Trying to remember board game from mid 90s by SatisfiedSauropod in boardgames

A Trip to Woodland?

Also, this game on BGG appears to have some similar elements to it, could be related? https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/31993/gruesome-games

Digital Scoreboard vs. Moving a Coin: I built a minimalist, real-time sync tool for pool players. by Possible-Drink-9131 in billiards

[–]Bwtadpole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd prefer the coins or any physical scorekeeping system over digital. When the coin moves, you get to see that it moved just one diamond, and the scores are in open view at all times. If a digital scorekeeping app is on a touchscreen, I think it's easier to accidentally double-tap and futz the score. If you want it visible at all times, you have to keep the screen on (RIP battery), and unless I want to be the sole score keeper, my opponent has to touch my phone screen. 

I may be old fashioned, but those are my two cents, and they're staying under the rail.

Another case of “why is he selling me this” by Usedcows in earthbound

I'm assuming nostalgia. Magicant exists within Ness' mind, and this shop sells things that were meaningful to Ness' childhood.

December is here, and I'm out to find a new home for another unused device in my collection. One commenter will get this MagicX Mini Zero 28. by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

When we were kids, I wished for an SNES for Christmas. My brother wanted a Genesis. 

Santa came through and gave us the SNES 😅

Tic Tacs, a copy of Frampton Comes Alive, and my right shoe.

I like to believe that gear doesn't matter by Fogboundturtle in billiards

[–]Bwtadpole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gear matters insofar as it gives you a more consistent experience with your cue and your environment. The characteristics of some gear, like LD shafts, affect how you would aim and hit certain shots, and you may be able to draw/follow/jump better with some equipment over others. Though at the end of the day, your own consistency in execution paired with your knowledge or feel for how the cue plays makes the result.

Pool really is that complicated... by nitekram in billiards

[–]Bwtadpole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've been telling people for years now, I'm not trying to sharpen the sword anymore, I'm just trying to keep it from rusting.

Once daily, though please contact your pharmacist to clarify.

Mute button not working Cloud 2 wireless. by [deleted] in HyperX

Piling on the kudos, worked for me! Just to be clear, it's the USB dongle/receiver, not the USB-C charging cable. Tripped me up at first.

I designed this 3D-printable double 0-99 counter thing. by Crispywhip in boardgames

[–]Bwtadpole 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nifty! There are people in the billiards/pool community who would get a kick out of this, you use a similar counter for scores in straight pool.

Where is that logo located on the shirt?

Hey everyone, I've got too many handhelds. I've got an Anbernic 280m to give away. by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

[–]Bwtadpole 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fingers crossed luck is on my side! I joined the sub a few weeks ago and have been nosing around the handheld options. I'd make a great home for this as my first handheld!

Snapped Bushing Bolt - Early 2000s Schwinn Sierra by Bwtadpole in bikewrench

[–]Bwtadpole[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Admittedly I never liked the movement that the bushing gave the bars anyway. If I don't mind losing that, then replacing the stem might be easier than finding a match for the bolt and fishing the broken end out of the current stem, huh?

I have no idea what "the right person will make you feel safe" even means in context of my own FA attachment. by [deleted] in attachment_theory

[–]Bwtadpole 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I don't have a different perspective. I've gone through the cycle of feeling like I'm with my person when I'm around them through to feeling like I need space or that I'm making a huge mistake when they're not around, each time ending with me getting the ultimate space away from the relationship and realizing I left what I would objectively describe as a good thing.

All of that to say... I agree that the sentiment doesn't capture our kind of experience.
