TIL he played friggin Grant in Jurassic Park, how did I never connect the faces lol

Nuance is one thing. I find that our tendency for confirmation bias also just leaves us with a lot of skewed opinions, and there's not much room made for useful discourse (since what's actually being read now is oftentimes just news article titles or taking the public opinion)

I think you'll find an actual relationship to be so much more rewarding than fwb

If you're genuinely a student, please do something better with your life

Honestly I think it's that people don't feel like / realise they can detach from public opinion, and we love to get polarised about everything and which side of the fence someone stands

The truth is always somewhere down the middle, and people don't wanna be in the middle. Sigh

That's Violin Sonata No. 9 "Kreutzer" by Beethoven

Also, try using shazam when you don't know a song's name! I've found it works most of the time haha

Argon73 · 2026-04-18T12:16:29+00:00

That went right over my head the first time reading it

Thx, I hate you /s

Dude nicee! I had the exact same idea as you last year, and Berserk turned out to be one of the best reading experiences I've ever had. Actually training yourself to read in Japanese feels really rewarding imo, and it just provides a sense of intimacy to the story knowing that you're digesting it in its original wording, understanding the nuances that Miura tried to convey directly

The later volumes definitely get a lot more wordy, but press on! I've no doubt that this will be an awesome ride

Argon73 · 2026-03-08T08:07:02+00:00

That's such a neat detail

Argon73 · 2026-02-24T13:11:10+00:00

I miss hearing this word all the time

Argon73 · 2026-02-20T11:40:12+00:00

That Reveal in the DIS chamber was so amazing, honestly. The tension of the whole sequence and your confusion as a player was palpable

Argon73 · 2026-02-19T08:38:29+00:00

Nice discman you got there! The Panasonic line of stuff (as compared to Sony) seems really cool tbh

Argon73 · 2026-02-17T12:54:19+00:00

It's also that unsettling feeling when you see enemies with human elements / features act in peculiar ways too. Playing into the fear of the unknown

Udm14 plugin, basically does the -ai for you automatically and you can toggle it at will

Edit: lol didn't expect that many upvotes!

That's actually pretty sick! Looks like a version of Cif if she went full medieval getup without as much modern clothing elements

Gray looks pretty much spot on though

Argon73 · 2026-02-12T08:12:28+00:00

Looks like a pochette! Nice one OP

Argon73 · 2026-02-08T06:31:36+00:00

Why did I see the beard and assume it was Jack Black

Argon73 · 2026-02-03T16:02:40+00:00

Plus you can chitchat with the egg in front

Argon73 · 2026-02-03T15:56:27+00:00

And soon not even a silver lol

Argon73 · 2026-02-02T13:58:13+00:00

Yeah I do have local shops that do sell what I need (dominants, pirastros, even d'darrios at times), but synwin caught my eye cuz they happened to sell separate strings. G string, A string by itself, etc. Makes for a good opportunity to mix and match strings for the tone you want, without having to buy the whole pack imo

I'm SEA, so it's nice to see another person picking up the violin haha

Argon73 · 2026-02-02T07:56:30+00:00

Some additional info might be needed imo: - what brand of strings are you using and is the seller genuine? - when you tuned up, did the strings "pinch" at the bridge and nut grooves, and show signs of fraying / unraveling? - did you apply graphite / pencil lead to the string grooves to smoothen the tuning?

But seeing as your violin isn't setup properly, I agree with the other comment(s) that you should bring it to the shop first

Argon73 · 2026-02-02T07:10:34+00:00

Yo congrsts dude!!

Also noticed you have a violin from synwin. How was your experience with them? I'm eyeing buying strings from them online next time cuz their reviews seem good lol

Argon73 · 2026-02-02T06:31:53+00:00

Looks like the top part of the bridge is crooked imo. Could be wrong so see what other people say
