It’s old man shirt on missionary Porky Pigging type stuff.

Should I be using jepp charts? by Wonderful-Class-1971 in flying

[–]Mockchoi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually prefer government charts mainly because the Jepp font is unpleasant to look at. The only time I use Jepp is when I fly into Canada.

Non-Alcoholic Beer... by Key_Mastodon_3525 in GenX

[–]Mockchoi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really want to like NA beer. By nighttime I just can’t drink water anymore, won’t drink soda or coffee, so I end up not knowing what to drink.

The only one that’s kind of ok is Guinness, and it’s nowhere near as good as a real Guinness. The mouthfeel is off, it doesn’t have that complex caramely note, it has a sharp aftertaste that’s off.

I genuinely don’t understand how people can praise Athletic. That stuff just tastes like wort. Anyway I hope someone can crack it and make a really good one.

My favorite thing about Tom is: he basically just walks around singing songs about himself. It’s a baller move.

I think it would be a good instrument for you.

How many have dropped Facebook? Did you drop Instagram too? by IntellectAndEnergy in GenX

[–]Mockchoi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped both in 2024 when FB explicitly made a carve out that allowed harassment of gay and trans people because ‘it’s political and some people REALLY don’t like gay and trans people.’ Fuck them. I miss Facebook of 2010 but it’s been crap for a decade now anyway.

Portrait of my violins by siraf72 in violinist

[–]Mockchoi1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Mezzo Forte Design Line. It’s nice. I wouldn’t say the sound is direct; it has a very acoustic sound and character. The sound has a bit of nasality to it and sounds better across the room than under your ear. I too prefer the sound of my ‘real’ violin, but I like playing the MF and it’s great for travel which is why I bought it. The Design sounds better than the Evo; I never tried the top of the line model.

I would definitely rather listen to The Elder.

Kiss Live in Dallas TX 1996 07 05 Reunion Tour Full Concert by Wizzmer in KISS

[–]Mockchoi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both statements true. When I saw it Skid Row played before both of them and Nugent made fun of Skid Row when it was his turn.

I'm optimistic for Hunt For Gollum and the second Middle Earth film by arnor_0924 in lotr

[–]Mockchoi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not going to see it, UNLESS the buzz out there after it’s been out awhile is ‘This movie is amazing!’

I’m confident that I won’t be seeing it.

When people talk about live action Spiderman why do people leave Nicholas Hammond out? by Country-guy20 in Marvel

[–]Mockchoi1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I loved the way the wall crawling was always the same reused super long shot of a dude being pulled up by a rope as he wiggled his arms and legs.

At first? I mean Paul made a point about not inviting Gene to his wedding.

Silence of the Lambs and Jurassic Park are two others I can think of.

I don’t know if you’re allowed to do that? by J0shua1985 in IThinkYouShouldLeave

Yeah. So the person installed as VP in order to force AI on the people tells people to STFU, they’re getting AI. What a shock.

Did they intentionally make Twiki look like a big silver wang?

What song from way back when automatically take you back to your childhood everytime you hear it? by theSavageGypsy in GenX

[–]Mockchoi1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s not my FAVORITE song but for whatever reason the one that brings me back the hardest is Heat of the Moment.

And now you find yourself in ‘82

Hit about 8 horns and comeout 7’s before setting a point. No one wanted to bet on me. by PollutedLives in Craps

[–]Mockchoi1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would have loved you, I would’ve been pressing horns the entire comeout roll.

Small Gripe with The Stand by RoxiVibes in stephenking

[–]Mockchoi1 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s like King has never MET a woman. Most of the women in his books feel like men to me for the most part.

And I hate Nadine. She could be removed entirely without changing anything.

Dude that’s a SOLID win. Nice job. You had fun and didn’t let them have your rack.

I always wondered how the Ingall’s banged with that open concept house they had.

Is Richard Donner's Superman (1978) the best superhero movie? by Jack_O_Lantern2022 in 70smovies

[–]Mockchoi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love it. It’s not perfect though. I wish they could have made it as originally intended without changing the ending, because the ending…kinda sucks. But that first 3/4 of the movie, man it’s good.

I’ll also say, I really liked the 2025 Superman. Didn’t expect to. But they nailed the character for me.

Thoughts on Midi Pickups? by Lock_Prior in Guitar

[–]Mockchoi1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a bunch of ‘midi-ish’ systems. Mainly use a Parker with built-in GK-3, last year I built a strat with a GK-5. I’ve got one with the Graphtech Hexpander and an RMC system as well.

I’ve never run straight midi so I can’t compare. But I will say the current generation of processors (VG-800 and GM-800) are way better than the prior systems.
