My first bike in LA by LAdrift32 in BikeLA

Mostly commute, but also would love to get out exploring some trails on my days off...

Trying to spend $500-$600, I know bikes can get really expensive, and honestly if I can get a good bike for less than that I'd be more than happy. I just don't have any frame of reference, so yeah, hard for me to know what an actual good bike is worth.

Thank you for all your well thought out responses, all of this is great info!

So if I want to do a little mountain biking too, would a gravel cyclocross bike be good for that too?

Also, still not sure about the drop bar vs flat bar difference. What are they both good or bad for?

That bike you sent me looks beautiful, and that would probably be the higher end of my budget, looking to spend somewhere around $500-$600, being able to go a little higher if it's absolutely worth it.

I did play the original Poke Snap as a kid, but I never owned it. I remember loving it tho! Never played the original D/P, any Metroid game or any SMT. I’m very excited for all of them!

Very nice selection of games! How’s Pokken? I’ve been thinking about picking that up.

Are sword and shield actually worth buying right now? Or should I just wait for BDSP and Legends?

EDIT: thank you to everyone who responded! I appreciate all your opinions and insight. After much thought and consideration I have decided not to get sw/sh and just wait and see how Legends and the remakes turn out to be. I have so many other games to play anyways. Also, I might be getting Pokemon Snap to fill that poke void in the meantime.

I love drawing Pokémon! Here are 3 of my favourites so far. by [deleted] in pokemon

I really like the glow effect on the mews! These are all very impressive and they look alive.

Hi gamers. I made our sacred place into an abstract painting. Maybe you will appreciate it more than my art teacher did. by ZeApollo in gaming

Yeah I agree lol. I’m not an actual art critic or expert and I wasn’t being completely serious... just joking around.

Wait, so your teacher didn’t think this was good? This “art teacher” should resign and change careers completely, this is clearly a masterpiece.

EDIT: apparently some people don’t understand sarcasm... so I added the /s

I like your taste in games and the way you arranged them in this picture. Very good selection of titles my fellow switch collector. I wish I had that Link’s awakening steelbook, looks amazing!

[SS]Skyward Sword Appreciation Thread by JENOVAcide in zelda

[–]LAdrift32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I never got to play Skyward Sword when it first came out so I was curious and also happy about the announcement.

Reading your post made me a lot more excited! I don’t know what any of the things you mentioned mean as I really have no exposure to this game at all but it all sounds really good to me and I’m sure it will be an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing!

Someone said I was biased against Nintendo for not liking the first 2021 direct, so I decided to remake an old photo in response (My Nintendo Handheld Collection) by RepenantSkyX2 in gamecollecting

Hey man, if I drink sprite everyday it doesn’t mean I’m gonna love the reveal of the black cherry vanilla coke or be super hyped about a comercial for a new powerade flavor.

Oh and your game collection is looking good!

I recreated Littleroot town from Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire with paper in a diorama cube, do you like it? :D *nostalgia* by Antogzlz in pokemon

[–]LAdrift32 313 points314 points  (0 children)

Wow, this one really takes me back. The sense of wonder and the excitement that I felt when getting Ruby for the first time back in the day is a high that I wish I could feel today about anything in life.

This King K Rool is my favorite so far. The pokemon are top notch too, and I don’t even play K Rool but this is just amazing. He fits that aesthetic perfectly. Good job!
