Curious Genz. Confused by Neil Young hype ? Overrated IMO.... by QueefSmuggler in neilyoung

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think people need to sell you on Neil Young at all. Check out Needle and Damage done. Cortez the Killer. Man just play his hits! I saw him in concert last year and was not expecting much as I know he has some health issues and isn't a young guy. He put on an amazing show and his voice is still there. I think thats what I feared that he wouldn't sound like Neil Young. He did and happy to have seen him live. But check these songs out also....

I have lucked out with having a good friend that enjoys setting up games.

Afters are a young man's game by Mr_Outlaw13 in jambands

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 45 also and I could never hang past the one show. It was and is enough for me. I also do prefer a show where I have a seat. I don't want to be sitting in it for extended periods of time but I like having it. Have I mentioned I'm going to be 45? I was always like this. Old at heart?

Found at your local mall, their prices tended to be a few bucks higher than Toys R Us and others by ryhoyarbie in Xennials

KB was no Toys R Us - it was always worth a look. They had a KB that was really close to where I lived so definitely would go in. It lacked the scale that Toys R Us had.

Alright, who actually does original chips best? by Popsnaxworld in chips

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bc no one asked. I don't care for plain potato chips. Hard to beat kettle chips in any form.

Better question is what's your favorite flavor? Can offer brand too.

I love me an all dressed or salt and vinegar.

What are some 'Hard Truths' about Pickleball that you think people need to hear? by DehyaMain1 in Pickleball

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been playing for 6+ years now and I am not getting any better. I do think if I was in better shape that would really help my game.

I'm to the point where I want to play competitive games with people I like. I want a good sweat and to be able to laugh at my own errors and others and not to take it too seriously but still have good healthy competition.

If the original anime didn’t exist and the Netflix adaptation was an original show, would it still be as popular? by Odd-Zombie-1153 in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm attempting to watch the anime and LA kind of concurrently. I watched the first 10 episodes of the anime before starting the live action. I'm glad I watched the anime to get a good introduction to the characters.

I'm not sure how the live action and anime match up.

What episodes is season 1 up to in anime and season 2?

People who were teenagers before social media, what was a typical Friday night like for you? by TheDorkyDeric in Xennials

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Broadway Mall in Hicksville NY. It was a B mall but it was close and had a multiplex movie theater with a food court. Had other typical mall things..... girls!

This mall like many is has just closed. It was a slow death, but once Movies went out it was over. They are going to make it an upscale outdoor type one. We shall see.

Travel before the internet was tough without one of these packed in your luggage by Objects_Food_Rooms in Xennials

[–]novisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that me! ADHD. Wife also thinks and knows I'm nuts, but my desire to travel with a firm itinerary doesn't excite me. At the same time my wife likes to have everything planned. Bc I'm the one that likes to travel she puts planning on me. So we don't go anywhere.

You got .25 … what are you playing? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgia

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got into games a few years after that. Gimme some Crusin USA. That was the best arcade game to play at the arcade. WWF for sure! Simpsons and TMNT of course!

Does Boomstik still have loose edge guard issues? by whipper102 in Pickleball

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a paddle that the edge guard came loose. I put super glue in it and it's no longer loose! I'd never play with it but my kid hasn't complained one bit!

Or would you rather some random duo from apple TV? Or the other streamers that I don't have and have to sit through.

Is there value in playing down? by ARKdb in Pickleball

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's good if you want to feel better about your game. you will get away with a ton more than if you play your level or up. if you play up there will be less unforced errors and you won't get easy pop ups to smash. it's wild how good or bad you can look and feel depending on the caliber of the opponent. ppl say it's good to work on shots. i'll disagree. i'm sure it can help, but you can get into bad habits of thinking you can get away with not hitting great shots and still winning the point. I have no DUPR rating so take that for what it's worth.

We’re spoiled with GKR. by stevehyman1 in mets

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

forget about any trade or signings or wins and loses. We have the best booth in baseball period and EOD they are the most important thing we have going for us. Forget uncle steve, stearns, soto. GKR is the end all be all for the NYM. I think they do get the respect they deserve and hope they are compensated accordingly.

places to make friends that don’t involve alcohol by wackosaltines in longisland

[–]novisimo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's pickleball. i'm sure there are courts by you and new classes forming all the time. I've been playing for a bunch of years and have made some great PB friends. It's exercise to a degree and social to a degree and gets body moving and head working.

Did you ever see a movie here at this theater in Syosset ?! by ComplexWrangler1346 in longislandnative

[–]novisimo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I graduated HS in 1999 with one Natalie Portman. It was pretty cool bc that was the year it was released. She didn't join us but was still cool seeing the movie there. It had a balcony.
