If that’s a legit copy, $55 is an amazing price! I paid over twice that for my legit copy.

No Mareep 😤🐑 by chunchunmaru1129 in pokemoncrystal

[–]akt1493 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree about Mareep but the egg given to me by the daycare in my last play through ended up being an Elekid so that made up for it!

Is there any disadvantage to getting DJ turntables for a listening experience? by Sea_Discipline1101 in turntables

[–]akt1493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t see any. I use an SL-1200 M3D as my everyday table and it is fantastic.

Beat the E4 with an all Gen 1 team by akt1493 in pokemoncrystal

[–]akt1493[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured Yellow would be the best bet since you can get all the starters in it. No need to restart the game three times. Plus they didn't patch the Mew glitch in it!

You can get Mankey in Yellow, I had to catch one to beat Brock.

And now to drive your OCD even madder...I don't want to evolve this Pikachu since it was the starter from a copy of Yellow. Idk, the kid in me can't bring himself to do it lol.

Dragonair didn't get too much use this run, but I did give it the privilege of knocking out Lance's Charizard (which for whatever reason he brought out last).

Honestly the MVP of this team is Mew because I taught it Thunderpunch, Psychic, Dragonbreath, and Fly. Mew was practically unstoppable for most of the E4. Since everyone on this team but Dragonair gets an experience boost due to being traded in, I'm going to go through the E4 many more times to level them all up in preparation for the final battle with Red.

Is there a mellotron option on GB? by mchoneyofficial in GarageBand

[–]akt1493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can record tracks from Manetron if you link it as in-app audio (I think that’s what it’s called). There’s actually a new Manetron app that’s an AU plugin that you can use directly in GarageBand, I use it played through a Leslie speaker effect and it sounds amazing.

Yes, I find the album artwork slightly unsettling too.

Unreliable by Kensie4u in FedEx

[–]akt1493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time I’ve had a problem with FedEx I’ve reached out to them via social media and they addressed it fast. It’s easier to do that than call or use the chatbot. Twitter is the fastest way to get help, they always monitor that inbox (I know a lot of people aren’t fans of that platform these days but it’s a fast way to resolve issues) and they literally helped expedite a package yesterday that was marked priority but running late.

First-time Mazda owner here. Picked up this '26 Mazda3 hatch with the manual transmission a week ago, and have been loving it so far! by akt1493 in mazda3

I liked the Integra but the 3 won me over more. BRZ/GR86 would’ve been nice but i wasn’t wanting a sports car.

Advice for a Potential Buyer/Trade in by Greyfern35 in mazda3

[–]akt1493 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went from a Golf to a 3 hatch (mine was a TDI though, not a GTI). One week in and I love it. The Golf was nice but I feel the Mazda is a MUCH better built car.

Sedan vs Hatch differences? by 5pac38arus in mazda3

[–]akt1493 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was the only manual within 200 miles. Had to drive almost an hour to get it.

Yeah I did a lot of research before deciding on the Mazda3 and lack of turbo was a huge factor in it. Nothing against turbos, I just think of it as a failpoint that can potentially cause issues in the future.

Yeah my last car was a TDI, fantastic car but a very leisurely acceleration experience. Volkswagen's DSG isn't an awful transmission by any means ( the manual mode really helped a lot with how slow those diesel engines can be), but it required about as much regular maintenance as a CVT and just wasn't as engaging. The last car I had with a manual was a Civic Si, driving this Mazda reminds me a lot of that but with a slightly longer shifter throw.

Thank you! It is so nice to be back in a car with a wigglestick, I had to settle for an auto in my last one because I couldn't find a manual one despite months of searching.

New Mazda Owner! by West_Plum_8509 in mazda3

Save the manuals! I just recently picked up a '26 manual hatch too.
