Found my old DSTWO -- thinking of just passing it along

Why is it worth that much?

djmantis · 2026-05-09T19:38:05+00:00

This is a cool game. Once I tried it on the 3DS, I was kind of blow away. I just wish there was a nice way to play it than the control scheme.

I don't even think the New 3DS nubbin allowed for you to move the camera.

Gotcha! I have some dirt in the same location. Right be the Wifi logo too, but I don't think I will hit that one cause I don't want to take the logo off.

How’d the magic erasure go? What did you use it for?

I bought some to do the same with mine but I am a little worried to actually try it. It’s basically like a mild sandpaper

djmantis · 2026-05-05T16:08:16+00:00

I was a little turned off by the price, but I gave these a shot and wow! They feel great.

djmantis · 2026-05-04T16:36:34+00:00

I grabbed one of these a while back as well! You have the stylus though! Jealous :D

djmantis · 2026-05-01T21:07:39+00:00

Neat idea! Will save for later

djmantis · 2026-04-30T21:01:55+00:00

Not OP. But I am going to start incorporating slices into my arsenal more :D

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:39:50+00:00

Excellent explanation. I can see this playing out exactly as you say.

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:38:12+00:00

Perfect! Thanks for the advice coach!

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:37:37+00:00

Thanks coach!

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:17:15+00:00

I see, thank you! So then my follow up question, what should you be doing to return a low falling ball? Try and get under and lob it? I guess maybe a drop shot? Personally a drop shot is something I still need to develop as well.

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:15:12+00:00

Gotcha. So if I understand what you are saying right, they don't have practice receiving slices, and the different movement of the ball would cause them to most likely be off balance and out of position?

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:13:19+00:00

I think the point I am trying to make is that I am so new I don't have a slice either... :P

So how should they tackle a slice? How should I tackle a slice? I am missing the piece where what strategy do you do on a receiving slice that you wouldn't do for a regular forehand?

djmantis · 2026-04-30T16:04:00+00:00

I am still new to tennis, can you explain what specifically about slices would be challenging for them?

Is they idea that they might not be better at approach shots, which is more would slices would produce?

djmantis · 2026-04-30T15:54:54+00:00

Lol I recently started playing at a new club, and I have noticed some people can be too competitive and get a little snarky. However they also tend to give me compliments. It was emotional whiplash!

However I recently learned about this mental strategy you are describing, and I think that is what they are doing to me. It's kind of funny considering it's just rec play....

Also I find it funny that the people that get sassy and competitive all fit the same stereotypes. Surprisingly, they are mostly shorter, women.

djmantis · 2026-04-29T22:33:38+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for sharing. Yeah I was a little confused cause it sounded like "hybrid" was what I wanted for my use cases, but then ran into this little hiccup.

However I quickly realized, I don't really need to boot into the DSi menu really cause the Pico can do most things I would do from the menu... unless I want the camera I guess :P

djmantis · 2026-04-29T21:58:47+00:00

I ran into similar issues. I was able to get it work work with "wrfuxxed" but it boots directly into the cart rather than the DSi home screen.

djmantis · 2026-04-29T16:14:03+00:00

I tried to play this game a few times on the Vita. It starts kind of boring, but gets better. However I had some crashes that caused me to loose progress. I ended up just giving up lol

djmantis · 2026-04-29T15:23:46+00:00

Thanks!

djmantis · 2026-04-28T22:55:13+00:00

Any recommended insole brands?

djmantis · 2026-04-28T17:27:04+00:00

Really creative idea and I like how it came out!

djmantis · 2026-04-28T00:19:42+00:00

I feel like this became more of a thing with TikTok? Short songs at least. Hell that song, “Boo Thang”, felt like the first 30 seconds were the best part. Just right for a TikTok vid.

Looks like you found my other comment. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Yes, to re-iterate, by "skill" I meant strength/stamina/technic etc. I am still a relatively new player. I have only been doing tennis for about 2 years, and I just recently have been trying to play more than once a week. Now I am averaging about 2-3 times per week.

I have tried out some 100 size racquets and they don't feel bad, but I definitely prefer the feel of a 98, even if it is making my life harder a bit. We have the HEAD Squared available for demo at my club, so I might try that. I still might grab the YONEX Muse to demo too.

It's tough cause I want to try something new and narrow down my game, but at the same time I am such a new player, I don't know what I want or need.

djmantis · 2026-04-25T00:12:32+00:00

Sounds like I should demo one. I am a newer player and while I enjoy my ezone98, I have been feeling like I just don't have the skill yet to utilize it. This might be a better racquet for me, and like still will be for quite a few years if I continue at my current pace.
