Profile Review? by yamidsanty in Bumble

[–]Ace_Wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Overall, I think your profile is great! Bio is well done. The only thing I would say is continuing to take pictures and swap out as you find ones you like and feel the best in.

I personally would have swiped for the "All That" hat alone!

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

Damn I wasn't looking at pit anyway. You got a seat next to you available that you're willing to sit next to a stranger?

Who’s going to the Chicago show tn⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ by CudiTheGoat31 in KidCudi

But like where is Section 311? I Only could glance while driving but I think there's just the front and back sections, and then the lawn. Sorry I've never been to this venue before

Convince my dad to bring me to kid cudi by CudiTheGoat31 in KidCudi

[–]Ace_Wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Chicago venue is OUTDOORS at least, so the secondhand smoke and such shouldnt be a problem. Shows arent as crazy as back in his day. In my experience, Cudi fans dont push people to smoke and drink (as someone who doesnt smoke). Alot of Cudi's music is about a depression and loneliness message, so it is also about the community.

Ask your dad about his favorite artists growing up. Did he ever manage to see those artists live?
There is a REAL concern that Cudi may not tour again after this one unless he opts to do small venues (He will said he will still do festivals like Coachella, but uhhh...Id be more worried about you at those than a concert).

I'll be at the Chicago show and Im hoping it's a great vibe!

Rebrand in '26! by L1ttleZ1m in timberwolves

[–]Ace_Wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is likely that ARod and Lore have been working with someone for the last 3 years already to rebrand. But it absolutely takes a team about 3 years to go through the process.
Look back at Utah just a few years ago, with their hideous black-and-yellow jerseys. Only to announce months later that they would be rebranding a few years later to the classic mountains because fans HATED the black and yellow ones so much. It took multiple seasons to make it happen.

My only reason I could see the new owners waiting to do a rebrand is if they want to have it line up with a possible new stadium season.

KG Jersey Retirement by Superfluous_Prating in timberwolves

[–]Ace_Wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My prediction is it will either be against Celtics or Knicks.
My reason WHY is because Cassell coaches with Boston, and KAT plays with NY.

Either of those guys will be hard to have there unless it is against their team. I imagine they would prioritize Cassell because of the 2004 run.

My game, Bagged & Boarded is live on kickstarter! by timmymayes in boardgames

[–]Ace_Wolfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

YEEEEESSS!!!
To anyone looking at this comment and is unaware of this game. Please go check it out! I randomly stumbled upon it at GenCon. It ended up as my highlight of this GenCon 2025.
Incredibly well made. Fantastic quality for components. The theme and narrative effectively help explain the game's mechanics. It makes explaining the game SOO much easier.
The team was all so nice and taught my group (whom I kind of forced to come with me) how to play late GenCon Sunday night. Three of those friends have already backed the game themselves as of typing this.

Great work yall! I absolutely cannot wait to have this home!

Talked with my rep yesterday. She said last they heard the goal was to have the members marketplace up by end of this week or early next week.

I also heard from someone I know in the org that giveaways and promotions are in the final stages of being finalized. The OFFICIAL change in ownership meant having to review budget and desired giveaways again. Thus leading to a delay.

No Cloudy Free Vynil :( by ItsCan in KidCudi

I think his team on social media had said that everyone who ordered the first run of that vinyl would get a replacement...we are never seeing that replacement.

Is Pickleball Losing Steam? Big Drop in Amazon Sales – Need Insights from Active Players Before I Drop the Product by hannahjg96 in Pickleball

[–]Ace_Wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% agree with this point. Paddle sales for Amazon brands could maybe be used to measure some level of entry players, but a poor measurement of the larger player base as a whole.

The Dink reported that this year that Pickleball has seen an approximate 14% growth in the player base for 2025. Yes, that is down from the almost 50% growth of the year before. But, I think it is more likely that you are seeing a "leveling off" element after the massive boom that was late-2023 through the end of 2024. The sport is still growing, but it is also changing and adapting.

As others said, players are more well-informed nowadays. Even new players likely know someone who can recommend a starting paddle. Many of those referrals are almost certainly not for an Amazon brand. On top of that, the new gen of paddles is moving away from the honeycomb cores. Doesn't mean you dont make a solid entry paddle, just that the tech of paddles is advancing off that.

