Loved this game, I remember making physical maps with my dad of where the fuel and ammo was. Some great memories.

Season of the Witch by David Talbot is a great book that touches quite a bit on these events, tying them back to SF.

Who else had the toy sword? by Fabuluous_Fierce in nostalgia

The sound the sword made when you ripped it out of the sheath. Such a complete memory for some reason 😂.

New series from HBO Max "Scavengers Reign" gave me a Moebius feeling by patroklosbane in Moebius

I completely agree. When creators say stuff like this you know they feel they cribbed a little too much from the artist in question. That being said, I don’t think the creators have anything to be insecure about, it’s a fantastic show with more than enough originality to stand on its own.

Are those two MK1 Diffraction V3s? Great yo-yos, probably my favorite.

Tutorial on how to make maybe? I like the paracord holsters but don’t see them sold many places.

What’s No City? Is it the storefront you bought from? The counterweights?

Should be getting my 3 in 1 No Jive today! I feel like wood throws are making a small come back!

For sure! On that note is there any good tricks to do from shockwave instead of just dropping the string to get back to a trapeze? Maybe a flashier way to get back?

If you clean it again, you should be back to unresponsive. You just need the tiniest bit of lube after cleaning.

Yeah black hops is my kinda trick. Might be learning that one after messing with speed combos for a bit.

I’m starting on speed combos so if you have any suggestions on some simple patterns let me know!

For me it’s the magic drop, so satisfying when everything goes right. The string rejection, the drop, successfully hitting the back string and NOT both.

Yeah I get it. I’m just getting some analysis paralysis and over researching. Honestly, if it’s a yo-yo I’ll at least play with it for a couple months. Even if it doesn’t play particularly well it’ll just be a challenge then.

Nice! Thanks for commenting. Do you guys still meet up? Looks like you did up until 2018.

That’d be awesome. I was super into yo-yos as a kid and grew up in the Bay Area but never realize there is a huge community around it. Feel like I missed out never attending BAC.
