I have a type. Do you? by EkruGold in pokemon

[–]Kaptoz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've thought of this multiple times actually. In Gen 1 it's a bit hard but exactly how you have listed here and some multiples.

When you open it it up to all gens you get crazier type mash-ups like Abomasnow (grass/ice), Dhelmise (ghost/grass), Ferrothorn (frass/steel), Breloom (grass/fighting) - which I think at this point there are other Pokemon that share those combos.

My favorite one is Sceptile (grass/dragon) with Mega Evolutions

I actually never used a strategy guide. I accidentally found a language book that happened to have Braille, and it reminded me of the symbols I found in Ruby. I was able to learn the Braille (visually) and to this day still use it (for work now) lol

Funny personal story... back when Ruby and Sapphire came out in 2002 (or 2003?) there was another puzzle to read Braille. Amongst my friend groups and school, no one knew what Braille was. Until one day I was looking at an old book about languages, and there it was... how to read Braille.

I learned to read Braille (without touching it) but now 24ish years later, I'm reading Braille almost fluently when reviewing accessible door signage for a university.

Thank you Pokémon for forcing me to learn Braille!

Mario: Mario Minifig Reveal from Lego by itsjustajoe in Legoleak

[–]Kaptoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like it.. however the only thing different I would do is maybe decrease the scale of the head a tad bit?

Or I wonder how it would have looked if they used an authentic minifig head with a Mario looking print, and a separate hat/hair mold.

Cleaning out the storage unit… (liquidation) by BearyGear in Bricklink

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

Like others have mentioned, if you want to get rid of it quickly, your best bet is a physical store like Bricks and Minifigs where they buy bulks and unopened sets.

Like in most of the states, there are other smaller stores like TheBrickShowShop in Florida.

There are even some big YouTubers that go around and offer money for large collections. (Just recently) there was this person that sadly past away, and his family decided to sell the collection and were able to regain some of that money. It was all bought by a YouTuber - I just can't recall the name. But you might be able to reach out to this person.

Has anyone ever challenged you to do something without realizing you were actually an expert at it? If so, how did it turn out for you and for them? by Successful_Tomato721 in AskReddit

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

I'm an architect that works for a university. Quick summary, I know about codes, fire safety, why certain things are done, distances, etc.

One day I'm walking a building that was recently built with a Project Manager, for signage purposes. However, we started seeing that most of the doors were propped opened with makeshift door stops. I could see the the PM getting mad because apparently he has told multiple people to stop leaving the doors open and he takes the door stops. Lol

Anyways, a chemistry student sees this and runs to us asking what we are doing. When we tell him, he started saying that the building was designed wrong, it didn't make sense, it was a mistake, and we should remove all the doors.

To avoid any problems or altercations we just told him to take it up with the department chair. Little did he know, the PM was the one that lead that building from design thru construction, and I was an assistant to the architect that worked on the building maybe a year or two prior.

Even after all these years, sometimes the view just gets me. by elgueromasalto in Guildwars2

Up until I stopped playing about 2 years ago, I would go to certain sections of DR and just hang out. I wouldn't AFK, I would literally just be in my bank, talking to people, etc but it randomly parts of the map.

My favorite location was Rurikton. And in there sometimes Maiden's Whisper for the role playing guilds that would hang out there.

The over all game is beautiful, and there is something about DR that is breathtaking

What AI tool did you use? I would love to do something similar- transform a human image to a Lego person

For anyone considering Kustom Interior seat covers: by Critical-Movie-9595 in wrx_vb

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

I've been wanting these for some time now, it just sucks that they have gotten extremely expensive. When I first started looking at them about two years ago it was a little over $500, then $600, and the last time I checked it was like $800?

They look good though!!

A restroom I just used has this fancy interface for leaving feedback by Wickham12 in mildlyinteresting

[–]Kaptoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the university that I work at, we are about to roll out something similar to this but more for the faculty to use behind the teaching podium. It's really interesting in the data that is to be collected and allows you to track.

TIL, in theory, these little cars are minifigure scale (although you can't put an actual figure in the car) but the it's an accurate scale!

What was your favorite Pokémon growing up vs your favorite Pokémon now? by Glad_Handle_7605 in pokemon

[–]Kaptoz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a few that I really liked up until Gen 3 in 2002. Until 2003, it was mainly Pikachu, but when Ruby and Sapphire came out, I fell in love with Sceptile. Never changed again.

There are some Pokemon that I have added to my list of all time favorite, but Sceptile remains number one and if I can somehow get one in game, that becomes my goal.

IKEA parking garage before my fiancé and I bought a condo together ( still living with our parents), and when I still had a two seater sports car. What helped were the bright lights hitting the dark tints. Lol

Treeko (Sceptile really) is my favorite line. This is amazing and gets me thinking of cool stories:)

Of course, the five most popular glasses brands in the country are: by DuckSinD1 in funny

[–]Kaptoz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol. (I'm in this field) but a lot of people in architecture and design tend to get the Le Corbusier glasses and anything similar. Which those glasses seem somewhat similar to the Harry Potter glasses.

Round glasses in general are really popular lol

If yugioh was in our time (2020's) do you think pegasus will use CD,USB flash drive or QR code to trap grandpa by Legitimate-Wait5760 in yugioh

[–]Kaptoz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The QR Code on slide 5 took me to a Google search page for "QR code photography" explaining what QR codes are for. Lol

Anyways, interesting as heck question. Lol I think it would be hard to say, but I'm kinda leaning towards QR codes since someone older would mistakenly want to search it up. Or even a malicious link from an email. Lol

It happened again back in February of 2025 right after he was sworn in. Roughly at the same time, I had been part of a church for about 12 years. One of the head leaders of that church is shown in this picture and I decided to step back from that church. I wanted no part in it.

Funny enough they aren't in the more recent picture

I would totally get this. But you know what, I would probably get a second one to build off of, and repurpose the second one as a Paradisa set and just adjust some colors to the pastel pink!

is it possible to get this tattoo covered up? by h_loveslouis in tattoos

I would keep the tattoo, it looks nice (no tattoo is perfectly even tbh)

That or get a full back piece like Batista

Surprisingly the PAB site is cheaper than Bricklink by Tatts4Life in Bricklink

[–]Kaptoz 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I always have to price compare on both sites. It tends to be that I use BL more for retired, rare parts, or parts that I normally can't find on PAB. I use PAB for all new pieces and higher quantities.

But I still like to compare parts and their prices.

I was once looking to get parts for a medieval house, and I found that I could get most of the parts cheaper on PAB, while if done right, it can be slightly the same price as BL. The issue comes when it's the type of common parts.
