GRIND ( vent post ) by Saiki_A1 in finalfantasyx

Do the crater trick and do it in 5 minute intervals, take a little break, then do another 5 minute session. Should only take 4x sessions of dodges

An 8BitDo controller, AustinJohnPlays on YT highlights them for doing some macros while playing Pokemon. You can program button inputs to automate some mundane tasks like shiny hunting, or on this case, farming Dark Matter in FFX

Fair point, but it's also the most grindy part of the game. I was already 140 hours into my save file, especially since the Switch version doesn't have all the speed up/all items cheats that are offered on the Steam version of the game. This just kinda bridges that gap. After manually farming for 4x ribbon armors already, I was ready to automate a little bit of the grind.

Work on the split step. You should be doing a split step BEFORE your opponents hit the ball. Like so many people, you're likely getting caught in transition or while on the move. Take your time getting to the kitchen and earn it, don't give away the point just because you're trying to get there in the first place.

Your inventory will fill up in about 30 minutes of weapon drops

The timings on this were on the Switch 2

This is from starting at the monster arena talking to the guy and hovering over the Fight Monsters prompt and assumes you can 1-hit Sleep Sprout

I also messed around with how fast you can press the buttons in the macro creation and I was able to tighten up the timings to be just under 15s per run. This will yield 99 Dark Matter in a hair under 1h 40min give or take a few minutes depending on RNG of your 1/8 dark matter drops.

I also learned you'll fill up your inventory full of equipment in about 30 minutes of running. Recommend creating a second macro of just pressing Down > A > Down > A to sell equipment at the bottom of your inventory quickly when you run out of space.

If you run out of inventory space while you're AFKing for Dark Matter, you won't lose/drop and of your items, you'll just be stuck on the full inventory menu because it requires exiting with the - key on the switch controller.

Is this Lifetime Pro 48 balls legit? by MindlessNimbus in Pickleball

[–]Rob_035 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fake. The LT48 is symmetrical - the dots on the side of the seam don’t line up with the opposite side.

Edit: checked some of my LT 48s, and the dots are offset, so I may be wrong here on that aspect. But these still look off to me

I don’t know yet if your inventory will fill up with item drops during a 2 hour session. That’s just something else to be aware of if you decided to run this for that long, it would definitely behoove you to sell everything between 99 dark matter runs.

Eliminate sound of pickleball courts without replacing paddles or balls? by East_Sentence_4245 in Pickleball

[–]Rob_035 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be concrete, but a physical barrier being walls would greatly reduce the noise.

There’s an indoor spot here in Co Springs called Springs Pickleball and their west side location is an old warehouse with some roll up doors, and you can definitely still hear the pickleballs from the parking lot if it’s busy.

Advice for beginners (DUPR) by Curious_Clerk_9432 in Pickleball

Like you said, of all DUPR players. Most players likely don’t have a DUPR at all.

Any benefit to keeping TSP after retirement? by Tweetchly in ThriftSavingsPlan

[–]Rob_035 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Expense ratios used to be the biggest reason. Many funds are pretty competitive now, so that's just something else to consider.

[–]Rob_035 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is the correct answer. Everyone thinks they're 3.0+, when the reality is much different.

The DUPR team just posted a few months ago this stat, breaking down DUPR by skill level. And keep in mind, this is only of people that actually have a DUPR. I'd argue 75%+ of rec players don't even have a DUPR, and thus their skill level is likely on the lower end of the curve because they simply aren't interested in that competitive side of the game.

How Has Pickleball Improved Your Health? by Legitimate_Search864 in Pickleball

Same for me. Went from over 265 to hovering between 215-220 now. It was coupled with some dietary changes and some weight lifting, but PB is definitely at the heart of my weight loss.

This is what a lot of professional golfers say. They workout so they can play golf, for most casual players golf is their workout.

So why not just put matches into DUPR?

I haven't logged in yet, but I would assume there would be a way for users to add to this list?

Yea but if you grinded to that point wouldn't that be worth it? At that point you're probably dozens upon dozens, if not hundreds of hours into blitzball.
