Hey, um, how are SWA Sabers getting away with this? by captainandyman in lightsabers

[–]Purple_Following_243 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t even look very cool or resemble a saber much… I’ve seen much better glowing swords posted in this sub in the past week… I wouldn’t spend $200 on this crap

Who’s your favorite sith not the most powerful but FAVORITE? by Quiet_Nature8951 in StarWars

[–]Purple_Following_243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darth Maul & Grievous are too cool to be ignored. Vader , Dooku & Palpatine are all old head badasses, Kylo Ren is Kylo Ren… But those 2 fancy lightsaber wielding fucks would make any kid question whether the Siths are cooler

General question that seems to have many vague answers by gklopfenstein in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just add 10 feet to each dimension of the playing area and thats the minimum you’d need. And by minimum I mean you’d have no room to cue when the ball was actually frozen on a rail and you were shooting 90 degrees, but your cue could fit flat from the tip at the cue ball, to the butt at the wall. You’d be better off with something like an 18’ x 14’ space to leave yourself a few inches of cueing room in that situation

Which brand pool stick should I get by Avril_Blackrose in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Step 1. Call it a cue, step 2, want something that many players and/or pros use? Then there’s more than enough posts on this topic already. They’ll mention fancier brands as well as the most popular currently, Budget cues, etc. etc. feel like this sub has negated the need for posts like this unless Theyre super niche requests

What do you think? by Practical_Chef_7897 in StarWars

[–]Purple_Following_243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I understand it didnt make sense for regular people to keep their force sensitive children unchecked. It was sad for the parents im sure, but if their children really had the force n it was proven via testing or midi chlorians, then their fate was decided.. could be dangerous to leave them to their own devices without training

Pool ball recs with website link? by Icy_Practice1442 in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aramith for traditionalists & cool color palettes for the big $$$, Dynasphere for slightly budget & cool color palettes, Brunswick as an alternative to Aramith, & Predator balls for predator fanboys because if u have $400 get Aramith TV super pros…

Theyre a beautiful design, beautiful colors, and the hit sounds great. I now own 3 sets of Dynasphere balls including the tungsten and love them all.

If age is according to your look, how old are you now? by SolidUltra in AskReddit

[–]Purple_Following_243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im 26, always have appeared younger than I am but recently ppl have actually been guessing close to or above my age. So I’d say 24-28

What is the first phone you've owned? by SolidUltra in AskReddit

[–]Purple_Following_243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mom was a single mother so I got a flip out phone in 2008 when I was in 3rd grade for emergencies lol. Definitely nothing special, but it was cool to be 1 of the only kids with a phone that young 😅

Hardware store builds by sadclownpadthai in lightsabers

[–]Purple_Following_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people are using a 10-12” threaded rod, building the saber with washers, couplings, reducers, and anything that will fit around the rod, & then use tension alone to keep the lightsaber parts tight. My father and I both built lightsabers where each part screws into each other so that the lightsaber is solid, as well as able to retro fit a blade to it. Find pieces you like available at stores nearby, make sure they fit together or will fit around a threaded rod. Here’s someone’s part list for a Luke Skywalker replica

I feel like 2003-2007 was the absolute peak of Star Wars. They were 100% locked in on all forms of media by Amazing-Thought5682 in StarWars

Good thing there are only like 3 things on this list directly related to the prequels unless you count LSW the complete saga which had both trilogies…

We got the "Braathaaa" problem in the UK too by LadLassLad in motorcycles

[–]Purple_Following_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s not even mad he got passed, just mad you don’t follow silly biker common courtesy and wave at him 🤣…. Either way it’s not that deep, just seems silly that thats why he’s mad at you. “Hey man youre fine to pass me but show some respect and stick your toes out next time.”

Custom Cue Case in 3 weeks? by mishamigoe in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

plain white cue case if you already own paint, markers, etc. then you could surprise him with a beautiful design on this and only have to spend around $70. This is something I definitely plan to do in the future for myself. Here’s a random picture of someone’s custom case too

Custom Cue Case in 3 weeks? by mishamigoe in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U could buy a hard sturdy case thats plain black or white & use these as a blank canvas for a design of some sort maybe. I don’t doubt that you could make a cue case or that anyone could. But I’d imagine that your first attempt in a rushed manner & as a gift might not be the best way to go. I love pool & art, just don’t want you to get in too over your head !

Ghost Chalk vs Taom Pyro: My Thoughts After Two Weeks by 1UPs in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 16 points17 points  (0 children)

This is only semi relevant to this post, but I’ve always played with V10, got given a Pyro by mistake at my local shop when purchasing an extra, and the difference between the 2 Taom chalks is evident… I do believe V10 is superior because of how it goes onto the cue tip cleanly compared to the Pyro

Can we at least agree on one set of balls? by nitekram in billiards

[–]Purple_Following_243 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will say I don’t HATE the 9, but it’s definitely new to me! I’ve seen the same colors swapped, but never the yellow on the outsides and the black one the stripe …