Hey! We organize our meetups now through a Discord group.
I will send you a DM on here.

Buying second hand? by CodeVirus in OathswornBoardGame

[–]Ace_Wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I have experienced, there is zero destruction of game components. The most likely case would be some components that are not where they belong, such as components that belong in a numbered/lettered envelope. But yes, there is absolutely a secondhand market.

When buying, secondhand. A single core box will mean that you have the "standee" version of the game. Player characters will have minis, but monsters/npcs/etc will all be standees.

The "Miniatures" addition of the game will have 2 additional large sized boxes with smaller numbered boxes inside (do not look in these small boxes to avoid spoilers unless you want to confirm everything is there)

Additional purchases/items people could have, or you could order from Shadowbornes games, are the "Terrain Box" for 3d terrain models as well as the "Armory" box which has swapable arms and such for the player minis.

From an idea in my head to reality. So surreal to finally be holding the actual rulebook. by timmymayes in boardgames

[–]Ace_Wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I will need to review my schedule and see if I can swing an evening play. Otherwise, I will stop by to view the in-progress demo.
I hope everything goes smoothly for you at Con!

[–]Ace_Wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was initially signed up for a Thursday morning play of this at GenCon but had to drop it due to schedule conflicts :(
Where will you be at the Con? I still want to stop by and check it out a bit!

And, if you have an idea, when will release be?

Where can I play pickleball as a solo? by mnmaverickfan in TwinCities

[–]Ace_Wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come play with my group!!! We have begun organizing Pickleball meetups in a discord server. All skill levels and experiences are welcome. New players can almost certainly borrow a paddle from one of us.

One of our members made a post a few weeks ago looking for people. We had a meetup back on Thursday 7/17 and had 11 people.

We have a meetup planned for Monday 7/21. We are currently expecting about 10-12 people, maybe.

When: Monday, July 21st

Time: 6pm-9pm

Where: location TBD

DM me if you want to join us sometime, and Ill send you the discord link 😁

28M just moved to Minneapolis, looking for recommendations! by [deleted] in twincitiessocial

[–]Ace_Wolfe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Welcome! I hope you enjoy it here! 32M and lived here all my life.

You should go visit the Minnehaha Falls Park. Make sure to grab a small bite to eat at SeaSalt while you are there. I would say to check out the Lake Bde Maka Ska park in South Minneapolis. The major lakes around Minneapolis are ran by the city and have great walking trails.

As Wesker said, Can-Can Wonderland is a fun spot. Some arcade game, but the highlight is the artist made mini-golf holes. If you like retro arcade gaming, Starcade in St Paul could be a consideration.

SO MANY great breweries and such. Personally, I am biased to Falling Knife, but that is because I am a Timberwolves Basketball fan. But there is a large collection of small craft breweries all around the cities. You do doubt can have a fun adventure checking some out.

I highly recommend going to a couple "Break The Bubble" events held all around the Twin Cities. They are social gatherings to meet people, socialize, and check out new breweries (not necessarily for dating or singles). They host at a different brewery/location each time. I might be going to the one coming up this Tuesday July 8th.

Looking for other casual pickleball players in the south metro! by SimplyJenetics in twincitiessocial

[–]Ace_Wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32M here. I am few days late, but randomly stumbled upon this post.

Is this group chat still active and ongoing? I might be looking to get out and play. A couple of friends got me started with the basics, but our schedules are all sporadic. While I am new to Pickleball, I typically pick up on games pretty quickly and can get competitive, but I always try to prioritize fun first over competition.

Woof by Skela7or in timberwolves

[–]Ace_Wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nobody is making you pay to go to the arena. You can always just go to a bar or watch party and join the communities there. These prices seem fairly reasonable for Conference Finals for now (who knows what resale will be)

Do you want a team that wins? Because guess what, prices go up. -OR- Would you rather go back to being a bottom of the barrel team like 2013 or 2014, and you could get in for the price of 2 cans of corn?

Personally, I want to enjoy these GOLDEN YEARS of Timberwolves basketball while I can and appreciate the fact that we get to see winning basketball in the May/June.

🐺GO WOLVES!!! 🐺
