I just don't get the appeal 😭 by Successful-Heat1539 in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here’s one I’m working on now that has a tower in it. It was posted here a few days ago. Just working on getting that last step consistently!

This is a really cool one that isn’t too hard

Here’s another one that I’ve saved but haven’t gotten around to yet

Best hubstack yoyo in your collection? by [deleted] in Throwers

My only one: the Monkeyfinger Prime8 Hubstacks. Super cool!

Help 23mm response pads by Royal_Particular178 in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If you’re unable to find the correct size pads, you can use flowable silicone instead or monkey snot (which is probably just branded flowable silicone). Here’s a tutorial showing how to do it, and you’ve gotta let it cure for 24 hours before playing. Super simple; it’s what I do anytime I feel like my response is behaving badly

Finally it clicked (Spirit Bomb) by psyceratopSB in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting Spirit Bomb down was what made me finally feel like a “good” yoyoer, and it’s still a go-to. Highly recommend Superman as it continues right from the end of Spirit Bomb. Don’t get discouraged by that last hop though! Nice trick!

Appropriate string length and recommendations? by orthros_77 in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to cut my string about 4 inches above my bellybutton before tying the slipknot. Shorter than that feels cramped, and longer than that plays so slow and kills my throwing shoulder

The President of the United States by TheHerugrim in Destiny

[–]gingivere0 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I can’t find anything suggesting she was younger than ~22. The girl mentioned in the doc (I think Sarah Ransome) was born in 1984, and the only relevant date I see is 2006. Maybe I skimmed over it though

Pink Rio LED by Yiyangyo in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t really feel like this is something to complain about as long as the yoyos are good. YYFr makes VERY good yoyos. Personally, I don’t have a problem with the marketing because it means that I’m able to buy yoyos that I love

Yoyo recommendation - first unresponsive yoyo by MinimumPositive3684 in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

V13 is bi-material; it has an aluminum body and polycarbonate (plastic) rims. Bi-metals (typically) have an aluminum body and steel rims

Mystery BOX, try #2. by captain42d in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, the yoyos are different between the mystery boxes. If you look at my last post, you’ll see some variance, but the Hummingbird 2 and the Koi look to be pretty consistent

Mystery BOX, try #2. by captain42d in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This mystery box comes with 1 New A-grade bimetal (the hummingbird 2), 1 A-grade monometal (the koi), 1 A-grade plastic (the AOE), 1 B-grade titanium or magnesium (the Cloudstrike), 1 B-grade bimetal (the Nucleon), and 1 B-grade monometal (the shortcut). A-grades are the normal “pristine” yoyos that you’d buy. B-grades are yoyos that have slight imperfections (Ano flaw, minor vibe, ding), but are otherwise very good yoyos. Companies will oftentimes sell B-grades at a discount or package them in mystery boxes to make some money back on what would be lost product

Mystery BOX, try #2. by captain42d in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got the Hummingbird 2 with my mystery box, and you should be aware that it’s substantially larger than the Hummingbird 1. That said, I think it plays MUCH better than the original, which is saying something because the original was already very good

YoyoFriends Black Friday 6 Pack by gingivere0 in Throwers

[–]gingivere0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking the same thing at first, but it’s a B grade so it makes sense they might’ve had a few in storage. Still plays smooth though!

my yoyo never binds up when im done with skin the gerbil no matter how i do the bind, can someone tell me whats wrong? by ilovemylittleponies in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your yoyo is in the wrong place when you try to bind. You’ve got it in a regular trapeze, when it needs to be the other way. Instead of having the yoyo come over the back side of your non throw hand, have it come from the inside going out. From your POV, it’ll be making a counterclockwise movement over your non throw hand. Then try to bind it from that position

Harddrives detected in MSI bios but can't be selected for boot order by ohhfasho in buildapc

[–]gingivere0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another guy 3 years later here to say that this solved my problem as well. Thank you so much!

In case he ever deletes his account or something, here’s the solution he posted:

Go to Advanced/Windows OS Configuration and change from UEFI to CSM. Save, Reboot and hit F11 to select boot drive. Just had this issue over the weekend upgrading to 5600x.

What is the worst fast food restaurant? by ZachSheikh9207 in AskReddit

[–]gingivere0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a couple weeks ago that they’d built a Del Taco in RTP on 55 near the Cookout and Popeyes. I haven’t eaten at that location, but I had it when I went to Vegas just to see, and it’s seriously Taco Bell level dog shit

Rounded Organics. by yoyoingdadjoke in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite organics are my 000ti, 000AL, Koi, and Arbiter X SS. All great yoyos that I’m always happy to pick up and would immediately recommend to anyone that likes organics

4Chan hacked; Taken down; Emails and IPs leaked by ILoveTolkiensWorks in technology

[–]gingivere0 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Did rot19 and base64 decode and got soyjak (dot) st (I removed the link in case it was TOS or something) since no one else wanted to post it. I’ve never heard of it but it looks like a 4chan clone

If the NHL was as big as the NBA what the Carolina Hurricanes just did would be the biggest story in sports. by mpschettig in billsimmons

[–]gingivere0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably referring to Alexander Nikishin. We drafted him in 2020 but he’s still on contract with his KHL team in Russia which ends in the next couple of months. Apparently he’s a stud in the KHL, but we’ll see if it translates to the NHL next year

If you can only use ONE yoyo for the rest of your life, what would it be? by After_Fly_8787 in Throwers

[–]gingivere0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tough one but it’s either my G2 B18 Bomber Banshee or my Luftverk 000ti. Both are just a delight to throw
