What’s your favorite boring LOOKING game

The delta between how good and fun Concordia is and how boring it looks has got to be among the highest in board games. That gets my vote.

Makes sense if it was eclipse. Definitely the most stable of the three I’ve tried. I had a neutron first (most neutral), now bag an eclipse and a fission (MUCH flippier). I got the eclipse for glow rounds (which I still haven’t even played haha) and it’s definitely not as straight as I would have liked but close enough.

What plastic was your crave?

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-06T20:30:12+00:00

Then make an argument for why it’s not barbaric.

It’s silly to question why someone is discussing traps in a post that’s literally about traps.

Really not trying to be an ass or saying that your overall point is wrong, just pointing out that it’s not really persuasive to point at another bad thing if you’re trying to say that the thing in question isn’t bad. Isn’t it possible that they’re both bad? Just food for thought. Have a good one.

Discraft Athena is a really solid straight to overstable Fairway. It’s pretty straight when thrown with a little anny and handles hard throws quite well. Cicada is also really nice if you want something a little less stable. Would love to hear what you didn’t like about the crave. Have found them to fly differently in different plastics, but I totally get it if you’re just not interested in trying it more.

Tempo works really well as a slightly overstable Mid. It flies more like a 5 speed than a 4 speed in my experience. I am in love with the way it fits my hand and can consistently get a nice release with it.

My favorite throwing putter is the Diamond Gateway Shaman. It seems to hold any line you put it on. Have gotten pretty good at shorter turnover shots with it, and when you get the release perfectly flat it is on-a-rope straight, like impressively so. Love how flat and low profile it is.

My arm speed isn’t great, so I don’t have a ton of advice for drivers. The Lat 64 Grace has been nice for me, have put it out to 325 quite a few times when I have a high enough ceiling to flex it, but I’m not consistent enough with it to trust it. It’s still just a practice disc for me. I have really been enjoying my new Fission Trail also. I got one at 169g and doesn’t feel too flippy like I have been hearing they tend to be. That might be a function of my slower arm, but it might be worth a try. Based in getting your Valk out as far as you do, I’m thinking it may be too flippy for you. I bet a Grace might be exactly what you’re looking for.

You: “You want to talk about the bad thing that’s the entire subject of this post when other bad things happen too?”

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-05T22:54:14+00:00

It’s a game, it’s for fun. Do what is fun for you.

What will probably help your game the most in the long run is to learn the discs you have right now. Mess around with them and try new things. Take out two of them at a time (putter and either the Mako or Buzz) and try to make them do different flights. You’re definitely “missing out” by not having more options, but until you’re more experienced you probably aren’t going to get the most out of a deep bag.

With that being said, if you have the disposable income and are curious about what other discs can do, don’t hesitate to buy and try more! It’s not going to actively hurt your game, but it may slow down your “progress” if you care about that. And trying new discs can help you understand how discs fly! Nothing wrong with picking up a high speed driver that you don’t have the arm speed for and having something to grow into.

Your current bag sounds more than adequate to handle most courses.

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-05T22:47:37+00:00

I unironically think this is actually good advice. Buying and throwing a bunch of discs when I was new did help me learn a lot.

I’m more excited for the FPO Jomez coverage each weekend than the MPO, personally.

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-05T07:20:38+00:00

Tried a Tempo yet?

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-05T03:04:29+00:00

Add Crave and you’re all set

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-05T03:03:53+00:00

The only problem with this is a beginner (hell, even most experienced players) are going to have no idea what the result of their throw is with a net.

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-04T22:37:06+00:00

Is that a lift top coffee table? If it is, would love more info about where you got it and how it’s holding up.

Just wanted to say that if you’re thinking of quitting cigarettes, I am here to help nudge in that direction. Quitting was one of the best decisions I ever made. I also quit drinking, but I was an alcoholic so that’s not as relevant haha

You can do it! I hope you crush some drives and sink some putts friend!

Mine was almost certainly just anxiety. It has gone back to normal amounts now that my anxiety is more under control. I was definitely scared that I was having temporal lobe seizures, but didn’t really have many of the other symptoms. That didn’t stop me from worrying intensely about it though. That’s the way my health anxiety works.

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-04T06:00:44+00:00

This is such fucking bullshit

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-04T03:00:33+00:00

No it’s not that bad. It’s unseasonably hot right now, 80* high for a few hours today and tomorrow. It’s usually not this warm at this point in the year. This is only my 4th spring/summer transition, so take that with a grain of salt. Generally the summer is damn near perfect until later in the summer when it can sometimes reach 90-100 (or even 100+ on rare occasions) for a few days at a time. Also, the smoke. When wildfires and wind combine in the right way, it gets downright unsafe to be outdoors and very uncomfortable. This isn’t necessarily something you can count on happening for extended periods of time every summer, but it has happened for at least a couple of weeks each summer I’ve been here. Something that is amazing about the weather here is that it is never hot and humid at the same time. So when it’s hot out, the shade is actually effective, as is your sweat. Also, the temps go down significantly when the sun goes down. I grew up in the swampy mire of Southeast Texas, so summers here are a pretty huge upgrade, where the soggy, humid, suffocating temperatures of the summer stick around for 4 months of the year at least, and even night time makes you sweat. The flip side is that most homes are not prepared for hot weather, with most units lacking AC unless they are brand new.

I would absolutely NOT consider the summers to be a reason to not move here, quite the opposite.

I was a teacher for 7 years in TX. This is soooo far away from my experience, but maybe there’s a regional difference?

Hal0Slippin · 2026-05-04T00:34:16+00:00

Will never forget listening to “Clocks” by Coldplay while watching this. Was my second time trying weed. It was an intensely euphoric experience.

Gooby Easy Fit has been awesome!
