I’m autistic and noise sensitive the sound of even a lubed bearing in the RBC makes me want to lay down on the ground and die on the spot or run screaming through a plate glass window. Same with most Ti yo-yos. Most dry bearings too honestly.
I’m glad I had the good sense to not watch this video of a dry bearing in one, it would probably destroy me for the day and I have work to do
My family is also autistic and so all unresponsives, Ti, or other noisy bearings are played in my office workshop alone with noise canceling headphones on.
You’re not alone, also a fan of the RBC scream.
But it’s a unique sound, not a fan of regular dry bearings, just specifically on the RBC, or the Flying Lemon. There’s something about them that’s different sounding.
The AL Freehand One has a nice hiss, also the Confusion. It’s not a hiss but I love the sound of Deep/Deeper States also with the dry bearing. I actually like the way many of my throws sound. @AudreySickburn I was going to invite you to try my Modded Responsive PIF but I think… maybe you would be driven to unspeakable torments by all the dry bearings in there.
I gotta say, not what I’d hoped for, and they don’t really work with the semi-transparent colors and rounded shapes of the Plasm. The one I expected to like the least, dark/purple, is actually the only one I kinda like, mostly because it’s subtle.
I sometimes like a little noise, but also a freshly lubed OD10b can be dead silent, and it’s super trippy, makes it hard to gauge speed sometimes! I love em tho
I have some with grease and some dry. It’s really always about getting the response I want, the sound or the lack there of is just a byproduct. I embrace it as part of each one’s character.
Now that’s all I can see when I look at it! I think the colorway is called “Scrubs” which is ironic because I wear green scrubs for work and sometimes they do get bloody
I’m home sick for the rest of the day, and don’t know too many modern responsive tricks, someone suggest something fun to learn on my Plasma, I already know trap stall and kinda makin da zines, what else ya got? Please and thanks!
(I’m probably just gonna fall asleep, but, ya know….)
