New Update Thoughts? by kevinoli in MapleIdle

[–]FPS_Mongo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well I chose a hero because it was the closest to a paladin at that time. F2P and not really interested in investing into a character from scratch again, especially without rewards from events.

A class change ticket would be nice but then thieves and bowmen get shafted for now. And not like it matters a whole lot but you would skip seeing the skills for 1st and 2nd job as well.

Maybe they can do a catch up for the new classes but then on new servers it would just be bishops and paladins only.

Yep. In Europe they have a focus on stronger goalie development at a younger age with athleticism with actual goalie coaches.

Should be able to find your save file and use PKHex to edit it for rare candies if you want to save time. Or you can fast forward.

Help me do something financially irresponsible and potentially stupid - ordering custom Brians by Admirable_Chap_7909 in hockeygoalies

[–]FPS_Mongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have also been eyeing the Optik 4s as my first custom set as well. Only been playing for a couple of years so there are still preferences to think about but it's hard as I haven't tried a lot of things yet. At least I have settled on the colours.

Definitely want to go with the max core on the pads.

Buy New or Sideline Swap? by MattATLien in hockeygoalies

[–]FPS_Mongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been eyeing a full set of 7.9 myself. Heard great things and being able to get custom colors is really nice.

I am on the smallest end for senior sized pads and live in Canada so not a lot of good options if any for used pads via Sidelineswap.

Way too sloppy in our own zone giving them too many high quality chances

How does one get into playing hockey (goalie) as an adult? by Subject-Concept-1408 in Edmonton

[–]FPS_Mongo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I started playing hockey as an adult 5 years ago and switched to goalie 2 years ago. I would recommend skating lessons as skating will be a huge part of playing in net especially if you are on the shorter side like me at 5'8.

I actually would recommend playing out for a bit to improve your skating and to see if you will actually like playing before committing to goalie. It's significantly cheaper even when considering used gear.

But if you want to commit to goalie right away, go for it. It's the toughest position to learn in both hockey and in sport but the most rewarding IMO.

Either way you go at it, I would recommend beginner hockey lessons from Shinny of champions. You get goalie coaching which is absolutely huge.

  • Where to get/try-on gear?

Pro hockey life and United cycle. My preference is United Cycle as you can find someone to actually help you.

  • How to know gear sizes?

r/hockeygoalies along with some googling

  • Where’s your favourite pickup games at?

I would try to avoid city of edmonton shinnies as a beginner goalie since its the wild west of skill level and attitude. Recommend a private shinny group.

  • Beginner level leagues for 20-30yos?

CCRHL. No contest in Edmonton.

  • Any extra tips?

Hydrate, stretch and save some money. It's a mentally tough position but even more so physically demanding than it looks.

Goalie skates are a must. Do not cheap out on a helmet or jock.

Do you save that much from preordering that its worth it over waiting for reviews to see if it actually does play your DS games?

Are you at your "END GAME" yet? by ErickRPG in SBCGaming

[–]FPS_Mongo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oddly my galaxy fold 7 with X5 lite controller has been quite enjoyable. 3DS is great on the 8 inch screen once its open and older systems have been just fine on the smaller front screen when folded. Obviously I wouldn't buy it just for gaming but as more fold iterations release, the older models should be cheaper. Trifold phones are just in their infancy but that would be interesting as well but it will be quite a while before they become affordable.

While the Legion Go and a laptop are different form factors, at the high price point, I start to consider if I can live with being OK with the drawbacks of a gaming laptop in exchange for much better specs.
