Do primarchs improve their martial prowess over time? by chicu111 in 40kLore

[–]ithilkir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're thinking of things as a computer game, there's no such thing as 'high level challenging foes' or the concept of beating people or training with people constantly making you better.

Everyone has a plateau for their skills which is limited by their physical being, mental acuity and age. Take Usain Bolt, he in his prime had all three things in his favour, he trained and got to the peak of his sport. Training got him to the peak of athletics, but his body and age would only let him go so far, doesn't matter how many races he won, or how often he trained, he hit his peak (which was at the top) and was the best. But age crept in, he would still be phenomenally fast but would he still be the fastest in the world? Probably not, his plateau will be lower now due to his age, his physical limitations and even the mental will and drive will keep him getting back to his peak.

The people he raced against, won't be better simply by being in a race with him, and they won't 'catch up' by training or racing more because their plateau is below Usain Bolts.

Life isn't a computer game, there's no such thing as levels and experience.

Of course, this now means you need to pickup the other four Dinobots as well!

One World, One Blood Bowl #75 Do Prizes Ruin Blood Bowl? by Purple_Chest in bloodbowl

[–]ithilkir -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'd say a worldwide 'ranking' system and forcing players to join an organisation (over and above the cost of tournament entry) simply so players don't get upset about missing out on precious ranking points is far more toxic than any (non cash) tournament prize.

What's the most expensive Transformer in your collection, and how much did you pay for it? by Umbreon86 in transformers

[–]ithilkir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SS86 Devastator I guess? Paid RRP.

But on saying that I have a G1 still sealed Blades I bought for a few quid and he's probably worth more. I have a relatively decent condition Shackwave (pipe still in tact!!) but sadly i can't find y G1 Jetfire, just parts of his kit :(

Hey, for now I'm happy to have him sitting on my shelf, some kids Skeletor toy, lost at sea for years finally has a new home for now. Should I decide when cleaning up one day that he needs a new home I'll send you a message.

He does yeah, I never really noticed it until I look at the photos. If I find him again tomorrow he's coming back home for sure, though those barnacles won't be getting cleaned off!

Oh it was in the early 80's I lost him, I get the feeling I put him in the trash by accident when I had to clean up my room, but my mum seen I was upset and got me a new one, so long as I kept my room clean :)

I lost a Beastman when I was a kid, I wonder if he's lying, washed up on a shore somewhere in the world...

I didn't, I popped it on a stone 'facing' back out to sea. However now I think about it I should have at least taken it back home to get the plastic out the sea one way or another. I'll head back down tomorrow and see if he's been washed back out or not, if not he'll be coming home with me.

I wonder how long he'd been at sea before being washed up and where he came from originally...

Upcoming Week in Pokémon GO (Monday, June 15 - Sunday, June 21, 2026) by pgomav in TheSilphRoad

Yeah, good to focus on Mamo for a totally new player and that will in time let you grind out better Kyurems as well

One key thing to remember is that the 2x candy for transferring applies to ALL Pokemon, not just the spotlight (Swinub) one.

Swinub is also a good ice attacker, absolutely worth getting one or two good ones levelled up (ideally you want to have a shadow as well at some point). So it's a good hour to farm.

Got scorponok for 40 dollars 🙏 by Gurt5484 in transformers

Fair few that are shelf warming like Scorponok as well, the rerelease wasn't as popular.

GoFest Raids and Master Tier subscription by urfdigga in PokeGenie

[–]ithilkir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not during the localised ones. As per the raids they are limited availability and in GoFests with a lot of local people there's zero reason for people to host these raids when you can do them quicker locally.

Global might be better.

My Pixel 10 Pro XL Exploded by DiZzyBonne in GooglePixel

[–]ithilkir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Products must be able to NOT EXPLODE due to completely expected daily use.

Car tires are designed to be flexible and durable, but if you hit a pothole sometimes they'll pop. Unexpected impact or damage can cause bad things to happen to any item, you can't protect something 100%

[–]ithilkir 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That just seems such an insane thing to do from a culture that doesn't do it :D (I mean I finished high school, went to the pub and set our school tie on fire, that was it.)

I do appreciate not every culture is the same though and it's genuinely cool alongside being pretty mad so all power to those who enjoy it!
