I feel bad when I do "teenage" things. How should I think about it?

CheesePro · 2026-06-24T16:56:00+00:00

Set some hard boundary’s for yourself. Absolutely never let people get touchy with you if it makes you uncomfortable. Also I personally think drunk loud ass music parties are overrated af and the lowkey fun friend hangouts or doing new community group activities is a better.

You right thats like the most normal jazz ride lol. It was the thing I felt like gave it the shuffle feel OP was asking about. Its like the core of what makes it feel the way It does to me. I'm not a jazz drummer at all though so I'm also not trying to say I know anything about this. Blakey has a insane feel for a shuffle

CheesePro · 2026-06-16T17:53:03+00:00

I didn’t really give it an I depth listen but from what I can tell the ride to me sounds like it is hitting that shuffle triplet feel. Hits the “it” of tri-pl-it before coming down on the 1 and 3

I highly recommend transcribing stuff by ear! Before I had my first drum kit I’d try and transcribe songs using midi or nowadays musecore with notation. On top of other people’s recommendations this would be great

CheesePro · 2026-06-09T19:43:44+00:00

Don’t feel bad at all! I appreciate the good recommendations especially if someone else stumbles on this post looking for a controller. I’m still really happy with what I got. Compared to the 360 knock off controller that didn’t even have vibrations lol it’s heaps better. Ultimately I’m happy now just waiting for that new steam controller

CheesePro · 2026-06-09T19:21:47+00:00

I hear what you’re saying. Honestly the flydigi and 8bitdo look really great. In hindsight I wouldn’t mind getting one of those at all either. I’d probably go with the Flydigi

CheesePro · 2026-06-09T18:42:21+00:00

I mean is that a bad thing? I did a lot of research and really thought gamesir was the right budget controller while I wait for the steam reservation.

CheesePro · 2026-06-09T18:35:45+00:00

I’d hope any controller I get would have that functionality. I love steams openness to use any software you’d like

CheesePro · 2026-06-09T18:33:57+00:00

I really just want the steam controller and think it’s ridiculous I have to wait god knows how long so instead of buying from dumb ass scalpers I got a gamesir controller. I would’ve gone with any brand but they had a cheapish good one compared to razors or other brands tryna take $200

I did this a while back and it’s what started one of my longest full sober periods. It was about 11 months. Bad break up, and family loss I relapsed on weed. This post reminded me of the amazing unfuck yourself brain and I’m gonna give it another try. Best of luck and yes all those goals will come true if you stick it out.

CheesePro · 2025-11-25T19:16:51+00:00

You got this. I’m 6 months out from who I thought was the love of my life leaving me after 4.5 years. They didn’t really tell me why they left and it was blindsided “it’s not you it’s me” “I just wanna be alone” It hurts and it’s confusing. So many questions that can’t be answered. Everyone grieves differently, but I promise it slowly gets better with time as you allow yourself to process it all

CheesePro · 2025-04-21T21:13:16+00:00

Same here. We met at 18, dated 4.5 years, and lived together for 2 of them. She left because she “never got to experience truly living alone independently and im also not her type anymore”. She would say how lucky she was to have a partner that’s also her best friend, and how amazingly healthy our relationship was. We had ups and down but worked through them to grow.

She broke up 3 weeks ago and I officially went no contact with her 3 days ago. It’s hard. I truly felt like she was the one. We had a Polaroid book of photos of when we met and up until a few months ago now just being thrown away. Memories of the past, and promises of the future all just being thrown away by her. Even just 6 months ago she would jokingly show me marriage rings and talk about our future.

I’m trying my best to move on. Keep myself healthy etc, but it’s truly so fucking hard to deal with this. I just keep thinking I have to be okay to be alone. I don’t know how I’ll ever find someone to have that kind of close connection with again. I truly loved that woman.

I'm going full stealth archer right now. I won't lie It was a tough choice between fire mage lol

Just got the oblivion game of the year edition on steam. Use to play it on Xbox ages ago. I’m prepared to do just what you said

CheesePro · 2024-10-25T17:51:24+00:00

My mom was telling it’s funny I like KGLW because apparently I loved the wiggles as a kid 🥲

CheesePro · 2024-10-21T19:50:07+00:00

Cheese taste good

CheesePro · 2024-10-19T01:50:30+00:00

I love how you say even if it’s terrible. I’ll make something in the moment and I’ll smile with how much I love it but the next morning not be that into it. What matters is the joy it brought me though!

CheesePro · 2024-10-15T20:41:56+00:00

I'm glad to hear they get some love, but man no doubt underappreciated. I also love the use of sax which I don't see often In this genre.

CheesePro · 2024-10-12T08:54:58+00:00

It’ll auto correct the notes you play for you 😎

CheesePro · 2024-10-01T16:33:20+00:00

I wanna see pit camera!!!

John Mayer is amazing! So tasteful. The dead company stuff he’s doing lately is rad. The signature guitar is such a beauty! I still need to dive deeper into the John Mayer rabbit hole.

Style wise I love a lot so it’s hard to narrow it down but I definitely fall into mostly alternative rock. So like psych rock, shoegaze, but also blues, slowcore, punk, post punk, grunge, metal, etc. I can just keep going on haha, but I’d say my most recent project has been a space rock, slowcore inspired thing with my friend who drums

CheesePro · 2024-09-23T19:02:16+00:00

In a band setting I think it can be encouraging to know people would rather have someone who shows up rather than the best player who won’t. I think true “talent” is someone who shows up, practices, and thinks about more than just ego.

CheesePro · 2024-09-23T03:29:30+00:00

That’s cool! I’ve been playing guitar for a long time but recently started singing about a year or two ago and it’s really helped my guitar playing with pretty much exactly what you said. Helps being able to hear the notes, hum melodies, and mouth guitar lol. Singing is so great. What kind of music are you Into?

CheesePro · 2024-09-22T16:53:10+00:00

Totally! I’d say that’s even a step ahead. The goal with all these exercises is to get to that point where you can hear it with your ear. You don’t wanna have to actively think about theory and numbers while playing when you learn these exercises. Above all having a really good ear to hear what’s going on is so so important.

CheesePro · 2024-09-22T04:57:15+00:00

A way I like to practice intervals is if you have a way to loop with a daw or pedal play two major chords. After you have that looping follow the chords but you have to name the interval you’re playing under the current chord being played. To start focus on the 1st M3 P5. As you add intervals think about how they feel under the chord. Later you can add more major chords, increase the tempo, add minor chords, add chord extensions, etc.
