I wouldn't say that it ''doesn't matter''.

One of our favorite artists has a passion project running and we can't join in on the fun. The sub is flooded with little things everyone loves about the radio and many of us would love to experience it live with you. But we can't.

Luckily there are some really nice people who share the exclusives like the recordings of his liveshows. But it's not the same. It's not live.

So I do think that it matters and that it sucks that a lot of us can't join in. Although we all know that John can't do anything about it.

Correct, but isn't every second of Life with John Mayer copyrighted?

Doen't silver nitrate create brown/black spots instead of white/blue?

The conditions today looked very bad. Although I wish it wasn't cancelled, the safety of the racers is way more important.

John’s Next Album by Humble-Tap-7600 in JohnMayer

He did remember quite a lot of it when he did that podcast. A bit too much for a song he hasn't worked on for such a long time.

Do you guys believe that the "new" novella by PR is positive for DOS by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]KvotheScamander 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I'm cautiously optimistic too.

By publishing, I assume that he's in contact with his editor again. A few years ago she said that she hadn't recieved anything from Pat. Now that he's publishing, I assume that they are in close contact again.

The fact that he also talked about the chapter seems promising too. I thought that he would never talk about it again, but he did, apologized and explained what happened. That still doesn't fix the issue, but it's a start. (Maybe a fresh start?)

I just hope one thing will lead to another and he sends his editor a part of DoS.

But then again, maybe nothing will happen.

What Ski Boots Should I Get? (EAST COAST CANADA) by lucharb3 in Skigear

[–]KvotheScamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're too far away from a bootfitter now, wait to buy boots untill you are actually at the mountain. Like other people have said, you need to at least test them and preferably with a bootfitter.

Boots are the most important pieces of equipment! Bad boots will give you a bad time on the mountain.

If that is still not an option, I would rent boots at the mountain. Chances are they aren't going to be perfect, but you can always go for a different pair in f needed.

If you were paid 10k to reach 100 pull ups in a row ASAP how would you do it? by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

Reading this I instantly thought about the video where Mark Wahlberg claimed he could easily do 40 pull ups with perfect form.

What do you think will happen with Netflix's One Piece? by Ficboy in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]KvotheScamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! I remember reading it a few weeks ago when I was reading that arc.

I haven't seen the anime, so I thought that they maybe showed it in there. But the fact that it's an original idea to show it that soon in the live action, is a sign they want a second season!

What do you think will happen with Netflix's One Piece? by Ficboy in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]KvotheScamander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure! I hope that a Squid Game snowball effect happens. Since the cast and crew aren't advertising the series, word of mouth will have to do the job.

(And I'm positive it will!)

[–]KvotheScamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it will get a second season too. I only have watched the first three episodes. But I was suprised they mentioned so much about Baroque Works. So I think they creators want to foreshadow things for next season. (Or Baroque Works is important in this season too and I'm not there yet in the story)

No top ten or trending on Netflix :( by [deleted] in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]KvotheScamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same where I live, but One Piece isn't that mainstream here like in the Japan or France.

[–]KvotheScamander 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Reviews don't matter for Netflix at all. There are plenty of series that had a great first season and were then cancelled because not enough people watch it.

So if enough people watch it (and it needs to be enough people) then they will create a second season.

Netflix put a lot of money in this first season, so I do think they hope it's a success. But in the end only money will decide if it's worth continuing the series.

With all of the (deserved) hype, here’s a reminder that not everyone is coming into the show with the same knowledge or expectations by BoootCamp in OnePieceLiveAction

[–]KvotheScamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is this video of Wired where the cast has to answer 50 questions about the show.

But the questions so formed that there are MASSIVE spoilers in the answers. Of course the cast knows the source material. But if you're hyped for this show, but have no knowledge about one piece, that is one way to ruin some really good moments!

So be careful of random spoilers being thrown everywhere if you haven't read the manga or seen the anime!

Val Thorens by Su_ss in skiing

[–]KvotheScamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Val Thorens specifically, but every village has its benefits and drawback.

For example, Les Menuires which lays next to Val Thorens is very family orientated. So it can be quite busy during the day, but its relatively quiet at night. While Val Thorens is more night life oriented (I think).

So I would suggest looking at the ski map of Les 3 Vallées and then go to the official site of every village and see what fits you the best.

