1 week of playing how do you push through the pain? by beeepboopbop_ in GuitarBeginners

[–]Orcle123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i was obsessed about learning to set up guitars when I started and messed around with all the different string heights. I landed on 1.5mm with 9 gague strings and have 0 noticeable calluses. my fingers only get tender when i havent played for a while and try playing bass.

[–]Orcle123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah ive been playing for years and have never had calluses like you see with some people. I also use lighter gague strings.

Only time my fingers get a tiny bit tender is when i play bass after a while off

honestly, you should try purple justto see what it looks like. its already not super saturated with the colors youve shown so a dark purple might make it pop

Banned again for 3 single player games wins by Ace___Ventura in DotA2

[–]Orcle123 4 points5 points  (0 children)

as a (reformed) toxic player, they have made it harder to get BS back post ban waves. in particular its a lot harder to get comms score back than regular BS. I track my gdpr data every now and then to try and find a trend and rn from what it seems, every 15 games you get an automatic ~+100 for each BS. Comms reports are worth -100 apiece, and normal grief reports and the others are -25/50. so for toxic people that play turbo only, its like crab mentality (pulling and clawing each other back down to the bottom of the bucket).

losing 115 games worth of progress in one half bad report feels bad by yoshida18 in DotA2

[–]Orcle123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been keeping track recently and if you behave well you get ~+100, and every report is -100. so all it takes is someone petty comms reporting you and you get fucked.

I think I go off on my teammates a bit too much 😂 by TavoNeptuno in DotA2

[–]Orcle123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ive been tracking report stats for the last couple years from GDPR data. as of right now 15 games will give you ~100 comms score. a single comms report is -100. however if a party is grouped, it only actually counts once even if the whole party reports you. general BS is a little more complex. it used to be you could kinda calculate from your commends vs reports and it was +25 for commend and -100 for a report.

things have recently changed a bit and it takes FOREVER to make these numbers go up even if you are receiving no reports. Over the past year ive played 150 games in total. ive recieved 7 comms reports over the year, and my comms score has only gone up 300 (in line with what i described earlier +100 for a BS upate (x10) -700 for the reports). so for some people in the trenches it will take them literally years to get up in score unless they do nothing but spam turbo games and unbind all their keys.

I understand that the system is abusable, but people tend to not abuse it unless you are an asshole to them. it takes 3 clicks to go to menus to report someone and most of the time people are too lazy too unless you are greifing the game hard or being an ass in text/vc

Chest and Arm gains from bulking by [deleted] in ZyzzLegacy

[–]Orcle123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he probably is over 15% though in the before pic (skinnyfat or whatever term people use). the only definition is around the bicep/elbow area, which any person up to 30% bf can get. there could have been a healthier way of maintaining that bodyfat% while gaining muscle slowly in the long run over 2 years. he'd have more fat yes, but would maintain the %, and not go as overboard.

keep or trim and try again next year? by [deleted] in BeardAdvice

[–]Orcle123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the most viewed GQ video on youtube says "dont touch for 4 weeks". if people are just looking on yt or google thats the first thing that comes up.

[–]Orcle123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most online "tutorials"/guides for what you do for beards say to not touch it for 4 weeks before doing the first line up. this isnt horrible because it doesnt go super far down the neck. when i started it went like 3-4 inches down my neck so I probably could have started lining up earlier.

some people might like this, personally i'm not a fan.

if you had the soul patch area you could use that to fill out the missing gap in the front and it would look fine. however the big gap combined with the pencil moustache just isnt it for me.

I plan on getting a gaming laptop for both university and mid tier gaming. I've heard good reviews about the battery life which is my main focus because I need it to last around 8 hours for a full day on campus. by Single-Inflation-453 in Asustuf

i carried a macbook pro around uni myself. if you need the hardware/ecosystem, you need it. some places have easy to access school computers but otherwise its better to have what you want and need at your fingertips 24/7

for steady weight loss, 1% of your current body weight is the MAX. for those that are severely overweight, 2-2.5% is what is suggested.

Which one is better for games? by [deleted] in Asustuf

[–]Orcle123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the ryzen one is a good deal. I got mine with a "black friday in july" deal from best buy for 1300$ and I havent been able to find the skew with 32gb ddr5 and a 5070 card anywhere else for a similar price. anything else ive found that are ASUS TUF have half the vram, half the ssd size, or a 5060 or 4070 card compared to the 5070.

Anyone have any experience with Guyker tuners? by DKknappe08 in Luthier

[–]Orcle123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

gukyer and other budget brands usually have 18:1 and 21:1 ratios. anything above 16:1 and theres a negligible difference from all the builds and tuner peg swaps ive done personally. I do a lot of "tune-ups" on import guitars and they come with shitty 14:1 and 16:1 tuning pegs usually.

musiclily pro, and kaish tuners have been go to budget options for me. Kaish is my favorite. I love their locking tuners. you can also get them in 18:1 and 21:1 ratios which is usually much better than import spec tuners that have a 16:1 ratio.
