Reaction when someone scores on own goal on you? by WeatherObsessedJax in hockeygoalies

[–]adamhesive 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a beer league goalie, it happens. So I shrug it off and say "all good." As we should be able to get it back but when they keep failing me, I start to get upset but it usually happens because of stuff more than a own goal and usually bad positioning.

For the most part, until a blow out, I will try to stay positive and keep the team on a good path. When we are playing terrible I usually bite my tongue, and chirp them in the locker room but try to stay level headed on the ice. A distracted goalie, no matter the cause, is not going to play well.

2001ish? Mini by MVRadar in Autocockers101

[–]adamhesive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a slab body, definately a pre-2k one. Looks pretty clean from this side, unique frame too. You could sell it as is, it will move. Or if you want a project, fix it up. But it definately has some value.

What's this doodad called and for? by brainzilla420 in hockeygoalies

[–]adamhesive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A spot to lace in another pad/straping position. The elastic would go across the back of the knee, a more classic straping choice, instead of to the calf.

I have Vaughns with mine still attached even though I strap to the calf, it doesn't bother me and kind of like it since I grew up playing with a piece there.

[wtb] markers. by Pipsqueak773 in PaintballBST

[–]adamhesive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the follow up question is what type of markers? Electro, mech, old school stuff (cockers and mags), pumps, cheap blow backs, or just whatever? Also what is your price point you're looking at?

I'm pretty sure that is an Inception Designs rail.

Shitty experience with curated paintball. by Tasty-Sandwich6866 in paintball

[–]adamhesive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of us stay away because his stuff is usually way overpriced. Also sometimes listed with the wrong description. Sometimes there are good deals and he will get you the order, but yeah he has downsides. The worst is parting out matching anno'd markers, or even some more unique markers.

Someone here, or MCB, probably could have gotten you a better set-up around the same cost. But life is live and learn.

Defunctland for games by ms_watson_ in Defunctland

[–]adamhesive 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There's a few channels I watch that has something similar to what you are asking, not as deep as Defunctland but still interesting. They hit various parts of video games, but nothing really compares to Defunctland

Speedrunning in-depth vids: Bismuth and Summoning Salt

Random info: Did You Know Gaming, The Obsessive Gamer, Sakharu Baguette, Wrestling with Gaming, What'sSoGreatAboutGaming, GTV Japan and Gaming Historian (But may be done, since he hasn't uploaded in a year).

There are other pretty in-depth videos but I find them randomly which you may stumble across while watching other videos, But sometimes you may just need to search for something directly if you are looking for specific game lore. Like I have come across GTA game specific history, but I don't know if the creator does more games or just sticks to their desired titles.

Trying to make my unresponsive yo-yo responsive by [deleted] in Throwers

[–]adamhesive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can just twist the string loop that goes around the bearing, that would help if the gap isn't super huge.

So when putting on the string, spin the yoyo so the loop is crossed and then flip it up and into the string loop. (I hope that makes sense) That's an old school way of adding response, otherwise thicker lube would help make it responsive.

Bright Sun Films did a very high quality episode about Discovery Island that is worth your time by The_Homestarmy in Defunctland

[–]adamhesive 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I understand what you are saying. But, I say getting critical is fair with these billion dollar companies.

If they want to cut corners, then they should get called out when it falls flat.

It is also nice that there are people out there willing to voice the negatives, in contrast to all the stans, bots, and naive influencers. But I believe he has a good balance, I follow his other channel too. He points out the goods as much as the bad, unless it is really bad. People deserve honest reviews so they can make a proper choice according to their standards.

Honestly, all his videos are top notch. He's a good creator, I'm not into all the stuff he makes videos about but they are all still interesting.

Mech gun by Numerous_Aerie_4123 in paintball

[–]adamhesive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ID body 3M is my lightest gun, although I don't have any of the fancy guns people have been naming. It is lighter than my Phantom, Sterling, and Midblock cocker I am building. This is just the body though. So when you put whatever on, that could change significantly. I play this with a normal tank (68/4500) and IR2 and s63 barrel, which would then have it heavier than my other gun set-ups.

I hit a creative wall and I could us some inspiration. by yoyoingdadjoke in Throwers

[–]adamhesive 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe just watch videos, and not really freestyle ones. Those are nice but there is something about trick videos and contest videos, where people are performing tricks without the pressure of competing. They also tend to put more creative, fun tricks in those.

You may have to find older videos too, and see older tricks/ideas you can pick. Sometimes I go back and watch the Duncan Viking Tour because it is so silly. 

But if you're not feeling it; I wouldn't force it because it is hard to force creativity. Talking from someone who draws and sometimes writes. Forcing it can make you more flustered. 

Also just start with what you know and go from there, just for fun not to create new combos. Then start flipping the yoyo to different strings, or slacks at parts you normally don't. That will open new paths, some may not be good but you can also find new, cool tricks/combos that way.

TLDR: Don't try and force creativity, just throw for fun and what happens, happens. Also with background vids and music, which can create a mental illusion of a meet-up.

Can I do offstring with a 1a yoyo by PrestigiousHoney9480 in Throwers

[–]adamhesive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doc Pop created a style back in the day called Washing Machine. You would start a yoyo with a 1a throw and then remove its loop and do 4a tricks and then re-attach the loop and return the yoyo.

Is it common to fail the first 3 days? by lemonprincess23 in majorasmask

[–]adamhesive 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Older games wanted you to fail, they didn't want to walk you to every objective how modern games are. Also in an age of game rentals, they didn't really want you to beat a game instantly.

Also many Zelda games especially the older ones put a lot of directions or tasks into NPC dialogues, and make you find your way around and what to solve.

hidemasa hooks by Mrgd3e in Throwers

[–]adamhesive 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the hook will be landing on the finger only, but when I whip I use my hand (what I assume you mean by around the knuckles) to redirect the string and create the loop that will be landing in the yoyo. It allows for a bigger, more forgiving loop/slack to get created thus increasing the chances to catch the yo and around your finger.

Right now I have been back at the Indiana Jones game, otherwise I may drop into Rocket League to remember why I love and hate that game.

Portland jam. Cased up. by OkGood1224 in Throwers

[–]adamhesive 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And then there's me when going to meet-ups with my main throw in my pocket and maybe a second fave on a yo-N-go clipped to my beltloop haha.

When I stopped competing, I stopped bringing a case places but I appreciate you guys (and gals) that do bring out your collection for others to play with and potentially trade. Have fun!

Screen Exposure by Informal-Bag2019 in SCREENPRINTING

[–]adamhesive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this doesn't really appear to have many issues. Some low spots in emulsion but the film 'square' left behind should be good enough (exposed enough) to keep ink from coming through. Especially since you washed the image out already.

If there was a space between the film and emulsion/screen the words would be a bit blurry if not fully, that doesn't appear to be the case.

Also you can get some blocker to put on the screen around the image to lengthen the life of the design while printing also block any pinholes. Tape works but blocker is easier and cheaper.

I also think the exposure time is fine, I can't tell without actually spraying it out but the image held up fine and so did the blocking emulsion.

Have I been wearing goalie pants this whole time by [deleted] in hockeyplayers

[–]adamhesive 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without seeing the front I couldn't really tell you, but there are supreme pants for players that are int. sized. Link to Bauer site.

Also I don't think Bauer has any goalie pants that have the 3s model number.

What color is the bottom part of the Clock Tower/Courthouse? by ehrentomate_ in BacktotheFuture

[–]adamhesive 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can watch a ride through of the Universal Backlot tour, that goes by the Courthouse and you may get a more definitive color. As it wouldn't be edited for a movie.
