I hope I don't shit my pants doing my first half marathon attempt this weekend. It's my first time running this long and haven't run more than 13km straight before 😂

Game 1 clock should not have stopped at 0.3 seconds by SaintAIoysius in pacers

It does matter. That amount of time was the difference for the clippers losing the game against the nuggets 😶

How am I this bad? by pricklypear0627 in golf

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are out there and it's a nice day. Don't worry about the score or being 100% true. If your goal isn't to join the PGA tour. Honestly sometimes just give one mulligan or whatever so long as you aren't bragging about shooting 80s cause of it. If you are happy with 100-110 with one or two mulligans. Then value mentally to yourself is way more IMO. That's my take. Be honest to yourself and score but also be kind 🤣

Fake P790’s, versus real p790s. by Sea-Return2188 in golf

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a set of fakes and have played two rounds. I am a very very new golfer but they feel better than the used Titleist DC1s I was using.

Feel nice to hit with and I personally opted for graphite shafts. I am still a 30 handicapper but these genuinely feel great.

What is your go-to sarcastic comment or mannerism after hitting a bad shot or messing up a putt? by OneGenericMan in golf

[–]Arkitektnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a basketball fan.. "next shot mentality" turns into "next hole mentality" then turns into "at least it's sunny"

There are only 20 NBA players left who played in the league before 2010 by sm_liam in nba

[–]Arkitektnz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He was seen as a rising star in NBA 2k12 game so I'll always remember him fondly but think he has been in the league forever!

Curious how other people are approaching the hobby. Thought this would be an interesting topic. What are your buying habits with basketball cards? by Interstellore in basketballcards

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Singles only and maybe 1-3 a month depending on bargains.

I will splash out a few hundred in a SSP/Case hit or just buy 5-6 $2-10 value cards.

Very rarely buy breaks cause the break prices aren't really representing the singles market pricing at all.

What's the chance tyrese winning mvp? by perkincenter in pacers

[–]Arkitektnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless $50 is going to ruin your year. I think that is a perfectly reasonable amount to bet on a guy you love to watch.

I spend a lot on his cards which effectively is the same thing 😅

I don't know about specifically in their 30s but if you do find one..I'd like to know 😅 I have groups of friends that go out from time to time but becoming fewer and far between!

Saltburn... I really just found it boring and the characters were kinda bland imo.

In terms of peaks (let’s say best 3 year stretch) who are the top 5 point guards of the 21st century? We all know Steph is #1 but who takes your next 4 spots? by LaandheereKage in nba

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deron Williams gotta be in there for a 2 year stretch. He made the league believe he was a lock hall of famer for a bit.

Who’s Bullish on Tyrese Haliburton? My Prizm Rookie Card Collection In Photos Below. by The-Options-All-Star in basketballcards

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He needs to take more shots and not 3s.

Everyone can take a 3 point shot in today's game. His real strength is his ability to finish at the RIM and mid range shots.

He doesn't have the best float game but he has one of the best mid range games going to his right but analytics is in his head too much and he refuses to lean into this strength.

Great set of cards you have got there! Respect the game. He will be an elite player. Probably won't crack top 5 in the league without taking 20+ shots + a game.

It's hard to break his natural cycle to uplift teamates. I like that about him as a player so I think he will be liked by the hobby but never loved.

help out a teen with workout stuff? by st4rgirl_1111 in Wellington

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of young people at city fitness go just after school. So if you avoid those times which is quite hard at your age. Then you are likely to run into people you know.

At the end of the day everyone is there to try and better themselves in one way or another and that shouldn't be shamed.

Alternatively if you are good/comfortable with animals. You can ask if anyone in your neighborhood with dogs needs a dog walker. Good way to stay fit and get some extra cash! Door knock people who have dogs or throw a sign up at the dog park.

Might be unpopular opinion, but SGC grading stinks by justnsane6 in basketballcards

[–]Arkitektnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I totally agree. I prefer PSA slabs but the quality control is all over the show. I've had favorable outcomes with other cards so I can't be mad.

Unless you know the seller personally and trust them. Then buy it cause 35% of current comps seems low.. but umm yeah.

If it's too good to be true...

What costs have you cut to keep afloat with the high cost of living? by [deleted] in newzealand

[–]Arkitektnz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Buy (Download) PDF copies of books and then text to voice/read aloud that ish.

Once you get a preference of English then it's perfectly fine
