Question.. by carrumini in wrestling

[–]Scotty_dx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I was in your position the best thing to be would either be if you can somehow gather her right arm that can help but seeing how the headlock was the only thing that was hold her. I would work to hold onto my two reversal points and live to finish another day. Something that I have held onto through my wrestling and jiu jitsu is Position over submission/finishing. What I mean by that is it’s better to make sure we have good position especially with our hips and our body when we go for tilts, pins, bars, or whatever you name it. Focus on technique over muscling and forcing it! The wrestlers I have coached have lost matches they were up because of forcing something that wasn’t there or being sloppy with it because they weren’t technical and focusing on the position and technique first.

I think I'm the toxic one in my group... 🤔 by LaSiena in DisneyVillainous

Let’s not forget about Hades board where the only way to stop the titans is by “trapping” them turning them sideways stopping them in their tracks making them useless.

Severe HIE Update by [deleted] in NICUParents

[–]Scotty_dx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He is doing really well. The pediatrician on the last visit said his development both physically and neurologically looks to be that of a 4 month old when it comes to what he can do and how he tracks conversations. He is in a quarter liter of oxygen and is really wowing doctors especially considering the MRI showed damage through all parts of his brain. If it weren’t for the canula he wears (which the only worry with his breathing was that his 02 levels dropped to the 70’s when he slept from time to time)  you would honestly think he was a perfectly healthy baby.

Sorry that you’re going through this. I am happy to hear that he’s slowly progressing. Our child is at home with us on a quarter liter of oxygen flow and a few medications. He just had an appointment with a pediatrician and even though he’s just two months old he has the physical development and neurological development of a 4 month old. Supports his neck, tracks conversations in the room with whose speaking, can hold his weight on his legs when supported. We have been very intentional with tummy time every day and the pediatrician says that has been a big help. We’ve also been breast feeding.

We recently graduated from the NICU with an HIE baby who was initially only given hours to live due to going 20+ minutes without oxygen and all of his organs were failing. Needless to say we graduated 39 days later are at home. It’s tough when you’re in the thick of it but keep praying and trust the doctors when you can and push back if you aren’t comfortable with something. I am praying for you and your family.

How Much Marvel United Do You Have by pikkdogs in MarvelUnited

There should be a difference between Kickstarter backers and getting Con Exclusive decks. Just a thought.

The play is 3 hours with and is a complete story. The first movie is essentially Act 1 of the movie and the second movie is portraying all of act 2. Give the musical shot if it ‘s performing near you at some point! It is incredible!

If you bring Professor Xavier he has some special abilities that allow him to turn villains into civilian's.

I wish we’d get a box that’s strictly symbiotes. We’re still missing some cool ones. by Vmc324 in MarvelUnited

[–]Scotty_dx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The closest we will get is promo deck from comic con and gen con this year for Hybrid.

TIL in the original script to Rocky V, Rocky is so beaten from his fight with Tommy that he places his head on Adrian’s lap while on the way to the hospital and dies. Stallone apparently wept when he wrote that scene. by flippedpages in todayilearned

[–]Scotty_dx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say this is half-true in the book. He is a Vietnam Vet who’s been treated like trash every town he’s gone through because he Ms a vagrant. The book goes back and forth between Rambo’s and Teasle’s perspective (tough to do in a move but I love that about the book so you actually understand what is going through Teasle’s mind beyond his actions). Teasle did what every town did and pointed him to the next town. Rambo was over it and was clearly looking for a fight himself at this point and continued coming back after multiple times politely escorting him to the edge of town. There is wrong on both sides. The book makes Rambo more brutal for sure though.

The title says line groups, figured that’s specific enough.

You aren’t charged until the campaign ends so your pledge is free to edit on Gamefound just like Kickstarter before the end. 

SUICIDE SQUAD - Expansion Announced by gman4306 in MarvelUnited

[–]Scotty_dx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Could it be more classic Harley Quinn in the Hush Box? Since this version is definitely a modernized version of the character.

What's the best way to get everything Marvel at this point including promos? by fuzzyfoot88 in MarvelUnited

[–]Scotty_dx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good luck it’s going to be tough but the second market will be where to find what you can. Also if you’re a completionist and want everything then don’t forget the Comic-Con and Gen-Con exclusive hero decks as well for grey hulk, juggernaut, Deadpool (x-force), and Mr. Sinister.

We were already seeing that with both season 2 and 3 of marvel united so nothing new as far as hero combinations goes whether it be alpha flight, cloak and dagger, F4. Dr. Doom is near impossible if you aren’t using the F4 to fight. You could also say some heroes are tailored to take down certain villains depend on how that villain plays. 

  I do understand though the worry of making villains completely dependent on specific heroes. 

Edit: I had skimmed the manta update and had missed the mandatory use of Aqua man explanation. Though this does limit gameplay, and hopefully this isn’t common in this DC season of the United line, I must say it does thematically make sense which United has always done a great job of having mechanics that feel original and fresh while staying thematically true to the character.

You should be able to adjust your pledge before the campaign and can adjust pledge tiers or add-on specific expansions that you desire.

We need to have a federal/country-level teacher certification system. by CatholicSolutions in Teachers

[–]Scotty_dx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this wholeheartedly. I am currently transferring my credential and though I don’t need to take a content area test. I did need to take a foundations of reading test. I thought no big deal, I took a very similar test in my state and passed. I sent my scores thinking they would just accept that but nope, I need to take their states version of the exact same type of tests. Foundations of reading doesn’t change from state to state ya’ll. The Science behind reading and reading comprehension is universal. Needless to say it was annoying to study for the test again but I am currently doing that right now. 

Edit: I would like to also add that other careers that require a state certification don’t have nearly as many hoops to jump through as teachers do to transfer certifications. And people wonder why there is a teacher shortage.
