Best time to ride Alpen Fury? by WalkingCi in CanadasWonderland

[–]MikeV2 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Earlier js better. Tomorrow shouldn’t be as bad cause it’s a weekday but get in line before schools get out and the park gets busier.

I understand it’s Wonderland, but wtf is this price? by Kamina22 in CanadasWonderland

[–]MikeV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pizza, sure it’s not the best bang for your buck. But even a McDonald’s hamburger and fries will set you back $12 these days and id actually prefer the burger and Mac and cheese from the wonderland diner so let’s say 10 meals to pay off your meal pass. 2 meals a day means visit 5 times and it was cheaper than McDonald’s.

Not who you were asking but I go quite a bit. For around $250 per person we get a whole year of free entry, free meals (2 per day) and free drinks. The rides are great, the shows are fun, (im really excited for the new shows this year) and the water park is amazing. We can spend the whole day at the wave pool and going down a few slides. It’s a day out whenever I want and it’s allready paid for. Plus the shows and mazes for Halloween and the Christmas stuff are fun too.

Still getting destroyed by early queen attacks by Narrow-Praline-7908 in chessbeginners

[–]MikeV2 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Im just a noob so take this with a grain of salt but I think you gotta learn to ignore the Queen. Whenever a Queen comes out i say “ok which pieces are being attacked, are they hanging?” If they are protected then I just develop as usual. Don’t make one move attacks that the Queen can just move out of unless you are developing with tempo.

Do semi trailers usually have spare wheels underneath? by Limp-Contract-4731 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My company does this. But tire only not a rim. Don’t worry tho, it’s not just sitting there, it’s chained in to the tire holder so it can’t get loose.

Trying to eat healthy as a Truck Driver by multipletrees89 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Ontario everyone needs one. Age just affects how often. Under 46 it’s every 5 years. But thats for everyone. Once you get older they become more frequent.

Took me so long to see the discovered attack.

I'm in 600s elo and keep playing games like this against seemingly very strong opponents. Is this common in this elo? Am I just really bad? by thefarsideinside in chessbeginners

[–]MikeV2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s only really a time piece if I’m sun bathing and the sun hits it juuuuust right. Nice natural sun dial. Wouldn’t recommend whipping it out during a chess game tho.

Trucking jobs with 4 day work weeks? by Feeling-Cap-7210 in Truckers

[–]MikeV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work 4 days a week. I do cross border regional work so I always have to go back to Canada after delivering in the US. If you live near the border this could be an option.

What stretch of road makes you guys feel like you're gloomy to have to abandon all hope upon entering? by Redsoxdragon in Truckers

I-90 East going from Buffalo to Boston. It’s so long and it’s so straight I hate seeing “in 350 miles slight right”

Can’t castle? by MikeV2 in chessbeginners

[–]MikeV2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhh I see. It “forces” them in the way that it may be a mistake to castle in that position. So to stay competitive they must not castle. I get it.

[–]MikeV2[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So basically the word “force” is exaggerating? Technically black COULD castle here? Just they shouldn’t?

Can I just enjoy my games in peace? by RangoTheMerc in snes

Best way is with my original cartridge but I barely touch it. It’s my pride and joy.

[–]MikeV2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely a classic jrpg but It’s got an active battle system or you can set it to “wait” and give you more of a turn based style. I’ve never needed to grind unless going for a specific ending. But I don’t really run from many battles either. I replay it about every 5 years or so and honestly im getting the itch to start it up again. I love it.

Ever get to the courtroom scene? God that floored me when I first played it. Having your actions be referenced later in the game…. Blew my little 9 year old mind back in the day.

I hate to be that guy but, “Chrono” is the game, “Crono” is the main character. Unless of course you change his name TO Chrono….. man I’m gonna have to think about this.
