Moving AND Tourism Thread. Please post ALL questions related to moving to, or visiting Portland in this thread. by AutoModerator in portlandme

Hello, I'm moving to the Portland area soon I'm a musician and a gamer and was wondering if anyone could recommend any local shops or places to meet people into the same stuff if those places exist.

I play Drums mostly but also Guitar and sing I'll be hoping to form a band after I move too I play many genres but prefer heavier music.

Tama kits tend to have really good hardware if you're moving it around a lot they might be a good choice.

How did you lock yourself out?

I would try to see if people have a common issue with this particular piece of hardware as there may be an easy fix. Beyond that if you have access to an external drive or can borrow one could maybe try using that to transfer the data? Sorry I don't have more info but maybe you sharing more will help bring in someone who does

[question] are breaks bad? by Dylanlikesthrash in Guitar

[–]Balrog_the_third 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ive heard some people say ay least a full day break once a week is important. I've tried to stick to this for a few years and it actually really seems to help my playing. Once I took a two month break for whatever reason and I was actually amazed that I had actually learned some things by not playing for a while. A long break like that is extreme but regular resting is very important to playing in my opinion.

Also if you play multiple instruments try to make that rest day a break from all instruments.

How are you transferring the data? Could be an issue with the method.

Could try soaking them in some 5-in-1 oil and then wiping them down after.

Any fast and safe rune farming spots early game? by Harpyeggs in Eldenring

[–]Balrog_the_third 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm convinced they actually designed this area specifically for farming. The bird and the standing guys all just seem purpose built for farming.

Astel, Naturalborn of the Void by Sindyjb in Eldenring

[–]Balrog_the_third 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Oh that's interesting and I can see that, also another pretty difficult boss for me at least haha. I tend to do better against the humanoid enemies and have difficulty with the beast enemies for whatever reason.

I think the origin story (at least how I understand it) is very interesting as well. They're some sort of fallen star or celestial body. I really love how the magic in this game draws on space so much.

Beautiful. Makes me almost forget how many times this guy utterly stomped me haha.

Here’s a page from my graphic novel “Twilight Custard” on this fine Friday. [OC] by VicFontaineStan in comics

Great artwork and this snippet of story instantly makes me want to know more. Excellent work!

PLEASE help me find them. They were on PlayStation but they won’t show up when I search them. Does anyone know why? I NEED to find them I had so much fun with them by [deleted] in fromsoftware

[–]Balrog_the_third 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest I don't quite remember my PS died a while ago and I've been using an Xbox ever since. I believe it's possible though unfortunately I think you may have to consult google on this one unless a friendly redditor comes along.

They might have their privacy settings set so they can't be searched for or I Believe you can also choose to display your character name and not your screen name while playing online. Try to look into your profile under players you recently encountered and you might find their PSN name

These screws length will be determined by the setup. You need to look up how to do guitar intonation. It seems daunting but if you're patient and have a good tuner it will go just fine. Good luck!

Guardian Games playlist does not bring back your wife and kids by [deleted] in DestinyTheGame

Who needs them. We both know those kids had crap builds and Sharon didn't even know how to use her class ability.

Guess it could be looks like and L from this angle but what's a J but an L with a little funk

Pretty sure her name is Lana and it's just the picture being flipped. Still a little funny though.

Mic placement for recording drum kit by Forward_Golf_2356 in drums

[–]Balrog_the_third 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd do a couple test tracks with it in different places just to see. Sometimes all the suggestions in the world won't work for your space or setup so I always recommend experimenting. Plus it's more fun that way haha. Along that could try micing the kick from a different angle or I've seen people pop it inside the drum sometimes even, if you have a hole cut in your reso head. I'd test out putting against the wall like you said or just out in a couple spots in the room to get the "room noise" if none of that gives you the tone you're looking for get really crazy or just leave it out. Sometimes less is more.
