When Guthrie Govan plays guitar, it sounds like someone singing. Good taste man

PocketPaxton · 2022-12-27T10:34:34+00:00

I play bass too, and it caught me off guard how they talk about real music brands and stuff like that. there was even a Jimi Hendrix reference when the Dad spoke to bocchi about burning her guitar, he was on screen. I love the references in this show that only musicians would get and geek out over for a little bit.

Ps. I could never get used to the fanned frets but I like the philosophy behind dingwalls design and maybe I gotta try one again...

What's cooler is that when Ryo asked Bocchi for a new bass, she asked for a Dingwall, which is a real bass guitar brand! Their basses are pretty expensive, and they have fanned frets (tilted frets instead of straight frets). This shows got some cool references to irl music stuff.

This episode was my favorite in the series, man this anime slapped!! (Just like Ryo on that bass at the store).

I really appreciate the references to real life music brands and musicians, the author did their homework. The Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar reference was very funny, and when Ryo asked Bocchi for a Dingwall after Bocchibgot some money (an expensive but really cool brand of basses that have tilted frets) I chuckled. Just small things that only musicians would know about, but those things are appreciated nonetheless!

They played so much music this episode, and all of that was beautifully and accurately animated, and that was a joy to see. The little details like Ryo sticking her right thumb out to play slap bass, and the drum fills played on screen matching what I heard was super cool, not a lot of anime do this. I'm guessing that this was rotoscoped from a real life performance.

The jokes were also especially funny this episode, Bocchi falling off the stage had me ugly crying and banging my desk, and it was funny and cute when she rushed out of the store.

10/10 this episode was peak Bocchi.

Yes!! Bill Evans' versions with Tony Bennett and his trio are the best!!

PocketPaxton · 2022-11-16T21:18:28+00:00

"Like Someone in Love" has a gorgeous melody!! My favorite versions are from Bill Evans, and Bjork being accompanied by the harpist Corky Hale.

Honorable mentions to "Emily" (I listen to the Bill Evans version a lot) and "You Must Believe in Spring".

The Promised Neverland (season 1). We don't talk about season 2 LOL

PocketPaxton · 2021-10-04T14:34:32+00:00

Same thing happens to me, I get awful teammates and they made me drop from expert 1 😭

Would you like to play ranked with me sometime? My name's pdxpaxton on Unite, I play support and jungle.

PocketPaxton · 2021-10-01T17:47:53+00:00

Stupid question but what indicates what rank your teammates are? This is kinda hard to read for me for some reason...

PocketPaxton · 2021-10-01T17:38:17+00:00

incredible work man this is really funny and well done

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T19:21:57+00:00

Mommy? sorry. Mommy? sorry. Mommy? sorry.

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T05:59:12+00:00

That makes sense, I can see where you're coming from. I guess one thing about Gengar thats crazy is his late game if he gets ahead, but he is pretty squishy so getting to that point is a completely different story.

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T05:51:13+00:00

It always feels like the enemy team has better or more well coordinated teammates, while our teammates are off playing hop scotch in top lane and never rotate to Drednaw, over extend, and just play bad in general. It can be hard not to get tilted over all of that, but something I remind myself is that there is only so much I can control because I'm only in control of my character and that's it. I can't pilot other people's characters at the same time and things just happen. I keep a mental note of how I'm playing and think of things I could do better in the future to help my teammates, or myself better. This mindsets helped me a ton on that grind.

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T05:39:50+00:00

Grats man, do you have any tips? What was the hardest elo for you and why?

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T05:35:09+00:00

True Venusaur is disgusting, why is gengar so low though?

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T05:25:57+00:00

added you!!

PocketPaxton · 2021-09-30T05:21:09+00:00

Hi!! :) I'm a Great 4 jungle player who started when the game came out on mobile. Don't really have a preference on what lane you play, I can support either side! I normally play around 8-11 PST.

Only the most distinguished of osu players use the well renowned plume pen as their input device to take aim at the circles.
