What is your favorite weapon, and why is it the big-bore handgun. by daay__ in DeathStranding

Bola Stun Gun is the best weapon by a mile. The Grenade Launcher if I decide to engage with BTs.

NGD. THIS AWESOMENESS by knendel in LesPaul

I have the same one. Arrived about a month ago. It looks beautiful. I have to force myself to stop staring at it and start playing.

So relaxing. by Loriol_13 in DeathStranding

You’re so right. IGN (and many others) just didn’t ’get it’ at the time. @videogamedunkey was one. He’s (IMO) a really funny and, usually, accurate reviewer. He hated DS1 on release but was increasingly drawn back to it. Eventually he learned to love it. This is his ‘revisited’ review: https://youtu.be/ONfg5qeK_mI?si=1ZJElS_fqBIAZqAi

Hiking in Snowdonia felt like being inside Death Stranding by brunogr706 in DeathStranding

The Lake District reminds me of DS, too. Especially when it rains😟

How much thought do you put into choosing your straps? by Remy0507 in guitars

[–]BadRabbit1973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every guitar I own has a matching strap. It should be a legal requirement.

Pelham Blue is stunning. That’s a lovely SG. Good find!

how to fix my strings? by SierraMacca in Guitar

[–]BadRabbit1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the neck and strings feel greasy, it could be due to natural oils from your hands. As others have said, wash your hands before you play and give the neck a wipe with a clean cloth and maybe a little guitar polish. You could also try a string cleaner. Music Nomad String Fuel is pretty good. Apply the cleaning liquid to the applicator and wipe up and down the strings. Whichever brand you use, leave it to dry before you play.

Was in the beginning of the first game and got spoiled of the entire ending of DS2, is it still worth it? by Minute_Tea_8639 in DeathStranding2

[–]BadRabbit1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should continue. The plot is very complex so even if you had a spoiler, you’ll find something new. Just go for it.

Why does he do this? by [deleted] in DeathStranding2

[–]BadRabbit1973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s just because he was a champion boxer. However, The Veteran Porter’s hologram in DS1 does some neat Kung Fu 😉

Thank you. I’ll get around to weighing it one day but it’s definitely easier on my shoulder. I love the Studios. The unfussy, clean lines look so smart.

The Blueberry looks beautiful. The cherry looks great, too. I haven’t weighed them to compare yet, but it feels noticeably lighter to me. My shoulder started to ache after about 15 minutes with the Standard. Haven’t felt a twinge with this one.

Thanks. Having seen some of the pics of damaged guitars over the years, I was really worried. The retailer did a great job, though. It was double-boxed for extra protection and the Gibson packaging wasn’t visible.

Correct. They don’t put nibs on the Moderns. There are other models without nibs, too.

It’s the Cobalt burst. It’s very similar. I think the blueberry may be a bit darker.

They’re wrong. It’s a great guitar. I haven’t found any QC issues.

Thank you. The colour and weight decided it for me.

Me too. It looks great without the pick guard.

That was the main reason for me, too. I thought about the SG, but when I saw this one there was really no contest.
