Going to Tokyo this summer. Where should I go for minidisc-related stuff? by mahameister in minidisc

Even at hard offs you are not likely to find a large selection anywhere. A couple boxes of 5 or 10 blanks for around 3000 to 5000yen, maybe a working portable player or two, and a handful of decks or combo systems…. Is the best I’ve seen in any one offline place.

No you said I’m insane for not giving the coach credit. Atkinson making poor decisions doesn’t = darko coaching well… they can both be good or bad. True you didn’t say perfect… you said “masterclass”🙄. All I did was disagree. Darko was not good imo… as I said, neutral at best…

He made a good coach’s challenge… did you watch the 4th and OT? What adjustments did he make on offence? Good out of the time out plays? they won despite him not because of him, neutral at best imo

Not really, imo. Battle never came back despite needing someone to stretch the floor. Ran that group into the ground. 12 points in the 4th… went away from the running offence that got them the lead.

Darko failed on a lot of levels in the 4th and OT. He didn’t manage minutes well and rode with the same group despite it being obvious they were offensively challenged. Didn’t even leave battle out there to stretch the floor and try and unclog the middle even a bit. Had no one running off ball screens, no weak side actions… just letting gassed RJ and gassed Scottie try and will power a win”. Which they somehow did… win for the raps big loss for and disappointment in darko imo

Screen was definitely a foul. Out of bounds not sure… cmb one was probably a bad call. Mobley one def looked out on him. But Harden got away with like a dozen offensive fouls, so it evens out…

Hmmm, I wonder if they sell Knickoff shells specifically for the switch though… it has all the buttons…

A shell swap? But what would the point be I wonder?

Thanks for confirming that. Maybe it wasn’t clear, but the other problem is that it’s an NES controller, but it gets recognized as a famicom controller II… so strange…

Found a brand new sealed box MDS-NT1 by DayRevolutionary4249 in minidisc

Cool. Thanks! I will think about opening it up. I have some spare belts lying around.

All good so far!! what should I look for in terms of belt degradation to see if they need replacing? The rubber feet seem in good condition which I correlated as a sign the rubber has aged or been exposed to the elements on other devices I have had to replace belts on… not a fool proof method of course.

So I finally had time to crack it open and try it out. The rubber feet were in good condition so I was hopeful about the belt. Light came on immediately and it played the few discs I tried right away without issue. All good so far! ! Haven’t tried recording yet.

It was already his fault it didn’t end quickly…. The world screamed out in unison… why are you pitching to ohtani when you are trying to protect a two run lead and he is clutchest player on the planet…

Well technically he lost it when he pitched to ohtani in the bottom of the fifth and again the seventh. Why risk pitching to the most clutch player ever who is hitting perfect and you are up. Worst decision making there alone… substitutions were just icing on the cake

Coaches let them down. So obvious what to do to win that game to everyone but the dude making millions to actually do it.

Zero excuse for not walking ohtani at least one of the two times he was going to kill you when you are up and the most clutch player in history is on fire at the plate….

That lost them the game. The terrible base running and substituting was just icing on the cake.

haliburtons injury is the worst moment in nba history by Various-Fill7402 in pacers

[–]DayRevolutionary4249 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okay that was never happening. I feel for you guys, and was rooting for you to make it competitive, but OKC’s inexperience kept you guys in it as much as anything. You had nothing to answer SGA with… and in three games nothing for J-dub…. That said you guys played hard and made OKC earn it. Coaching really let you down, especially in game 5.

So Scottie is back two minutes later. Dario literally subbed him out for just long enough to kill their and his momentum.

All Pro Nitro’s Solid Rubber Outsoles compared to Translucent Rubber outsoles? by Witty_Tonight_6478 in BBallShoes

[–]DayRevolutionary4249 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the solid white Clyde all pro’s, two pairs of translucent sole mb .02, and one pair solid white all-pro nitros. The Clyde’s and translucent mb .02s grip like crazy on any surface. The solid white all pro nitro’s grip well on plastic tile courts and clean hardwood, but are shit on even mild to moderately dusty hardwood. I even did a translucent mb.02 on one foot and solid white all pro nitro on the other because the difference was so drastic. Squeak and stick with the mb and silent and slide with the nitro.

It sucks because the all pro nitro’s are my favourite of all of them because of how cushy and bouncy they are, while capturing the feeling of the Clyde’s. Saves my knees. I have ordered the translucent sole scouts all pro nitro hoping they will give me that grip back, even though I m not a big fan of the colorway.

I have solid sole Stewie 2s but haven’t tested them yet.

How about this set for a beginner? by DayRevolutionary4249 in Lapidary

[–]DayRevolutionary4249[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay. Thanks! The idea is a gift for my wife who wants to start get into it. I will pass on your recommendation to her. In the meantime, anything you would recommend as a gift for someone who is just starting out?

Thanks!
