lowly lvl26.

By all accounts, Just Cause 3 still runs like a piece of shit, so this will be interesting. I've always wanted to play it so it suits me for a Plus game.

Okay, let me try and understand. You are saying that lower testosterone is leading men to be more feminine on a sociological and cultural level? If that's true, wouldn't the reverse be true to an extent – not that dressing as a woman causes lower testosterone – but with a community where acting effeminate is not abnormal, that there would be a notable increase in men with lower levels of testosterone? I dunno, I feel like I'm missing something here because it reads to me like you're saying sperm count, testosterone and masculinity have direct correlations. And that's a straw man argument about tomboys; you don't need to like sports to be a tomboy. And when did sport become a masculine trait? I don't really understand.

As an adonis, this describes me perfectly. Except for the 'easy to burn fat', that's just a calories in/out. I find your ideas...intriguing, but ultimately I don't buy it. If what you were saying was actually the case, I think we'd see more acute cases of lower testosterone in queer communities. Drag Queens would show lower levels (if I understand what you're saying). And they don't. And even outside of that segment, women who are 'tomboys' would show higher levels of testosterone. No?

So...if I have high levels of testosterone, how would you expect me to act?

How do you go about measuring masculinity?

Masc 4 masc.

Yes to all this and especially yes to the glowing lasso.

Thought I'd post this pretty neat reading of Wonder Woman. Trigger warning, it contains the word 'patriarchy'. How Wonder Woman Succeeds as a Feminist Film I think this is what really elevates Wonder Woman. And, because I've been thinking about Wondy and Spidey recently, why I found Homecoming entertaining but ultimately underwhelming; it lacks any kind of meaningful message.

Link Sounds....awesome.

Spider-Man was entertaining and stylish but it's pretty vapid on closer inspection. SPOILERS That sounds like a right slagging off. And it kind of is. But it is entertaining. Just as vapid as most the Disney Marvel movies...so...Well done Sony.
