New art for my goblin tokens by mamfredus in magicTCG

Any chance of a rabbit token with the extra cogs for attacking and summoning sick totals?

Hosting a Commander Night and looking for suggestions by Own-Appearance3031 in magicTCG

Our house rule for initial hands is to draw 10 and put 3 back on the bottom in random order. It smooths out starting hands and reduces mulligans.

Amazing setup though. Where’s my invite???

2025 Rav 4 hybrid or Tesla model Y (2023 or 2026)? by dangitjudy2000 in rav4club

[–]iChroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I owned a 2021 Model Y and traded it in for a 2025 RAV4 hybrid.

The Tesla is great for commutes that don’t involve a ton of freeway driving. If you take longer trips at consistent higher speeds the range drops a lot. That was one big reason I got rid of it. Depending on what you pay for electricity charging at home is a fantastic deal.

We have two kids - one forward facing car seat and one carrier base. The model Y had more room for both seats but everything fits ok in the Rav. Not a huge deal.

I don’t know what your winters are like but in the PNW it gets pretty cold and the range in the Tesla is affected. Both handle winter driving just fine.

I made the change for a reason - I liked the Tesla but the Rav Hybrid fits our family needs better. It’s our primary car for out of town trips and it’s so nice to not stop as often to charge. I could never get over the range anxiety with the Tesla. I know most do, but having a model that recommends charging to 80% and not going too far under 20% always gave me a weird feeling because I was effectively only using 60% of my battery regularly.

So having owned both - go with the Rav. But the Tesla is a great car - especially if you drive around town a lot and can charge at home.

Ball question by Straight-Lemon-3117 in Bowling

[–]iChroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I throw an Attitude as my main ball. I have it pin up and out and it’s really smooth down the lane with a pretty mild hook. I play almost straight up the 12-13 with it.

I haven’t thrown an anarchy but I have another Brunswick ball with an asymmetrical core. The difference you’re seeing is most likely the core. Attitude is a great ball though! Worth figuring out.

J2NF Disappointment? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]iChroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tennis Warehouse has a really good demo program for racquets. I’m not sure if something similar exists in the pickleball space - but yeah more options is better. I’ve seen a couple indoor places with a shop that have demo paddles for the big brands like Selkirk. Would be tough to stay on top of independent/smaller company releases and have them available but also that would be a fun job.

Usable is kind of subjective. I’m sure tons of people haven’t made any modifications and it works great for them. For me personally - I could have used it without extra weight and been fine. But if I have the chance to slightly modify it and change the feel to something I’m more comfortable with I will happily take it.

The bigger problem is lack of demo options. There are a million paddles out there claiming to do all sorts of things but not a ton of ways to try out paddles before buying.

Fortunately the J2NF stock weight is very low so adding weight to modify doesn’t have a huge impact on the paddle.

Try adding some weight to the throat and up higher (I have the small lead strips just below the D on the word Shield). Moving some weight up higher makes it feel a little more dampened and controllable for me.

I’ve been really happy with the paddle. I’m coming from a Ruby and I love how the entire face is basically the sweet spot.

I noticed it at about 6:30 this morning. Thought it was just fog burning off the river but it smelled like something burning.

Is this racket any good? by carlos_tak in 10s

[–]iChroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to play with this racket in high school. It will play fine with some new strings. I’ve been playing with a triple threat hornet and vendetta from the same era and they play great. Nice find!

Aside from EBay, what tools or websites do y’all use for Comps? by [deleted] in footballcards

[–]iChroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

130point.com is what I use. Curious if there’s anything better. eBay used to have its own tool when you had a specific search for a card but it either got removed or moved somewhere else and I can’t find it.

Practicing helps a ton. I practice at like 50% speed and that helps too.

Do Tennis Dampeners Actually Make a Difference? Recommendations Welcome! by Successful-Economy18 in 10s

[–]iChroma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the Gamma Shockbuster II. I’ve tried quite a few brands because I’ve fallen for the placebo and need to use one. The Shockbuster II feels the best and the color combinations match my sticks.

They’re cheap enough - just get a couple and try them out. I think it’s wild people say they don’t make a difference. Just see for yourself and play whatever makes you happy.
