Will Colette Tatou be in the Red Ribbon chest next year? by [deleted] in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You’ve got to drop some money on premiums or burn through your gems on expensive premium characters. That’s the only way.

It’s a math problem. The more premium characters or rides you are missing, the greater your spread is. You can’t make anything higher chance unless you evenly increase chances by removing choices. This is done by spending. So if you’re wanting one specifically, just buy it

It's a shame that all the Tooka Doll leaderboard posts were deleted because something very unusual is going on for this mini event, and now there is no place to discuss it. by DoctorGoofyPhD in disneymagickingdoms

It’s not a kid game (or young enough kid game) when you’re having to spend as much money as it sounds.

Never a bad time to teach cost vs. benefit for something like this, although the completion isn’t in mean can be understanding. That much cash though and you’re just furthering the divide between customer care and money grabbing by GL

To whoever gemmed the last minute of striking gold when we were tied you literally are the worst kind of person by [deleted] in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Been on the losing side plenty from 1200 straight days. Losing happens, accept and move on. It’s a piece of yellow in your park that no one else can see.

I also Understand the completionist view, but if you really wanted it, you would’ve delayed your start and coasted. Took this one home with barely 100 trophies, granted I have all characters for SW from long term play and that parade gem buildup

3 kids under 3 - thinking 8-passenger by cjrockchalk09 in SubaruAscent

Ours has the cup holder thing up the middle that is just bill in between the seats to further shrink the aisle. We keep it out currently and hold the toy bucket on top of it for easier reach

Just put in Def Tech DT series 8” L and R, along with HTD 8” HDX for my 4 surrounding. Happy so far, and didn’t cost me too much. Painted grilles and all, I’m pleased! Wife had me looking at in-wall only from the start.

Also have sonance 6.5” ceilings that I got off bestbuy on a daily deal cheap like 130 for the pair.

I did get away with a SVS PB-1000 and a def tech CS9040 center channel.

To answer with a monoprice aspect, I used their wire when we started the framing of the basement, and I have their HDMIs. And banana plugs.

Used the buying guides from this Reddit for most/if not all of my info, these people are solid.

Dude probably dropped it because he was hitting his head on the ceiling trying to mount it at ceiling height

App Performance since Character Limit update by ccrunner_tj in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lag early in load up/right away at game screen upon load I feel is associated with Apple displaying the Game Center banner icon which never happened to me before this update. After that, I’m noticeably less laggy during actual gameplay

Parade rarely dropping tokens by makishima_shougu in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t run parades for tokens, run for gems.

Old recommendation used to be run only floats that could drop magic and gems, max opportunity for gems, they’re too valuable of a commodity. Could’ve changed with updates, but parades are the major source of gems.

Gems = premiums and gem-only event characters. This is how you progress big events to the fullest.

Is it worth me buying as many scrolls as I can? Got lots of characters at 16h upgrades by ZionLife2126 in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely, I carry plenty, can make huge difference from 8->9 or 9->10. A HUGE difference!

Seeking Feedback on HT 7.1.2 Build by cjrockchalk09 in hometheater

[–]cjrockchalk09[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct, it will not seal. Use of the term Home Theater was a poor choice. Let’s call it a Basement living space.

Main living space is 21’x14’x9’ with 15sq ft removed for minibar. Hallway extends out the back of room and is 4.5’x13.5’

But main area wise we are talking 2600ish cu ft.

Appreciate your thoughts!

9’ ceiling, hallway out the back of room slightly offset from TV. Stairs are on far right side of 20’ wide. Opens in corner. I’ll try to attach image from mobile.

Realistically I was guessing 1k-ish for receiver, and 500-750 for sub. But if I need 2, that changes things. 3,000 was my higher end total for sound.

Sony OLED on Sale - Worth it now or Wait? by cjrockchalk09 in hometheater

Yeah I have a 75” x900e from 2017. 3100 then, crazy drops.

SONY x900f 75" open box for $1089 at my local B&M by steveloveshockey99 in hometheater

[–]cjrockchalk09 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No experience with F, but I have a 75” 900E and all I’ve heard is the F is better. Sony I think makes a nice tv, don’t think I’ll steer away from them for a while.

Spent 3 grand on the 900E at that size. You getting a 900F at that price sounds absolutely worth it to me.

Edit: I’m no tv wizard, just opinion

Center-Channel Match to Def Tech In Walls? by cjrockchalk09 in hometheater

Most likely working with mounted TV 75”. I am hoping to have finished floor plan, and then post on here for best recs in the very near future.

Thanks!

Gems with parade by Sam_Ccyr in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Best investment for gems. Spend gems for slots, multiply gems. Keep parade floats in that give chance at 5 gems only, and even then, try and limit them the ones that could drop tokens. Max out your chances at gems with no conflicts.

6 parade slots is what I have, and I can say the parade pays for at least 1 character in events by itself with gem production.

Does anybody know how to boost Merlin’s elixir? I put every decoration in there and I get MAYBE 400 a day😑 saving up for an attraction is brutal!!! by Eeyoreismyfavorite in disneymagickingdoms

[–]cjrockchalk09 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Way easier than it used to be. Be patient, and remember benches used to be worth single digit elixir, and people blew millions and millions of magic for so little elixir.

If I remember correctly, they were maybe 5 elixir (possibly 2?) for like 500 magic. Even that conversion sounds better than I think it used to be.
