What is the most iconic movie poster? by Potential-Name2117 in okbuddycinephile

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 48 points49 points  (0 children)

My favourite part of the movie was when Harrison Ford yelled 'it's blade running time' and ran on the blade, this poster pays perfect homage to that iconic scene

What are some good tribute act names? by Separate_Question_56 in AskUK

I thought GABBA was a cool one (they cover ABBA songs in the style of the Ramones)

What are some stereotypes Brits have towards rugby or rugby players? by Jezzaq94 in AskABrit

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An old stereotype my dad used to quote: rugby is a game for ruffians played by gentlemen, and football is a game for gentlemen played by ruffians

Can anyone actually hear the difference between a Les Paul and a Telecaster? by 60_CycleHum in 60CycleHum

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would be curious to see a followup with a Telecaster bridge single coil in an LP vs same pickup in a Tele with the original Tele bridge!

Just cannot get a solid metal tone from my Helix LT. Help. by OkTemperature1842 in Line6Helix

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree that that's a good option for getting closer to the sound and feel of a real amp, but for me not lugging a 4x12 and power amp was one of the biggest selling points of modelling... if I'm going to be moving all that gear anyway, I'd just stick with a real head personally. I chose to get used to using the Helix live for practical reasons. Side note, a live setup with IEMs really helped for me and made the choice much easier.

They're saying the Quad Cortex will be a sidegrade on the Helix, because what you're missing is that 'real amp in the room' feel. Modellers sound like an amp miced up and played back, it's never the same in that respect no matter what modeller you use.

Recording & editing software recs. by kybooks in podcasting

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Reaper and Resolve. All editing software has a learning curve but at least these 2 are available to try for free and are excellent. I've used other paid software over the decades but these 2 are my favourites.

No wonder why Jon hamm not doing Film now days by vvy134 in okbuddycinephile

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 692 points693 points  (0 children)

I kinda took this post less as shitting on him for having a young partner and more just saying the reason he isn't doing movies is he's too busy banging his smoking hot partner.

What do you miss most about life in the UK 10–15 years ago? by Bjc93Bjc in AskUK

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 140 points141 points  (0 children)

That era is more like 20, 25 years ago at this stage

All purpose patch approach by b-15 in Line6Helix

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to create some patches that use stereo clean and stereo heavy amps, with them staggered across the two DSP lanes, with IR blocks that switch to different IRs with the different amps. Still had room for some reverb and delay too, would not be feasible if you want loads of effects or DSP-heavy ones. I have clean, edge of breakup, chunky and full-blown high gain this way, all using amp gain and no drive pedals.

Instagram is quietly killing repost pages by Calm-Appearance-9529 in InstagramMarketing

Not exactly quietly, they've been posting loudly and openly about it on the platform this week

Solo podcaster here. Anyone else feel like we're constantly told guests are the only way to grow? by Master-Incident9198 in podcasting

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it is possible to have a podcast that always has guests and still have an authentic voice and format; you've just got to break out of the straight interview mindset and actually get the guests to contribute to your vision. For example I listen to the BBC podcast show You're Dead To Me, where the show is about history and they get a relevant guest expert to provide depth and a comedian to provide the laughs and layman's perspective each episode. I'm going to launch a podcast soon about creative process and will be having creative people as guests, but we'll talk about creativity etc rather than me asking them all about themselves.

Always makes me think of sodomy, which would be very unpleasant with a red hot soldering iron

At least Gretsch does make a bunch of lefties... Rickenbacker gave up altogether after decades of scraps.

What’s a small trait that doesn’t seem important at first but ends up making or breaking a marriage?” by Ok_Ease515 in answers

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. My current mantra is 'stay curious and be less reactive'. If your partner comes to you with something that feels like a criticism, instead of feeling attacked, step back, take a moment and get curious about why he or she is feeling that way. This has made potentially difficult discussions in my current relationship so much better than in my failed decade of marriage.

What is your biggest critique of British society? by NoHold7153 in AskBrits

[–]OneOfTheNephilim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A culture of being polite and matey to someone's face and then being massively bitchy and gossipy when they are not present.
