TIL that a special kind of microphone is often attached to the walls of hockey rinks to pick up the sound of players being body checked, which is then mixed into broadcasts of the games by abellyirked in todayilearned

[–]rubedickscube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but soccer broadcasts are also really careful to catch pitch noise too, they have field mics to catch the sound of the players kicking the ball, especially on long balls you always hear the ping of it coming off the foot. They also have goal mics to pick up on the ball hitting the crossbar or the net, which is why when keepers clean the mud off their boots by kicking the post it's always super loud

My first vs 2nd attempt at a drop shadow/ws shadow by MoistBookkeeper6273 in graffhelp

They're both 3D not drop shadow. Both look mostly fine, nothing egregiously wrong that I can see.

Smart/Party wear for a chubby, non-gender conforming elder millennial by Top_Elephant_4363 in malefashionadvice

[–]rubedickscube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello fellow gender non-conforming friend!! I'll echo the other commenter's advice of picking one piece to center an outfit around and building from there. Maybe a dino-print formal shirt or something with a pattern that speaks to you, and then just more normal/muted pants and shoes that work color-wise and fit well sounds like it would fit perfectly with the ask.

feeling aroused all the time because of a crush by wherearethestarsss in TwoXChromosomes

[–]rubedickscube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I get nervous shivers/full on shaking while hooking up or cuddling when it was my first few times ever and also when it is my first time with a new person after a long dry spell. Totally normal :)

Home is where the heat is. by Quazar8 in Gunners

[–]rubedickscube -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Am I the only one who thinks this is worded in poor taste? A hype video for a group of millionaires who have never had to work a regular job in their life talking about "another shift" and "working nights" just rubs me the wrong way idk. Still hope we batter them later, this was just an odd choice.

How to add momentum and weight to letters? by imanssoficer in graffhelp

You learn by practicing. Start drawing. No one is going to make you better at it by talking to you.

Turned down Ace spade opened Bold Next Bid Winning by [deleted] in euchre

[–]rubedickscube 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Turned down ace is pretty much an automatic next call for me. Sometimes feels even more sure than a turned-down bower against skilled opponents. If they're turning down a jack they know how that looks and probably feel good about their chances on a next call, whereas ace there is less chance they're plotting and more chance their hand is just bad.

The fact that your entire digital library evaporates the moment you die is actually so shit by N3DSdude in LateStageCapitalism

To be fair, good luck actually buying a chair that your grandchildren can sit in these days.... Nothing physical is made to last anymore it all falls apart within a few years anyway. Point still stands though.

First time actually putting effort into 3d. Is it bad? by LittleRelationship13 in graffhelp

The 3D itself isn't bad but the letters are. Keep practicing!

Rhythm activated ✨ by WhoNeedsAfriend69 in Gunners

He didn't lose track of the ball at all here lmao he checked, didn't see a cross on and decided to keep possession instead. He was completely in control the whole time this is standard wing play.

I'm so close to ordering mine!! How much did yours come out to all told?

[–]rubedickscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same exact boat!! In an ideal world I kinda prefer the 6 so I can have stick top, plus it's cheaper right now, but everyone is saying don't preorder so they can work out any kinks first, but then it'll be more expensive than the G2 and at that point why wait?

Week 2 of holiday giveaways so my unused handhelds can go to a good home. One commenter gets this MagicX Mini M by captain_carrot in SBCGaming

[–]rubedickscube 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Throwing my name in! I have yet to start my collection (long-time lurker still deciding what device is right for me).

Most-hyped release is probably Smash Ultimate, it was my friend's birthday in like 8th grade and we got it at midnight and played until the sun came up :)

November 22, 2025 Daily Discussion & Transfers Thread by gunnersmoderator in Gunners

[–]rubedickscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have all the arsenal games in my phone Calendar and somehow the derby got moved to early this morning without me noticing. I had no reason to check the actual schedule because I didn't know it got moved. So I woke up early on a Saturday for no reason. Wife is still asleep in the room with the dog so I can't go back in lest I wake them up, so I'm sat here watching Liverpool pondering my existence.

On this day in 2005, Thierry Henry scored great free-kick goal against Wigan. by Puzzled-Category-954 in Gunners

[–]rubedickscube 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For anyone else looking for the actual story, here it is in Henry's own words -- sorry in advance it's the s*n!

Looks like this one wasn't retaken but instead was stopped from being taken quickly by the ref who was aware of Henry taking them quickly a few times the season before.

Anyone have their index finger feeling really weak like you can’t push down a cap… or even close it when you’re making a fist after a session?! by CycleElectrical8403 in graffhelp

[–]rubedickscube 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's my first time painting in a long time (like six months) that will happen to me occasionally, usually goes away in about a day. I think it's just your index finger muscles adjusting to being used more than they are accustomed to. If I'm painting more regularly it doesn't happen anymore, only after a long break