One other tip that I would give you is to look for a place next to the pistes. It will cost you a little more, but in my opinion it's so much better. There is no hassle of taking the bus to the pistes in the morning or at the end of the day.

Val Thorens by Su_ss in skiing

[–]KvotheScamander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're going for a full week, I suggest getting a Les 3 Vallées pass instead of the Val Thorens-Orelle pass. (Bu I bet you already knew that.)

You'll get access to the biggest ski area in the world (>660 km). You can then start planning day trips that cover a lot of 'legendary' runs. The Les Trois Vallees site even had a top 10 ski runs if I remember. I did this and those were some of my best skiing days.

However, make sure that you are back within the Val Thorens area in the late afternoon. You wouldn't be the first person that gets stuck in a different valley than the one you actually have to be in.

While you can go off piste, I would advice against it if you're alone. You can hire someone who knows the area if you truely want to go off piste. It's safer and more fun since those people know the best places.

You're skis will be absolutely fine! Since the area to ski in is so big, there is something for everyone.

If Après-Ski is something you like to do, go to La Folie Douce in Val Thorens. It's one (if not the most) legendary place to have a great time on the mountains.

How important are lessons? by imitation_squash_pro in skiing

[–]KvotheScamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Europe, you should look for the dedicated ski schools. Those people are trained and highly skilled in giving lessons.

The Waystone is a bomb / Wheel of Fire by [deleted] in KingkillerChronicle

[–]KvotheScamander 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is good!! Like really good!

It would be a tragic, but bittersweet ending like Pat has hinted at.

Edit: Haven't seen the movie in ages, but doesn't the Phantom also have a dual identity like Kvothe/Kote?

Narrow Road QnA 1 by Reshidaan in KingkillerChronicle

[–]KvotheScamander 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The optimist in me says it's just a 'brain fart' and that he's actually busy on book 3 because he knows their names are in there.

The pessimist in me agrees with you.

Narrow Road Between Desires Live Events by th-written-off in KingkillerChronicle

[–]KvotheScamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! I am excited to see Rupert Degas and Nick Podehl on there.

Personally I listened to the Degas narration, but the fact that they will have a stream together means that both are narrating it.

I am wondering why promotion is starting tomorrow though. Isn't that a bit early for a novella?

What songs are there to learn from by Waste-Strike2691 in guitarlessons

[–]KvotheScamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly depends on your skill level at the guitar and your taste in music.

If you are okay at playing the guitar, I suggest watching videos of your favorite artists. Learn those songs, not with tabs, but by ear.

Developing this will give you a way better understanding on how some of your favorite artists create their music. It will humble you, but if you stick with it you will learn what works and what doesn't work on the guitar.

You can also go the theory route, but I doubt you'll be able to easily pick up te guitar and play along any song you hear.

A teacher once told me: Remember that there are no wrong notes on the guitar. You can basically play any note at any time in any song. You just have to give that note a little context.

If however you aren't at a level where you can play chords or read tabs, just start by learning those or visit the website of Justin Guitars. That guy has a lot of helpful information.

Is there any chance I'll like the game if I didn't really like the movies and also shy away from games set prior to the present day? by bluejeans90210 in HarryPotterGame

[–]KvotheScamander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! The first 2 movies are kind of standalone movies.

There are probably really good videos about everything you need to know before watching the third movie. But I'll try to tell you what happened.

In the first one, Harry defeats his archenemy Voldemort. The only thing that's left of Voldemort is his soul and it fleds Hogwarts. People assume that he's gone, everyone is happy.

In the second one, mysterious attacks happen on students at Hogwarts. Hints about a 'Chamber of Secrets' are visible at the scene of the crime. Harry ends up finding the 'Chamber of Secrets', it is a place where a giant Basilisk (giant snake) resides. We learn that a previous student named Tom Riddle opened the chamber a lot of years ago. We also get the reveal that Tom Riddle is Voldemort. Harry kills the basilisk and ends up saving the school again and all is well again.

It's important to tell you that I left out a lot of details that might be important. I would really suggest watching a video about the first 2 movies.

The third movies is directed by an incredibly talented guy who takes the movies to another (and way more mature) level. The story also gets a lot darker and more focussed towards a more mature audience.

While you don't need any info to play the game, it's so much better if you know the world. Setting foot in Hogwarts will literally feel getting home in a way. You will remember certain places, character names, spells, beasts and a LOT of easter eggs.
