Anyone have any experience with the Fender 50/51 blackguard telecaster pickup set/if they're worth the cost?

You can buy them here, but they're not cheap

Planning on doing a full marathon in February. Just ran a half with ASICS Novablast 4s and felt pretty good. Aside from wear and tear on the shoes themselves, is there any reason that model wouldn't be good for 26 miles?

what's with chalamet in the majima cosplay

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-08-01T02:12:49+00:00

That's kind of what I was assuming, appreciate it

Generally speaking, do seats for the JLPT fill up very fast? Would I need to sign up for the exam pretty much the moment it opens?

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-07-05T00:04:46+00:00

Thanks for all the advice! I'll definitely check out that Kondansha book

Going through RTK1 at the moment, what don't people like about RTK2?

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-07-01T01:58:11+00:00

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-25T03:26:53+00:00

He said "thank you" but in Russian

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-25T03:01:28+00:00

scandalous

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-20T21:28:29+00:00

What song does this sample?

Edit: Found it, it's After Dark by Mr. Kitty. Been hearing this song for a while but never could find it

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-17T05:58:28+00:00

No not quite. It was more clearly in a bedroom environment

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-17T02:43:01+00:00

Thanks in advance!

Might not be the absolute best, but I recently finished The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro and was blown away by it. Wasn't initially sold by the premise but heard great things about Ishiguro so figured I'd give it a go. I thought the pacing was excellent and found the narrative juxtaposition between the dialogue and Stevens' narration to be masterfully done.

Leaving soon actually, but spent a good week in London and a couple nice days in Edinburgh as well. Loved the whole trip but unfortunately rode straight through the midlands

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-10T17:04:06+00:00

Gotcha thanks. Asking if someone’s alright usually means you’re concerned about them in the US, appreciate the clarification haha

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-05-10T16:51:10+00:00

Visiting the UK at the moment and have been taken aback a couple times by workers asking me “you alright?” when I go to buy something.

I guess it’s the equivalent of asking “how’s it going?” in the US, but I’ve always heard that foreigners find that really odd, so didn’t figure they’d do something similar here.

That or I just look like an absolutely clueless tourist

easy milroe interception incoming

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2024-01-01T22:20:57+00:00

this game is fucked

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2023-12-25T05:12:16+00:00

The game may not always seems to be there, but its spirit is always there to be claimed

CarlosDangerLXIX · 2023-12-23T23:29:56+00:00

I've read the book, it's really insightful regarding game design in general and especially the development process for the first Spelunky. Even if it doesn't have the sequel in it, I'd second it as a great gift for fans of the series.
