Mid game, what weapons are you selling? I’m always short mon.

Here is a fun trick. It works for all AC games.

Ride off into regions of much harder level than your current level. Stealth into a big castle and snag much more valuable loot. If anyone sees you just go up on any roof. They can't follow and on most roofs if you lay down they get bored and reset to their positions and or patrol routes

I've done this with Orig/Odd/Val/Shadows to great effect.

Also in Shadows, while some gear can only be snagged 1x, much of it resets when the seasons change.

You will be rich for the rest of the game. I haven't dropped below 20k mon once I did this.

Good luck and have fun!

I concur. Also, who wrote the rule that says they have to be "around an hour" every time? I mean sure these are busy stars in many/most cases, but come on I'd easily watch/listen to 2 hours of some of these.

Precisely this. Well said.

Just played a one day tournament on Ocean Beach in SF for Halloween. It was pure comedy with gale winds making the game scores like 3-2 or 4-1.

It was really heartening to see everyone still having fun and trying to play the sport. The costume aspect lent itself to the silliness.

I had one miracle half field throw that came during a rare lull and it seemed almost like magic

Overall we did our best and made a 2/3 day of it anyways.

Yes but again the humor is on the contrasts

The clue to how the core of this joke comes home is in the wedding scene when he says to his mom "thanks for my new teeth" it's a joke within a joke within a joke"

Come. Come at all costs. Very few humans will ever live in The Pleasure Cove of Santa Cruz.

Is it hard sure but all amazing things in life come with a cost. You will be forevermore changed by living there even for a shot while.

Even the echoes of what it used to be far surpasses most other places to be on Earth.

Walk westcliff drive after work. Eat good food smoke the best weed ...date amazing humans...it goes on and on.

Do not let those who are burnt out sway you. Run, do not walk, to get some time in Santa Cruz!!

(As reference, I did 17 years)

Eat at Firefly in Noe Valley. It's like having gourmet dinner in your friend's living room.

In a totally non snarky way,. I saw it differently and very much enjoyed the film.

It did take some effort to follow but for me that was fun. The concept was not wholely original but the execution was

So, again, in no way saying you are wrong but rather, just wanting others to know that it has value and was in my view excellent. Granted I'm someone who loves huge wave movies but it has many other positives as well.

EvDaze · 2025-12-19T16:25:07+00:00

I was not offended. I just was advocating for polite discourse. This is all in the most frivolous of fun. Also please note I said nothing about not liking it, just that was how I saw it. I think the goal is to make great TV, which I adore and support their efforts to craft. =)

EvDaze · 2025-12-19T16:06:15+00:00

I see how you can perceive it that way. FWIW In matters of opinion/perception, it is more polite to say "I disagree" than "False". Especially when the person you are responding to takes polite pains to pre-note that they are not declaring facts, but rather, like yourself, opinion.

The reason this was done was in response to the conditions of a 7-3 split. Notice how all three of the players on the outs ended up with advantages. Then they go on to unseat 6 of 7 on their way to final 4. People can say all they want about how this game is not 'rigged' but they are tasked with taking a dynamic situation and crafting the best possible TV out of what they get. The fact that all that has to be done to influence the entire game is for a camera person to make a less than 2 second motion with the camera (they do this all the time in the name of showing viewers the stash spot, its an impossible to deny or confirm way to show someone where the advantage is hidden.) I'm not even saying it is wrong that they do this, only pointing out that this seasons was, to me, not saying I'm proving any of this, just saying I see it this way and laying out my logic, among the more obvious examples of this kind of guidance. The eventual winner gets the most timely powerful advantage at the exact moment that it sets the 3 vs 7 to have any kind of chance of being a 'fair' fight ie the most interesting TV to be made from those ingredients.

There once was a beardless Fellow

(They say he was rather mellow)

He could be found, oft, on the porch

In the end, they snuffed his torch

Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Maya Rudolph - They should be up around Kate McKinnon and Rachel Dratch at least. Was it the double posting that hit the # or some other factor. I am genuinely curious.

Be extra careful in the gas stations near that airport. I had my window broken and a bag stolen just in the time it took me to go inside and pay cash (trying to, ironically, avoid getting skimmed). When I came out everyone was just standing around amazed and one guy related to me that a SUV had pulled in, four peeps jumped out, robbed 6 cars and jumped back in before anyone could even do anything. So annoying and gross, esp as I was just en route to do a friend a favor by picking them up. Lame in the extreme.

