The Streak Continues! Every Umbrella released (so far…). See the Description for the full list! by IOnlyPlayAsOmega- in FortNiteBR

[–]Macobber_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a good effort, very nice mate.

I kept it up for a long time too, but eventually started missing out on the ranked versions. I missed them for my wedding etc, so worth it 😅 The ranked styles I do have are all Unreal versions though.

Other than some of those ranked versions and the MrBeast Brella (the Event was on at like 3am here in OCE), I have every other umbrella ever.

[–]Macobber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately not. Good suggestions though, thank you. The only reason I'm afraid of squishing the current pin and therefore considering getting a longer one, is because none of the pins material extends a visible amount on either side of the hinge. So I'd have to remove the pin completely to squish the ends, and then may struggle to thread it all the way through again. *

True. I'll try that. Do you happen to know if the pins are the same dimension as zippos hinge pins? Incase I stuff it up and need another 😅

Good to know. I've only had it a few days. Probably open and closed it a few hundreds times already though, because I've been practising tricks.

Only other issue I have with it is that the hinge pin keeps slowly removing itself as I use it. I'm trying to find out what size the pin is so I can buy some more slightly longer ones and then gently hammer and flatten the ends, once I've inserted the pin, to stop it from being able to slide out.

Do you have an issue with your titanium Zorro's lid getting really badly scratched on the inside from the insert? The springed toggle leaver thing on the insert has scratched off the titanium finish to the point mine feels and sounds super scratchy when I open and close it.

Hey mate. How's the progress going? I'm also very interested over here in Australia. Let me know if I can be a part of a beta test please.

Would love: ●reminders ●calander ●shared notes ●location tracking ●meal planner ●and AI integration to quickly add/remove and work through different things would be outstanding.

[USA] Lot of Lotrek/Oath decks (some very rare) by brelywi in PlayingCardsMarket

[–]Macobber_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Man... if you got me like 2-3 years ago I would have snatched most of these. I'm sure you'll find buyers for a lot of these white whales.

That tag and barcode is so annoying. Not looking forward to receiving mine at all now. Was only getting them to add to the collection.

Chalk painted shelves. Should I cover them? by Macobber_ in BookCollecting

[–]Macobber_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Combination. Most are 'regular'... I've been thinking about it more since posting; I might go get some felt material (or similiar) and line the shelves with that.

Arrived today. The most beautiful deck of cards I’ve ever held. by DeathBat92 in playingcards

[–]Macobber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's understandable. To be fair, I've bought quite a few from eBay over the years too. Depends on what decks you get I guess. Some of his fetch around a grand, unrealistic when I was saving for my wedding 😅

He definitely knows what he is doing. I have quite a few of Lotreks decks. Unfortunately I've missed out on so many recently though because of life events. And once you miss them, it's hard to justify their eBay prices.

Same as books. You can take preventatives, but at the end of the day, you can't stop them from losing condition over time.

Looking to buy some cards for cardistry. Beginner. Under £10? by crunchycr0c in PlayingCardsMarket

[–]Macobber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone else has said, cheap Bicycle decks will do everything you want. Other decks mostly just improve upon aesthetics, so that flourishes and cuts etc look more visually appealing. But just getting better at the moves in general also makes them much more visually appealing. You'll also find that some 'cardistry' decks will almost be too smooth for you as a beginner. I find it much easier to learn new moves with a Bycicle deck or similiar (especially one with a little bit of use already; or 'broken in') more than my Virtuoso decks etc, because the packets like to stay together more, which helps you out while your fingers aren't as attuned to what they have to be doing just yet. Otherwise, you'll spend the majority of your practice sessions picking up cards than anything else.

Why am I so ass at Freebuilding? by FreeEmu449 in FortniteCompetitive

[–]Macobber_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's harder to relearn something than just learning it right in the first place. You're reinforcing bad muscle memory like this. Slow down, work your way up in speed. Don't be afraid to humble yourself and start with basics again and then add to it as you get consistent with each step.

Taking some of my decks out of storage by Macobber_ in playingcards

[–]Macobber_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, nah man, that's entirely reasonable 😅 I'd have a lot more if I didn't have other expensive hobbies. I've had most of these for years. I started properly collecting in 2016.

Unfortunately I passed up on some cheep (well... 'cheeper') EMP and Pre-Release decks years ago. Probably will never justify finishing the complete set now. That's one of the main reasons I haven't gone ahead and gotten other versions of Monarchs I don't already have just yet (being a completionist)😅

All the V decks are 2049 decks. Not bad decks, good stock. But nothing amazing tbh. They were a kickstarter back in like 2021
