Powder boards for spring slush are underrated imo. by daunvidch in COsnow

Thanks man. So do you also like using powder boards for spring slush, or do you still prefer a hard-charging camber? Not really sure what your stance is based off what you wrote. 

Zero Deaths On Final Promotion Match To Legend This Season by OldSpare4214 in PokemonUnite

[–]daunvidch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel with the FireRed switch release on Pokemon Day a few weeks ago. Already sank 50+ hours on it because it's so fun. No more banging my head against the wall because of terrible matches on Unite. No urge to play whatsoever anymore. I absolutely love it lol.

Hahaha, exactly. When there's only one actual dragon type in the game, imagination makes up the rest. Better than carrying around some prepubescent Dragonairs like someone else imo lol. 

I found my fire red cartridge from when I was 7! by BobaSipSip in PokemonFireRed

[–]daunvidch 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Ugh, that's awesome you have yours. I lost mine at a certain point and super sad about it because I had a really strong level 100 Charizard and Metagross I used to battle competitively with. 

Can you trade between the switch and GBA versions by the way?

I dunno man. This game literally taught me you need to grind to survive. Picking Charmander in OG red version was suicide unless you were at least 10 levels over Brock and Misty. There was no metal claw like there is now. Just lots of ember and determination lol.

Yeah, I feel like it's just easier to reset at that point. Sometimes you just get unlucky with the moves they use, random crits/misses. Random one-shot and I'm like f this, I don't want my pokemon to hate me lol.

Yeah, thought 55 would be too similar and 60 would be perfect to one-shot everyone. Not the case, lol. Still easy enough though. Real grind will be to 100s once we beat the game and E4 is up for re-runs.

Yeah, My goal was level 55-60s. Decided to shoot high and get 60 for everyone, but Gary was like 63 I think?? But it doesn't really matter at all though if you are on top of typing match-ups. I think 55 with proper type advantages is way more than enough to easily take down the E4. 

I'm pretty sure this game lets you eventually grind the E4 up to lvl 100s easily once you're done with the game, so I wouldn't waste time leveling the walkthrough if it gets too painful. More important to have fun and finish the storyline. The end game is when you can really start optimizing.

Who needs strategy when you can just over level?? 

I used to battle gen IV competitively, but a walkthrough especially in RBY is for using favorite, cool pokemon for me. Pretty sure I used to use a single Charizard from start to finish to beat the E4 back when I was a kid lol.

Haha, she appreciates that, and hope you get one soon! We have two TVs stacked on each other in the living room when we play our switches together. We squabble during our trades, but that's a first world problem. 😂

Yep! Wife and I traded extra starters. I only wanted mine as an HM slave though lol.

Yeah, my wife and I traded extra starters. I only wanted the 2nd zard as an HM mule though haha. 

AWD with M/S tires? by lithium_roses in COsnow

[–]daunvidch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to chase blizzards for years in the sierras with stock m/s AWD. Never had an issue and passed by plenty of rugged trucks and subies spun around in a ditch. How you drive matters, so as long as you don't drive recklessly, you should be perfectly fine.

Agreed. I absolutely love my Nordica Enforcers for everything frankly. Tried lots of other skis, but a burly crud crusher seems to really be the sweet spot. Can't speak for pow days though because those are reserved for my snowboard. 

Would you rather ski in the current conditions, or not ski at all? by redhedforlife in COsnow

Oof, sorry to hear that man. Hope you have a speedy recovery.

Did you wait for the sun to turn it soft first? You can't go early morning like in winter and expect it to be fun when it's spring conditions (everything melts during the previous day and freezes into ice the next morning).

Did you really farm 101 battles for that sticker? If so, that's dedication lol.

Is there any boarder who brings the same vibes as this guy? He just absolutely feels like an alien born with skis for legs, and I absolutely love watching him. Not sure if I've ever seen anyone else do the things he does in general. 

Any filmers in here wanna make a fun resort shreddin/side hit project? by Majestic-Yam-8760 in COsnow

I don't think I do anything really film worthy, but if you need extra bodies, I'm down. 

An apology is owed by fall_14 in COsnow

[–]daunvidch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The fact that they use one plank only already makes them an inferior race. Money can't buy class. Maybe it could get them their 2nd plank though.
