My OC Cartoon Called....

GAME CRANKERS!

Gwen art credit goes to @bensadfleck

There will be more when I repost. But this would be an original adult show about four gamers living the life streaming videogames and enjoying their crazy yet daily moments of times at San Francisco. Popular gamer girl, Phoebe Danvers lives with her older brother, Julian Danvers, and hangs out with her friends, junkie gamer, Selma Dennison, smart gaming/internet technician, Richie Williams, and rookie gamer, Elijah "Eli" Chapman as they stream their way into gaming on the internet. They live at a Plaza apartment building at San Francisco, they go to college, hang out at the nerdiest store they go to a lot called, Dodger's. Where there's comic books, video games, movies and CD's to buy, coffee and soda to drink, snacks and food to eat, and arcades to play at. And that's where Terrence Brady runs it all. And he has gamer god powers almost different than Skips' immortal powers in Regular Show. And for Richie, he lives with his mother, Cecilia Williams. And while Phoebe's dad is away doing military work, Phoebe decides to stay with her brother and her friends as a family. More details coming soon if this get any notes.

I think a hip new gripe I have with the Internet is just the extreme emphasis placed on how some hypothetical person is jacking off to something.

Throughout your day, try and count the number of times you see something like a non-horny grapple animation in a video game and someone says like "Well I know a certain part of the fanbase that's gonna love THIS! 💀" to imply that there's a group of shadowy hog-crankers who capitalize on the slightest hint of suggestive content.

Or how many times someone goes "Whoever drew this was doing it with one hand 🤮" (Which, minor subgripe, that's like the only way people draw, dipshit) over just like... an anime character having an exposed armpit or open-toed shoes with no detailed or lingering focus on the subject.

We've given too much mental real estate to the idea that someone out there is jacking off to the things you aren't jacking off to, and that this is worth commenting on. Plus it ties more generally into the 'seeing someone having sex in public' debate, where people are overall petrified of their own awareness of other people's Cumming Gamerscore.

How to Improve Your Hook with the Right Bowling Ball

Bowling is more than just rolling a heavy ball down a lane; it's a game of skill and strategy. And a big part of that strategy is picking the right bowling ball. The right ball can really help you do better and get those strikes.

In this guide, we'll learn how to choose the perfect bowling ball that fits how you like to play and how good you are at it.

What Is a Hook in Bowling?

Before we get into the details of picking the right bowling ball, let's talk about something important: the hook.

In bowling, a hook means the ball doesn't just go straight down the lane; it curves to the side. This curve happens because of how the ball spins and how it rolls on the lane.

Understanding the hook is crucial to making the right choice when selecting a bowling ball.

The Importance of the Right Bowling Ball

Picking the right bowling ball really matters because it affects your ability to make the ball curve (that's the hook) and control where it goes. Having the right ball can be the difference between getting lots of strikes and having to deal with tricky splits. Let's see why this is so important:

1. Hook Potential:

Bowling balls come in different types, and each type has a different amount of curve potential (hook potential). This matters because it determines how much the ball will curve as it rolls. To improve your hooking, all you need to identify the best bowling balls for hook that deliver a decent curve to the ball.

Picking a ball with the right curve potential for your style is crucial because it helps you stay in charge of your shots.

2. Weight:

The weight of the ball is also really important. If your ball is too heavy, it can tire you out quickly, and your shots might not be very accurate. On the other hand, if the ball is too light, it won't have enough oomph to create a good hook. So, getting the right weight is key for effective hook shots.

3. Coverstock and Core:

The way a bowling ball behaves on the lane depends on two things: the coverstock material (the outer layer) and the core design (the inside structure). To pick the right ball, it's important to know how these parts work together and how they affect the ball's performance.

Determining Your Style And Matching Your Style To Ball

To find the best bowling ball for you, the first thing to do is figure out your own bowling style. Your style depends on how you approach the lane, how you release the ball, and how fast you roll it. There are a few common styles:

1. Stroker:

Strokers are bowlers who have a smooth and controlled way of delivering the ball. They don't go for extreme hooks; instead, they like a moderate one.

They typically pick balls with a symmetrical core (the inside of the ball) and a smoother outer layer (coverstock). This combination gives them a controlled hook that matches their playing style.

