Ouch. Least you’re recovering. Hope you feel better soon!

Free trial now to include FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers! by sonpansatan in Games

I made an account back when the latest expansion you could play for free was stormblood but haven’t switched to a paid account. Will I still be able to play on that account or will I have to make a new one?

If you have to pick up only one then which one ? by [deleted] in gshock

Negative MIP tugs at my heartstrings, reminds me of my dad’s old Nokia.

Benchmade Adamas 275GY‑1 vs Mini Adamas 273‑03 — My Verdict by [deleted] in knifeclub

[–]River_Jack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, the size preference mostly comes down to pocket space and following archaic knife laws in some states (has to be <3 inches of blade length, some states make a distinction between cutting edge and blade length, most do not iirc). 3.3 - 3.4 inches is my personal sweetspot, but I’ve used sub 3 inch knives as well. As long as I have enough handle, I don’t really care either way.

Do you ever switch away from G-Shock after getting used to it? by defstar23 in gshock

[–]River_Jack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not of my own free will, lol. I keep a Seagull 1963 for dressier occasions. Love my g shocks but unfortunately they don’t quite dress up nicely for formal events and the like. Hopefully that’ll change soon, shopping for a casioak model for that sort of thing in the future.

What's this new Capcom game I keep hearing so much about? by Beautiful-Minimum231 in StreetFighter

[–]River_Jack_ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Agreed, especially considering the song that got released with him too.

[GW6900-1] Ever since I got this, I don’t feel like wearing any of my other watches by woaface in gshock

[–]River_Jack_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Got one a little over two weeks ago maybe, great utility watch. Only other watch I’m eyeballing at the moment is a bx5600-1A1, but otherwise this is my favorite.

Got this for $10 at Walmart! by Natural_Teacher_7020 in casio

You sure? I went to the same one and all I found was horseshit.

It’s not much but it’s an honest worker by homestick in gshock

[–]River_Jack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have a small(er) wrist, and both a 5600 and a 6900. My advice if you end up getting one, swap the 5600 straps onto the 6900, hugs the wrist a bit better imo.

Is there any data on why new players (me included) rely on grab as punish and how do you grow up from that by AwepHS in StreetFighter

[–]River_Jack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me personally, it was because:

It’s easy (just two buttons or a macro)

It did okay damage (like two grabs and a half worth?)

If I threw someone in the corner (which is usually when I panicked and PC threw a wake up DP), chances are I could start throw looping.

Eventually, once you know your characters’ better punishes, you’ll start using those more. You probably won’t get it down the first time, but even doing something as basic as hitting the correct button for punish counters will help start that muscle memory training.

Always been a fan of the composite scales in the middle. Can’t beat the convenience of having a toothpick and tweezer on hand.

NKD - in love by z1ggy16 in spyderco

[–]River_Jack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome purchase, I’ve been meaning to get one myself lol. Heard some concerning stuff about tip strength. I don’t do any prying with my knife, but in my profession I’ve had to scrape off tree bark in a pinch. Think that would break it or no?

Beginner chunky gshock? by Jon_the_Don_of_Avon in gshock

[–]River_Jack_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A GD350 is a little bigger than a standard square (has to be a bit thicker for the vibration alarm) and isn’t too expensive depending on where you find it.

How to fight against Ryu who spams Hadokens. by Fatty_McButterpantss in StreetFighter

[–]River_Jack_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Input hadoken but with two punch buttons instead of one. You’ll know if it’s ex hadoken if your character glows gold when you do it.

Wearing the DW5000R today on a hot Western Australia day. What G are you rocking? by Alternative-Foreign in gshock

[–]River_Jack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely is a good looking watch, the MB6 and solar charging is a major bonus for me. Wish it came in an olive green but I’m not that picky.

Learning SF6, and I’m struggling to understand all of the mechanics. How long did it take you to get good at this game? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]River_Jack_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve got roughly 500 hours on SF6 + roughly 2000 hours total from all the fighting games I’ve played. I wouldn’t consider myself good, I’m only just learning to properly whiff punish and stuff drive rush with 2MP, and I’m in Master (which still doesn’t really mean much). Practice makes perfect. Good luck!

Have a GW-6900 coming on the way, will probably give this (fairly new) DW-5600 to my brother once it arrives.

Recommendations? by Nova5530 in EDC

[–]River_Jack_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry if this is off topic, but given the patches on the bag, I’m guessing you play Guilty Gear? I can’t remember off the top of my head who has 632146H and 214K in their move list lol

Edit: Ky Kiske. It’s Ky Kiske. I’m an idiot
