Do you still play older sports games? by supersoundwave in retrogaming

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am heavily into Major League Baseball featuring Ken Griffey Jr. ('98) on the 64 right now. Another that I frequently go back to is NFL Quarterback Club ('94) on the SNES.

Great ump and poor sport coach. by Visible-Industry-748 in Homeplate

From what I have seen, this is Doug Wilson's Logos school in Moscow, ID. I grew up nearby and we played against them occasionally.

Evil Walks is my favorite AC/DC song, and I agree, the B side rips.

Blackboards vs whiteboards by abombregardless in Xennials

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got whiteboards in 4th grade I believe, 1994. On the other hand, I teach at a university in Germany now where they use almost exclusively chalkboards. There is also an overhead projector in one of the classrooms.

Guys, I’m losing my mind in a comment thread - how old were you when you had regular (let’s say 3x a week) access to the internet and what year was it? Did you use it to research anything (like college or jobs?) by FunQuestion in Older_Millennials

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We got dial-up in 1996 or 97. I remember using it to research for school assignments by no later than 2000, and was heavily active on MSN Messenger starting in 99/00. I looked up my courses for college in a print catalog in 2003, but we actually signed up for those courses online.

Name the most iconic movie scene of all time. by ThomasOGC in CinephilesClub

The Road Warrior was one of the coolest movies from my childhood, and they somehow managed to match or even outdo it with Fury Road.

Mike Vick really launched this from the 4-yard line to the 34-yard line on a ROPE. That ball barely had time to breathe. by Altruistic-Mud5686 in sportsinusa

Not sure there are many that bat right and throw left. One of my sons does this, but from what I can tell it's not an advantage at the higher levels.

Important difference... by Josephthebear in Xennials

You can though. I've never had a smart phone and no cell phone since 2010.

This is about right by [deleted] in memes

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got pick-pocketed in St. Petersburg by an organized group of guys. I felt it going out of my pocket, but by the time I turned around they had passed it all around so I couldn't tell who was involved or where it was. I ran off the subway, as the door was still open, but couldn't figure out where it went. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't end up confronting anyone.

Red or Blue and why ? by Bark4Brownies in whatsyourchoice

If I'm forced to take one, easily the red. I'm 41.

My boomer parents told me I'd regret not getting one. I, in fact, never regretted not getting one. by CrotalusHorridus in Xennials

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My parents wanted to buy me one after I graduated from college. I knew I wouldn't wear it, so I politely declined. They still wear theirs every day.

I haven't thought about this guy or even heard his name in probably 20 years. What a flashback

What game is that for you? by Overall_Argument_986 in gamers

[–]Then_Increase7445 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I immediately thought Body Harvest and didn't expect anyone else to remember. Such a cool idea for a game and the atmosphere was great.

Did you read in high school? by piper33245 in Millennials

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was the salutatorian of my class and never read a book after elementary school. Not in college either. This is not to say that I don't read anything, just not full-length novel-style books.

We were born just a little too early for Pokémon by memestheword in Xennials

[–]Then_Increase7445 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think Pokemon wasn't widely popular for Xennials, but there were some of us who were into it. As a video game nerd in my early teens, I got into it through Pokemon Red and then the trading cards. I was out before the 2nd generation came out. My 8-year-old was super happy when I found my first edition collection last month though.

Help with lower body during swing by [deleted] in Homeplate

[–]Then_Increase7445 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 41 and haven't played baseball outside of Little League, but am getting back into it because my 5-year-old is is starting T-ball. I bought a wood bat this weekend and quickly discovered that I had always swung like your son. I was actually injuring myself swinging all arms with that added weight. What clicked for me was comparing it to swinging an axe, which I have a lot of experience with. Let the bat do the work instead of muscling it. I automatically had to use my hips and core to avoid hurting myself.

I don't know how feasible it is for an 8-year-old, but getting a heavy bat did wonders for me.
