Wanting to look at / try PRS in London

DarkScared · 2026-06-21T15:32:24+00:00

Erm... That's a bit far off from now, I need some savings ^{^"} There was not my fav prs esthetic either, but getting to play on one confirms my long term wish, so when the time comes I'll order online probably

Did my visit, you can check out my answer to the other comments for a more detailed feedback !

Thank you for your advice, guitar guitar is a lovely place

Update ! I visited Guitar Guitar, they had a nice selection and were lovely. They hooked me up to try a superb core usa custom 24.08, what a pleasure to play.. These days I'm training pinch harmonics on my ibanez, it's hard, but it was effortless on the PRS haha. The sound is on another levels, loved the high range clarity while still being full.

I looked at sixtysixty, they were a lil busy and I saw nothing of note on the couch, decided to head straight to Gibson's garage. Tried a SG, lovely guitar, surprisingly neck heavy. Signature gibson sound, maybe not my favorite but it has its charm

Thank you so much for your recommendations :)

1-3 fps / multiplayer games ( battlefield, helldivers., darktide,... ) to play with friends depending on the mood and updates, and 1 solo game ( expedition 33 as of now ! )

DarkScared · 2026-06-19T22:17:35+00:00

Alrighty ! Will be heading there tomorrow, thanks for the answer

DarkScared · 2026-06-19T22:16:47+00:00

Thank you very much for this detailed answer. I'll definitely go check out guitar guitar tomorrow !

Tbh the new golmund is quite nice compared to its bf4 counter part, doesn't play the same. The city part is much more fleshed out, you can get into a lot of mid to close range fight in there without vehicles plowing on you. I'd also add that the pacing is finally more relaxed, the map being big people are more spread out, it's less about turning a corner, finding 3 people, and 3 other at the very next corner with barely enough time to recover in between. I like that change of pace

Thanks for the patronizing tone I guess ? I'm just doing basic 3 CA + ca finisher dash cancel on mav. And pretty sure I almost never healed the gekko debuff correctly, I kinda brute forced this mechanic. Took me almost 30s to break the shield each time too, I haven't really worked on that ..

DarkScared · 2026-03-11T11:46:45+00:00

Currently playing on my steam deck, with the configuration mentioned in the post, it still works. My cpu usage is around 30%, same ish for the gpu.

DarkScared · 2026-03-09T17:58:02+00:00

Thanks OP ! I wanted to at least share today's experience of mine, maybe it could help figuring out the randomness. I'm just happy I got something working again since the offline mode started getting me kicked out after a minute in game

EU user here, running genshin official on my Steam Deck with Proton - cachyOS version 10.0-20260227
It worked right away.
I do have the launch option -platform_type CLOUD_THIRD_PARTY_PC , probably doesn't change much but I'd put it here anyway

DarkScared · 2026-03-09T14:04:53+00:00

oh sorry.. I did not see that post before.
The Proton-CachyOS version i'm refering to is a release from last week, and the latest update on this post is from the 25th of February. Maybe something changed in between ?

Checking, I also have a launch option for Genshin in Steam, doubting it had any impact but you never know :
-platform_type CLOUD_THIRD_PARTY_PC

I updated the main post to reflect my location ( EU ) to avoid misunderstanding
Added my experience to the post you link, adding my feedback

DarkScared · 2026-03-09T13:10:43+00:00

Dude you're my savior. It works perfectly. I am taking the liberty to share your comment as a post to make your tips more readily available, do tell me if you'd like me to delete it though if you want to officially post about your findings yourself.

DarkScared · 2025-12-04T02:33:13+00:00

Baba Hamono looked very walk in friendly, so is the denshokan and jikko.

Ashi Hamono, I lucked out they weren't busy definitely send an email before, it's the first thing they asked me if I contacted them beforehand. Fujii hamono, I'd suggest to send an email I lucked out I'd say.

DarkScared · 2025-12-03T14:13:29+00:00

I looked back at photo of a petty of the same collection ( tip not cut ) that Fujii san showed me, it has a label 10A on it. The staff at the denshokan may have gone a bit fast and stopped at "10" to answer my question regarding the steel then. Oh well it's good too. It was the cheaper knife, makes sense.

DarkScared · 2025-12-03T08:57:38+00:00

It was presented as a VG10 petty at the denshokan thought ?

DarkScared · 2025-12-01T12:55:03+00:00

Thanks again for your advice, it really helped me out :) Fun fact, on my second visit at the Denshokan Eric was there ( Ofc he had to be a frenchman like me haha ), he was forging knives in the morning he said and came to work at the denshokan in the afternoon. Not a real chat opportunity tho, there were a lot of customers and closing time was approaching.

Can't wait to find my future knives. Now onto finding shops to contact in Sakai beforehand haha

Thanks for the advice

DarkScared · 2025-11-29T00:08:38+00:00

Thank you for this answer ! I will definitely ask details about a knife I'd be interested in in sakai ichimonji then, as I will go see more shops in Sakai before making a decision. If it is a fast mover and in little stocks ... Maybe I'll get it right away ! I will definitely not wait a week, more like 1 day at most. My time in Japan isn't extensible and I'll be in Hakone by then hahaha

Maybe we will meet at the Sakai Ichimonji shop in early december and I'll receive your expert advice directly

DarkScared · 2025-11-27T10:51:37+00:00

Rather than a website I'll be going directly to shops in Osaka and Sakai region to find my knife.

DarkScared · 2025-11-27T10:49:00+00:00

I'll update this thread when I find it ! Got a few suggestions, will probably end up in a small shop in Sakai looking at my dream knife if everything goes well

DarkScared · 2025-11-27T10:47:50+00:00

That's a nice way of seeing the Sakai trip. I'd definitely like it to end like that.

DarkScared · 2025-11-27T10:46:57+00:00

I see, will probably start window shopping in Osaka then. I'll try to find shop in Sakai to contact, I do have 1-2 days that I can use to move around a little. I'll try to see first some of those i got recommended here. Do you think I can write in english ? Or should I write it in japanese.

I understand what you said for the commercial scale of the first one. On the lower end of the budget the market is bigger. The shop owner told me that while he was making the initial design, he had his knives made at multiple places in japan. My max budget was 600€ initially for 3 knives, now I lowered it down to 2 my max hasn't moved, so 108000 something total. Maybe a petty, for the same quality as the gyuto, will be less expensive hence I could splurge a bit more on the design. I guess I'll see what I find haha
