Q: What is the maximum number of items I can receive from a Pokestop?

While walking around a good bit yesterday, I hit a good amount of Pokestops. A good majority of the time, I received anywhere between 2 - 5 items from the Pokestop. After a few hours, I assumed that 5 was the cap. However there was an instance where a received 8 items from the Pokestop. What is ...

Q: Pokemon Go crashes after pressing OK on safety pop-up

Basically the title. When it loads, a safety message pops up, then when I tap OK it pauses for 5 seconds, then it crashes back to homescreen. I've tried a lot of things, I've reinstalled multiple times. I'm using the Sony Xperia E1. I'm starting to believe that I need a better phone because it...

How are people cp1000+ already

b_jonas

Wow half of the latest questions are Pokemon Go

arda

I only have cp 200

Arperum

@arda Loads of time in a city with pokemon all over the place and stops and gyms everywhere.

Kevin van der Velden

13:09

How many idiots have been asking us to release pokemon go in other countries? ><

Unionhawk

I've got 500 on one

stardust is my main limiting factor

it's awful

I hate it

StrixVaria

I have no clue how to read the map.

Kevin van der Velden

I've got 300 max

StrixVaria

I went for a walk last night and any pokemon I found was sheer coincidence.

There's like a list of nearby pokemon but no indication of where it is except some awful "hot/cold" mechanic once you get really close.

With the number of footprint thingies.

Kevin van der Velden

Same, is there even anything other then "More footsteps = more chance of spawning"?

StrixVaria

13:12

I thought more footsteps = further away.

Unionhawk

no, more footsteps is "cold"

Kevin van der Velden

What? Oh

StrixVaria

Once you get fewer footsteps, then you're almost on top of the pokemon.

Kevin van der Velden

Well that's good to know

StrixVaria

But if you have 3 footsteps, which is a huge range, then there's like no indication of which way to walk.

Kevin van der Velden

13:12

It's such a well explained game

5pike

@Arperum He can have mountain goat or cow. I'm keeping the kangaroo.

Arperum

Also: once you have a pokemon on three footsteps it barely ever goes away, even if you walk out of detection range.

Unionhawk

Yeah, all you have is "it's within 200 meters"

Pokémon GO Global Rollout To Resume In The Next Few Days, Trading Element Coming Later

Arperum

SO rebooting the app clears out old entries.

StrixVaria

13:14

When I'm standing still my avatar mostly faces in 1 direction and occasionally glances in other directions, so at first I thought maybe it was looking towards the pokemon I picked.

Unionhawk

nope

StrixVaria

The more I tried to make sense of that, though, the clearer it became that it was either meaningless or meant something else.

Arperum

@Wipqozn Those pokemon have levels.

StrixVaria

The closest gym to my house is currently led by an Exeggutor.

I want an Exeggutor.

Welp, just opened the app in Manhattan, and it seems like any time I spend playing at home is a complete waste compared to here.

There are like 2 Pokestops per block.

I didn't even have to move from my desk to catch a Rattata.

fuck. I just got a mail that someone in romania tried to log into my steam account.

Unionhawk

I need to do a total password review

Arperum

That's very not good.

@Unionhawk Yes. Me too.

Kevin van der Velden

@Lazers2.0 2 whole rams :o

Arperum

Fuuu. so now I have to wait until I'm home to get those things fixed.

Kevin van der Velden

@StrixVaria there's around 15 or so pokestops near me

In a kilometer and a half of walking or so

StrixVaria

13:22

There's a Pokemon Gym literally 30 feet from my desk.

My coworker just walked over, took the gym, and walked back to his desk.

Unionhawk

I don't have any that close

I should go to the spot that has a dozen pokestops in one spot for pokeballs and stuff

Kevin van der Velden

There's one the next building over but it's too high level

Arperum

@KevinvanderVelden team up with coworkers. You can attack at the same time.

Kevin van der Velden

Sure, assuming I had any coworkers who play the game

Wipqozn

I don't get mud hero

Arperum

13:33

@KevinvanderVelden Boooh

Wipqozn

why would you voluntarily run around in mud

Kevin van der Velden

@Arperum Hey do you have coworkers that play the game?

b_jonas

@Arperum But then you'd have to split the loot and XP!

Sterno

urdad runs around in the mud

Having a desk pokestop means you've got balls. Lots of balls.

