I've bowled three perfect games with one of those during a leage. My average is 204. Series average is 616. That was the last leage I was in. I just can't put the time into it anymore these days. Also I have to learn how to bowl all over again because I f***d up my wrist and had to have it fixed. I just can't get the spin action I used too with my wrist. I had one wicked curve that had 21 or so MPH speed on it and this was with an 18 pound ball as well. Those were the days when I was young. That was when I was stupid and thought I was superman and fell back down to earth very quickly....Ehhhh.

Didn't know you guys kind of like bowling. I play duckpins (small pins with rubber strap around, is it right ?) once a week on sunday since last year. Last time I played in a league was when I was 10 years old on sunday morning. Average now is 190 and last sunday I just rolled a perfect game (300). Quite a thrill. Wish it could happen to anyone who bowls.

Average 204 *3 (number of games in a series) = 612 !=616. Also the heaviest ball that you can use is a 16 pound ball (I'm assuming you are in the US). However the messing up you're wrist I know what you mean. I fractured my thumb in October and I can't bowl again until next season after I get the pins out in a month. Before that though I was averaging 192. To the couple of guys that are looking to join adult leagues its fun but it is more expensive.

Your average for duckpings is a 190? and you bowled a 300?

Yes and I hope I will do that again. I could hardly believe it myself, but I did.

But look at it this way, last game scores were 200, 160, 300 for triple of 660. Divided by 3 makes 220.

Another time 221, 179, 207 adds to 607, divide by 3 makes 202. That is the problem with my average,

I'm not bowling as you can say "constant". Not to mention that I was playing with a new set of balls that suits me better.

They are EPCO Viper II, 5", 3.12. I like them better than the ones I had before.

    • Nobody is buying a PS5 only for playing Until Dawn 2. Their loss.
    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
