Palworld - Everything you have ever wanted from a Pokemon game

Also a side note: sprinting Jetdragon zooms at around 135 km/h or 84 miles per hour. I heard that his base sprint speed reaches the cap, so any passives that make him faster do him basically no favors.

Goddammit, seriously? I JUST came here to brag about finally getting a Jetragon with all 4 speed passives.

It's just what I heard. Grab a stopwatch and see how quickly you can cover the distance of 300m. I think mine did it in around 7.82 seconds, and he only had Runner on board.
 
Just spent 20 minutes whittling down Frostallion and I think it's time to start diving dungeons for better gear and finally build a rocket launcher because goddamn that was exhausting.

First time I came close to slamming my fist on the keyboard not because of something the game did, but because of something my PC did, i.e. just fucking power off because WINBLOWS UPDATES LOL. After waiting out 15 minutes of "preparing you're are pee see don't turn off puter" I relaunched the game to find my second save gone. 15 more minutes later I was back in because PP are gods and Palworld creates backups like every 5 minutes and stores around 20 of them, so there's no need to panic or do anything manually. Would have been pissed if it was toast permanently, because I managed to stumble across the mythical Mammorest vs Mammorest at level 10, waited for one to be at critical HP, and started spamming balls.

After capturing it I realized that level sync does not affect Pal health, so I had this 3k hp monstrous tank casually plowing through everything and blocking every shot.

I just caught this guy by throwing ultra balls at its back and flying away like a coward. It only took 13 balls, the back bonus might be a bit much. I tried fighting him, but my first shot did 1 damage, so I decided against it. His brother unfortunately was not caught with the other 32 balls I had.

Got all of the journals and then felt like I needed a replay, so I wound up a new world which I'm going to do something interesting with. Haven't really decided what though

I think the displayed rate is lower than the true rate.
Really, this is the most efficient way to catch the legendries. I think a better balance would be a higher rate when you get them to low health

I really want to do a humans only run some time, but I doubt I'd get to it soon, and would want a mod to up the capture rate.

I don't know how Nuzlock works, but since it's supposedly the one true way to play pokemon, maybe try that?

I'm currently thinking of really limiting my available Pals for combat and not flying around everywhere. The game looks so different from the ground. My first playthrough I didn't really go past the Chillet boss before I got a bird and just flew everywhere.

Pokemon Nuzlocke, if I'm remembering right, is that you can only catch the first Pokemon encountered in each zone and if a Pokemon faints, you release it. I'm not sure how it translates to Palworld, but limitations like that just make me grind and be overly cautious.

I started a humans only world after seeing a content creator do it. Your damage is going to suck until you get a grenadier, whose grenade damage is turned into punch damage. Then grab a Syndicate Elite with a rocket launcher from the desert and a black marketer(20k starting health pool at lvl 40) and start condensing/pal spiriting up. It is a VERY long grind though.

Bushi will be your main source of ingots, using gravity to kill them on the volcano area.

I guess I don't understand the problem because i've been able to indefinitely reschedule updates all the time on W10. Might want to see if it lets you do that, I guess.

I tried. Did all the disabling/delaying shit, but there is no stopping the update after the PC basically shuts off completely, even if I disconnect the ethernet cable.

That's because of an ancient limitation they still haven't fixed (and probably can't without breaking a lot of shit that depends on the old behavior) in NTFS.

On real filesystems (namely everything in Unix and Linux from like the 1970's on), you can safely replace a file with a new one (with the same name) even if it's being held open already -- you unlink ("delete") the old file (or rename it), but the filesystem won't actually delete it until whatever's got it open lets go of it. In the meantime, since the name is unlinked from the filesystem, you're free to put another file there with the same name with new data and it won't change what the existing process sees.

This allows some very useful techniques, like a process opening a temporary file and then immediately unlinking it while it's still open, so no other process can even *see* it, much less poke around in it. The temp file is still there (and perfectly usable by the owning process), but it's inaccessible to the world. This also lets you replace a running executable seemingly in-place without screwing up the older version that's still running.

On NTFS, you aren't allowed to replace a file if it's open by any process whatsoever, because NTFS is stupid. Not even the kernel can do it. Since Windows updates almost always need to make changes to system files that are already open for one purpose or another, this means updates have to be installed in stages.

That's why "we're installing updates, don't turn off your computer" usually only goes to 30% when it pops up during shutdown or restart -- it's just staging the updates and not actually applying them yet. Typically on first reboot the regular kernel and update mechanisms can finish the update -- it'll go from 30% to 100% and let you log in as usual. For "deep" updates that require replacing stuff like the kernel, HAL, core drivers or the update installer, there's a second reboot in the cycle to allow those updates to happen (the first reboot re-jiggers the boot loader to load the new kernel on the second reboot, which then goes back and removes the old kernel again).

TL;DR: Windows sucks, and can't delete or replace files for any reason if they're open (i.e. programs, library files, Word documents being edited, etc.), so it has to "stage" updates to apply during restarts before the files being replaced get opened again by regular operations. The updater has to "get there first," and the only way to do that is to sneak in at boot-time. Kernel and updater updates require two reboots, because Microsoft.
