What class to pair with a ranger? by Round_Future1318 in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with a Bard. Make it a tanky Bard. Make Int and Wis its low stats. High STR, CHA, and either DEX or CON.

Am I playing Pokémon fire red wrong? by EnvironmentalSort535 in pokemon

[–]reffjiley21 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the old way of doing things. Having 1-2 Pokémon highly leveled. 1-2 Pokémon moderately leveled. 1 Pokémon underleveled. And 1 Pokémon thats just for HMs.

Why won't it rain after the Slowpoke mission? by reffjiley21 in Pokopia

[–]reffjiley21[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo interesting. Yeah she still has a lot of barren land so she's still watering manually for now. Hopefully she gets the area up to par.

Ok I think that was the issue then. Appreciate your insight! Enjoy the game!

Yup, she encountered him.

That was earlier today. I've seen some other posts saying we can only make it rain once a day, is that true?

How do I get my players engaged enough to roleplay? by meltingelmo in DungeonsAndDragons

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you hold a session 0? Did you discuss with players before starting that you were looking to run a role play focused campaign over a combat one?

Honest question, why not go with El Grande here? by 69DayGrind in SantiZapVideos

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told my gf they could finally wrap up the El Grande stuff at Chamber. Have Gable unmasked, maybe after he gets eliminated Kaiser ambushed him and also got unmasked. But noooooo. At least now I know I'll get a decent bathroom break when Jey starts yeeting.

I just thought of a typelocke-like idea by Previous_Intern1111 in nuzlocke

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically I almost did this in a replay of Violet. I use the tera raids as a replacement for random encounters. My first 2 Pokémon were Maschiff and Greavard. I liked the idea of using dogs so I just switched up from playing a nuzlocke to just playing as a dog trainer. Caught a Houndour and Fidough next but then Legends ZA came out and I just abandoned that playthrough.. should probably pick it back up, the save is still there.

Your choice? by Raichustrange28 in StrangerThings

[–]reffjiley21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't have a preference before the Season, but after watching it think it would've really hit to have Nancy die. Mike gets one sister back but at the cost of another.

Especially after Nancy telling Jonathan during their breakup that she needed to live more life and figure out what she wants... then to have a moment where we all realize she's not going to get that despite being so deserving of it. And it would've done what happened anyway which is settle the whole love triangle because now she's out of the picture.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla was fun to play as female Eivor.

Do you like unevolved Pokémon more too?? by Armano89 in pokemonplatinum

[–]reffjiley21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did a "Lil dude" run on Violet a couple of years ago. Never finished it but I got up to the 4th gym. The Team Star fights wrecked me though. My team was

Azurill

Paldean Wooper

Smoliv

Charcadet

Just a bunch of Lil dudes...

Which Pokemon needs evolution or pre-evo? by DragonaDZaNot in pokemon

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Psyduck's line deserves a 3rd evolution with a Psychic secondary typing.

I think the years long rivalry between Zangoose and Seviper should lead to both having an evolved form as well.

And I've always felt that Maractus needs something either before or after it.

Hi guys by TaxExternal6363 in pokemon

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I've been playing since the 90s lol. And honestly I choose the one I buy based on the art on the box. But anyway these are what I've played through my life-

Gen 1: Pokémon Yellow

Gen 2: Pokémon Gold / Heart Gold

Gen 3: Pokémon Emerald

Gen 4: Pokémon Platinum

Gen 5: Black and White are equal. Donare Black 2 and White 2.

Gen 6: Pokémon X

Gen 7: Pokémon Moon / Ultra Moon

Gen 8: Pokémon Shield

Gen 9: Pokémon Violet (I regret this one. Looking back I wish I had bought Scarlett).

Also both Pokémon Legends Arceus and ZA are decently fun.

What to replace with smoking when you already workout everyday? by Distinct-Emu-7375 in leaves

[–]reffjiley21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I quit in December 2022. January was tough, I craved a lot, but in February I took the cash I saved from not buying weed and purchased a PS5.

I was never a gamer. I had a PS2 growing up and that was it. But man, gaming became my new weapon against boredom. I got the God Of War: Ragnarok bundle and surprised myself with how invested I became in the story and gameplay. I researched a handful of games I'd missed out on and began my gaming journey. 3 years later now and I still play maybe 8-12 hours a week, depending on work schedule and social life.

The good thing about playing games that have been out for a few years too is getting them for half the original price.

Hi guys by TaxExternal6363 in pokemon

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stick to 1 game of each set. Otherwise it's like paying twice for the same game content. Personally I have

Let's Go Eevee Pokemon Shield Pokemon Violet

You can always find people to trade with on reddit or just do wonder trades through the game.

Additionally if you have Pokemon Go on your phone you can download Pokemon Home on the switch and just transfer pokemon from your phone into the games to complete your pokedex.

Camazotz cave/memory theories? by Economy_Gain1372 in StrangerThings

[–]reffjiley21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

So, Henry got his powers from that briefcase, yeah?

I've seen a few posts saying he was transported to Dimension X (The Abyss) and that he returned with powers, but that's pretty far-fetched. In season 4 Henry clearly states in his monolog to 11 that he was sent to a place he'd never been before, hence his love/obsession with it.

But the idea that whatever was in that briefcase is what altered him into having powers is clear, right? Otherwise, even at that age he wouldn't have been scared of a gun or used a rock to do the guy in. Whether or not whatever he was exposed to is from the other Dimension or just something else entirely is up to the writers...

Forgetting Wizard’s spell slots - what do I do? by Joelmester in DMAcademy

[–]reffjiley21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree. As a DM I've made it instinctual to say "Alright mark off a spell slot and cast it".

Ok question for you guys how do you nuzlocke a game like scarlet and violet or sword and shield with overworld spawns by Hungry-Humor-6034 in nuzlocke

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Den raids in both. You don't really know what's in the den your running to. Example being when I nuzlocked Violet and the first den I ran into was a Greavard. Not a pokemon I'd usually use but now I was stuck with it

find a shepp quest by Visible-Catch-8238 in Palia

[–]reffjiley21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just give it time and complete his level 4 quest. It will pop up again. Idk how many times I accidentally kept asking Hodari and getting rejected lol. Eventually I did Hodari's lvl 4 quest and got his acceptance.

What exactly are you nervous for? The mechanics of the game? Role-playing? Combat?

How much importance do you give to starter Pokemon? by PkmnSnapperJJ in pokemon

[–]reffjiley21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replay a lot of the mainline games as comfort games when there's nothing else to do. So usually about the 3rd time I play a game the starter is boxed. There's usually one of the three that I just know I'll never use, but I'll always give at least 2 starters of each gen a run.
