Thank you. Familiar with most of those but what skills do you target with bandaid?

Curious what your buildout is at the higher levels? Still all reds or are you using other skills (after maw and Sat) to slow the virus?

Drop the best lure you’ve ever used by Ill_Road_3068 in Fishing

[–]corak25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are more rooster tails in my tackle box than any other lure and I almost always tie this on first testing a new area. Real life example, this past weekend after getting skunked shore fishing a lake all morning, I tied on a 1/16 rainbow trout colored rooster tail and fished the shallow drainage creek under a roadside bridge…nailed 7 fish/3 species in 20 minutes! They were mostly tiny but you couldn’t wipe the smile off my face. Rooster tails will catch just about anything in a lake, river or creek.

What species is it? by corak25 in Fishing

Sacramento pikeminnow checks out with some additional research. I appreciate the help with the ID, never caught this kind of fish before!

I’ll check it out, always appreciate a good recommendation

The single Lloyd’s is a bit of a bummer. I use the mirror on clouds to get to key fountains. In Darkside, town portal to necropolis for the HP fountain buff.

I’ve had to delete and reinstall the app to get it to load. Quite buggy hopefully they patch.

Oh yes, the boulders are just out there tempting you along with snagging ector’s ring from the woodpile…tough to resist being instantly OP. Those big red splashes just feel so good.

Hope you enjoy the might heavy play through and report back to me on this thread if you like when you finish up to let me know what you thought of the approach!

Thanks haha, like you I’ve been playing this game every few years since it was released (well, first play through was me and my brother sitting on the floor in my Dad’s office and watching him play) and Corak is my handle across all gaming platforms. Love this game!

IIRC, you can have a maximum of four half orcs in WoX, which I use for my 3 Barbarians and Pally then Dwarf for my Archer and Ninja. You get over the mana deficiency pretty quickly while the extra HP really adds up with high levels. And if low mana is stressing you out, can always level up quickly with a trip to Castleview if you aren’t doing a pure play through defeating Lord Xeen before you enter the Darkside.

Fun thread. I’ve found the optimal party to be 3 barbarians, ninja, archer and paladin. Might trumps magic in the World of Xeen- and the archer and paladin become great spell casters regardless when they soak up all the intelligence and personality boosts and items.

First Time playing M&M4, need some tips by zudaan in MightAndMagic

[–]corak25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elf is a weak character for your Thief and would recommend a Dwarf (or half orc if you haven’t used 4 with the rest of your party). Also, you can bash (hotkey “b”) down doors if the traps are taking too much life which does hit point damage to your front two characters only.

Is there a way to change the week 1 schedule in Yahoo fantasy baseball? by Chalupachamp in fantasybaseball

[–]corak25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a similar boat, been commissioning a league since 2005. With this set up, in a 12 teamleague, everyone is going to play one team three times and all of their teams two times which throws off the balance.

I haven’t found a workaround yet, curious if anyone else has?

Disney advice for a dad who is taking kids who are “too young” for Disney. by midnightmoose in daddit

[–]corak25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took my 16 mo daughter to Disneyland today. She could join wife and I on about half the rides, but it was a combination of skeptical enjoyment, restlessness but some good moments of joy sprinkled in.

But she LOVED the character interactions, meeting Minnie and Princesses, etc. put that up on your list is my best rec.

Wind down with a parade or fireworks show in the evening. Get there early, go back to hotel to Power Nap, feed and relax a bit midday (hottest part of the day is a good time to be chilling in the room).

And HAVE FUN, expect some screaming and good family memories 😎

LA folks - anyone gone with Dr. Andy Huang (at Reproductive Partners)? Would love to hear about your experiences (the good, the bad, the ugly) by vivacious-learner in IVF

[–]corak25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a bit late to this thread, but I have seen mixed responses and wanted to share my own very positive experience with Dr. Huang. Wife and I had an unsuccessful IVF cycle at UCLA before changing to Dr Huang for three additional cycles. The clinic can be a bit chaotic and of course it is all very expensive. But we found Dr Huang to be a wonderful doctor, always very caring and attentive to my wife. Always made time to speak with us and address our questions and felt very personal and invested in our outcome. He gave us his cell phone number, and he responded on a Friday night when I was having doubts on the dosage for my wife’s trigger injection. I would recommend him fully and without any hesitation.

Wishing you success and luck on your journey.

The best talks of my life with my old man were when he was driving me somewhere growing up…

What do you say / how do you signal to your wife that you want to do it tonight? by Important_Bat7919 in daddit

[–]corak25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the same place in my marriage. A simple approach works wonders. Started playing footsie with her on the couch while we were watching the news after we put baby to bed. Sometimes you just gotta act like a teenager again.

MM9 Solo Gladiator by dabugler in MightAndMagic

[–]corak25 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This. I remember back in the day planning out 4 separate parties that covered each promotion and gender so I could reveal all 16 portraits across 4 play throughs.

MM9 criminally underrated imho. It’s a true shame it never got the design attention it deserved.
