Worlds 2023 Thread!

Frekin Fire!!!

They’ve been mentioning string too for a lot a players, for those that may have been asking what string(s) to use in threads recently. If these guys and gals approve, you should too lol. Lotta Sochi, which is awesome that’s my main go-to even over Kitty FC, it’s just softer and more bouncy to me

Yeah it’s a real bummer. Being in EST I planned to watch it today instead of trying to pull an all-nighter. Hopefully they can get it back up somehow soon

Yeah but only some of the competitors string. Like I heard sochi string and C3 string and wood design io string but not like kitty ever (not a sponsor) and I’m fairly certain that it’s just the sponsors getting the shoutout.

Also, wood design io—I would love love love to try that tsukasa namba string bc I’m just so curious but literally every string they have on their site is sold out. D: nooooo

if you’re ever interested in how humanity’s understanding of the universe has evolved over time through theoretical physics, History of the Universe is one of the best channels ever. They present so much information at a level that the layperson (like me) can understand. they have a playlist that puts all the episodes in a sort of order that works, (29 episodes at 30-50 mins each), i’ve watched them all like 12 times lol. another great channel on astronomy and cosmology is SEA Space. I also love Anton Petrov for a pure review of recent astronomy/cosmology papers as opposed to documentary style stuff like HOTU and SEA are.

regardless of what we’re watching, at least we’re both into long form content! so much more enjoyable than short videos

There’s something oddly relaxing about stories of people accidentally poisoning themselves.

Trying to explain each division, string/yo-yos, name each competitor, scoring/judging, “why is this like that?” kinda questions from my gf. She’s been a frikin trooper though :skull:
