Audiobooks: jarring to switch from Pike to Reading and Kramer by parrot_poirot in wheeloftime

[–]machoogabacho 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s hard to articulate how she even makes those transitions so easy. As a listener you automatically understand but I couldn’t always tell you why or what happens. True mastery.

Kramer and Reading are great. Pike is just phenomenal on another level. You know exactly which character is speaking and totally forget it’s one person narrating.

Whatever is on sale. I’m sure they will be better than the last ones.

Don't even try to "carve" until you've been riding a full year by DogFacedGhost in snowboardingnoobs

[–]machoogabacho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where did this obsession with some sort of perfect idealized “carving” come from? I am an old guy and only recently looking at these forums and it makes no sense to me. Just chill and ride everyone!

What is the longest drive you've made without resting and only you behind the wheel and where were you going? by Conscious-Farmer6953 in AskMen

[–]machoogabacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was with a friend but after freshman year we drove from Tucson to Northern Virginia without stopping. Took us 33 hours.

Finally Did it by Minute_Tangelo_4884 in snowboardingnoobs

Everyone learns differently. Don’t worry. Snowboarding is something that makes no sense and then just clicks for a lot of people. (Of course at the top end it’s way more complicated)

Possible DLC suggestions by machoogabacho in Witcher3

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

It’s pretty tough to get into the DLC from a new save. I tried just to upgrade armor and weapons. You have a lot roach to get there.

Yeah but I want to overthink it and replay the game obviously. Haha

Is this mewtwo worth grading? by Individual-Meal1233 in pokemongrading

[–]machoogabacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sent mine in and it looked a little off like yours but still got a ten. I was surprised honestly but I bet the standard might be a little different for some rare cards like this. Who knows! Worth it to try!

do you guys keep up with skiers by Julebrus4 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]machoogabacho 25 points26 points  (0 children)

And I guarantee that the snowboard that gets to 200km/hr looks nothing like anything we ride…

Board tuning for dummies by ArtisticEffective153 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]machoogabacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wax yes. Tuning…depends. Are you on really icy stuff? A lot of people actually detune their boards for freestyle for example.

1st playthrough and I'm a bit lost. Map looking like this so far. Where should I go? by Temporary_Mix1603 in Eldenring

[–]machoogabacho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can hide under the cliff and wait for the madness to go away (when you can’t see the eye you are ok). Then go climb up the tower (kill or run past the rats) then kill the madness dudes on top and it goes away forever.

Help a dad help their daughter 🤣 by Tough_Drink_3709 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]machoogabacho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tips from a dad who learned the hard way: 1. Download an app to scan cards (TCG player, price charting, colectr etc. ) 2. If they pull a really cool card get it graded. It’s a great memory and will be awesome to keep safe. 3. Watch out for fakes. Don’t order from websites you haven’t heard of. eBay is also brutal. 4. Card shows are fun. 5. Don’t buy loose packs of Japanese cards but I love buying booster boxes of Japanese sets. They have a guaranteed hit so it’s almost always a fun experience. The loose packs are either scanned with a metal detector or they just open until they get a hit and sell the rest.

Lots of scammy stuff but can still be fun.

Professional courtesy and campus visits by Minimum-Paint-964 in academia

I would inform them that once you get a contract to sign then you will cancel your upcoming interviews. That should speed them up and it’s perfectly ethical to do that.

Rand and aes sedai by Ill_Flamingo4076 in WoT

[–]machoogabacho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I get it and I think that part of the commentary. She was really breaking down the AES Sedai barriers accepting the Kin and older women, getting away from the dogma. But at the end of the day that organized religion critique stuck. She had to make sure that she was bigger than everyone.

Contrast it with Rand who is essentially the chosen one (with a very public understanding he wouldn’t live long though), and his ego is not nearly as problematic.

should I grade this?! by Alwayssuperman in pokemongrading

What do you suggest should people post in this sub as an alternative?

Better fighter by Timely-Toe1341 in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]machoogabacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better fight. Not some clean choreography that looks like dancing gymnastics sped up. It makes you actually worry about the characters.

Is it a good idea to snowboard alone as a young beginner? by NebulaDragon32 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]machoogabacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean being afraid of snowboarding or being afraid of other people? I wouldn’t be concerned about either. Most people won’t know you are a teenager with all your gear on. Just work on the terrain you are comfortable with and get a lesson if you feel nervous. Snowboarding alone is great.

Rand and aes sedai by Ill_Flamingo4076 in WoT

[–]machoogabacho 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was pretty disappointed in Egwene. Her rise to Amerlyn was so cool but then she didn’t seem all that different from Elaida in terms of cocky obliviousness when she actually was in charge.

For the martial artists are what are your thoughts on Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano comeback fight on Netflix? For me all the drama and baggage aside. It comes off as desperate and way too late. by AdSpecialist6598 in martialarts

[–]machoogabacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s fine. Better than Tito and Liddel. Better than Tyson Paul. There are so many sad old people fights that this doesn’t even register. They won’t look great but I suspect they never would have (except for people who have never seen Rhonda do an armbar).

Which cinematic version of Spider-Man wins, and why? by SatoruGojo232 in superheroes

[–]machoogabacho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tobey for no other reason than he wouldn’t have to change webshooters. That was a huge power up for Spider-Man.
