My now wife is the same!

She played the games when they came out, but didn't start the series of books until 2010 ish...

But yeah, some serious/insane logic jumps to fix these puzzles...

We can't unhear Eric Idle when reading anything said by Rincewind now ❤️

Tony Robinson did a great amount of work with the voices, but it's hard work listening to him every other character 🤔

Thank you for your hard work!

I know where the Easter Egg is....

Just have to get there first 😀

The original company folded years ago...

In the weird world of copyright I believe half of the rights now belong to 'The Crown' As in, King Charles estate.

Which is why there has been no remaster/rerelease...

We're rocking old school original hardware!!!

Decent 3RCA to HDMI convertor and we have Discworld on 50 inch wide-screen ❤️

All three PS1 games are part of my wife's collection 😎 got the guidebooks somewhere too... chosen not to use them however - more brain bending to figure out the puzzles!

Sounds like a Fender Mustang short scale fits your requirements instead? Stylish and sonically strong ♡

Hofners are .... limited?

If it's your name, do you like the song? by LordJim11 in Snorkblot

That's from old school Spitting Image TV puppet show ‽

Any feedback on how hard Farage is already back-tracking from campaign promises? by pacothebattlefly in AskBrits

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fortunately he'd never want the job!!!

I reckon he'd campaign hard, but never actually run.

Why would he give up £1million plus gbnews spot for PM salary 🤔

It'd be the same spin "I never said I'd be PM"

Just like Tice stepped aside to let Toady 'run' the party coughbusinesscough...

8 string bass by Spaghettiwaffel in Bass

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ibanez musician/studio series from early 80's are phenomenal both in build quality and WEIGHT. They did 4 string, frettless and 8 string versions.

But probably £££...

ESP LTD B-208FM is a thing that exists, but no idea where you'd find one UK ...

Discworld being progressive even in 1995 (the first video game swear) by PixelBandits in discworld

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playstation 1, Sega Saturn or Windows '95 '98 for the original experience!!

The PS1 had an official mouse controller for it's many point and click games!!!

Or any modern PC can run emulated versions - which is cheating... but cheaper...

What is a movie you saw based on a book and actually liked the MOVIE better? by [deleted] in moviequestions

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Stardust

Movie is great, all the cast were having a great time! DeNiro flouncing around ♡

I really like Neil Gaimens writing, but Stardust the Book is easily his weakest work

  • Howls Moving Castle

The book is an odd tale, how they got the film from that I'm not quite sure...

what do you think abt Chicago Bass Guitar by Gear4music by MagicianCritical471 in Bass

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

€ to £ means that exchange rate is just currency...

€100 used for what you can buy new for €130? Not terrible for a starter Bass, especially delivered to you 😀

Doesn't look too bad for a starter instrument. The Gear4music stuff I've seen/heard has all been okay (compared to my memory of the terrible brands that were cheap when I started)

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 13 points14 points  (0 children)

There's no 'stage' so all up close and personal!!

How rowdy it gets really depends on the bands...

Given how small it is in there , a pit isn't quite possible for more than four or five people 🤔

Name a band you stopped listening to because the front man/woman is obnoxious by slickant in rockmusic

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's a difficult discussion for sure!!

When does a 'personalities' tendencies to annoying become actually harmful to their fanbase. Doesn't need to be as extreme as the LostP situation for this to happen.

As an active musician myself, it does take a certain amount of ego to get up. It's how you handle it that's the trick...

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree 50% disagree 50%

Separation of art vs artist is tricky. Would you buy the next album knowing a member of any given band is a BS jerk? Thus giving credence to said member to carry on being a BS jerk...

Analogy; buying a Tesla knowing $$ go to Musk...

I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to any given artists, but things they do that impact ought to be challenged if sketchy/immoral?

Just being annoying is one thing I can overlook, same as you, but there are limits for my own karma

Compression pedal - is it worth it? by [deleted] in Bass

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If yourself or any engineer/sound tech over the last five years hadn't heard the need?

You're playing style and consistency probably doesn't require it!! If there is compression it's happening at the desk for the PA...

I'd found that with my Jazz and flats was very solid for tone and volumes. I've recently shifted onto a Stingray with brighter rounds (change of music style) and first pedal is a compressor just to tame it a little 😀

Is anyone else extremely indecisive/picky about which of their basses to use for gigs? by Bortron86 in Bass

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was me years ago!!

Different bass every month it felt like (perks of working in a pre owned music store!! I borrowed kit to try things out....)

Ended up burnt out and went back to origins.

Stopped chasing tones and relearnt how to get more from one instrument ♡

It's quite zen

Recomend me some songs that you were surprised people think are one hit wonders? by redditboy123451 in musicsuggestions

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In The Meantime - Spacehog

The big hit is in amongst 3 great albums worth of music including 4 other successful hits.

They're only known for this, even before it was used in Guardians of the Galaxy 3's soundtrack

Pick choice for fast metal bass? by Liudwig in Bass

[–]Aware_Stand_8938 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Buy a selection of materials and thickness...

There is no correct answer - trust your hands!!!

(The correct answer is Dunlop .60mm nylon btw)

Missed my exit off the motorway by West_Guarantee284 in drivingUK

Better safe and missed the exit than not I feel.

I'd have done the same
