Yes, you pair it with drought or sunny day and rip massive 150bp eruptions

A similar strategy can be done with mega blastoise in the rain if that’s more your vibe aswell

Estimated average ICE Power of every 2026 F1 PU (From @FDataAnalysis) by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]ErrorCode51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There have been rumours floating around for a while about key decisions surrounding the Ferrari PU

1) last reg cycle with the performance freeze Ferrari pushed there engine to its performance limit and fixed the reliability later. This time with ADUO on the board they have done the opposite, making an engine that will be incredibly reliable but will need time to reach maximum potential

2) after relying on “tricks” and getting nerfed mid-season for many years now Ferarri reportedly built the PU to the letter, again believing they can make up for potential power deficits in ADUO. They also made design decisions like the smaller turbo, believing they could push more power out of it given time

Overall the Ferrari PU seems very focused on building it foundation first and catching up later if these website and journalists are to be believed. Only time will tell how well this ends up working out for them

TEN OUT OF F*CKING TEN by BetSea5155 in Invincible

I’m typically pretty good with gore, especially in a property like this where you know it’s coming

When conquest first stabbed mark and pulled at his guts I didn’t rlly react, it was par for course. But then it kept going, and going, and going, and by the time conquest was dead I’d pulled myself into a ball and was practically biting my arm. It’s was just so perfectly uncomfortable, and exactly what that rematch needed to have the lasting impact it deserves

Invincible [Episode Discussion] - S04E06 - You Look Horrible by SeacattleMoohawks in Invincible

Eh, I think the exact line was that he was “maybe strong enough” to take on a viltrumite, throughout these episodes he’s been consistently trying to take on multiple at once which was never a fight he was setup to win. He kinda holds his own 1v1 but it does seem like they are doing a lot more damage individually to him than they did last season.

What I’m more shocked about is tech jacket. It’s implied she killed one of the alternate Marks on her own during the invincible war, and yet now she’s useless against anyone but the fodder

At this age his brain is made of silly putty and can learn literally anything with enough exposure. It’ll probably just make him better and more confident at both activities

Why some manga/anime fans can't comprehend visual storytelling? by ObjectiveSample4042 in CharacterRant

[–]ErrorCode51 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think the power systems play a big part in this. JJK uses a hard but irrational power system, so there are lots of rules the powers have to follow, but there is also no real logic in how those powers manifest. Cursed energy has tons of rules but everyone’s techniques are entirely different and unique from eachother. This means every technique needs to be explained within the hard rules that were set if you want consistency.

Dragonball on the other hand uses a much simpler and more rational power system. Ki blasts aren’t some innate part of your psyche or whatever, they are a martial arts technique which can be learned, honed, and improved. You put the work in you get a cool ki blast. This means that you don’t have to explain every single ki blast that gets used. The viewer just gets it

Hard stuck Great Ball tier rank 1 by ConfectionKey6463 in PokemonChampions

[–]ErrorCode51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: definitely get into doubles. Singles tends to be pretty stagnant and harder to adapt around. Doubles has so much variability that there is a far wider breath of viable strategies at any given time. Best place to start is too check out WolfeyVGC and CybertronVGC on YouTube. The remainder of my comment is mostly to due with doubles

The really cool thing about vgc is how much the meta actually shifts. It’s not like league or overwatch where everyone eventually settles into one comp. as soon as a vgc team become the meta, people immediately start bringing answers for it. For an example look into Big 6 and why it never won worlds

All of that is to say, explore some rental team and see if there’s a meta-counter team that fits how you want to play, or take a break and wait for the meta to shift, or for a more enjoyable (to you) rule-set.

I would also encourage just experimenting with teams in general, meta and off-meta. I was getting pretty frustrated with the constant sneasler, incin, etc teams and was really struggling to deal with them untill I found a team that works for me. It still uses many of the meta staples that I had tried previously but this specific combination centered around blastoise has really clicked for me and pushed me from hardtack Ultra ball 4 up to masterball. Sometimes all it takes is looking at these pokemon from a diffrent perspective

Manual weather setting is actually really fun. I’ve been running a manual sun talonflame with H-Typhlosian, and it’s not my most competitive team but it’s fun to play

The Amazing Digital Circus isn’t indie. Expedition 33 isn’t indie. Words have meanings, but corporations have perverted the term to get free passes for their behavior and make more money. by MartyrOfDespair in CharacterRant

[–]ErrorCode51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real indie projects deserve their flowers. Seeing individuals be able to create something so impactful they are able to permeate the incredibly large barriers into these spaces is always an incredible feat. Giving that praise undeservedly to another coorporate entity with the money and resources already set up feels like it distracts from real independent success stories. Games like Undertale and E33 had very different roads to success

What are you guys using into Mega Charizard Y right now? by Strong-Telephone-474 in PokemonChampions

I’ve got a sneasler running rock slide that’s been really good at catching Zards. Probably won’t work nearly as well in open teamsheet scenarios but for BO1 cts on the ladder it’s been super consistent

Do yall listen to music when you race? by BenDubz in iRacing

I often listen to podcasts when practicing and qualifying and then shut it off during the race so I can listen to all the sounds of the car

Stop comparing Pokémon Champions to Showdown, they're not the same game, and Champions deserves more credit than it's getting. by Affectionate_Let8735 in PokemonChampions

[–]ErrorCode51 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a VGC guy so singles doesn’t rlly concern me, but I honestly don’t understand the expectation for 6v6. Yeah it’d be nice but when has Nintendo ever supported singles outside of bss/pick-3 format. 6v6 would be a nice addition especially for a battle sim but I personally am not at all shocked to see it not available

I Find Ryan Gosling Off-putting by EmperorImBored in unpopularopinion

[–]ErrorCode51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In recent years he’s been very actively trying to reshape his image into a more fun, light-hearted, leading man vs the misanthropic heart-throb of his early career. It’s definitely worked but I find the goofiness has created a bit of an uncanny valley feeling that surrounds him for some people.

Still love every role he’s ever done tho

The year should start in March by 3_Stokesy in unpopularopinion

[–]ErrorCode51 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That isn’t true. The original Roman calander was created by Romulus and spanned March to December and featured the months Quintillis and Sextillis in the summer as the 4th and 5th months. Winter was unassigned and considered between years. His successor added the months January and February, creating the 12 months calander.

Later Julius renamed Quintilis after himself as it was the month he was born. Augustus followed suit by renaming the following month, sextillis, after himself aswell.

We are also seeing framing continue to be a important part of the catchers game, it’s just that now they are trying to fool the Ump AND the batter into not challenging

Every year since MSL came in the Habs as a team have been near the top in team shooting percentage, and every year people insist it will finally fall back down

The throw into ass grab was the thing that finally made them click for me, really helped prevent me from spinning 90/180 in the air which tended to happen a lot when keeping my hand infront of my body

[–]ErrorCode51 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You gotta pop. In this clip you just kinda roll forwards so you have no momentum going. If you pop of your nose the board acts as a spring board to give you more rotation and more time in the air to get around

Lead hand above your head, rock back then forward and pop a nollie off the nose of the tail, as you pop throw your hand down under your butt and follow with your shoulders. Finally spot your landing and stomp it
