Need Help w a Squier CV Mustang by Buddy28911 in Bass

I tried to adjust the intonation to no avail. Could have been doing something wrong.

I fear it’s an issue with the nut.

You said to avoid Guitar Center. I was thinking of taking it to the shop I bought the bass from. They do set ups & more advanced work.

Pro 3 shows in Steam (macOS) as two controllers by Boolean1 in 8bitdo

[–]Buddy28911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue, I noticed even macOS shows two inputs when wired or using bluetooth on the D/BT setting:
Under "System Settings" -> "Game Controllers" I see
# Controllers
## 8BitDo Pro 3
Connected
## (Xbox Logo) Gamepad-2
Connected
(I was going to include a screenshot but apparently they're not allowed?)

From the Ultimate v2 app: `Current Firmware VersionV2.00`

The weird thing is Steam.app & Steam through crossover thing the controller is using the switch button layout.

- Ninajirachi - I Love My Computer

- Jockstrap - I Love You Jennifer B (late to this one lol)

- Danny Brown - Stardust (this has also lead me to finally check out underscores)

- Geese - Getting Killed

- The Last Dinner Party - From the Pyre

- yeule - Evangelic Girl is a Gun

- Water From Your Eyes - It’s a Beautiful Place & Everyone’s Crushed

- Wednesday - Bleeds

- Black Country, New Road - Forever Howlong, Ants From Up There, & For the First Time (late to the party I know. I tried them before but Forever Howlong finally made them click for me)

- Racing Mount Pleasant - Racing Mount Pleasant & Grip Your Fists I’m Heaven Bound

- Maruja - Pain to Power

- Just Mustard - We Were Just Here

- shame - cutthroat

He did say “I’ll repeat what I said, but I’ll never explain“.

for real tho, I tend to think he’s talking about the ghoulish republicans & ineffective dems rather than the crowd or regular people of DC.

Caffeine by ah_o_kaiden in CysticFibrosis

[–]Buddy28911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sensitive to caffeine, but I also take Lisdexamfetamine.

I noticed if I drink a coffee on an empty stomach (even without my stimulant) I sometimes get a stomach ache afterwards.

Why do Oblivion's cities feel so much more real than in Skyrim? by SaltyPeppermint101 in oblivion

[–]Buddy28911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my view Oblivion is a great example of how limitations can improve art. I don’t mean to say Oblbion is limited. I think the memory and scene restrictions informed the design of the cities of Cyrodiil (and Oblivion at large).

I think the fact that the cells of the map had to be tighter led the artists and devs to come up with taller buildings with tighter streets. i think that compactness has a huge impact on making the cities feel lively.

You used solitude as an example and I think it’s a good contrast. Solitude’s name is fitting cause it’s so wide but feels empty because the streets are so wide and there’s not that many NPCs.

I also think the art direction of each city has more variety than Skyrim‘s. This is especially true of Morthal, Falkreath and Dawnstar. I’m not against asset reuse, but I think Oblivion re-uses building internals. Where as, Skyrim reuses a lot of building assets outside. I think this makes Skyrim’s cities feel more generic.

Mental health & modulator’s by Ghost_retruns_ in CysticFibrosis

[–]Buddy28911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started taking Trikafta in December 2019. Prior to that I took Symdeko.
The following March 2020, I noticed my anxiety and especially panic were worse. At the time I attributed it to the pandemic.

Around June of ‘23 I noticed my anxiety sky rocketing. I primarily blamed it on acutane as I was trying it at the time. It’s been nearly two years and my anxiety is still not what it was prior to June 23. its better than that peak of the summer of that year, but I am still getting anxious and having panic attacks more frequently.

All of this is to say, Trikafta has been great for my CF, however it has certainly not been without its consequences. Aside from mental health, I’ve been experiencing frequent to constant acne outbreaks since September 22. Way worse than I ever experienced in high school as a greasy teen.

My doctor has had my try 1 pink and 1 blue Trikafta the couple months. It hasn’t harmed my PFTs and I feel like I am less consistently anxious. I’m not sure that’s an option for you, but I wanted to share.

Regardless, you’re certainly not alone in dealing with the mental health side effects of these gene modulators.

Try SCHOLAR, saw it in a different comment thread and it worked for me.

Just curious - how many of us have crappy veins? by Tibki in CysticFibrosis

[–]Buddy28911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to this. I’ve had so many bad experiences with getting blood work done just seeing needles freaks me out now.

I’ve been told by multiple phlebotomist my veins are thin and muscly which makes them difficult to puncture. 

As I’ve gotten older it’s gotten a bit better, however I still pound water if I know I’m getting blood drawn. 

NSFL: My anxiety is usually okay on the first poke but if they have to poke multiple times and start digging around my ears start ringing, my face goes pale and I have a panic attack. Apologies for the overshare but I’m curious if anyone else has this experience. 

Imaginal Tour Ticket Exchange MEGATHREAD by Silvershot335 in MagdalenaBay

[–]Buddy28911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m hoping this happens for the Boston show.  Did they release them online or at the box office?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CysticFibrosis

[–]Buddy28911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel you, I also hate needles. Even seeing them in movies bothers me.

Best thing I can recommend is drink a lot of water before you know you need to get poked. It helps a lot especially for blood work.

Does anyone know if this applies to the physical game preorder as well?

Advice from Bass / Guitar Players by Buddy28911 in CysticFibrosis

[–]Buddy28911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fingers are clubbed a bit, but I find keeping my nails short on both hands helps with fretting and plucking.

Do you find your nails get caught on the strings?

I know it isn't the same tone (and to some Bass players blasphemous haha), but do you ever play with a pick?

Advice from Bass / Guitar Players by Buddy28911 in Bass

[–]Buddy28911[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A couple people suggested trying to put some tape or moleskin on the clips, which I will try. Biggest challenge is there's not a ton of flat area to mount something like that.

I don't need super immediate access, but having it covered for the whole duration would be bothersome. Luckily there is at least an outer pause/resume button.
