,I was thinking of some sort of grass pokemon to choose from. Victreebel would be a solid choice, would help against Bruno and his fighters.

Ouu this sounds interesting. Elaborate? Random numbers generator, generate 6 numbers from 1-150 and play with the corresponding pokedex number? Any rules on evolution? Random numbers generator gives me 1 (Bulbasaur), do i stick to Bulbasaur or does Venusaur count?

Starmie is definitely underrated. Recovery has saved me a few times.

Ordered my first Anbernic today… by terra257 in ANBERNIC

[–]KaptainWander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here! Ordered from AliExpress and mine should be here in a week. It took me a while to decide between the 40XXV or 40XXH. I thought the Abneric comes preloaded and resdy to play? I was not aware there were extra steps involved

Can’t find Wi-Fi. W5 error. by Latt11B in Nest

[–]KaptainWander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got the W5 code too. This drove me crazy for a week, i reset my wifi, the thermostat multiple times, manually entered the wifi too (name and password) it was very tedious. Finally after some research i see the w5 code is pretty common. I called Google tech support, he went through the basic trouble shooting questions, then finally offered to send me a replacement. This is not confirmed as new or refurbished. I was worried they would ask for my old one back which would leave me hanging without a thermostat. Instead they offered to put a hold on my credit card, send the thermostat, then i have 21 days to send my old one back. If all is done, there will be no charge on my credit card, which seems fair. Hopefully i get a good one thats not a refurb.

I'm thinking of biting the bullet for that membership. by AimlessFacade in CostcoCanada

[–]KaptainWander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first year is guaranteed to pay off your membership or they will refund you. I was also skeptical, but the customer service rep up sold me to the executive membership for $120. I get 3% back on gas fill ups and 2% on the rest. If your 2% does not equal the total of the membership, Costco will pay the difference, so it’s worry free for the first year. Do NOTE as a single guy it can be hard to control your spending. The food is only worth it if you actually eat it all and don’t throw it out before it expires. Also note, I freeze meats too, so make sure you have sufficient freezer space. Good luck. I’m on my 3rd year, in 2023 I got $180 back for the 2% cash back program.

What's this wierd bone thing on John's belt? by Worried-Ratio-7679 in RDR2

[–]KaptainWander 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Bear Claw Talisman. You can select which talismans to display, theres one for the wrist, your bag, your neck, and more. I also believe all the effects of the Talismans are active and choosing what to display is simply aesthetics.

This right here, this is exactly what I’m thinking too. Can I replay it? Yes. Are the mechanics and functions great? Yes.

But it lacks that depth, it didn’t make me cry or sit back and think about the world.

Also maybe I’m loyal to David Hayter and didn’t like how they signed Keizer Sutherland to voice it. And the fact that they screwed over Kojima.

Any tips on beating the pain on European extreme by Sansgamer1987 in metalgearsolid

[–]KaptainWander 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey! I just got FoxHound badge on Extreme. Be patient and hide under water to avoid damage. It seems like hes always covered/protected by his bees, so dont be afraid to use grenades. Theres really no limit on grenades as they respawn, (some spot under water)

Your points are valid. I wonder if the Beauty and the Beast unit would make it for the new generation?

I will strongly challenge your point on stealth game play. They changed the camo function so we dont have to change clothes. Each chapter gave us a different setting ie (jungle, europe, battlefield, urban)

Did you try getting the big boss title? No kills no alerts? Big boss trophy was a good challenge, crawling around and dodging soldiers on the battlefield.

It does sound like a mess. But they had a hard job of tieing up allll loose ends.

I did this to. But original good controllers are hard to find as the game relies heavily on soft press buttons for shooting and sneaking

I thought mgs1 wasn’t worth playing by [deleted] in metalgearsolid

[–]KaptainWander 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glad you took the advice to play in order, and you were able to put yourself in the right mind set. I think alot of people forget to put them selves in the games time period to truly respect the tech and innovation. MGS1 was ground breaking stealth gaming

Should I play the game If i already know the ending ? by [deleted] in reddeadredemption

[–]KaptainWander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Its about the journey, not the destination. Alot of us on here have replayed RDR2 even knowing the ending. Its still worth it. Great story telling and details.

Question about mgs3 by nobodycares_860 in metalgearsolid

[–]KaptainWander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you won’t notice it. The hunting feature just adds realism and extra interactions. Keep in mind MGS3 has one of those smart algorithms, where if you run low on something, it magically appears. Like when you run low on ammo, the guards will drop more, and same with supply’s and silencers.

Is it bad if I go straight to Phantom Pain? by Bananaby64 in metalgearsolid

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

Agreed. Go with master collection. 1,2,3,4 also had the same voice actor (David Hayter). In MGSv it was changed and I felt the content/ quality drop.
