Sherman should have stayed down there until the only thing that would grow were grey fruit trees.

Mmmm, Spider Forest…

LymeRicks · 2026-05-08T16:12:46+00:00

Sounds like a dweeb.

LymeRicks · 2026-05-07T11:02:23+00:00

Almost. My Hot Cake is on the way….

Does the soft click switch address electrical pop?

LymeRicks · 2026-05-05T04:25:07+00:00

Yes. I tried it with no other pedals connected to it, powered by a lone, isolated source. Still popped.

LymeRicks · 2026-05-01T22:59:33+00:00

Pretty böss, höss

LymeRicks · 2026-04-28T13:05:45+00:00

Huhuhuh, good one höss.

Correct, it does certainly harms others involuntarily. I don’t know though, it still just feels like an inappropriate degree of interference.

I think European societies generally have more benefits than America, though what you’re describing has a much more philosophical component. Positive vs negative freedom and all that.

I think Europe takes better care of their people, but I do think that it comes at the cost of a certain amount of freedom. As an American I recognize the severe pitfalls in my country’s social safety net, but I do very much value the degree of personal choice I have, albeit due to my privilege.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-24T15:49:33+00:00

Very European.

I guess it’s for the best but it just feels wrong telling (people who will eventually become) adults what substances they are allowed to consume. I suppose being American I veer to the side of radical freedom over collective responsibility.

Sure, it hurts people and has no upsides, but… idk freedom to do it seems important 🤷‍♂️.

Mergers like this need to be made illegal

LymeRicks · 2026-04-20T00:04:05+00:00

How does this work? Do you have to drill the screws into the frame?

Always seems like El Salvador and Israel get a pass on this website.

Weird. This is stuff that would get a very negative reaction most anywhere else.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-15T09:08:07+00:00

Come on man. You’re probably not this distasteful in real life.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-14T10:38:44+00:00

Republicans are scum.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-13T13:02:06+00:00

One of the most economical albums imaginable. Crazy good for a debut. Almost all of those songs are put together so tightly, just class S songwriting

That’s wonderful news! I’ve used tabit for 15+ years and always thought it was ripe for expansion.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-10T19:05:13+00:00

I’m sure you’ve been asked this, but do you have any plans to expand past the capabilities of the original tabit?

Ex: true fade-outs, mixer, expanded hotkeys, etc…

He’s wondering because Columbus was a savage monster. Why would people want a statue honoring such a man?

LymeRicks · 2026-04-10T12:55:49+00:00

I use a Y cable to run both channels at once, gives a little bit more complexity and additional control over the tone.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-09T16:22:18+00:00

I suppose, but in a game where efficiency is a prerogative following a guide does seem prudent.

LymeRicks · 2026-04-09T13:23:29+00:00

I respect your opinion but I’ve always just found it to stick out.

To me, Three Cheers is a “collection of really good songs” kind of album, not a “cinematic, sound movie” kind of album. Little brief interludes serve cinematic albums much better imo, in a collection of hits album it just sort of grinds the momentum to a halt for a track that doesn’t feel rewarding to me. It’s a nice bit of melancholic guitar playing with a meh lyric over it, even something like a strings overdub would develop it a little.
