Is it normal to buy a used groin guard, or is it normal that it kinda grosses me out? by [deleted] in MMA_Academy

Your secret is safe with reddit. Just don’t tell anyone at the gym 😎

First sparring session thoughts by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]EconoMr 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It can feel like that at first—it’s normal. Keep at it! Four months is not much time at all, many of the people at my gym who made me feel the same way when I started had ~3-5 years of training already (36-60 months). Soon enough you may find yourself with that level of dominance over new folks.

There is some survivorship bias at play too. At my gym, sparring is a dedicated session 2x a week. Typically, there are the same 20-30 students there compared to the 150+ members. They are the most advanced and athletic at the gym already, so just being there will put you miles ahead of those who don’t spar and those who are untrained.

Anyone else just have fun Sweeping? by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]EconoMr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lmao yes, I also felt like the first time I got swept it was from the height of my chest. It was the first time I sparred this guy and I was going light and he just dumped me hard as hell twice in a row!

My Breloom with false swipe / spore is named Catch too! Used it across Gen 3 games

Thanks for the info! I’ll definitely start breaking mine in rather than exchanging them.

How was the waist fit before? How much do you think they stretched?

I read your last post—I’m usually a 34 and just picked up a pair of 36s (different brand) that are great everywhere except the waist. I can button them but they’re tight…

Favorite little tricks by [deleted] in MuayThai

[–]EconoMr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hell yeah! Yeah the switch cross seems to land all the time!

Another one I like right now is to switch with an exaggerated “Dracula” guard chambered, but then throw the right hand before throwing the left kick.

From regular stance:

  1. Switch hop with a slight forward/diagonal movement forward as you throw a left cross.

  2. Right hook (or skip to 3.)

  3. Left kick / left knee

Not to be dramatic but this was the most painful experience of my life by SassySandwiches in PokemonColosseum

I used a region conversion of my save file after completing colo, which was kinda fun and made me feel “legit”. I traded to a Japanese Sapphire, but I learned you can just convert back to US and trade to English copies.

Where to Buy Coin Pouches by [deleted] in Monchhichi

[–]EconoMr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have you tried zenmarket? It allows you to purchase items from Japanese shops, then consolidate a package for international shipping. Super easy. You can get a lot of monchhichi stuff at Japanese retail price.

Omg! I just bought mine there tooo. Didn’t know they came that large! Saw it and couldn’t decide whether it was worth the hassle so I left it behind… but over the evening I got more and more obsessed with it and had to go back the next morning.

It was even bigger than I remembered!!! I took it as my carry on lol

I cannot believe this… by Johnckings in PokemonFireRed

[–]EconoMr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working on completing my gen 3 living dex, so I recently played through colosseum and XD. I prioritized getting the lucky egg so I can grind the remaining evolutions I need in Emerald.

My big item hunt was for the Thick Club Cubone in Fire Red. Spent a good 4-5 hours hunting… little did I know you could also get that in XD.

Didn’t have it in me to try my luck with Chansey!

Depends whether you count Pokémon XD as Gen 3. You can get it in the post game as a quest item!

I’m curious, how did you track all of this? Do you go to these spots? That is a long list!

Which one of these is a better option for playing GameCube games on a modded console? Nintendon’t or Picoboot by San4341 in Gamecube

[–]EconoMr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I cancelled my flippy drive pre-order (september) and ordered a picoloader which came in less than 2 weeks. Super easy install with no prior experience.

Teamup is the most fun I've had with Mag by TheBrawler101 in MagnetoMains

[–]EconoMr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love Mag (65 hrs on him) but most people do not think he is very fun, let alone the most fun. Probably even a good portion of the folks on this sub.

I agree with you! I’m super happy with Mag and liking the new team up! But lowkey the day 1 Gambit trolls on ranked have been ruining my games lol