2. Cranker:

Crankers are a different breed of bowlers. They make the ball spin a lot and produce a sharp hook. To get that aggressive hook, crankers use bowling balls with an asymmetrical core (the inside part of the ball) and a coverstock that reacts strongly with the lane. This combination helps them make the most of their high spin rate.

3. Tweener:

Tweeners are kind of in the middle. They don't go for an extreme hook, and they don't play it completely straight either. They have a balanced way of doing things. Tweeners have the flexibility to try out different types of bowling balls, but a ball with a balanced core (inside part) and a coverstock that can adapt to different situations is often a smart choice for them.

Choosing the Right Ball

1. Consult with a Pro Shop

One of the smartest ways to find the ideal bowling ball is to go to a pro shop and talk to the experts there. These folks have a lot of experience, and they can give you great advice based on how you like to bowl, how good you are, and the conditions on the lanes where you play.

2. Understanding Hook Potential

When you're picking a bowling ball, one important thing to think about is its hook potential. They usually measure this on a scale from low to high. The trick is to choose a ball that has a hook potential that fits your own bowling style:

Low Hook Potential: These kinds of balls are great if you like to roll the ball straight down the lane or if you're a stroker who prefers a minimal hook.

Medium Hook Potential: If you're a tweener and you want a ball with a moderate hook, these are the ones for you. They'll give you that middle-of-the-road curve you're looking for.

High Hook Potential: If you're a cranker and you love that powerful, aggressive hook, these are the balls that work best for you. They deliver the strong curve you're aiming for.

3. Coverstock Matters

The coverstock is like the outer shell of a bowling ball, and it has a big say in how the ball behaves on the lane. There are three main kinds of coverstocks to know:

Plastic or Polyester: These coverstocks are perfect if you want to roll the ball straight down the lane or if you're aiming for spares. However, they don't give you as much hook as the fancier coverstocks do.

Urethane: Urethane coverstocks are excellent because they provide a controlled hook. Strokers and tweeners favor these coverstocks because they help them keep their shots precise and accurate.

Reactive Resin: Reactive resin coverstocks are fantastic because they offer the most hook potential. They're the go-to choice for crankers who crave a strong and powerful hook in their shots.

4. Weight and Drilling

The weight of the ball is really up to what feels comfortable for you. It shouldn't tire you out. Usually, most bowlers go for balls that weigh between 12 to 16 pounds.

Also, how the holes are drilled in your ball can impact how it hooks, so it's a good idea to chat with a pro shop expert to figure out the best drilling layout for your style of play.

5. Trial and Error

Choosing the right bowling ball sometimes means trying out a few. Don't be afraid to test different balls to find the one that feels just right and gives you the hook you want on the lanes. It's okay to experiment!

Ball Maintenance and Drilling

1. Proper Maintenance

Taking care of your bowling ball is a must for keeping your game consistent. Keep it clean by using a good ball cleaner regularly, and if it starts to look worn, think about getting it resurfaced. When you look after your ball, it will keep its hook potential and last longer.

2. Drilling Layout

The way the holes are drilled in your ball can be customized to fit your unique needs. To figure out the best layout that matches your style and gives you the hook you want, it's a good idea to talk to an expert at a pro shop. They can help you set it up just right.

Drills and Techniques

1. Wrist Positioning

If you want to get the most hook out of your shots, pay attention to how your wrist moves when you release the ball. A strong wrist position can give you the spin you need for a strong and powerful hook.

2. Hand Release

How you let go of the ball can also affect how much it hooks. Try out various release techniques, like the "fingertip" release, to see which one suits you best. It's all about finding what feels right for your game.

3. Follow-Through

To get a controlled hook, it's important to have a smooth and consistent follow-through after releasing the ball. Practice your follow-through to make your shots more precise and controlled.

Practice and Patience

1. Consistent Practice

If you want to get better at hooking the ball with the right bowling ball, you need to practice regularly. Spend time on the lanes working on your skills and getting used to how your chosen ball behaves. Practice makes perfect!

2. Be Patient

Bowling is all about getting better little by little. Don't rush it, and be patient with yourself as you progress. Developing a consistent hook takes time, so enjoy the journey of improvement.

Conclusion

Picking the right bowling ball is a big deal if you want to do well on the lanes. Here's the game plan: understand how you like to bowl, find a ball that fits you, and don't hesitate to ask the experts for help. With practice and a little patience, you'll master the art of bowling and start knocking down those pins like a pro. So, go ahead, choose your perfect bowling ball, and have a blast on your way to becoming a top-notch bowler. Happy bowling!

