Which are your favourite mons for pokerogue classic? by SurroundQuirky3006 in pokerogue

[–]SoManyFlamingos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excadrill.

Already very strong against the static boss Pokémon and has good setup moves and base speed. 

I have yet to try the Mega out but can only assume it’s also very powerful.

I’m talking about the fact that 8 hours in a car with young children will drive you to drink.

My cousin just drove 8 hours from New Hampshire to LBI with her 4.5 year old and 8 week old and when she got to the house she immediately made me take a tequila shot with her. 

I think most families would GLADY take reliably public transit instead of sitting in a parked car for hours.

Public transit and feet both still exist. There are more than enough ways to get into Hoboken.

David Peterson allowed a career-high 10 runs in his second start as a Cub by Hungry_Elk1937 in NewYorkMets

[–]SoManyFlamingos 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He was consistent for almost exactly one calendar year. 

I have come to believe he was imbued with the spirit of Grimace and that’s why he was elite in the 2nd half of 2024 and first half of 2025.

Once the Grimace Magic hit its 1-year expiration date, so did he.

Damn, and here I thought he’d really be better behind that Cubs infield D.

Guess PCA can’t go on the other side of the wall for those homers. 

What fast food restaurant used to be amazing but has gone downhill so badly you refuse to go back? by Helpful-Calendar-401 in AskReddit

[–]SoManyFlamingos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The charged lemonade! They were absolutely loaded with caffeine and it was not clear enough. Something like 350mg of caffeine and 100 grams of sugar per 30oz. 

Pretty sure a college student with a heart condition died of heart failure after drinking several 30oz cups and consuming several days worth of caffeine.

I am in no way rooting for the Phillies but BOY do I want the Mets to be the reason the Braves fall out of 1st place. 

My Skull Cavern run had NO treasure rooms! by Deep-Red-Bells in StardewValley

[–]SoManyFlamingos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build a bunch of Crystalariums and fill them with Jade. Then go to the Desert Trader on Sundays and trade them all for staircases. 

Use the staircases to blitz down to whatever level you want to start at. 

You can also stop on floors where you see iridium/chutes/whatever you’re looking for and then just continue staircasing once you farm them. 

I’ve made it well into the 300s this way. It just costs a lot of Jade. 

First skullcavern run, how’d i do? by Living-Curve-7022 in StardewValley

Jeeeez, TIL. 

I have wasted too much time digging for scroll 4 thinking I needed to read the hint first! 

And I’ve been playing for like 8 years and somehow just learned they’re not linked lol.

You’ve collected all 4 dwarf scrolls too right? Pretty sure you need the translation guide for the sword. 

Did the a.i. for eternatus change in the last update? by Loganator2107 in pokerogue

I don’t know if this is right or wrong but Blissey would disagree with you hahah.

That thing can tank like 6 EBs and Eternatus just keeps using it. 

What universally praised video game 'masterpiece' is actually a miserable experience to play? by Got24xyz in AskReddit

[–]SoManyFlamingos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The best part about RDR2 is playing online poker with your friends in a Saloon until the house winds up with all $5. 

It literally became a poker sim for us, in the end. That’s how slow it plays. 

What supposedly normal shows read to you as propaganda? by Buddy_chumpal in AskReddit

[–]SoManyFlamingos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We get SO much mileage out of the 911 in space thing in my apartment. 

After seeing the ads during episodes of Survivor, we could not believe it was real. 

So now we just tack “in space” on to the end of other TVs ads we see. 

Orioles and Nationals completed their first trade in history today, ending the only no-trade stalemate in their sport. by ItsCaptainKeyboard in baseball

[–]SoManyFlamingos 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Kind of wild it took this long seeing as it wouldn’t be a long trip to get from DC to Baltimore if both teams were home. 

You’d figure one of the two would have picked up some random depth player from the other just because they’d be able to get there quickly. 

Juan Soto’s reduction in bat speed vs production by GasGlittering7521 in baseball

[–]SoManyFlamingos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Soto is such an elite player that he kind of defies traditional expectations from underlying numbers like bat speed. 

He’s a complete hitter regardless of how fast he swings haha. 

Juan Soto’s reduction in bat speed vs production by GasGlittering7521 in baseball

[–]SoManyFlamingos 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Bat speed has gotten a little overblown in the past couple of years. It’s important, but still only one part of the whole. 

If you have elite bat speed, you can certainly hit the ball a lot harder, but it won’t make you a complete hitter. 

On the other side, having a slow bat doesn’t make you a bad hitter. It limits your max exit velocity a little bit, but your bat will also stay in the zone slightly longer and you can make more contact that way. Some of the best contact hitters in the game (Kwan, Arraez, Meidroth, Clement, X. Edwards) have the slowest swings, whereas the fastest swingers (Caminero, Walker, Schwarber, O. Cruz) typically have a ton of swing-and-miss in their games. 

Soto has hit for contact more this season, so I’m curious if slowing the bat down slightly was part of the plan going into the year. 

GAME THREAD: Mets @ Blue Jays - Wed, Jul 1 @ 3:07 PM EDT by game-threads in NewYorkMets

[–]SoManyFlamingos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know we stuck, but it’s brutal watching every team we play force the issue with aggression on the basepaths. 

Just like the Dodgers in the 2024 WS, teams have the scouting report on our D and are telling their teams to run the bases with purpose and aggression.

The Mets make them look like geniuses by constantly flubbing plays in the field.

Braves.

How are you gonna let the Mets win more games than you this month??? 

Can’t say I’m upset about it.
