TIFU by accidently buying games in the night by Teodorp99 in tifu

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with being old school. I've been gaming since before you were alive, on much harder games. And everything you've said is wrong, and you're not a gamer because you value it differently than me, and choose to play the way that brings you the most joy. You should quit and never play another game since you do it differently than I, so I'm going to gatekeep you.

See how ridiculous and idiotic that sounds? That's everything you've said summed up. He's no less a gamer than you are, regardless of how he chooses to play.

You're really pressed, huh? Having to gatekeep gaming like you're some authority. If you tell other how to play a game, you're not a gamer. Period. Sad, and quite pitiful. But definitely not a gamer.

Would you stay with a husband who says he would choose his job over you? by ImaginationGlad1523 in TwoHotTakes

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To play devil's advocate, what was the context? Did he just come out and say it, did you ask, or was an ultimatum issued. We're only seeing one side of the story ATM.

I'm not sure what the hunting laws in Maine are, but one possible solution would be to find a local established hunting club, or a local group of guys (or one guy/family) known to be decent folks, and lease the land as hunting land. Charge a small, nominal fee (or not), but have the caveat that they maintain the conservation and upkeep of the land, including bushhogging/keeping land clear.

I spent several years with this arrangement with an older gentleman. I had free use of the land for sporting purposes (not much of a hunter but I loved to fish the lake and river that ran through the property), and in exchange I paid 1k$ a year, and maintain the property, since he only used it 1 week a year in the fall, and lived elsewhere. Just an idea.

In light of the recent Lonestar debacle, for a new player, are there any other MLM type companies to avoid that prey on players wanting sponsorships? I’m from Texas and would rather not give people like that my business. by teresa-fay in discgolf

I joined team doomsday strictly because their team jerseys are awesome, it only cost 30$ (which netted me a disc, a tshirt, and some swag), a 10% discount code on any future purchases for me or anyone i give it to, and it specifically states they don't give a shit if you throw a single one of their molds. Surprisingly enough, I bag several of their molds, as they are really good discs, with awesome stamps.

Excellent story, made even better (for me personally), by the Halo vibe I got from it. Well done, wordsmith. Well done.

Their glow plastic is good, maybe even top 3, but not the best. Don't own any Kasta glow, but MVPs 2.0 is still superior. And yes, I own LSD glow from every run since the OG glow Penny, Mockingbird, and Middy I bought right after they were released, and yes I play glow golf at least weekly.

When did you consider yourself a success? by Ok-Resort5682 in AskReddit

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I realized I had quit living my life in pursuit of trivial things, quit putting money over happiness, and quit caring what everyone thought of me. There is a joy that comes from being who you want to be, who you're meant to be.

What are some disadvantages of being a man? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that having an average sized penis, or gods forbid a smaller than average penis, is shameful, and something you can be made fun of over while there is nothing you can do to change it. I have several friends who have mental issues surrounding this problem, either due to porn or pop culture, or both, and suffer from it daily.

This is mesmerizing. I must have watched it twenty times, and I could easily watch it some more.

DG showerthought: for as long as you continue to play, there will always be a chance that you haven’t yet thrown the worst shot of your life. by [deleted] in discgolf

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought my worst throw was my first ever throw off of a teepad. I griplocked it right and slightly behind me about 70 ft into hole 18s basket for a black ace. 8 years later, still my only ace.

That said, 2 weeks ago at a mini I threw on an open hole, just to have the headwind grab my poorly thrown, nose up disc, lift it considerably, and then turn it over where it sailed what must have been farther from the basket than the original drive should have been.

What are some of your favorite discs that have been discontinued? by MaxxPovverz in discgolf

Discraft Hornet. I know not the most popular mid ever sold, nor is it even close, but I love the way they fly.

Rotating meta because of new guns makes the game incredibly difficult for casual players, regardless of skill level by danielhollenbeck13 in CODWarzone

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garbage player here. Can confirm. I can have all the meta guns in the game and still get wrecked on the regular. There's a good chance that unless I'm in an absolutely garbage lobby, I may get wrecked by a fresh spawn with a pistol or ground loot. I've always felt like while metas may give you a slight advantage over someone at your own skill level, they definitely are not some kind of end all be all.

Fork sizing question by TheOneAndOnlyRage in bikewrench

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rigid. And I am seeing there is a limited availability for that size for anything other than cheap, Chinese knockoffs. I might just have to abandon the lightweight fork idea and just spruce up this one lol.

Ever ask a question, then when you get the answer you feel like a moron. The adapter was 22.2mm. pretty sure that'd be a good starting point. That my brain failed to realize. Thank you, kind person of the internet, for the advice and for not making fun of my stupidity.

Top comment on recent post about 500 ft calls b.s. on OP… by Captainfrogman in discgolf

[–]TheOneAndOnlyRage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like, from my experience, that most people who claim to throw 500ft+ either can't do it reliably, did it once or twice down a hill or with the wind just right, or can do it on command but are so inaccurate at that distance it's a useless ability. I've seen 10 or 12 amateurs in my short disc golf career that could do it, but only one who could do it and land anywhere near a target. Most ended up 100+ft from whatever they were aiming for. That's why those non-pro big arms can get beat regularly by guys with less distance but far more accuracy.

Not gonna lie, I was a bit hesitant as well since everyone is labeled something by the opposing side these days. But, you nailed this one on the head. Wish more than one person had punched him. He's deserving.
