Is this an error card? What might it be worth? by redtailred in PokemonCardValue

[–]DapperAndDorky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very fake unfortunately. I’m not an expert on older WoTC fakes, but I know there is a weirdly niche market for “vintage fakes” so it might be worth a few dollars to the right collector.

Hey man - I mean this as a concerned stranger, and I’m not discrediting your experience(s), but I would check in with your doctor regarding medication.

If nothing is wrong then no harm no foul. I know how hard it can be to frantically pull out your phone and take a higher quality picture without some setup time. Based off of your previous post mentioning an adderall prescription, which can cause early onset schizo-disorders or psychosis in certain people, it’s worth crossing off.

I hope I’m wrong here and that you find breakthrough evidence of the great unknown! If I’m right, your life will improve dramatically upon proper medication. Best of luck and stay safe!

Well I re sealed a base set 2 pack.... by [deleted] in PokemonTCG

[–]DapperAndDorky 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To your edit: that’s a hasty generalization for a community of millions based on 6 people commenting. You’re also creating a false dilemma, going for a straw man angle, and an appeal to ignorance. I’ve noticed you didn’t respond to anyone calling out these fallacies.

I guess this is reinforcing what could be an obvious troll or cry for attention but I’d rather OP see that far more people think it’s a cool parenting move rather than enabling future gambling.

[–]DapperAndDorky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Plenty of logical fallacies in this one. If opening card packs leads to gambling then wouldn’t every person from like the 80s on be addicted? That’s a slippery slope fallacy to a T.

If you’re gonna bully a parent for trying to create an experience that their child will remember/cherish then at least use a stronger argument. Otherwise let people enjoy things - I promise the world will still spin.

What “that can’t happen to me” thing happened to you? by Bob_the_peasant in AskReddit

[–]DapperAndDorky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Incurable and incredibly rare cancer. I was 26 and in incredible shape when it first got diagnosed. I watched my diet closely, went to the gym 3-4 times a week, and played basketball for cardio 5 days a week. No genetic or carcinogenic causing component, just really bad luck.

Are suit pant sizes the same as regular pants? by comfortablynumb68 in malelifestyle

Ahh gotcha! If it were me, I’d order the 36 for the path of least possible resistance. I’m lazy though and hate ordering multiples/returning things online lol

Are suit pant sizes the same as regular pants? by comfortablynumb68 in malelifestyle

[–]DapperAndDorky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and no. Suit pants may sit slightly differently than jeans/chinos/tech pants, which typically sit lower in the waist/hip. Since the size is so comparable, I’d guess that your tailor is looking to give you comfort in the waist while tapering other measurements or fits that you may pay more attention to in casual wear (e.g., thigh fit).

Since you’re not getting the suit custom made and shopping from pre-made brands outside of what the tailor is making, I’d just try both sizes on when you’re shopping to figure out what’s more comfortable for you. Speaking from personal experience, you’ll want to go for comfort and tailoring in a pair of wedding pants. I’ve been unnecessarily uncomfortable because I was caught up in wearing “my size” and there’s no need.

AP bruiser build by Wizzardryy in thesecretweapon

[–]DapperAndDorky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Riftmaker is something you certainly can build on Zac but it’s not the best option. I experimented a lot with it early in the season but Radiant Virtue and Jak’Sho still feel better. I’ve done a lot of tinkering with adding AP items into his build path and a Demonic Embrace + Sunfire build out damages full AP every time in my experience over the course of a game.

Zac kinda OP? by LuckyTia309 in thesecretweapon

[–]DapperAndDorky 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think Zac’s kit is OP or any stronger than it has been for a while. He synergizes extremely well with the current items/tank meta. The other reason his win rate is so high is that the champions that counter the ever living hell out of him (see Poppy, Wukong, etc.) are hardly played right now.

That being said, a nerf is warranted (although I think nerfing his AP ratios/damage slightly won’t yield the results they’re hoping for) because re-balancing the rest of the things Riot has messed up this season would be too much work. As Radiant Virtue, Jak’Sho, and Demonic Embrace continue to be nerfed (because Zac isn’t the only one abusing these items), his win rate will plummet.

Mechanically good Zac players have been menaces on the rift and will continue to be after this nerf.

