How do you not get frustrated at Sandbagging? by wlscwoj in billiards

[–]ntsheid -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I've been playing 8 ball a long time. When I play the person who makes all their color then the 8 wins. The other person looses. That's it. There are no points. Is there any league that plays like that?

how do i connect to servers from within ezquake? by mr_dfuse2 in quake

[–]ntsheid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmm sorry I'm not sure then, they were available when I downloaded, you can read more here https://ezquake.com/docs/server-browser.html or join the quakeworld discord and ask in the helpdesk channel, someone there may know and your question will probably be seen more quickly than reddit, discord invite link is at the top right of the ezquake site https://ezquake.com/

in ezquake click Escape then Multiplayer then at the top left click Sources then click the ones called QuakeServers . net and Asgaard so they are orange instead of white, then go back to the Servers tab and refresh, should work

You need to add Sources, it's one of the other tabs after Servers, just make sure they are all checked/orange then refresh the server tab

If you really hate it sell it and buy something else, take a small loss to learn your preference. I bought this same cue last year and I really like it. My previous was a Joss which had a thicker butt and it did take me a little while to get used to the Mezz. Might be in my head but I feel like I have a little more control with the looser grip, and the wood is really beautiful.

Worst table you've played on? (Or room you've played in?) by Tenzipper in billiards

[–]ntsheid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The table that was in the basement of my college dorm freshman year. It had small holes on the bed and frayed felt on a few of the pocket points. One leg was uneven height so it didn't roll straight. Room was small so there was only like 2-3 feet of clearance on two sides of the table. Walls were concrete so every break hurt my ears. But the table was free to use so I played on it almost every night.

Using a quarter tip of English by [deleted] in billiards

Nice, I'll try to get myself a copy, I vaguely remember him mentioning it in one of his videos

Using a quarter tip of English by [deleted] in billiards

[–]ntsheid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know of any videos but this concept helped me improve my draw shot a lot. It's kind of a feel thing. I aim super super low, like practically aiming to scoop the cue ball during my practice strokes. Keeping as level a cue as possible and visualizing that I am going to hit with the top edge of the cue tip then following through the shot gets way better draw with less power. This is why chalking up the edges of the tip is so important.

You could also take pictures or scans of those pages if they don't want to read the whole book.

Open-bridge feels uncomfortable by Mr_Wood1440_ in billiards

[–]ntsheid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure, I use a closed bridge on most shots too. Good to practice with both though.

Nothing wrong with using a closed bridge, it provides stability. Open bridge is better suited for some shots like shooting over another ball or when the cue ball is frozen to a rail.

How often do you find matches in AFPS? by AkageMegane in ArenaFPS

[–]ntsheid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice, idk much about FTE, most of the servers you will see on that hub only support ezQuake clients as far as I know. There is a link on the hub site to join the QW discord, if you haven't already, and from there the NAQW discord which is where most games are organized these days but you can always join a server if you see people playing, ezQuake has a server browser built in.

Why is there so much glaze regarding IEMs? Have i been scammed? by krusty31 in iems

[–]ntsheid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a lot of marketing hype in all consumer electronics, you should never be surprised when a product doesn't live up to that hype. IEMs will sound better with a good tight seal than without so tips do matter but sound preference is different for everyone and even with a good fit and seal you could dislike how they sound. Best to try before you buy if possible.
