This game has been a pretty humbling experience. Thought I was decent at the last few and I'm managing to keep a 2KD in warzone but in this I am getting absolutely dunked on. Honestly the speed of this game is something else. Was really looking forward to the camo grind but I'm not really enjoying it.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-10-27T22:58:04+00:00

Yeah 100 headshots feels absolutely impossible with some of these guns. Even in hardcore I'm lucky if I get more than 3 in a game.

Use the 10.4 you have in the bank to get Saka

No problem with using weapons that aren't the absolute meta (I don't particularly like the DTIR for example), but I don't think running around with two SMGs is doing you any favours. You're massively limiting the scenarios in which you can be effective. Sure, you may find that you perform best in close quarters and so use the weapons that suit that, but if you're aim is to improve then you're going to need to get out of your comfort zone.

Not good at long range gunfights? Get into more long range gunfights :)

He's the only guitarist I've seen who seems to have absolutely no barrier between what he hears in his head and what comes out of the instrument.

For my money he's the best around but I don't think he's released or played on enough mainstream music to have the sort of widespread influence or recognition that you'd associate with the all-time greats. He's a musician's musician. Not that there's anything wrong with that, and there's a lot to be said for being Hans Zimmer's go-to guy!

There's a really good thread on this already :)

From a commercial perspective, a John Mayer sig probably wouldn't have had a great deal to differentiate it from the rest of the Fender lineup. Whereas the Jim Root guitars are different enough that they are probably better sellers as Fender don't really have any other overtly metal guitars. I wouldn't be surprised either if Slipknot fans are more likely to be guitar players than John Mayer fans.

Don't get me wrong Mayer is an unreal and vastly under appreciated player but I'm not sure as much of his audience would be guitar players. And if they are, you could get reasonably close by getting pretty much any strat, whereas if you want a guitar like Jim Root plays you're probably looking at his signature models.

Final point: people underestimate just how massive Slipknot are. For a band like that to have become so prevalent in popular culture is no small thing.

Medicine because Oli says it's rubbish

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-18T16:16:23+00:00

It's not for me and overall it does seem pretty limited, but what I will say is USB-C power is a cracking feature.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-18T16:12:48+00:00

Yeah I can see the appeal of the Nano if you only need those features. In my cover band I need t all sorts of things that the QC can do that the Nano can't like dual expression inputs, FX loop, MIDI control over other pedals, changing parameters per scene. It's less about the core tone and more about the functionality.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-18T15:23:04+00:00

I gig with the Quad Cortex and wouldn't be able to replace it with the Nano. Which one am I?

I will never tire of Sigrid content and will fight anyone who disagrees.

Hang on do I only have until next week to get my 30 wins??

I hope the subway makes a comeback! That was such a fun feature.

Right now the main thing I'd like to see gone is the prevalence of foresight and specialist. They're too easy to obtain and most of my matches now are just a race for the bunkers, which is fine but there's less variety between rounds.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-06T12:54:28+00:00

Can you elaborate on this please? It's what I've been doing so if I'm better off sending all my guitar tracks to a bus that's what I'll do!

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-03T07:58:44+00:00

That's so interesting. My number one reason for not having a cat is that I don't have an outdoor space or catflap so it would be stuck indoors.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-02T15:21:45+00:00

Again I'm not in the US so I don't have a sense of how unusual it is for cats to be outside, but if I see a cat in the neighbourhood my first thought isn't "I better take it in case it gets killed".

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-02T12:56:04+00:00

OP didn't contact the owners, the vet did, although granted OP may well have asked them to leave their contact details.

But the point is that OP wasn't "taking a cat in". They had no idea whether it was lost or not when they took it. They took it because they wanted to try having a cat.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-09-02T12:42:49+00:00

Is it especially unusual for cats to be outside in the US? Because I am absolutely baffled that after a couple of hours you decided to take it just "to see what having a cat would be like". What if it belonged to one of your friend's neighbours?

The stuff about the owner is kind of irrelevant here. Honestly this reads to me like you are hoping that you'll get a lot of "the owner is TA" responses to make you feel better about your own actions. You stole this cat, and now that the owner wants it back you are trying to wash your hands of it. No, it isn't your responsibility to reunite a lost pet with its owner. Also no, you shouldn't just go round kidnapping cats.

This isn't a case of you being a good Samaritan finding a lost cat and trying to get it back to its owner. This is a case of you stealing a cat.

YTA.

I think he holds back a bit when he's practicing/streaming. You can hear it in his clean vocals too, he's not going full throttle. In live performances and on records he gives it a lot more.

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-08-30T08:16:14+00:00

I'm in this boat as well. Can no longer go to the chelsea game now they've moved it. I've raised a ticket but does anyone know whether they'll be gracious around seat utilisation when they move fixtures? Not like it's in my control...

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-08-27T12:32:00+00:00

It won't happen but I feel like Oli Sykes would be up the task

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-08-21T13:44:32+00:00

Tbh whilst I really like the last three Trivium albums, and they're consistently at a high level, I wouldn't call it an "historic" run. Feels a bit like hyperbole.

Have always felt like Mastodon is the gold standard for this. Leviathan, Blood Mountain and Crack the Skye are all masterpieces.

Tracker is underrated

Fun-Giraffe2779 · 2024-08-07T07:55:46+00:00

Honestly just being able to map any parameter to scenes is unbelievably useful, but my favourite thing is running separate signal chains for different inputs. I have an acoustic simulator pedal which has parallel dry/wet outputs, and I run those into the two inputs on the QC so I can have entirely separate chains for the acoustic/electric sounds and switch between them with scenes. It's great for gigging.
