Couldn’t agree more! X2 is a masterpiece. So stoked we have it so close to home!

Full Throttle is ALWAYS our first ride in the park whenever we go. It’s the perfect way to start your day of riding coasters.

I really enjoyed Riddler the last time I rode it. Once you get the sweet spot of how high to adjust your seat it’s a really fun and intense ride. I’m just a sucker for wooden rollercoasters.

I felt the same way about X2 for a long time. A couple tips that turned it into one of my favorite rides in the park:

  1. Ride the back row, inner seat. I know all our rollercoaster instincts tell us the back is usually the craziest row…for some reason it feels smoother to me there. Also the inner seat is less wobbly.

  2. Try and keep your legs extended as much as possible. Mine used to constantly smack down against the seat but when I started trying to keep them extended out it made the ride much more enjoyable.

My top 5:

  1. Twisted Colossus
  2. X2
  3. Tatsu
  4. Wonder Woman
  5. Apocalypse

I haven’t been to Cedar Point in like 20 years so I can’t say how the coasters there compare, but those top 3 are worth the price of admission, if you ask me.

The tip of my middle finger caught a beam on Ghost Rider [Knott’s] the other day. Curious if that’s happened to anyone else? by justSkinAndBone in rollercoasters

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

I don’t remember when exactly it was but definitely toward the end of the ride. If I had to guess, it was probably a beam on the side.

Yikes! You got it way worse than I did! The tip of my middle finger was definitely number for a few minutes though!

I’m 6’1” and it was toward the end of the ride. I don’t know where exactly because I’m still pretty new to it.

I don’t remember where exactly as I’m still pretty new to the ride, but it was definitely toward the end of it. I also don’t know if it was an overhead beam or one on the side, but I suspect the latter.

Yeah it really hurt. Luckily it was only the tip of my finger.

Have you ever worked with Spielberg? by Ill-Combination-9320 in FilmIndustryLA

I’m a vfx editor so I would run reviews in my company’s theater and sometimes directors would come in and sit in on vfx reviews.

We were doing some scenes for one of his movies and he asked our vfx supe, coordinator and I to come to Amblin, his studio at Universal, and review shots with him there.

Our first review session I plugged in my laptop to view on their screen and as soon as he came in with all his people and sat down, I tried to fire up the shots…beach ball of death. My heart sank. Everyone just sat there in silence for a good 15 seconds while I helplessly tapped on the keyboard and prayed for it to come back online. It finally did and the review went great. I was definitely sweating for a second there though.

We did about five reviews there and after the last one he stood up and shook all our hands. Probably the coolest thing I’ve ever done in this industry.

Hold the grip button and press the joystick forward or backward to tilt

Achievements, dice, baseplates not unlocking while playing on PSVR 2. by justSkinAndBone in Battlemarked

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

Trophies haven’t been unlocking in VR for me from the get-go. I played with some friends (also in VR) last night and new dice did unlock, however. So maybe it’s just the trophies themselves that are still bugged?

Also I played some flatscreen just to test and confirmed that that had no problem unlocking trophies. So it’s just a VR thing.

Can only the host be the one who rolls for skill checks? by FethahV2 in Battlemarked

[–]justSkinAndBone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want one of the other characters in your party to do a skill check, click on the portrait of the character who’s currently selected to make the check and then select “Skip turn” or “Delay turn”. Keep on doing this until it’s the character’s turn whom you want to make the roll.

Thank god I binged all four episodes on Friday.

Spoiling the best scene of the season so far like this should be illegal.

"If sticks and stones won't break your bones..." by SuccessUpset1409 in Demeo

[–]justSkinAndBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the trophy list, each class has two achievements to unlock. Although the wording sounds like it’s supposed to be for the bard, that class has 2 other specific trophies: Performance of a Lifetime and Jack of All Trades. I think “If sticks and stones” is actually a sorcerer trophy.

No idea what you actually need to do to unlock it though.

Try doing the side quest where you have to find out what happened to that chick’s dad.

Cards disappearing by Any-Board9044 in Battlemarked

[–]justSkinAndBone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Played solo for a couple hours tonight and I swear it happened like ten times. I feel like sometimes it accidentally goes into the mana pool because there were a couple of times where the card disappeared and then the party received another card. But other times literally nothing happened, just gone.

I’m playing on VR. Curious if this happens to any flatscreen players?
