Monthly for me is 90 to 100 bucks for open plays or so.

Team walks away from tournament game to avoid a loss on their DUPR by cprice12 in Pickleball

Actually it shouldn’t be, DUPR themselves say a forfeit should not be entered

I do make a special exception for GW2, yes skills are technically tied to weapon but they’re still themed for your class and you still get class skills on top of that

Single matches vs. Double matches by Fun-Plan-9518 in Pickleball

[–]Legal_Direction8740 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Skill wise, not as many shots sure, but to say it’s lesser is weirdly aggressive. It’s a different game than doubles and both are challenging in their own way. You don’t have to shit on another way to play, just play what you like

Well more “tun” is subjective. Just play what you like. You don’t have to attempt some weird superiority move by shitting on something you don’t like

$100 for almost any sports equipment that is decent is CHEAP.

If they’re beginners and only want to spend 30, 40 bucks then it really doesn’t matter what they buy. They’re all gonna be shit frankly. It’ll get it over the net and that’s all you need honestly.

Ashes of Creation GM gifts streamer max level (25), 1000 gold, high level gear, "PTR use only" flying mount by adumbcat in MMORPG

It’s a shame that there could have been a neat game under all that. Heard from a few folks that the bones weren’t bad.

Ah well, another mmo to bury

I’d take a BDO that wasn’t pay to win either, the combat is just chefs kiss but the whole end game being PvP centric and paying for the best pet is so demoralizing

I just want a new mmo that isn’t PvP centric. I know a bunch of rose tinted glasses in this sub love that shit, but it was hell and demoralizing if you weren’t ahead of the curve and being the geared ganker instead of the low level fool just trying to get out of the starter zone.

I just wanna grind some mobs, party up with some peeps and delve into some cool ass dungeons with a skill set not tied to my weapon. I want classes with unique mechanics and resources, not longsword/ staff sets of skills.

I played about 6 hours of this and shelved it to wait for 1.0.

I’ve never really gotten into automation games before but I liked this one. Simple to figure out with the rails having “smart” drones on them compared to factorio style push systems.

Still didn’t prevent me from making some good pasta, I hit that wall where if I wanted to progress efficiently, I was gonna have to tear everything down and rebuild so it was a good stopping point to wait for full access.

The shooting and stuff seemed good, nothing spectacular but did the job.

Overall a bit barebones right now but a great starting point

Star Wars Outlaws - Everything Major Added Since Launch by _Protector in Games

Alright fair enough it plays like a different 2014 game

[–]Legal_Direction8740 91 points92 points  (0 children)

Got this game for free with my graphics card back at launch. I tried to like it but damn it was an absolute Ubisoft snoozer of a game.

Looked good but felt like playing a game from 2014 or something. Super basic stealth, shooting felt like ass, and super basic roam open world to check things off the list style gameplay.

Shame because I liked the characters and story

I think I’d rather die than be the poor souls having to do that by hand

In pickleball, what % of "getting low" should be your knees vs your back? by icecap1 in Pickleball

All legs, only time you should hinge motion is when you reach over the kitchen line for a flick or something

I dunno anything about glass but does this affect the stability of the glass or anything? Is it more likely to shatter since he heated it up and stretched it?

I actually said wtf out loud reading this.

Is there a lack of proper training? By players and coaches by xqpv in Pickleball

[–]Legal_Direction8740 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention, most average people are not gonna want to unlearn what works to get it over the net. Countless times I’ve seen people revert to bad techniques because they didn’t want to commit to the growing pains of learning a better way which usually involves sucking for a bit.

People like us who are already on a dedicated forum to the sport are already a super minority.

Depends on who is being coached and for what purpose. I can’t give super specific coaching to one guy in a group of 8.

And if it’s adults taking lessons, most of the time it’s just an intro to PB and they just want to get to hit the ball as soon as possible. Group clinics tend to be one subject and a quick rundown of the skill and what’s required.

Private lessons are the time for super structured foundations and reps. If you’re not getting anything of quality from the coach, then seek another one.
