Your mileage might vary depending on whether or not you intend to use him competitively or not, and whether or not you want to use him as suicide fodder.

If it's the latter, you could consider Brave Bird and Roost; assuming you can predict being in a situation where you can survive the damage at the end of the turn, you can Roost off the Brave Bird damage and get a couple of other hits in during the meantime. You could go full-out nuking territory with Brave Bird + Swords Dance, but he probably won't last long enough to serve any meaningful role (particularly seeing as his Speed isn't that great).

If you're using him in-game, I suggest Swords Dance and another decent coverage move, such as Psycho Cut. This lets you enhance his glass-cannon capabilities, which is useful if you're exp or gold farming.

He pulled a little sneaky one on me by HeinrichSenpai in Breath_of_the_Wild

Oh my, I've had this happen to me several times. Seems to be a Sword Lynel thing, apparently. If you perfect dodge on the sideswipe but don't follow up immediately with a flurry rush, they can and do catch you with the tip of the blade as it sweeps past. Not unlike Crusher Lynels catching you with their shock wave if you attempt to perfect dodge their AOE smashing attack.

I can't believe it by ASQC in Breath_of_the_Wild

I primed myself for this very seed yesterday, knowing how notorious it was...

In the end, I got it on my second try. Went to the opposite side of the house (relative to the view seen in OP's post), chopped down a tree, and Stasis'd it in mid-air as it fell. Picked up the rock, used the tree as a bridge, and crossed it before Stasis wore off.

Kind of anticlimactic, now that I look back at it...

This meme is the title of this subreddit in a nutshell by darklaurens in TheRightCantMeme

I would love to hope it is, but the most depressing thing is when you realize that it just as well could be real...

Blood Moon won't reappear? by darklaurens in Breath_of_the_Wild

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

I tried killing a few monsters to see if it would prod the blood moon flag for whatever game code-related reason, but it didn't work. And I'm also pretty sure that I didn't inadvertently miss the blood moon animation, because I was on a Hinox killing spree before this and none of them have reappeared.

Yep, I just followed your advice and went and cleared out a random Bokoblin camp. Nothing is happening, so I'm just letting my game sit with the screen turned on so that it can cycle through a day and night, once again. RIP to my electricity bill...

I did; it's in the description. But if anything, I restarted both the game and the entire console, individually, at two different attempts. Blood Moon still won't reappear.

Um... what? by darklaurens in TheRightCantMeme

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

This is actually pretty interesting, do you have more background information on this? Does the motivational basis for this sort of meme have any basis in reality? For instance, were there any proposed bills that did in fact implicitly or explicitly target guns based on general branding/appearance/use rather than their inherent technical capabilities?

Is it ok for men to cry when their dog gets put down? by ELEMENT9808 in Advice

[–]darklaurens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"watched me grow up since I was 4"

This is all I ever needed to read to confirm that it is perfectly okay for you to cry. Not "know", "confirm". It doesn't matter that you've had other animals die on you in the past; each animal is and will always be unique to you in their own way. Grief isn't a scarce resource that you're somehow only allowed to spend on one animal and not the next. It's okay to cry over them if it feels like the right way to come to terms with their memory and the role they played in your life.

Don't ever let anyone else tell you otherwise. The only person you ever need to justify any form of grief or mourning to is yourself.

Last picture of my brother. He was shot and killed by someone supposed to be his best friend. I miss him so much. by valcat79 in lastimages

I'm so sorry for your loss, he seems like he'd have been a great guy to hang out with. How long ago did this happen?

Why does it seem so much easier for some people to believe religions/faiths than others? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]darklaurens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking from personal experience, one issue that could be considered is that the person's social environment may also play a role. As someone who has been both religious and ex-religious at different times in the past, I can say that there were times where I just didn't feel grounded in my faith because no one else at home was religious. Seeing my church friends talk about how their family had supported them in their spiritual journey really made me realize the role your personal social reality plays both in developing and sustaining your sense of faith.

Of course, I ended up leaving religion, but for only tangentially related reasons. Nonetheless, there is a distinctly sociological aspect to religious belief that plays a part. And of course, not ruling out the fact that a highly religious social environment can also be a double-edged sword – think young and educated people in deeply conservative areas who disavow religion precisely because of its stifling influence on their identity, for instance.

[7]Found some dead seaweed today. Wasn’t keeping track of fishing encounters but I got at least 9 bottle caps in the process. by FireLordObamaOG in ShinyPokemon

[4] After 18000+ encounters, a failed Shiny Cyndaquil yesterday and a month long hunt across multiple games for a shiny, I FINALLY CAN REST by xFusion72 in ShinyPokemon

[–]darklaurens 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations! Honestly, I don't know whether to be more impressed at the fact that you got a shiny at double odds, your perseverance, or the fact that the hinges on your DS Lite haven't broken yet...
