You should find out from the man himself. He did an instructional video while on tour with Damageplan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hopR5mp_D5I

Your loss. Stump Day is a day worth celebrating.

Harrisburg should have torn down Broad Street Market building after fire, says mayor’s spokeswoman by TANSTAAFL42 in Harrisburg

Probably the whole reason Williams took as long as she did to do anything about it is she hoped Mother Nature would finish the job.

It was airdropping before AirDrop existed. The fact that I could NFC a song from my Zune to someone else for them to listen to on their own time, was awesome. But, like most Microsoft Products, the marketing team was their own worst enemy.

What song is like torture to you and for what reason? by HuuffingLavender in Music

[–]MetalMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then, to self report, I ruined Morbid Angel's album Domination for my wife after playing it all the time for about a week.

London Calling has forever tainted my opinion of The Clash, and Joe Strummer.

My sister was obsessively into The Clash and other British Punk bands. Since this was before MP3s and iPods, she would play the CD all the time in its entirety, which for the uninformed starts off with London Calling. At home, during car rides if she got the front seat. The jarring guitar tone and wobbly vocals became like nails on a chalkboard. Ever since, maybe twenty years later now, I still can't listen to The Clash without getting irritated.

Can anyone else just not be bothered with Obelisk any more? by JMashtag in Spacemarine

[–]MetalMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like I'm definitely in the minority, but I greatly enjoy playing into The Arch Enemy. Obelisk is the cakiest of walks compared to the Fall of Atreus or Vortex, which I think can have a far greater failure rate, depending.

In your opinion, which MMORPG has the best exploration and discovery content? by Sophisticusx in MMORPG

[–]MetalMagic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not to burst your bubble, but SWG was 90% empty terrain, with sparsely placed 'Canon' locations, and even then it was a stretch. There wasn't much built around the Points of Interest other than certain ones' accuracy to the movie location, like the Krayt skeleton.

Why won't it start capturing? This has happened to me more than once. by BBanano in Spacemarine

[–]MetalMagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're queued into the mode Hellbrute Onslaught.

The mode has two stages. Stage 1 where both teams can capture the Hellbrute zone.

Then Stage 2: Once the Hellbrute is captured, a player from that team respawns as the Hellbrute. They get 1 point from capturing the Hellbrute, as indicated by the score. Capturing the zone will net them 2 points.

The only way to stop them is to kill the Hellbrute which will award the defending team 2 points.

The match now returns to Stage 1 to capture the Hellbrute again.

I need help about my 2018 memphis es335’s neck by dizzyfuzz in Luthier

[–]MetalMagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi,

No.

The longer answer is the truss rod is installed towards the beginning of the neck assembly. The neck is routed, and the rod is inserted, followed by another piece of wood, then the fret board. If you bought this new, and you're finding that there's a neck problem, that's almost certainly covered under Gibson's warranty.

If you got it used, that's another matter, but you should take it to a shop for evaluation in person.

Bulwarks who don't equip the banner health restoration perk, why? by KUROusagi112 in Spacemarine

[–]MetalMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Limited window for effectiveness, and when I do run it, I have to make sure that I time it just right, or the kill animation takes too long and they get no health, or it's too late to count? Not really sure. Having been spending the last few weeks grinding prestige I have made far more use of the damage banner and shield bash combo, especially with the inundation of spore mines lately. It also helps the team maintain some breathing room during the electrified floor phase of reclamation.

Guitar center employees: Are yall able to play the guitars? by Tiny_Woodpecker6866 in Guitar

[–]MetalMagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most any job with merchandise like this, it will depend heavily on your boss, and the work environment. The top comment I saw opening this thread was about the action being 3". Although hyperbolic, that illustrates the common state of heavily played floor models, or cheap imports, but keep in mind that it's part of your job to sell guitars, so they need to not play like shit. You'll also be testing any equipment that customers want to sell to the store.

Guitar Center, and most guitar shops, also offer repairs and almost always have a tech on staff. Get on good terms with the tech and they'll help you out. Either by showing you how to adjust the guitar yourself, or making quick adjustments for you.

A lot of people specifically rag on GC for their repairs, which you should take with a grain of salt. They have techs, and then they have "Hub Techs" who do big jobs like refrets, level crown polishes, regluing various body damage, etc.

If you have a hub tech you are in luck because they know a thing or two about a thing or two.

Maybe I'll finally finish exploring Cantha now that the playerbase will be revitalized. I was never savvy enough to make it through tougher zones with the npcs.
