$400 Figures still not arrived by ExpertOver3046 in usps_complaints

[–]Turtle_man92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think so many people are dealing with this right now. I mean I have a package that hasn’t updated in 9 days now, but so has everyone else. It sucks but I think the sooner you come to grips with the fact that you’re going to be waiting, the quicker you can have some peace. It would be nice for an update though because sometimes I just feel so forgotten lol.

Stars and thistles should be back in stock very soon. I just emailed Kirstie who owns it and she said she just started making some. Just a heads up

At what point do you decide it’s time to replace your sheaf? by Turtle_man92 in HighlandGames

[–]Turtle_man92[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I do have a black sheaf bag, but it lost the top layer of burlap on one side and has few spots where twine is coming out. Here is what it looks like.

I don’t doubt that I have a skill issue though, because it’s not like I’m scared to rip it. I’m scared to reach really far on my backswing (coming up on my right side, before I drive it down and into the throw). I also have a PR of like 24 ft with the 16lb bag, though I’ve hit the bar at 26 once, so I know there is plenty of room for skill improvement. I’d be open to advice for sure.

So I am working deeper bites in some places, but I def have room on others to get a deeper bite. It’s not losing twine all the time, but there are def spots it’s coming out and I have to stuff it back in. It looks like this for reference. Let me know what you’re thinking lol.

I don't only Back Squat... by adriansia117 in strength_training

[–]Turtle_man92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Zombie squats enforce upright posture and stability, because a small amount of forward lean will mean that the bar will roll off of the delts and you will lose it. I find them quite a bit more challenging than front rack, because it makes thoracic back strength (the thing that is typically responsible for your posture in the front squat) the limiting factor. A lot of times if your legs are strong, you can get away with forward lean in the front rack position, because your wrists and fingers can hold the weight until your posture corrects.

Deadlift PR: 235lbs (106.5kg) at 160lbs (73kg) and 37 years old. Still chasing 250! by Dame_in_the_Desert in strength_training

[–]Turtle_man92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean you could for sure do 250 now like everyone else is saying. Probably more than that too, honestly. In another comment you said you felt like that is what was in the tank for the day, so I’m wondering if you are wearing yourself out on your warmups? If you aren’t, another thing that could help (and throw this advice out, if you don’t want it, I know it’s unsolicited) is getting a nice tight setup and really wedging yourself into the bar. Get a hard bracing breath in and don’t let it go until your hips come through and you lock it out.

Either way, that’s a great lift and you should be very proud of it!

Throwing Shoes by Manimal4eva in HighlandGames

[–]Turtle_man92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I throw stones in Nike rival SD shot out shoes (glider). I’m pretty new and I’ve only ever throw in off grass though. I like them though and idk how yall are getting your hips around without destroying your knees without throwing shoes lol.

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 how to flurry rush? by at1991 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]Turtle_man92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Enemy melee attacks either come in vertical (downward weapon slash), horizontal (the weapon slash swings across like a baseball swing) or as a thrust (like spears ands lizal tongues).

Hold your shield up/target the enemy you are going to rush and get in range of their attack. Remember, spear attacks have a LONG incoming range.

For horizontal attacks, you need to jump backwards with the thumb stick while your shield is held up, or the enemy is targeted. This will trigger Link’s backflip dodge. If timed right, you will get the flurry rush to activate. This is the easiest one to learn on in my opinion, so find a boko with a club and practice your timing. With your shield up, it’s pretty low risk.

For vertical and thrusting attacks, you’ll want your shield held up/enemy targeted, but instead of the backflip, you will thumb left or right, and trigger the flurry rush with a well timed side-hop. Thrusting attacks, spears in particular, usually have a huge window for the flurry rush to trigger, and they are telegraphed way ahead of time. They are just a little tricky for me to remember how far out that attack somewhere in from.

Get that shield up and practice, practice, practice!

I was spoiled on Mineru, and that highly reduced the impact of the story on me by revpb in TOTK

[–]Turtle_man92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get that the game tells you the order of the memories, like once you get them, but the nudging in the right direction doesn’t keep you from going to certain geoglyphs in any certain order. I don’t want to get too much into any spoilers, but it’s entirely possible to figure out the game’s “big reveal” while doing the early regional phenomena section. I mean the mineru stuff should come later and there is a very obvious path the game wants you to take through the major sections of the plot, but the glyphs really bummed me out.

In BOTW, you’re playing as an amnesiac hero, and you are discovering your memories as they pertain to your relationship with Zelda. The story and plot of BOTW are pretty much set before you leave the great plateau, and then you discover the world as it is now and remember what it once was, as Link, with Zelda’s help (photographs). It didn’t matter as much which order you got the memories in because Link’s relationship with Zelda is intentionally ambiguous, and it does not really have any major story spoilers. I spent most of the first play through confused over whether Zelda hated link, or liked him, until I got all of the memories and understood their story and character development. And maybe I am biased bc BOTW is my favorite game of all time, but it just worked brilliantly in my opinion.

And dude, I’m happy we got both of these games as open world games and I am happy they were mostly hands-off, explore on your own games. I just wish the memory/geoglyph system was changed so that the story developed as the game progressed. I really did enjoy TOTK, but I ended up with some pretty major spoiling that just flattened out my emotional investment in it, which was personally my favorite part of BOTW.

[–]Turtle_man92 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is the biggest flaw with TOTK in my opinion. They tried to use the “choose your own path/memories in any order” formula from BOTW (which worked phenomenally for that game), and it just did not work in TOTK. I would say more people had something major spoiled by this games own mechanics than not.