Drunk Carry

Did this for a prompt a while ago (”carry”) and decided to clean it up finally. Angel calls Husk to pick him up out of the gutter after a night on the town. Also available on AO3.

Husk rolled his eyes as Angel’s head lolled onto his shoulder, drool dripping into his fur. Damn kid had went and got himself so drunk he couldn’t make it home. And who did he call to pick him up again? What was he, a taxi service? Next time he should just leave him in the gutter where he liked it. 

Angel came to and blinked before squinting up at him.

“Husky?”

“Yeah, it’s me again. Like the other three times you noticed.” 

Angel smiled but his eyes filled with tears. Oh, here we go again. 

“Oh, Husky, yer always there for me.” 

Husk shifted the bundle of limbs and Angel threw a few around his neck. His fingers slid through the fur on his face as he cupped his cheek. 

“Don’t know if it’s the giggle juice or if I’m just dizzy with ya.” He slapped his cheek lightly. “Ya Cassanova.”  

Husk gave him a tired look as he ran his fingers through the fur on his cheek, fluffing it back out.

“You drink yourself back to the 40s, kid?” 

“I dunno. Lemme check.” 

A devious look took over his face.

“See, we take the evidence and dump it on some poor schnook, maybe a sauced up anchor cranker, let em take the heat while we cheese it and hole up somewhere in the sticks until the black and whites clear out.” 

He paused then started laughing. 

“I still got it baby!” 

Despite himself, Husk couldn’t help but laugh along with him. 

“Thanks for that high speed chase down memory lane.”

Angel’s laughter died down and when Husk looked down at him he had such a look of admiration on his face.

“Yer so goddamn cute when you smile. I love it. You should smile all the time.”

“Tall order for Hell.” 

“I bet...I bet I could make ya smile fereva.” He gripped Husks’s shoulders, fingers curling in the fur as he pulled himself up towards his face. “Gimme one night, baby. You’ll think ya went to heaven.”

“You’re drunk, kid.” 

“Don’t mean it ain’t true. C’mon, Husky. Let’s stop playin’ this game. I like a good cat and mouse…” he snickered “good game of cat and mouse, but it’s gettin borin’ now. Just let me make ya smile. Let me love ya up so good you won’t be able to look at anotha lova without thinkin of me. Let me...let me…love ya.”

Husk had to stop as his voice sank. He seemed on the verge of crying,

“I know this old heart ain’t much, it’s all beat up and used, but I keep tryin’ to give it to ya. Just keep puttin the damn thing out there for ya. And it’s... it’s sittin there. You just let it sit there. I’d rather you knock it around, then at least it’d feel somethin’. I can’t….I can’t take it. I can’t…” 

Husk leaned down and Angel looked up into his eyes. His fingers slid through the fur on his neck as he leaned up to meet him halfway. And Husk kissed him, hard and passionate, tongues meeting, cheeks red, tears glistening on Angel’s cheeks. 

They both had to catch their breath when they finally parted.

“That enough for that old heart of yours?” Husk whispered. 

Angel smiled but soon dissolved into tears again.

“What now?!”

“I ain’t gonna remember this! I’m gonna forget our first kiss!”

Husk sighed. 

“I hate to break it to you, but that wasn’t the first one.”

The Fan’s Guide to the Altean Language

UPDATED FOR SEASON 8 - First Update for season 8 (Includes very very rough timeline!)

Thank you all for your overwhelming support. We have reached the end of Voltron. I plan on transferring this to AO3 at some point. Let me know if there is ore data you would like to see for that. For a more indepth guide to season 3, check out @butteredonions post here! (This post is not being updated. Please do not contact them about errors!)

New Updates? Perhaps for the comics. No promises.

Questions? Comments? Want to chat? Let me know! Due to the popularity of this post, I may not see commentary in the tags, so hit up my askbox, the messenger, or the comment feature on the post.

With the increase of alien characters in season 3, we are getting away from this being purely the Altean language. Unfortunately, there’s no real way of knowing what is and isn’t considered “altean”, so I’m just going to continue to use “Altean Language” as the tag.

Units of time (Confirmed with Official Guidebook!)

