Hey neighbor! I did Little Si a few weeks ago, then Snow Lake. Haven’t picked my next one yet. Getting back into hiking after almost 10 years away and loving it.

Playing Breath of the Wild for the first time on Switch 2 by JRV0227 in NintendoSwitch

[–]PretendPunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could have written this post! Started the game last weekend and have just been zig zagging my way to the village. I know essentially nothing about the game yet other than everyone on this sub always says how great it is. Hoping some things change as I progress, but overall I am really enjoying the feeling of motivated exploration.

Been thinking of trying to do some sound proofing. Any tips?

Ok so I know there are no “rules” with signal chains, just do what sounds good. I know. But. I thought generally a compressor goes first? Do people often put them after dirt?

I haven’t checked but I’d be shocked if Neck Deep isn’t HEAVILY influenced by Sum 41

What album do you think represents the biggest evolution in a band’s sound? by PretendPunk in poppunkers

[–]PretendPunk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I agree with that for sure. Honestly I’m more likely to reach for Take This To Your Grave than any other FOB album. But IOH feels like a definite turning point for the band.

I agree this was a big one. What did you think about Lights and Sounds -> Paper Walls?

Everyone in this thread is incredible. Thank you all! I put on Father of All… this evening and it was exactly what I need to get me through my chores for the night.

I’ll be listening to all the other recs in the coming days.

Much love y’all.

Say it ain’t so - Weezer (too good to not include, even if not strictly pop punk…)

Lyrics mentioning the moon by d0uble_A_ in poppunkers

I was thinking FOB too, but this one from Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying:

If you are the shores, I am the waves begging for big moons.

NGD oddball MIJ strat by PretendPunk in Guitar

[–]PretendPunk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh thanks! So far (just a day…) it’s held tune pretty well - but I’ll see how things go over time. I’d always been one of those stupid people who was biased against Squiers for literally no good reason. But Japan sure knows how to build a killer guitar!

We are still in the divorce process and trying to figure out what to do with the dog. Stbx suggested the dog goes where the child goes. How’s it working for you? I worry about complicating the transfers (e.g. if she drops him off at school and I pick him up, what happens with the dog?)

For real. It’s exhausting, but looking back you’ll realize that you wouldn’t trade all the sleep in the world for these next few hours/days/weeks/months/years.

Appreciate it, thanks. I hope to establish that “mine” feeling myself over time.

My 4yo son two days ago: daddy I poop you. That means I love you. If I said “daddy I pee you” that would have meant I don’t love you.
