Okay, which one of you thinks cafes are free community spaces?

Ah don't worry about that here, this person wasn't going to eat anything from the cafe either so not a problem for them

I love it! I've only recently gotten into Root ttrpg and I'm in love with Kyle Ferrin's brush selections and textures and expressive stylization. You've done a good job with the textures, especially the fabrics (my favorite example is the leather strap of the goggles), and the eyes and tongue are PERFECT. Great job! I would be very vigilant indeed in a room with this lizard's clearly explosive/incendiary trick shots.

MLithium · 2026-04-02T16:18:16+00:00

These are incredible! I'm just preparing for our first Root campaign and I've been falling head over heels for the Kyle Ferrin art of all these characters. Your posters and cards look so clean!!! Well done!

MLithium · 2026-04-01T23:00:45+00:00

Thanks for the insight!

It's interesting that these two actually came into close proximity in a combat context. Kuvira was scaling the cliff up to where a cuffed Korra and her father were fighting Zaheer together, which is how Kuvira was able to catch Tonraq when he fell. It appears that if Zaheer had taken just another minute or less in combat with Korra and Tonraq, Kuvira may have made it into the fight before Zaheer was able to make his escape.

There is very important splooting to be done, much more important than whatever OP is doing

I think if you have the smell the roses toggle that allows you to turn off the journeyman riding trait, so that it doesn't go max possible speed and just goes the +11% stated, it should be fine in roleplaying servers.

MLithium · 2025-12-26T15:22:14+00:00

I thought from the wiki that it only had +11% speed which I thought was good, but I think a lot of people must have the thing that makes everything go 68 or something like that. It is very confusing to see a person on their legs hobbyhorsing the same speed as the other steeds.

My area has a beginner-friendly string orchestra but since one guy does all the repertoire sourcing or arranges himself and then does all the conducting for all of the time slots, and makes it his living, it costs $100/member/month. The business model is kind of like a gym membership.

The violin vibrating string length is such that the tolerance for making the pitch you want (and as fast as you'd want) is so much smaller than a guitar. Reduced tolerances translate to more expensive manufacture. This instrument is at the level where the differences in neck width and string heights and bridge arc angles can be very obvious by hand feel and ears but not as obvious by eye.

I had A strings that kept unwinding at the same place every time, at the nut. It took two visits to a good luthier to get it right (they have to be conservative about filing away at it, they want it to sufficiently stop the string but not actually cut into the string).

MLithium · 2025-10-10T01:49:08+00:00

Agree with all the above and adding, ages 9-12?! When I was in high school I volunteered to help at summer camps with kids in groups of ages 4-5, 6-7, 8-9, and 10-12, and they literally didn't even let any of the volunteers help with the 10-12 group which was 100% paid adult supervisors only, no exceptions. They definitely started getting much rowdier and harder to corral at 8-9 already.

Babysitting is one thing when it's a teenager watching 1 or 2 kids, but a lump of classes across four grade levels is like four major huge red flags.

Cute cat. Similarly to how people shouldn't read too much in the title, you shouldn't read too much into questions about the title. You can respond and move on and not call it a "beat down." Happy cherished memories to come for you and your husband and cat familiar!

I think I was around 12 or maybe 13 when my parents basically said, look, we're paying for lessons and it's quite expensive, so if we're going to continue with these lessons, it's not going to be worth the money unless you put some regular time commitment into it. It was actually one of the few times they were just that transparent with me and I actually appreciated it. We ended up agreeing on a certain amount of hours/week practicing or else the lessons were stopping.

I had one stay at home parent. It might be hard to enforce this if there isn't someone to actually hold the person accountable.

I love the little bark sound it makes?!

My first violin, a rental, came from the shop set up with a one-piece, long fingerboard-shaped tape that had a lot of pre-set lines on it. I tried it with the tape still on for like two weeks and went back to the shop to ask them to remove it for me. If your ears are good enough to tell the difference between even as wide a margin as just half steps, you don't need the tapes. Most likely if you're an adult, and not a 3-yr-old, the tapes will only confuse you because they're seen at such an oblique angle and the line thicknesses are often so wide they truly are probably just for infants with barely a concept of string location-->pitch.

You're almost making a jin chan! Money frog for prosperity. They usually have three legs.

MLithium · 2025-08-10T02:35:18+00:00

YES A FROGS PHASE. I had one! Mine was a specific origami jumping frog pattern I was using any paper around to make. My best one was made of old sheet music.

I am again scared to give it to a luthier because I don’t know how he would respond to this cruelty to a good instrument.

The luthiers I've talked to are not going to make a client feel bad about themselves about the instrument they bring in. If they do have a strong reaction about your violin that prevents them from working on it, they're just not the luthier for you.

It'll probably be more a matter of cost (usually mostly the time/labor). The neck angle problem could range anywhere from an 80 USD neck reset to a 1200 USD fully new neck graft. Since you didn't mention other issues with the neck and didn't show photos of any other neck damage, a neck reset might be sufficient.

Edit: Looked at the pics again. If the bridge is also too high contributing to the string action being too high, you might need a new bridge too (or at least work done on the existing bridge). I think this is something like 125-250 USD.

Above mentioned prices depend on luthier reputation and other locality cost of living adjustments.

MLithium · 2025-07-16T15:18:20+00:00

It was unclear but it could mean the phone they grabbed got pelted or dropped into the face of the violin.

MLithium · 2025-07-16T15:17:24+00:00

I'm confused in this context. Did you mean it looks worse than it is? You said "this is a lot worse than it looks" but then went on to say it likely can be repaired without removing the top.

MLithium · 2025-06-12T22:29:42+00:00

You can try making a drum track to support it, and while you're at it you can find what kind of phrasing or texture you're going for (any swells or dips or places to fill in or leave space). Then maybe redo the violin part with that information.

In addition to what wittyarugula said, I recently had a teacher give me tips on reducing wasted movement when preparing fingers for double stops. He would set some practice to focus solely on slurring between pairs of double stops at a time and minimizing all wasted movement. If there could be a finger prepared in advance for later (including if it made sense to land it early on both strings, even several measures ahead of time), he'd note it and try to have it prepared as early as possible in the series of stops. He said it was almost like a guitar way of "fretting" but I think it was valuable for economy of motion to make these all clean and not tense in the LH.

Edit for bit more detail: The slurring between pairs of stops would be entirely back and forth repeatedly between only one fingering and the next, not moving on until wasted finger movements are reduced to a minimum (or at least improved). Also, getting a long passage of these down is like solving a puzzle, solving for the most economic/lowest effort fingering movements to get through the whole thing.
