I’ve complete this transition and it’s wonderful. Steep up front costs, but as long as I do t love them I can replace them forever. Sending some worn ones back and getting new socks in the mail for free is awesome.
Oh cool, I was just thinking back my brief time playing organized rugby and couldn't think of a way to remove the tackling. The ability to toss the ball mid-tackle felt integral, but makes sense that people figured it out.
Thanks to this thread I'm now going through common sports and seeing what the trade off is between minimal equipment and typical rules.
Hockey's minimal version is "shinny", where you still need a puck, skates and a stick, as well as a usable ice surface which is realistically hard to come by even in cold weather areas with lakes/rivers due to the way ice freezes inconsistently. F tier.
American Football's minimal version would be two-hand touch, which is still fun and can be played with just a ball. B tier.
Rugby is similar to American Football, only the touch version doesn't really work, but hits aren't as hard so you can get away without gear. A tier.
Baseball needs a ball, bat and glove. I guess you could play some positions without a glove, but it would detract from the game. C tier.
All racquet sports need a net, ball/device, and racquet. C tier
Volleyball has some drills/games that can be done without a net, but to really "play" you need the net + ball. C tier.
Basketball needs a ball and hoop. Fairly easy to find in a city, but still a costly piece of infrastructure. F tier.
Soccer is the only S tier I can think of because you really just need a ball to get 90% of the fun from the sport (full nets give you free reign for goal height).
The slope is slippery and expensive. It all started when someone bought me this new fangled thing called an "Aeropress"...
We’ve picked this one up from the library a couple times, definitely a hit.
That’s her headphone cord. I used to have a set with a super long coiled cord like this and I’d say it’s actually the least weird thing about this pic lol.
At least there's one person in there who at least kinda gets it:
- Millennials aren't swayed by the image Harley markets and sells to attract new buyers.
- Harley waited way too long to try to do anything to update their product line to attract the interest of Millennials.
- Harley priced themselves out of the Millennial market with new offerings geared towards the millennial crowd. Imports are still much cheaper and with much higher levels of performance and quality control.
- Most Millenials think the majority of Harley riders are middle aged posers desperately trying to recapture their youth. They can't be swayed by the marketing.
I just tried to boot up CK3 on my steamdeck and the whole game crashed, this is optimized? Are you saying that if I can get it to load it'll run decently?
I’d say 2 and 3 are two sides of the same coin tbh.
Do they realize that they're literally a parody of themselves?
I was just at an aquarium yesterday admiring this tomato-y boy, are you in my head?
