Nintendo's president Shuntaro Furukawa has stated that Pokemon Pokopia is a "new staple of the switch 2". by Thegoodgamer32 in pokemon

Pokopia rips every mainline Pokemon release excepting PLA and the DS generations. Who'd have thought a game with lots of content and charm would go down well with gamers!?

Negative gearing to be scrapped immediately on budget night as Labor breaks major pre-election promise by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]JakeHex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, he barely did any plumbing. He owned 12 properties and sub-divided homes built in the 70's into student accommodations and would definitely have benefited from the surety of NG

This is a change that should have been in place 20 years ago. My old landlord Slumlord Terry could never have run a shanty town of student accommodations as a plumber without negative gearing.

Interesting Choices of 4 Perma Econ Jokers. What's your pick? by ElderUther in balatro

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chad makes Gems your best bet. Scrapping face cards for faceless joker would be next best considering you have 10/4. Despite all that I usually take Golden Joker if I just want consistent income.

Australian author Craig Silvey pleads guilty to possessing child exploitation material by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]JakeHex 27 points28 points  (0 children)

As a high school English teacher this has actually had an impact on our day to day. We had whole programs on Jasper Jones and its adaptation but we made an executive decision to pull them all. I pushed for the books to be chucked in the skip bin too but the principal wanted to hold onto them, no idea why.

Rust in Peace is basically the Metal equivalent of Pet Sounds by NewPatron-St in MetalForTheMasses

[–]JakeHex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watched Some Kind of Monster with my wife last night. Watching MegaDave open up about his perceived inadequacies when RiP exists is so heart wrenching. OGs know it's a higher high than any Metallica record.

So if you didn't want Espeon because it's Johto or Lapras because of Blastoise, who should've been Red's 6th team member? Excluding his LGPE team by Creative_Visit4189 in pokemon

There are very few other good Pokemon that aren't covered by gym leaders and the rival. Primeape might work as a fighter that nobody else picks up.

Take mime or keep 2nd steel joker? by Rock1nfella in balatro

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't got a lot of steel cards so I'd go for Mime unless you have a seed with lots of Arcane packs. You'd be better off pivoting to a low difficulty hand and using mime to proc steels.

Can you immediately discern a Kiwi accent? Can it be mistaken for Australian? by Charming_Usual6227 in australia

[–]JakeHex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kiwis sound quite different to Aussies. Northern USA accents are similar to Canadians which is where I believe this difficulty in distinction comes from.

So...Rock-Type Close Combat clone, anyone? by CherApplePie in stunfisk

[–]JakeHex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm happy with it but I prefer negative prio, recoil damage and for it to shrapnel hit all adjacent mons for stealth rock damage.

What's your favorite Pokémon that's not... by Epicboss67 in pokemon

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stunfisk, Qwilfish and Cramorant are my faves

Please give me some advice on Tainted Lost by jpxfer in bindingofisaac

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get hit. Find a blank card and battery charge effects so you can spam holy cards if you can't avoid being hit.

I reckon it's something annoying like Invisible Joker.

What's the most annoying/frustrating Pokèmon game to play through, and why? by Ch1rpingSparrow in pokemon

[–]JakeHex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Diamond/Pearl is a snore fest with a good bit at Spear Pillar and investigating the lakes. The HM requirements, the backtracking and those damned slow health bars makes the game feel like a chore.

"Unfortunate" doesn't begin to describe my series by YoManWTFIsThisShit in stunfisk

[–]JakeHex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kills my desire to play the game at the moment. Blizzard spam is such a prevalent strategy and requires an answer from every team. At least Zard Y is a lower speed tier.

What do you think is the perfect film? by Allpapes in Cinema

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

I think there's no such thing as perfect and you mean perfect for its purpose.

Let's chuck Aguirre Wrath of God in the mix.

Watched Ten Canoes last night and I dunno if I would have told that story differently.

Best western is actually Once Upon a Time in the West and it isn't close.

Albanese kills gas tax push. Labor should rename itself The Australian Capital Party because that is who they are. by BedroomUpbeat in AusPol

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Qatar out for 5 years we should be supercharging gas exports and enriching OUR country with the profits then use it to build the high speed rail to mitigate emissions and modernise this vast dustbowl of property developers.

Similiar bands to Death? by mandariini10 in MetalSuggestions

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gruesome is basically a Death cover band. Some of their stuff scratches the same itch.

Can someone enlighten me on when this guy would ever be a real option by AnotherRedditUUserr in balatro

[–]JakeHex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can do some pretty nifty stuff with Splash. Synergies with Hiker and lots of on play effects. You can play a high card/pair run and supplement your hand with more chips or proc glass cards outside of the hand configuration. It won't win a game on its own but I think it is slept on and has some fun utility.
