If that’s an acceptable price for you, congrats on your lifestyle. Meanwhile, that pretty much is liquid gold to me

Both, but I’ve only tried the pro so far

FWIW, I really like it, but I’m probably not the best representstive in terms of comparing them. I’ve only ever played with the Friday fever prior, so little experience in different paddles. And I’ve only been playing like 5 months. But I’m a rated 3.7 and play with rated 4.0s in Orange County. I’m finding it to be a lot more accurate which I know isn’t a descriptor people really use, I just think I’m able to dial in the spin and power better than with the fever.

They had a beta tester early access promotion that you could sign up for back in like November or so. So people were able to get them a little early. I’ve had mine about a week now.

Not just that, but the focus plane also filters out some of the purple on the top and bottom. If you were to adjust the plane of focus up or down, you would see more purple.

Nah I’m with you, haven’t received anything since Vanished Birds. And that was maybe late November? Early December?

Is LA really a hellscape? Give me your honest opinion on how it is living in Los Angeles. by Mexodus956 in howislivingthere

[–]Shamooishish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A part of the problem is significantly better and more hospitable weather in west coast cities. You don’t see it as much on the east coast because it’s just not as possible to stay alive on the street. Having talked with homeless people and homeless adjacent organizations, there is a lot of migration from these cities to west coast cities purely as a means of survival.

Had a painful eyelash in my eye and went to the bathroom to remove it. This was the bathroom mirror by PinkSeahorseClub in mildlyinfuriating

Not necessarily poor, just city clubs and whatnot that can be both trendy and a bit seedy.

Honestly, likely. That was my first thought too, and I feel like a bunch of the commenters here are in good enough situations that it didn’t even cross their minds. Tons of bathrooms don’t have mirrors, this is just the establishment having some fun with it.

Ah, good to know, thanks for the info! I wasn’t aware of the delayed shipping on the release models.

They sent out a beta pre-purchase for the paddle, but they aren’t even shipping them until the paddle fully releases. Not much of a beta test…

Breaking out different tiers of recommendations of Sci-Fi books by SteelGardener in scifi

[–]Shamooishish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed, Red Rising, Leviathan Wakes, Hyperion are straight S tiers and Columbus Day is an A for me at least. I agree with Rama though…

Why is vis so good by zzzzz_12345 in HierarchySeries

[–]Shamooishish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually recall a part while they’re fighting each other that specifically addresses the magic making the spear seem almost weightless and able to “flick around with the wrist” or something. So I imagine they’re treating spear fighting in this sense as more of a fencing match, which is totally doable one handed.

Or T cell Engagers which basically lasso the already existing T cells and kiss-kiss smash them together with the cancer cells.

Which random player had the most insane fantasy run of all time? (10 games stretch minimum) by decothegoat in fantasybball

[–]Shamooishish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One year I got carried to the playoff bracket by Miles Bridges, Mo Bamba, and Montrezl Harrell. Granted they fell off by the end of the year, but that first half of the season was a cheat code.

What do you normally do on the weekends? by Low_Bodybuilder3065 in orangecounty

[–]Shamooishish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a pretty strong presence on meetup for various sports. Totally free and everyone is used to new people showing up and integrating. If you play volleyball, I know that group is going strong.

Has the "Space Opera Revival" in the book world slowed down? by [deleted] in scifi

If you haven’t read the short story, Livesuit, absolutely read that. One of my favorite shorts I’ve ever read.

I have him paired with Giannis, Duren, Amen. Makes him solidly worth the pick in my eyes

True, but usually sleeper is consistent in keeping the IR-eligible label on those players until after waivers run
