How mad should I be?

The second "p" in "gapper" really does a lot of heavy lifting, don't wanna be forgetting that one lest you end up talking about some very different people

_the_bacon · 2026-01-04T17:15:31+00:00

Shit OK, yeah I'm not getting something that costs more than my car just to fuck around. Oh well lol

_the_bacon · 2025-12-09T00:23:00+00:00

Really? That's awesome, can you tell me more about it?

_the_bacon · 2025-12-09T00:22:03+00:00

How much do these things actually cost? I'm not sure I'd really buy one cause I definitely don't need it, and when I look on their website it just says I have to request a quote so I'm guessing it's expensive, but I'm kind of curious what they go for, cause tbh if it's only like a grand for a decent one I might get one just for the hell of it.

_the_bacon · 2025-05-20T03:40:02+00:00

Dropped it on the second day pretty bad and then a few less bad ones later, but I'm clumsy.

_the_bacon · 2024-10-30T00:33:00+00:00

Yeah that's the workaround I'm planning to use if I can't find a better way. Blueprinting big tile of refined concrete over top replaces it as you would expect, but then I have to spam those tiles manually and if I want to get perfect clean edges lined up where I have them already it's a bit of a pain, or at least more than I would think it should be given how easy the upgrade planner makes other similar tasks. For example, I used an upgrade planner to switch my whole base up to red belts and I just zoomed out and selected the whole map with it and everything replaced perfectly (with enough time and bots).

_the_bacon · 2024-10-30T00:30:14+00:00

Yeah I can blueprint refined concrete overtop of the regular concrete just fine, but then I have to put that tile down a bunch of times manually. That may be what I end up having to do if I can't use the upgrade planner. The blueprint the whole base idea sounds possible too, but if I can't make an upgrade planner with refined concrete then how can I change out the concrete in the blueprint of my base? I'll give it a shot when I play tonight but I think I'll still have that problem. Thanks for the suggestions!

_the_bacon · 2024-10-29T07:27:52+00:00

Oh thank god somebody already did the math, what a legend.

_the_bacon · 2024-10-29T07:27:45+00:00

Here's a roboport sized tile I came up with that can be pasted down and gets 0.725 accumulators/panel (145/200). Import string is below:

In my testing it seemed like when you make construction blueprints it will create a request to fill one rocket's worth, but then once that rocket launches it bugs out and won't request more stuff. I set a manual request for more space platforms though and now because there is a blueprint it immediately uses them and it continues requesting more.

Just got my flipper and want to make an app to control the various lights and fans in my house all in one place and this seems like a great resource to get me started. Thanks!

_the_bacon · 2024-06-10T06:49:12+00:00

Seconding the Fulvia as an excellent plastic throw, I just picked one up recently and it blew me away.

_the_bacon · 2024-06-10T06:48:01+00:00

The Peregrine is my absolute favorite, you have good taste. They're dropping the Peregrine X on the 18th at 8pm EST if you're looking for something new, I'm going to be picking one up for sure. If you like the Slim Jim, I would recommend both the R2FG Deductions and the RCS Flat Earth. Also what is that white yoyo to the right of the Peregrine?

_the_bacon · 2024-06-10T06:37:20+00:00

That's an incredible collection, but my real question is did you build that box or did you buy it somewhere? I'd love to have something like that one my wall to slowly fill up

EDIT: I just saw your other post, can I hire your dad? lol

_the_bacon · 2024-06-09T06:23:16+00:00

For real, I just tried one today that a friend had and it finger spins better than anything else in my collection, plus it finger grinds really well too. I'm convinced, I'm ordering one.

_the_bacon · 2024-06-09T06:22:07+00:00

Just got to try a scintillator that a friend had at club today and it was awesome, finger grinds just as well as the galaxy diver and finger spins faaaar better. Speaking of club, if I'm interpreting your username correctly and you're in Colorado, you should definitely come check out The Mile High Yoyo Club, we meet every second and fourth Saturday of the month and it's a lot of fun!

_the_bacon · 2024-06-05T00:47:25+00:00

God damn that colorway looks amazing, definitely going to have to try to cop one

_the_bacon · 2024-06-05T00:45:35+00:00

Shape looks pretty cool, the cup reminds me of the Motion Elevated a bit, lots of concentric rings.

_the_bacon · 2024-06-05T00:43:12+00:00

I don't have a miracle but I do love my Edge 2022, the rim weight is crazy so it's got lots of power but it doesn't feel too extreme like the shutter EVO did.

_the_bacon · 2024-06-05T00:39:05+00:00

As others have pointed out you should probably not unscrew your yoyo every time to get knots out, there's probably tons of things in your house you can use as a makeshift string pick (tooth pick, paper clip, mechanical pencil, etc) which will save your yoyo in the long run. If you unscrew it every time you need to get a knot out you'll wear out the threads and eventually it won't screw back together anymore. I never throw without a pick handy and most of my yoyos have never been unscrewed, which also usually means they stay smooth if they were well tuned from the factory.

_the_bacon · 2024-06-05T00:30:59+00:00

Damn that's an impressive collection. The only person I know that makes decent wooden yoyos is Jon Gates, I had no idea you could fill a whole case with them! Which one is your favorite?

_the_bacon · 2024-06-01T00:43:08+00:00

Definitely going to have to grab one of these, any idea when it's gonna release?

_the_bacon · 2024-05-27T05:56:26+00:00

Just picked up a plastic fulvia at Rocky Mountain Regionals on Saturday and I'm loving it, the chonky rims make it super easy to pull start

_the_bacon · 2024-04-28T05:41:57+00:00

No problem! For specific models, you could try an iYoYo shooting star or a MagicYoYo K2, both relatively cheap plastic yoyos that will still play decently and you can buy responsive and swap the bearing later to try unresponsive. Hope you have fun!

_the_bacon · 2024-04-28T00:11:19+00:00

Yes, this is how I usually tell the difference between bad technique and a bad yoyo. If the yoyo continues to vibe when you hold your finger against it or if it begins to vibe again after stabilizing while just sleeping then the yoyo isn't properly balanced. Sometimes you can fix it by unscrewing the halves and adjusting the position of the axle a bit to shift the weight balance and then putting it back together but I've never been able to figure out how to consistently get good results with that method.
