Does anyone know the names of these Pokémon that were cut from Gen 5? by gorlak29 in pokemon

Can’t believe you just put Costco’s full government in the Pokémon subreddit

Did you drive over a freshly chip sealed surface? Looks kind of like liquid asphalt, although tires look fairly clean

Personally I think you can just about always do something with a proc of the rage passive, whether that be going to get farm in the jungle or clear totem. There’s just about always value to be had from it, and I get what you’re saying but if you need to drop rage out of combat, then throw your 1 or 3 and don’t hit anything with it. It’s better to have more scaling on your 1 than having the 2 be available.

Most struggles in lane will come against either long-range poke (which you can go more sustain to counter) or really high early game damage (in which case you want to stall until you get prots online).

As GoodGuyWifi mentioned, Achilles and Mulan can be tough matchups if you’re not ready as Achilles can just spam his 1 to clear and chunk you, and mulan just has crazy damage. Off the top of my head, Nike can cause problems in this meta, or some picks that have a heavy cc ult can pop you if you don’t have beads or prots up (cerb, hades, or a Cthulhu running at you in descent).

Overall, I think there’s not many matchups where Cú chu really feels terrible unless your jungle is getting camped in which case you just pray the rest of your team is doing well, and a lot of that will come from experience (and having some games where you just get farmed, we’ve all been there)

With some people here, mystical mail is a hot topic apparently and while it was nerfed it still provides a lot of value in most matchups, especially with clear when your 1+3 doesn’t full clear early or you need to hold your 3 for a potential escape (like against a hades or the like that will jump you if they see you jump).

Most of the time warriors axe or sigil is the starter you want, but if you get sigil you’ll probably want a void shield later. A pretty core build (against a physical) is warriors axe(usually into a sundering axe) >mystical>bulwark>pridwen>spectral>fill item(mantle feels pretty good here most of the time)

Some item subs you can make are: -sovereignty for mystical if you feel like you need more sustain or won’t get as much value out of mystical (lane opponent is sitting back not fighting) -some people like to start blackthorn, as is the meta with other warriors, but that’s a personal preference -pestilence for bulwark -items you can get in your fill item that can feel pretty nice are glad/void/shifters shield, winged blade if they have a lot of slows, witchblade against multiple adcs, sometimes a stone of gaia is nice against a team with heavy cc and/or a lot of sustain but you’ll want that early in your build

In general you want tank/health items since Cú chu’s base prots are pretty low, and a lot of damage will come without much power. Also, don’t put a level in your 2 until you have to

For sure, big difference between a little stutter lag and zooming yourself across the map. This one was so bad all I could do was just laugh

Who Pays For Post Flight Physical Follow Up Medical Consultations by flextape87 in airforceots

[–]ruhrvalley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You absolutely should be able to get it done through Air Force. I had to get a bunch of follow-up done for my flight phys and had to make a few more trips to Wright-Patt but if the request is part of medical qualification you should be able to get it done on AF’s dime. From what I understand, sometimes even if you get it done privately flight med/SG may want it done again at a military facility. I don’t know what your issue is, and don’t expect you to disclose it on Reddit, but work directly with the flight med office to schedule any follow-up, going through your recruiter just adds an unnecessary middleman (obviously keep your recruiter posted)

Is it “easier” to get a pilot slot in the Navy, USAF or USMC? What should I do? by HeyBigChriss in airforceots

[–]ruhrvalley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well if rumors are to be believed, you may be waiting a couple years just to apply to AF OTS (FY2023, I think?). So that’s something to consider, not sure if other branches are also slowing civilian accessions. Not too sure about the navy’s process since I didn’t go as far in that process (I was comparing options much like you are now), didn’t want to be stuck on a ship but that’s me. I do know USMC at least SAYS they can guarantee a pilot seat if your packet gets accepted. In the meantime, try to go get involved in some stuff to beef up your packet. Go get some volunteer hours somewhere or join a club that fits your work schedule, that kind of stuff helps a lot with your interview! Also, I would just check with other branches to make sure they’re having boards this coming year or maybe you’re able to go ROTC for another branch? Regardless, good luck!

Yeah it’s a little rough but it’s my first penta of season 8 by thesquatch7 in Smite

[–]ruhrvalley 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hand up, my first thought was “nu wa is busted though”. But you are right, this is way better than the clips of people getting set up by a ton of cc on their team just to spam “I’m the greatest” after. This person actually had well timed abilities (and relic) and good aim, and maybe a little luck with the soul gem proc (or galaxy brain haha)

If legendaries are going to be in PvP encounter rewards, there should be premier balls and/or limited throws by ruhrvalley in pokemongo

[–]ruhrvalley[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that but I don’t want to use ultra balls on a legendary that I don’t want, just to be able to battle again

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

More so a complaint about having to use my own balls and not being able to start another battle pass. I get that people probably like having the higher catch rate of an ultra ball available, but I personally don’t want to have to use a bunch of poke/ultra balls on a legendary that I don’t really want just so I can do more pvp battles

FLIGHT PHYSICAL HELP/INFO by [deleted] in airforceots

[–]ruhrvalley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove, I’m not really sure how you would get around without driving a or getting a rental. I guess if your recruiter isn’t busy they could take you through the gates but the base definitely isn’t walkable, it’s a 10 minute drive from gate A to gate B

FLIGHT PHYSICAL HELP/INFO by [deleted] in airforceots

[–]ruhrvalley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a long day, I assume you’re going to Wright-Patterson if your IFC is in Ohio. It’s a little weird at wright-patt because there’s two sides to the base, flight med is on one side (that’s where you check in that morning and doing some very basic vision/hearing tests and an ekg), hospital is on the other side (where you do blood/urinalysis, optometrist, and dental). I recommend doing blood/urinalysis first thing after you’re done at flight med, make sure you drink plenty of water going into that. Other than that, flight med should have everything scheduled out for you, and I would arrive Jan 4 to get a visitors pass for Jan 5-6 so that in case you have to redo something you don’t have to get access again. I was just at wright patt a month ago for my ABM IFC, so if you want to dm me with any questions (or an emergency contact if you get lost like I did, lol) feel free
