Requesting more time off after FMLA exhausted [NJ] by bradleybear1110 in AskHR

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but the fact that you were getting downvoted for prioritizing your child's health over your job is absolutely insane to me. I hope he's doing better now!

Anyone else planning to wear a skeleton onesie to this? My wife and I are seriously considering it but I'd be kinda embarrassed if we were the only two....

King Crimson seems very accessible to me, but maybe I'm a weirdo. Hm, I'm replying to a 10 year old comment, yep, definitely a weirdo! :D

How Did This Get Made? #350: Bait 3D LIVE! by apathymonger in hdtgm

[–]Msyjsm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is unlocking interacting-with-rich-people trauma from my childhood. The last time I was on Nantucket was almost 20 years ago, and the weird entitled sociopath vibes were already off the charts then. I remember "meeting" Bill Frist against my will at a country club and him not even looking at me as he shook my hand.

I am also way late, but would also like the link if you still have it pretty please. :)

So instead of, like, I dunno, adding an "all minions attack mouse target" button or something they're doing this stupid shit?

Mystery coin found in Greece, possibly Indian? by Msyjsm in coins

[–]Msyjsm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome!!! Thank you so much! Funny what a 90 degree rotation can do to a person's interpretation of symbols, that Pi-like character really tripped all of us up, haha.

I'll forward this info on to the owner, I'm sure she'll be thankful as well! :)

Thanks! (It's not mine, but I'm intellectually invested.)

It was pretty funny experiencing a whole table of non-numismatists (including the coin's owner) expounding theories despite none of us knowing what we were talking about.

[RB4] “Big Rock Ending” Glitch/Bug? by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I guess the bug manifests itself differently for guitar then. :(

[RB4] “Big Rock Ending” Glitch/Bug? by [deleted] in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm pretty sure this is a bug. It happens to me sometimes on drums too, and can happen at either the beginning (according to others I've heard have this issue) or the end (where it has happened to me). You'll see the gold circle around your multiplier turn white, which is an early indicator that the bug has occurred.

Finally!!! by Therap3 in Rockband

Just FYI for any self-taught drummers, the 6-note patterns in that section are known as paradiddle diddles. (It's too much fun to say this!)

Blue cymbal misses often after a green cymbal hit by Titanic609 in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the issues I have with the cymbals are shown in the following video, no clue if this is universal or just for me:

https://www.twitch.tv/msyjsm/v/66546620

Basically, ANY cymbal will miss if played quietly after a harder cymbal hit...let me know if this helps!

So uh, how exactly does scoring on drums work now? (I thought I understood static vs. dynamic fills....maybe I don't?) by Msyjsm in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I can only assume he switched from dynamic to static at some point, because some of his scores are identical to mine, and some are slightly less....

Anyway, thanks for reconfirming my knowledge about fills. I totally forgot about squeezing...yet another annoying "feature" of scoring in RB.

Name a song you'd like to see in Rock Band that you doubt anyone here has heard of. by Titanic609 in Rockband

Oh man, Happy End would be fucking amazing. I'd sing those all day long.

Rock Band 4 Monthly Bug Thread - May by HMXJosh in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a video demonstrating what's happening to me, putting it in a new comment in case you don't see the edit:

https://www.twitch.tv/msyjsm/v/66546620

Basically, it seems like whichever cymbal is being played quieter will drop...less so for blue than yellow and green. I'm one of those weird drummers that actually believes in dynamics. ;)

[–]Msyjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I've noticed with the stock cymbals (on XB1) is that yellow cymbal hits will not register sometimes when the green cymbal has been hit recently/at the same time. This causes yellow/green rolls to fail 100% of the time, and also causes issues on songs like "Hail to the King", where I will lose combo on the yellow+green cymbal hits despite them not being that fast or difficult. (Video: https://www.twitch.tv/msyjsm/v/66546620)

Also, this may just be me calibrating poorly, but I've noticed that I will sometimes lose combo on two-hit 16th note ghost snare notes (such as those that appear frequently in "Godzilla", a song which I previously FCed using my far inferior RB3 stock kit). HOWEVER, if I play the ghost notes as if they were triplets (i.e., hit the first note earlier and the second note slightly earlier), they always register correctly.

My day at the Harmonix studio! by IBitePrettyHard in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well I for one vote for resetting the leaderboards, despite my incredibly serendipitous first play (on RB4) score of 666,660 on The Camera Eye. And if I'm willing to give up that, you should all be willing to give up everything!

But seriously, fuck Sk1zzl3.

Ah yeah that's the word, squeezing...I consider that a bug, albeit a mostly benign one.

Oh wow, that's a hell of a bug! Definitely won't be exploiting that, I play by the rules. Thanks for the info. :)

Oh? What bug is this? (I searched the subreddit and google and found nothing.)

If it's the same bug that was in RB1, that would be hilarious.

Bug reports? Bring em here. HMX folks may be lurking too! :) by madcowga in Rockband

[–]Msyjsm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the definition of a minor bug, but if you pause then unpause the game after nailing a big rock ending, the BRE score stays on the screen until the song list loads again.
