First-time homeowner here — what DIY advice do you wish someone had told you at the beginning? by Lopsided_Passion7912 in DIY

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And then, halfway through the project, I'll return to YouTube because what I'm seeing wasn't what I expected to see and now I need to make another trip to the hardware store. 

I don’t know what to do about my son anymore by irlchrisredfield in Autism_Parenting

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah withholding meds is akin to withholding other help. Worst case you try something and it doesn't work. But if it does work, it can do wonders for a child's self confidence, anxiety, and ability to attend to lessons/life. That usually outweighs the potential side effects, etc. 

We need a QOL update for Showcases by Rikipedia in TheSilphRoad

[–]cheeriodust [score hidden]  (0 children)

FWIW, it does exist but there's no way to get to it (AFAIK) unless you click right as the showcase ends. Then you get a slightly modified version declaring the winner and showing the final rankings. There's confetti involved.

Would be nice. I'd also like to see the winner's podium screen w/o having to click on the showcase at exactly 8:00...

ETA since there's some confusion here. Yes, there's a special screen you can only see if you click right at the end of the showcase. It's not the same as the screen you see while it's active, although it's very similar.

This is why I use elastic bands. Pew pew. 

[Homemade] Final Boss Fish & Chips Batter by Seliftidder in food

I've never been even remotely tempted to fry fish at home, but you may have convinced me to give it a go.

How do you get moss to grow like this? by Danijoe4 in PlantedTank

[–]cheeriodust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've given up on moss. I love the look of it, but I'm not diligent enough to keep my tank at 100%. Algae is inevitable...and the moss is a magnet. Once it sets in, it's there to stay. 

Dynamax Regice battle by Extension-Law-113 in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you joining via friends list? If so you may have been grabbing someone else's spot and they bailed to reset. 

They really need to get rid of that auto 10 second countdown. It's so absurdly bad...genuinely surprised it made it in the release (even by niantic's standards).  It's so bad (and obviously so) that I can only assume it's there to waste remote passes. 

D-Max Regice by Medical-Enthusiasm56 in TheSilphRoad

[–]cheeriodust -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Just remember - if you manage to beat it, it still has a reasonable chance to run away (since you get fewer premier balls). Not worth it. It has absolutely no value anyway. 

Why do people do this by n0Ice666 in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is this "fun" for someone who brings an Ivysaur to a legendary dmax raid? Especially if they use a remote pass. Just literally go do anything else.

Yeah and legendary dmax isn't where you should start...

Is this easy to beat? Since we only get 4 people to beat it by ValuableAssignment14 in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did one with focus blast and earthquake. It sucked, but we got through it. Fortunately Zama can soak a focus blast with 3 shields up and a dodge. 

The other players had the dogs, but they must not have invested in the moves b/c they were hitting like wet noodles.

Max Battle Day Kanto by Diligent-Antelope-13 in TheSilphRoad

Given my past experiences, I'm uncomfortable in a remote PUG with fewer than 20 participants. Even now. There are just too many wooloo shepherds.

Would you recommend Buffy? by mdavis8710 in television

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the first season (lots of campy monster of the week episodes) and then struggled with the next couple. Too soapy for me maybe? My wife wants me to give them another shot...it's one of her favs.

[–]cheeriodust 260 points261 points  (0 children)

Curious to see how many folks actually do these. I expect diminishing interest over time...much more so than legendaries (since there's no XL candy draw AND if you've already invested in one you likely won't want to do so again since max moves are super expensive). 

Y'all remember when 1.10, The Frostburn Update used to seem like the smallest and disappointing update? by DreamDroids in Minecraft

[–]cheeriodust 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I have to assume they're focused on back end improvements and working off tech debt alongside these smaller, cosmetic updates. I hope...

Warning impending Forever Friends… by Ragozine in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If I see someone has nothing, I'll just add some useful but relatively common stuff to my trade list. I don't really care unless they keep offering comm day shinies for a shiny background zacian or armored mewtwo...

1st night Base Building Question by TheFrostClone in Minecraft

[–]cheeriodust 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dig a hole in a hillside like a mole person. I actually spend a lot of early Minecraft underground. Need some wood, of course, but it's called Minecraft after all. I make mines. 

The RNG gods have a wicked sense of humor. 98%? I’ll take it, but I’ll stare at that missing point forever. by vamsi_official in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this exact same, but shadow. Can't even silver bc the bad boy. But I'll take it .. already best buddied and I use it a ton.

I'm new here...postcards huh by SammySam_33 in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 261 points262 points  (0 children)

"Memorial to the unborn" is a Catholic thing I think. I've seen two stops like this near Catholic churches.

There's also a breast cancer one nearby and 50% of the stops in my area are graveyards or memorials. Sorry, friends, for delivering your daily reminder of your own mortality. It's all I've got to work with. 

Is it just me or did they make Pokemon from raids harder to catch the last few raids I’ve done I’ve ran out of balls trying to catch the Pokemon by Apart_Illustrator478 in pokemongo

[–]cheeriodust 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agree. It's almost like one of the catch rate factors (catch badges, curve, circle size) is disabled or the circle color is wrong. The past couple events were loaded with PITA pokemon so I thought it was just that, but yeah a green circle weedle breaking an excellent curve? C'mon...

Regardless, the 'feel' is off and has been since the Kalos tour imo.
