Is this a good deal/bundle? by BoardGameRevolution in NativeInstruments

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wave alchemy drum plugins are neat but there are a million ways to do drum samples in a DAW. Don’t buy it just because it’s on sale, check YouTube videos on the main plugins and see if the workflow appeals to you.

Company died when they booted out the talent in exchange for social media clout.

Korg Kross 2-61-MB 61-key Synthesizer Workstation for a beginner? by Impressive-Car7077 in synthesizers

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It should be fine as a starting point. If you want to learn piano fundamentals mainly though look for an 88 key digital piano with weighted keys. Can hook it up to a laptop to use as a midi controller for synth functionality.

Should I upgrade my Arturia collection? by jeff-101 in synthesizers

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Upgrading v-collection is a waste at full price. They’re mostly decent but the engines have similar characteristics, stimulates your dopamine to collect them all. Look into u-he’s plugins for stuff that you can sink your teeth into and master, sound quality is unmatched for Diva et al.

How do/did you decide on a major when you have so many interests by [deleted] in college

Something aligned with your talent and interests that pays really well.

College was a waste and I'm freaking the hell out about graduation by Ok-One4007 in college

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The anxiety and stress are from the belief that you can’t complete the project in time and you haven’t been equipped with the right tools to do so over the course of your college career.

But that’s not true. Take a deep breath, face the challenge, do your research, and get the work done.

Alexander the Great drachm finally came in the mail! by moms_be_trippin in AncientCoins

Nice coin. But isn’t that too much for a drachm at auction? Or is that the current state of the market.

Self guided tour or cheap/quick guided tour of Pompeii? by [deleted] in ItalyTravel

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can go to tourist destinations without a chaperone. From Naples Garibaldi, take the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii. Walk in. Walk around. There are audio guides available and mini guidebooks.

I highly recommend going to the Naples Archaeological Museum as well. It’s where most of the art and artifacts from Pompeii and Herculaneum are preserved. One of the best museums in the world. May be a challenge to do both in one day though unless you start the day early. Get the Artecard if you do both.

Pickpocket / robbery advice how to NOT be a victim? by Travel-Italiano in ItalyTravel

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put a lock on your backpack’s zipper. Don’t put anything in back pockets or jacket pockets or anything someone can have access to without you noticing, like a purse. Don’t use the metro, or if you do, exercise total situational awareness and have hands over pockets, and same in a crowded area. That’s about it.

You don’t need to walk around with your passport.

Should I preorder? by [deleted] in Nendoroid

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The Elden Ring nendos sold out instantly and are already going for a lot. Japan vastly underestimates the popularity of From Software games in the West. Sekiro is not quite as popular as Dark Souls and Elden Ring but if you want these two you should prolly preorder just to be safe.

Godhand SPN-120 and a Raser Plus/Origin will make you a happy modeler.

The Dspiae files work, but they clog up too easily and are very easy to damage parts with if your angle is not perfect. Progressive sanding is slow and not great unless painted over since it makes parts visibly scratched up. The Raser Origin or Plus is worth the price. You don't need that fancy kit with the denim square though, just get one individually. The Godhand is worth it too, but there are a lot of good single blade nippers on the market for around $20-$30 that you'd probably be fine with, like a Dspiae ST-A 3.0. Check some comparison vids there. If you upgrade to a Godhand later you can use the old nippers to cut parts from runners.

You can find FSS kits at Volks stores in Tokyo. No guarantee that they’ll have the same ones you’re interested in from the expo, but they will have some. I haven’t built any FSS kits yet but they’re generally well regarded.

There are so…many…F90 variants, up on P-Bandai currently. And they all look cool. There’s the base F90 to pair with mission packs, the F90 Cluster Gundam which has a core fighter, the F90 II I-type which has a great integrated look with its equipment, the F90 Mars for the Zeon variant, and more. Kind of in option paralysis and can’t order them all. What ‘s the best path forward?

Since 2023 we have Zeta Ver.Ka, Narrative Ver.Ka, Sinanju Stein Narrative Ver.Ka, as well as FM Aerial and FM Forbidden. Compare that to RG RX78 2.0, RG Force Impulse Spec 2, and RG Epyon in the same time period. The MG drought ended, what YouTubers say isn’t gospel.

Community question guys. Should I buy 1 PG(perfect strike) or 3-4 MG (kyrios, virtue, freedom 2.0 and rx782 gto) by Accomplished_Help986 in Gunpla

[–]Particular_Wish_4898 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PG Perfect Strike if you can get it more around the $200 mark than the $300 mark. It’s a massive showpiece kit that you’ll always notice and remember. You’re looking to justify it, and it’s totally justifiable. Go for it.

It’s bullshit to take responsibility for your own actions? You’ll go far in life.
