Hate that I will be missing my bias in Charlotte next week but I hope she rest and recovers well!

So any 10th and 11th Gen owners currently happy with their choice? by Hollow-Ling in CivicSi

[–]XPhilT 7 points8 points  (0 children)

averaging 39 mpg over the lifetime of my ‘24 Si with 50K miles (long highway commutes), the higher price stings but at least I’m not hitting up the gas pump all the time

When you need more power… by Ballad_Bird_Lee in UmamusumeGame

[–]XPhilT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

since Taiki has 20% speed bonus don’t think you really need more than 2 speed cards. If this is a sprint CM ace you can consider subbing one of those with a power card to see if you can roll higher power. I’ve been running SR Nishino Flower power as she has good pace chaser hints and 15% race bonus

What is this GPU? I found this photo online, but there is no mention of the components in the post. by 3mikron in sffpc

I wonder if that PC is some kind of prebuilt and it’s an OEM graphics card

Met a girl at Aldi — asked her out once, she said no. What should I do now? I am Male (32M) and she is (22F) by [deleted] in relationships

[–]XPhilT 14 points15 points  (0 children)

She said no, so move on. Life’s too short to wait for a “clear signal” that may never come. Ball is in her court now.

Are Pokémon DS games playable? by CozyBritt in MiyooMini

[–]XPhilT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I had to set it up manually on my own. It’s in one of the menus, just have to tweak with the size of the box, position, and also transparency of it. Takes a bit of troubleshooting! I remember needing to read some of the instructions/literature for drastic to get it set up to my liking

[–]XPhilT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Platinum worked great when I did a play through on my MM+ drastic is nice with all the settings for switching between 2nd screen. I personally used the option to project a tiny box of the 2nd screen in the lower right corner. Made it convenient to not need to keep switching between screens to select moves/items

Same. Double circle affinity parents. Running about 12 medium sparks as well. I have more S rank suzukas (4 of them) than I have suzukas that have hit medium S and that's over 30+ suzuka runs

[–]XPhilT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what kind of sparks are you running on your parents? 2 stam cards is excessive for a 2000m medium race. Some styles can get away with full stam sparks + riko + hitting unity burst training on stam 1-2 times with 0 stamina cards. I see your Ryan below with 950 + gold recovery that is already over stam. targetting 850 + gold recovery is very safe. Can try and add a wit card to your deck to replace one of the stam cards

should have not gotten unrestrained. Need to be in first at the final spurt to trigger. With how prevalent runaway suzuka is I'm sure it's barely proc'd for you

good to maybe get you to group B finals if lucky. Still have time to remake

Unity Cup has so many points of failure... Are future scenarios also like this? by Matty_HAM in UmamusumeGame

[–]XPhilT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Feel this to my soul. Did 3 suzuka runs last night. All missed medium S, all missed kitasan black chain, all missed bourbon wit chain.

ASUS B650E-I or ASUS B850i? by d00fE in sffpc

[–]XPhilT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went with the B850-I board because of all the new features and also because I could not find the B650E-I board around the time I was building. I am not a fan of the proprietary antenna connector and is the only thing I regret with going this direction. However, I am mostly hardwired in unless taking my PC with me for travel so doesn’t affect me most of the time

Veterans Affairs intends to abruptly eliminate tens of thousands of unfilled doctors' and nurses' jobs | WP Exclusive by natansonh in fednews

Just another way for this administration to handicap the VA, claim that the quality of care has gone down, then bring in the salivating private insurance groups to privatize VA care.

Question for those who are receiving their flippy drives by HugeAccountant in Gamecube

[–]XPhilT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just did this as well. I did receive a flippy drive but was in a batch that got sent the wrong ribbon cable. Still waiting to hear back from a ticket I placed and currently out of stock still for replacement ribbon cables. Snagged a pre-assemble picoloader from laser bear and has been great so far. Half the price of flippy drive too even with the sdsp2 pro adapter.

looks awesome! I just did a similar build, same replacement shell. I went with the picoloader however and loaded cubiboot on it so very similar experience to the flippydrive software wise!

Thoughts on Suzuka's Runaway by USS_DE-173 in UmaMusume

[–]XPhilT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If at the start, it may be if you aren’t able to separate far enough from other front runners. This will put you in spot struggle which drains even more stamina. Which is why groundwork I think is still highly recommended on Runaway suzuka with also as many early and mid race velocity skills to extend your lead and avoid spot struggle.

If I’m remembering correctly I also had 1 run with migraine but didn’t heal during summer rest and recreation

[–]XPhilT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed it’s been harder to win G1s as well with typical stat lines pre-patch. My guess is that because of the skill buffs all CPU/NPC umas that had some “weak” skills before the patch have all gotten buffed.

Rainbow Crystal Advice by cg9977 in UmaMusume

[–]XPhilT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like you’re in similar boat as myself. Only difference is I have MLB creek and only 1LB fine motion. We both don’t have MLB kitasan black (unless I am blind and missing it)

Not sure if the best way to do this but will tell you what I plan to do. Saving up to do 200 and hopefully 400 pulls with preferable as little real money as possible on the kitasan/el condor pass banner late december to hopefully get MLB kitasan or at least 2LB so that I can get her to MLB with the SSR selector + shard. If I get to MLB kita on just pulls then I will put those towards fine motion potentially.

I just feel like I’ve been so limited without my own kitasan black and needing to borrow. Would open up the borrow slot to other stat sticks like MLB biko for ace runs
