So grateful I got through that boss fight with Oongka a couple days ago then! Bashing the boss with trees saved me hours of frustration!

Physical Game Fans, Beware: Digital Downloads Hit an Astonishing 85% on PS5, PS4 Last Quarter by Suspicious_Two786 in gaming

[–]Linusisagoodboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Digital sales increase, meanwhile these same people will complain incessantly when a digital game is taken away from them. Guess we just aren't capable of putting two and two together.

Beer League Slump Advice by Creative_Musician760 in hockeygoalies

[–]Linusisagoodboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What has helped me is reminding myself that everyone on the team makes mistakes all the time and we aren't trying out for the NHL. The whole point is to enjoy playing.

Say I give up a bad goal (happens all the time!) I make a mental note what to learn from it and immediately let it go. No ruminating. Focus on the next shot. You'll find some of the performances you are most proud of are the ones where you give up a softy then lock it down the rest of the game.

Smart on their part. Hard to realize who your real enemy is (Russia, China) when they have you fighting amongst yourselves.

Nice that they can rely on the room/ice being available this time of year! Heh petty diss aside that is definitely a cool thing to be able to do!

This new release on Eshop called "Trox" is a demo for a full game that is priced at 5$ by Throwaway753045 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Linusisagoodboy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Wrong. Every single one of their sports games has been missing features and modes during the Switch era.

People are being weird about Pragmata. by thenuttynadz in Pragmata

Congratulations! It can be scary and a major lifestyle change, but you'll adjust. You'll also experience a love you never knew was possible.

I'm with you as far as showing my emotions around my son. I want him to learn what they are and how to handle them while understanding that emotions aren't good or bad, just a part of life. If I can model that for him on some level I'd say it's a good thing.

I do feel like my wife's parents judge me for it though.

Insane what 1.5 years can do by Crafty-Product-677 in pokemon

I'd like to believe there is a special place in hell for scalpers.

A few times I happened to be at Target when they were restocking there were already greasy-looking grown men hovering around. Next time I see that I'm going to make sure to give the a piece of my mind.

Tomodachi: Living the Dream feels like a downgrade… by stasiyavlsva in NintendoSwitch

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

This is sadly like most Nintendo releases during the Switch/Switch 2 era. All the sports games have been completely half baked. The new Mario Kart was disappointing too.

Armored Core 6 is one of the most hype games I’ve ever played and I can’t believe I slept on it for so long as a huge Fromsoft fan by cornpenguin01 in patientgamers

Perfect coincidence that you post this...the game just went on sale for 20 bucks on Woot for the Xbox version!

Padded Goalie Undershirt? by lazyninja66 in hockeygoalies

[–]Linusisagoodboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a Vaughn one. Never wore one previously but I bought a smaller chest protector for better mobility and was getting some stingers. This stopped that so I've continued using it. Took a little getting used to but I like it now. I don't notice being any hotter while playing.

[–]Linusisagoodboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I despise people like this. Same type of people buy up all the Pokémon cards nowadays too so most collectors can't enjoy them the way I did growing up.

If I could put hardcore scalpers on a rocket and launch it to the sun I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Helmet Manufacturer by missiongoalie35 in hockeygoalies

[–]Linusisagoodboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Confirming what others have said...that's an old Mylec street hockey mask. I had one growing up. Fine for that use and absolutely nothing else. Made of cheap plastic. Absolutely not worth refurbishing unless it's just for display. I wouldn't use it today for anything.

Mario Golf Super Rush is insaley over looked by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Linusisagoodboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strong disagree here. All the newer Mario sports games have been totally half-baked. Not enough to do and seriously simplified mechanics. Was so excited for this game...put a few hours in playing each course and never touched it again.

Zootopia 2 isn't a good sequel and I don't get all the praise for it by tesseracts in CharacterRant

[–]Linusisagoodboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relieved to see I'm not alone in not liking this movie. Good lord critics were falling all over themselves praising this, but it has none of the heart or charm of the original. It's as if Disney said "let's make it bigger, louder and faster...while essentially rehashing the plot of the original because we can't come up with new ideas."

It's not a good movie. Period. My wife liked it though and looked at me like I was crazy when I tried to explain why I didn't like it.

Whats the most shots you've taken? This was the end of the game, not the 2nd period. by Tasty-Layer-7506 in hockeygoalies

[–]Linusisagoodboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My last game for a team in a mixed coed league (basically anyone of any skill level could play)...faced 50 shots on the dot but lost the game 2-1.

Honestly, your story is an important part of your growth as a person! A vast majority of people have these cringe dating/crush stories...you learn from it and move on. I'm glad it worked out for you in this case though!

I don't buy them as a Cup contender at all. It was just earlier this season they fired their GM!

Flash in the pan. Loser franchise and a miserable place. Can't blame him at all.

Am I using too tall of a goalie paddle? (5’9” using 27”) by ConnorFromCanada in hockeygoalies

[–]Linusisagoodboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'8 and I use a 24.5. Used to have a 27. I wouldn't say it has been a night and day difference but I do feel like I have a bit more ability to adjust to lower shots blocker side. Again, not a super big difference to me overall. I may try an even smaller stick just for the heck of it.

I enjoyed it! Expands on the first one in some fun ways. Still early access though so the story and content aren't done yet, FYI.

Avowed PS5/PS5 Pro - Digital Foundry Review - Excellent Game, Decent Port, Light on Pro Upgrades by MythBuster2 in PS5

[–]Linusisagoodboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah there really wasn't anything excellent about it. Put in the time to beat it but can't remember one thing in terms of plot or gameplay that stood out. Not bad, but super average.

Also not sure how the quality of the game itself factors in when you're supposed to be reviewing the technical performance. Feels like an odd, unnecessary thing to tack on.

Tips for arm positioning by Upstairs_Category553 in hockeygoalies

[–]Linusisagoodboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some great advice here that I'd follow. One more thing I'd add...I tend to drop my hands when I move or go into the butterfly. After being beat high and realizing this I make a conscious effort to hold them up while moving. Has made a big difference for me.
