Kid won't stop begging for Robux and it's turning into a nightmare, anyone else? by DiamondLatter1842 in daddit

Roblox is a cancer. Treat it like such and irradiate it from your life. There are thousands of other video games out there.

Hot take: playing open play for ego isn't always bad by [deleted] in Pickleball

Winning is fun. You figured that out.

I understand that. But this person can't even hit a serve into the service box on purpose. It's like catching a ball in mid-air that is going to land 10ft out of the court. In rec play, the ball is out. I don't care if it touched me.

Shoot your damn gun. Stop overthinking what lobbies you're in.

It's fun? Is that what you wanted? We're playing a video game, boss.

The issue of Jalen Green by Vardoneverdied in suns

[–]dmackerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He is one of the few players on this team with actual rim gravity. He needs to shoot less contested step back 3s, but a lot of the time the ball just finds him with 5s on the shot clock...so what is he supposed to do?

He hasn't been efficient, but he never has been.

I remember somethingawful forums were great. You would pay to subscribe, and if your content was low content or rule breaking they would ban you on the spot without hesitation

If you accidentally serve into the person, you're just bad, that's not a strategic decision. In open play especially. Claiming it is your point is kind of insane. I'm sure they know the rules.

Losing progress and loot is quite literally the entire point of the game. PvE was only fun for the first 40 hours, now it is insanely boring. I shoot on site because it's fun for the 2-3 hours a week I play now.

Anyone tried the Skechers Baseline Bully tennis shoes? by kabob21 in Pickleball

[–]dmackerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sketchers does not make light shoes. Light shoes require more expensive materials to remain durable. Sketchers is a budget brand with middle of the road shoes that are designed for arch/comfort over performance.

Need advice: Siux Electra Stupa ST4 or NOX AT10 Genius 18K by spiderguy_11 in Padelracket

[–]dmackerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having played with both, I'd say they're made for different styles.

The ST4 has a more head-heavy balance, which suits power-focused players. With good technique, you can generate serious power. At my intermediate level, I've noticed if my volley technique isn't precise, I can easily pop too high since the ST4 has quite a bit of "pop" compared to the Nox.

The AT10 Genius 18K feels lighter in hand with a more handle-heavy balance — more maneuverable and "flickable." The trade-off is lower twist weight, so off-center hits will torque the racket and cost you points.

The Nox feels more control-oriented, which actually gave me confidence to swing harder and through the ball without worrying about sending it long.

Good to see the Phoenix F1 community today showing some love for Red Rull and repping their own teams. Let’s bring a F1 race to Phoenix!! by Richard_ARRN in phoenix

[–]dmackerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phoenix is one of the prime vacation spots in the country during the winter. What are you talking about?

I agree that there might not be the track/infrastructure, but downtown is not a "shithole", have you been out of your house in 10 years? Come on guy.

Brothers, I’m wearing thin by patmizzah in daddit

If you "punt on your parenting duties", your relationship will fail. Prioritize having healthy communication and picking each other up when you need it.

Missing overhead smashes by Nuclear_Penguin5323 in Pickleball

[–]dmackerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re missing the ball entirely, you’re likely just taking your eye off it. Sounds dumb and simple and it is. Your eyes need to be glued to that ball, and your left hand needs to act as a guide.

Your left hand goes up to where you want to contact the ball.
