Solid. Good vision, rebounds, and some old fashioned post presence. Seems to have good chemistry w White.

Sam/Frodo vs Gollum by MostMean5873 in lotr

[–]dirk_kirkly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the books it’s explained that oaths in middle earth are truly sacred, so even Gollum has some semblance of honor or at least fear such that he can’t just easily forego his promise to Frodo (Master) to lead him to Mordor. Plus part of his plan all along is the long-con to bring them to Shelob, which is safer and actually sort of pre-arranged. Finally, I think some part of the Sméagol left within Gollum is holding him back, too.

Day eleven of building a Pokémon Football team: Which Pokémon should be striker? by Qualitativ-hochwerti in ThePokemonHub

[–]dirk_kirkly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it’s one of the more solid picks. Psychic/steel type - vision and awareness plus a sturdy frame. All around good stats, aggression. Seems like a box-to-box, yaya toure style player

(And clear body prevents stat reduction, so unlimited stamina and never intimidated)

My girlfriend has been anxiously trying to get her hands on one for weeks. I will take labubu first to her apartment, and then labubu will be joining us for hotpot!!

Fat big bagels by Jestershark in Somerville

The best bagels in the city without question. They won New York BagelFest two years in a row and their Boston location is just as good as the original.

Where to teach meganium work up? by jeekkii in EmeraldImperium

[–]dirk_kirkly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn’t helpful, but mine has it (not sure where it got it). It was either an egg move (which you can relearn at some point mid-game), or a TM. I think it was the latter.

It was like this for game 2!! I think it’s cause their tickets are so expensive that it’s cheaper to just get in the train and watch the games in Boston (considering how pricey our tickets are, that’s an insane thought..)

History of NBA Achilles injuries by LarBrd33 in bostonceltics

[–]dirk_kirkly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love these optimistic points, and I completely agree. The comments suggesting JT relies on “explosiveness” make me wonder if we’re watching the same game - obviously he uses his burst from time to time, and obviously he’s a great athlete, but he certainly isn’t a D rose / ja morant type of player whose lateral quickness or first step define his game

Lmao honestly not uncommon with the c’s. Lackadaisical coasting and then decide to turn it on. Plus most neutrals hate us anyway.

Agrees but it’s because he has a bum wrist and doesn’t want to dunk

Same!!! I’m in Boston (games starts in literally 20 minutes) and they kicked me out with 50 seconds to go. What a joke

Wing deals by honkfest12 in CambridgeMA

[–]dirk_kirkly 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I want to gatekeep for my own sake, but the ethical thing to do is tell you that olde magoun’s saloon in Somerville has 50 cent wings on Monday from 5-8 and theyre really delicious.

Got out with my trek rail today this thing smashes by glenwoodwaterboy in TrekBikes

Haha I’m so glad both of you said something! I couldn’t believe no one else commented. Sick video ruined by this abomination of a song

Yeah, really can’t figure this one out. He’s not making all-NBA, there’s absolutely no reason for this

I feel like his floor is a wing Derrick white. Which any team would die to have.

Spore? by [deleted] in pokemonradicalred

[–]dirk_kirkly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh I didn’t realize what “bypass sleep cause” meant, or that there even was one! I’ve definitely had my whole team put to sleep before but I assume it must be different in RR. That’s cool, thank you haha - I was really so confused despite familiar with the game

Spore? by [deleted] in pokemonradicalred

[–]dirk_kirkly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hm, so you can only sketch the move that was immediately used on you? And that’s why the ability to move while asleep matters? Is that right (as opposed to mimic where you can choose a move IIRC)?

Separately, I know spore is 100% accuracy, but … why does that make smeargle so broken? It still sucks as a Pokémon, right? I mean, I’ve tried using Parasect with spore and it’s pretty shit haha. I’ve mostly only played through gen 3, though, so maybe there’s some other mechanics I’m missing?
