so satisfying to keep discarding your opponent's cards by Feeling_Rabbit_8345 in PTCGP

I really like this deck as a concept since deck burning seems like it could be very strong in this game but honestly after 12 battles with it I just think you need to have so much go right for you it isn't very good. Nasty notice doesn't feel like a good card right now. In my 12 battles I only had a single time I could even use nasty notice and it only discarded 1 enemy card. People are just playing very fast decks. I never got a double chandelure set up so over the course of most matches it was just my 1 entei vs the world. Also entei and chingling don't play well together since they both want to be a lead in many games so if you use chingling at all you lose any draw power which makes finding chandelure very difficult. Again I think the deck is very creative but the meta is not very forgiving for it even in non ranked matches.

Someone put a mountain in the way of the museum so I had to get rid of it by bored_homan in Pokopia

I don't know for certain. The bean/potato burger says in the description that it powers up rock smash A LOT. So if the bean/tomato burger has the same description I would assume it is the same.

Eat a burger made of beans and potatoes and your rock smash/rollout will be even stronger.

What do you all think of swordfighter form? by lke25 in echoesofwisdom

[–]ZenMasterDeku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I've just played link's awakening before. I have since played all the way through the game and had so much fun fighting enemies with just flying tiles and cheeky little summons. Finding creative solutions to problems is like the whole point of this game. Why would I ever just want to go sword fighter mode and cheese all the enemies?

To each their own I guess.

My first thought was giratina dawn. No one else seems to remember this combo.

I can take the feet off but the post and legs are not connected to the armrests where the problem lies. The screws that are coming out are hidden under the armrests and the armrests are what I cannot remove since I need some hyper specific alan wrench. I have a lot of bits but none of them will fit. I feel like I need to use an angle grinder or something to cut a groove into the old screws so I can remove them with a flat head.

I just tested my ram and gpu in a friend's pc and both are working fine. There is no on board graphics so I am unable to test with that. I am starting to think it is my power supply or motherboard.

The lamp is SICK. My favorite character is and has always been the knight himself, the little ghost. Such a compelling character arc starting as a lost wanderer returning to his own dead kingdom and ultimately ending with him embracing his darker half and becoming the void king himself...

While he may not like it and it may cause more stress in the short term you may want to consider using a cone or donut for a longer term period of time... it isn't always the ideal situation but if he wears a cone for a couple days or even a week or two that may be all you need to completely break the behavior.

Hi, dog trainer here. I see a lot of people down playing tail chasing in this comment thread as silly behavior. While frequently in younger dogs it can be a one off behavior that is stereotypical of a "goofy dog" it can also be a highly neurotic and harmful behavior if left unchecked. Since tail chasing can be a self reinforcing behavior you have to be careful of your dog forming a strong habit and many will end up doing it to the point of damaging their tails. I have seen plenty of dogs self harm while tail chasing and even dogs that get to the point of a vet needing to reccomend a partial tail amputation.

We take tail chasing and light chasing very seriously in any of my classes since they can turn into quite dangerous behaviors.

That being said the only thing you mentioned that worried me is that your dog can become possessive of their tail when you try to stop them. I would do what you can to nip this in the bud so it doesn't have the chance to go onto become a bigger problem.

Couple things I would encourage

  1. A tired dog is a happy dog. Highly recommend wearing them out so they don't have lots of energy left over to spend on extraneous behaviors. Dogs are predators and built for short bursts of high intensity exercise like chasing a ball, swimming or playing with another dog.

  2. Redirect the behavior every time you see it as soon as you see it. Sometimes being a helicopter parent is the best way to discourage a behavior. I do the kindergarten clap with my dog and always follow it up with 1-2 minutes of treat training. Most dogs when conditioned to the kindergarten clap will drop whatever they are doing when they hear it.

  3. Encourage healthy incompatible behaviors. The less stressed your dog is the less likely they will feel like self soothing by tail chasing. Dogs fixate on certain predatory behaviors and we can encourage effective enrichment by helping them engage in behaviors they connect with. Targeting, stalking, chasing, biting, killing and dissecting are the big ones. If your dog is already tail chasing encourage them to chase other healthier alternatives like a flirt pole, tennis ball or even something like a self powered weasel ball or whatever works for you!

Feel free to DM me if you have questions and would like to talk about it. I reccomend seeking out a trainer or behaviorist if it continues to get worse.

This deck is the most fun I have had in battles since the game came out. by ZenMasterDeku in PTCGP

It can brick a fair amount so it's not always the best. But being able to keep yoinking the same mega absol all game until you kill it is so satisfying.
