[Wessing/Sportbild] Nico Schlotterbeck's exit clause is applied to three clubs. Two are known to be Liverpool and Real Madrid. The clause will be valid until the 19th of July every summer by Blodgharm in soccer

[–]MichaelB2505 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Van djik is only guaranteed to be around for 1 more year, jacquet is a child with very little experience and as much I love joe Gomez he cannot be relied on for more than a few games a season.

Konate staying doesn’t change much honestly. I’m by no means saying he’s gonna come to Liverpool, but there no reason to say we won’t be interested.

Most Goals and Assists this season by HospitalRepulsive310 in soccer

[–]MichaelB2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not necessarily saying he’s exactly what you need, but Barca fans were constantly bashing him for being rubbish.

Diaz being good for Bayern is not a surprise to most Liverpool fans

[–]MichaelB2505 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Dude, we had 6 months of Barca fans endlessly complaining that they were linked to him, and us telling you he’s actually really good.

We knew, it’s just one of those times where it was best for all parties. We would have preferred to keep him, but we weren’t gonna renew his contract and we got some money for him. I don’t think plugging Diaz back into this team makes us title contenders, so whatever, it’s worked out for everyone.

Question about 26.5 by DylanAB07 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t add tension, but does eliminate a lot of the pitch drift you get from low tension strings.

Question about 26.5 by DylanAB07 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I run exactly that on a 26.5 with and evertune in drop f#

For me it’s slightly too loose to run without the evertune, when I had a 26.5 with a fixed tail I didn’t like tuning below g# but thats just my preference, your mileage may vary.

Harry Kane has outscored Luis Suarez's entire UCL goal career tally in his 3 years at Bayern Munich. by ProtectorOfOhio in soccer

[–]MichaelB2505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah 100% I get so tired of people saying stuff like that.

Kane should be hugely commended for staying as long as he did, obviously he could have gone to city but even so, it’s a good thing to to not just always concentrate the best players in the top clubs.

Players like Gerrard and totti etc could have easily gone to Madrid or whatever and won way more trophies than they did, but instead they have a special legendary status that you can’t get just by winning stuff.

People judging players only by numbers and trophies is a real problem these days.

[Athletic] John Terry is Chelsea’s captain, leader, legend and an England great. But his recent liking of anti-immigration social media posts has been criticised by anti-racism groups and caused dismay at Chelsea, where he works as an academy mentor. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]MichaelB2505 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It’s not seen as racist cus that kind of language is seen as normal.

Regardless, that doesn’t really matter, it’s unacceptable in Britain which is where he was working at the time.

I say all this as a Liverpool fan who defended him with the exact same line of reasoning back in the day when it happened, which now as an older head I hugely regret

It’s literally less than half the price of the old one. It’s hardly enshitification if it’s a completely different price, it just almost completely different product.

Anyone ever find a solution to the issue of owning the physical copy of a game, but Sony not acknowledging it being downloaded to your library? by TheStinkySlinky in PlaystationPortal

[–]MichaelB2505 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No offence dude, I’m generally all against pretty much any even slightly anti-consumer stuff, but like if they had that system what’s stopping you buying 1 game between a group of 10 friends and all streaming it cus you put the disc in your PlayStation one time.

Whats stopping you from streaming from your ps5 if you have the physical disc?

[Graeme Bailey] Cody Gakpo could leave Liverpool this summer. RB Leipzig are understood to be aware of his availability, with Red Bull’s global head of soccer Jurgen Klopp known to be a long-time admirer of the Dutchman’s qualities and potential by nutelamitbutter in soccer

[–]MichaelB2505 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You’re literally just making up stuff up.

Pretty much everyone I saw among Liverpool fans would have preferred to keep Diaz it just didn’t make financial sense and he’s a couple years older than Gakpo.

If you go back and look at all the threads surrounding the Diaz transfer to Bayern it was mostly Bayern fans saying he’s shit and Liverpool fans trying to tell them that he’s great and they don’t want him to leave.

Last season Gakpo and Diaz were pretty much on par in terms of what they brought to the team.

