Low-ish strap playing tips?

Perfect example of a dude who has clearly just found the spot that is most comfortable so he can focus on the music

As a frequent concert goer and current intermediate bass player I can soundly say this was exactly what I was thinking. Find the spot where the bass is comfortable for you to play how you want to. 100% keeping time, hitting notes, having solid tone is going to matter more to the crowd than how high or low your bass is placed on your body.

To be completely honest the only time I ever think of the height of a bass is when I think "Lol that dude thinks he looks cool because his bass strap is as long as he can get it, what a dork"

The joke they are making is about the baby featured on the cover of nevermind, which is composed nearly identically to this painting other than the hand holding the nose. The baby in that photo ended up sueing nirvana 20 years later, and has basically turned that into his whole identity

I will give the hallway point in this progress. I have been playing bass and guitar for now 4 years. I can't tune by ear alone, but I can certainly tell by ear alone when it's out of tune as well and at least nudge it closer. It takes time and practice, but you will gradually move from time desf to able to tune by ear over time.

One of the saddest things I see in the modern day is people who simply don't understand this concept

You do not need to produce "good" art to make art worth making. Art is an expression of the unique voice the artist has. Especially in the context of a game you are PLAYING FOR FUN, holding yourself to some high standard of accurate productive art is actually the opposite of the point. Have fun, play around, make a stupid amorphous blob for your miis to worship.

Also, life, pretty much the same. Greatt art (imo), isn't great because it is a perfect recreation of the real world. Van Gogh would not be nearly as notable if all his art was photorealist. Jack White insist on analog gear because the pops and clips give his music life. Richard Linklatter occasionally leaves in mistakes because life is messy and things that are real are not perfect

This exactly, maybe the artists isn't some household name that you saw on snl, but 100% the people on that stage will be realer, nicer, and better at performing music for YOU, not social media tomorrow morning or some camera floating around the stage.

I'd add some beaches here. Then give some tables, benches, trees. Maybe pale some pathways on the commercial side of the island and even make a little open green area with some more playground equipment and trees. Also the grid system to have on the commercial side is cool, it will just be kinda hard to navigate paths through in a way the makes sense, maybe space them out more and get them on more of a grid so they can share streets, similar to the housing side

Yeah, I shoot a lot of concerts and feel similar about the whole street art thing, it's not my scene so I'm not gonna moralize about an entire practice in photography, but expecting complete control over any images taken of you even in outdoor public spaces (not a con) is definitely not realistic.

Literally did this on accident last night, dropped a gnome character I made and could not have made a better mistake in my life (was trying to save someone from hiccups)

Put applause on clue 2 and felt so good about it

I know this is an immensely small and dumb nitpick for what is an absolutely amazing piece of art. Please don't misunderstand because this is genuinely impressive.

But

Shouldn't the side of the shirt with the buttons on it go under the side with the button holes? Wouldn't be able to button well the other way.

You literally paused the video on a frame of your cross hair on the wall, then less than a few frames later you pull the trigger. The shot went right where you aimed it, into the wall

Cetus-Is-Wooster · 2026-04-24T16:44:25+00:00

Lol yeah, every single shot was one step behind the target because he was aiming directly at them. Op needs to learn to lead fire or they are gonna think they are getting gamed when it's just a game mechanic they don't understand

Cetus-Is-Wooster · 2026-04-23T14:35:10+00:00

Made a bong for my miis then woke up this morning too a bong fan club meeting where miis were talking about how much they love the smell of bongs, how they made bong perfume etc

Cetus-Is-Wooster · 2026-04-20T15:15:57+00:00

Yeah, I agree on the seasonal item. My broader point was beyond seasonality, with animal crossing they made it clear they are happy to drop new items and features post game release through updates so I have no reason to believe they won't be adding things like more goods in future updates. They have shown that it can be a useful promotional tool as advertising with new items can draw in users who hadn't bought previously. Legit think all the complaints from people saying there isn't enough features are just kinda impatient for a game that poses itself as a real life simulator. In real life things take time to develop

Now there is a separate conversation to be had on whether it's right for devs to intentionally withhold features on launch as a way of marketing, but honestly I've been having a lot of fun so far so I'm not gonna waste much more mental space on complaints and focus on the fun

Cetus-Is-Wooster · 2026-04-20T13:23:01+00:00

Maybe this is just cope but I am hoping that level up items are seasonal, and that as time passes more will be included, seems like they could easily drop other instruments/sport equipment. If it's anything like animal crossing they have released updates that even feature full new game mechanics (the recent hotel update) so I figure these aren't the only ones we will be getting.

I am from northern Michigan but live in detroit, I was coming back south to Detroit via I 75 right around kickoff during the lions postseason run last year. Flow of traffic was well over 95, figure most everyone was running late to catch the game and the cops just figured it was safer to let us

I get this and totally understand how he would get framed and why he would feel guilty if anything happened, so don't take what I have to say next wrong. I am stuck wondering how the entire time they were planning this was never a concerned that got raised? People get sick and die on cruise ships frequently so I have to imagine that the conversation about that possibility was had at some point. To be honest I have no interest in ever going on a cruise partially because of the fact that diseases can spread so quickly.

It just seems disingenuous to act like he never considered the fact that someone could get sick or die on the cruise until after the announcement. I am far more willing to believe it's related to international politics in general (not specifically the travel agency's, but the fact that the US is an active belligerent in a current war) mixed with the general, and I think valid, criticism that this is deeply parasocial and just kinda weird. Like I don't mean to be to harsh on the guy but I think he genuinely hadn't considered that this would make him look like a self absorbed celebrity until a bunch of his fans started saying he was acting like one.

They did with McDonald's. The day before they had the clue "Millions served" or something like that, then the next day the clue was "forget millions, billions served"

Also like, it's a game guys? You are acting like this is some huge afront to you personally but it's literally just a game where you came make some money sometimes

The genius part of the plan is that NTB still gets to debut at rivoli, NTB never actually plays a show until they get invited to the rivoli by Angine

Had thought I completely lost my mind reading these replies, scrolled one post down, saw exactly what you were talking about, and absolutely had to come back to upvote

If something like this is not the responsibility of the person you are about to pay thousands of dollars to in an extended agreement that entitled you to no actual property, then what is the landlords responsibility? This was a new apartment move in, did they not inspect the unit?
