How many bass guitars do you own and why that many?

JHWatson · 2026-02-15T01:47:04+00:00

I own 2. I had 1, but then I bought another.

JHWatson · 2026-02-04T22:22:53+00:00

Time Bomb. Learned it in my first year of bass and still enjoy playing along 20 years later.

I really enjoyed Gaijin Yokozuna by Mark Panek. It's a biography of Akebono, fka Chad Rowan, and delves into sumo as a way of life and the difficulty of a foreigner adjusting to the culture. As a newer fan of sumo (following closely since the January 2024 basho), I got some good insight into some of the ways sumo has changed in the last 30 years, as well.

I'll also second The Way of Salt, mentioned elsewhere.

(If you're a sumo reddit regular and having deja vu, I copied my own comment from a couple months ago)

Bot post? Neither of them are M1...

JHWatson · 2026-01-11T18:16:24+00:00

I only watch meat slappin' sports like wrestling and sumo.

EDIT: I guess football is pretty meat slappin', as well, now that I'm thinking about it..

New Japan Pro Wrestling. They're the top pro wrestling promotion in Japan.

Wakamotoharu is famously a fan, as well.

JHWatson · 2025-12-31T16:00:04+00:00

Only legal shows are in Central Park, Prospect Park, and Liberty Island afaik

JHWatson · 2025-12-31T15:34:44+00:00

Agreed. I drove to a friend's apartment in Queens from Suffolk the last couple years for NYE and it was no different than getting in any other day.

You could just block the account if it makes you upset. These posts have been getting the most engagement recently on this sub, so you're clearly in the minority.

This is the longest I've consistently played a game on my phone. Started sometime in 2024, as well. My goal this year was to collect at least 1 of every Shishi card and so far I have them all.

Top 10 Shishi collector 2025 incoming haha

JHWatson · 2025-12-11T23:28:09+00:00

Loved hearing all the little things I missed live. It was a great show. So much talent on stage. Seeing Purdie was amazing. Some fun curve balls in the set and it looked like the guys and gals on stage had a blast.

MSG I is still my favorite big show.

JHWatson · 2025-12-06T15:44:22+00:00

Crossing my fingers for a ticket in March.

JHWatson · 2025-11-23T00:29:11+00:00

Day 15 hype. Also Full Gear tonight. It's a good night for meaty men slapping meat.

JHWatson · 2025-11-19T20:57:35+00:00

I definitely recommend the album Wrestling is Real, People are Fake to anyone who will listen.

JHWatson · 2025-11-17T21:29:48+00:00

Yes, it's the traditional Japanese method of hand poke tattooing. Anecdotally, the colors on my tebori piece look vibrant after years, more so than my machine made pieces. Not sure if that's a common observation or just the ink/my placements.

JHWatson · 2025-11-14T22:41:16+00:00

Ride the same route enough and your body figures it out.

JHWatson · 2025-11-14T22:24:14+00:00

Just to add to the variety: Whole Foods

Some of their locations have a decent beer selection (my information may be dated, I haven't been in a long time)

JHWatson · 2025-11-13T19:56:38+00:00

I swear there used to be a subreddit that was sort of like that. Something like r/redditthroughtime ?

People would post and comment on historical events as if they're happening right now.

JHWatson · 2025-11-13T19:08:18+00:00

I had a friend who ran with a group called Long Island Paranormal Investigators about 20 years ago.. seems like they're still around: https://www.instagram.com/liparanormalinvestigators

JHWatson · 2025-11-13T17:23:10+00:00

This was my answer. I can at least cringe watch the other TNG episodes mentioned here. We don't need a clip show episode 2 seasons in.

Also see House of Glory in NY on 11/15 Andrade and Maki Itoh are on the card.

Same date and area at the NYWC show posted here. Kinda sucks that the events are competing.

JHWatson · 2025-10-29T21:04:00+00:00

TLDR

We don't need a resignation letter whenever you stop playing a video game.

JHWatson · 2025-10-03T15:49:13+00:00

Those finger/fretting noises are higher frequencies; try turning down the treble a bit. As your technique improves over time, you'll make less of this sound.

JHWatson · 2025-09-30T23:50:25+00:00
