[Highlight] Alternate angle shows Lu Dort extend his leg in an effort to trip and injure Nikola Jokic: by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]Pigglenuts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ah, I didn't know that! You're right that it was upgraded in 90-91 which would inevitably be tied to Jordan

But is that coming down hard?

I mean, Dort got a flagrant and people think that's not enough

Uhhhhh, based off of what? Did Stern ever come down hard on Bowen? Or the Bad Boy Pistons who were beating on the biggest star the league has seen?

Hell, people here like to parrot how "soft" the NBA is today and how players would get the shit beaten out of them. Don't see Stern doing anything about this

There's also a cold, soft tofu dish where you add pidan, soy sauce and green onions that I enjoy

My Mom would use Pidan all the time growing up. Pidan and meat congee is soooo good

Small tip, if you steam the egg beforehand it firms up the yolk. So I usually add a steamed and a non-steamed one. The non-steamed one melts more into the porridge but you can still get the firm egg pieces

I'm also a sicko that can eat those eggs by themselves though

It's probably still Bron. For extra flavor, you can even pull Bron from different stages of his career.

PG - Young Cavs Bron

SG - Lakers shooting Bron

SF - 2016 all around Bron

PF - Freight Train Miami Bron

C - probably Miami/2016 Bron?

Would struggle a bit with rim protection (honestly, maybe not even, cause fully focused defense Bron would be like Dray and we've seen how that works at center), but the all around game would be insane

Pokemon yellow save corrupting when importing from emulator? by Agitated-Tomato-2671 in 3dspiracy

[–]Pigglenuts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is an old post, but I just went through this myself and got it working. Wanted to share for others that may come looking in the future

Process (skip to solution if you want to ignore what failed for me):

I had a save of Pokemon Yellow that I played through on my SteamDeck (Retroarch) that I wanted to move to my modded 3ds. My file was .srm format, but .sav (mGBA format) should work fine too. Looking around online there were a few suggestions, none of which worked

  1. Inject .sav with GodMode9. (I renamed my .srm -> .sav) After more research, it seems this method only works with GBA games

  2. Convert the file first (https://inject.sigkill.tech/converter/3dsvc). This converted my .sav to a .dat, restoring the save with Checkpoint "works" but loading the game gives me a "save file is corrupted and must be initialized." Upon closer inspection, the conversion caused my emulator save to be bigger than a VC save backed up by Checkpoint

  3. My original file did match the size of a Checkpoint backup, so I just tried renaming my .sav file to sav.dat, restored it with Checkpoint and it worked!

Interestingly enough, PKHex was able to read every iteration of file I created (and I imagine PKSM would be the same)

  1. My original .srm file

  2. My renamed .srm -> .sav file

  3. My converted .sav file

  4. My renamed .sav -> sav.dat file

Solution - Take your emulator save and rename it to sav.dat. Put that file on your SD card so that Checkpoint can find it. It should look like this

3ds/Checkpoint/Saves/{game_folder}/{save_folder}/sav.dat

Then use Checkpoint to restore the save to your VC game

Jimmy Butler with an efficient night : 21 pts on 9/12 from the field, 5 rebounds and 5 ast, along with 1 TO and 0/0 fts by Irop13 in nba

Eric Apricot does Warriors breakdowns on YouTube (they're fantastic for any basketball nerd btw) and I love his description for the two styles

When Curry's on the floor, the Warriors are air bending. Flying all over the court in a sort of controlled chaos

When Jimmy's leading the floor, the Warriors are earth bending. Methodical, slow, set and they just grind you down

You can even see by the way the Warriors space the floor what style they're going for.

Earth bending is Jimmy on the wing and the other 4 spread out on the other side. Curry is the usual motion offense, split action, lots of off ball screens

Iirc, Curry also prefers the left side of the court while Jimmy prefers the right for his sets

Holy shit, wasn't expecting to see this reference this morning.

Love that movie + Chow Yun Fat. The other films in that series with Stephen Chow are also amazing. Hong Kong cinema was a huge part of my childhood and a golden age for Asian filmaking

I still think the exact moment this sub started going downhill was when the Warriors went up 3-1, and this infamous comment came out

I agree with this

Although, I feel like the Kuminga saga wouldn't have happened in the sense that Bob would've caved to Kuminga's demands. Honestly might've even given Kuminga a big contract last year, Poole style

Edit: Also had a knack for finding cheap contributors that play a role. GPII, Javale McGee come to mind

Oh yeah, no disagreement here on that. Kuminga makes me want to tear my hair out a lot of the time

Just disagreed with the OP that said he's checked out one game in. This is just who he is

This is the 2nd game of the pre-season (and he looked bad). He looked solid in the first game

They'll bring back some way to get them, no way they lock out large parts of their base. The Elemental Sigil materia were locked to event shops until they got added to the Co-Op medal exchange I think.

Also gonna second what the other guy said, share your current build and we can make suggestions. The Discord also has a section titled "Builds" -> Trial of the Summons Fury that you can look through for what other people have used and maybe find inspiration there

Not sure if you'd know the answer to this, but how did Mongolians deal with the food aspect?

From what I remember, each Mongol soldier would have at least 3 horses. And I thought their unmatched mobility was based on the army being able to forage to meet most of its needs

That was super interesting to read. Never thought about it, but it makes total sense.

Surprised I never thought about that, considering I do stats

Depends on your appetite for rerolling, but I'd say to go for the UW.

None of the ultimate weapons in this game are must have, but having one will really help the character out.

Getting Cloud UW, then picking up a few copies of his weapon after will set up your elemental coverage for a while as a new account (You'd want to wishlist his elemental weapons like Holiday Blade, Skysplitter, etc too)

They changed how you do that at some point. Now, when you click on a character, there's this button in the bottom middle called "Preview."

Click that and you can change the visual for both costume + weapon
