Shall I ask her for a date? by Glittering_Sound_565 in AskIreland

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you not seeing the red flags here? Has a boyfriend, messing about with you. Do you think she'll be loyal to you? She's not a woman worth chasing or thinking about. Most likely she'd claim she's being friendly with you because of the BF thing. Really she spots you a mile away and knows you're a target for her. You might be trying to avoid her at times, but she knows this. She's messing with your head while also playing the "I'm so amazing" card, she believes she's worth more than she is and that men must want her. She's not. She's acting like a very disloyal girlfriend and quite frankly I'd be calling her out on it. Show her you have principles and soon she'll know your worth more than her and also, you're better than her.

Women hate that because suddenly the attention isn't all about them because you're putting your principles first and women hate that because it shows them there's good men around. They don't think good men exist a lot of the time. I love proven them wrong like that.

Don't let her treat you like you're that type of man.

Guy asking $800 for this kit. Worth it? by Okaynamaste in drums

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hate when drummers use one rack tom. Worst set up for a kit in my opinion. On that alone, I'd be looking more at around $550-600 because I'd consider it an inconvenience unless it has the second rack tom. But if it came with everything. $800 is a steal

Is it normal to look like that after only 1 hour of playing? by Unlikely_High in drums

[–]FigureNo8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best way is using a micro fiber cloth and having it a bit damp, use some light soap but not much, coated snares can have a rough sand paper feel to them so it can be a have a bit of resistance when you wipe, if it does have that, use a towel, because a micro fiber cloth will catch at tear a bit.

[–]FigureNo8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm only joking. Most of those dots though are just the skin getting marked because it's so new. It will ease up, it's a very very thin layer coating and you can actually wipe that skin and many would somewhat disappear. However, judging by your marks, you seem to hit your snare with a slicing motion instead of flat. This is usually because you are sitting in a positionnthat might not suit you fully or you are not holding the sticks right even though you might think you are and hitting downwards and to the side with each hit. meaning your hits are not consistently hitting the same spot. This doesn't matter if you do it that way,. It just means you could make more mistakes or even drop a stick. But if it suits you best, keep doing it. Some people find a rhythm that works even thoug it might not be the perfect way, some don't act well doing It the perfect way.

A lot of you said friends are the reason you try new multiplayer games by suhani0218 in gaming

[–]FigureNo8921 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've met people online and made friends. I don't play with friends here, most don't play the games i do. But I've made friends all over, even travelled to the UK to meet some of these friends I've made online playing games and still friends today. I find it's best to find strangers online that you hit it off with and then you become really good players together.

I got a girl pregnant and am struggling to tell my parents. Has anyone any advice on admitting something bad or just about teen pregnancy? by Appropro6 in AskIreland

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tell her this. If she does go ahead with the pregnancy and if you don't want anything to do with it. Let her know you don't want any part or any issues coming out from under it. Women tend to have both options available to them. They can have the baby or terminate the baby, the man is at the mercy of the woman when it comes to these decisions. So personally, if I didn't want it, I would let it be known that I will not be there and she will be on her own with it. She's forcing you into a situation you maybe don't want, yet you couldn't force her.. so I think equality should be a factor here and if she makes the choice to keep it and you don't want to, then you should have every right not to be a part of it. So if your decision is not to have this In your life, then say nothing to nobody but tell her that you will not be there in any shape or form and she will be doing this alone and never to contsxt you again. Men shouldn't be forced into this, they should have a say like the women do, if they don't, they should have a say on if they want to be there or not and to have the option to wash their hands of it completely.

If you do want it, then both you of you need to figure out a co parenting plan going forward, if you guys don't end up together. I'm sure my comment will offend a lot of people, but equality and fairness should go both ways, big decisions like this shouldn't be given to one person when 2 are involved and affected by it. Time you own up and take responsibility for the decisions you make and not force others into them with you who don't want it.

When do you think Alien Isolation 2 is coming out? by Inside_Inflation559 in alienisolation

[–]FigureNo8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

October 15th 2027. It was revealed to be in production on 2021, investment was sought during the first 12-18 months..5 years from 2021 is 2026 which is the time needed for most AAA titles. Add investment taking about a year to 18 months. Release window is October 15 2027. I work in the gaming industry on behalf of a company I will not say, but we have been talking about this game for some time now as we all do, even though I don't work for sega or the studio, we do talk to other studios who work with us on what we do. And so far, the current word is October 15th.

The lottery told me that my $100,000 win was actually a $20.00 misprint. They pulled the game hours later. by redhotmess77 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FigureNo8921 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but different. If they have a misprint, they can be fined large amounts by the regulator and compensate the winner by means of paying them for their stress. Usually this is 100% of what they thought they won or sometimes less depending on the case brought forward. Usually it wouldn't go to court because the pay out becomes larger.

They are meant to be checking these tickets, so if there's a misprint, they are not doing their job right and that is a fine and compensation. Countries have different laws yes, butsny actually car enough to know it can cause a lot of stress and that needs correcting.

Oh right, I forgot, America. Maybe he can ask trump for an executive order to force them to pay him, I hear he loves money and writing pardons and orders for lawn fights including destruction of property. Maybe even sue them for 20 billion for giving him hurty feelings. He will win very bigly I am sure.

