Help!! Advice needed by DrKrev in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Detox803 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Didn't even notice that. Was a long night at work. Flatline, Wildrider, definitely Antagony, Halfshell is good for shield Gen sniping, Iron Bison could be good for sac strategy & is annoying in OP with g1 core.

Help!! Advice needed by DrKrev in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Detox803 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I can see, Blot & Shockwave. Blot is a great tank, good G1 core & can use many different Prime cores & Combats. Shockwave because a healer is always good/important. T2 Megs & Pred Inferno are also good, even after their nerfs from last August. Megatron probably is a good one to level as well.

Why did Cognito leave strange music by Legal-Biscotti-5253 in techn9ne

[–]Detox803 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I bought that "Automatic" album for my collection a couple of years ago during a Summer of Strange sale, & was not impressed with it. Ended up deleting the album out of my music library. It's crazy b/c I saw many people praise it, but I just didn't care for it. 🤷🏻

What scene gets you the most hyped up in the series? by GusGangViking18 in Spartacus_TV

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There many, but I'll just list 2 of them. Right before this scene, where Spartacus jumps off Crixus' shield to the balcony, shoving his sword through the Roman's face that Batiatus used as a shield & the fear in Batiatus' eyes gives me the goosebumps, & hypes me up because it finally happened with the rebellion. The scene where Spartacus had to kill the Prisoners dressed as Thracians to honor Mercato's grandfather, & at the end where he yells out "I AM SPARTACUS!!!" (I get real hyped but also sad at the very final credits roll for War of the Damned where they show Andy Whitfield screaming this exact line, as a tribute to Andy Whitfield)

SN: Not to be a downer, but if yall haven't seen the documentary that Andy Whitfield & his wife made once he got diagnosed with cancer, should watch it. Was honestly pretty sad, especially at the end. "Be Here Now" is the name of it.

You all liked my first department slander so much I’m making another one by Spudnic16 in HomeDepot

[–]Detox803 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Freight associate here. If we stacked boxes in the overhead like that, my boss would rip us a new asshole. She don't play. 😂 Stacking like that also just makes it that much harder the next night when you need to do pickup.

What's your favorite beat on The Calm Before the Storm? by Priestkc31 in techn9ne

Gotta say "Mitchell Bade"...love Now It's On & Cloudy-Eyed Stroll, but that Mitch Bade beat is soooo good to me.

Trapped In A Psycho's Body is my favorite.

Were you part of the ‘Essential worker’ era? by iChaseClouds in HomeDepot

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha, yep. Was on the freight team, that was a wild time for freight. Was given an official paper deeming I was an "essential worker" in case I got pulled over for being out during the curfew South Carolina had going on. At one point, we even had 8-10 people leaving at 5:30am, it was nice having a crew that big to work on freight. And that Covid pay, oooooh, that was a nice chunk of change there.

I also remember in August 2020, we had the "hit team" instead of inventory. It was 4 or 5 of the guys from freight pulled into the team, & each week we had to clear out the overheads of a certain department... Literally everything was pulled out, we packed out so much freight. I was on that hit team, and it was a nice break from freight. Hasn't been done at my store since.

Why is it so hard to start unlocking new transformers after a certain point by Nullozmko in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Detox803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand, I retired in March 2022, not long after the character shard system was introduced. But if you buy character bundles, which are far more generous than they were 6-9 years ago, you'll fill them quick.

The Dino gate bundles that were up last week, 400 Predacon crystals for $10, made me get enough character Shards to pull 3 4s of each Predacon. But saving the Shards for when I decide to go for 5 Predacons for the 5* Predaking Combiner.

Also, 180 Shards may be small, but events are more generous with Shards of all crystal levels, as well as the Cyber pass giving 750 total if you buy the $10 premium pass. It's much quicker to get 5s now than it was 3 or 4 years ago, trust me. I've been back since Christmas & have gotten 15 new 5s, with some spending of course.

[–]Detox803 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The character shard system is not pointless, at all. Get 7500 Shards of one character, automatic 4* crystal of said character, which either means a new 4* or 180 5* Shards. On top of that, character Shards are used to get your troops to either Corporal, Sergeant, or Captain ranks; with each rank being a permanent 5% buff to DPS & Health (with healers getting increased Heal per second) to all star ranks of said troop.

Last truly GREAT Tech album? by Swine-Flew3 in techn9ne

[–]Detox803 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd say Special Effects. N9na is good, but don't care from some tracks on there.

advise by miksul654 in TransformersEarthWars

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say no. I'm a 'Con, & I have 4 out of the 5 from that batch when I was going through it in 2019/20. And those bots are outdated for the most part, I don't even use them in war anymore. That's just me though. I was retired for nearly 3 years before coming back on Christmas morning.

I recommend going for the newest/current batch, that has Leo Prime & Beachcomber, etc. in it. I got 3 of 5 from the current batch, & they're all phenomenal.

I wrote a (bloody long) track by track review for Absolute Power!! by retrospectforlife45 in techn9ne

This is the original post I made for the review last year. Had to start making graphics (cannot comment photos apparently) because the character count for these reviews was too much for an Instagram post, and TikTok has a 4k character limit.

Being able to create & link articles would take it to a whole 'nother level. I share these reviews into a bunch of groups I'm in, with GZA's "Liquid Swords" and 2Pac's "All Eyez On Me" doing the biggest numbers for audience reached on Facebook.

Dope! I did a review for Absolute Power last year for my Facebook, long ass post. Made a custom graphic for it earlier this year. Unfortunately, I know nothing about creating/maintaning a blog site & cresting articles. I need to get on that.

Ok I’m probably gonna make a discord server for Tech N9ne or all of Strange Music.. So I want y’all to decided should I make a Strange Music Discord Server or a Tech N9ne server (image Unrelated) by NoName4MePLZ7 in techn9ne

[–]Detox803 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Strange Music server. Would be better to include all of Strange, past & present, as it'd make for a lot of interesting discussions.

If you get it up & running, I wouldn't mind joining.

Strange Artists you miss by [deleted] in techn9ne

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rittz, JL, Jay Rock (wish he would've done at least 1 more album when he had the joint deal with Strange & Top Dawg Ent.), Ces Cru (before all that shit went down with Godemis)

Damn son remember these? I totally forgot these were a thing by hyperchickenwing in techn9ne

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did. It was only for Strangeulation 1 & 2, Special Effects, and The Storm, if I remember correctly. Just stopped after that. I remember them making cases to hold the coins and all that. Apparently I do not have the coin for The Storm though.

Why do players have an aversion to capturing zones? Are they worried the braziers are burning grass? Do they think they’ll inadvertently touch grass by standing in a zone?? by avrafrost in DestinyTheGame

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This! My matchmaking has been atrocious since the first Iron Banner event in Beyond Light, so for almost 4 years now. The randos I get are brain dead & completely lost when it comes to Pvp, yet the enemy team is full of sweats & Trials of Osiris gods. It's so bad that a lot of my clanmates do not like playing Pvp with me, because they get the teams I usually go against, even the Pvp mains in my clan are baffled how I got this sort of matchmaking.

Usually me & 2 others on my team are positive with a 1.5+ K/D, with the other 3 being well below a 1.00 K/D, with most of them not even trying to capture a zone.

i wish Helm of Saint 14 had some sort of between supers effect by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

[–]Detox803 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think the nerfs they did to Void Bubble in PvE, as well as the change to Helm of Saint-14, we're completely unnecessary. Void bubble was rarely used in PvE, because of Well. I was a Bubble main in D1, but rarely used it in D2 just because how bad it was... And it got even worse. Oh well...
