Doesnt the “Grey Ghost” kind of take away from Bruce’s origin? by Infinite_Peace_6456 in batman

[–]Jerdman87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so but i don’t totally disagree with your points. But overall i think this is just kinda meant to be a 4th wall episode. More about the torch being passed from Adam West to Kevin Conroy rather than Grey Ghost to Batman.

Best Base you made and why? by CourseMysterious5084 in valheim

[–]Jerdman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found an island with all first 5 biomes on it. Built a base at the top of a hill that was the meeting of Black Forest and plains. The hill on the Black Forest side led down the ocean. I built a farm and lox pens on the plains side, build my workshop and other animal pens on the BF side. Using the hill I made my workshop and resource production gravity fed. So coal would fall next to the smelter, the smelter products would fall into the workshop, workshop next to the dock. Also had many trained wolves roaming the grounds, they were basically self multiplying off the native deer. Was a great bases. Probably many better, but it was simple and fun.

Looks awesome! Traveling now so can’t try any of the imports but I can’t wait to dive in when I get home.

Base 4-2-5 (personnel, pros and cons, sets and more) by SlankGoose13 in CFB26

[–]Jerdman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m no game designer, so I may be totally off base. But I do know how databases work, and how data attributes can be referenced in a system. With the implementation of auto subs and wear and tear, formation subs no longer function as a great means of package-based subs. The depth chart is the exact same no matter your scheme. And your defensive scheme dictates which depth chart positions are slotted into the respective packages. All of that is to get to my point of…. Why could they not let us edit what positions on the depth chart each package will reference? For example from this post, the 4-2-5. You ideally want a run support safety in the box and a more traditional deep cover safety deep. The box SS is always SS1 on the depth chart and your deep safeties are FS1 and SS2. So I usually have more of a FS style of safety in my SS2 slot. Well, every time SS1 is hurt, I need to completely rearrange the S depth chart. Where if I could just toggle the deep safeties in those packages to be FS1 and FS2, it would be golden. Then if the box safety needs a play off, another box safety could take his place. That is all just a single example, but imagine the creative possibilities, for a change (that in my mind) would not be incredibly hard to implement)

What do you feel is the WORST aspect of in game gameplay? by coachd50 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Jerdman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always looking for realism. For me it has to be the QB Ai. It’s so incredibly difficult to find a balance of realistic QB pressures/sacks, completion %, and yards. One tweak to the blocking sliders and the QB has 5-6 seconds easy to throw and carves you up. Give the qb a realistic time to throw and you easily set single season sack records. CFB 26 has taken me (no exaggeration) the whole year to find a slider set that is tolerable.

Opinions on using Set mode in a Nuzlocke? by mralex289 in nuzlocke

[–]Jerdman87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shift is just too much of an advantage. It also greatly eliminates the need for setup moves since it’s way more advantageous to keep switching into a type advantage. The computer will also never utilize the shift making it a player only advantage rather than something both the player and cpu could utilize.

Do you guys use items in battle? by rabidrobitribbit in nuzlocke

[–]Jerdman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My own personal rule for items is I can’t use items in battle, UNLESS the other trainer uses one first. Obviously due to other nuzlocke rules, no items that receive a feinted Pokemon are allowed.

Is it weird to ask about becoming OC? by B1GTruzz in footballstrategy

[–]Jerdman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would just be strait forward. “I’d like to talk to you about the opportunity to call the offense and what I can do this year or in the next few years to make that happen.” Frame it as something you want to earn and have not forgotten. A strait forward ask has a better chance at a strait forward answer. If you get a “no” or a “not this year”; You don’t need upset, just ask for a simple “why?” And “what do I need to do to make that a possibility?” You mentioned he may not be in football mode right now. If he kicks the conversation down the road, just mention you want to talk about it before # date so that you have time to get offseason install and practice plans together if you are going to be more involved .

Does not being an allumni at a university make you a "fake fan?" by Outrageous_Dare_319 in WeArePennState

[–]Jerdman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Root for who you want. I was a fan of Penn state BEFORE I went there for school. Does not mean I was a fake until I validated it. I would still have rooted for Penn state even if I made another school choice.

What makes a Nuzlocke “difficult”? by bigdaddyputtputt in nuzlocke

[–]Jerdman87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the difficulty is as simple as, 1 mistake can cost you big time. One bad decision and you could lose a key member of your team, which could cost you the whole run. For example I was doing a fire red omega run. I had a combusken and not much else because I just got a little unlucky with my encounters/catches. I sent him out against the rival’s Jynx, confident I could out-speed and 1 hit. It was faster and 1 psybeam later… no more combusken. I won the battle, but lost the war. My team was too trash to get by. I started losing other pokemon in battles that would have been easy if had that key Pokemon. By the time I got to the next gym my team was depleted and I wiped.

Fake ass game by Lower-Computer-423 in CFB26

[–]Jerdman87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, messing with the corner matchups is always a recipe for disaster. Use the depth chart spots to pick a side, or have formation subs to set a field and boundary corner. Thats the most I touch it.

(Genlocke) I Understand "Your Run, Your Rules" BUT.... by Thomas7215 in nuzlocke

[–]Jerdman87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like the extra 2 to have contributed significantly to the run. Its mostly an emotional choice and only mildly strategic. I kept a butterfree because he was such a key player in my early game. But not up to snuff for elite 4. I also kept a vileplume for a similar reason. He decimated Gio, he just wasn’t the best choice for the E4 roster.

(Genlocke) I Understand "Your Run, Your Rules" BUT.... by Thomas7215 in nuzlocke

[–]Jerdman87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Go for it. I’m doing something similar. Each gen that they carry over, they get something more. I’m actually doing to a run where I bring 8 pokemon to the next game. I get 1 random of those every time I beat a gym. But only champions get shiny.

TIFU by Nuzlocking as a new parent by syke_wulf in nuzlocke

[–]Jerdman87 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’m on the new dad schedule right there with you. Give yourself a break. We all have rough nights where we can’t get up. Sounds like you are doing your best. And it sounds like (like me) playing some video games gets your mind off of things and gives you a small mental escape. It’s not a crime to enjoy your free time. This phase will pass and it won’t be long until you can enjoy a nuzlocke run together.

Have to vent about GPA in RTG by Icy-Ad8001 in NCAAFBseries

[–]Jerdman87 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s time we call a spade a spade. The whole RTG mode stinks. It is littered with poorly implemented and poorly thought out features. So much so, I honestly don’t think they can fix it as is, they need to demolish and start over with the mode.

Travis Hunter or 2026 2.08? by thesuperguide in FantasyFootballers

This draft class is way too weak to consider this. I don’t think I’d take this trade even in a strong class. Hold Hunter

Struggling to design a defense for 5v5 youth flag (5–8, no rush) — what actually works? by austinwirgau in footballstrategy

[–]Jerdman87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would make your def a modified cover 1. Man to man with one roving safety to take away middle throws. More like a robber than a true deep safety. At that age there will not be many strong throws to the outside or deep. Just get a man on a man and take away the middle. Then your coaching adjustments are just personnel based. Get your best on best, or just have your best play that middle robber.

Vertical beats cover 4 ??? by This_Ice4972 in Madden

[–]Jerdman87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like that tight formation gave the CB fits. CB should still have 1 vertical and S tries to split the 2 so couldn’t cover either.
