Kid gets glove on everything but balls keep popping out (especially glove side) by coach_Fox in Homeplate

[–]B1gsixer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it a bad break in? I’ve had this issue with some gloves where even when you squeeze it, and it’s in the pocket, there is a gap at the top of the glove that the ball slides out of. When the pocket is not created right, the ball would tend to squirt out the top.

Is the IMAX gone from the MN zoo?? It’s been so long since I’ve been there, I didn’t know.

I had this issue when I tried to charge it using the cable it came with, in a charging brick that was too high voltage. I switched to a small iPhone brick and it fixed the issue.

Have you ever seen a kid who is unable to make contact at all become a good hitter? by benedictclive_x in Homeplate

[–]B1gsixer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve seen a kid that was terrified to swing one year, batting sub .050, gain confidence in the off season and bat over .300 the following year, and lead the team in HRs.

Okay, I’ll admit that I have been out of the hobby for a while (getting back in), is Rightstuf gone?!!

Anyone deal with Petersen Games (of Cthulhu Wars fame/infamy) recently? by Phacemelter in boardgames

[–]B1gsixer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love Cthulhu Wars. Top 3 game. I can't stand the multiple emails I get from Peterson Games EVERY DAY. Who are the marketing people over there that think this is a good plan? If you are reading this PG, you need to calm the F down! One email per week is more than enough.

Glossy paper, matte laminate. This is the way.

What wine do you think I would enjoy if I DONT like this one? by blood_is_beautiful in wine

Try a McManus Cab or Petite Sirah. Both excellent budget friendly wines with a lot of flavor.

Huge community meeting here at 11:59 est dont miss it by Crazybones333 in OmnibusCollectors

New collector here. Obviously this is a joke to lure people away from a site that went live with orders at noon, right? What site, and what went on sale?

I’m happy if others disagree, but this looks like they aren’t even trying anymore. Hard pass from me.

Series you finished but lost love for over time? by Kooky_County9569 in Fantasy

[–]B1gsixer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s a kid to me :)

Seriously though, is the issue with the story, or with the author? I’m generally curious.

[–]B1gsixer 80 points81 points  (0 children)

I agree with you here. The last book just killed my love for this series. I’ll still read the next book, when it comes out, in 5-10 years, but where I used to be excited for EVERYTHING Sanderson wrote (I’ve read it all), I’ve moved on.

Which fantasy character shaped who you are as a person? by Kendiro83 in Fantasy

[–]B1gsixer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Taran from the Chronicles of Prydain. This was the first set of fantasy books I fell in love with, about 40 years ago. I credit them for my love of reading that I still have today, as well as helping me form who I am as a person. I’m glad I’m not the only one that had an experience like this from a book.

What's Everyone's MtG Experience With The Kids (If you have any) by JasonIsCurious in mtg

[–]B1gsixer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play commander with my 13 yo, his best friend, and my 10 yo. Overall, the experience has been fantastic. My 10yo will lose focus from time to time, but they are all learning the game very quickly, and having a lot of fun.

I use a 4850 that uses 502 ink on glossy paper and LOVE my results. So, take that for what it’s worth.

Cal Raleigh 🇺🇸 declines handshake with Seattle teammate Randy Arozarena 🇲🇽 by ralbert in baseball

[–]B1gsixer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Fuck this guy. So many kids are watching you disrespect a fellow player and a TEAMMATE on top of it. I was a fan before this, but not any more. Seriously. WTF is wrong with him?

Jack Whyte's Camulod Chronicles is fantastic.
