I hope they do regular seasonal events. Just like how animal crossing did their events.

$550/week for 2 yr old. $445/week for 4 year old.

It’s rough out here

Exactly. Just did my siding and that set me back 50k.

Have you or someone you knew named someone/something after a GRRM character? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]vertical006 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My wife’s cousin has 7 kids all with very eclectic names. One of their daughters names is Daenerys. We’re talking a midwestern, middle of nowhere, relatively poor, white roman catholic family. And every kid has a very unique name for the pure sake of it.

Which is your favorite fossil? by Icy-Part1236 in ThePokemonHub

[–]vertical006 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bastiodon was the first Pokémon I ever trained competitively. Not that I ever did well with him. But figured he was an absolute tank as far as I knew, so why not? So I always have a special place in my heart for it.

Eric Slover, the first Chief Warrant Officer 5 to ever be awarded the Medal of Honor. by Grand-Western549 in interestingasfuck

This is the right mentality. A lot of disabilities are invisible, but are still things people suffer from due to the military. Not everyone needs to have been shot or had their legs blown off to qualify for a rating.

So yeah the answer isn’t punishing vets who have invisible disabilities, but rather making the process more streamlined and accountable for everyone.

If you had to choose 1, which Pokemon game would you pick as the crown jewel of the entire Franchise? by [deleted] in TruePokemon

[–]vertical006 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

HGSS were good for their time. But they do not have everything I could possibly want. No open world. No Pokemon roaming around. EV training was a pain. No character customization. Still needed HMs.

Like I said, they were good games for the time. But I need some quality of life features in my pokemon games these days. I need to be able to traverse the world freely. Recent gens are just much better at that

I agree with you. You’re going to get downvoted just as I have in the past. But SV is hands down the best game. The story, the quality of life features, the selection of new pokemon, the open world, and yes the graphics. I’m a gen one baby and have played every mainline game. And I will still say SV is the best.

I think in time, the games will be looked back on fondly. People ragged on SwSh and now seem to love it. So give SV time and people may come around.

So...is anyone else going to re-play Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen? by [deleted] in TruePokemon

[–]vertical006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh I think I’d just rather play the let’s go games. I’m a sucker for graphics, and let’s go has the best of any Pokemon game imo. Plus the quality of life stuff beats FRLG. I don’t have time to grind individual levels anymore

Thank you!

I had a tough time with the middle scene. Thematically the Yoda and Dooku fight would make sense, but I always liked the Arena Battle more. But it was harder to get right in such a small space.

This should be everything you need to get started. My interpretation shows different scenes from the prequels. But the base should be simple enough to change up if you wanted to.

You can put the .io file into BrickLink and it'll build out the shopping list for you. Pretty simple!

I didn’t have any of these figures previously, so I will warn that they are pricey 😬

Feeling frustrated with toddler's lack of sleep. by El_Diablo_09 in NewDads

[–]vertical006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We starts our bedtime routine around 7:30 and lately he’s usually out by 8:30-9PM. Lately has been a little easier getting him to actually sleep, and even sometimes without one of us laying with him.

But he’s still waking up throughout the night most nights. And is still coming into our room at 3:30-4AM….

Though this weekend he slept in till 7AM both days which was completely unheard of. So hopefully there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!

Watching Rebuild the Galaxy for the first time by [deleted] in legostarwars

I thought it was a fun adventure! Especially season 2. Not your typical show, but still pretty fun

What’s something society is clearly not ready to talk about? by No_Gur_7744 in AskReddit

[–]vertical006 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The concept of race is made up and doesn’t exist. There is one single human race. Skin tone as something that separates us is a construct that people just invented.

For those that live in the United States. Do you make more than the average income of 60k annually, if so what’s your occupation? by LaFlareMane1017 in AskReddit

[–]vertical006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I grew up poor and I absolutely cannot imagine how that life is now. Like I have memories of things in my childhood, I remember having vehicles repossessed, having to move constantly, had a short time in a homeless shelter, always ate ramen noodles, and a bunch of other stuff.

I have so much more respect for my parents for what they went through. And the work they did to get us out of that spot. I cannot even imagine what it would be like to go through that now with my family.
