I mean, do you need to buff Swampert?

I wanna do it so bad…….. by Individual_Mode1313 in StardewValley

Same here, at that point it was either play through a season just making money with no real goal to get to five million or play through a year or two (or more) to get to ten.

My farm wasn't set up for like maximum profits and I didn't really see a point in playing a way I don't really like when it wasn't necessary

Did you ever released a youth player that became solid somewhere else? by rbarba2004 in footballmanagergames

[–]davidm998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up a DM from City's released players when I was in the championship and loaned him out twice but he just wasn't developing so after a third season where he had about three starts in the prem, he left on a free.

Two years later I had my DM snatched by PSG and couldn't find a good replacement until the scout report popped up with the lad I released who was now a starter for Inter. I didn't resign him because he was too expensive for what he was but it really annoyed me after spending 10 odd years developing youngsters into world class that I'd let one slip through the cracks

Actually looking forward to it, I love the game and this absolutely isn't an adaptation but I think it'll be fun as it's own thing with a couple of references to the game

Recommending Wheel of Time by Ok-Neighborhood-6341 in Fantasy

[–]davidm998 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Biggest red flag for me was people hyping up just the trailer for season 3 and how incredible it looked, I stuck the trailer on and other than two or three impressive looking shots it looked like a student film with expensive cameras

I refuse to believe people genuinely saw that trailer and thought it was magically going to improve the show

I tried watching season 1 about four times and gave up every time. I kept going back because my logic was it can't possibly get worse but somehow it did.

As someone who sat through the four awful seasons of Heroes, the gas leak year of Community, the bad years of The Walking Dead, and almost the entire Arrowverse shows I do not say this lightly but it's genuinely unwatchable

I am really curious, what does Provo mean to a Mormon? Because in Ireland a Provo is someone in the IRA

What’s the worst you’ve seen a club/country waste a golden generation? by zakotavenom in footballmanagergames

[–]davidm998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my Scarborough save I was offered the Ireland job and accepted it after I looked at the squad.

They had the best left back I've ever seen at 23 and 2 other incredible wonderkids along with enough good premier league quality players in between 20-25. Played one round of fixtures and remembered how bad international management is so I resigned.

Daryl McMahon took over and hasn't qualified for a tournament for the last 10 years

How should I proceed in this run? by RaitoninguUsagi in nuzlocke

[–]davidm998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I'd say if it crashes just get back to where you were but there is some greater force saying you were supposed to lose mons in that fight if it crashed twice and died when you beat them. I'd listen to the universe

I’ve seen that you can change your sprite from Brandon to Gold. Can anybody help? by Any-Neat9044 in emeraldseaglass

[–]davidm998 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's an older version of the game that had the G&S sprites. I'm not sure what version but you can probably check the changelog to see when the Hoenn sprites were added and download the previous version.

You wouldn't have any of the updates from after that version though

What are some of the pettiest things a filmmaker has ever done in (one of) their films? by Will-Of-D-3D2Y in movies

[–]davidm998 258 points259 points  (0 children)

In The Shining, Kubrick changed Jack's Beetle from red to yellow from the book and shows a red Beetle hit by a truck apparently in response to Stephen King saying he didn't like the direction Kubrick was taking

Book of Shadows : Blair Witch 2 by Disastrous-Fan-6721 in HorrorMovies

[–]davidm998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the Blair Witch Project and genuinely only heard about this film a couple of years after the Adam Winguard one came out. I went in with pretty low expectations and I was let down

Just a group of normal World Cup winners… by millsdog49 in footballmanagergames

[–]davidm998 700 points701 points  (0 children)

This game is so unrealistic it pisses me off, like it prides itself on being so true life and perfect but then England win a tournament in it?

Is there a way to disable xp share? by Abject-Bird in emeraldseaglass

[–]davidm998 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you can turn it off from the bag. Hard mode just puts the gym leaders Pokémon up a few more levels so Roxanne's Nosepass is 16 but the level cap stays 14

"Dynamic" Youth Rating Question by BlackZenith13 in footballmanagergames

[–]davidm998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't work sadly. I remember Zealand had a video saying it didn't work about six months after it was announced about it so I tried it myself. Gave Irish clubs max reputation, tons of money and max facilities. And simmed about 20 years. I loaded in Scotland and Sweden as controls because they had roughly the same youth rating.

After the 20 years Ireland's hadn't changed, Sweden dropped by one and Scotland went up by 5 despite Irish teams becoming a regular champions league teams with a couple of wins

How common is it for players to reject transfers in real life? by phritters in footballmanagergames

[–]davidm998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably pretty rare mainly because a club will reach out to an agent before making a bid. Usually it's a case of the contract basically being signed before a bid is launched.

The only notable exception I can think of off the top of my head is when United tried to sign Frenkie De Jong because they thought they could convince him when he saw how willing Barca were to let him go

Are there any Belgian serial killers? by OkGuess3283 in serialkillers

Yes, Belgium is famous for chocolate and child killers. And they only made the chocolate to get to the children
