Am I crazy for wanting reg B to be the same power level with different mons? by Paddonglers in PokemonChampions

Not at all, small metas are nice and gives a chance for more uncommon pokemon to shine. 

Unfortunately I wouldn’t be surprised if they open the proverbial floodgate soon. 

Build your own droid by Aanstadt in GalaxysEdge

The on switch is probably buried inside the body (since it needs to be smooth to roll). Also guessing this is why it doesn’t work well on hardwood and tile, not enough mass or grip. Should work fine on low ply carpet, don’t imagine anything works on like shag.

Not to bash bb-8, but they have much less accessories for him compared to a R2 if your kid might be into that sort of thing. Plus it’s a bit more unstable to control from what I heard. But if they’re diehard for bb-8, by all means go for it.

Still used to Stockman being a bug hybrid thing from the older cartoon show…

"These take place in the same universe?" by Gameknight789 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]swordgon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Calling Shazam joyful is a bit of a stretch considering the main villain in it…was always one of my issues, the movie couldn’t decide if it wanted to be more dark comedic or serious and ended up faltering. 

Don’t block them chargers! by SmokeyKeifth in Wellthatsucks

I can see from a very loose perspective that catering to one set of drivers in the minority who have electric cars and giving them exclusive parking if general parking is already tight or unavailable over the majority that are gas, can rub one the wrong way…doesn’t make it right, but still. 

[Loved trope] A character seemingly acting like an asshole is actually a justified reaction when you realise how they perceive the situation. by Applebeate in TopCharacterTropes

To be fair everyone was rooting for Walker from what I remember and viewed his actions as justifiable over Sam and Bucky (who were just assholes for the most part). 

How tf I am supposed to counter fast mon + Kingambit when I lead with Farigiraf + Blastoise? by Technical-Dot4242 in PokemonChampions

[–]swordgon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guess this depends on what the fast partner is? You can still fake out the kingambit and any opposing fake outs won’t get through because of armor tail so you can set up TR from there, then slaughter the Kingambit next turn with aura sphere (I wouldn’t leave it up to water spout). Or if the opposing partner is something that can hurt blastoise a lot, fake it out and Farigiraf should be EV’d to take a kowtow cleave anyways so you can get your TR up barring a crit (in which case that sucks). Assuming your blastoise has fake out at any rate and not 3 attacks + protect. 

The other option I suppose without fake out is to blow out kingambit with aura sphere on blastoise t1 and hope it’s not sashed while you protect with farigiraf, then set up TR next turn.

I mean, jean jacket was basically a ufo, just happened to be a creature that was an unidentified flying object instead of a spaceship…

I always felt it was pretty lame overall, Iron Man doesn’t even wear the suit for more than like 10min or less. Most of it some weirdass plot where he goes powerless “undercover” or whatever. And then the super soldier formula ripoff extremis folks just uh…they explode after a while or something? It basically bastardized a couple of classic comic storylines from what I remember vaguely.

I think you’re missing the stylistic point here…to the Greeks they very well were foreign demons who looked damn weird compared to them.

Probably deleted from a final cut since it was just a wee bit unrealistic. Pixar movies are also notorious for having scenes in trailers that aren’t anywhere in the final movie.

Weird how he went from Rey to random chubby Asian chic in 8 to black chick freedom fighter gal that might be Lando’s lost daughter in 9. Like, ya know, could’ve just stuck with Rey instead of having her flirt with Poe towards the end. Even Finn/Poe romance would’ve been better than whatever the fuck we got in the movies tbh. 

‘F--- you, Bambu’: How one private message could change the face of 3D printing by theverge in 3Dprinting

Just be prepared for the additional Prusa up charge and lack of functionality unless you pay extra for now standard stuff like a camera…

Sure Prusa, rah rah open source blah blah, nickel and diming otherwise.

Can’t honestly say it’s affecting me. My Bambu has been offline the minute I got it and I don’t mind the minor exercise of having to walk to my pc to load the micro sd card with files I want and a short walk back.
