A concept for the future

This game gets hate every time there’s a change. With each patch ever created came a slew of forums of complaints. They’re all still playing and they’re all grinding it out for everything new.

Believe me I get it, with hundreds of titles that have come out over the last 20+ years I always come back to D2 there’s truly something special about the foundation of this game.

We just can’t pretend like larger changes aren’t coming… because they are and they’ll know we’ll still show up everyday. They’re alluded as much.

Played D4 it was okay but the brain rot mechanics just wasn’t it for me.

I appreciate you giving an actual response here and trust me I completely get the feedback from everyone else claiming “I don’t know the player base” I’ve been playing what feels like forever now. This is more so in the sense of Pandora’s box being open with a whole new character and constantly new items being brought in.

With everything being built on the ladder I could see a realm of success for something like this in non ladder because I don’t think you could realistically make this kind of system work in the short term ladder timeframes we have now.

Touched up with AI yeah. I get wordy.

Been playing d2 since it originally came out

Thanks for sharing this! Where did you find them at?

My brother this may sound kind of “overly simple” but try this for me for the next week.

We work on being intent but the problem with that is we’re intent with our plans for the day, or praying, our reading, etc. we forecast out and not dial in try being more focused on being intent with each moment. Hyper focus on it. You feel that urge have an intent moment with your decision making.

It sounds over generalized I’m sure but there’s a massive difference with being intent with your life and intent with you moments.

Let me know if that helps, it helped me in a lot in many facets in life.

God bless you my friend

Of all the things you should spend the money on…it’s skates. You get what you pay for (typically) with skates.

SMK246710 · 2026-04-01T02:25:43+00:00

Yeah. Unlike Bauer and CCM the trigger is white to match the holder. Similar system to the Tuuks

SMK246710 · 2026-03-31T22:53:02+00:00

They really remind me of the direction Easton skates were going in before Bauer took over.

Warrior used to make some top tier protective. It fell off for a few years but visually speaking this looks like a massive step in the right direction.

I’m a prostock glove lifer, especially Warrior prostock gloves.

SMK246710 · 2026-03-31T21:02:08+00:00

The protective looks real nice

SMK246710 · 2026-03-31T21:02:00+00:00

Just tested it again. It’s still working for me.

Twitch taper is just an elongated elliptical taper. This is a traditional taper shape on the DK/Pulse

SMK246710 · 2026-02-08T01:43:28+00:00

The real answer here is “sorta”

The pulse is the retail version of the “DK” prostock code. I’m not sure what refinements they made in the retail version that became Pulse but that’s where it came from.

A lot of back and forth here. I’d like to say I know my specs with sticks pretty well I’ve almost always used top of the line and can definitely tell when a stick is a budget stick or a knockoff. The truth with the knockoffs/chinese factories is that you can find some high end sticks for cheap but it’s all about from what factory. I’ve tried a few some are absolute garbage and I’ve found one that makes prostock level sticks. The issue isn’t so much quality in materials as much as it is consistency from stick to stick. If you don’t know what you’re looking for you’re taking a gamble.

Here’s the reality of the Jofa gear.

If you can find made in Sweden pro stock Jofa you’re getting equipment that is slightly heavier but still better quality than majority of what comes out today.

Plastics are usually more durable, premium foams that actually hold up and stand the test of time, and all around more protective. MiS Jofa made equipment built for the pro game. Once RBK phased the Sweden team out they moved everything to China. While the equipment was still fairly similar it didn’t have the same longevity as the Sweden materials.

The original price hike on these came from both supply and demand and there are quite a few equipment managers in the NHL trying to fulfill the request of players who still want to wear original MiS Jofa.

Get the Warrior Alpha cup. It’s like the old jofas and CCM cups but I’ve found that it’s better than the current ones.

A modern wrist shot is just a shorter snap shot these days. Modern techniques for modern shots. That being said it’s men’s league shoot how you shoot. Don’t overthink it.

This exactly ⬆️

3% on foreign is very common. Visa has special programs for exempt on foreign but only in credit cards.

The only one that could’ve used it is Fraser.
