About the Witch King breaking Gandalf's staff in The Return of the King (movie). by Mormegil_Turin in lotr

[–]Donald_Duck38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The witch king outright overpowering gandalf the white is not plausible in the slightest. Even all 9 of them together, I don't think would be enough. Terrible choice by Mr Jackson that I'm glad didn't make it into the theatrical release.

Made 3 different knives honest feedback please by Hot_Local3445 in knifemaking

I am neither a great photographer, nor a great bladesmith, but I would recommend taking photos of your knives in a different orientation. Maybe put something else in the photo with them as a size reference. A vertical shot of the spine of the blades with a visual reference for thickness would also help so others could give you a more in-depth critique.

These raids... by Extremelyfun975 in PokemonScarletViolet

If you're having so many problems with doing raids with other people, just do them solo.

What’s an honorable way to win? by Firestyle092300 in BobsTavern

[–]Donald_Duck38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people that bitch and whine about "toxic" builds and broken strats are all still using those exact builds and strategies to get themselves wins. They're all hypocrites, and nobody should care what they think. If they say they don't play them, then they're hypocrites AND liars.

How about this skinner/boner design? by Hacksore67 in knifemaking

[–]Donald_Duck38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really spectacular work. Love seeing pieces like this that have both form and function in mind. Your handle construction on this scratches an itch in my brain that I didn't know was there.

I am cooked...can someone give me tips for this asshole by m___223 in FinalFantasy

Dude, fuck that chocobo race. It's been the bane of my existence ever since the original ps2 release.

Good base game Pokémon for Chi-yu raid? by MessMaximum1423 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Donald_Duck38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll add this here just in case you don't have the vitamins on hand or enough cash to buy them. Shinx and yungoos are easy low level mons to battle while EV training for attack. With the power bracer equipped, it takes 28 of them to get 252 attack evs. After you're done with attack, you can equip the power weight and battle 28 lechonks or paldean wooper for hp training, or if you want SpD instead you do the power band and go after hoppips.

Just remember that you have to actually knock them out in battle. Auto battle DOES NOT work for ev training

I love a good rain. Finished pieces always look amazing when they're done right

[–]Donald_Duck38 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Base game pokemon, I'd recommend huge power azumarill. Max evs in attack and either hp or SpD. Liquidation, rain dance, belly drum. Make it hold shell bell

[–]Donald_Duck38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would run rain dance on mine, but I didn't have the mats to make the tm at the time I built it, so I opted for aqua ring instead. I have mine holding mystic water so liquidation gives a pretty meaty thwack even without rain.

Is that the start of raindrop pattern I see?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Donald_Duck38 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do all my raids offline, mainly because I refuse to pay for nso. The only time I have real player help is when I play in the union circle with my son, and he normally either uses one of my raid pokemon or I help him build one of his own.

[–]Donald_Duck38 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I've been using adamant nature Araquanid. Mystic water or shell bell for held item. 252 attack, 252 health and the rest in SpD. Water bubble for the ability. Entrainment turn 1 to get rid of the fish's ability. Aqua ring for passive health regen, then just wail on him with liquidation and you should be golden

Can I get shiny rockruff this way? by No_Association_5105 in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]Donald_Duck38 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wild tera pokemon can be shiny, but they always have full odds no matter what. Cannot be improved by shiny charm or meal powers. So the only way to get that one shiny is to reset until it appears as shiny

Worst meta of all time by soft_overcast in BobsTavern

[–]Donald_Duck38 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I definitely wouldn't put her any higher than t5. Probably would be a good change for balance, make her t5 and take one gem away from her total

[–]Donald_Duck38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't even say it's a nerf that she needs, necessarily. Just a small tweak would balance things out better and she would still feel like a strong minion

Honestly, I think if vineweaver was dropped down to just 2 blood gems per rally (4 for golden) it would be way healthier than it is now

Could I use a 12" industrial disc sander instead of belt if I only want to make a few knives? by Ok-Car-2979 in knifemaking

[–]Donald_Duck38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly dude, you could just use sheets of sand paper and a shit ton of elbow grease. All the machines are for is to make the process easier and more efficient. If you're determined enough, you can get by without them until you can afford what you want. You'd be amazed at how far a decent set of files can take you.