Quintant = 1 day

Deca-Phoeb = 1 year

Phoeb = 1 month

Dobosh = minute

Varga = hour

Tick = a tad longer than a second

movement = week

@saiikavon has pointed out that in S2E8, the Blades of Marmora base would be closed for 2 quintants. When they mention that 10 Vargas have passed, Lance correctly estimates another 30 Vargas until the base is open again. From this it can be assumed that 2 Quintants = 40 Vargas or 1 Quintant = 20 Vargas.

The dates on Matt’s tombstone are 0010-05-25 to 0014-04-28. This format may be the correct date format, as Pidge didn’t realize anything was off until she realized Matt’s b-day was wrong

Allura didn’t seem to know that Lotor was half Altean. Coupled with the memory scene with Haggar, it is implied that Lotor was born sometime after Haggar and Zarkon became corrupted.(confirmed S8) He is likely younger than Allura.

MSI GL65 9SC

View More High-end gaming laptops have all the bells and whistles, but truth be told, you don't need RGB keyboard lights to play or enjoy today's games. MSI's GL65 ($699 as tested) is a value-oriented gaming laptop that proves that in spades. This 15.6-inch rig's hardware for the money is as good as it gets in late 2019, including a 4GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU, a speedy Intel Core i5 quad-core processor, and a surprisingly roomy 512GB solid-state drive. The whole package is topped off by a bright full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) display, making the GL65 a stellar example of entry-level notebook gaming and our new Editors' Choice among bargain gaming laptops.

A Value-Packed Cranker

The GL65 is hardly the only 15.6-inch gamer to retail for under a grand with a quad-core CPU and a 4GB GeForce GTX 1650, but it's further under that mark than most. As a matter of fact, as I type this, the system I'm reviewing (model 9SC-004) is an unbeatable deal. A Lenovo Legion Y545 with comparable hardware rings up at $849 with only half the storage (256GB). The Dell G3 15 (3590) is in similar straits, costing $100 more than the MSI although that price buys you both a 128GB SSD and a 1TB hard drive. Another option is the Asus TUF Gaming FX505 series (a technology refresh of the TUF Gaming FX504G), but it's also more expensive when outfitted with a comparable AMD Ryzen 7 3750H processor.

Playdate December Update Discussess Development Progress, Dev Kit Details, and More

December 19, 2019 10:36 PM EST

Playdate developer Panic is hard at work getting their handheld console ready for a 2020 release.

If you don’t remember, Playdate is the upcoming handheld console from Panic, best known for publishing Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game. The handheld console features a striking design, a novel game release cycle, and a crank. That’s right, a crank. Panic recently put out a December update that details all the progress the team has made and where they’re planning to go from here. Fortunately, it seems to be all good news.

Hello, friends. An update on Playdate!!https://t.co/xeLhw8kP7E

— Playdate (@playdate) December 20, 2019

Production on the console is moving along as expected. The team has passed several hardware milestones and engineered a new crank to make sure it is up the task of the world’s strongest….crankers. I’m so sorry. Anyways, with production on schedule, Panic is announcing a new step in the production line: the Playdate Developer Preview. Essentially, the goal is to get Playdate in front of devs early so they can get cranking away on new games and the like. Soon, Panic will put these Developer Preview units up for sale, and prospective devs can enter into a lottery of sorts to randomly decide who gets a unit.

From there, each unit that ships will actually be a “dev kit” on its own. Anyone who wants to buy a Playdate can develop games for it. Panic also promises that even those of us without technical know-how will be able to create to our heart’s content. They’re not ready to reveal how, but details should emerge sometime next year. Along with these new updates is a confirmation that the Playdate is still on track to ship in 2020.

Potentially the best news is that, at least in the early days, the Playdate will never be “sold out”. Panic plans to take backorders and do constant production to ensure that everyone who wants a Playdate will get one. Stay with DualShockers to know exactly when sales go live.

I promised you some photos and commentary from my trip to Sarasota, and here it is. Finally.

The whole point of my visit, aside from spending time with my lovely, darling friend Sarah, was to start talking wedding with her and her gorgeous fiance, Jess. We checked out the venue, talked logistics, brainstormed and ate free fancy wedding caterer food. We also had some beers and hung out by the pool, but those activities weren’t necessarily wedding related; I really just needed to do it because it was snowing at home.

First stop: Manatee Village Historical Park

This place is so damn cool. It’s a whole little village of historic buildings. We have something like this near Rochester, Genesee Country Village & Museum, but it’s freaking huge and the buildings aren’t necessarily related to Rochester history.

