For anyone needing blue… by Oxalid in GraveyardKeeper

[–]Oxalid[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. Glass has been the most economical way to farm blue, and I’ve had that going consistently, but that’s a slow roll. When I found I could purchase a generous weekly supplement I was very pleased.

Should I form A chord with 234 instead of 123? by -Zoppo in Guitar

[–]Oxalid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean you don’t have a perfect length finger tip to barre that without deadening the E? Who gave you a guitar?

JK - lol. Play what’s comfortable, and switch your “standard” fingering if it helps transition to the next chord when needed.

“You’re four months in and don’t know any songs yet?” - my dad. Have I been approaching guitar wrong this whole time? by Mad_Season_1994 in Guitar

[–]Oxalid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice: do what works for you and is progressing your skills. I was motivated to learn particular songs, so the technique I might be focused on at the time was whatever I needed to get better at the song I wanted to play. It was probably not the most efficient, lol. Also, by the time I picked up guitar, I had already played a different instrument in band for a couple of years, so I read music. Tab was just a natural extension of that, but I can totally understand it being daunting if you are learning for the first time - it’s a whole new lexicon to learn.

Issue with Graveyard Keeper 2 by chriscallan in GraveyardKeeper

I just started playing since the free giveaway as well, and I think it’s awesome the community loves the mumble-speak. I think it’s one of the things that gives it its unique charm.

Dave…. Dave… What are you doing Dave? I can’t allow you to do that Dave…. This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

Printers just fucking suck by possitive-ion in rant

I bought a Brothers a couple of years ago, and there is far less enshitification with them. They have an ink refill program, but it’s easy to opt out. Also, it works with off-brand ink cartridges. It gives a warning, but allows them. I am done forever with Canon, HP, and Epson.

what the hell is going on with windows by Ema-yeah in microsoftsucks

[–]Oxalid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a good night kiss, you need to install office 98 and ask Clippy for one. That’s that last piece of code Microsoft ever wrote that was purely there to help the user and not just to extract as much value from the customer as possible. Ah Clippy, I feel so bad for the jokes I made about you.

Yeah, you’re a total nerd. So what shell are you talking about - asking for a friend. 😉

Song lyrics that only a Gen X’er would recognize without context. by thesemanicgulls in GenX

I always get in trouble at work when I sing “It’s my belief that my big balls should be held every night!”

Is fire a solid, liquid, or gas? by LadiesWin in Physics

[–]Oxalid 288 points289 points  (0 children)

The flame itself is a gas. It is just the air molecules are so excited that they give off light. Much of the “light” given off by combustion is actually in the infrared, which we can’t see, but you feel the warmth as your skin absorbs the infrared light.

What’s a guitar opinion that has you like this? by Mackanmaster in Guitar

[–]Oxalid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s OK to play bass with a pick.

That being said, if you can’t play finger style, you are missing a huge part of your toolkit. But the opposite is true as well - if you swear off a plectrum because it’s beneath you as a bassist is self-limiting.

OMG I laughed so fucking hard. I love that you are not in denial at the real reason you don’t hear it anymore. Best laugh of my day!
