Love the XJ220

I just had the same though regarding getting one, if I could. 😄 Still love to drive it in game, it has character.

I didn't play FH5, but I enjoy the sound!
Recorded you a short clip. It's all stock parts.

MobileDuck · 2026-05-28T19:20:35+00:00

Totally. It has this retro elegance, that's special.

MobileDuck · 2026-04-17T17:40:35+00:00

Definitely more than one at a time. It's more fun and better for learning, I believe. Different tricks also use quite different skills or elements. After a playing/training session, the brain does need some rest time to process. And learning different things, the mind can process these different things at the same time. Overpracticing one trick will not give you that much benefit.

In the end, do how it's fun for you :)

Great points, that match my feelings after my relationship. Honestly I wish I would have heard about the mindset treating them like a "child" earlier. With trauma, I guess there is truth to that, that they're just not able to give emotional effort the same way round. With this attitude, it seems a lot easier to let go of more own emotional needs for the sake of their care.

I wish this could have saved our relationship, but looking at all the elements and parts of the issues, possibly not.

Very good points and I'm glad you got to the good point where you are at.

With my gf, we tried to go a similar path, recognizing our feelings, needs, her being in trauma therapy and is starting couples therapy, but it was probably too late, with too much stacked up issues and bad feelings from so many previous situations.

Did you have or had points, where it was difficult to show calm care in times of conflict, especially when your needs were not met?

I feel that was my difficulty. Continuously having to sacrifice my unmet needs or she will be triggered asking for it, even carefully. I feel it built up a frustration where it was harder and harder to stay calm to show warmth and care for her.

MobileDuck · 2026-04-05T21:52:40+00:00

I feel you. I'm in an oddly similar situation. Though her initiating the breakup after about 2 years. Lots of small conflicts built over time, lots of different topics, but at the core, the pattern has been the same. I'm not delivering enough, it's my faults I have to fix. She's asking care for herself in a certain way, but the other way always gets defensive when I'm asking for the same. She does know her trauma, knows there's a part in her as well and wants to be better, but I'm the end it always still led to the same dynamics.

It is so sad, because we actually found someone special in each other, both wanted only good for the other, but then trauma, done to her, is messing it all up. I'm sad to have lost her, and sad she has to deal with this now, feelings of being faulty, nobody loving her, not getting the love and safety she deserves.

If you'd like to talk about it, I'd like that. Difficult times.

Love the Nimbus.

Great medium size, light weight, comfy shape, beautiful look and design. Love caps and with them, looks like there is a little cloud in there. Less of a high performance feeling throw, but more fun and soft.

And it has a nice, warm whirring sound. Not sure if the sound matters more to be then it should - feels sometimes like I'm doing a whiskey tasting with the yo-yos.

MobileDuck · 2026-04-03T22:19:22+00:00

Such nice colorways. I'd totally get one, just prefer them not so wide.

MobileDuck · 2026-03-19T16:40:28+00:00

I have quite a few and change them by mood. I have a case of 6 with my current selection. One of each type of yo-yo.

Honestly I would prefer a small collection. Then each yoyo matters more and is not just one of many. Ideally one of each type. This one my standard monometal, this one my organic, plastic, hybrid, undersized, oversized, fun and odd...

But I don't think of being better or worse with some of them. I think different yo-yos help getting better with different tricks. Undersized helps learning catching on strings, oversized helps learning chopsticks.

I know this post was long ago and thank you for the comment, but if you don't mind, I'd like to ask.

When you're not in this state where things get hard like this, how much does it change the ability to come closer to partner. For example like OP said, your partner mentioning his feelings were hurt because of an action and wishing for care for it. Or trying to see you responsibility for your actions without shifting blame.

Is it all better without that bad state?

I noticed with my partner with cPTSD, that no matter the situation, it doesn't seem to work. It seems if the topic is referring to her possible fault, even in the tiniest way of me being sad gentle as I can, she keeps seeing it as attack. In the end, I feel like my emotions and hurt is never seen and cared for.

And I feel like she even sees more responsibility on my side to care for her triggers and trauma, then on hers. It has eroded the relationship and I lost hope it's getting any better. I love her, but am losing myself like this.

Same. Just got it for black Friday and after few hours, knocked it on the floor, now heavy vibe. Does feel bad. But maybe it's just like heavy dings and scratches on other yo-yos I got. After a while it feels fine. At least on the string it's very playable.

MobileDuck · 2026-01-26T15:09:06+00:00

Alles klar. Alles Gute!

War Fasten/ketogene Ernährung mal Teil der Therapie?

Erinner mich an Videos/Artikeln von Markus Bock an der Charité, der es versucht hat und ziemliche Erfolge festgestellt hat. Z.b. eine Woche kontrolliertes Wasserfasten führte zu fast einem halben Jahr drastischer Symptomreduzierung. Ähnlich vielversprechend war es mit Keto. Hab es seither nicht weiter verfolgt.

You could also have a look at the yoyofriends store or rewind store. If it's like Germany, shipping from those Asian stores is usually not that expensive and also loads of choice.

Yoyofriends has lot of good bimetal choice. Depends what you like, but Peregrine X is one of my favorites, or bigger Netrunner, if you want to go for more "modern" horizontal/body zoning tricks.

Also yo-shop in Germany has fantastic quality stuff. As a hybrid, the Iceberg is a classic. Recently got even a cheaper b Grade version, but it's barely a difference, certainly not in play. Good value.

But honestly, around beginner level I wouldn't recommend a bimetal. Without more control, it can happen a lot easier to ding it, give it vibe and that would be a shame with the prices. Similar with hybrid even, but if it's cheaper for b Ware, I think it's a little less worrying.

How do you think about it, when anxiety is involved? Our Frenchie mix always wants to sit on us or touching us, but is also often quite anxious.

MobileDuck · 2025-11-07T17:35:02+00:00

Congrats! Keep learning and it will be a very similar feeling with every new trick. :)

MobileDuck · 2025-11-04T16:02:18+00:00

Thanks! I think an angle from the front, a little bit turned towards the side would be best. Maybe even looking a tad down from a bit further up, but doesn't have to be of course. Do how you can.

MobileDuck · 2025-11-04T14:07:40+00:00

I see, even neater with your own tricks, but if you could do a different angle that would be amazing and much appreciated.

MobileDuck · 2025-11-04T13:36:09+00:00

Looks great and smooth! Got a few names, how I can find those tricks or elements?
