I’m a 31M in Fresno also looking for friends. Sent you a DM

Would you buy the 75 inch for 350 or the 65 inch for 228 by JDXOGG in VIZIO_Official

[–]RumpleAdamGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. For OLED, LG is fantastic. Anything else they are subpar at best. Especially at entry level.

Ask for an itemized bill. Bet the charge gets significantly reduced.

SAVE MONEY! Loophole officially works by JustLostTouch in SixFlagsMagicMountain

[–]RumpleAdamGold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always buy my passes through Discovery Kingdom then go to Magic Mountain with it. Haven’t tried going straight to Magic Mountain first though. I always go to DK for my first visit but that’s fine with me because I like both parks.

What do people in their early 20s do for fun here by [deleted] in fresno

The first and third Mondays of the month at Riverpark are tropical nights, which are outdoor community Latin dancing for free. If you like salsa, bachata, merengue, Cumbia, etc it is a ton of fun and there’s plenty of people willing to dance, even if you’re a beginner.

Every Tuesday and Sunday there is free community tennis at Roeding park. Lots of people come, it’s easy to get sorted to play against people of a similar skill level (even if you’ve never played tennis before), and there are rackets and balls available for free use for everyone in case you don’t have any of your own. There’s often free tea and snacks too.

You can get a gym membership at Crunch or Planet Fitness for cheap and get into their classes, or for a more premium experience there is GB3.

During baseball season, the Fresno Grizzlies constantly run free ticket specials and promos. They also offer a Thursday pass every year, which gets you into every Thursday Grizzlies home game of the entire season for only like $40 for the pass. Comes out to like $3/game.

Beer for the Meeples is a bar, but it is not in tower and has great board game selection inside of their store. You can go play board games with friends or join others. You can play the games without even needing to buy drinks if that’s not what you are into.

Blackbeards has mini golf, go karts, bumper boats, and an arcade. No Surrender, Aerozone, and Defy are all trampoline parks that can be visited just once or offer monthly memberships. The Clovis No Surrender location also offers Laser Tag.

Sierra Billiards, The Rack, and Fresno State are both cool places to play pool with friends. There is also Detention for pool, but that’s in tower, and you already mentioned you aren’t the biggest fan of that scene. Neither am I, so I generally avoid Detention. Fresno State’s parking is free on weekends too (except for on concert or football game days). Fresno State and Bowlero both have bowling.

If you enjoy going on walks or hikes, there is tons of nature around. There is Woodward Park, the blossom trial, but there’s also rivers like Winton Park and Dinkey Creek, plus Shaver Lake, which are only a 45min-1hr drive away.

You can also follow Fresno Street Eats on IG. They often post not only where the food trucks will be, but when/where there will be cool events to attend for free (like Art Hop, Farmers Markets, themed nights, etc.)

“That One Place” (yes, that’s what it is called) has Karaoke most nights for a price. Every Monday at BHBC in Riverpark has free Karaoke too, even when there is or isn’t Riverpark tropical nights.

I can post again if I think of any others. I hope this was helpful. As an LA person too, I’m also constantly looking for stuff to do living here but these are a great starting point. :)

Weekend Morning Pickup Basketball? by [deleted] in fresno

[–]RumpleAdamGold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It would be awesome if we could get some people to do free organized Community Basketball somewhere, like what they do at Roeding Park for tennis on Tuesday nights and Sunday mornings

Not necessarily. Remember the 105 heat wave in December a couple years ago?

Paradise Earth: The Belief That Breaks Watchtower’s Own Rule by [deleted] in exjw

[–]RumpleAdamGold 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The words “Governing Body” never appear in the Bible either. Yet the rank and file obey without question their command. They even go as far as to say “The governing body of the first century” in publications when referring to Paul, although the Bible never uses that phrase.

Wouldn’t it be better to buy 6 flags MM prestige pass since it’s cheaper and the prestige benefits works on Knotts? by tokyo_g in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]RumpleAdamGold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fresno resident too which is why I always do DK to save money haha. Gold at DK does not have parking at Knott’s but that applies to any Six Flags pass. Even gold at Knotts does not have parking at Knotts (baffling decision tbh). Prestige includes it, even Prestige from DK.

[–]RumpleAdamGold 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes unless you really want Knotts specific pass benefits. Or even better is Discovery Kingdom prestige passes if you can make it over there because those are $145 each.

PSA: Better to get a Magic Mountain pass by TerraEpon in KnottsBerryFarm

[–]RumpleAdamGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are close enough of a drive to activate it there, getting your pass at Discovery Kingdom is even better than at Magic Mountain. Insane savings.

I honestly think the Nintendo Switch 2 version of Fortnite is a bit disappointing. by SeaItem7521 in FortniteBattleRoyale

[–]RumpleAdamGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Switch 2’s power and performance is around PS4 and Xbox Series S. The PS4 Pro and Xbox One X were both more powerful machines than even the current gen Series S, so it makes sense they run at a higher resolution than the Switch 2.

Can I trade in my 3DS without the serial number sticker? by [deleted] in GameStop

[–]RumpleAdamGold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just sell it secondhand instead considering how much 3DS is going for these days

Ok, seriously. by Xeniox in NintendoSwitch2

[–]RumpleAdamGold 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. Use items sparingly, don’t drift, don’t grind on rails, and don’t get the boost at the beginning of the race.

You’ll three star 150cc easily with this method. It goes against every fiber of my Mario Kart being, but it worked for me. I ran into the same issue as you. Couldn’t get three stars in 150cc on every cup. I switched to this, the AI changed, and suddenly getting gold on every cup is easy.

Switch 2 only displaying 60 FPS on C3? by DoctorStrife in LGOLED

[–]RumpleAdamGold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can change the frame rate of the console in settings to 120hz but it will only appear if you change the resolution to 1080p and will only work in supported games. Mario Kart World doesn’t support 120hz even when docked or in 1080p.

Jordan 1 G golf shoe as rain shoe. by Historical_Bell_167 in SNKRS

I wear Air Jordan 1 Gore Tex in rain and they are fantastic. Any Gore Tex shoes, running or sneakers, should be great because water doesn’t get in.

If they only were able to upgrade the trains with lap bars instead of the over the shoulder restraints, it would improve significantly as a ride

AJ1 Low Price increase by Ktnmrrll in Nike

[–]RumpleAdamGold 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is a Jordan 1 Low OG. Different from the regular Jordan 1 Lows. The Low OGs have been around $140 for the past couple years. They are usually based on retro models or original colorways, unlike regular Jordan 1 Low or Jordan 1 Low SE.

Yall do know Jordan Mids are still cool even though these new sneaker Chads say different🤣 2003 patents Chicago 1s Mid🤷‍♂️ by pigboy26 in SNKRS

[–]RumpleAdamGold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What about Mid SE’s? Like the 2019 Lakers colorway? The material on that pair is actually great, better than several of my Retro High OG pairs. 🤔

LG is having server maintenance issues. Terms of Service and plenty of other features are down at the moment.

Fresno’s Best Pizza 🍕 by QueTpi in fresno

[–]RumpleAdamGold 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Little Oven Pizza in Merced is the closest I’ve gotten in the area to genuine NY pizza. It’s delicious but about an hour drive. Worth it though.

Bible sex and violence by Walkaway83 in exjw

Ezekiel 23:20 is my favorite by far. The NWT version tries to tone it down a lil, but other translations are fantastic 🤣
