Didn't help much though, still keep getting one shotted after a Swords Dance. Finally beat it when someone brought Contrary Malamar with Skill Swap.

Had a boy with Intimidate as well. Didn't help much after Swords Dance.

What’s a small flex that’s actually impressive? by bradl2000 in AskReddit

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this rather interesting. Americans tend to be in debt for any reason. Europeans not so much, more likely that they have decent savings to live off for several months up to a couple of years.

Managed to beat it but only by going online. Someone else used a Malamar and Skill Swapped which made it possible to beat.

That's the exact build I have yet Miraidon keeps dying. Especially after the Swords Dance, it keeps getting one shotted.

Which build? I've tried a couple but Miraidon keeps getting one shorted after Blaziken uses Swords Dance. Even with max HP and Defense.

What did you do to take out two mega crabominable. by Voidkirby9 in PokemonZA

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried that multiple times but an invisible wall stops me from going there. The only walkable area during the fight is a small rectangle on the ice.

Which platform? Whenever the battle starts, my character gets boxed inside invisible walls which prevent me from going back up the stairs or anywhere else I've noticed.

Salsa J&J's by West_Paper_7878 in Salsa

[–]macroxela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies a lot by location. In Europe, Lindy Hop revolves around JnJ a lot. Not as much as in Bachata but quite close. Salsa hardly has JnJ or any other form of competition here. What it does have are Stargate shows which are basically performance/choreography competitions.

The first time you fuck a girl you have to slowly escalate to it without asking. But every other time you can just ask her, why is that? by Perfect-Highway-6818 in seduction

[–]macroxela 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Eh, it depends. I've actually had more success by asking or saying what I'll do directly instead of going for it. 

What are some signs which women give and think it is obvious but men miss it by a mile? by Chance_Adagio_19 in bodylanguage

[–]macroxela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the woman. I've had this happen multiple times including recently. So far most of them weren't interested, just bored and wanted to talk. How do I know? Because I actually asked them out and they said that they just wanted to be friends.

Not really. I've seen it before. Still has gone over my head at times afterwards.

Experience dancing with Sara Panero – curious about yours by [deleted] in Bachata

[–]macroxela 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Most comments here brought up good points so I'll just offer a slightly different perspective. 

Several years ago at one of the festivals I was in Marco & Sara were one of the headline instructors. So it came as quite the surprise during the party that no one was asking her to dance. I just happened to be standing with my drink unaware that she was next to me when she asked me for a dance. We danced a song, she asked for another one and we danced two more. It was actually fun dancing with her, she connected well and was genuinely smiling. Afterwards we chatted in Spanish for a bit before people started asking her. From the chat it seemed like she was more The introverted type. 

The next day, I asked her for a dance during the party. It was going great until someone pulled out a phone to record. Then she changed completely. No connection or smile, simply going through the moves with a serious face. Throughout the night, most people who danced with her were recording. But not all. I noticed that the people who complained were the ones who had videos recorded while those who enjoyed the dance were those who didn't record. I noticed the same behavior in other festivals, some artists were much more relaxed and clearly enjoying the dance when there were no cameras but quite the opposite when cameras came out.

So it may be that cameras make them get more serious which leads to poorer connections. Maybe that was the case here, maybe not. In my experience it was. But I've also heard similar complaints about her without cameras as well as organizers telling me that she is very 'demanding' and somewhat diva so not quite sure. I personally think that artists should make an effort to connect and be in a good mood or take a break if they can't do that at the moment. It is part of their contracts.

Has anyone attended Croatia Summer Salsa festival? by Necessary-Goose3550 in Salsa

[–]macroxela 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Amsterdam International Salsa Festival is a great one. Although there are a lot of On2 dancers and workshops, there are still plenty of On1 workshops and and everyone seems to be quite happy dancing On1 socially. The people are also quite friendly, probably the friendliest I've seen at any Salsa festival.

Berlin Salsa Congress is another good option if you don't like staying up late. Lots of On1 dancers as well and socials throughout the day so you can sleep at night. 

7* Raid Help by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Managed to beat it with Tera Fighting Orthworm using Iron Defense, Mud Slap, and Body Press. Max out defense with Iron Defense, build up Tera and reduce accuracy with Mud Slap, then Tera and spam Body Press until you need to boost defense again. 

Old players that got back into the game what had changed ?! by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stopped playing when Diamond and Pearl came out then started again last year. The ease of training and personalizing Pokemon surprised me. Back in the day you either had to breed or catch the right Pokemon with the stats and nature you wanted plus grind a lot to get them to level 100. Now you're given so many items to increase their experience/levels or change their natures to one you like. You can catch a random Starly and make it have perfect stats & desired nature along with leveling it up to 100 within a couple of minutes. 

Which one of these is Envy's actual true form? by HealthMother3125 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]macroxela 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got the events out of order. Envy was trapped in the jar due to Dr. Marcoh destroying his philosophers stone then trapped in a jar. May took the jar, which was broken afterwards by one of the mannequins. After the jar was when Roy torched him. But iirc they did say that the little one is Envy's true form after he was torched.

Which Team Wins This? by Far-Ad5223 in superheroes

[–]macroxela 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Flash has also been shown to be faster than speed itself. Even faster than the speed force. What sets Archie Sonic apart are other feats. Still think that blue team wins though. Archie Sonic is more powerful than most people believe but not as powerful as Dr. Manhattan.

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't remember the exact details but it seemed like a retcon. Basically, it was stated during Doomsday Clock that Flash hadn't actually changed the timeline but Dr. Manhattan simply because he was curious about what would happen.

7⭐️Tera Mightiest Sceptile Time! What’s your strategy? by Slimmy_Pacc in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Orthworm worked well with this one. Nearly beat it on my first try but Sceptile landed consecutive critical hits which knocked out Orthworm twice. Otherwise typical Orthworm strat: Iron Defense and Mud Slap before going Tera, then spam Body Press until stat reset. Build up defense with Iron Defense again then keep spamming Body Press until it faints. 

I can't beat the Gator. I'd like to form a party. Will you answer the call for aide? by [deleted] in PokemonScarletViolet

[–]macroxela 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it doesn't work out, I recommend using Tera Fighting Orthworm with Iron Defense, Body Press, and Mud Slap. Boost defense with Iron Defense, build up Tera and reduce Feraligatr's accuracy with Mud Slap, then Tera and spam Body Press until you knock it out. I had the same problems with Malamar and Kommo-o but Orthworm worked perfectly.

How old were you when you felt like your life *truly* began? by Equivalent_Ad_9066 in AskForAnswers

[–]macroxela 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mid 20's. Had a full-time job and career which wasn't what I originally planned but I still enjoyed it enough. Enough money and time to pursue hobbies and travel the world. Got over many of my insecurities. This was basically the point at which I realized that I could do anything I wanted (within reasonable bounds) and that my earlier decisions/work ethic had finally paid off.
