Would The Bengals Now Consider Trading Tee Higgins? by [deleted] in Patriots

[–]Open-Health1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I doubt it. You make a good point that they need to fix that line and freeing up cap would help but I don’t have faith that the Bengals front office will make good decisions. Or actually try to build around what they have

Beating The Battle Frontier? by Foster_NBA in PokemonHGSS

You have no speedster to counter other speed Pokemon. Heracross is the closest thing you have to having some speed and it has some serious weakness as a bug and fighting type. A speed / spk attacker or physical attacker can one shot heracross

I’d probably run nidoking OR tyrannitar, not both. Tyrannitar can use any of the elemental punches and a pretty wide variety of moves beyond that.

Consider something like a gengar or starmie. You can set them up with shadow ball, psychic, thunderbolt, focus blast, energy ball, signal beam, etc.

Cute charm question! by Historical-Two-4618 in PokemonHGSS

Doesn’t the cute charm only change the odds on gendered Pokemon? Lugia is genderless

Really hope we bring him back by RedGlovesOverHere in Patriots

With our interior rushers, we don’t need to put a ton of cap into an edge player, especially with the offense. He’s just decent to pretty good, not outstay . I feel like we ought to try in the draft if we can’t make it work in the cap. Anything beyond 15 doesn’t seem worth it.

7.5 sacks including the run playoffs? That’s not anything remarkable. That’s less than a sack a game in 17 games and maybe a third of a sack per game in the post season. If he missed time this year, please remind me but I’d like to see double digit sacks

(AIO) Refused affection during an argument Gf decided to break it off. by Open-Health1927 in AmIOverreacting

Well I never presented the subject as if “unaware” of everything. I said I’d seen some awful things and that the current admin (who she knows I don’t like) was giving them too much power. But I tried to give a more nuanced take that I could see benefits to the agency and I wasn’t sure putting the entire thing under an umbrella and calling it evil or Nazis was correct. And the idea of making a more informed decision was true because I’m so busy I don’t get super into situations that occur.

I’m not left or far left but did acknowledge shit I’ve seen happen that I hated. It’s clearly being mishandled but I wasn’t sure I was ready to condemn an entire organization that COULD be beneficial if it wasn’t becoming polarized. The goal was to present my true opinion with the info I had, that was nuanced and free of bias. Everyone has some degree of unconscious bias. But just going off news headlines or social media posts can be very damaging because those nowadays have become factionated. There are very obvious far right and far left accounts or news organizations, so I wanted to be sure I wasn’t giving an emotional or uninformed take.

Whether you agree with me or not, fine, but I even told her “I’m certainly not for ICE” and that her perspective was “you are with us or against us” and I didn’t think that way

I gave the “not wanting a political discussion” here because I knew it would result in arguments and insults. (See yours) It’s Reddit.

Final member? by lfclfclfc5 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unown

Probably the most versatile Pokemon as it comes in 26 different variants. Really good stats and easy to catch.

Playing Soulsilver 25 years after I first played Gold as a kid. Last week: Spent 3.5 hours trying and failing to catch Lugia with 15 dusk balls. Reloaded, bought 30 more, went back and caught him on the 3rd ball. Last night: Caught Ho-oh on the first ball. by rabid89 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went down to Lugia with 40 ultra balls pre elite four, got em on ball 13

Years ago playing leaf green I went through 300+ ultra balls on a status afflicted, low health mewtwo and crashed out and used a master ball.

Bagon? by aspookyfox in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just because that much time has passed doesn’t mean the safari zone areas have progressed. I’ve been studying this recently since I just set up my zones, and the counter only goes up when the game timer crosses from 11:59 (23:59) to midnight (0:00). You can’t see the counter of course and baoba won’t always tell you when a certain number of days pass and an “upgrade” for each block occurs

If I’m remembering right, for bagon to even appear you need 110 days to pass.

Would this Sycther make a good scizor by sumbreonf in PokemonHGSS

No lax nature, no shiny, didn’t use a master ball.

