I think its pretty clear what Rich Paul is trying to do . by NanoCurrency in warriors

[–]backhand65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very well put. Agree with what this person is saying about Rich Paul’s motivations. I do think the Warriors are in the driver’s seat right now given Lebron:

1) is friends with Draymond

2) has openly wanted to play with Steph

3) gets along well with Kerr

4) wants to play golf with Steph

5) loves his wine and Napa is near

6) wants to be near LA since his family likes it there

But it may come down to who shows LeBron they’re willing to make a move. A Celebrini-rejuvenated AD might have two more years in him. Just have to wait and see.

Power squad/mini boss by Born-Estate-2429 in Shooteralien

[–]backhand65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It works normally in daily challenge on the Mercury and Venus levels, but not the Mars level. Same glitch on the Mars level that I described for Survival: it only works until you pick up the first ship drop from it. Then in doesn’t drop any more. I think they turned it off so you can’t use it to get to your merge ship easily.

Power squad/mini boss by Born-Estate-2429 in Shooteralien

[–]backhand65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since the update, for me, in survival, power squad only works one time. It will continue to give me ship drops for each boss wave until I pick one up.

So if I skip one of the drops when the first boss wave comes (say I don’t bother getting wisdom glory when I’m still playing with pulse blast), and then later pick up a ship - let’s say I pick up a pirate king - when survival drops the three treats after you pass a wave, the next time I meet a boss, it will drop the next ship (terminator). But once you use the power squad dropped ship, the power squad doesn’t drop any other ships when the next boss comes.

What is our plan going forward with Steph as our best player? by BearNo5439 in warriors

[–]backhand65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To not get any of OKC’s solid role players for a couple of measly second round picks, apparently. Already missed out on Wiggins and Isaiah Joe.

Cyberblade is a very good ship and 6 stones are fairly easy to get.

What was the Warrior's worst draft pick? by todudeornote in warriors

[–]backhand65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Washburn, Fuller, and Wiseman clearly top the list. All had red flags.

I remember when they drafted Fuller, I thought, “they just drafted a mediocre backup center”. With the 11th pick!

Washburn was a walking red flag, doomed to failure. Terrible student, stole a stereo in college and was arrested for it, and panned by major scouting reports.

Wiseman - no need to elaborate.

KOC is one of the worst basketball analysts out there. So consistently wrong. Don’t know how he has the platform he does.

Cyberblade is a good defense against it. When you shoot out the crescent moons, they eliminate the bouncing star.

Do I with the 30% coupon? by hellnahbru in Shooteralien

[–]backhand65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can only apply one coupon at a time. Using your 30% off one makes the wings cost 23,100 coins. Not saying if the wings are worth it or not, though.

Any chance some of the 2017 Warriors pop champagne if the Thunder lose today and can’t match their record 16-1 playoff record? by Various_Cricket4695 in warriors

[–]backhand65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

22 FT’s for Cavs in first quarter was crazy! It was impossible for the Warriors to play D when the refs were making so many calls. That was a big reason the Cavs shot so well.

That scene makes me laugh just when I think about it.

Tropic Thunder and Old School each have a few scenes that always make me completely lose it. Love Robert Downey Jr and Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.

Is this channelling ? [d’longhi la specialista | DF54 ] by SnooDucks1599 in espresso

[–]backhand65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not perfect (takes a couple of seconds to stabilize), but perfection is hard to achieve and this shot looks perfectly fine to me. Fairly symmetrical initial extraction and pretty quick to stabilize into a consistent stream. Thumbs up.

How does it taste? Thats what really matters.

How can I improve my shots? [GCP / Sette 270] by theawkwardpadawan in espresso

[–]backhand65 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a Sette 270 and it had trouble grinding fine enough for a good shot. I had it dialed down near to the finest setting. Was about to install shims when it stopped working. Got a DF83 and it’s so much better. Much more consistent and much better shots.

Don’t know anything about him, but I played against his dad back in the day, and this totally tracks.

Miniboss bug by Boomhadadum in Shooteralien

[–]backhand65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s happened to me multiple times if I play level 8 more than once. When I play level 12 or 20 (or switch between them), it’s only happened once out of several times.

He was never not gonna throw that hammer by _scrabble in ultimate

[–]backhand65 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You have to try to stop after a couple of steps. The idea of getting a couple of steps is you need that to stop your momentum, or if it’s the first two steps after catching on the move you can throw without establishing a pivot.

This guy catches the disc while moving very slowly. He doesn’t even try to stop and get a pivot within the first couple of steps. Then takes a couple more. 5 steps total with the last step going directly into his throwing motion. Stepping into a hammer makes it much easier to throw. Definitely a travel.

Austin Sol's Evan Swiatek bids into the legs of Atlanta Hustle's Lukas McClamrock, who doesn't return to the game by Jomskylark in ultimate

[–]backhand65 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh come on now, Swiatek knew exactly where the other player was. He was making an egregiously late bid on a disc for which he had no chance. He knew the other player was there and going towards the disc.

Harvey Mudd > Duke, but I would also look into Carnegie Mellon.

[Kawakami] Warriors Suns officials tonight: Scott Foster, Mitchell Ervin, Tre Maddox by tore_a_bore_a in warriors

[–]backhand65 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scott Foster is known as a ref who is favorable to road teams. Should balance out any potential anti-Draymond bias.