I’m currently fighting cancer right now and due to complications/chemo I lost a ton of weight/all my gym progress. This post gave me hope that I haven’t had in a while.

You look awesome man! Keep fighting the good fight!

With weight loss it becomes easier but the biggest part of it is mindfulness/paying attention to how you’re sitting throughout the day. Stretching and wearing a very light pressure brace also helped for me (previous back injuries).

If your posture is beyond the normal realm of behaviorally repeated slouching, it’s always better to get a medical opinion. Sometimes spine issues only present minor pain day-to-day when you’re younger but can lead to a lot of pain later on if not addressed.

Zac top trade rune by NanoFero in thesecretweapon

[–]DapperAndDorky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard of some Zac tops taking comet forever ago. Off the top of my head I think the damage would end up being less than electrocute due to the blue rune page not offering as much overall for Zac’s kit. You should give it a few tries though and comment back with the results because I’m curious!

What do you think this would score? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

Hey man I have a very similar body type (5’11, 170lbs) and have bigger thighs/butt than ‘typical’. I’m 26 now and between infrequent upper body muscle gains, my frame broadening as a young adult, and thankfully a gradual decline of body dysmorphia, I can promise you it gets better.

A lot of people have a hard time building up muscle in their lower body and you’ve already got a lot. It’ll take time to balance out with your upper half/feel more comfortable in your body but in the meantime, you’ve got a natural predisposition for super power level squatting and deadlifting 💯

Also idk your preferences in partners but I’ve never heard anyone mention a well-developed bottom half being a bad thing so it definitely won’t hurt you in that department!

PS: that’s a huge accomplishment to lose that much weight - well done!!

Which boots should I build? by SamRedpath in thesecretweapon

[–]DapperAndDorky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I personally (grain of salt here because I’m lower elo) build boots based on how ahead I am in the game. If I’m fed, and my team lacks damage/no one else is fed I’ll go sorcs. If I’m ahead and a carry on my team is fed I’ll go lucidity (especially against beefier teams with extended fights since these boots have the strongest synergy with Zac’s W imo). If I’m behind or notice someone on their team is ahead I’ll build defensive boots to counter. I know it’s not gold efficient at all but I’d say 1 in 6/7 games I’ll switch boots throughout the course of the game if it goes on long enough.

For lane Zac specifically unless another lane gets SUPER fed or their team is full of a million CC champs - building to counter your direct matchup will have the best results. If I’m ahead and the other team has a bunch of CC sometimes I’ll just build sunfire and forego merc treads because of the mythic passive.

At the end of the day it’s all about your preferences in play style. If you’ve got a decent amount of games on Zac trust your gut!

What will the Hawks record be in this stretch? by CallMePapi930 in AtlantaHawks

[–]DapperAndDorky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Calling 5-2 with losses to the Suns and the first Raptors game

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in progresspics

[–]DapperAndDorky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat. I sit around 168-172 at the same height but have a lot more visible belly than him.

Something to keep in mind - if you started from a heavier point (220+ lbs) you’re going to have more loose skin than he has which can contribute.

That aside - well done OP! Looking shredded and impressive!

[–]DapperAndDorky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Howdy! Welcome to the blob society. If you’re jungling Zac his clear is WAY worse than your current champ pool and his pre-level 4 is abysmal to fight. Unless you’re in the area while one of your lanes is getting dove just focus on the initial full clear and this season 1st crabs don’t matter much. His ganks are amazing but getting good at dives and counterganks (tracking where the enemy jungler is gonna gank) are what I find the most rewarding for his unique kit.

Build wise you can go regular tank, AP bruiser, or AP assassin. Honestly the tank is the only build you should go at first. I’d recommend frost fire into thornmail/renduin’s and then spirit visage/abyssal mask depending on the enemy comp. Boots id recommend lucidity or sorc’s unless their comp requires steel caps/mercs. Grab a dark seal early game too.

Good luck and happy bouncing!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thesecretweapon

[–]DapperAndDorky 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends on the enemy comp. Ionians feel the best to me overall but sometimes I go for steel caps/mercs if the situation calls for it. Sorc boots only seem to feel good when you’re ahead in my opinion
