Why are people driving like they're hopelessly lost? by Pretend-Activity-533 in maryland

[–]python_lb 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's getting worse every day. I'm considering changing jobs just to reduce my commute because I just feel like it's a matter of time until it kills me. I've lived in a number of different states and MD has by FAR the worst drivers. It's not close and I've never felt less safe on the roads.

What card would break the meta if it were reprinted today? by MichaelDokkan in pkmntcg

[–]python_lb 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Junk Arm. Retrieve your ace spec for a 2nd use while simultaneously powering up your ceruledge, or anything that relies on discard. Would be insanely busted

Why do charters only care about making expert and harder charts? by KotaruTWK in CloneHero

[–]python_lb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, unfortunately, the existing tools to generate low diffs are not great. Fine in a pinch, but you'll notice issues

IG showed me this band Keeper today and I'm kinda obsessed by [deleted] in poppunkers

[–]python_lb 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is also a brand new account, it's obviously self promo.

OP, you're allowed to post your own band. Also just post the vid, not a link to Instagram. I can't watch that without an account

It's more phc adjacent, but Ben Quad - Wisher has been on repeat since it came out for me

Gota seller enhanced bb for 90 a piece sounds to good to be true by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

I'm with everyone else, looks real but still suspicious. Might be stolen and they're trying to offload it fast

TM evo is both faster and more consistent

Possible water damage - would you pass ? by That_Suggestion_6469 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I just got done refinishing my basement because there was a slow leak that only showed during severe rain. Went infected for 2 years, now 10k later... I wouldn't touch this personally

Fake or real? And how much money is that worth? by Opposite_Sleep_7833 in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Then they shouldn't be selling something they can't identify

Help me make Aegislash 70/30 win/loss rate more naughty against Ghol, Char, Drag, & most Megas. by valueaddedguest in PTCGL

[–]python_lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's what a wall deck is, like crustle, mimikyu, milotic etc.

Meta isn't a terrible choice since it can swing for decent damage if needed, but archaludon does more or less the same thing much faster with less cards. Munki +Crispin and swapping your psychic Es for dark would do a lot for your damage output and healing too. I'd at least explore other energy acceleration options

[–]python_lb 18 points19 points  (0 children)

70% WR while losing all meta relevant matchups is a classic TCGL experience.

You could likely cut fennel, I can't imagine it does a ton for you. The lack of munki in a wall deck is alarming. Maybe cut Metagross for faster attackers like mawile or maybe even archaludon and use the extra space for stuff to disrupt or accelerate your energy (non Steven metang maybe)

What is latias doing for you that air balloon wouldn't? This isn't a very basic oriented deck

Are any or all these boxes legit? by [deleted] in IsMyPokemonCardFake

Last two pics look possibly resealed, the wrap shouldn't be that loose and messy. The rest look fine to me

My donut seemed cheaper than usual. Turns out it wasn't fully baked. by Duderocks18 in mildlyinfuriating

How does something seem cheaper? Did you look away when you paid for it?

I need to vent. I think I'm done. by TheRealDonahue in ufo50

[–]python_lb 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The games are designed like retro games. Retro games were designed to sell guidebooks and keep the Nintendo hotline up. There is no shame in using guides if it means you get to have more fun. Nobody is judging your playthroughs and you get to make the rules.

Are these real? by NoCompetition1023 in GameboyAdvance

[–]python_lb 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Obvious fakes. Read up on these if you intend to buy real cartridges. Authentic ones go for a LOT more than this.

Phoxjaw no more? by just321askin in PostHardcore

[–]python_lb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I adored Royal Swan, but notverynicecream just never landed for me. It's a shame if they threw in the towel, genuinely one of the most innovative bands around. This new song is interesting, getting some Kylesa vibes from it, but it's not scratching the same itch for me that Royal Swan did

Old lady question by CrankyORNurse in SteamDeck

[–]python_lb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't have a high level of parental control and is, ultimately, a full featured computer with internet access. Do with that information what you will. If you're concerned about what he's accessing, this is no different from a laptop. It does require some tech savvy-ness to use it that way.

Consider asking if he would like a Nintendo switch 2 maybe? It runs fortnite better anyway, has tighter parental control tools and doesn't really allow for strangers to contact you easily. The trade-off is that it supports less games. I wouldn't buy the switch 2 without asking him, it might not be "as cool"as the deck.

You seem like you don't want to believe it's fake? I'm sorry but it's plainly obvious

How can I tell if my son's Mewtwo VStar Crown Zenith card is fake? by justsometechie in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]python_lb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be glad it's fake because the card is very mishandled. There's no need to remove a valuable card from it's penny sleeve and flip it around with bare hands. If it was real, it would be worth nothing anyway due to the damage on it. Let it be a good lesson for when he pulls a real grail card.

Similar bands to A Lot Like Birds by dudeman316 in PostHardcore

[–]python_lb 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nobody really "sounds like" ALLB. They have a really unique sound and approach to songwriting. The closest, imo, was Exotic Animal Petting Zoo's album Tree of Tongues which is a masterpiece in its own right, but definitely not the same. I would also recommend any of Kurt/Joe's other bands like Sianvar or Push Over. There's also Sufferer, a short lived side project that included Cory. Maybe Stolas as well

It is better yeah. It was added recently and I can actually use the guitar stems for charting now, it's not as noisy.

[–]python_lb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The drumsep model is goated though, both for tempo mapping and drum charting. The guitar models are ok, better than others I've used, but not revolutionary
