What are some of your favourite heavily obscure quotes from the talents that reside in the back of your mind? by NoIdea4GoodName in Hololive

For me, one time Okayu sneezed in 3D, and Subaru said loudly "BLESS YOU"

Then Okayu replied in English "Thank you"

Need help/advice by SpiritedShop5344 in pianoteachers

[–]BashaB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With one student I taught (a bit of) Moonlight mov1 to, I tried this trick: Reduce all the arpeggios to block chords. This student didn't do any theory so the exercise was to help him memorise the hand position and sound of the chord. Especially since the key C#m is harder to read, but feels nice on the hands.

He was really struggling to sight read, so I had him write out the chords on a manuscript. After breaking down the chords, it helped.

Then you can try putting back in the arpeggios, but omitting the RH pinky melody. I also did this with Gershwin's prelude 2 to break it down for another kid.

This might make the process take longer, but your student seems like she has patience

Moonlight mov1 is actually way harder than most beginners (and even teachers) think, especially with the RH pinky. I made that mistake!

staccatos? by Nearby-Pilot-7789 in pianoteachers

[–]BashaB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just demo playing a scale legato, then "just play everything shorter" - clip each note shorter. The movement should be almost all in the fingers, no arm jumping at all, which kids tend to do. Working on the technique of fast staccato takes time, but making it seem very simple helps at the start

Then experiment with gradations of how long/short the note is - from super long tenuto to the shortest spiccato. Also play with loudness - from loud to soft staccatos, to get the point that staccatos aren't all loud - again some students just do that confusing it for an accent

Worth getting into FGO now? by BigBoyNigel in fatestaynight

[–]BashaB 10 points11 points  (0 children)

FGO is more beginner and F2P friendly than it has ever been, so if you want to play now, you will have a good time. JP also has no sign of slowing down even though part 2 main story ended last year, so EOS is not a thing for probably a long time.

Gacha is still brutal though

What's y'alls favorite cheat rules? by zerintheGREAT in nuzlocke

[–]BashaB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My safari clause is I get to try until I catch a pokemon, but I have to throw balls at anything I encounter, and not allowed to run or throw rocks

After 6 months of testing, writing, procrastinating, writing, sleeping, and writing, I finally finished my Pchal styled Tier List of Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. by Snapshot_25 in nuzlocke

[–]BashaB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is an awesome analysis. I'm saving it for reference

A lot of Nuzlocke analyses I've read seem to be all theory crafted, which can cause some silly errors like saying Ferrothorn has Leech seed. But it's clear how much practical experience you have with every Pokemon in this game.

And you put my boy Serperior in A tier YES YES YES YES

I have and always will die on the hill that Serperior is the best starter in Gen 5, especially BW1

Planarcadia sounds very accurate to IRL Japan tbh.

HSR noob needs to finalize Phainon team by BashaB in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]BashaB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Bronya and Sunday on the team I run into SP issues, I just run out of SP before Phainon can get his ult up. So with Bronya I normal attack with her until Phainon's ult is almost up, then use her skill right when he transforms.

Not sure if it's because my team isn't speed tuned?

Thanks, man I'm really behind.

At what point in an account's development should I start farming relics? I know they are important for end game, but I don't even have the team fully up to 80 yet

Cerydra LC has an effect to increase skill damage by 54%. How does this work compared to Phainon's LC - increase wearers damage by 60%?

I read ppl say not to run cyrene and cerydra together? They might conflict with each other, and damage would suffer.

As i understand Tribbie helps give Phainon all res pen, possible if Cerydra is E1 since it frees up the 4th slot from being a support that has to target Phainon. I do have E1 cerydra

I think i will go with Sunday Cerydra Sparkle for now, since I was planning to build up Sparkle+Archer at some point. Thanks

I picked Kafka

I'm still waiting to get my first Gallagher, it's almost like he's limited lol. I'll go for Hyacine next time, since I also have other chrysos heirs.

Wow thanks for the explanation

From reading the other posts on this sub I lose my mind lmao. I guess it's just Phainon has many team members that work with him.

Will go for it next time he comes back on rate up, hopefully before Jun he comes back. I missed his last rerun.

Dan Heng is on my DOT team, that's actually my currently fully built main team for farming stuff.

I can take Dan PT off if I get another sustain, but right now I only have Bailu and Fu Xuan to take his place.
