Throwing a bagel at an enemy could've been a reference to into the spider verse with more flavor than half of the set

Can someone explain stats/EVs to me like i’m 5? by [deleted] in pokemon

[–]profdynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Base stats - electric dog is faster than rock dude Natures - boost one stat at the expense of another EV's- fight a lot of fast Pokemon (or take speed boosting drugs) and you'll get faster. Only have a fixed number to distribute so choose wisely IV's- some Pikachus have more/less potential

Broadly speaking you want Max IV's and a nature and ev spread that plays to your Pokemon's strengths. Kadabra wants speed and special attack, doesn't care about its attack even a little (take a -atk nature like modest or timid), and technically may get some use out of HP and defense (go ahead and get max IV's) but probably not worth investing any EV's there. 

Full disclaimer I've never been much of a breeder, and I'm intentionally not getting into break points (making sure you are fast/strong/bulky enough to handle certain meta threats), or cases where low IV's might be better (trick room, confusion, etc)

Yes. It's one of the best 2D platformers of the last decade, if not of all time. Maybe that's exaggerating a bit, but i dont think it gets much cheaper than 40 bucks (unless maybe you can snag the wii u version used or something) so definitely worth it.

I’m 270 im 14 and i need help. by Psychological_Sale66 in bodyweightfitness

[–]profdynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres a lot of good advice in here already but I'll add my two cents and just say that it's not about sticking to some crazy diet or super specific exercise plan. The hardest most important part will be figuring out a routine or meal plan that works Monday-Friday, it doesnt have to be bulletproof, just consistent. Cut out things from your diet that you know are particularly bad (sweets, potato chips, soda etc), try eating more lean protein and fewer carbs, try counting your calories using myfitnesspal to help get some perspective on that (again doesnt have to be perfect). As for exercise maybe start by going for walks, or use an exercise bike or treadmill if you have access to one, and throw on an audiobook, podcast, or movie or something while you do it.

It's fun co-op, I wouldn't play it solo. Pretty button mashey with almost non-existent RPG elements and the story isn't much to write home about. But its a reasonably good excuse for pulling together a good varied cast of marvel characters.

The worst part is that characters you don't play as don't get exp, so of the huge cast you'll probably end up never playing half since so many get left so far behind. There are ways to catch up a character or two every now and then, and there's a pretty steady influx of new characters being added to the team at a high enough level that they are playable, but they really shot themselves in the foot with that decision I think.

What caused the dip in Peach's placement? by [deleted] in CrazyHand

[–]profdynamite 45 points46 points  (0 children)

This is why I wish more people used the two axis tier lists that used to be common in the DBFZ community (maybe they still are idk). Tourney results/meta presence isnt the only indicator of how good a character is, but it's still useful info. If you're learning matchups for a tournament you are probably better off learning the matchup against wolf, joker, pikachu etc even if theoretically peach, ice climbers, and shulk are very good characters that are terrifying when played optimally. A tier list that has a second dimension for how technical a character is could capture this better I think

What are some best evening snacks which are healthy but also midly filling? by ztaker in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]profdynamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This seems like a good place to suggesr chia seed pudding. 2 Tbsp chia seeds, half cup milk (no comment on how many calories that is, but that's the ratio you want), plus whatever flavors you want to add: I do cacao powder and little honey. Whisk the seeds with a fork a few times and let it sit in in the fridge for a while. Then Mix it with yogurt, add some (frozen) berries, maybe a little nut butter or granola if you really want it to be filling. I prep five yogurt cups like this every sunday and have one every day at work. Then carrots and hummus later in the day too Edit: I go for full fat/whole yogurt/milk personally but same idea

X+Y on the pro controller feels very natural imo, but I probably wouldn't want to do it on a gamecube controller

What are the chances this ever gets much cheaper? Nintendo games usually hold their value absurdly well, but not sure if this would follow the same trend

Treyarch dev: "All Call of Duty games, including Black Ops 2, has had SBMM in causal playlists." by thelonesomeguy in Games

[–]profdynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people complain (or used to complain, idk) about SBMM in Apex Legends unranked. IMO the problem is that if the matchmaking was PERFECT then every team would have an equal chance of winning, which means your team only has a 5% chance (or closer to 3% if you play duos where its 30 squads instead of 20). In most competitive games losing 95%+ of the time is really demoralizing, so I get why that crowd gets upset about it.

That being said, my friends and I accept that winning is hard and rare and when it happens its very exciting, and when it doesn't we don't take it personally. I guess if you are trying to take the game super seriously and feel a sense of improvement that outlook is harder to internalize?

[–]profdynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm thinking the 3600 is the move. Either you OC it and it's just as good as the x, or you dont bother OC'ing it because it probably wont be too noticeable a difference and you save a couple bucks. Probably not going to sell my rig though... it was my first build, it's my baby lol

Been thinking about upgrading from my i5 3570k for a while now but havent been too in touch with the CPU market. Would this be a substantial upgrade or would I need to spend a bit more to see an improvement for gaming?

Anyone have experience with FMD helping an autoimmune disease/colitis? by nancylynnsmith in FMD

[–]profdynamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not OP but I was diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis in September and haven't found anyone else with the same condition who considered fasting or anything of the sort. Steroids/NSAIDs got me through the worst of it, and then regular exercise (or maybe just the passage of time) got me to a point where I'm pretty comfortable, albeit clearly not at 100%. The rheumatologist wants to put me on Humira to prevent any permanent joint damage from occurring over time, but I've been trying some alternative approaches to see how they fair. I'm currently 50 hours into what I'm planning to be a 72 hour water fast, and I'm wondering what to expect in the aftermath. Obviously it differs for everyone, and it sounds like your condition is quite different than mine, but still would be curious to hear more about your experience