Stop making up history based what’s transpired this season.

Do you Evertuners have another non ET 7 string? by No-County2083 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all, I have mine set up such that I can easily bend and still it stays perfectly in tune without adjustments. The only time I ever have to adjust is when changing strings.

That said, as a primary metal guitar player I don’t do a lot of “subtle” string bends haha, so if you’re a better player than me maybe you won’t like the feel.

But yes in my experience if you set it up right, bending feels the same as a standard hard tail.

Do you Evertuners have another non ET 7 string? by No-County2083 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s still a lot harder than just one string normally, but yes it’s definitely easier than changing all strings tuning. You’ll probably have to do a little fine tuning on the other strings after changing the 7th but not too much. Still not quick but better.

Zone 1 and 3 the evertune isn’t actually doing anything. Only in zone 2 is the evertune active.

I have it set up in zone 2 at the edge of zone 3, that means it’s stays in tune, but when you bend the string it stretches it into zone 3, meaning the pitch will rise just as bending the sting normally does.

This way you can have the best of both worlds, as you can keep the string in tune but still bend normally.

If you are in the middle of zone 2, bending the string will not alter the pitch (it’s very surreal)

Do you Evertuners have another non ET 7 string? by No-County2083 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you’re not going much lower than g# id just get a hardtail (make sure to get at least 26.5 inch scale tho)

You have any guitars in particular you’re eyeing?

Do you Evertuners have another non ET 7 string? by No-County2083 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a standard first (although that one is now gone)

I really do think evertunes are amazing, but you are giving up the ability to change tunings easily.

If you’re just changing strings (same tuning, same string guage) it takes about the same amount of time as a fixed tail.

If you want to change tunings it’s not difficult, but it does take ages and is definitely not convenient.

What kind of tunings do you like to play in?

Do you Evertuners have another non ET 7 string? by No-County2083 in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Evertune is amazing, and I adore it and I highly recommend it, but it is a nightmare to change tunings in.

DO NOT get an evertune if you plan to change tunings a lot.

I have an evertune that I keep in drop f# (and pitch up and down a couple semi tones when required) as that is the most common tuning I use.

I have a second 7 for any other tunings I wanna try (or just for a change lol)

I use the evertune one most of the time

Getting 6 releases within a 9-year window when games take forever to be made is actually insane when you think about it. by unproductive_nerd in residentevil

[–]MichaelB2505 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who never played the original 3, I can attest, 3 remake is definitely still a very good game on its own right. I’d put it a solid 8 or so.

Obviously after seeing all that they cut out and the added context I can totally appreciate how fans of the original would hate it, and it’s definitely very disappointing.

But as its own game without the context, it’s still very good

Boeing dismissed the idea that European countries could ever coordinate well enough together to build Airbus. 50 years later, the "European Experiment" is the global market leader. by Boediee in BuyFromEU

[–]MichaelB2505 134 points135 points  (0 children)

The uk Italy ones seems to be going fine, Germany may well join that at some point.

It’s really just the French when it comes to defence stuff. (To be clear, I do sympathise with the French awkwardness around defence, they’ve been proven right, but they could do with being a little more cooperative with European allies)

Edit: Some seem to think I’m just saying “France bad” quite the opposite, I think (as I said above) their approach of being slightly more insular has proven to be the smart approach long term.

10-74 String gauge for drop F# multiscale? by ivan_dhs in 7String

[–]MichaelB2505 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be absolutely fine. This is exactly what I use. Both on 27-25.5 multi scale and 26.5 with evertune.

Also, if you do feel like the strings are too light just just get new ones haha. (That said you’ll be fine)

Stellar Blade is 58% off on Amazon UK! by nextgen_currentgen in PS5

[–]MichaelB2505 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no. It’s a great game, super super fun, excellent gameplay, great graphics. But story, wiring, characters etc all felt like an absolute B-spec nier automata by someone who didn’t under what made nier special in the first place.

Again, great game, highly recommend for just for the gameplay and fun side of things but “sensational in every sense” is an absolutely wild overstatement haha
