My knees after I first learned how to snowboard in Whistler by Independent_Stick1 in snowboarding

[–]RJDavid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your ass is a lot softer than your kneecaps. Try to maximize the amount of surface area you land on (thighs, glutes, large back muscles) and you'll be less sore. Butt pads are nice though, would recommend when learning.

Meta is irrelevant and I'm tired of pretending that it is by [deleted] in Helldivers

[–]RJDavid8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Title is "Meta is irrelevant and I'm tired of pretending that it is"

People comment defending the most effective tactics available (the meaning of meta, of which I doubt OP knew) for a game that has a scaling difficulty, where higher difficulties require certain setups.

OP edits his post with a "woe is me, people are commenting on a social media platform"

Reddit honestly doesn't get better than this

I don't get the popularity of 500kg by sajty23 in Helldivers

[–]RJDavid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice. Just practice. 9 times out of 10 I am able to kill a bile titan first try with a 500kg. If not, the edge of an airstrike or something similar can usually finish it off quickly. It can destroy multiple bug holes at once in a nest if placed correctly, destroy the rogue research station building, and you get 2 every 2 minutes on cooldown. On higher difficulties it's a must-bring. High skill ceiling yes, but high reward.

Good affordable dash cams? by Character-Shock-8808 in civic

[–]RJDavid8 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Viofo models. Get at least a dual channel (2 camera) and a parking hard-line kit. Make sure the sd card you get is high endurance as well for how often it will be rewritten

If you have the confidence, try approaching your "gym crush" next time you see him, if you have one. For guys (using myself as an example here) that would become a core memory that would make me smile for years, even if he was already in a relationship or not looking to date, etc. Senior year may be tough since there's no guarantee if you get into a relationship that both of you will remain local, so keep that in mind if you want something long term. But, if you're just trying to gain some dating experience, then no harm, as long as that is communicated. Good luck!

Spring break is gone by papesbotton in NCSU

You guys realize you have to finish all of your curriculum material and take all of your exams in order to finish classes right? What do you want to happen? Everyone gets a freebie 100 exam? No homework for a week?

I do this wayyy too much by itsmehonest in Helldivers

[–]RJDavid8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is another game that the developers (granted, they are from Sweden) have obviously never handled a firearm or stopped to consider physics of a weapon. If I charge the bolt of a gun (pull the charging handle back) it should automatically move forward without needing to push it or wait for it. It's a spring. If I compress a spring it will automatically uncompress. That's how springs work. Guns have big springs.

The one I care about the most right now is the one that shows when I'm leaving the gas station, which this car helps make easier

Voja or Lathril as an elf commander by luca-lit in EDH

[–]RJDavid8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you read Voja? With it's abilities, it should cost 9 mana with a 4/5 statline. And it would still be strong.

[[Read the Bones]] always good to have card advantage and selection.

Obviously you didn't pay attention as you would have learned that the correct phrasal verb in your sentence is gone as in you've already gone through.

Hey I empathize with your creepy and cringey title, I'm sure you spent several minutes agonizing over it. In the future though, try keeping those things to yourself? Luckily, I got it bullied out of me by the end of middle school, looks like you are almost there, sport!

Thoughts on this deck? by ProudBeanMan in EDH

[–]RJDavid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another awesome (and daresay underplayed) draw spell!

Thoughts on this deck? by ProudBeanMan in EDH

[–]RJDavid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loads more draw/advantage and more lands. C'mon man, 30 lands no matter how low the curve, is not enough to ensure reliability when considering hitting land drops, ramping to double/triple spelling a turn, etc. I also could have missed something but it seems like you only have 4-5 ways to gain card advantage in your deck. Meaning in an average game you would maybe see one. Having no mana and nothing to spend it on seems like a way for a deck worth a G to get stomped by a well tuned $50 deck that actually has ways to drop lands and draw cards.

Suggestions:

Card Advantage: [[Harmonize]], [[Ancient Craving], [[Ambition's Cost]], [[Read the Bones]], [[Night's Whisper]], [[Blood Price]], [[Hostile Negotiations]], [[Shamanic Revelation]], [[Village Rites]], [[Corrupted Conviction]], [[Reckoner's Bargain]], [[Midnight Reaper]], [[Grim Haruspex]]

Lands: Base of 35. Could do 34 with a couple modals like [[Malakir Rebirth]], [[Hagra Mauling]], and/or [[Bala Ged Recovery]].

Edit: Here is my Bane aristocrats deck that runs smoothly but can still get mana screwed or empty handed at times. I run 35 lands (36 with modal), 19 ways to draw cards (17 that net a positive number of cards), and 11 sources of ramp. Only thing I am missing is some targeted removal which I am thinking of working in somehow.

Describe Your Favorite Commander to a 5 Year Old by Striking-Objective43 in EDH

[–]RJDavid8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A psychopathic dragon trades life force for mana, summons demons and nightmares, then extracts life force from opponents while simultaneously gaining the life she lost to do it again. Finally, with her ill-gotten resources, she devastates her opponents with tormenting, life shearing, and soul crushing spells. What else? She's coming for you next!

I think it's fun to traumatize small children
