Pokemon Go Max Battle Tips

I was a bit skeptical on Max Battles at first, but I find now, I really like them. They feel like raids with better mechanics, and they are just more interactive than just, throwing a ball. The design also feels right enough that the proper team make up can seriously make or break a victory or a loss, unlike Raids, where you are effectively just, competing against the clock. I have managed to do enough of these now I feel like it may be worth throwing out some general tips I have collected. Its not always guaranteed, but it helps.…

Tanking in Pokemon Go For Fun and Profit

So, I am.not a fan of PVP in Pokemon Go, better known as Battle League. Like, at all. However, there is a goofy Luchador Pikachu, locked behind Battle League, that I am a fan of. Apparently, the current season is some sort of special truncated season, which means that in order to get Luchador Pikachu, you only need to get to Rank 20, and not Rank 25. As far as I can tell, this means getting 107 Wins. Also, on top of that, it also means getting 3 wins out of 5 during one round, to unlock the Pikachu itself.…

Fix For American Truck Simulator Not Closing in Steam

I just want to throw out a fix I found for a problem with American Truck Simulator not closing properly. Its honestly stupid annoying because its been screwing up my Steam play time numbers, which I kind of really hate.  Anyway, I found what seems to be an effective fix, though I'm not exactly sure why, I have some theories. PS, I had the same issue in Euro Truck Simulator 2 and this fixed it there as well. I'm not sure where the file is in other operating systems, but at least for Windows, you'll wan to open the Documents…

Fortnite Chapter 7 Season 1

In  classic fashion, I've done my 1 month subscription to Fortnite Crew.  That is, it ends on the 27th,, and I'll maybe resubscribe in  January sometime for another month.  Generally speaking, this works out to a crazy good value.  I'd already unlocked the previous pass items for The Simpsons and the weird Fortnite themed Music pass.  So I instantly unlock all of that, and everything rolls over the next day, and I get a month to unlock the next batch, which I've mostly done. I thought it might be fun to run through what's going on this round.  Its also…

Halloween in Truck Simulator

I have been kind of wanting an excuse to go back to American Truck Simulator recently and they have a new little Halloween event going on, so it seemed like a good excuse. I think it ends November 15th. I meed to keep an eye out for the next sale on maps, because Illinois comes soon, and I need at least Wyoming and St Louis to make that work, since I have Colorado. The event is running in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2. Rewards work in both games. I have run the missions in both games.…
