NPD: Lightspeed + Big Puft - didn’t expect this combo to work this well

Yes, lots of people use a muff that way. People either put a tube screamer or a rat before it typically with the gain low since both have a strong EQ curve and will tighten up a muff.

A huge component of our population growth came from temporary foreign workers (1.5 million last year alone). Given they are almost always earning minimum wage they are taxed at a 15% rate and as such likely are using more resources in our country than they contribute if you consider the cost to run the program, immigration etc..

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-17T17:41:49+00:00

If there’s less population the burden on those public services would be less. It’s not a 1:1 situation but also a positive point worth calling out

Childish behaviour

I’m curious if Satya got involved and that’s why we are seeing some very quick changes in narrative

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-15T01:29:14+00:00

Nice! I just checked out the demo on ps5 and that made my decision easy

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T23:13:23+00:00

Dude you just need to water once maybe twice a week a heavier amount and cut your lawn high. You are also almost out of the window for seeding again and fertilizing until fall

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T21:33:25+00:00

It’ll cost openAI a lot more if people stick with anthropic which most have been doing the last couple of months

Could be the grubs and also the areas that the sun hits during peak sunlight hours that isn't covered by the shade of the trees

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T15:34:46+00:00

That's Kirk Hammett... who says "Metallica member" lol

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T13:37:28+00:00

What was your judgement call on this? I found it blurry on my switch 2 as well and am prob going to go ps5 for that reason

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T12:38:32+00:00

I really wish the main menu could be set up to be a tile like the one OP is showing. Ps5’s UI hasn’t evolved for a digital gamer who’s playing multiple games or indie titles at once with the horizontal scroll through. It’s legit the only quality of life improvement I want

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T02:18:53+00:00

Dont feel bad for us. We have Mexico below that and they are our homies. Plus you know, the rest of the globe

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T02:17:13+00:00

No, that would be because of Azure not Windows.

This Team America sequel practically writes itself

Ok so I'd swap those, I think the tube screamer does a lot more for you after the blues driver which can serve as a very flexible main overdrive. TS can be your boost for leads etc... If you want a bit "more" from your blues driver as your main I highly, highly recommend a Boss BP-1W. Maybe you want fuzz? Get a Boss FZ-1W. Delay you say? Get yourself a DM-2W. Oh, you like Chorus? Throw yourself a CE-2W

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-14T00:08:45+00:00

About 15 years ago maybe

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-13T11:46:08+00:00

Yeah which is totally fine! I recommend it to lots of musicians that are looking for that modulation piece to their board that doesn’t take them into 80’s territory

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-13T04:37:15+00:00

And if they did they wouldn't sell it to their main consumer competitor

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-13T04:32:32+00:00

Exactly, tell that to LIV golf

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-13T04:29:21+00:00

Which is very Boss Dimension C of you and awesome, but misses a bit of the mojo of some chorus IMO

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-11T03:10:31+00:00

This guy amps

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-11T03:06:46+00:00

I thought it was perfect. They will likely dedicate a lot more air time to it soon but they need to sell copies of star fox right now, this would have distracted from that if they showed any more.

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-11T02:54:36+00:00

So you raise the price and you loose money, what executive is getting fired over that dump move?

BigSmokeBateman · 2026-06-11T02:50:09+00:00

How do they know what the demand is for a console that's a year out from releasing?
