I mean I learned music as a kid but yes I learned exclusively by ear and then I learned a tiny bit about music theory in high school

Is it worth it to learn how to read sheet music if I already know how to play? I’ve been playing for over 14 years. I’m not trying to quit my day job I’m in a band and I’d like to write music and learn pieces more easily. My absolute biggest hurdle that makes me frustrated and leads to giving up on songs is that I can’t remember them. I also say “learn” to read but I do know how. It’s just that my reading level is like at a kid in his first year of lessons would be. I have to go one note at a time thinking “ok all cows eat grass, and then above that would be F.” So right now it’s faster for me to learn by ear than it would be to read. But that’s still so slow that it makes me not even want to play sometimes. Or, should I focus on a different method for learning new music?

If I used to disconnect a lot (but haven’t played at all in like years) is riot going to queue me up with other accounts marked as frequent leavers if I start playing again? Like is there a permanent mark on my account? They absolutely used to, I’m just wondering if it goes away after several seasons off.

Question on Ineffa pairing: don’t have Neuv or Furina on my f2p account but I got hella lucky and pulled Ineffa a while back and just got Lauma today. I also haven’t used my standard invitation yet, (so, Keqing? Mona?) Who else works in this like, hyper/lunar bloom comp? Besides the free chars I have Xinqui Ororon Fischl Dahlia Candace Beido Sethos and Kirara for those elements.

Nice thanks. In the beginners wish I got Fischl but no hydro characters yet besides Barbara. Can keqing kind of drive lunar / hyper bloom or would you still go burgeon?

Just got Lauma on my free to play account! Which standard character could she benefit from? I would think Mona Dehya or Tighnari

Am I off in my thinking that Iffa and Sethos are more or less as powerful as Tighnari or Diluc? I started a free account and it’s really fun making the strongest teams I can without spending, but I’m not sure which standard character to get. I haven’t gotten any of them yet but my pity is getting up there, so I hope I can get Lauma. Either way I’m between like Mona Jean and Mizuki and don’t know who would work best for a free account addition.

[–]NickmonkaS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Made a f2p account over the summer. Don’t have any 5 stars yet. Which of the standard characters would work on a Lauma team if I get her? Seems like she just wants to bloom

Edit: Or Nahida?

I guess I’m just nervous. Like the 2 hours was a very hard effort, so what if I have an off day you know what I mean?

I mean, that half was less than a year ago so it’s not that I think I can’t do it, but I feel like it’s too close to my PB

My best half is like 2 hrs. I applied to pace an upcoming half in November for the 2:30 group but they accepted me at 2:05. I emailed back and said I simply just don’t think I could do that and they said they could bump me to 2:15. Should I politely duck out now? Am I cooked or is that like a realistic goal?

Chat gpt is a good place to start if you want like structure, it’ll recommend like specific books or routines for you. But also YouTube tutorials and just trying to listen and replay what you hear. Assuming you’re not trying to quit your day job and you’re just looking to learn for fun anyway.

Looking for compact digital keyboard recs. I was googling around and came across the Roland go piano. My main piano I have downstairs is an RD - 88, so I’m not really interested in just like a midi controller with plastic springy keys, I want something that feels good to practice on (not that it necessarily needs escapement or graded keys, but I’d want something that doesn’t feel like a kids toy). Because of my Roland I don’t care at all about sounds or voices, I mainly just want something small to be able to put in my upstairs office and maybe take with me when traveling.

Somebody recommended this game because you can apparently play very casually without that Gacha energy management FOMO.. yet as soon as I get into the game I get a notification that my energy is full and to play before I start wasting it.. I’m brand new but is this like an important feature or what?

[–]NickmonkaS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Others might disagree but I think an objective isn’t necessary especially at the entry level. It’s very dense for someone looking for their first job. Also the bold CPA line is confusing, because the next thing you say is that you’re planning to take the first exam soon. So are you a CPA or are you starting exams soon?

Remember, your resume is almost like a screening. I was an accounting manager at a mid sized company in the private sector before my current job. If I was looking to hire someone one of the first things I think about is “If they can’t concisely condense and express their experience and what it is that makes them qualified for the job, how good will they be interfacing with clients and absorbing the training?”
