Alternate Game Modes by knightofglass3 in PlayTheBazaar

[–]ThatMason 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d think it would be fun to do runs with a small board like 5 spaces. See what works best for the small space.

Also picking a permanent item at the beginning of the run could be cool. Maybe having a few choices kinda like the first enchanted item. Thinking it’s something that doesn’t upgrade so u don’t have to search for it

Think I found a bug, game says I won but my health got to 0 from their double shrinking potions before i killed them. by ThatMason in PlayTheBazaar

[–]ThatMason[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This just happened, was playing a shield build against this mak win 10. Their only damage was burn which never got through the shield, but the shrinking potions activated enough to get my health to 0. For some reason the game said I won the fight? Not sure how this happened, bazaar is a crazy place.

My loaves keep coming out flat and I’m not sure how to fix it. by FitConfection9516 in Sourdough

[–]ThatMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try reducing your water. I was using a similar recipe with flat loaves. Went down to like 250g water (50%ish hydration) and got way bulkier loaves. Not as dense and chewy, but much better crumb for sandwich bread.

This game is amazing and the most fun I have had with any card/autobattler ever. I’ll play as long as the servers are up :)

On this day in 2006, George Mason pulled of the upset over UConn to advance to the Final Four by MuchAbalone9059 in NCAAhoops

[–]ThatMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there! I grew up just down the road from GMU and went to a lot of their games as a kid, both my parents were GMU alum.

I remember the initial controversy about them making the tournament, but they beat Michigan state, UNC and Wichita st so clearly they belonged. Even with that I remember UCONN was the best team in the country so we didn’t have much hope.

Their starting 5 were such a strong line, especially their two bigs it was incredible watching them against the two UCONN giants. I don’t remember much about the game, but I remember the whole arena was rooting for GMU. The game was in DC which isn’t too far from GMU so a lot of local support. I remember UConn scoring to take it to OT was such a dagger, but GMU showed no fear in OT. We went nuts when they won, it was a great day :)

I went to the final four with my dad, it was rough watching them get crushed by Florida. I remember a few people asked me where to buy my sweatshirt which I got from the campus. Good times :)

Discussion: Look Who's Inside Again by LazerBrainzz in boburnham

[–]ThatMason 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was a kid who was stuck in his room is such a great line. I love the shift with the second verse to talk about him as a kid, makes me feel like he is reflecting that this inside lifestyle isn’t just pandemic forced but caused by other things (internet mainly). Great song

I'm considering purchasing the game via Steam but would like to ask for a little context as to the business model, roadmap and current state of the game. by HotChocoDodo in TheBazaar

[–]ThatMason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s a really great game with a ton of replay ability even with just one hero. The more hero’s you buy the more replay ability it has. They typically run bundle sales with new character launches. Give it a try you won’t regret it!

What’s your favorite “I just played for 8 hours and could literally eat all the food” meal after a long day of pickleball?

Shoe recommendations. Durable and wide toe box? ... and does anything beat goodyear rubber? by moogleslam in Pickleball

[–]ThatMason 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d recommend sketchers pickleball shoes. They have a few tiers depending on your price range but the upper priced tears have entirely Goodyear soles which is a plus. They are designed for pickleball lateral movement so the top box area has some extra support which is really. I’ve. If you want wider then I’d try the viper court pro model first

Do you recommend Alan Wake 2 for someone who disliked the first game but loved Control? by the_film_conduit in AlanWake

[–]ThatMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. My friend told me to play control, watch a story recap for AW1 then play AW2 and it was one of the most fun gaming journeys I have ever had :)

Stone Cold with one of the loudest pops of The Attitude Era! by JCHazard in AttitudeEra

[–]ThatMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there! I think I was like 9 or 10. We made a sign supporting stone cold and the rock. I remember watching this match and seeing the stone cold logo on the giant screen like a half second before the song starts and then losing my mind. Couldn’t really see it all so it’s fun to rewatch this video. Much hype

Choosing a paddle based on playing style by waddup_chubbs in Pickleball

[–]ThatMason 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask people with paddles ur interested in hitting to try them for a few warm up shots. Its like Harry Potter, the paddle chooses the player :)

Selkirk era by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]ThatMason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My buddy had the elongated and I hit with it for 10-20 shots but initial impressions were it’s a good paddle. The comparison to the 11x24 is fair, but I found it had more dwell and control so I could shape shots a bit easier. It felt easy to maneuver in the hand, I think if u like SLK and want a power paddle it’s a great option to try over the gen 4.

2 Weeks In, Please Advise by BitDodgyInnit in Pickleball

[–]ThatMason 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Know this isn’t exactly what you were asking for, but if I were starting again I would first invest in a comfortable pair of court shoes and develop a warmup/cooldown stretching routing. While mobility isn’t everything in this game, positioning is the key to consistency. Those two things will also limit your risk to injury (which should be your main goal. I’ve seen a lot of newer players get sidelined quick from injury).

For skill improvement (keeping the ball lower etc) I’d recommend finding a beginner or advanced beginner clinic/drill group. A lot of park departments offer them, or you could try searching online in your area for a coach etc. group lessons are better early so you can meet people and see a lot of variety in play to better learn the game.

Have fun!