Wipqozn

@Sterno Doubtful

Arperum

ugh wtf

okay how much longer should I wait until I chime in here on this dev

arda

All pokemon here are zubat

Wipqozn

he's been stuck on this thing all morning, and I paid a biut more attention when he asked if some code changes I made could be preventing his code from working, and I said no

arda

I caught over 100 and 70 is zubat

Wipqozn

suggested error logging, sid he was already in the proces of doing that

Sterno

fredley

13:37

@Sterno pls

Wipqozn

finally decided to take a look... he's got the topic wrong. "Localsports" vs "Local Sports".

fredley

This was not the intended consequence

Arperum

@arda I have catched about the same number of zubat as dratini. Which is to say one of each.

Wipqozn

I really hope he's doing no work over there, because I don't understand how your error logging wouldn't reveal that issue

Unionhawk

Most around here are damn birds and rats

so many pigeys and rattatas

b_jonas

13:41

@arda Can you trade with someone who wants Zubats?

Unionhawk

it's insane

Tim Stone

b_jonas

Like, in earlier games too.

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley damnit I read the first few comments and now I want to buy a popup toaster

user15026

I am the opposite, I find myself in need of a toaster oven

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden I find it so odd when people don't have them. They are a staple of every British kitchen

Kevin van der Velden

@fredley I've lived on my own for 1.5 years

I haven't bought one yet

fredley

@KevinvanderVelden This doubles the wat, since toast is a staple of single living

Kevin van der Velden

My parents have one though it was mostly used to heat pita bread

And after 23 June, the difference is unclear

user15026

I eat canned spaghetti (like alphaghetti and stuff) on toast, that's kinda the same?

fredley

@Unionhawk You should try it, preferably while drunk

@Ash Similar, probably makes you less gassy

Unionhawk

No because like I said, somebody invented pizza rolls

so

And also delivery pizza

Tim Stone

Bagel bites are better than pizza rolls

But yes, delivery pizza is far superior

Unionhawk

True

But

MadMAxJr

Pizza roll.... delivery?

Tim Stone

It's not even 10:00 and I'm already ready for lunch

fredley

@Sterno wat, we don't boil beef

we roast it, grill it, fry it, or stew it

Unionhawk

Boiled beef

Boiled beef is a traditional English dish which used to be eaten by working-class people in London; however, its popularity has decreased in recent years. Traditionally, cheaper cuts of meat were used, because boiling makes the meat more tender than roasting. It was usually cooked with onions and served with carrots and boiled potatoes. It was not uncommon for the beef to be salted in a brine for a few days, then soaked overnight to remove excess salt before it was boiled. In other parts of England cabbage replaced carrots. This dish gave rise to the old cockney song Boiled Beef and Carrots which...

Sterno

13:58

All the beef I had there was awful and tasted boiled. I just assumed no one could possibly have grilled it that badly

Unionhawk

> is a traditional English dish

Sterno

I like how the image is clearly not beef being boiled

fredley

> used to be eaten

Unionhawk

shh

At least you're capable of getting that right

fredley

@Sterno wat

@Sterno Oh you went to a terrible part of the country though? Pretty sure they voted for Brexit.

Tim Stone

14:00

@Sterno Because it used to be leather

Sterno

That is likely.

fredley

Come to proper UK next time (London)

Sterno

Actually, the company I was there for is probably leaving now.

StrixVaria

Honestly this "makes the meat more tender" aspect sounds like boiled beef is the way to go, if you have to eat beef.

Unionhawk

Boiled beef is an abomination

Sterno

14:01

It is possible to make an okay crockpot of beef.

But Steak ftw

Yes, it deserves a capital S

Unionhawk

yes

indeed

fredley

@Sterno Nobody disagrees with you, though a well-roasted joint is excellent.

Unionhawk

This is also true, except for @StrixVaria

StrixVaria

@fredley I hate steak.

fredley

@StrixVaria Isn't sous-vide basically the same principal?

StrixVaria

14:02

@fredley I have no idea what this means.

fredley

@StrixVaria :(

StrixVaria

I wish I didn't dislike steak, honestly.

fredley

Sous-vide

Sous-vide (/suːˈviːd/; French for "under vacuum") is a method of cooking in which food is sealed in airtight plastic bags then placed in a water bath or in a temperature-controlled steam environment for longer than normal cooking times (usually 1 to 6 hours, up to 48 or more in some select cases) at an accurately regulated temperature much lower than normally used for cooking, typically around 55 to 60 °C (131 to 140 °F) for meat and higher for vegetables. The intent is to cook the item evenly, ensuring that the inside is properly cooked without overcooking the outside, and retain moisture. �...

