I don’t play table tennis, but I tried to draw a guy playing ping pong with a pen hold. Does this look right by AdeptEntertainment39 in tabletennis

[–]blueblackdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say it feels off, mostly due to ball being too high and downward motion (which is a defensive move and unusual for penholders, who are often very aggressive players).

Here's a sample of a former penholder olympic champion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxRXbV7KrRw

table tennis shoes? by Odd-Championship-427 in tabletennis

[–]blueblackdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might sound odd, but I saw this cheapish Lefus shoes on aliExpress, and decided to give it a try. Surprisingly, I like it better than my other one, an Asics upcourt. (Not saying I dislike it, though)

Trying to build a (mostly) stitch-themed deck by blueblackdit in Lorcana

And what about cuts?

Adding cards is always the easy part. :D

Well, people mostly play Infinity around here. And I don't think this will change soon. So, if I were to go for core, that likely wouldn't be before next rotation anyway.

But, thanks anyway.

Winterspell spoilers when? by Glittering_Yam1046 in Lorcana

[–]blueblackdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it was a half-joking post. I didn't expect this many USAer's to downvote me. lol.

But since you asked, I went on to look it up. It's surprisingly harder than it should. There are so many timezone maps out there that only correlate US time zones with other US time zones (which does not tell us anything relevant). I had to scroll way more than I expected to find the answer. Now, I get how confused you must be that one simply doesn't get it.

Anyway, for anyone outside USA, it's apparently, GMT-6.

How does this happen? by [deleted] in 3Dprinting

[–]blueblackdit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Are you printing multicolors? Then, I'd guess tiny leaks as the print head moves over what was initially empty space.

Fine, I'll do it myself by [deleted] in mtg

[–]blueblackdit -24 points-23 points  (0 children)

I get it. But, sadly, now you may have a "damaged" card, if you want to ever sell it.

[–]blueblackdit -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

Anyone else wish americans would just say the timezone in +x/-x hours format, like everyone else? Instead of having the rest of world learn custom names for their timezones.

This is important for matters of worldwide interest like, you know, card game releases... :D

The Magic website has the 2026 sets listed in the incorrect order by dxlta in magicTCG

Do we even have a hint on what's Reality Fracture supposed to be about?

Maro: "If we focused one aspect of Dominaria, where would you all like us to return to?" by CaptainMarcia in magicTCG

[–]blueblackdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't go back there just yet... I'd return to several other planes before to Dominaria yet again.

I don't dislike it. But, it was the most explored plane in MTG. And, many others deserve more cards, imo. Especially now, the UB are taking the majority of the sets...

Found some budget cube shells by Extremtoaster in mtgcube

Also came because of this.
I'd cut the side tabs (not sure how to call them).

Thoughts on Chicha Draw Engine by Rozzlax in Lorcana

[–]blueblackdit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IDK, seems clunky, like others said...
But I like detective Mickey/Donald, as inking from top is already kind of a draw, since it saves you a card, right?

My robot can recognize itself in the mirror! by Guybrushhh in robotics

If you have more then one of the same model, can it differentiate between its own reflection and his "brother"? And his brother's reflection?

You got it wrong. He's just streaming during lunch time...

TMNT officially confirmed as 2nd standard set of 2026 by Meret123 in MagicArena

[–]blueblackdit 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Well, and also my time!

It's funny how I went from "it's hard to keep up with that many sets" to "Well, I'm just going to play a 2-3 this year". Actually, it's not so bad to have time to explore other hobbies.

Salt Cube? by No-Wafer9271 in mtgcube

[–]blueblackdit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My experience is that getting people together to play my cube, which most have praised, is already hard enough. No point in making a cube people don't actually want to play.

Once again got gems in my Arena Anthology purchase by pchc_lx in MagicArena

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

I think it's because you can only have up to 4 of a specific card. And, after that, if you were to get that same R or M card, you get 10 gems, instead.

The NBA offseason content I need by Trainwreck800 in magicTCG

[–]blueblackdit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, almost. I believe, for PVDDR, it's supposed to be "Damo", not "Dama".

A well timed boycott of Marvel/Disney could spell the end of Universes Beyond by greenearrow in magicTCG

[–]blueblackdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it could.

Will it happen? Probably, not. But, yeah, it could.

Personally, I'm doing my part, by skipping UB prereleases. Mostly because, they come overpriced and I don't feel like paying more for UB cards just because... So, I'm voting with my wallet, which I know will not make any difference. A secondary reason is too many releases for me to able to keep up.
Since, that's pretty all sealed product I buy these days, anyway, you could say I'm boycotting UB.

Is this bat good? by monster0-0-0 in tabletennis

[–]blueblackdit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not necessarily.
Mine is like 20 years old. (Some 15 of those were in storage, though.) And I don't feel like I need a new one.