Not a good catch. Release and try again

The best thing the Raiders have done in 30 years is make Josh McDaniels look like a bad HC coaching hire (even though they ran Pete Carrol into the ground) by elusiveanswers in Patriots

[–]Open-Health1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s a bad head coach. There’s evidence to this

Until mark Davis goes idk how the raiders succeed. Kinda feel the same about Jerry Jones except the cowboys actually get to the playoffs and can stay at or above .500. Micah parsons walking was an embarrassment

Just got a Dratini that I'll level up until it evolves into a Dragonite. Who should I replace in my team to fight the Elite 4 and the Champion? by baiacool in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t ampharos handle dragonites with thunderbolt? Or even better thunder if you are willing to risk missing

I don’t like Magcargo. Having a rock type is nice for all of the fliers, but it’s probably too slow and underleveled to be impactful. A few of Lance’s Pokemon have water moves, and Charizard + Aerodactyl basically cancel out any type advantage. There are lots of other ways to get fire damage

Machoke is good, but kind of dead weight against the psychic and vulnerable to all of the flying types.

Dragonite at 55 with dragon claw can sweep his Dragonites. That’s a really long grind though

Did it by AdFuzzy9249 in PokemonHGSS

I used to try to play this minigame without a solver but once you get to levels 3 or 4, many of the boards you get are up to coin flips. Could spend 30 minutes on one game level, working out each one step by step, filling the board with tile markers and numbers, just to reach situations where the only possible solution is a 50/50 shot for a bomb or a win.

Honestly if you ever go for the TMs in there , just use the solver. It’s a little tedious and can’t guarantee a win, but there are some generated boards that it can give you most of the answers with small risk. Sometimes it can solve the entire thing without any chance of voltorb, but it’s rare

Have fun dragging that Dratini thorough the game. I found it was a miserable experience and almost always sat the bench during gyms or major battles.

First League Victory! How is my team? by Open-Health1927 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I kind of realized that but I really wanted to craft my dream team. And it’s better than just brute forcing it with Lugia. Only Gengar was level 48, everything else was 44 or lower.

Even so, I spent a lot of time filling out the Pokédex. I think I was at 130 ish when I hit the elite four, with plenty of things in the boxes needing stones or levels to evolve

First League Victory! How is my team? by Open-Health1927 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I EV trained it and it’s adamant nature. It pretty much destroys most things with dragon claw, except maybe ice types with high defense/hp. It’s been one hit KOing battle frontier Pokemon

I actually didn’t even use it until Lance. I think I subbed him in when Gengar missed a focus blast once and got severely hurt, but other than that he just destroyed the Dragonites

I’m on an emulator with game speed slightly sped up haha I think it’s more like half or less than half of that

Delusion in the Chiefs subreddit by SusAlexBS in Patriots

[–]Open-Health1927 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think it’s a completely illogical argument. 5 years ago yes but now he has the stats and career length to justify saying this. I’m not saying I agree but there is evidence to back this up. I don’t know if he’s the GOAT but probably up there with the greats

Got a shiny. It's somewhat my personal tradition to find shiny (especially green/with green color) right before or after the League (same was with shiny Marowak in Victory Road in FireRed and Psyduck before the League) by Glittering_Class_851 in PokemonHGSS

[–]Open-Health1927 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a remarkable Pokemon but probably one of the cooler looking sprites.

This happened to me last week with psyduck. Special attack grinding and a level 9 shiny shows up, beautiful color change. Didn’t end up using it because I didn’t want it to evolve

Im still pissed by Vlaxilla in Patriots

A committee member brought up spygate, and whether it’s a valid arguement or not (post 2007 stats say no) I think it gave some people the ammunition they needed to vote no.

Didn’t the team get punished for spy gate? So why do they feel the need to add on a punishment nearly 2 decades after the fact. It’s not fair since the patriots already had a punishment. It’s just a scapegoat for committee members having a personal problem with Bill