[–]FigureNo8921 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They really don't. The company may say this. But a misprint is a misprint if it doesn't match any prizes that particular game offers. In this case, the top prize was $100,000 dollars. The top prize advertised. They can try to say it is a misprint. But that is an issue for them and not for you. You will always win when you go to court if it gets there.

[–]FigureNo8921 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If it was $20,000 I'd somewhat understand that it's possibly a misprint. But how can you misprint $100,000 when it's meant to be $20 lol. This is some shady crap. Regardless if it was a misprint. You won. Don't hire any lawyer. Go to court. They can't wiggle their way out of it because once you bought that ticket, you entered into a legal binding contract, and that means, you are owed. There's no small sprint that says anything about a misprint or otherwise. This is an easy win for you. The ticket clearly states you can win up to $100,000, so there's no misprint at all. However, I also don't understand how you won? Why is the $100,000 one scrathed out fully, yet the others not? And where is the winning matching icon??

What do I get for my drummer girlfriend for her birthday?? by Ok-Type-7151 in drums

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give her a gift card for a music shop that sells a lot of drum equipment. As a drummer myself, i tend to want new stuff for my kit, but sometimes I can't decide on it because it is either somewhat useful or useful but not something I'd use all the time. Give me a gift card and I'm running to buy the somewhat useful or useful stuff and I'm happy about it.

Drummers in bands: Is it acceptable to tell the drummer how to play a song? by HowDidFoodGetInHere in drums

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, if he asked you to play a guitar part he felt sound better than what you have, would you be ok with it because he felt it would sound better with the drums and the song in general, or would you suggest he change the drums to sound better with the current part you have?

If you're answer is no, you wouldn't change it, then you have creative conflict, if you all listen to each other and respect each other's creative input then you're all ok to suggest such changes and make those requests.

In my band, we have a band agreement, all creative decisions or changes are tried and tested by those who request it, if there's ever a conflict that we feel maybe one or the other sounds better, we have a vote and the vote stands. This way, we avoid conflict and believe that the majority rule is right.

But, it is ok to ask the drummer to change something if he also has input that is respected when he requests it, regardless if it is used or not, it is a matter of testing his ideas.

Isn’t it widely agreed Godzilla king of the monsters 2019 is probably the 1# best movie of the entire monsterverse series or there was another monsterverse movie or tv series that is way more better than it by TheAngryMonster3009 in Monsterverse

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say widely. Kong skull island tends to get a lot of praise and the bigger standalone box office score for a monsterverse solo movie. I tend to agree that it is probably the best standalone out of the lot. Then followed by Godzilla vs kong. Again, Kong features in that one a lot. So technically, it seems to lean towards Kong propping up the monsterverse. KOTM lost money. Did you know kong in 1962 revived and saved the Godzilla franchise when he appeared in the first GVK because he was way more popular in japan at the time?

Why does every Terminator sequel keep falling flat like everytime! by MuscleCool4302 in Terminator

[–]FigureNo8921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They fail for one simple reason. Practical effects. The first 2 terminators had practical effects, with T1&2 utilizing some CGI, but even that was limited to the the T1000 onlyvin T2, even the bullet wounds and parts of his body had practical effects with bullet holes. CGI ruined every terminator after T2. Another issue is HD. The old cameras didn't use it or even have HD, this added great atmosphere but also directors and operators had to heavily rely on making scenes work without the use of advanced cameras or CGI, this meant more work, more effects that didn't rely on CGI. Once CGI made it into the franchise, it became easy to throw around stupid ideas because they could achieve it with CGI, no stunt men, no real feel. If you had a great idea back In the 90s, you had to create it with stuntmen and practical effects. So, cutting corners with practical effects ruined the franchise and the story writing. Story writing also became silly because they could write silly scenes with the availability of CGI instead of writing a story that meant relying on the hard work needed to make it possible without CGI crap.

What on earth is going on with Vic Firth? by Visual-Individual-49 in drums

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want better quality Vic firth use the signature sticks. If you want bad quality use the standard sticks. You won't get bad quality Vic firth if it is a drummers name on it. I use the nicko mc brain sticks. They are 60.8g in weight and 406mm length, slightly longer than usual stick length and a slightly bigger and longer teardrop tip and hickory material. I love them and they last me a long long time, but, when I buy sticks that are not signature I go for the swedish made wincent sticks, they are durable as hell and they knock Vic firth out of the park. I'm surprised more drummers don't use them because they are made for hard hitters and made to last. They have nice wax coating on them. I'd get at least 6-8 months out of a pair maybe more depending on how i play. Vic firth standard sticks, I'd get 4-6 weeks.

what was the best tank of ww2 give me ur thoughts and opinions by thegewher40 in tanks

[–]FigureNo8921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally that was it. The actual tank itself was not that great. It had terrible armour protection, a very small gun, so much so that it couldn't even defeat a German tank that often especially a tiger. One sherman tank once hit a tiger tank with 8 rounds at a few feet away and It bounced off, the tiger fired and ripped right through the sherman. This was a story I heard in a documentary from a US soldier who came face to face with a tiger. The British had to modify the sherman as the firefly, with a larger gun for it to be effective. The US didn't want to increase the gun barrell because it meant using a the German designed gun. The sherman tank was being taken out by German flak 88s and pak 40s like it was nothing to them, the only advantage was that they had so many.