General Store

Conductor Gentry

I think she’s losing

Ha, reefer

The “cranker” house

It poured. Forever. We got soaked.

Schoolhouse!

3 Keys Brewing

This is a cool place too; the food is bomb, the beer is cold and had it not been monsooning we could have hung on the awesome deck or played some outdoor games.

Motorworks Brewing

I visited Sarah a couple years ago and fell in love with this place. We were here while it was (still) pouring so we couldn’t go out to their amazing deck/outdoor area, but we didn’t mind hanging out drinking at the bar. It was my first full day and we were both on vacation so we were relaxing.

They also have cocktails!

Pool, palm trees, paradise

So… a bunch of random photos. The dog is Daphne Olivia, aka Daffers, aka Daffodil, aka Dill. I love her.

She’s too damn cute, I love her

I love the statues around St. Armands Circle in Sarasota

Daiquiris and nosy puppy

I took a bunch of other random photos but they’re not terribly entertaining.

I miss the sunshine. Daphne is already counting down the days until Auntie Teresa’s next visit.

#floridalife I promised you some photos and commentary from my trip to Sarasota, and here it is. Finally.

3 Bowling Techniques to create a Strike or Spare

bowling tips, bowling techniques, bowling technique, bowling rules, bowling score, background of bowling, bowling terms, bowling hook, spare bowling, bowling equipment, mental game of bowling, bowling glossary, selecting a bowling ball, bowling 4 step approach, bowling lane conditions, how to hook bowling ball, making spares, bowling spare systems, 369 spare system, 246 spare system, bowling adjustments Article Body: This is a strike, when each of the pins are knocked down "around the first ball of the frame." Every bowler wish to hit a strike and score big to win with this action, however it is not simply a stroke of luck. Bowlers who would like to allow it to be big by hitting strikes generally ought to just work at it. Such as any sport, great action is available in small packages, where attention is focused on the strategy learned and employed by that player. It is necessary for every single player to know how to hone their skills to win the game. So for many who wish to produce a strike or perhaps a spare to be able to win a match, listed here are three bowling techniques that they could use: 1. Spinner This technique signifies the method of delivering a try together with the intention that no more than a minor section of the ball touches contacts the lane. This technique promotes less friction between your ball and the lane, not considering the "oiling pattern" of that lane. As a result the ball glides practically inside a straight line across the lane. Experts contend, however, that this sort of shot is not really very successful for the reason that it can do not make an effort to take advantage of the dragging the power of the bowler. 2. Stroker With this kind of technique, the bowler relies much more about precision than strength. This procedure is characterized by employing the "by the book" kind of playing that entails the correct execution of even movements, keeping square shoulders towards the target all the way through the release in the ball, and maintaining an on-time move with the "foul line." This is basically the "classic" manner of most bowlers mainly because it employs smooth and controlled movements and lessens the possibility of injuries. 3. Cranker Here is the form of technique that may be being employed by a bowler who relies much more on his strength to deliver a great shot rather than accuracy. It is actually like 'hitting hard' each time a bowler uses this method. The skill involves more adrenaline that constitutes the bowler's drive to win. Usually, crankers use "late timing", they generally do not slide, attempt to access the "foul line" earlier than the ball, and they also bend their elbows to have their hands behind and beneath the ball. You can find no perfect techniques, but there is a selected technique for every player. The main thing is to make a strike or perhaps a spare.

Every bowler wish to hit a strike and score big to win using this type of action, yet it is not merely a stroke of luck. Bowlers who want to allow it to be big by hitting strikes most of the time need to work at it. As with any sport, great action will come in small packages, the location where the attention is focused on the strategies learned and made use of by that player. It is recommended for every player to realize how to hone his or her skills to win the overall game. So for people who wish to generate a strike or possibly a spare to be able to win a match, here are three bowling techniques that they may use: 1. Spinner This technique means the means of delivering a go with all the intention that no more than a minor section of the ball touches contacts the lane.

Cranker This is actually the form of technique that is certainly being hired by a bowler who relies much more on his strength to deliver a great shot rather than accuracy. It can be like 'hitting hard' every time a bowler uses this system. The skill involves more adrenaline that constitutes the bowler's drive to win. Usually, crankers use "late timing", they actually do not slide, attempt to reach the "foul line" earlier than the ball, and so they bend their elbows to keep their hands at the back and under the ball.
