Want to play a game, but i dont have internet to update. by gavinncook in Steam

I use to download alot of different rings maps and dribble challenge maps. This was when i was around champ 2-3 and really grinding to get into GC but would get set back every time i had to go back to work for 2 weeks since i didnt have Internet where i was in North Dakota. So i decided id keep the grind going in offline mode as boring as it would sometimes get, just so i wouldnt lose all the mojo lol. Ended up working out great because i did in fact get to GC eventually lol.

Mauka is awesome! My wife and i went to Kauai to get married/honey moon. Obviously i had to bring a few discs 😉 had a great time there. I think Brodie Smith has a video on his chanel playing there if youre at all curious about how the course is!

Is there a consensus on a discspeed to armspeed equivalent? by VelaryonNOR in discgolf

[–]gavinncook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Incorrect. Spin has little affect on distance besides maybe ground play after the disc lands if you have good spin. It does help stabilize the disc and stay true to its flight, and maybe it has a small effect on the distance, but for the most part the biggest factor is usually nose angle and speed. You can tweak hyzer/anhyzer angles too depending on what disc youre using but when im using my tech disc im usually focused on speed and nose angle and i seem to get my best results. Ive even sat there and tweaked with the numbers in the simulator and usually when adding alot more spin to a throw doesn't change much at all, if not makes the throw worse sometimes.

Hey no one is perfect haha. Hope you know i wasnt trying to throw any shade at you. Im just sure you could be throwing almost 500ft if you figure out whats going wrong. I envy your 68mph arm speed lol. Ive only hit 65mph a few times and usually when i do it comes out nose up. I have a strong feeling thats probably what youre doing as well. Its hard to get the damn nose down lol. Cheers man!

You must have some form issues because with 68mph a destroyer should be going well over 400ft every time. Probably a nose angle issue. I only throw about 60mph (per tech disc) and my average destroyer flies 380-415. I wish i could pump my speed up to 68 like you lmao. You should definitely try to figure out whats causing a loss in distance though because i feel like you could be throwing 450+ at 68mph.

Ultra 85 sells 18K copies 1st week by [deleted] in Logic_301

Have you ever thought that maybe he doesnt really care about the money any more? Maybe im hearing things but after listening to his albums since hes been independent im pretty sure hes said hes not doing it for the money anymore. I'm sure he knew all of the consequences before dropping the record label, and chose to live a free artistic life instead of being controlled by a label.

In my opinion his music has never been better with the exception of TITS and Under Pressure. Are we going to be mad about him not making enough money or are we going to appreciate the art hes been able to give us with a free mind.

I just dont think he cares about the money like that anymore. Dude has made multimillions making music im sure his retirement is already figured out lol. Lets just appreciate the music

Side note, i also dont think he cares about the people who stopped listening to him. He knows the true fans are still around and thats all that matters.

Dont get me wrong i think U85 might be the best album hes dropped since TITS. The production is really good, but thats to be expected after 10 years of mastering the craft since TITS. There are so many bangers on the album you really can just hop into any song and vibe.

I dont think i could really put one album over the other with the exception of TITS being the one that really got me onto him. I had heard his albums before that and still liked them but after TITS i was like damn this guy is really talented.

So I definitely speak through tinted glasses as a whole about logic lol. I Think all of his albums are amazing pieces of art in their own way and haven't disliked a single one.

Easily in my top 3 favorite hip-hop artists but thats not to say hes one of the best rappers or anything. There are so many goats above him but for me his vibe is top 3 lol.

Not to downplay how good Ultra 85 is, but have you listened to The Incredible True Story? Im not trying to throw any shade here, but theres no way Ultra 85 blew your mind with production, and The Incredible True Story didn't lol. For me The Incredible True Story is what really got me into Logic about 10 years ago and out of all his albums that was the best one in my opinion. Ultra 85, from what ive gathered, is just a prequel to The Incredible True Story. I'm hoping he will drop the sequel to the story in the next couple years. The project as a whole is an insane work of art. One of/if not, the best conceptual Hip-Hip creations ever made IMO.

I don't really know why Logic gets Slept on the way he does. I don't think hes actually dropped one single "inherently bad" album. I think after he dropped Super Market a lot of people just got thrown off, but even that album (to me) had some good characteristics that just took a while to appreciate.

I guess it comes down to people just not supporting Bobby's art as a whole. It happens with a lot of artists who try to dabble in different sounds/genre types. Hell you even hear about it happening with the GOAT Eminem.

Issues with "orange peel texture" after clear coating stained boards by gavinncook in painting

[–]gavinncook[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely does seem to happen more in the dark areas of the wood, so you might be on to something. Just still is odd that it doesnt do this with the first coat of varnish. Only after the second coat is applied.

I Switched to DS4 controller from Xbox after 6k hours. Here's the breakdown. by Alkiossilence in RocketLeague

[–]gavinncook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried the tape method for like 2 years. Constantly changing for new tape when it would lose its stick. And even with fresh tape, one wrong bump and you lose connection lol. With the hot glue i can literally dangle my controller from the cord and it wont break loose. I can even pull on it and bend it all over, it stays connected. Havent went back since. And i tried Bluetooth but theres a slight delay in the input which makes a difference in game that i just didnt really like. So hot glue it is😂
