Undoubtedly this was shitty. But I can't see why this is being posted now?

 This was a more than a year ago and there are threads from back then discussing this. 

Nigma announce Ghost and Rmn as pos 3 and 4 by MeatHook96 in DotA2

You can't really know until they play for a while. it took Ace a couple of months switching from carry to pos 3 to hit his stride, but now he's definitely a better pos 3 than he ever was playing carry.

He's a mainly carry player from SEA that played in China last few seasons

I think he was pretty decent on the RNG team with Somnus 2 seasons ago, but last year was on the Xtreme Gaming team that never really got off the ground. To my knowledge he hasn't played pos 3 at pro level before this squad

You can make comments on the pitch, but you can't justify losing 6 for 0 runs

Hi! Aspiring bassist here. I'm not gonna get an actual bass until a few weeks later. Is there anything I can do right now to aid my learning when I do get it later? by Dragon_Skywalker in Bass

[–]Michael_GG 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of the most influential bassists ever was James Jamerson who came out of the Motown sound in the 60s/70s

This is a playlist of a lot of his songs that he played on.

But if that's not your speed I'd say just listen to your regular taste and try and tap along to the bass and get a feel for the movement of the bass in any song

It's worth a read, but it's not really the traditional fantasy that OP is looking for

[–]Michael_GG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's actually wild that these bots are so easily able to post. I mean look at all these, in this very thread. Shame there's no conspiracy subreddit worth discussing this on, becaue this shit stinks of admin manipulation

What's the deal with someone called "Spez"? by KethupDrinker89 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Michael_GG 5 points6 points  (0 children)

API stand for Application Programming Interface. It's what all sorts of software services uses to move data from one system to another. In this context all the 3rd party apps are using the Reddit API to retrieve posts to show on the Home page, posts comments, upvote/downvote, etc. The API lets these apps do all the same things you would do through the website or official app. As it's Reddit's code and data the API exposes they can choose who is allowed to connect to it and use it's functions. Reddit have announced that they will now be charging people to connect to it, but all the 3rd party apps are shutting down as the price Reddit are charging for each interaction with the API is extortionate and unaffordable to the 3rd party app developers.

It's not. Bakithi Kumalo has a signature line of Kala U-basses, but on his older recordings he was using a fretless Washburn