StrixVaria

Since I like burgers and cheesesteaks, which are the same meat but with wildly different textures.

fredley

@StrixVaria But the texture is so different at different levels of cooking

Kevin van der Velden

I am indeed considering getting a waterproof temperature probe, a water boiler and an arduino with a 220v relay

fredley

And perfectly cooked fillet steak has basically no texture at all

b_jonas

14:04

(if you're evil, you could say it's steak as drawn by a vegetarian artist)

StrixVaria

@fredley I've never had a homemade steak that had a palatable texture.

Fluttershy

I really don't understand why this has so many down votes. :/

StrixVaria

Once I was at a super duper fancy restaurant and my wife got steak and I tried it and it was good.

I don't know how it was cooked.

Kevin van der Velden

Steak at home is really hard

StrixVaria

Pretty much if there is any amount of chewiness at all, I'm out.

user15026

14:06

@Fluttershy probably because someone said it was unclear and then people hopped on that train and closed it and so on

Unionhawk

texture really comes down to cut

Cooking is always medium-rare or medium

arda

I can't eat steak with good texture

Well, according to Islam that is

There is a single helal way to cut. And the texture sucks.

Sterno

@Unionhawk Should always be. But so many people cooking at home do it well-done because BAD

Kevin van der Velden

Wait helal is also about how to cut it? I thought it was about how to kill the animal (inhumanly) and not eating pigs

StrixVaria

I would be willing to try various levels of cut or cooking time or whatever to find if there's a steak I consistently like, but I'm not willing to pay for all the steaks I don't eat as a result of the experiment.

Unionhawk

14:08

@Sterno always

anyone who does well-done is WRONG

Sterno

I found steak a lot harder to grill properly on a charcoal grill

Unionhawk

Yes

arda

@KevinvanderVelden you don't let other animals see it, you hold in a position, needs to be awake, you can't use electricity etc etc

Kevin van der Velden

Which is all about killing the thing right?

arda

So yeah, me living abroad would be me being vegetarian unfortunately

@KevinvanderVelden yes

Arperum

That is why I downvoted and closevoted it before.

The only good thing about Pokemon Go is that it encourages you to actually walk. I don't know why you'd want to bypass that.

A few weeks from now you'll be level 50 with all the Pokemon and bored as shit since there's really nothing else to do

Except, I guess, have them pointlessly fight.

If they ever fix the bug that makes them unkillable

Q: Pokemon basic moves: Higher damage strictly better?

Normal moves seem generally more damaging than types like electricity. Do "Thunder Shock" at 5 damage have any advantage over "Tackle" at 12? If the "Thunder Shock" would grant 2x damage against Water type, then it would still be 10 damage versus 12 of "Tackle"?

Victories are completely fleeting (in both games) and there's no real sense of progression except for leveling.

Or filling your collection

djsmiley2k

@Sterno THAT'S STIL MORE than ingres

sigh, cat has done something weird to repeat keys

Sterno

Just the collection part. Ingress had leveling

From what I understand, possibly slower leveling

Given I already met a level 31 guy

(unless the high end of the pokemon leveling slows way down)

djsmiley2k

14:40

;leveling in ingress was incredibly slow

arda

And 16 level cap

Sterno

Ingress also required a certain number of badges in addition to xp to level, and near the high end some badges required like a year of play time

Huge rate limiter. I don't know that Pokemon has that

Anyway, filling a collection is fun.

arda

Pokemon needs that

djsmiley2k

yey repeating keyskkkk

Sterno

But once you've got all or most of the pokemon and you're at level cap, all that's left is gym battling, which just seems super boring and also has no real reward if you've already got the stuff you want anyway

arda

You win if you have time

@KitZ.Fox Hi

Sterno

@djsmiley2k It depends. If the cheat essentially bypasses the only fun to be had, yeah. But if it's like "Man, I just want to annhilate everything and not worry about dying because that's what's fun for me, and I don't care about the story or gitting gud or whatever", cheats are fine

That's how my dad plays FPS games :P
