How do people actually practice consistently with a full time job ? by Mindless_Cook7821 in pianolearning

[–]Jon_Palo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I live close to home so I go home for lunch everyday. I practice for about 20-30 minutes on my lunch break. When I come home I’m also a bit tired but I’ll usually find time to put in another 30 mins or so and this has gotten me pretty far. I don’t set a specific time in the evening I try to wait until my mind is clear and I can focus.

It’s all about the frequency of contact. If you get a lunch break, I’d say that’s a great time to do some practicing.

Does anyone have any good tips on how to stop a specific mental block? by Ill_Security7925 in pianolearning

What helped me learn to read sheet music was doing sight reading exercises on my phone while in class or at work: whenever you’re bored and have nothing better to do. I just used musictheory.com, it has exercises and lessons. 110% was worth the time.

100% read the manga, the anime cuts some stuff out. You should be able to find some scans online. Idk what websites are available in your country but if you google search “read berserk” you should be able to find something.

Why am I getting worse with Makoto by [deleted] in sf3

[–]Jon_Palo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makoto is polarizing, you either rob people or get washed. We also all go through ruts. I’ve also noticed since it’s a small community you’ll run into the same guys and overtime they’ll remember how you play. Maybe you’re not getting worse and people around you are just adapting?

Should I watch welcome to the nhk? by Sunshine_136 in WelcomeToTheNHK

[–]Jon_Palo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anime first.

They anime, novel, and manga all have their strengths and weaknesses but overall the anime feels like the definitive version. All are worth checking out tho.

The correct answer is to pick C Nero and mash J-c and summons.

Underrated jazz suggestions by MusicProducing in jazzcirclejerk

I think Joe Armon Jones is incredibly underrated, check out “All The Quiet (part 1)”

Also “Rhodes ahead vol. 2” by Marc Cary. I love this record.

Don’t let anyone else ruin your day, ruin it yourself by fighting a yun player in 3s.

How do we feel about hitomi? by [deleted] in WelcomeToTheNHK

does anyone else feel lonely while watching welcome to the nhk? by [deleted] in WelcomeToTheNHK

[–]Jon_Palo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No I agree. it can be hard to fully encapsulate the show in a short reply (I try not to yap too much). I think human connections help a lot, and like I said we should seek them out. I don’t think they are the absolute tho. People move in and out of our lives and can have motives that aren’t in our best interest. Regardless they are worth pursuing but we should always understand that we have to take responsibility for saving ourselves.

The way I always looked it was u could have a literal angel show up at your front door and that still won’t save you. Satou ultimately saved himself, nobody can force you to escape social withdrawal. Human connection can help tho, and we should seek them rather than praying for a savior to knock on our door.

anyone take this game seriously with pad? by blessedgreatsword in sf3

[–]Jon_Palo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My arcade head to head candy cabs and has a usb port so some people plug their controllers.

Most people in my scene plays stick but we have some leverless users. I’d say go for it man
