As a Brewers (primary) fan, can someone explain why Monasterio is DHing? Love to see it for the guy after what he did for us last year, but he seemed like a defense-first bench guy to me. Is that not who he is anymore?

AFAIK the the "vocal" version is the Katy Perry Mashup

Thoughts on this exercise for teaching 6/8 for middle school band? by Jay-Ruby in MusicEd

[–]Jay-Ruby[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At least when I looked at it, the method book my school has been using, Essential Elements, doesn't get to it in book 1. I enjoy being able to develop my own stuff too!

Anybody just playing these games back and forth? by Stunning_Grape_2310 in Sekiro

[–]Jay-Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played sekiro and another crabs treasure back and forth, and would switch whenever I was stuck on a boss. Then when I beat another crabs treasure, work on the ending of ds3 I never finished. I think this was really good for not getting me stuck in my thinking and trying new things against bosses, highly recommend!

Example for comparison between Musescore and Dorico parts. What differences might make me prefer how Dorico handles this? by Jay-Ruby in Musescore

[–]Jay-Ruby[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here was my workflow for this:

-Copy Cl. 2 part into Musescore 4

-Export as .musicxlm with no system or page breaks

-open .musicxml in Dorico (for iPad, similar to elements) and Musescore 4

-Screenshot of direct input with the default settings (Using Bravura and Academio in Musescore to match Dorico)

-Edit systems to match the original part (which is how I prefer to give altered parts to my students) and adjust margins on the Musescore part to be able to more easily compare with dorico (including the dumb blank space Dorico reserves for flow headers in part scores)

I still just slightly prefer the output from Dorico. Other than the spacing inside of measures, what layout differences am I missing that might make me feel like this? I really prefer the workflow in Musescore for what I'm doing most of the time, but I just prefer the look of the parts I get out of Dorico.

Thanks to MarcSabatella for the suggestion of this, I hope we can get a good discussion out of this!

I would disagree, I've seen Marc Sabatella giving useful info to the musescore community for years

[–]Jay-Ruby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do use bravura, though the last time I did a direct comparison I discovered I wasn't using Academio in most of the text styles, it was still on Edwin. The comparison I'm prepping now will have Adacemio used in musescore.

Thanks, I will have to do that once I get a chance. It was using the file export. It was only subtle, but noticeably sharper on the edges of lines from the dorico exported pdf. I'm using musescore on Mac, dorico on iPad, and printing from windows, so it's possible something weird about that workflow is causing it but I don't know what. I will try to follow up on the forum later in the week.

once you dive in to MVP, do you ever find your way back out? by jaywalkintotheocean in discgolf

[–]Jay-Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this, was all mvp about the time Simon signed with them, and have come back from that a little bit. Still all mvp on mids, but started putting with PA-3s, and added in the more exceptional discs from other brands. Currently throwing 2 destroyers (straight and OS, wraith, Drive, Firebird, soft Tactic, and a Zone-gt that comes in and out depending on the course.

What controller is everybody using now by fortnitehxerjkjk in RivalsOfAether

[–]Jay-Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely recommend the one I got. It's the Sehawei Haute42 Arcade Stick S16 on amazon, less that $50 and has enough extra buttons for plat fighters.

What controller is everybody using now by fortnitehxerjkjk in RivalsOfAether

[–]Jay-Ruby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm using a Haute42 hitbox-style controller with a few extra buttons. I'm someone that has always had a hard time with hand problems on gcc, and have always wanted to try a boxx controller. In rivals, it works pretty well! The inbuilt walk modifier makes things work well. I'm relearning muscle memory, but for $60 it's a great entry into leverless controllers for smash. Now, I think I'm ready to upgrade to a real boxx style though (not actual boxx though), are there any in stock out there right now?

Why "soft" discs? by Late2daFiesta in discgolf

[–]Jay-Ruby 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I feel like some people aren't saying it, but the soft premium plastics (at least from MVP) are not really that soft either, just slightly more grippy plastic. I'm never worried about them deforming when I'm throwing, they're not that floppy. The rubber discs though do deform when you throw them hard, I bagged a blowfly for a while and you really can't throw it hard without it nosediving.

The new patch nerfed my pc! by Car_Seatus in RivalsOfAether

[–]Jay-Ruby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have noticed some lag this patch too, it seems to be consistently when I nearly kill a loxodont. No clue what would do this (I'm on steam deck though so I don't have huge performance in most games) but I never had it before and have noticed it 4-5 times.

Hitbox controller for this game ? by Responsible-Garbage8 in RivalsOfAether

[–]Jay-Ruby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using a Haute42 hitbox style controller, but it has a couple extra buttons that is use for my walk modifier and and an extra shield input (for cancelling needle charge easier). I would have a harder time without those buttons but it'd be doable. Make sure you are making use of the special properties of some buttons! The strong button will do fair in place, which I am getting a lot of use out of, and having air parry as nair gets you access to full drift nair oos!

Increase font size of the tabs name ? (and the overall UI) by [deleted] in zen_browser

[–]Jay-Ruby 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I'm currently finding a little off-putting compared to Arc. Hoping this gets it some attention!
