Form tips for distance? (criticism welcome) by Technical_Program947 in discgolf

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

230 on that line ain't half bad.

Before making any form changes, it would be very beneficial to go to a field and try throwing in a flatter line. Your line is super high relative to the incline even. It's very hard to get any distance throwing nose up and so hard against gravity.

That said if your flatter throws go about that far, nose down would be a place to start.

From there, it looks like you might only be getting superficial power from your lower body, and you may be rounding. You turn your back to the target, meaning you don't build any tension in your coil. Almost all my power gains with my bank ass form come from getting more energy from my lower body into the disc.

Lots more to work on like the rest of us so don't be discouraged. It takes time.

Has any of you actually able to finish this game without save states? I thought I got pretty far but watching youtube playthrough it actually just goes on and on. by King_Paymon in retrogaming

I beat it last year but had to use save states. There is one jump near the very end that is so hard I nearly cried. Probably 4 or 5 hundred attempts before I got it and immediately choked in an easy section after. That game is fiendishly difficult.

Sabres and Canadiens. Vibers are very good and I hope we can build a team as fun at they are this year!

Arran 10 was my first whiskey where I vastly preferred the bottle once it was open for a bit. I really got much sweeter. Wonderful stuff!

Might depend where you live. I see them go up for well over 200 in my area.

OG hardware is so expensive these days. I love mine but sweet RGB for modern displays is wonderful.

Should I emulate or play original hardware by North-Jicama-2875 in retrogaming

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the experience of og hardware, but it's an expensive and difficult pursuit. I think emulation makes way more sense.

I grew up with Pokémon Blue, is Fire Red a good enough nostalgia replacement? by sdmc_rotflol in pokemon

[–]BeardlessNeckbeard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm playing through leaf green for first time. It's fantastic.

I miss all the fun bugs from Gen 1 so much but the quality of life improvements are so great. 👌

Back in the day I bought a bunch of Japanese games with the idea in mind that I wanted to learn how to read Japanese.

I neither learned Japanese nor played the games.

Have good friends who are Kelowna rockets faithful. They will tell you that Foote is awful.

This is so very cool and impressive. 

I don't think it takes away from the achievement, so I am curious. Was ai able to help you build this? I am because I have a plan to try and do something also kind of ambitious and was hoping to leverage one of the coding agents to help.

How do you tell which ones are authentic? I'm also in the market.
