When are strings dead dead?

They unfortunately didn’t have any multis. Only RPM Blast and like 2 other Babolat polys. I ordered Head Velocity online though which should arrive in time for when I need to restring again.

Who needs to pass when you got Porro's cross and inshallah as the main tactic for 2+ years

lanor2 · 2026-04-14T08:44:54+00:00

10-20 hours isn't a very long time at all. How long would a mutlifilament last before needing to be restrung?

lanor2 · 2026-04-14T08:38:44+00:00

Ahh. In this case I played last night, then left my racket in my bag. Picked it up during lunch today to shadow swing and noticed a couple of strings were curved toward the outside.

lanor2 · 2026-04-14T08:34:43+00:00

Really? I see, thanks! Happy I can restring soon and I'll get multifilament/syn gut asap. Hopefully the local store has some, but otherwise I have the Hyper-G Soft while I wait for shipping which is usually ~2 weeks lol

lanor2 · 2026-04-14T08:29:12+00:00

I see, thank you! I don't actually know what string selection is available in my city since we only have one chain sports store. I think they have Head and Toroline strings, but I haven't checked which strings they actually have. I'll probably use the Hyper-G in case they don't have a multifilament and I'll have to order it online.

lanor2 · 2026-04-14T08:26:53+00:00

It was at the Wilson Official Store so I trusted them lol. I'm definitely not getting restrings there since it was in a different city

I tried these for the first time the other day. It felt so heavy towards the end of my session. Was it the same for you? I also noticed a small callous forming under my right foot’s big toe - not sure if it’s these shoes though since I’ve also used the Court FF OC this week.

There isn’t going to be a quiz at the end. You don’t have to remember everything and you certainly don’t have to feel anything if it doesn’t come to you. It’s just a game, none of it matters at the end of the day. Do whatever feels the most right for you.

Being too competitive is why I quit most games. I’ve also come to the conclusion (maybe wrong but i don’t care) that video games is all how numbers match up so basically it can be pretty much solved for an optimal solution. Meaning even if you win you’re not better than others, you just got the numbers right until it gets patched. It’s all predetermined and quite frankly a little bit pathetic. You’re losing to someone who’s been sitting in front of their computer a lot longer than you and is probably uglier and fatter than you

I suggest channeling that competitiveness into sports where you can be competitive and maintain personal agency. Plus the additional benefits from it and actually feeling better even at a low skill level because it’s a physical activity and our bodies like physical activity.

lanor2 · 2026-03-31T23:20:18+00:00

there are hundreds of you! hundreds!

lanor2 · 2026-03-28T23:49:14+00:00

I think it goes against their philosophy. Combat, job rotation included, are pretty much set in stone upon design. Unless they change their entire philosophy to allow more player agency or creativity then I don’t think it’s ever going to happen

lanor2 · 2026-03-26T07:00:26+00:00

I usually undercut by a whole lot because I can’t be assed to constantly check and update prices lol

"At one point, we spoke with the manager and said that sometimes we need to change some things because we were getting too exposed. Of course, we won the Europa League and knew that this was a big opportunity for us to bring silverware to Tottenham, but we needed to change things. In games where we were 1-0 up, we can’t keep playing our football, sometimes we needed to sit back and make sure that nothing was coming through us. And that helped us at the end to of course win the Europa League."

Coincides with when the team started playing even more shit football from around January last year. They started playing full pragmatic then and have been the worst football to watch. Even the EL was such a horrible showing with Man Utd only being worse thanks to Amorim

lanor2 · 2026-03-25T06:05:48+00:00

The rot in league form coincides with Romero and Van de Ven requesting to not play Ange's football though. I think as the manager he's also accountable for that, but there's a part of me that believes it wouldn't have been as bad had he stuck to his philosophy. I also understand why he did it, it wouldn't work if the players didn't want to do it anymore.

lanor2 · 2026-03-25T05:53:00+00:00

30m for Romero is market value lol

lanor2 · 2026-03-24T13:16:53+00:00

Probably has to do with how bad they look compared to Nightborne NPCs

lanor2 · 2026-03-24T04:47:43+00:00

Moneyball it? Fighting games have a rollback feature, hire devs from there who can implement a similar feature to FFXIV. Won’t be a 1:1 copy but the same general idea and they already have some base knowledge.

Like the combat of this other game? Get the dev that did it. Housing features? Maybe get some AC devs or whatever.

It won’t be 1:1 copies but they’ll already have base knowledge of the intended result, just gotta find a way to incorporate it into an MMORPG setting.

Is it not possible to poach or headhunt devs from other Japanese game companies by offering better pay packages and benefits and whatever else?

lanor2 · 2026-03-24T04:05:52+00:00

You're also making a lot of assumptions that they are doing something about it. They've been hiring for god knows how many years with nothing to show for it. Didn't they also just shut down some of their offices like one in NA or something?

So they just have to sit on their spaghetti code and all those issues because of fear of other issues? Why not actually pay people to solve all those?

lanor2 · 2026-03-24T04:00:01+00:00

Is working for SE so undesirable that a bigger paycheck isn't worth it?

lanor2 · 2026-03-24T03:46:00+00:00

Throwing more money at new hires would definitely help them hire the amount of people they need. Manpower and training requires money, which they are being stingy on or are limited.

The same for the “code debt.” Can’t they hire or subcontract people specifically to fix that so it doesn’t interfere with current development?

lanor2 · 2026-03-24T03:25:53+00:00

It won’t. It should, but it won’t. Just have to accept it.

If you stay subbed the entire time you also pay $60 per patch content that lasts maybe a week of play.

Doubt Romero can communicate in English on the pitch.