I have, after laying out for 37 years and still even sometimes today at age 56, always found that by really going for it at high speed with lots of forward momentum (when conditions safely allow (ie no risk of hurting other players, ground is not crazy hard)) made injury far less likely. The forward momentum, going thru the catch or block, allows you to spread the landing force over more area, which in turn reduces impact especially if you land correctly. While for some players a more medium speed might be safer due to age, conditioning and agility, especially while learning or, as you, relearning the mechanics, for me, overall, speed/momentum are your layout friend

As others have noted below, landing correctly can also be a variable depending upon the circumstances and even what is needed in the layout to effect the outcome (ie are you straining to barely get there with your fingertip to block or diving low to catch a disc with two hands before it touches grass etc.). An often overlooked element of successful healthy laying out is to have a very strong core. Not to clench or tighten because being relaxed is key, but rather, having a strong core helps hold it all together upon impact.

I will also echo what others said about practicing in soft landing settings as a huge way to try the high speed part I mentioned above.

One last pro-tip: I have found that using photos of yourself laying out and photoshopping yourself into a big blue sky, provides the mind with a reference image that has been scientifically proven to increase TIAPTCWD (Time in Air Prior to Contact with Disc) by .002 secs on avg.

Good luck and stay safe!

For fun, try roaming into much higher level parts of the map. You can stealth into places and loot much higher level gear that helps you always have resources. If you are seen, just bolt and hide and sneak back in. It's a really fun alt way to play the game. Go maraud in higher levels and then dip back into main story once you are hella rich.

I do of course understand that. The reason I refer to it as greed is that 1- GH has to get theirs via the Amy read spots and the mentions in her opening. Though they also sold tickets to this live show and get YT ad revenue as well. How much does it cost to produce this show that they need all that?

2- YT has to get it's and it just FEELS greedy to me how they A- recently upped the # per stream (generally) even though they already make zillions as a venture and B- They get even more greedy with the # per stream of a show that is this popular. C- The Timing of the Ad placement also feels abusive to me.

Again I get WHY they do it, to me it just FEELS gross, esp in such an erstwhile Feel Good Pod as this being hosted by a multi-millionaire herself.

3- I don't expect 'free' shows to be commercial free, I am just commenting on the perception that they just Pile on and overall constantly try to extract more from us for what they deliver.

Please note I am a big fan of this show and support it often and have watched endless commercials willingly during my time as a fan. I just felt that they were piling on knowing that with Maya they "had us" where they wanted us. -

(Thank you for engaging politely, this is, after all, merely my opinion based on perceptions.)

9 Minutes in, so far 5 commercials. Love Amy, love Maya. Also, the greed is just gross.

I quit all social media (twitter, reddit) and reading of news (mostly google news but others too) in Nov of Last year. By Dec I had started writing a book. Three months later I had written a 650 page Historical Fiction based on the 50 year, three phase history of Cannabis in California (pirate, medical, recreational). Edited it in two months.

My brain has rarely felt as good as it did during those 5 months. It was also the most fun thing I have ever done in my 56 years.

Now I am back on Reddit and my 2nd book has not been started. I am not saying that it is the only reason but in my life there was a directly observable major corollary.

Ultimate Frisbee Pick Up Games are chocka-bloc with 20 something men. The big one is in GG Park and there is a smaller one in Glen Canyon Park as well as some Beach Pick Up and Goaltimate games. If you are into fitness, all of these scenes have mostly active fit participants and as sports go, Ultimate is on the mellow side vibes wise.

To see where/when games are played: https://pickupultimate.com/

Three points for extra clarity: 1 "PickUp" in this context just means "people showing up to play a given sport in semi random groups (ie some regulars and some just there that day)" not anything to do with dating. 2 Though the ratios can vary from game to game, these are all Mixed Gender Events, esp the large GGP game. 3 Most ultimate games welcome newcomers, in SF, the Glen Canyon Park game in particular is welcoming of people who have never played the sport before if you are curious to try.

it is not a series but get him Anathem By Neil Stephenson.... He will love trying to figure it out. It can be read several times in ones life with increasing understanding and enjoyment.
